After exchanging souls with the villain, Hu Ka slaps the entire Internet
Chapter 37 Reciprocity
Xu Wei handed the seafood she brought back from Haicheng to her aunt and went back to her room to wash up.
After returning from Haicheng, my body was covered with a lot of fishy smell. I soaked in the bathtub for half an hour, and then applied skin care products on my body until the fragrance was absorbed.
When I went downstairs, Cheng Xianzhi just arrived home.
"you are back."
Xu Wei's voice was a little excited, and she unconsciously quickened her pace downstairs.
Cheng Xianzhi nodded.
Xu Wei's lively appearance invisibly influenced Cheng Xianzhi. His eyebrows were stained with smiles, but he was still concerned about her safety and warned her, "Watch your step."
Xu Wei took two steps at a time, went downstairs, and excitedly pulled Cheng Xianzhi towards the dining table.
"I was worried that you had some social engagements tonight. I just brought back some fresh seafood from Haicheng. Come and try it."
The table was filled with seafood that the aunt had just brought out from the kitchen. There were all kinds of seafood.
When Cheng Xianzhi came out after washing his hands, Xu Wei was already sitting at the dining table, waiting for him with great interest.
"I asked Auntie to make salt and pepper mantis shrimp. Haicheng's restaurant steams them to retain the original flavor. I ate too much these past two days, so I asked Auntie to change the flavor." Xu Wei picked up one and put it in Cheng Xianzhi's bowl.
Cheng Xianzhi didn't pick up his chopsticks, staring at Xu Wei in a daze.
His Adam's apple rolled up and down as he asked, "Do you like seafood?"
Xu Wei was concentrating on the seafood in her bowl. She peeled the shrimps with difficulty and replied without even looking up, "I like it."
It took a lot of effort to peel off an incomplete mantis shrimp.
The tender meat collided between her lips and tongue. Xu Wei squinted her eyes happily, not realizing that someone beside her was observing her for a long time.
After struggling with the shell of the mantis shrimp for dozens of times, Xu Wei still couldn't peel a complete mantis shrimp.
Suddenly.
A mantis shrimp with its head still attached but without its shell was put into her bowl.
Xu Wei looked up in surprise and praised without reservation, "Cheng Xianzhi, you are amazing! You can actually peel a whole mantis shrimp!"
There were stars in her eyes, and the look she gave Cheng Xianzhi was full of admiration.
"Can you teach me how to do it?"
Cheng Xianzhi was touched by Xu Wei's unconscious coquetry, and the corners of his mouth curled up into an arc of joy, so he had to act as a life teacher.
Xu Wei, who was following Cheng Xianzhi's tutorial, fell silent as she looked at the mantis shrimp in her hand with half of its tail missing.
This thing is harder than doing an experiment, no kidding.
Looking at Xu Wei, who was lost in thought and looked a little depressed, Cheng Xianzhi put the whole shrimp in his hand into her plate, lowered his eyes and said comfortingly: "Don't judge a person by his appearance, and the same applies to eating."
Xu Wei was stunned.
It was clearly her who treated Cheng Xianzhi to seafood, but she asked him to peel it for her.
That doesn't make sense.
Xu Wei put the mantis shrimp she had just peeled on his plate and smiled, "It's a good idea to return the favor."
After dinner, Xu Wei touched her stomach and walked in the yard to help digest the food.
Cheng Xianzhi will definitely get off work on time tonight. By now his sons have finished their meal, and there is still some afterglow of the sunset hanging in a corner of the sky in Beijing.
The hydrangeas in the yard are in full bloom, clustered together like stars in the sky, and are very pleasing to the eye.
Xu Wei ran back into the house, got a pair of scissors, cut a few of the most luxuriant flowers, and put them in the vase in the living room.
Cheng Xianzhi saw the little girl busying around, and smiled and asked her to sit down and have some tea.
After staying outside for a while, I happened to feel thirsty, so I took the tea handed to me by Cheng Xianzhi and drank it all in one gulp. Only then did I realize that the tea was different from before.
In the past, tea tasted slightly bitter at first, but then had a slight sweet aftertaste. But today, tea tastes a bit sour and astringent.
Seeing Xu Wei frowning slightly, Cheng Xianzhi asked her with a smile what she drank.
"It seems to taste different from the past. Today's tea is a little sour and astringent. If you smell it carefully, it seems to have a special fragrance. Is there tangerine peel in it?"
Cheng Xianzhi nodded and poured her another glass.
"This is a stomach-nourishing tea. Seafood is cold in nature. You ate a lot just now. Drink some tea to neutralize it."
Xu Wei's face flushed quietly, "If you had told me earlier, I wouldn't have eaten more."
"It's okay if you like to eat it."
The two of them sat quietly in the living room drinking tea, while today's news broadcast was playing on TV.
Xu Wei felt as if she had entered retirement early and laughed out loud unconsciously.
Noticing Cheng Xianzhi's puzzled gaze, Xu Wei explained with a smile, "It just suddenly feels like our current state is like that of a retired grandpa and grandma, who take a walk after dinner every day, drink tea, watch the news broadcast, and go to bed before ten o'clock."
Cheng Xianzhi laughed.
The little girl has a pretty big imagination.
He is clearly not even thirty years old, but people already think of him as an old man in his seventies or eighties.
As if he suddenly remembered something, Cheng Xianzhi said apologetically, "Sorry, I may have to go on a business trip tomorrow, so I may have to wait a little longer to teach you the art of tea."
Xu Wei waved her hand generously, "It's okay. Work is more important. Teach me when you are free."
After the news broadcast was over, Cheng Xianzhi walked into the study.
The special assistant called more than a dozen times on the phone. Cheng Xianzhi frowned, hung up the call from his assistant, and turned on the computer.
The special assistant in the company was extremely anxious.
Whose boss leaves work on time even though he has a multinational video conference in the evening?!
Not only did I leave work on time, but I also made more than a dozen phone calls and each one of them got hung up on!
The special assistant couldn't laugh.
Facing the camera, he had to explain to a group of foreigners, "Sorry, everyone may need to wait a little longer, Mr. Cheng."
The boss said that the meeting would be late tonight, so he asked him to preside over the meeting first, and he would definitely be able to hold on.
For his million-dollar annual salary, he certainly can.
The special assistant silently cheered himself up.
At 7:40 pm, Cheng Xianzhi entered the video conference, and the special assistant felt relieved.
This multinational meeting lasted until after ten o'clock, and the lights in the living room downstairs had already been turned off.
Cheng Xianzhi stood outside Xu Wei's door and pinched his brows tiredly.
The room was silent, and Cheng Xianzhi suddenly laughed to himself.
I don’t know what’s wrong with me. Knowing that she is coming home today, I can’t wait to get off work on time and want to go home to see her as soon as possible.
He was happy every minute and every second with her, probably because he coveted the emotional value that others brought to him.
Cheng Xianzhi shook his head and walked back to his room.
After washing up, I realized that two hours ago, two people in the childhood friend group had tagged him and asked him where he was.
Cheng Xianzhi replied and turned off the lights.
I was thinking to myself that what I did today was quite irrational.
-
Xu Wei watched TV downstairs for a while and then felt sleepy.
When I went upstairs, I glanced at the tightly closed wooden door of the study, and a faint light was visible from the crack at the bottom of the door.
Does Cheng Xianzhi still have work so late?
Since you have a job, why did you come back so early today?
A shocking reason flashed through her mind.
Cheng Xianzhi once said that he had no hope in love, so is it possible that this possibility does not even have one percent of hope?
Xu Wei lowered her eyes, her long eyelashes hiding the emotions in her eyes.
Perhaps because she hadn’t slept well for several days, Xu Wei slept quite soundly this time.
