The next morning, Cheng Si was awakened by the noise upstairs. There was a loud "bang bang bang" sound, which sounded like chopping meat.

Jin Li, who was standing next to him, was also awakened by the noise. He opened his eyes and looked at Cheng Si sleepily, "Why is your soundproofing so poor?"

Cheng Si usually didn't notice it, as he was used to the noise here in the morning, but now that Jin Li was here, he also felt that it was indeed a bit noisy. "Today happens to be the weekend, and there is an auntie living upstairs. She cooks on her weekends."

"Cooking so early in the morning? It smells delicious, a banquet," Jin Li said, somewhat confused.

Cheng Si smiled but didn't say anything. He first checked the time. It was almost eleven o'clock. "It's getting late now."

Jin Li sighed when he heard this, "You're blaming others wrongly."

Actually, they both went to bed very early yesterday, but Jin Li woke up in the second half of the night, and woke up Cheng Si as well. They didn't fall asleep until dawn.

Jin Li brought Cheng Si into his arms and closed his eyes. "What do you want to eat later?"

"All right, what do you want to eat?"

Upon hearing this, Jin Li suddenly opened his eyes and smiled leisurely.

Cheng Si pushed him away and stood up. "Stop messing around. I'm going to go out and wash up first. You can handle it yourself."

Jin Li did not stop him. Before Cheng Si left the room, he heard the man's rude laughter.

...

After Cheng Si finished washing up, he went downstairs to buy some breakfast. Jin Li just came out of the room, covered in sweat.

"Dou Dou, does your family have spare toiletries?" Jin Li asked while drying his hair.

Cheng Si paused for a second when he heard the name, "Oh, I'll get it for you."

When Jin Li finished washing up, Cheng Si just hung up the phone.

Jin Li walked to the dining table and sat down. "Who were you talking to on the phone just now?"

"I was on the phone with my mom, and she asked me if I was going to have dinner at her place tonight."

"Auntie, how are you feeling now?" Jin Li looked at Cheng Si.

"My immunity isn't as good as before, but it's generally okay. There haven't been any major problems with my physical examinations in recent years," Cheng Si said as he placed a bowl of porridge in front of him. "Have breakfast."

Jin Li frowned as he looked at the century egg and lean meat porridge in front of him, but didn't pick up his chopsticks immediately.

Seeing him like this, Cheng Si thought that this person was picky about food, and said helplessly, "If you don't want to drink porridge, there are buns next to it."

Jin Li looked up at him and pursed his lips, "It's okay to drink, you're not that delicate."

After saying that, Jin Li took a spoon and picked up the ginger shreds in the bowl bit by bit. Cheng Si also understood and looked at the fine shreds in his bowl and paused, "Can you eat mine? There is no ginger in my bowl."

Jin Li glanced at his mung bean porridge and asked, "Why are you still treating people differently?"

"Your bowl costs 10 yuan, and mine only costs 5 yuan. You can't afford it," Cheng Si said as he exchanged the preserved egg and lean meat porridge in front of him with Jin Li's. "Eat it."

Jin Li smiled when he saw his stern face, took a sip of mung bean porridge, and praised, "It's very sweet."

"Do you have any work arrangements later?" Cheng Si finished the last bit of porridge and looked up at Jin Li.

"Well, I'll be busy lately. I'll have lunch with you at noon. We have a dinner party tonight."

After hearing him report his schedule, Cheng Si also said, "I also have to go to the lab at 3 pm. It's Lin Zhi's birthday tomorrow, so we have to go to dinner tonight."

Jin Li threw the empty lunch box on the table into the trash can beside him and looked at him, "Where are we having dinner?"

"Over there at Guomao."

"Okay, call me when you're done."

Cheng Si knew that this person was going to pick him up, and he felt relieved. Did this mean that the two of them would be able to meet again in the evening?

...

Cheng Si went to the laboratory for testing in the afternoon and finished it at about 6:30. He rubbed his sore temples, said hello to other people in the laboratory, and took a taxi to the meeting point.

When he arrived, he was not the last one to arrive, as Su Luoyin was the only one seated there.

Cheng Si sat down and asked curiously, "We agreed to meet at 7 o'clock, why are you the only one here when the time is almost up?"

"I knew Songsong went to get the cake," Su Luoyin said, slumping in the chair. "I'm close to here after get off work and came early. The waiter has come three times, and I can't let them come for nothing. I've been getting water every time, and I've drunk so much water that I'm full."

Cheng Si was immediately amused by his funny behavior, "The service attitude here is quite good."

“It’s really good, I’ll eat here again next time!”

As we were chatting, the waiter I had just talked to came over again with a polite smile on his face, "Hello sir, would you like to order now?"

Su Luoyin smiled and said, "Okay, bring another pot of water."

The waiter almost couldn't hold back his smile after hearing this, "Uh, okay."

After saying that, he was about to leave and refill the water, but this time he was stopped by Su Luoyin, "Hey, Miss Sister is teasing you, bring some juice, a plate of fruit, some cold dishes, or maybe some soup. Cheng Cheng, what kind of soup do you like?"

"Oh, I don't know what kind of soup is good. You decide."

"Okay, okay," Su Luoyin smiled at the waiter after ordering the dishes that were impeccable. "Let's order these first. I'm sorry for what happened just now. It's not polite to not order dishes for friends. Sorry to bother you."

The waiter smiled more sincerely when he heard this, "It's okay, I'll go out and serve you the dishes first."

"OK, thanks."

Hou Zuocheng was the third person to come. The fruits had just been served when he arrived, and his wife was with him.

Although Su Luoyin wanted to spit on him for bringing his family, he was still very considerate to him, "Sister-in-law, have some drinks or fruit first."

Hou Zuocheng's wife is a Chinese teacher. She seems to have a gentle personality and thanked him politely. "I happened to be having dinner with a friend nearby today, so I came up to say hello. I'm leaving now. You guys can have a good time together."

After Hou Zuocheng sent them out the door, he came back and looked at the two of them with some confusion, "I thought I was the last one to arrive, why hasn't the birthday boy arrived yet?"

Su Luoyin didn't answer his question directly, but said in amazement, "Look at you now. Your wife just treated us like air."

"Is it that serious? My wife just got pregnant, I have to keep an eye on her," Hou Zuocheng said this seriously and proudly.

"Oh, congratulations," Su Luoyin smiled at him, "Come on, let me toast you a glass!"

Cheng Si also raised his glass, "Congratulations."

As he was talking, the door of the box opened. Xin Yisong raised his eyebrows and asked with a smile, "What congratulations?"

"The monkey is going to be a father!"

This was something worth being happy about in the first place, and Su Luoyin's tone made it even happier. For a moment, everyone present couldn't help but burst out laughing.

"Damn it, Su Luoyin, can you be more normal? Why do I feel so uncomfortable when I hear you say that?!"

"Hahaha, it has something to do with your own name."

After a while, there was a noise at the door and the birthday boy, Lin Zhi, finally arrived.
