Siheyuan: Cooking journey

I remember he went to the airport last night.

Maybe he has left here.

But she still held out a glimmer of hope, maybe he was still here and hadn't left.

.......

The weather in Hong Kong was not good, it was gray and drizzling.

Even the room seemed a little dim.

Zhou Xiaobai woke up from his sleep and felt himself being gently embraced in someone's arms. He turned his head involuntarily to look, feeling as if he was in a dream.

The man she had missed for a long time looked at her with a smile.

It was like a beautiful dream.

Zhou Xiaobai felt confused, it really felt like a dream.

Otherwise, how could such a good thing happen?

"I really miss you……"

Zhou Xiaobai hugged him tightly.

Warm body temperature, rapid heartbeat, familiar smell, everything is so real.

This made Zhou Xiaobai even more confused, and he couldn't tell whether what he saw was real or an illusion.

I just know that we should hug each other tightly and never separate again.

"noob……"

He Yuzhu called out softly, originally wanting to say something about taking her home, but in the end, these words turned into a gurgling stream, sweet and continuous. The only thing he could express at this moment was that he would never be separated from her again.

The dim room still retains its hue,

But the air was full of movement.

After a long time, the room was still filled with this uneasy atmosphere.

Gloomy weather.

The room is not very bright.

Lin Qingqing woke up groggily and stretched instinctively.

She frowned because of her physical discomfort, and then she remembered what happened last night, and a look of shyness and sweetness appeared on her face.

The room was empty and there was no sign of He Yuzhu.

I knew he must have gone to accompany Zhou Xiaobai.

She felt a little lost and unhappy.

I wanted to stay a little longer last night, but suddenly I lost consciousness.

Although the specific reason is unknown, it is definitely related to He Yuzhu.

It won't happen like this for no reason.

Lie in bed for a while.

Lin Qingqing frowned and stood up, looked at the clothes scattered on the bed, a special emotion flashed in her eyes, she chose one, put on her clothes, and walked out. The living room was also empty, cleaned up, with no traces left last night.

Lin Qingqing looked around and felt lost again.

Obviously, this was cleaned up by He Yuzhu.

And he kept everything so clean, probably because he didn't want Zhou Xiaobai to find out anything.

If Zhou Xiaobai was his legally married wife, there would be nothing wrong with doing this.

But even so, he was still so careful.

This shows that He Yuzhu really cares about Zhou Xiaobai.

In comparison, I am more like the person who cannot be honest.

Lin Qingqing was lost in thought for a while, feeling completely lost.

She looked at the clock and then at the bedroom door.

The clock showed that it was past twelve o'clock.

The bedroom door was closed.

He hesitated.

Lin Qingqing walked forward.

I could faintly hear some noises.

Biting her lip, Lin Qingqing told herself that she had to adjust her mindset. It was just for this man's money. He was a playboy and she shouldn't care too much about him. But she couldn't help feeling sour in her heart, and she couldn't deceive herself by pretending that she didn't care.

But what can I do if I care?

I have known for a long time that this man was married, and I also know about his relationship with Zhou Xiaobai.

I clearly broke in by myself, and everything is my own choice.

There was a moment of daze in Lin Qingqing's eyes, but soon she became determined.

Now that I have made the choice, I will stick to it.

In terms of appearance and figure, he is no worse than Zhou Xiaobai.

I just don't believe that this man has no attachment to or love for her.

If one time is not enough, do it a few more times. Make sure he remembers it.

I will continue to work here for a long time in the future and will live with Zhou Xiaobai, so there will be plenty of opportunities.

Just like last night, even though he knew it wasn't Zhou Xiaobai, he didn't refuse.

Once you start, it won't be easy to end.

Lin Qingqing's eyes flickered. She looked at the closed door, went back to the guest room, packed up, took her bag and left an hour later.

Lin Qingqing came back with the packed food.

After setting the meal on the table.

Go to the bedroom door.

The room was very quiet, with no unusual sounds.

Imagining that they must still be intimate at this moment, Lin Qingqing felt a little sad. She reached out and knocked on the door, saying, "Xiaobai, it's noon. Are you hungry? I bought some food. Do you want to eat?"

inside the house.

He Yuzhu was gently stroking a few strands of hair.

Zhou Xiaobai buried his face in his arms, full of happiness. When he heard Lin Qingqing's voice, he responded in a panic: "Okay, right away..."

"Hurry up then, or the food will get cold."

After disturbing them, Lin Qingqing was happy and immediately returned to the guest room.

In addition to buying food, I also brought back some other things.

She put on a white shirt.

The shirt was a little loose, with the hems covering the thighs and not sticking to the body.

The sleeves were rolled up slightly, and the top two buttons were unbuttoned, revealing a bit of the V-neck, making the overall look more stylish.

Lin Qingqing stood in front of the mirror and turned around a few times, her delicate face flushed. She adjusted her V-neck, buttoned one more button, and then walked barefoot to the dining table and sat down.

With the dining table as a cover, the white shirt looks more appropriate.

Thinking about what was going to happen next, Lin Qingqing felt a little nervous, shy, and a little expectant.

This is the first time I dress like this, and I’m not sure if the man will like it?

In the bedroom.

Zhou Xiaobai breathed a sigh of relief when she saw Lin Qingqing stopped yelling. She looked at He Yuzhu shyly, buried her face in his arms again, and whispered, "Are you hungry? How about we go out..."

"Not hungry..."

He Yuzhu hugged her tightly and joked, "Are you hungry?"

"Hate……"

Zhou Xiaobai realized the meaning of his words belatedly and pinched him shyly.

"No, I just feel embarrassed to keep Qingqing waiting..."

"Oh."

Zhou Xiaobai then said:

"When you came here just now, you should have seen Qingqing, right?"

"She was the one who opened the door when I knocked on it in the morning."

He Yuzhu explained calmly. Thinking back to what happened last night, he felt a little guilty and guilty, so he pretended to be curious and asked, "Why is she here?"

"Her mother was sick, so she transferred to Hong Kong University to take care of her mother. She is in the same class with me." Zhou Xiaobai explained somewhat embarrassedly.

"It's convenient for school, so I let her live here. She doesn't live here all the time. She only comes here once every three or five days. The rest of the time she stays at home with her mother. Don't blame me for not telling you about this in advance."

He Yuzhu felt a surge of warmth in his heart, hugged her tightly, and said softly, "Why should I blame you?"

"Instead, I should be the one who is sorry for you, leaving you alone in this strange city. Pack up later, and I'll take you back to China."

"what!"

Zhou Xiaobai was extremely surprised and excited. He looked up at him in disbelief.

"really?"

"of course."

He Yuzhu nodded and said firmly.

Zhou Xiaobai hugged him tightly, feeling both sweet and lost.

It is of course good to be able to return to China. Even if we cannot see each other every day and accompany each other day and night, it is better than being thousands of miles away and only seeing each other a few times a year.

But Zhou Xiaobai knew better that he couldn't go back.

It’s not just because my study abroad quota has been taken and it will be difficult to explain when I return; it’s also because I’m older and my parents will definitely arrange blind dates for me.

You can refuse once or twice, but no matter how many times you refuse, your parents will always keep making arrangements and urge you to get married soon.

This is a real headache.

What’s even more annoying is that Lou Xiao’e and Ran Qiuye are both in China. In that case, if their relationship is exposed, it will cause great harm to the beloved men, to Lou Xiao’e and Ran Qiuye, and especially to their parents.

Knowing all this, even if Zhou Xiaobai wanted to return to China, he could only restrain the idea.

Similarly, she knew that if she could think of it, how could the man not think of it? Knowing this, he was willing to take the risk and let her go back.

She was deeply moved by this kindness, but it also made her more determined not to go back.

"I don't want to go back..."

He Yuzhu was slightly stunned and opened his mouth, wanting to ask why he didn't want to go back, but he couldn't say it. The room became quiet again.

in the living room.

Lin Qingqing stared at the bedroom door and waited for a long time. There was no sound from inside, and she felt a little annoyed.

She stood up and was about to knock on the door, but she heard a faint sound coming from the room, which made her bite her lip and feel even more depressed.

After hesitating for a moment, Lin Qingqing took a deep breath, and finally did not knock on the door. Instead, she turned on the TV, curled up on the sofa, and randomly found a channel to watch.

Lin Qingqing didn't care what program was playing on the screen. She just felt like a huge stone was pressing on her heart, making it hard for her to breathe.

Time slipped away quietly. It was still a gray and rainy day outside, and the light in the house was dim, as if it was already evening. At this time, Zhou Xiaobai was still sleeping peacefully, and He Yuzhu was quietly guarding her side.

After a long time, Zhou Xiaobai gradually woke up, feeling the warm embrace of the person next to him. An indescribable sweetness filled his heart, just like a kitten, rubbing gently in his arms.

"Awake?" He Yuzhu asked gently, his hand gently stroking her back.

"Hmm..." Zhou Xiaobai snuggled tightly in his arms and responded in a low but emotional voice.

"Are you hungry?" He Yuzhu asked with concern.

"kind of......"

Zhou Xiaobai's cheeks instantly turned red. Thinking of the deeper meaning behind his words, she quickly added, "But that's not what I meant..."

Actually, He Yuzhu didn't have any other thoughts when he said this. After hearing Zhou Xiaobai's innocent words, he suddenly felt that the room became warmer.

"Let's go take a shower together first, and then I'll make you whatever you want to eat."

As he said that, he picked her up and walked towards the bathroom. Zhou Xiaobai hugged him shyly, her heart beating as violently as a drum.

Even though the two of them were very close, this was the first time they had ever bathed together.

Zhou Xiaobai was shy and nervous, and wanted to suggest that they wash up separately, but he swallowed the words back when they reached his lips - this was a rare opportunity for them to meet, and he didn't want to be separated for even a second.

When they finished their bath, the sky was completely dark.

The light in the bedroom illuminated everything. He Yuzhu picked up the hair dryer and carefully dried Zhou Xiaobai's long hair. Every touch made Zhou Xiaobai feel extremely happy, and she wished that time could be frozen at this moment.

However, happiness is also mixed with a touch of sadness: reunion is always short and separation is just around the corner.

I didn't even dare to ask, for fear of knowing the exact date of separation and how much time we had left to spend together.

"Stop imagining things."

After drying her hair, He Yuzhu turned off the hair dryer and gently stroked her neck and said.

He knew her concerns and had mentioned earlier that she didn't want to leave.
