Siheyuan: Cooking journey

He Yuzhu deliberately lowered his voice, trying to tease her.

"No…"

Lou Xiao'e's answer sounded a little irritable.

"Uh..."

He hadn't expected that kind of response and couldn't help but blink as he considered how to make an excuse.

Lou Xiao'e in the room was stunned for a moment. She had lived in this hotel for so long and had never seen a male waiter bring hot water.

"Could it be that that annoying man of his has returned?"

Her heartbeat quickened but she was still unsure because she felt that the voice of the previous sentence was not right.

"Sisi..."

She looked at her daughter who was concentrating on watching TV and asked:

"Do you think the voice that brought the water was Dad's?"

Xiao Sisi just glanced at her, stood up calmly and went back to her room.

Seeing this reaction, Lou Xiao'e's heart beat faster. She quickly stood up and walked to the door and opened it.

The familiar figure standing at the door.

The moment she saw the other person, Lou Xiao'e was surprised at first, then became angry, and wanted to hug him tightly and bite him - so she did it.

"You bad guy, why did you show up only now!"

He Yuzhu hugged her tightly, feeling warm and guilty at the same time. He had a thousand things to say but didn't know where to start.

The story continues with the sound of the door being slammed shut.

In the next room,

Xiao Sisi frowned and covered her ears with her hands.

The night deepened.

He Yuzhu kept making promises and speaking sweet words.

Lou Xiao'e snuggled in his arms and fell asleep happily.

I looked at the time and it was already past one o'clock.

He Yuzhu got up carefully, dressed, closed the door of the room quietly, walked through the living room in the dark, opened the door and walked out.

In the room on the other side.

Sisi's little ears moved, her eyebrows slightly frowned, and then she buried her head in reading.

He Yuzhu went to the bathroom to take a shower, reached out and smelled his arm, and after confirming that only the fresh smell of soap was left, he went to Kana's room.

Knock on the door as usual.

There was no response from inside.

He knocked a few more times and finally heard Keiko's cautious voice.

"who……"

"Your husband..."

The door opened and then quickly closed.

The night was no longer peaceful.

After a long, long time, everything returned to peace.

I looked at the watch and it was already past four o'clock.

He Yuzhu left quietly again and closed the door gently.

He returned to his room, took another quick shower, and changed into a new set of clothes.

Then go to Yukiko Nakamori's residence.

Knocked on her door.

I thought that it was so late and the other person should be sleeping soundly.

What he didn't expect was that there was a response in the house after he knocked lightly just once.

"who is it……"

It was a beautiful voice that sounded both strange and somehow familiar.

Is it Nightingale? He Yuzhu thought, and replied softly: "I, Wang Xuan..."

The door slowly opened.

There was no light on in the house. Only a faint light came in from the corridor outside, reflecting Ye Ying's beautiful face, adding a touch of dreaminess.

He Yuzhu couldn't help but admire her, and then asked in a low voice: "Excuse me, which room is Yukiko Nakamori in?"

"Over there." Ye Ying said in a cold tone, pointed the way for him, and then took a step back.

The living room is very dark.

He Yuzhu followed the direction she indicated, vaguely saw the target location, and walked towards it.

Ye Ying gently closed the door.

As the door was closed, the lights in the corridor were cut off and the whole house was immediately plunged into darkness.

She couldn't see anything for a while. After a while, she gradually adapted and could vaguely recognize the surrounding environment. She slowly moved to the sofa.

Lie down and cover yourself with bedding.

However, in this quiet night, some sounds were heard.

Ye Ying's body suddenly tensed up.

Growing up in Japan, she was familiar with certain things. At this moment, a man and a woman were in the same room, and she could roughly guess the reason.

"Asshole, coming here in the middle of the night..."

He muttered to himself and pulled the quilt over his head, trying to block out all interference from the outside world.

Time passed by minute by minute.

"Big bastard..."

Suddenly he sat up from the sofa, cursed again in annoyance, and walked into another room carrying the bedding.

If conditions permit, who doesn’t want to sleep comfortably in a bed?

I chose to rest in the living room just to ensure Yukiko Nakamori's safety.

In this strange land, it is always necessary to be cautious. It is also my duty to protect this lady, so it is understandable to spend the night on the sofa.

But now it seemed that things were different, and she was unwilling to continue to suffer there like she was on night shift.

Go back to your bedroom.

The door was gently opened, and the surroundings immediately returned to peace.

Ye Ying sighed softly, touched her hot face, cursed him as a bad guy in a low voice, and then lay down on the bed.

She had been on the boat for three consecutive days and had not had a good rest.

After taking a shower and having a full meal, I thought I could sleep until dawn.

Unexpectedly, I was woken up by an annoying person.

at this time.

Ye Ying wanted to sleep, but she felt inexplicably excited. She tossed and turned but couldn't fall asleep.

Thinking about the beauty of Yukiko Nakamori.

Think again about Wang Xuan’s ordinary appearance.

She felt that it was a good cabbage, but it was eaten by a pig.

She really couldn't understand whether Yukiko Nakamori had a problem with her brain. She actually gave up everything she had and ran to the Red Country for such a man.

It's just asking for trouble.

What do you mean come for love?

The more Ye Ying thought about it, the funnier it became. She even thought that Yukiko Nakamori was stupid and felt sorry for her.

She was sure that Wang Xuan was with Nakamori Yukiko only because he was attracted by her beauty.

If she wasn't pretty but an ugly woman, would she have come here specially in the middle of the night?

The answer is of course impossible.

However, these were just Ye Ying's own wild thoughts, and she had no intention of telling Yukiko Nakamori.

Seeing that Yukiko Nakamori seemed to be deeply in love, it would be useless to say anything, as it would only make me waste my time.

Now that I have met Wang Xuan, the escort mission is completed.

Ye Ying plans to find a way to go home tomorrow.

After I get back, I must find my sister and ask her how she knew Wang Xuan.

There was another thing that made her particularly curious.

The person named Kana should be the Kana we were familiar with before. Her grandfather once took away many cultural relics from the Red Country.

Ye Ying was very curious why Kana would choose such an inconvenient way to come to the Red Country by boat instead of flying directly.

There must be something fishy behind this behavior.

Could it be that the stolen cultural relics have not yet been shipped to Japan, but are hidden in the Red Country?

Kana came here this time just to look for these lost cultural relics?

Thinking about it this way, Ye Ying felt that it was very possible.

The other looted cultural relics were put on display in museums by the Japanese to show off their so-called glory.

However, this batch of missing cultural relics has never appeared in Japan.

At that time, there was war and these cultural relics could only be transported by the army. Therefore, there is a high probability that they fell into the hands of the military and have nothing to do with the Kana family.

Therefore, it is a good strategy to temporarily store these cultural relics in the Red Country and then find an opportunity to transfer them there.

Think of this.

Ye Ying felt heavy-hearted.

If this is true, then He Yuzhu must have been used as well.

She knew that Kana had been learning Go from He Yuzhu.

The so-called identity of the representative of the Japanese company must be one of the convenient conditions that Kana obtained by getting close to He Yuzhu.

Including this time taking a ship to the Red Country.

This kind of exploitation may have started from the day Kana started learning Go.

The purpose is to find an opportunity to return to the Red Country.

"We must find an opportunity to remind He Yuzhu..."

Before leaving, Ye Ying planned to meet He Yuzhu and tell him about this.

Although these are all speculations, there is no solid evidence.

But I would rather believe in the wrong thing than miss any possibility.

Ye Ying, who grew up in Japan, knows too well that some people there will do anything to achieve their goals.

Some extreme ideologies and militarists in Japan are simply insane.

A country that can mobilize tens of thousands of people to sell dignity around the world to accumulate wealth is both shameful and terrifying because they dare to do anything.

Especially good at using the beauty trap.

There is hardly any country that can send so many beauties to conduct espionage activities like Japan.

If you guess wrong, it's fine. But if you guess right and are not careful and vigilant and are taken advantage of by the other party, you will lose important cultural relics.

Ye Ying believed that with He Yuzhu's network of connections, as long as he paid a little attention, he would be able to find out Kana's true intention of coming to the Red Country.

The next morning.

in the office.

Qin Jingru looked dissatisfied and stared at You Fengxia with hostility. She had never seen such a shameless person since she was a child. Thinking of what happened last night, she was so angry that she wanted to scratch her face.

You Fengxia seemed to be completely unaware of Qin Jingru's gaze, humming a song to herself as she opened the office door. As the two walked out of the door one after the other, they saw Yu Haitang in the corridor.

All three of them were stunned for a moment.

Yu Haitang looked at them in confusion: "Why are you here?"

"I, we..."

Qin Jingru felt like she was caught red-handed and became incoherent for a moment. "Good morning, Sister Haitang. You're early too."

You Fengxia said with a smile, "Jingru and I happened to take the same bus here. Since it was still early, I helped clean a few offices."

"Yeah yeah."

Qin Jingru nodded desperately in agreement and said hurriedly, "We are planning to go to other offices to continue our work."

"So this is ah……"

Yu Haitang nodded indifferently, not thinking too much about it. She looked at You Fengxia and stretched and said, "Have you had breakfast? My sister was not here last night, so I stayed in her office overnight. I'm still hungry now. How about we go to the cafeteria to eat something together?"

"Sister Haitang, we have already had breakfast. Now we have to go to other offices to work. You can go and eat by yourself."

You Fengxia responded with a slight smile and pulled Qin Jingru straight towards Lou Xiao'e's office.
