Siheyuan: Cooking journey

The light in the room was dim, and He Yuzhu's figure could be vaguely seen.

Ye Ying said directly: "What a coincidence, I have something to talk to you about. Nakamori Yukiko has arrived safely in the Red Country."

"My mission is complete, and I plan to return to Japan."

"Please help me find a boat to go back."

He Yuzhu frowned. He was not surprised that Ye Ying was leaving.

They had originally agreed that after sending Nakamori Yukiko to the Red Country, her work would be over. She had already exceeded the scope of the agreement and was very dedicated to her job by staying until now.

It’s just strange that Ye Ying’s attitude seems to be a little wrong.

He Yuzhu thought about it carefully and felt that he had never offended her, so he didn't understand why she was in such a bad mood.

But then again, Ye Ying is also his sister-in-law, and he needs her help. We are a family, so don't take it too seriously.

"It's easy to arrange a boat for you to go back..."

This sentence was obviously just a response.

He Yuzhu then said seriously: "Do you want to hear about your sister?"

"what's up?"

Ye Ying immediately asked: "What's wrong with her?"

"Nothing serious, she's fine."

He Yuzhu explained: "What I want to talk about is a certain promise between you two."

"Because she promised me something, to help me once in some situation."

"There is something that needs her help right now. She is in some trouble in Japan."

"I originally wanted you to complete this appointment on behalf of your sister Ye Shan, but I didn't expect you would be unhappy about it."

"In that case, I won't force it."

"How about this, I'll arrange a ship for you to return to Japan tomorrow morning."

"When you go back, tell her about this and ask her to fly to the Red Country."

This is of course nonsense.

He Yuzhu thought it would be okay to say this.

Even if Ye Ying didn't believe it, she would find out the truth after asking when she got back.

The only trouble is to let Yukiko Nakamori stay in the hotel for a few more days.

"Tell me what it is first?"

Ye Ying asked with a frown.

She didn't think this man would use his sister's promise to deceive others.

Anyway, I can go back and ask my sister and I'll find out the truth. This scam is too obvious.

Rather than this question, she was more curious about what kind of agreement her sister had reached with this man.

"It's simple. I just hope you can help me protect Yukiko Nakamori for a while longer."

He Yuzhu said without hesitation.

"Continue to protect Yukiko Nakamori?"

Ye Ying felt a little weird, her eyes flickered, and her tone was cold: "This request is not difficult, I can do it on behalf of my sister, but we have to make it clear that the so-called agreement before is invalid."

"Of course."

He Yuzhu did not refute.

If it's invalidated, he can just come up with a new excuse. Ye Shan won't expose him anyway.

"Another point……"

Ye Ying snorted secretly, and added: "After all, it is a protection mission, there must be a deadline."

"You can't let me protect Yukiko Nakamori in the Red Country all the time."

In fact, He Yuzhu really thought about this.

However, considering that doing so would definitely make her unhappy, she might not be sincere even if she reluctantly agreed.

He Yuzhu thought about it and decided to let her solve the problem.

"What are you going to do?"

"Half a year. If Yukiko Nakamori returns to Japan during this period, we will have a grudge against the Nakamori family and will not protect her. The mission will be automatically canceled."

Ye Ying pretended to think for a while and put forward a deadline.

Half a year is indeed a bit short.

He Yuzhu rubbed his brows, sighed and said: "My job is unstable, and I can't accompany Xuezi for a long time, so I want you to take care of her for a while."

"The six months you proposed is too short."

"You know, it cost me a lot to reach this agreement with Ye Shan."

"I think this is the best way. You go back and let Ye Shan replace you."

This request is simply speechless.

Ye Ying bit her lip tightly, feeling very angry. Isn't negotiation just about discussing the price? If you are not satisfied, you can discuss and adjust it. I didn't expect that they would just turn their faces and refuse to talk.

People who talk like this are really annoying. Ye Ying doesn't want to deal with him anymore, and even wants to punch him to wake him up.

"Then let's have a year..."

Ye Ying pretended to be very reluctant and said: "Sister definitely can't come again. It's too troublesome to run back and forth."

Anyway, Yukiko Nakamori has decided to return to Japan, so it doesn't matter if it's for life. But agreeing to protect her for life is too stupid, and no one would be willing to accept such a request.

In order to prevent the other party from doubting the following conditions, I had to propose them step by step.

"I still think Ye Shan is more suitable..."

He Yuzhu said quietly.

Ye Ying was angry and amused at the same time, and suddenly felt that the man in front of her was a little pitiful. He was clearly thinking about protecting the other person, but the person he wanted to protect had already lost interest in him.

"One and a half years..."

Ye Ying pretended to be embarrassed and thought for a while, then said coldly: "It can't be any longer, I don't want to stay here for too long. If you don't agree, then I will go back to Japan directly."

A year and a half is okay.

At most, we can find a reason to extend the period, or let Ye Shan take over.

He Yuzhu thought about it and nodded in agreement.

"It's settled then. Get ready. I'll come and take you to your new place at noon tomorrow."

"Um......"

Ye Ying responded, and then said: "It's still the same conditions I mentioned before."

"If Yukiko Nakamori returns to Japan during this period, I will not protect her and the mission will be over."

"it is good……"

He Yuzhu agreed verbally, but he felt unhappy in his heart.

Originally he didn't care too much about this condition, but Ye Ying mentioned it again and again, which made it seem a bit deliberate.

It has already been agreed that the protection period is one and a half years, so why add such an additional clause?

It doesn't seem necessary.

Ye Ying should know why Yukiko Nakamori came to the Red Country. It is impossible for her to return to Japan in the short term.

We clearly understand this point, so why do we have to add such an unnecessary condition?

After much thought, this condition will only take effect if Yukiko Nakamori really leaves.

Does Ye Ying mean that Yukiko Nakamori will eventually choose to go back?

Thinking of this, He Yuzhu couldn't help but look at Nakamori Yukiko's room. His heart was in a mess. He walked over, gently opened the door, and then gently closed it.

In the dim living room, Ye Ying shook her head helplessly.

This man specially found someone to protect Yukiko Nakamori, which shows how much he cares about her.

He only comes to see me once every three days. Maybe it’s not because he doesn’t care, but because he is just too busy.

If Yukiko Nakamori really left, he would definitely be very sad.

Thinking about how she had tricked the other party this time, Ye Ying felt a little guilty.

But on second thought, the feeling of guilt quickly disappeared.

Since even she can feel this feeling, then Yukiko Nakamori must also know it.

If the decision is changed because of this, then wouldn't Yukiko Nakamori really have to stay in the Red Country for a full year and a half?

Women's minds are changeable, so this possibility does exist.

Thinking of this, Ye Ying felt heavy-hearted and even wanted to ask clearly whether Yukiko Nakamori was going to cut off contact as she expected.

The lighting in the room is soft.

Yukiko Nakamori lay quietly on her side, so beautiful that one could not bear to disturb her.

He Yuzhu walked up slowly and hugged her gently.

His hand rested gently on the back of hers and his cheek rested against her hair.

Every breath was filled with the fragrance of hair, and the softness in his arms made him feel a little warm.

However, at this moment his heart was filled with bitterness, and he could not help but hug her tighter.

After a long time, she finally relaxed.

For a long time, apart from hugging her like this, He Yuzhu didn't know what else to do or what to say.

Time seemed to stand still at this moment, yet it also seemed to speed up many times.

Before I knew it, the night had quietly passed and the dawn had quietly arrived.

Ye Ying had already returned to her room to rest.

He Yuzhu just kept watching the sky gradually brighten.

“Can’t you stay?”

I want to explain, but I don't know where to start.

I want to say something, but I feel like I have nothing to say.

Complex emotions eventually converge into a simple hope.

After a while.

He Yuzhu said softly: "I found a very beautiful place."

"There is an idyllic countryside with changing seasons, a peaceful and harmonious environment, far away from the hustle and bustle."

“We can build a house that we design together.”

“The interior of the house can be decorated to your liking.”

"That place is not far away. I can visit you every day."

"We can greet the sunrise together, see off the sunset together, and stay with each other in the warm afternoon."

“We can have a piece of land and grow the vegetables and fruits we like, such as various radishes.”

"There are also cabbages and green vegetables, a lush green patch, a beautiful little vegetable garden."

"Do you like small animals? We can raise some chickens and ducks, as well as a sheep, a puppy, and a parrot that can learn to sing."

"If you love music, put a piano there, and we can play together, dance together, and ..."

As he was speaking, he suddenly stopped.

It seemed like a response, but also like silence.

I saw tears flashing in her eyes and crystal tears silently sliding down.

......

Early in the morning, two cars stopped one after another downstairs of the office building.

Yu Li got out of the car and waited for Lou Xiao'e to get out of another car.

Sometimes they would go together when they went to work, and every time Yu Li would wait for a while.

Similarly, Yu Haitang, Qin Jingru and You Fengxia were also standing there waiting.

"Sister E..."

Seeing Lou Xiao'e getting off the car, Yu Li walked over and greeted her with a smile.

"morning……"

Although she responded verbally, Lou Xiao'e was very annoyed.

This guy is so annoying. When I woke up last night, he was gone and he didn't leave any message.

The more I thought about it, the angrier I got. I was so furious that I wanted to see him right away and teach him a lesson.

Just at this moment, the rear door opened.

Sisi, Kana and Jingzi got off the car one after another.

Yu Li was stunned for a moment, then smiled and greeted.

"I didn't expect to see you in the company so soon."

"Hello……"
