Siheyuan: Cooking journey

Kana replied stiffly, feeling anxious. The excuse she had made up earlier made her very worried. You know, it was Yu Li who picked up the boat that night, and she knew they could speak Chinese.

If Yu Li told Lou Xiao'e, things would be bad.

"@￥%%&..."

In order to cover up, Kana eagerly began to add explanations in Japanese.

Jingzi helped translate, "It's nice to meet you, thank you for your help that night. I don't speak Chinese very well yet, so I can only express myself briefly, please don't mind."

Although she felt strange because she had heard a fluent conversation that night, the other party was obviously not very proficient now. However, Yu Li did not think about it and said politely, "You're welcome."

"The office isn't completely ready yet, how about letting them rest over at my place first?"

"Don't bother, Yu Li," Lou Xiao'e interrupted, "You can let them go to my place first, and then please make arrangements to get a separate workspace this morning."

"Okay, I'll take care of it."

After Yu Li agreed, she asked Lou Xiao'e to bring the guests from Japan into the office.

Afterwards, she went to Qin Jingru to discuss work matters.

Seeing two unknown women getting out of the car and communicating in an incomprehensible language, Qin Jingru was not the only one who was very curious about this. Yu Haitang and You Fengxia were also very puzzled.

When Yu Li came over, Yu Haitang asked first: "Sister, who are those two ladies?"

"He is a new staff member sent by Japan. He will be working here for a long time..."

After briefly introducing the situation, Yu Li reminded: "Qin Jingru, take a few people over and clean up an empty room as soon as possible."

Beside her, You Fengxia's eyes were sparkling.

It turned out that those two were representatives from Japan.

She had thought it was a man before, and she didn't like Japanese people, so she didn't want to be a personal secretary.

Now that she knew it was a woman, You Fengxia felt moved again. This way she could work on the fourth floor and be closer to that man.

At the same time, You Fengxia couldn't help but laugh secretly, she should have guessed it earlier.

Since he had such a relationship with He Yuzhu, how could he let them work as secretaries for others?

This is enough to show that He Yuzhu cares very much about the relationship between them.

Thinking of this, You Fengxia's heart suddenly felt soft and sweet, and she really wanted to see him as soon as possible.

The midday sun shines through the window, sprinkling spots on the ground.

Yukiko Nakamori was lying on her side on the bed.

He Yuzhu looked at her silently for a while and realized that she was awake.

He didn't hug her tightly like he used to.

There was no longer the tenderness in her eyes.

It was as if all the intimacy in the past was just a dream.

Now that the dream is over, the two have become strangers.

He once thought that it would be troublesome if Yukiko Nakamori knew the truth.

So he had been reluctant to let her know, and he didn't know how it would end if she found out.

Those words I said this morning were just a test.

At this moment.

He Yuzhu understood that Yukiko Nakamori must have noticed something and had some guesses, or even confirmed something.

Otherwise, how could the attitude become so strange.

How she noticed and confirmed it no longer mattered.

The key is how to explain it and how to end it now.

Although I thought of many ways, I couldn't find a good solution.

He Yuzhu didn't want to continue to cover up the matter with one lie after another, so he took a deep breath and said softly: "Do you want to hear a story from me?"

"Once, a person's friend was kidnapped by a certain force. In order to save him, that person changed his identity and joined this organization."

"In order to gain trust and find out the location of his friend, he accepted the mission of kidnapping an innocent girl."

"He had no intention of harming anyone. His plan was to find out everything and send the girl home safe and sound."

"Besides giving her a bit of a shock, the girl's life should return to normal..."

This story is not long and can be told quickly.

But as soon as he opened his mouth, Nakamori Yukiko covered her ears with her hands and asked in a trembling voice:

"Can that man send the girl back immediately?"

He Yuzhu did not respond and did not know how to answer for a moment.

The room fell into silence for a long time.

After a long time, no one said a word.

He Yuzhu slowly stood up and began to put on his clothes.

Everyone has his or her own independent thoughts and the right to choose freely.

This cannot be forced or changed.

Even if he has extraordinary skills, can he control everything?

He Yuzhu knew that this was obviously impossible, and emotional changes could not influence other people's decisions.

Just like when Lou Xiao'e learned all this, even though her heart was still full of love and attachment to him, she still felt disappointed, painful and chose to leave.

This is her personality. She will never accept anything she disagrees with.

And that is the case now.

If Yukiko Nakamori really decides to leave, it is her freedom. This sense of loss is unbearable for her, but it is also unstoppable.

But there is one more very important point.

He Yuzhu understood even more clearly that even if they really left, it would not mean the end of the world. Small quarrels between lovers were actually very common.

When they are together, they love and enjoy each other, and separation does not mean that the feelings disappear.

Breaking up hurts both people.

As long as we give each other some time to calm down, there may be a chance to save the relationship later.

The real headache is how to find a new balance so that both sides can live in peace.

Thinking about these things.

He Yuzhu put on his clothes, glanced at Nakamori Yukiko again, and left without saying anything.

In the living room, Ye Ying was sitting on the sofa, killing time and watching TV programs boredly.

Hearing the door open, she turned around curiously.

He Yuzhu gave her a cold look.

Ye Ying immediately withdrew her gaze, pretended nothing had happened, and continued to stare at the TV.

Seeing this man's cold expression,

She roughly guessed that Yukiko Nakamori might have already told him clearly about the breakup.

At a time like this, He Yuzhu will definitely not be in a good mood, so it’s better not to make him unhappy.

He Yuzhu ignored her and went out.

"call...."

Ye Ying let out a long sigh and glanced at Yukiko Zhongmori's room.

I was very curious about how they talked.

However, since they broke up, Yukiko Nakamori probably isn't feeling any better.

Ye Ying didn't go over to disturb her and sighed silently.

It seems that I can no longer rely on this person to help me return to Japan.

However, she was not particularly worried about this.

Anyway, He Yuzhu also has business dealings with Japan, so it is actually very easy for him to take a boat back home.

After He Yuzhu left,

He immediately called the Guo family's office in Kyoto and inquired about the nearest flights to Japan.

I heard that there will be a direct flight to Japan the day after tomorrow.

Today there is only one flight to Hong Kong Island, which departs in the afternoon.

After hanging up the phone,

He bought some more food.

I knocked on the door and it opened quickly.

It was Ye Ying who opened the door. She was even more surprised to see He Yuzhu holding food in his hands.

What does this mean?

Why are you here to buy food?

Could it be that my previous thoughts were wrong and they didn't really break up?

If this is true, wouldn't I have to stay here for a year or two?

Ye Ying's mood became very bad, and she found it a little difficult to accept for a while. She even wanted to fabricate facts to make Yukiko Nakamori end the relationship quickly.

"Put these things away and get ready for dinner..."

He Yuzhu handed the lunch box to her directly and walked towards Yukiko Nakamori's room.

It's so infuriating that I have to do this job!

Ye Ying was unhappy, so she simply put the lunch box on the coffee table and left it alone.

I started to think about how to cope with this one and a half years. If it doesn't work, I can wait a few months and let my sister take over.

Anyway, it was my sister who agreed to the conditions, not me.

I readily agreed on behalf of my sister at that time because I knew that Yukiko Nakamori would be returning to Japan soon, so I wanted to take advantage of her.

Now if Yukiko Nakamori doesn't leave, it would be reasonable for me to fulfill the promise my sister made.

Thinking about it this way,

Ye Ying's mood instantly improved a lot, and she also smelled an appetite-stimulating fragrance.

"What's this smell? It smells nice..."

I couldn't help but smell it, and found that the fall just now caused the lunch box to open a little, and some juice flowed out.

“It seems quite delicious…”

Ye Ying quickly straightened it up. Some juice got on her hands, and the fragrance became stronger. She swallowed subconsciously and opened the box.

The food in the lunch box is bright in color, and the meat slices and green pepper strips complement each other, looking very nice.

Waves of tempting aroma waft out, increasing one's appetite.

Ye Ying couldn't help but pursed her lips, picked up a piece of meat and put it in her mouth.

This delicious taste that she had never tasted before gradually spread on the tip of her tongue.

At this moment, Ye Ying felt an indescribable happiness and joy in her heart.

There was a twinkle in her eyes.

It reminded her of her childhood, her mother and her sister.

Those days were carefree.

It is so satisfying to have a meal together as a family, look up at the blue sky, or just go shopping.

But one day, this simple happiness disappeared.

Instead, there is endless training.

After a long time, people become numb.

Many memories have become blurry.

The once most innocent and happy times seem to have become something out of reach.

It was not until this moment that she realized that feeling happy could be so simple.

Tears welled up in the corners of his eyes.

Ye Ying smiled very beautifully and felt very sweet in her heart.

in the room.

Yukiko Nakamori sat on the edge of the bed, looking out the window with a dazed look.

She seemed to see fields in the countryside, a warm cottage, some bleating lambs, a happily running puppy, and two people snuggling together.

The scene is so beautiful that it seems like a dream, making people feel that it only appears in dreams.

"Clean up...eat later..."

A familiar voice came from the living room, and then the door was pushed open.

Yukiko Nakamori's heart was pounding and she really wanted to turn back.

I originally thought that the farewell just now would be the last time we would meet.

I have decided to go to the embassy.

I never thought he would come back.

"You must be hungry, let's go eat..."

He Yuzhu spoke gently, walked to her side as if nothing had happened, and took her arm and walked out the door.

Yukiko Nakamori wanted to break free, but gave up after a flash of thought and obediently followed him out of the room.

in the living room.

Ye Ying sat there blankly.

The food was already served, but Ye Ying still didn't react.

He Yuzhu naturally knew what was wrong with her. The food that he had specially added some seasonings for Ye Ying had already been eaten up.

He brought back three lunch boxes, a bowl of white rice, and two dishes: one was twice-cooked pork specially cooked in the restaurant, and the other was a common dish of cabbage stewed with pork slices. The latter was prepared for Ye Ying without any additional seasoning.

"Sit down and eat."
