Jessica didn't leave.
Tina didn't leave either.
Not only did she not leave, but she also planned to stay in town for a few days. No one knew if she wanted to rest for a while or to study Affection.
Regardless, the two of them sent everyone off. One was calm, while the other was full of smiles. It was as if he was the happiest person in the world. In fact, he only had a small house that didn't have his name on the property certificate.
On the plane, Ma Choi Jun and the others kept sneaking glances at Xiao Zheng. Those who knew didn't think much of it. Those who didn't know might think that he kissed Sister Feng forcefully. Those eyes, those small expressions, Xiao Zheng could not bear it any longer. He wanted to pull out one of them and give them a good beating.
"Nothing happened in Beijing recently, right?" Xiao Zheng glanced at Ma Choi Jun.
"On the second night after you came, we also flew over. Who knows more than you? "Ma Choi Jun joked.
Xiao Zheng rolled his eyes. "Just say you don't know. Why are you talking so much?"
Siyan, who was sitting in the front row, covered her mouth and laughed. "Brother, your temper is getting worse. Don't tell me he got infected by Tina? "
"Looks like I can't eat at the same table with Boss anymore," Mega Gun said with a wooden expression.
"Why?" Monkey asked, echoing each other.
"I heard that eating is contagious too," Mega Gun said with a serious expression.
Ma Choi Jun couldn't take it anymore and laughed out loud. This caused the bystanders to grumble.
After nearly ten hours of flying, Xiao Zheng and the others finally landed. Ma Choi Jun and the others didn't drag Xiao Zheng out for barbecue and drinks. Instead, they took the bus home. Xiao Zheng, on the other hand, rushed home. He didn't waste even a second.
As soon as he arrived at the door, Xiao Zheng was a little nervous.
He imagined many scenarios of going home. For example, Lin Huayin prepared a grand party to welcome him home. Another example would be his mother-in-law, including Aunt Jing and Bai Wuxia.
But when he pushed the door open and was about to restrain his emotions, he found that although the lights in the living room were on, the lively scene he had imagined did not exist.
There was a pot soup and two sets of cutlery on the dining table. The sound of chopping came from the kitchen. The red wine was chilled in an ice bucket, and the soup pot was boiling, giving off white smoke. Xiao Zheng changed his shoes. His heart was filled with all sorts of emotions. Sour, sweet, bitter, spicy, and salty.
He quietly came to the kitchen door, poked his head in, and looked at Lin Huayin, who was preparing dinner. "I'm back."
His tone was calm and even slightly mischievous.
He knew what kind of woman Lin Huayin was. She didn't like to be overly emotional, nor was she good at showing her emotions. If she had to force her emotions to that point, even if Lin Huayin's heart would enjoy it. But his complexion would definitely not be too good.
So he learned from Lin Huayin and restrained his emotions. He tried hard to make it seem like he had not left, and it was just a normal return home from work.
"Okay." Lin Huayin raised her eyes slightly, and her tone was still calm. "Go wash your face. The food will be ready soon."
"Okay." Xiao Zheng closed the glass door and went straight to the bathroom. The rhythmic sound of chopping vegetables in the kitchen stopped abruptly. It was not until a few minutes later that it slowly began.
When he returned to the dining room, Lin Huayin had already filled the table with meat and vegetable dishes, and was pouring red wine into two goblets.
Xiao Zheng walked forward quickly and said with a smile, "I'll help you pour."
Lin Huayin did not refuse. She slowly sat on the chair and stared at Xiao Zheng calmly.
After pouring the wine, Xiao Zheng handed her a glass, and then sat back on the chair. He raised his glass with a smile and said, "Cheers."
"Cheers." Lin Huayin raised her glass and drank it with Xiao Zheng.
After drinking, the two of them began to put the dishes into the hot pot. Lin Huayin was as quiet as ever, and Xiao Zheng was not as talkative as before. The two of them ate while putting the dishes into the pot. Xiao Zheng was sweating profusely, and Lin Huayin did not eat much. But compared with her appetite in the past, she was already going all out.
During this period of time, she had not eaten well or slept well for a day. She was also facing great pressure at work. She did not know how she got through it, just like she did not know how Xiao Zheng got through it. She knew that she must be able to handle it, just like she knew that Xiao Zheng would be able to handle it.
She wouldn't complain to Xiao Zheng about her life or work not going well. Because she knew that Xiao Zheng would not share the dangers and hardships he had experienced with her.
This was not selfishness, nor was it leaving space. It was because they both knew that some things were always better left unsaid than spoken out.
When she confirmed the time that Xiao Zheng would be home, she left the company immediately to go shopping and buy ingredients. Then, she prepared from before the sky turned dark until nine o 'clock in the evening. She made every step of the hot pot perfectly. She knew that Xiao Zheng liked spicy food, but he did not like spicy food much, so she removed some of the spicy peppers and added some chilli peppers. She knew that Xiao Zheng liked to eat beef mince more than XO sauce, so when cooking the sauce, she accurately added the right amount of XO sauce to the beef mince to achieve a ratio of 3: 7.
Even the vegetable leaves, she knew that Xiao Zheng liked to eat green and did not like to eat yellow. But how could it be possible to buy vegetables in the supermarket that were all green? So, she picked the leaves piece by piece, removed the yellow, and left the green.
She had made all the preparations, just so that on the first day that Xiao Zheng returned home, she could eat a familiar, liked, and satisfied meal.
This was what she could do, and she would do it. She would not cry and make a scene like those in romantic idol dramas.
A quiet and tranquil life was what they pursued.
Xiao Zheng was very clear about this.
At the dining table, they sometimes talked about insignificant topics, and sometimes they told funny jokes. The bottle of red wine was soon finished, but Lin Huayin quickly brought a second bottle.
This was the most ridiculous thing she had done since she had waited bitterly for Xiao Zheng to return home.
She drank two more glasses of wine.
Xiao Zheng took the bottle, opened it, poured the wine, and then raised his glass to Lin Huayin's. "I haven't seen you for a few days, and your drinking capacity has increased."
Lin Huayin drank half a glass, looked up and said, "It's not bad."
Her answer was understated, but it was also the truth. Back then, she was a fierce person who could fight with Tina for 300 rounds. Although she was defeated by Tina in the end. But for Lin Huayin, who did not usually drink much, this was a proud achievement.
The two drank another bottle of wine and ate some dishes. Xiao Zheng suddenly looked at Lin Huayin with a faint smile and said playfully, "Aren't you afraid that I will take advantage of you when you drink too much?"
Lin Huayin looked up slightly, and her face was a little tipsy. "Aren't you afraid that you will spoil our fun?"
"Huh?" Xiao Zheng raised his eyebrows and said in surprise. "You are not hiding scissors under your pillow again, are you?"
Lin Huayin avoided the topic and asked, "Didn't you say that I am cold?"
"I was just joking. You don't have to take it seriously." Xiao Zheng grinned.
"I took it seriously." Lin Huayin pursed her lips. "And I took it seriously."
When Xiao Zheng heard this, there was no sign of fear or discouragement on his face. Instead, he smiled knowingly and thought to himself, "This woman has changed. Not only can she make jokes, but she can also tell dirty jokes. She has improved by leaps and bounds! "
