After washing the vegetables, he cut the ones that needed to be cut and put the ones that needed to be placed on a plate. He stir-fried the hot pot seasoning and poured it into the bone broth that Jiujiu had boiled on the stove early in the morning. He put the pot on the stove and brought the dishes to the table. The two watched the Spring Festival Gala while eating the hot pot.
While eating the hot pot that was even better than the restaurant's, Yan Zhen looked at Jiujiu's beautiful face and swore to himself that he would work hard to make a name for himself and let Jiujiu live a good life.
Although he didn't think that their lives were tough now, he didn't want Jiujiu to continue living such a life where she had to think about all kinds of things just to eat hot pot.
After the two finished eating the hot pot, Yan Zhen asked Jiujiu to sit down while he went to wash up. When everything was ready, Yan Zhen sat on the sofa and put his arm around Jiujiu's shoulder to watch the Spring Festival Gala together.
After the New Year's Eve, the two returned to their rooms to rest together.
There was no need to visit relatives on the first day of the New Year. Jiujiu's parents were gone. Even if she wanted to visit relatives, she might not know whose house to visit.
She had already gone to her uncle's house yesterday. Last night, she also told Zhang Mei that she wouldn't go to her house. After that, her father's relatives were basically gone.
As for her mother's side?
Zhang Li's parents were gone and no one came to visit her. She didn't want such relatives.
Therefore, Jiujiu didn't need to visit relatives. On the other hand, Yan Zhen's relatives had already cut ties with his father because of his gambling addiction. His mother was a prostitute, so his family didn't contact her for a long time because it was embarrassing. To be honest, Jiujiu and Yan Zhen were very compatible in some aspects. For example, the two of them were almost alone.
Since Jiujiu didn't need to tutor others during the New Year, Jiujiu and Yan Zhen rarely spent such a long time together since they got together.
Jiujiu and Yan Zhen watched TV together during the day. Sometimes, Jiujiu would read and do her homework while Yan Zhen would sit and watch. Sometimes, Yan Zhen would think about what to do in the future and Jiujiu would give him advice.
In the blink of an eye, it was time for school to start.
Yan Zhen had decided not to go to school. He had even found a job. After settling Jiujiu's affairs, he would go straight to work. Today was the last time he came to school. It was also the first time he sent Jiujiu to school.
In order to help Yan Zhen pack up, Jiujiu went to school early with Yan Zhen.
Since the two of them had arrived early, the registration process was exceptionally quick. However, who would have thought that when the two of them came out, they would coincidentally bump into Xiao Tian.
Unlike Jiujiu and Yan Zhen, who walked over on foot, Xiao Tian came in a car.
Her car was doing well last year. She even had a chauffeur now.
Xiao Tian came to school so early because she thought that if she came early and wandered around the school for a while, she might even meet Yan Zhen.
Once she thought of Yan Zhen's devilish face, Xiao Tian felt her little heart thumping non-stop.
Even on the way here, Xiao Tian was already thinking about how to talk to Yan Zhen if she met him. Or rather, she could use Jiujiu's incident as a trigger. On one hand, she could ask if Yan Zhen's people had taken care of Jiujiu. On the other hand, she could let Yan Zhen know that she was someone who had given him money before. This would deepen Yan Zhen's impression of her.
However, even though Xiao Tian had thought so much, she did not expect that instead of a surprise, she would receive such a huge shock when she arrived at school.
After she got out of the car, she met Yan Zhen. However, not only did she meet Yan Zhen, but she also met Jiujiu.
What made her even angrier was that Yan Zhen was guarding Jiujiu like a guard guarding a princess. Even Jiujiu's textbooks were carried by Yan Zhen.
Yan Zhen's face was still devilish. However, when he looked at Jiujiu, there was a faint smile on his face. It was like the first sun after the first snow had melted. It was so warm that it made people feel warm in their bones.
If the person Yan Zhen was looking at was herself, Xiao Tian might feel happy. However, the person Yan Zhen was looking at was Jiujiu. It would be strange if Xiao Tian was happy.
Xiao Tian almost could not help but walk in front of Jiujiu and Yan Zhen. She glared fiercely at Jiujiu. She looked at Yan Zhen and gritted her teeth as she asked, "Yan Zhen, how can you be like this? Didn't you promise me? How can you do this to me? "
If one did not know the consequences, they might have thought that Xiao Tian and Yan Zhen had some kind of emotional entanglement.
However, Jiujiu, who knew the cause and effect of this matter, remained silent. Then, she stepped aside and waited for Yan Zhen to solve it himself.
Yan Zhen was glad that he took Xiao Tian's money to look for Jiujiu, which led to him encountering Jiujiu.
However, even though it was said that money blinded people, this was only true for ordinary people. If it was Yan Zhen, he would not feel this way at all.
Even if Xiao Tian did not look for him, she would have looked for someone else. When he thought of the image of Jiujiu being bullied by Xiao Tian, Yan Zhen felt a fire burning in his chest. Moreover, during this period, Jiujiu had already told Yan Zhen everything about Xiao Tian, Zhang Yan, and herself.
Jiujiu and Yan Zhen, or rather, Yan Zhen and Jiujiu, the two of them were like a blank piece of paper. They almost showed each other their good and bad sides.
Therefore, Jiujiu did not hide her desire for revenge from Yan Zhen at all. Yan Zhen naturally expressed that he would definitely help Jiujiu.
Therefore, no matter how one looked at it, Yan Zhen hated Xiao Tian.
However, he did not expect that Xiao Tian would actually dare to look for him before he even went to look for her. Yan Zhen did not know what to say to Xiao Tian.
After thinking about it, he could only use "commendable courage" to describe Xiao Tian.
Yan Zhen was not a good man who would be gentle to women. Moreover, Xiao Tian was a vicious woman who could be so ruthless to her own cousin. Being gentle to women was harming oneself.
Therefore, Yan Zhen was not polite to Xiao Tian.
Didn't Xiao Tian say that Yan Zhen had wronged her? Yan Zhen might as well apologize to her to the end.
Yan Zhen used to be a hooligan. When his father got angry and hit his mother, he had seen it many times. Therefore, Yan Zhen was not a man who would not hit a woman.
Therefore, Yan Zhen did not wait for Xiao Tian to continue speaking. He raised his hand and slapped her. Before Xiao Tian could react, she was slapped twice by Yan Zhen.
After Yan Zhen was done slapping her, he looked up and smiled devilishly. "Since I'm already sorry, then I'll be sorry to the end."
After Yan Zhen finished speaking, he walked away.
His back was tall and straight like a poplar tree, but it made Xiao Tian feel a piercing chill in the warm afternoon.
Because she was slapped by Yan Zhen, Xiao Tian almost staggered back to school. When she arrived at school, Yan Zhen and Jiujiu were long gone.
