Xu Moyan was stunned for a moment. The first reaction in her mind was, why would she need Wei Zilin's help? She must be too embarrassed to look for him.
But she still agreed obediently, "Okay."
"What did you eat tonight?" Wei Zilin asked softly. It was as if his voice was stuck in his throat, drifting into her ears through the phone.
Because she was the only one at home, there was no television or video on. It was very quiet, and she could hear his voice clearly. Xu Moyan's voice wasn't loud either. It was clear and as Wei Zilin had said, very clean.
The two of them spoke softly, as if they were whispering. Unknowingly, they seemed especially close, but Xu Moyan still didn't realize it. She didn't know that when she was talking to Wei Zilin on the phone, her soft tone sounded like they were in love. It was as if she had drawn an invisible circle in the air, isolating the cold air outside. It formed a small space around her, emitting a pink aura, warm and sweet.
"Tonight, Yun Tong went on a date. I was at home alone, so I made some wontons, pork, mushroom, and corn stuffing. Once winter comes, I will prepare bone soup. I always have it at home, and as long as I'm at home, I will boil it and drink it. I used the bone soup to make wonton soup, adding some egg shreds, pickled mustard, and chopped spring onions. I added a few drops of sesame oil, two spoonfuls of vinegar, and some pepper. I always like to eat like this. "Xu Moyan explained in detail.
Wei Zilin seemed to be able to smell the fragrant aroma through the phone. Even after eating, he suddenly felt hungry and wanted to order takeout.
He couldn't help but laugh. "I really miss your cooking. I'm hungry again because of what you said. I want to eat wontons. But the ones sold outside definitely won't taste as good as the ones you cook. "
Xu Moyan almost had the urge to go to the kitchen and make a few more to send to Wei Zilin.
She looked at the time and seriously considered this possibility before saying, "It's too late now. It's not good for your stomach if you eat now, and it will cause indigestion. But if it's tomorrow when you're at work, the wonton skin will be burnt if I send it to you when it's cooked, and the taste will be greatly reduced. If it's raw, it won't be convenient for you to cook it in the office. What did you eat tonight? "
It was the home-cooked dishes cooked by the auntie at home. "Scrambled eggs with tomatoes, Moo shu pork, and sweet and sour fish. But it's a whole fish without slicing, and the sweet and sour sauce isn't as good as yours. "
Xu Moyan smiled. She suddenly felt that the saying 'to tie a man's heart, one must tie a man's stomach first' was not without reason.
At least, he approved of her cooking.
"The maid at home only knows how to cook," Wei Zilin said. You know I'm a very picky eater, I don't have much of an appetite every day. "Wei Zilin said.
The auntie was about to go back to rest when she passed by Wei Zilin's bedroom. When she heard these words, she covered her broken heart and left.
"Mo, you clearly," Moyan, "Wei, I said, you eat," Wei Moyan clearly said.
"If you don't mind, I can write down some recipes, including how to make your favorite sweet and sour sauce. You can take it back and let the auntie at home make it," Xu Moyan said after some thought.
"That's good. But even if the recipe is the same, the taste will be different if it's made by a different chef." Wei Zilin paused and said, "Shen Zongyi and Zheng Yuntong are going on a date tomorrow, and Zheng Yuntong won't be going back for dinner. Do you mind if I go to your house and treat me to a meal?"
He could consider not letting Shen Zongyi work overtime for the time being. As his right-hand man, he should support him since they were in love.
He was just that considerate.
He said it politely and even treated him to a meal, but Xu Moyan couldn't ask for more. Even though she was nervous, she still cherished the chance to be with him, whether it was alone or with other people beside her.
"Sure, it's not a reward. You said we're friends, so you don't have to be so polite. " Xu Moyan said with a smile, but her face was burning red. "You can come over anytime you want to eat. I welcome you anytime."
Wei Zilin smiled. He had some impure thoughts in his heart. Actually, he wanted to go over late at night, but he was afraid it would scare her.
"Then I'll pick you up at your office after work tomorrow," Wei Zilin said happily.
Xu Moyan was stunned. She thought that it would be very eye-catching if he picked her up from work, but she still nodded in agreement.
At this moment, the doorbell rang. Xu Moyan said, "Seems like Yuntong is back. She might not have brought her keys. I'll go open the door for her."
"I remember there's a peephole on your door. Make sure before you open the door. It's so late at night, and you're home alone. Safety first. "Wei Zilin didn't hide his concern.
"Okay." Xu Moyan nodded and walked to the door, still holding her phone.
"Then you go open the door. I'll hang up first. She just confirmed her relationship with Shen Zongyi today, so she probably has a lot to say to you. You talk to her, but don't talk too late. Sleep early, "Wei Zilin reminded her carefully.
She didn't know if it was an illusion, but she felt that Wei Zilin was reminding his girlfriend not to talk too late and to sleep early. His tone didn't seem like an outsider at all. On the contrary, there was a hint of intimacy.
No matter what, she was very happy.
"Okay, then sleep early too. Good night," Xu Moyan replied.
Wei Zilin chuckled warmly. "Good night."
Xu Moyan couldn't bear to hang up. There was no sound from Wei Zilin's side. Xu Moyan waited for a while, and just as she was about to hang up, she heard Wei Zilin's chuckle. "You haven't hung up yet?"
Xu Moyan's head started to burn. "You … you haven't hung up yet?"
"I wanted to wait for you to hang up." Wei Zilin chuckled. "I forgot where I read that the person who hangs up first will leave the other party cold, but the person who was hung up by the other party will feel very comfortable. So I wanted to wait for you to hang up first. "
"But I don't want to leave you cold," Xu Moyan said subconsciously.
After saying that, she felt embarrassed.
Wei Zilin didn't seem to notice, and his mood seemed to be even better than before. "Okay, then let's hang up together."
"Okay," Xu Moyan said softly. "Then I'll hang up first. You hang up too, okay?"
"Okay," Wei Zilin replied.
But in the end, he still waited for Xu Moyan to hang up before hanging up with a smile.
What he didn't say was that in a situation where there was no preparation, the person who hung up later might feel cold. But if there was a tacit understanding between them, and he had already made a decision in his heart, then waiting for her to hang up first would be like tolerating and pampering her, and his heart would be very satisfied.
After Xu Moyan hung up, she stood rooted to the ground, looking at her phone in a daze. Just now, the two of them had agreed to hang up at the same time, and no matter how she looked at it, they looked like a young couple passionately in love, without any rationality to speak of. Even Wei Zilin seemed to have lost his usual wisdom and calmness.
But, why would she have such a feeling?
The doorbell rang again, interrupting her daze.
Xu Moyan came back to her senses and hurried to the door, remembering Wei Zilin's instructions. She looked through the peephole and saw that it was Zheng Yuntong, carrying two big bags with both hands. It seemed like it wasn't that she didn't bring the keys, but that she couldn't free her hands to take the keys from the bags.
So Xu Moyan opened the door. There was a little pride in the letter, like a child who had listened to an adult and felt that she had done well. She had the urge to send a message to Wei Zilin, saying that she had done as he said.
After opening the door, Zheng Yuntong jumped in, her body still carrying the cold air outside. The cold wind blew in from outside. Xu Moyan shivered a little and hurriedly closed the door.
While Zheng Yuntong was changing her shoes, Xu Moyan quickly sent a WeChat message to Wei Zilin. "I followed your instructions and looked outside through the peephole. Yuntong is back, don't worry."
Almost immediately, Wei Zilin replied, "Okay."
Xu Moyan secretly smiled, closed WeChat, and then came back.
Zheng Yuntong had already changed into slippers. Her eyes were so bright that Xu Moyan suspected that she wouldn't be able to sleep tonight. Her face was still flushed with excitement and sweetness, obviously unrelated to the cold wind outside.
"Why did you suddenly bring back so many dolls?" Xu Moyan asked in surprise. "They were all given by Shen Zongyi? I really didn't expect him to be so … romantic? With his personality, he can also do such a girlish thing. "
"No, we went to eat, but after eating, we don't know what to do." Zheng Yuntong placed the dolls on the sofa and scratched her head embarrassedly. "You also know that I have no experience in love. I only rely on watching television, but there's basically nothing to learn from. When we went to the cinema in the mall, we realized that there were no movies worth watching, so I dragged him to play with the dolls. "
After Zheng Yuntong finished speaking, she looked at Xu Moyan with starry eyes. "Do you know? How is Shen Zongyi so good? He clearly hasn't played before. After listening to me explain how to play, he played twice and got the hang of it. Every time, he grabbed a big bag. It was only because the staff couldn't take it anymore and came to beg us to play something else that he stopped. I feel that he's very smart and good at everything. After understanding it, he can immediately get started. "
Zheng Yuntong looked at the girl in front of her who was completely in love, her face full of admiration for her boyfriend. She smiled and didn't say anything. She only listened to Zheng Yuntong speak, her face extremely bright. It could be seen that she was really happy.
As she spoke, Zheng Yuntong was the first to feel embarrassed. She sat cross-legged on the sofa with Xu Moyan face to face. She scratched her head and giggled foolishly.
"Looks like Lin Chu and I were too conservative previously. So you like Shen Zongyi so much." Xu Moyan smiled and teased. She poured a glass of water for Zheng Yuntong. "Drink some water first."
After saying so much, she was thirsty.
Zheng Yuntong took the water embarrassedly. She was really thirsty. She drank an entire glass in one go and let out a comfortable breath. Only then did she completely recover.
"He … is very good. And after being with him, I realized that he's even better than I thought. No matter what it is, he will first consider for me and think a lot for me. You know me, I'm usually impatient and insensitive. I don't consider many things thoroughly. But with him around, I'm not worried at all. And he doesn't force his thoughts on me. Don't look at how serious he is. No matter what thoughts he has, even if it's for my good, he won't do it presumptuously. Instead, he will discuss it with me first. If he feels that he has to do it, he will let me know first and be mentally prepared. He won't make a decision for me without saying anything. Anyway, he respects me a lot. "The better Shen Zongyi was, the more it seemed that there were many problems with Guan Zexi.
