Xu Moyan felt that these words were contradictory, but it was obvious that Wei Zilin was trying to comfort her. This made her feel very warm.
"If you treat me with a table of sumptuous food every time I go, you're treating me like an outsider. Actually, you don't have to be so formal with me. I don't treat you like an outsider. Maybe you can feed me the way you feed Zheng Yuntong normally. " Wei Zilin's words made Xu Moyan want to laugh. She couldn't match Wei Zilin and Zheng Yuntong together.
But Zheng Yuntong was indeed very easy to feed. She would say anything was delicious. Maybe it was because her mood was different and her target was different. She valued Wei Zilin too much and couldn't do the same.
But when Wei Zilin said he didn't treat her like an outsider, it made her heart flutter. She couldn't stay calm. She thought that he definitely didn't mean anything else and was just treating her like a friend, but her heart still couldn't help but beat wildly. She was very excited.
Wei Zilin paused. Seeing that she had relaxed a lot, his voice became low and gentle. "We just eat casually at home. It's just the two of us, so we don't eat much. Isn't that how we usually live? We eat whatever we have at home. We don't have to rack our brains to make a table full of sumptuous food every day. And, as long as it's made by you, I like it. "
Xu Moyan didn't say anything. It wasn't that she didn't know what to say, but that she couldn't say it. Wei Zilin's words made her face turn red.
Listening to him, it was as if … as if they were already a couple. He spoke so intimately and said the word 'home' so naturally. It was as if they were already living together and were an old married couple. The food they ate at home was the most ordinary home-cooked dishes. It wasn't extravagant or sumptuous. Two people, two to three dishes. It was simple.
Just like how everyone's life was like a trickling stream, like boiling warm water. It was actually very ordinary and not every day was a Manchu Han Imperial Feast.
She told herself again and again that Wei Zilin didn't do it on purpose. He didn't mean anything else. It was as simple as the words said. Because he treated her as a friend, he didn't want her to treat him like an outsider.
But telling herself that was useless. It couldn't stop her from spreading her four-dimensional thoughts to a deeper level.
Xu Moyan was very conflicted. She really wanted to tell Wei Zilin not to always say these things that would cause her to misunderstand. Her idol didn't have such intentions, but his every move and every casual word was extremely flirtatious in the eyes of his fangirls.
Wei Zilin's words might not have been a problem if it had been said to someone else, but it just had to be said to his little fan. She really had no resistance at all.
But she couldn't bear to say it clearly. Even if she held on to that tiny bit of fantasy, she was still very happy just to hear her own fantasies. It was like a drug that satisfied her illusory spiritual world. In fact, it did not do her any good, but she was addicted to it and could not get rid of it. As she listened to his words, she fantasized a little in her heart and was satisfied.
Although he didn't get a reply from Xu Moyan, Wei Zilin still glanced at Xu Moyan, who was quietly lowering her head. Seeing that her face was red, he didn't disturb her. Smiling all the way, he drove straight to her house.
Because it was a working day, there were not many guests in the residential area. The owners' cars were all parked in the underground parking lot, and there were not many cars on the ground. Therefore, this time, he successfully parked the car near the entrance of the unit.
He got out of the car and went back with Xu Moyan.
Because he had been here once, Wei Zilin was already familiar with the road. In the elevator, he met many neighbors in the same building. Xu Moyan and Zheng Yuntong were both very good girls, and they usually had a good relationship with the neighbors.
This kind of apartment building was different from the villas and duplexes in the other part of the residential area. Although the residents here had good economic conditions, there were business executives and government officials, but they weren't people of high status and power. Usually, they worked hard for a better life. They didn't put on airs and weren't cold to each other. They knew Xu Moyan and Zheng Yuntong and would usually chat with them when they met.
There were also some elderly people whose children bought a house here for them to live in. Usually, their children would send fruits and fresh food over, but the two of them couldn't finish it. Seeing that it wasn't easy for Xu Moyan and Zheng Yuntong to rent a house here, they would often send some things over. The relationship between the neighbors upstairs and downstairs was very good.
When the neighbors got off work and came into the elevator, they couldn't help but be stunned when they saw an unfamiliar man standing beside Xu Moyan. They probably thought that he was Xu Moyan's boyfriend and smiled at Xu Moyan and Wei Zilin with kindness. But they didn't ask in front of him, as it wasn't polite.
The more it was like this, the more depressed Xu Moyan felt. He didn't ask, and she couldn't explain. It was strange to suddenly ask.
Auntie Ge, who lived on the tenth floor, smiled at Wei Zilin. Her face was full of kindness, as if she was looking at her friend's daughter's boyfriend. Her gaze was so obvious that it was hard for Wei Zilin not to understand.
He smiled at Auntie Ge.
Auntie Ge smiled and nodded, as if she was very satisfied. Then, she said to Xu Moyan, "Xiao Xu, I heard that you and Xiao Zheng want to buy a house in the residential area?"
"Yes, we want to buy a house in the same residential area. That way, even if we don't rent a house together, we can still be together and see each other often." Xu Moyan nodded and said, "Yuntong is already looking at the houses one by one. She's considering if she should make a decision. The other party's offer is a bit high, so she wants to look at it again."
"Yes, the houses in our residential area are quite scarce, mainly because there aren't many places with such a good environment and a suitable price. And with fewer buildings, there are even fewer houses, "Auntie Ge said.
Xu Moyan nodded in agreement.
Auntie Ge said, "I met the wife of the family in the middle of the twelfth floor the day before yesterday. Didn't they just give birth to their second child? It just so happens that they have a son and a daughter. When the child grows up, it won't be good for them to live in a two-bedroom house. They've already booked a three-bedroom house in the newly built residential area behind us. This one is quite urgent to sell. If you can accept the price of a two-bedroom house, then talk to her. You can get rid of the intermediary's part of the money. You can also save a lot. "
Xu Moyan was quite tempted. Originally, she had planned to buy a one-bedroom house because of her own income. She had the down payment, but the pressure of paying the mortgage every month was still very big.
But now, her Weibo fans were growing quite fast, and the extra income every month was also increasing. Now, that extra income was completely enough to pay the mortgage. She thought that it wouldn't be easy to find a one-bedroom house. After all, there weren't many buildings in Sheng City, and there were only a few one-bedroom houses. Zheng Yuntong's income wasn't as high as hers, and she didn't want to fight with Zheng Yuntong for a one-bedroom house.
If she bought a two-bedroom house, it might be a little difficult, but it wasn't impossible.
"I think it's not bad. Okay, I'll talk to her later. Thank you, Auntie Ge, "Xu Moyan said with a smile.
"It's okay. Since you have this intention, if I meet her, I'll talk to her first," Auntie Ge said.
Xu Moyan had just said "okay" when Auntie Ge arrived and walked out of the elevator first.
Xu Moyan and Wei Zilin returned home. There was a heater in the house, and once they entered, they could feel the familiar warmth surrounding them.
Xu Moyan took off her scarf and hung it on the shelf beside the door. Then, she went to the shoe cabinet and took two pairs of slippers.
One of them was a man's pair, and it wasn't the disposable slippers from before. She bent down and placed it in front of Wei Zilin.
The house wasn't big, but it was very cozy. Wherever she was, there seemed to be a faint fragrance.
Xu Moyan stood up and raised her head. She happened to meet Wei Zilin's dark eyes that were looking at her. Wei Zilin acted as if nothing had happened. He was still looking at Xu Moyan and didn't shift his gaze away.
Xu Moyan, however, blushed a little guiltily. "I just bought them. They're brand new. No one has worn them before."
That time, after Wei Zilin and Shen Zongyi came over for a meal, Xu Moyan went to the supermarket and happened to see the men's slippers. She didn't know why, but she put them in the shopping cart.
She didn't expect that … there would be a day where they would be useful.
Wei Zilin smiled faintly. She didn't know why, but Xu Moyan felt that his gaze seemed to be filled with understanding. Her heart felt even more guilty.
Wei Zilin changed into the slippers. The size was just right. It was different from the disposable slippers he wore the last time. This time, it actually gave off a warm feeling.
Xu Moyan's heart was in a mess. She hurriedly shifted her gaze away. She picked up the bag on the chair a little anxiously. "I'll go pack up first. I'll come out to cook immediately."
"No need to rush." Wei Zilin smiled and said. In the quiet room, his warm, hot spring like voice sounded especially alluring. "I've been here before. I know how to take care of myself. You don't have to worry."
After saying that, he walked to the living room and turned on the television. He took the remote control and sat on the sofa to change the channel. He was really very casual and at ease. He didn't treat himself as an outsider.
It felt so good to have him sitting in the living room so freely.
Xu Moyan reluctantly looked at this warm scene again before turning to return to the bedroom.
She was wearing a white sweater. It wasn't very suitable for cooking. The oil and condiments would easily get on her clothes.
She found some home clothes and changed into them. Then, she quickly tied her hair up again before going to the kitchen to put on an apron. The rice had already been washed in the morning. She usually ate with Zheng Yuntong, so she already had experience in controlling the portion.
Because she had become Wei Zilin, she only slightly increased the original portion. She put it into the rice cooker to steam.
Then, she took out some ingredients from the fridge. The vegetables at home were very simple. She made some lettuce in sesame sauce and processed the cabbage. Then, she made boiled cabbage and used oil to enhance the taste. The process was very simple. It was done in just a few minutes. However, the taste was light and refreshing.
After processing the two vegetables, the kitchen door suddenly opened. Wei Zilin walked in.
He elegantly rolled up his sleeves and asked, "I'm here to help. If there's anything I can do, just tell me."
Xu Moyan was taking out the meat and ribs from the fridge. When she heard that, she froze nervously for a moment before saying, "No, it's actually very easy to prepare. The vegetables have already been cooked. As for the remaining meat, you don't need to prepare anything. You can just season it and make it."
