When they came out after dinner, He Wan smiled and said to Zhou Ting'an, "Your teammates are all quite interesting."

Zhou Ting'an raised an eyebrow: "Interesting?" He didn't think so. Those guys were too vulgar and didn't deserve his pretty girl at all. In order to make He Wan disgusted with them, he told her a lot of embarrassing stories about them along the way.

He Wan found it even more interesting.

That evening, after closing the door, He Wan went into her private space and told Lao Yun that she had settled in.

Yun Shudai and Bai Muyin are traveling abroad. They came to a place famous for its coffee and brought back a lot for Lao He.

He Wan looked at all of this and said, "This is too much. I could drink this for the rest of my life."

“These are all very pure and taste exceptionally good. I got you some old-fashioned packaging today; it only has English, no address or contact information. You can take it out and sell it.”

"Yes, you're very thoughtful. What other good things do they have over there?"

"Handicrafts, leather goods, Mu Yin said he's going to take me to see a wholesaler tomorrow so I can buy some for you from him."

"Okay, don't go too far. Get us some things that sell well right now. You don't need to be busy collecting things for me over there. Just have fun."

"Don't worry, I definitely won't treat myself badly. How are things going with you and your godbrother?"

"It's great, they take excellent care of me."

"Be careful not to give yourself away."

He Wan didn't chat with Lao Yun for too long before they both left the space.

Before leaving, He Wan also took a few boxes of coffee with her.

I also grabbed a few packets of white sugar.

The next day, before dawn, Zhou Ting'an went out.

He Wan woke up when she heard the whistle outside, but fell asleep again after a short while, and she didn't know how much time had passed.

When she woke up again, it was already bright. When she went to the living room, she found two lunch boxes on the dining table and a note. It was a message from Zhou Ting'an, telling her to heat up her food before eating and to go downstairs if she got bored at home. The house key was placed on the shoe cabinet by the door.

He Wan took the note to the bathroom, brushing her teeth while reading it, a smile on her face, thinking to herself that Zhou Ting'an was quite a thoughtful older brother.

After having breakfast, He Wan went downstairs and took a walk around the family compound. She found several women taking care of their children and chatting.

Seeing an unfamiliar face suddenly appear in the yard, some of the women asked He Wan curiously.

He Wan said she was Battalion Commander Zhou's sister, and then without saying much, she went straight upstairs.

Take out your books and start studying.

Around noon, I got up to make lunch, not knowing if Zhou Ting'an would be back by then. But I still made enough for two people.

Rice, a dish of cured pork and cabbage, and a stir-fried potato dish.

When Zhou Ting'an returned, he was carrying two boxed lunches. After entering the room and seeing the fragrant food on the table, his eyes suddenly glazed over for a few seconds. When he saw He Wan, he immediately said, "I thought you hadn't cooked yet, so I went to the cafeteria and got two meals."

"Brother Zhou, I specially made your portion for lunch. I was worried you wouldn't come back. What's on the menu in the cafeteria today? It's okay if you can't finish it; it's winter now, it won't spoil."

"The cafeteria is serving potatoes and cabbage today too."

After opening their lunchboxes, they both laughed. Well, it looks like they'll be eating cabbage and potatoes all day.

However, He Wan's cooking skills are undeniably excellent. Zhou Ting'an ate the whole dish, soup and cabbage, of that stir-fried cured pork with cabbage: "Wanwan, your cooking skills are even better than Liang Nian's."

"It's alright. I love food, but it's troublesome to cook too much or too little when I'm cooking alone."

Zhou Ting'an smiled and said, "Me too. Luckily you came this year. I've set aside a holiday for New Year's Eve. Let's make dumplings and cook a few more dishes to have a proper family reunion."

"Okay, I'll arrange it."
