When they met again, he recognized her at a glance. On the surface, he remained still, but secretly, he had already fixed his gaze on her.
Zhang Moyan never expected the man she saved three y...
There was no steak, and there weren't many vegetables in the house today. The only non-starchy foods in Zhang Moyan's refrigerator were eggs and shrimp cakes. Xiao Wa watched Zhang Moyan put four eggs in water and put shrimp cakes in the microwave to thaw, and tears welled up in his eyes.
"I'll bake two more small pizzas for you later, but they're frozen semi-finished products, so they won't taste as good as the ones sold at the pizza shop." Zhang Moyan reassured Xiaowa.
Xiao Wa immediately smiled as if he had been relieved. "It's okay, it's okay. I'm just thankful to have a staple food. I'm not picky. Thank you for your hard work, sister-in-law. Do you want some help? I'll help you!"
"No need, these are simple things that will be ready in a moment. Go sit in the living room!" Zhang Moyan was petrified by his repeated calls of "sister-in-law." She clutched the shrimp cake packaging that she was about to throw away, glanced at Xiao Xingyu who was reclining on the sofa in the living room playing mobile games, and lowered her voice to Xiao Wa earnestly, "Xiao Wa, can you still call me Sister Moyan from now on?"
"Oh, I understand," Xiao Wa nodded repeatedly, understanding you very well. "But sister-in-law, isn't this going to happen sooner or later? There's really no need to focus on the marriage certificate. I call you sister-in-law because, on the one hand, I really respect you as my sister-in-law, and on the other hand, it makes my brother Yu happy!"
Zhang Moyan looked at Xiaowa's happy and complacent face and was speechless.
Does he understand?
What does he understand?
Xiao Wa walked from the kitchen to the living room, looking back every step of the way. He found a small spot next to Xiao Xingyu's legs and sat down. He sighed with deep emotion: "What kind of family can raise such a gentle girl... It's wonderful!"
Xiao Xingyu stopped pointing at him, looked up from the back of the sofa towards the kitchen, then turned back and gave Wah a serious lecture: "There's nothing good about this. There's a saying that goes, 'A person's stature is expanded by suffering, and gentleness is gained by being sensible.' People like him have all suffered."
Xiao Wa nodded in agreement. Just as he was about to say, "My brother really cares about his sister-in-law," Xiao Xingyu said thoughtfully, "He's just quite stubborn."
Xiaowa: ...
He went back and took a good look at his sister-in-law.
Xiao Xingyu lazily reclined on the sofa, playing with his phone, his slender figure taking up two-thirds of the space. Xiao Wa, after all, was visiting his sister-in-law's house for the first time, so he wasn't quite so at ease. He felt like a primary school student getting a free meal at his teacher's house, nervous yet excited. He sat bolt upright on the sofa, not daring to act rashly, his gaze scanning the room.
He thought about being the first one among his group of brothers to visit his sister-in-law's little house, and he couldn't hide his excitement. The more he thought about it, the more excited he became. As soon as he saw Zhang Moyan coming out of the kitchen with a plate, he immediately flattered her: "Sister-in-law, your house is decorated very beautifully. How do you say that word..." He scratched his head and suddenly snapped his fingers, "Small but beautiful! It's like a white-collar bachelor apartment. It's very comfortable to live alone..."
He was halfway through his words when Xiao Xingyu glanced at him from above the phone with her graceful eyes, and Xiaowa's voice stopped as if it was strangled.
"It's not bad." Zhang Moyan obviously saw the murderous look in Xiao Xingyu's eyes and didn't know how to respond for a moment, so she called Xiao Wa, "Xiao Wa, your pizza is ready. Come over and try it. I think it looks pretty good."
Little Wa ran over happily, picked up a piece of pizza without washing his hands and took a big bite, cheering as he ate.
Xiao Xingyu also lazily walked to the dining table. He rested his sleek arms on the table and admired the pizza that Zhang Moyan brought out. "So fast?"
"Yes," Zhang Moyan said, "I bought the semi-finished product from the livestream. I just fry it in the air fryer for 7 minutes. It's my first time buying it, and I didn't expect it to be so fragrant. Do you want to try some?"
Xiao Wa blinked and stared at Xiao Xingyu. You know, no one ever dared to persuade his brother Yu to eat staple food after 9 o'clock in the evening! It's over. I'm afraid that the relationship between his sister-in-law and brother Yu will be cracked because of this——
Then he saw his brother Yu nodded, slowly went to the kitchen to wash his hands, and came over to take a piece of pizza that his sister-in-law handed to him with a flat spatula.
Xiaowa was shocked: "They say married men tend to gain weight, and I'm afraid Brother Yu will be no exception in the future! What a pity, a generation of male idol...
"Xiao Wa?" Zhang Moyan looked at Xiao Wa strangely, as he had been motionless for a long time.
Xiao Xingyu also turned his head: "What are you doing?"
Xiao Wa broke his gaze and chuckled, "Nothing, I just think a man still needs a wife to live a good life, don't you think, Brother Yu?"
Xiao Xingyu laughed in surprise, patting Xiaowa on the shoulder and praising him: "Xiaowa, you're great. You've grown up and can now consider such mature issues! Well, who says not?"
He was talking to Xiao Wa, but his eyes were fixed on Zhang Moyan. Zhang Moyan's ears suddenly turned red as if blood was about to drip out. She turned around and fled to the kitchen to continue preparing frozen food.
Xiao Wa was greatly encouraged by this reward, and he knew more and more what he should do. So when the boiled eggs and fried shrimp cakes were served, he immediately became very determined to let the Rain God taste the shrimp cakes, which was a delicacy on earth. Without saying anything, he put two shrimp cakes in his pocket and went back to 302.
When he left, he specifically asked, "Brother Yu, since you're sleeping with your sister-in-law today, can you let me sleep on the floor? I really can't stand falling off the sofa again!"
Zhang Moyan almost choked to death on the air and blurted out: "He doesn't sleep here!"
Xiao Wa said "Oh" in disappointment and looked at his brother Yu sadly before leaving.
Xiao Xingyu pinched the rim of the glass water cup, smiling without saying a word.
"Why don't you buy a bed?" Zhang Moyan closed the door to avoid any intrusion, came over and sat across from Xiao Xingyu and asked seriously, "How can you be so compromising on the floor? Have you always lived like this?"
Xiao Xingyu peeled the eggs intently. "I bought them. I had them custom-made in Germany about twenty days ago. They're still at sea, though. If there are no problems, they should pass through the Strait of Gibraltar today."
Zhang Moyan's face was blank for a moment. What the hell?!
"And mine isn't just an ordinary floor mat," Xiao Xingyu said calmly, "It's said to be the same style as the Japanese Emperor's."
Zhang Moyan didn't know what expression to make.
"Do you think this is a good idea?"
Zhang Moyan asked the question without further ado, and both of them knew that she was asking about Xiao Xingyu moving in to live next door.
Xiao Xingyu slowly dipped the peeled eggs into the soy sauce dish, raised his eyes and looked directly at Zhang Moyan, and summed it up in one word.
“It may not be good, but it may not be bad either.”
Zhang Moyan froze. The light words made her feel as if the strings of her will were plucked forcefully.
After a while, she gathered her strength and said, "Xiao..."
After he said a word, Xiao Xingyu's handsome eyebrows raised warningly.
Zhang Moyan immediately remembered Xiao Xingyu’s words, “Call me Teacher Xiao again and I’ll kiss you once.”
Xiao Xingyu watched the woman in front of him slowly close her soft lips. He was happy that his warning was effective, but when he saw the woman cheer up again, she said:
"Mr. Xiao."
