"...Oh." Li Yang was stunned for a moment, then immediately went to the room to get a towel for Ji Huaizhi.

The towel was the one Ji Huaizhi always used. Li Yang took advantage of the fact that he was not at home to wash it and then dry it in the sun. It still had a smell of sunshine on it.

Bai Li looked at her hand frozen in mid-air, just smiled and put the handkerchief back.

She said to Ji Huaizhi, "I bought some breakfast that you like, come and have some." She then looked at Li Yang, "Miss Li, come along."

As she spoke, she walked to the table, sat down in the middle, and like a hostess, invited the two to come over and eat.

Li Yang was shocked by Bai Li's behavior.

Even if she is Ji Huaizhi's wife, she is only Ji Huaizhi's daughter-in-law in name. If she doesn't eat at home, does she have to squat at the door with a bowl in her hand?

Originally, she felt a little guilty towards Bai Li, but these guilts were almost gone after Bai Li's repeated attitude towards her.

Li Yang smiled and said nothing. She went to the kitchen and brought a small bowl of pickled cabbage she had made. "This is the pickled cabbage I made. It's just in time."

Mustard greens are abundant in Guangzhou in winter. Li Yang bought those with thick stems and few leaves, and used clean rice washing water. The pickled greens were golden, crisp and tender, and tasted slightly sweet.

Bai Li bought some porridge today, which would be best washed down with some pickled cabbage.

Unexpectedly, as soon as Li Yang put the pickles on the table, Bai Li pinched her nose, took the pickles aside, and said to Li Yang, "Miss Li, you don't know that these pickles have the highest nitrite content. Eating them is very bad for your health." She pushed the shrimp dumplings she bought in front of Ji Huaizhi and said with a smile, "It's better to have something light for breakfast."

Li Yang watched Bai Li talking as she served porridge to Ji Huaizhi with her raised index finger. The scene was eye-catching no matter how she looked at it.

Look down on her sauerkraut?

What about nitrite?

This time, Li Yang didn't try to please someone else. Just as he was about to take the pickled cabbage back for himself, a big, bony hand brought it to him.

Ji Huaizhi said calmly, "Just leave it here. I love it." He set the table for Li Yang, "This is the pickled cabbage you said you wanted to pickle. It looks good."

Ji Huaizhi's defense made Li Yang curl his lips: "Yes, that's what I said at that time."

Bai Li put on an aggrieved expression: "Huaizhi, I'm just..."

Ji Huaizhi seemed to have not noticed her hesitant grievances and said calmly, "If you like to eat something, you can tell Li Yang. She is kind and hospitable and will try her best to satisfy you.

Or, it’s the same if you buy it outside.”

Ji Huaizhi's clever move made Bai Li's face turn pale.

He is protecting Li Yang.

She forced a smile and said, "I understand." She looked at Li Yang again and said, "I have some living habits that I haven't changed for the time being. I hope Miss Li doesn't mind."

It was just a light and airy remark, without any sincerity in her apology, but Li Yang knew that this was extremely rare for the proud Bai Li.

Ji Huaizhi spoke for her, so there was no need for her to keep dwelling on this matter. She smiled and said, "It's okay. I'm sorry for not hosting you well enough."

In one sentence, he easily took back the initiative.

There was a square table with one side against the wall. Bai Li took the seat in the middle. Li Yang didn't mind and sat down opposite Ji Huaizhi. He picked up a bowl of white porridge, took a sip, and ate a small mouthful of pickled cabbage. It was sweet and sour and very appetizing.

Ji Huaizhi also picked up a piece of pickled cabbage with chopsticks, put it in his mouth, and swallowed it along with the white porridge.

Only Bai Li stared at the sauerkraut in front of her as if there was something scary on it, and felt very disgusted.

After the three of them finished their breakfast, Ji Huaizhi cleared the dishes and went to wash them as usual.

Seeing this, Bai Li exclaimed, "Ah!" "Huaizhi, how can you wash the dishes?" Then she stepped forward to grab the dishes and chopsticks from his hands.

Ji Huaizhi dodged and said, "It's always like this at home."

Li Yang secretly clicked his tongue at Bai Li's behavior and reached out to Ji Huaizhi, "Let me do it."

Ji Huaizhi lowered his eyelashes, glanced at her, and signaled her not to make trouble: "You take a rest, I'll do it."

Bai Li was so angry when she saw the two of them like this that she said to Li Yang, "Miss Li, Huaizhi is a man, and he naturally has his own place. How could you let him wash the dishes?"

Li Yang resisted the urge to roll his eyes and spread his hands: "No way, he's happy with it."

Who made her stab her again, as if no one would be the same.

Bai Li: "You..."

Ji Huaizhi's eyebrows darkened: "Li Yang, Bai Li is a guest, you should talk to her."

After saying that, he ignored the two of them and went to the kitchen.

Li Yang suppressed his laughter and said to Bai Li, "Miss Bai, can we chat?"

Bai Li's face paled again, and it seemed even more transparent than before. She glanced at Li Yang with a complicated expression and said, "I'm afraid Miss Li and I won't get along. Let's forget it."

Li Yang was happy and relaxed: "Okay, I just think so."

Bai Li: “…”

Ji Huaizhi came out of the kitchen after cleaning up. He didn't seem surprised to see Li Yang and Bai Li sitting on either side. He wiped his hands and said to Li Yang, "Didn't I hear you say yesterday that you still haven't bought any New Year's gifts? Do you want me to go with you?"

Before Li Yang could say anything, Bai Li said, "How about I go with you, Miss Li? You just got back, so you must have a lot of things to do." She pulled Li Yang's hand affectionately, "Miss Bai, do you mind taking me for a walk?"

Li Yang smiled and said, "Sorry, I don't plan to go shopping for the time being."

Bai Li thought she would be too embarrassed to refuse? She was mistaken.
