"Since I'm still here these next couple of days, just tell me what you'd like to eat, and I'll make it for you if I can."

"Really? I can eat whatever I want?"

Zhu Qinghao was overjoyed, forgetting to eat the noodles in her bowl, her eyes sparkling as she gazed at Sheng Yi.

Looking at her expression, Sheng Yi's heart melted.

"I'll make whatever you want to eat, but only if it's something we have. If we don't have it, that's fine too, as long as we can buy it."

Sheng Yi had finally seen through her gluttonous nature, but in his opinion, it was just right, as he was worried about having nowhere to show off his excellent cooking skills.

Now, it's perfect timing. One of them is good at cooking, and the other loves to eat. They're a perfect match.

However, he only thought these words in his heart and did not say them out loud.

He thought he was in control, but in reality, his smiling eyes were full of doting and indulgence, which Zhu Qinghao saw without missing a beat.

Zhu Qinghao's heart skipped a beat. She stared blankly at the person in front of her and unconsciously called out.

"Brother Sheng Yi..."

"Hmm? You've already decided what you want to eat?"

Zhu Qinghao, who was about to blurt out the question, swallowed it back down after hearing his question.

"Oh, I have a thought, but I haven't fully thought it through yet. Let me think about it tonight, and I'll tell you later."

Sheng Yi sensed that she had something to say, but ultimately didn't say it.

However, he felt that since Zhu Qinghao was unwilling to talk about it, he should not ask. She would naturally tell him when she wanted to. Otherwise, it might backfire.

His guess was correct; unless Zhu Qinghao was drugged, no one could get the information out of her unless she was drugged.

"Okay, then tell me when you've thought it through."

"However, you'd better hurry, I might be leaving on the 3rd."

Zhu Qinghao was just about to happily agree to the previous statement when she suddenly heard him add this sentence, and she looked up in surprise.

"The 3rd? So soon? Didn't they say it would be around the 10th?"

It's already the evening of November 29th, which means there are only three or four days left before he leaves.

Zhu Qinghao couldn't quite describe her feelings, but there was a strange, sour, and swollen sensation that made her breathing heavy and her questions somewhat hurried.

Seeing her reaction, Sheng Yi suddenly began to doubt whether his decision had been made too hastily.

"Well, something suddenly came up that I need to take care of, so I have to leave a week early. But don't worry, it's not a big problem."

Zhu Qinghao didn't know what to say. After thinking for a long time, she felt that she had no right to say anything.

So she just sat there and nodded blankly, indicating that she understood.

Seeing her like this, Sheng Yi felt even more annoyed.

He increasingly doubted that he had made a wrong decision, but he also felt that if he didn't do those things, all the suffering Zhu Qinghao had endured would have been in vain.

But he never expected that leaving a week early would make Zhu Qinghao so upset.

To be honest, he didn't want to leave so soon. He was afraid that when he came back next time, Zhu Qinghao would be by someone else's side. He was afraid that if he left for half a year or even a year or two, Zhu Qinghao would be like a stranger to him again when he came back...

"Brother Sheng Yi, you—"

"Okay, okay, I..."
