Bai Lu's principle is that whether others offer help or she asks for help, as long as the help is timely and effective, it is a favor.
The principle of Bailu is to repay kindness with kindness and avenge wrongs.
Xiao Cheng's principle is that if others want to help, that's their business and has nothing to do with him.
No matter how big the matter is, he will not acknowledge the "favor" unless he speaks first.
Even matters of life and death are the same.
It's not a matter of right or wrong, but rather a matter of indifference, aloofness, and disdain.
In Bai Lu's past life memories, Xiao Cheng was just like that; his views differed from hers, and she knew that.
But she also has her own principles and bottom line.
She knows in her heart what to do, and she won't lose herself just because she's in a relationship.
That's why she wanted to invite Lin Jinfan to dinner with Xiao Cheng, to openly and legitimately repay the favor.
Instead of inviting Lin Jinfan to dinner alone in private, which might cause misunderstandings.
Bai Lu believed that Xiao Cheng understood this principle as well.
But every time he encountered Lin Jinfan's matter, it was like lighting a powder keg, blowing his brain to smithereens.
My ability to think rationally and clearly has been completely destroyed.
As Xiao Cheng looked into the girl's bright and clear eyes, his mind, which had been dominated by anger, gradually cleared.
Her clear, water-like gaze cleansed away the gloom that had clouded his eyes, the darkness that had enveloped his heart, and the anxiety that had gripped his mind.
He then realized that he understood her better than he understood himself.
The significance of her doing this is that she is fulfilling her promise to... treat each other with honesty.
The woman he loved was not a puppet who blindly obeyed, but Bai Lu, who had the ability to think independently, to experience joy, anger, sorrow, and happiness, and who would laugh when she was happy and stir-fry chili peppers when she was angry.
The complete White Dew.
Xiao Cheng pulled her into his arms, tightening his embrace and holding her close. He rested his head on her shoulder and buried his face in the crook of her neck, letting her breath envelop him.
"Lulu..."
Bai Lu felt his steady and powerful heartbeat, and his faint, cool, and calm aura, and knew that her rational and clear-headed boss had returned.
He decisively suggested, "How about we treat Lin Jinfan to dinner tomorrow?"
Xiao Cheng suddenly looked up, his cold eyes narrowing as he stared at her: "Are you planning a rebellion?"
Bailu: "Haven't I made enough?"
Xiao Cheng: "..."
The teeth marks on my fingers are still there, the pain is still clear, penetrating my limbs and bones, and seeping into my heart.
A blatant provocation!
"We'll talk about this later," he said coldly.
"Why later? Wouldn't it be faster tomorrow?" Bai Lu thought a quick victory was the best option.
After hearing this, Xiao Cheng grabbed her chin and said coldly, "Are you trying to rebel?"
Why is it this sentence again?
However, he was serious!
Bai Lu's mouth was still sore; if she answered like that again, she would definitely become seriously injured.
Let's be pragmatic and see who can adapt to the times.
"I think it would be good to treat Lin Jinfan to a meal at the school cafeteria. The food there is definitely not bad. As long as I order all the good dishes, hmm..."
They'll shut you up at the drop of a hat!
Can't we even have a pleasant conversation anymore?!
Xiao Cheng said no, he wanted her to understand clearly the consequences of disobeying him.
Let's see if she dares to rebel again!
As for Lin Jinfan, he'll be waiting to attend the wedding!
...
First floor lobby.
Ah Wen, Ah Dai, and their brothers and sisters had all gotten ready and gathered together to wait for their eldest brother and sister-in-law.
From nervousness, excitement, and anticipation, to blank staring intently at the elevator doors as they open and close again.
Staring at the clock on the wall, the time went from 9:30 to 9:31, 9:32, 9:33, the second hand round and round and round...
The minute hand ticks away, tick-tock...
Why haven't my older brother and sister-in-law come down yet? Did they forget the meeting time?
Or is she asleep?
"bite!"
I don't know how many times the elevator doors have opened.
The bored and uninterested crowd in the lobby glanced over as usual, and their eyes lit up as a beautiful man and woman gracefully stepped out of the elevator.
"Brother Cheng!"
"Sister-in-law!"
You're finally hungry!
His complexion finally wasn't as bad as before.
The most obvious example is Cheng Ge. His incredibly handsome face was just now threatening a storm, looking like he was about to devour someone. Even flies dared not get within a hundred meters of him.
She had returned to her usual cool and aloof demeanor, though there were gentle glances, but not directed at them.
Yes, it's my sister-in-law.
Bai Lu was a little embarrassed to be late. After quickly greeting everyone, she led them to the food stalls across the street. To be honest, she was also very hungry.
But at this time, the restaurant is already closed, but there are plenty of delicious food options at the street food stalls.
Garlic ribs, braised pork, stir-fried pork kidneys, grilled fish, hot and sour shredded potatoes, honey-glazed char siu, sweet and sour pork, stir-fried beef noodles, salted bone congee, boat congee...
If you don't like porridge, you can also order rice; there's fried rice and regular rice.
All kinds of delicious food are available.
Bai Lu ordered all the local specialties.
Then pass the menu down so the girls and boys can add whatever they want to eat.
You can also order drinks and beer.
Xiao Cheng tacitly agreed.
He didn't touch the menu at all, and his hands were always busy, currently pouring boiling water to sterilize the tableware.
One portion for White Dew, and one portion for him.
They went around the menu and came back without adding anything.
Bai Lu looked at the stiff-looking boys and girls with amusement, and added five bottles of drinks and two dozen beers.
The brothers have to go to the factory tomorrow, so they can't drink too much; just a little is enough.
