(269) Lack of motivation for work



After thinking about random things for a while, Cheng Yaoyao stopped and went back to her room.

Cheng Yaoyao felt really tired. She had lost her phone, and now she didn't want to care about anything. She just wanted to get a good night's sleep.

Cheng Yaoyao lay down and fell asleep not long after.

Cheng Yaoyao slept very soundly.

When she woke up, it was already five o'clock in the afternoon.

Cheng Yaoyao never expected that she would sleep until this time.

After waking up, Cheng Yaoyao still felt a little uncomfortable all over.

However, it is much better than in the morning.

Cheng Yaoyao got up, washed her face, and went outside.

Just as Cheng Yaoyao arrived on the first floor, Zhang Ma returned with the groceries.

In the afternoon, Zhang Ma had some things to do, so she wasn't home.

Zhang Ma didn't know when Cheng Yaoyao returned.

Just then, as she entered the room, she was surprised to see Cheng Yaoyao.

The reason why Zhang Ma was surprised to see Cheng Yaoyao was because Cheng Yaoyao would never be at home at this time of day.

If Cheng Yaoyao has nothing else to do, she won't be back until at least seven o'clock.

It's still early today, why is Cheng Yaoyao back?

However, although Zhang Ma had some doubts, she didn't ask anything. Instead, she greeted Cheng Yaoyao and went to the kitchen to cook.

It's almost time. The others should be back in less than an hour. She needs to prepare all the dishes for dinner as soon as possible.

Cheng Yaoyao is currently idle and has nothing to do.

She knew that Zhang Ma was going into the kitchen to prepare the vegetables.

Cheng Yaoyao wasn't very skilled in kitchen matters, but she could manage to wash vegetables.

Since she had nothing to do at the moment, Cheng Yaoyao spoke up as Zhang Ma went into the kitchen, "Zhang Ma, let me help you."

When Zhang Ma heard Cheng Yaoyao's words, she paused for a moment, then turned back to Cheng Yaoyao and said, "No need, Yaoyao, I can do it myself."

Zhang Ma was already quite used to doing these things in the kitchen.

Even if there are many people, she can still do things in an orderly manner even when she is alone.

"Aunt Zhang, I'm really bored and have nothing to do. Please let me help you," Cheng Yaoyao said to Aunt Zhang.

Meeting Cheng Yaoyao's somewhat expectant gaze, Zhang Ma simply couldn't bring herself to refuse.

So Zhang Ma agreed.

As soon as Zhang Ma agreed, Cheng Yaoyao was overjoyed and followed Zhang Ma into the kitchen.

After entering the kitchen, Zhang Ma assigned Cheng Yaoyao some tasks, such as washing vegetables.

Although Cheng Yaoyao hadn't been in the kitchen very often before, she had at least been inside before.

When Zhang Ma handed the vegetables to Cheng Yaoyao to wash, she would glance at them a few times to see if Cheng Yaoyao knew how to wash vegetables.

When she saw that Cheng Yaoyao could wash vegetables, she felt relieved.

Perfect timing! With Cheng Yaoyao helping her wash the vegetables, she could go do other things.

In the past, Shen Quan would linger for a while after get off work until he felt he had lingered long enough before going home.

But on this day, Shen Quan felt that time was passing particularly slowly, and he couldn't wait to get off work.

Normally, Shen Quan feels that time passes very slowly, and he never even looks at his phone during work hours.

But today is different.

Since starting work, Shen Quan has been checking the time every now and then.

Moreover, this was the first time Shen Quan had ever felt that time was passing relatively slowly.

For the first time, Shen Quan wished that time could pass more quickly.

Even during work hours, Shen Quan couldn't concentrate.

While at work, Shen Quan would often think of Cheng Yaoyao.

He had never experienced anything like this before.

This is the first time today.

Shen Quan thought that the reason he felt time was passing quickly today was probably because he wanted to see Cheng Yaoyao, which made time seem to pass more slowly.

Before even leaving get off work, Shen Quan had already shut down his computer and was preparing to go home.

While Shen Quan was driving in the garage, he received a call from his friend who wanted to invite him for drinks, but Shen Quan declined.

Shen Quan just wants to see Cheng Yaoyao as soon as possible.

Before, he and Cheng Yaoyao would see each other almost every day.

Or, even if we don't see each other every day, we should at least see each other every day or two.

Regardless, Shen Quan just wanted to see Cheng Yaoyao as soon as possible, so after declining the invitation to drink, he quickly drove home.

However, this time of day happens to be rush hour, and there are quite a lot of cars on the road.

By the time Shen Quan arrived home, almost an hour had passed.

Even so, it still takes him a little longer to get home than Shen Quan usually does.

After Jingpei got off work, he said he was going to take Hongbaobao out for dinner.

However, Hong Baobao said that she wanted to go home.

Although Hong Baobao didn't show anything on her face, she was still concerned about Cheng Yaoyao and Shen Quan's situation.

I wonder how those two are doing now.

Hopefully, Cheng Yaoyao won't blame her brother.

Because she was thinking about Shen Quan and Cheng Yaoyao, Hong Baobao just wanted to go home after Jing Pei got off work.

However, Hong Baobao didn't want to just abandon Jing Pei like that, so when she went home, she took Jing Pei with her.

When Hong Baobao got home, she saw Cheng Yaoyao helping Zhang Ma in the kitchen, while Shen Quan was sitting on the sofa watching TV.

They said they were watching TV, but in reality, the TV was just on. As for what Shen Quan was really thinking, it was quite obvious.

Hong Baobao stared at Shen Quan for a while. She noticed that Shen Quan would glance towards the kitchen every now and then. Even if she didn't want to, she knew that Shen Quan was definitely looking at Cheng Yaoyao.

It seems she'll soon have a sister-in-law; not many, really.

Thinking of this, Hong Baobao couldn't help but chuckle to herself.

Jing Pei was puzzled when he saw Hong Baobao suddenly laugh. He didn't know what Hong Baobao was laughing about.

After a short while, he saw that Hong Baobao had finally stopped laughing, and she walked towards Shen Quan.

Hong Baobao tugged at Shen Quan's sleeve and pointed upstairs. Shen Quan got up and followed Hong Baobao upstairs.
