Chapter 445: Duplicity, Awkward Old Xie (Part 1)
After hanging up the bed sheets, Aunt Liu returned to the kitchen and continued to prepare breakfast for her nephew and uncle.
At eight o'clock, Xie Dingyuan went downstairs on time as usual.
The shirt was ironed straight, without a single wrinkle, the jacket was held in the crook of his arm with dignity and self-respect, and the suit trousers wrapped around his long legs, as straight as a cut.
"Sir, breakfast will be ready soon."
The man hummed lightly, not mentioning anything that had happened in the laundry room before, and his expression did not reveal anything.
Naturally, Aunt Liu didn't say much. She turned and went into the kitchen and quickly brought breakfast to the table.
"Sir, try my new chestnut millet porridge. I've had it reviewed by a nutritionist, and the recipe has been adjusted to ensure the same balanced nutritional intake as before, without any deviation!"
Xie Dingyuan lowered his head to taste the food, and even such a simple action as holding the spoon showed his unique "elegance".
Aunt Liu clutched her apron, her eyes trembling with anxiety. "What do you think?"
"Not bad." He said succinctly.
She breathed a sigh of relief, a smile creeping up her face: "That's good, that's good..."
"Where's Zhong Ziang?"
"Today is Saturday. You don't have to go to school. You should still be asleep."
Xie Dingyuan looked at his watch and said, "Wake him up for breakfast in an hour."
Staying in bed on an empty stomach can easily lead to gallstones.
"good."
After eating, Xie Dingyuan prepared to go out.
Aunt Liu immediately handed over his coat: "Sir, will you come back for dinner tonight?"
"No."
"Okay, then I'll be the young master's only one."
"Um."
Xie Dingyuan picked up his coat, changed his shoes, and prepared to go out.
Aunt Liu turned back to the dining room and started to clean up the dishes and take them into the kitchen.
When she came out again, she saw Xie Dingyuan, who was supposed to leave, standing in the middle of the dining room, facing the kitchen, and bumped into her.
Aunt Liu: “!” I was very confused.
"Is the chicken soup I mentioned yesterday...done?"
"Ah? Stewed, stewed!"
The man coughed lightly, "Pack a bowl and I'll take it to the hospital."
Aunt Liu didn't dare to say anything or ask anything. She just nodded and said, "I'll get it ready right away."
"Yes. Besides the soup, it would be best if you could bring some food as well."
"?" The doubt in Liu Ma's eyes could no longer be contained.
Didn’t you say last night that you wouldn’t send me off?
How come I changed after waking up from sleep?
But she didn't dare to question Xie Dingyuan, so she could only rush into the kitchen and prepare meals suitable for the patient as quickly as possible, including a can of hot chicken soup, packed it up, and handed it to Xie Dingyuan.
"...This chicken soup is fresh out of the pot and is a little hot. It's best to let it cool for a few minutes before drinking it to avoid burning your mouth."
"As for the cucumbers, I crushed them and put them in two compartments with the seasoning to prevent them from being marinated and losing their crispness. Just pour the seasoning in and mix well when you eat."
Xie Dingyuan listened carefully and nodded from time to time.
Aunt Liu finished speaking in one breath, and was quite surprised at her husband's patience and perseverance today. You know, he usually has no time and no patience to listen to these things.
I became more and more certain that the person staying in the hospital was a girl, otherwise how could she be so meticulous and considerate?
"Anything else to note?"
Aunt Liu shook her head: "No more."
"Okay." He picked up the thermos and strode away.
…
At nine o'clock in the morning, Liu Ma cleaned up the kitchen and was about to go upstairs to wake Zhong Ziang up.
Who knew that Zhong Ziang woke up by himself, slipping on his slippers and walking into the kitchen sleepily.
"Auntie Liu, is there anything to eat? I'm hungry."
"Yes, yes, yes! They're all ready and still hot."
"Where's my uncle?"
"The gentleman is out."
"Oh." Zhong Ziang yawned and stared at the golden fried egg on the plate, swallowing his saliva.
"Did my uncle say when he would be back?"
"No, he just said he wouldn't be back for dinner."
"Hehe..." Then he could go to the Internet cafe and stay there until night before going home, without having to worry about being caught by his uncle.
"By the way, my husband is in a hurry to go to the hospital, and asked me to supervise you to eat breakfast." Aunt Liu added another fried egg to his plate.
"I'm just about to..." eat.
Before he could finish his words, Zhong Ziang's eyes suddenly widened: "What did you say?! My uncle went to the hospital?!"
"Yeah. He even brought food and chicken soup. How thoughtful..."
"When did you leave?"
"Yo, it's almost forty minutes."
Zhong Ziang: “…” The tracking plan failed again.
Damn!
…
City Hospital, VIP ward.
"...It's really nothing, just a minor issue. I can be discharged tomorrow... Okay, then please tell Teacher Xu that I'll be back on time for the midterm exam... You really don't have to come. The air in the hospital is not good... Okay, bye."
Jiang Fuyue had just finished her call with Wan Xiutong when Xie Dingyuan pushed open the door and walked in.
Seeing her holding a cell phone, he casually asked, "Are you on the phone?"
Jiang Fuyue: "It's over."
"Yeah, breakfast."
She blinked: "Didn't you say you didn't have to come today?"
Without even raising his eyelids, the man flipped up the small table, took out the small compartments from the thermos, and arranged them.
The movements are obviously more skillful than yesterday.
"Your injury is at least considered a work-related injury. I feel bad for leaving you alone in the hospital."
Jiang Fuyue took the chopsticks he handed her.
The food in front of me looked delicious, and the air was filled with the rich aroma of chicken soup, which penetrated my nostrils domineeringly and forcefully.
Jiang Fuyue couldn't help swallowing.
But he said, "Even if it's a work-related injury, the boss doesn't have to come over and bring food, right?"
Xie Dingyuan laughed in anger: "The boss personally delivered the meal and you're still complaining? Can you have some sense of courtesy?"
She shrugged: "Thank you, boss!"
The man was stunned for a moment, then the anger in his eyes faded, leaving only a faint smile: "Drink the soup first, while it's hot."
While Jiang Fuyue was drinking, Xie Dingyuan started to mix the cucumbers.
The cucumbers are already pounded and the seasonings are ready. You just need to pour the cucumbers into the seasonings and mix them.
Everything was fine except for a drop of sauce that splashed out when I was mixing it.
Suddenly, the man's expression changed.
He put down his chopsticks and started looking for a tissue. He not only wiped off the drop of sauce, but also wiped the entire small table, every corner and every seam.
After he finished doing all this with a frown, and the wrinkles between his brows finally relaxed, Fu Yi raised his head and unexpectedly met the girl's playful gaze, which contained a hint of smile.
Xie Dingyuan froze.
Jiang Fuyue took the used tissue from his hand and threw it into the trash can beside the bed.
"Is it okay now?" she asked.
"……Can."
Tsk, it seems that he not only has obsessive-compulsive disorder, but is also a mysophobe.
Next, Jiang Fuyue concentrated on eating, and Xie Dingyuan sat beside her and watched her.
After eating, he cleaned up the dishes, put them in a thermos bucket, and took them away.
Jiang Fuyue asked him, "Are you going to the lab?"
"Um."
She fished out a USB drive from under her pillow. "The latest optimized data model is plugged into the host computer. It can be used directly without installation."
Xie Dingyuan took it and put it in his trouser pocket: "I'll come back this afternoon."
Jiang Fuyue nodded: "Okay."
He laughed: "Why don't you refuse?"
She raised an eyebrow. “If rejection worked, you wouldn’t be here right now.”
The man was speechless and unable to refute.
Jiang Fuyue: "Besides, isn't it my conscience that makes me feel guilty? As an employee, I have to make sure my boss is at ease and at ease."
"So, I should thank you?"
She readily agreed: "You're welcome."
Xie Dingyuan: "..." Why does she like the way she looks even when she's angry with me?
…
Zhong Ziang failed to track the person, so he went to the Internet cafe to play games.
We played from morning to afternoon, and finally went out to find something to eat because we were so hungry.
He unknowingly walked to the door of Jiang Ji, smacked his lips, and wanted to eat pancakes.
But the long queue in front of him stopped him in his tracks. He finally turned around and went into the convenience store next door. He spent five dollars to buy a cold sandwich. While eating it, he smelled the aroma of pancakes wafting in the air.
Just... pretend you ate a pancake.
Mmm, it smells so good!
After finishing his meal, Zhong Ziang was about to return to the internet cafe. When he passed by a fruit shop, he heard Jiang Fuyue's name unexpectedly. He paused and looked in the direction of the voice...
In the fruit shop.
Wan Xiutong held an apple in one hand and a pear in the other, and looked at Liu Bowen with a troubled expression: "Which one should I buy?"
Liu Bowen thought for a moment and asked, "What kind of food does Jiang Fuyue like?"
“…I don’t think I’ve ever seen Jiang Jiang eat in the classroom.”
Liu Bowen's mouth twitched: "Then I don't know. Whatever, it's a token of my appreciation. Most people can eat apples and pears."
"Is that so..." Wan Xiutong was still unsure.
Liu Bowen was extremely anxious: "Hurry up! The sun will set soon if you keep talking. Why are we still going to the hospital?"
"Hospital? What hospital?!" another voice interrupted. The two turned around subconsciously and saw Zhong Ziang standing not far away, with a raised brow and a questioning look on his face.
