Taking advantage of this break, Ning Wan didn't sit idle.
Cut the green peppers and lean meat from the other dish into thin strips.
Ah Man, carrying the vegetables and a basin, ran outside.
When Ning Wan finished her work and came out to look for him, she found him sitting on the balcony.
Although it was only a little past 9 a.m., the sun was already blazing. The sunlight streamed into the room and shone on Aman.
Because he needed to use water and was afraid of getting his watch wet, Aman took off his pink smartwatch and placed it in the shade. But he himself stood in the sun for almost half an hour.
He works very quickly, picking, sorting, and washing the vegetables.
The movements were completed in one smooth motion.
Ning Wan squatted down beside him: "Are you tired?"
Hearing the voice, Aman turned around and saw Ning Wan handing him a wrung-out towel: "Wipe your face, you're all sweaty."
Aman blushed and carefully accepted it.
He wiped his face haphazardly and obediently replied, "Aman isn't tired."
Despite saying she wasn't tired, beads of sweat were still dripping from Aman's forehead.
Sweat trickled down his body, tracing his strong features to his neck, and finally landing on his skin.
Aman was still wearing the tank top and beach shorts that Ning Wan had bought for him. The thin fabric, damp with sweat, subtly outlined the lines of his abdomen.
His chest was broad and powerful, with muscles that seemed ready to burst out.
Because his long hair was in the way, Ning Wan would tie it up with her own hair tie every day and fix it behind his head.
With all her facial features exposed, Ning Wan suddenly realized that Aman was actually quite good-looking.
Especially under the light, his already sculpted profile looked even more angular.
Her narrow, phoenix-shaped eyes were lowered, and she looked very well-behaved.
A high, straight nose with a prominent bridge.
Especially those lips, opening and closing. Ning Wan felt it must be very...
...
Stop!
Ning Wan gasped sharply.
What was she thinking just now?
Aman is now a mentally unstable missing person. That fleeting thought of hers just now was really too much...
...
Ning Wan stood up abruptly and left with a complicated expression.
She walked with hurried steps, as if some ferocious beast was chasing her from behind.
Ah Man, holding the vegetables in his hand, scratched his head, somewhat puzzled.
Did he make Wanwan angry?
...
After all the dishes were prepared, Ning Wan had recovered from her emotional outburst.
She took out a takeout box and, together with Aman, packed the boxed meals in preparation for setting up their stall.
Give me that lid... and the chopsticks.
"Make sure you count the number of chopsticks. Have you checked the plum juice in the refrigerator? If it's ready, take it out and put it in the styrofoam cooler..."
Aman is very obedient.
No matter what Ning Wan instructed, he showed no impatience and obediently followed her orders.
They are truly selfless and dedicated employees, working 24/7.
After packing the boxed lunches, Ning Wan patted Aman's broad shoulder and declared boldly, "After we sell all the boxed lunches today, I'm going to buy you a new set of clothes!"
Aman's eyes widened, her face filled with surprise: "...Wanwan, you're so good to me."
Ning Wan touched her nose somewhat guiltily.
The main problem is that this outfit is just a bit...
Especially Ah Man's full, firm muscles made his otherwise ordinary clothes stand out even more...
Like a pipa player half-concealing her face...
...
Never mind, it's her heart.
So everything looks dirty to me??﹏??……
...
The two continued packing boxed meals, busy at work, when there was a sudden knock on the door.
"Knock knock knock..."
Who is it?
Ning Wan walked over and opened the door.
When she saw who was standing at the door, she looked disgusted and said, "Why are you here again?"
"Don't be like that, I brought gifts today." Ning You raised the several exquisite gift bags in her hand: "I came in a hurry yesterday and didn't prepare anything. So this morning, I went to the mall to buy gifts."
As they were talking, Aman came out of the kitchen carrying a white styrofoam box.
Ning You asked with great interest, "Are you going out now?"
The veins on Ning Wan's forehead throbbed.
I have a bad feeling...
...
When Ning Wan arrived at the construction site, it was not yet time for the workers to get off work.
She directed Aman to take the lunchboxes out of the styrofoam boxes and arrange them. Then she turned to Ning You, who insisted on coming along, and said, "The construction site is dangerous and not suitable for pregnant women. You should go back now."
"You don't need to worry about me."
Ning You didn't stand on ceremony with her and pulled out a small stool from under the stall: "You guys do your thing, I'll stay here and not go anywhere."
After saying that, she held her belly and sat down in the cool shade of a tree.
Ning Wan felt that Ning You, whom she had met in the past two days, was completely different from the aloof older sister in the original owner's memories.
She couldn't help but complain, "Isn't this considered out of character (OOC)?"
"What C?"
Ning You slowly waved her fan, not understanding Ning Wan's words.
Ning Wan: "..."
"...Never mind, it's okay...You sit here and don't wander around. We'll go back together after I'm done with my work."
Ning You smiled slightly and said, "I know, I know, stop nagging..."
Ning Wan was at a loss for what to do about Ning You's willful and shameless behavior.
She stopped hesitating and rushed over to help Aman.
The midday sun slowly rose into the sky, its scorching rays piercing through the thick clouds and the lush foliage.
Occasionally, a few specks of light would fall on my face.
Ning You raised her hand to shield herself with her fan.
On the stall not far away, Ning Wan's busy figure never stopped.
"Hello, here are your two boxed meals and two bottles of plum juice. Ah Man, please bring out another boxed meal..."
"You need 3 servings, right? Just a moment, here's your 50..."
...
Watching Ning Wan spinning like a top, busy without ever getting tired, Ning You felt a little envious of her.
I envy her youthful energy, I envy her love of life...
...
A vibration came from my small bag.
Ning You unzipped her jacket and took out her phone.
It was Lu Chen calling.
Ning You pressed the answer button: "Hello?"
"Youyou, when I went home this morning, Mom and Dad said you left early." On the other end of the phone, Lu Chen's voice was gentle and clear: "Where did you go? When are you coming back? Do you want me to pick you up?"
Having just left the suffocating Ning family home, Ning You was in a bad mood.
