Chapter 121: Chapter Review
Xu Zhiyang watched Li Huiyin's back as she left with her lunch box resolutely, feeling aggrieved, and went upstairs to her room pitifully.
Zhu Ci was sitting at the table thinking about something. When he heard the noise, he turned around and saw Xu Zhiyang looking aggrieved.
He quickly asked, "What's wrong, Yangyang?"
Xu Zhiyang walked over and sat on Zhu Ci's lap, burying her face in Zhu Ci's neck.
"Li Huiyin is someone who values love over friendship."
Zhu Ci lifted the person up into a hug.
"Seeing you look aggrieved, I thought someone bullied you."
Zhu Ci used a coaxing tone like a child, pinched Xu Zhiyang's nose with his fingers, and leaned over to kiss the end of his eyebrow lovingly.
"Come and kiss me again." Xu Zhiyang supported herself on his legs and leaned forward.
"Come and comfort me quickly!"
"You're acting like a spoiled child again." Zhu Ci followed his wishes and gently held the boy's cheek with his palm.
Xu Zhiyang still gets shy every time they kiss, with a blush extending to her neck, and her fingers tightly gripping Zhu Ci's collar, looking so well-behaved.
"Why are you so good?" Zhu Ci kissed the side of his neck, lifted the hem of his clothes with his hand, and gently brushed Xu Zhiyang's lower back.
There was a different meaning in the man's voice, and his eyes were full of desire.
Xu Zhiyang swallowed her saliva, dazzled by the flirtation of the domineering boyfriend in front of her.
Zhu Ci pressed the person into his arms and gently rubbed Xu Zhiyang's earlobe.
"Is it okay here?"
"Um……"
After a while, Xu Zhiyang endured the initial discomfort. It felt like an electric shock from his spine to the back of his head, making his limbs weak.
It's like floating up and down in the deep sea...
"Why are you so well behaved today?" Zhu Ci's face remained calm and composed, but his strength did not falter.
"Well...I've always...amn't it like this?"
"Have you forgotten how you provoked me last night?"
Xu Zhiyang bit Zhu Ci's shoulder: "Are you a vengeful person? And... I'm telling the truth... If you can't do it, then..."
"Why don't you say anything?" Zhu Ci pinched Xu Zhiyang's cheek in a bad way.
Xu Zhiyang was speechless. After a moment, he calmed down a little and then hit him angrily.
"Whether I can do it or not, you should know clearly in two nights."
“…”
Xu Zhiyang swore that she would never provoke Zhu Ci again from now on.
Absolutely! Absolutely! Never again!
And by the way, he regretted why he didn't go with Li Huiyin to find his damn brother.
This way, I can escape a disaster...
On the other side, Li Huiyin happily opened the door of the laboratory with a lunch box in hand.
The room was brightly lit, but Ji Chen was the only one there.
Hearing the voice, Ji Chen looked up and smiled gently when he saw it was Li Huiyin.
"Why are you here now? Come in and sit down."
Li Huiyin touched the tip of her nose embarrassedly, "Sorry to bother you, I came to look for Brother Han."
"No, I won't disturb you." Ji Chen saw a thin layer of sweat on the girl's head, and thought that she must have run all the way here.
"Would you like some water? Sit down for a moment."
"Okay, thank you." Li Huiyin was really a little thirsty. She was too slow in cooking, and after she finished, she was worried that Han Zhiche had already eaten, so she ran all the way over.
"You're welcome." Ji Chen poured a glass of warm water and handed it over.
Li Huiyin picked up the cup generously and drank it in a few gulps.
Ji Chen laughed silently. Seeing Li Huiyin's embarrassed expression, he said softly, "It's okay. I just thought you were cute. I didn't mean to laugh at you. Would you like another glass of water?"
Li Huiyin quickly shook her head: "No, thank you."
"You're welcome." Ji Chen glanced at the lunch box the girl was carrying and roughly understood why she came here.
Ji Chen pretended to understand and asked, "What do you want to talk to Lao Han about?"
"It's nothing." Li Huiyin put the lunch box on the table with a red face.
"I made some hometown food and wanted Brother Han to try it."
Ji Chen understood and pretended to look regretful.
"You came at a very unfortunate time. Old Han has been in the cafeteria for a while."
Li Huiyin was stunned, with an unconcealable disappointment in her eyes.
Why is she late again?
"I see... I'm sorry I came here rashly."
Li Huiyin stood up with red eyes and wanted to leave.
"Wait." Ji Chen gently pulled Li Huiyin's arm, then immediately let go.
"I also grew up in Jincheng. I really miss these hometown dishes when I smell them. I wonder if I will have the honor to try them?"
Li Huiyin was surprised: "But my cooking skills are average..."
"It doesn't matter."
Ji Chen smiled and said, "I can exchange it for crystals. I just miss it so much, just like the taste of my parents' cooking."
Li Huiyin quickly waved her hands, "You're too polite. Since you're Brother Han's friend, you're also my friend. Please eat."
Ji Chen said with surprise: "Is it really possible?"
"Sure." Li Huiyin opened the lids of all the food boxes and helped Ji Chen serve a bowl of fish porridge.
"You're a great cook." Ji Chen helped set the table.
"You didn't have time for dinner either, did you? Do you mind joining us?"
Li Huiyin shook her head: "It's okay."
The two sat face to face in a quiet atmosphere.
Li Huiyin was drinking porridge absentmindedly. Just as she was in a daze, a pair of chopsticks were extended in front of her and a piece of vegetable was picked up and given to her.
"Just unpacked chopsticks." Ji Chen met the girl's gaze and smiled gently: "This vegetable is delicious, you are amazing."
"Thank you." Li Huiyin smiled.
"It's okay, eat more, you're very thin."
"Um."
After dinner, Ji insisted on sending Li Huiyin home. It was already very late when they returned to the research institute. When he opened the door, he saw Han Zhiche writing in his diary.
Han Zhiche didn't even raise his head when he heard the voice: "I didn't see you when I came back just now. I was so hungry that I went to the cafeteria to eat and packed it for you."
Ji Chen said lightly: "No, I have already eaten."
Han Zhiche hummed, and after a while he realized something was wrong.
"No, you ate it in the lab?"
"yes."
Han Zhiche laughed angrily: "You are eating alone, why did I say something was so delicious?"
Ji Chen sighed, "Fish porridge, spicy chicken, pickled pepper chicken gizzards..."
Han Zhiche: “…”
.
At two o'clock in the morning, Xu Zhiyang was extremely sleepy, but he was still chatting with Zhu Ci.
"What does the Commander want to see you about today?"
Zhuci raised his hand to tuck the quilt in and said softly:
"Nothing serious. They just told me that most of the surviving soldiers of the Nighthawk Unit have been sent out on missions and may not be back for a month."
Xu Zhiyang raised his eyes lazily and patted Zhu Ci's chest comfortingly.
"That's good. It's good to be alive."
"Well, go to sleep if you're tired." Zhu Ci lowered his head and kissed the person in his arms.
"Not bad." Xu Zhiyang slowly closed his eyes.
"It's just that the commander asked me something strange today, and I don't understand it."
Zhu Ci pressed his cheek against Xu Zhiyang's forehead, gently playing with the boy's slender fingers in his hand.
"He asked me if I had insisted on going to Jincheng because of you..."
"But I don't remember this scene. Even if I really fell down and forgot about it, we didn't know each other before. Why... would I volunteer to pick you up?"
