"Daddy~"
Tuanzi pointed to the video doorbell display screen.
Su Nuo saw that it really was Zhou Yixing and immediately opened the door. Tuanzi had been standing on tiptoe trying to reach the doorknob, and even when she was getting impatient, she couldn't reach it.
Why did you get down here?
"I'll bring you food."
"I'll be up there in a bit."
"Daddy, hug me, it's so delicious!"
Zhou Yixing lifted him up with one arm.
"It's not yours, it's for Mom."
"You can watch him while I go to the kitchen."
"good"
Su Nuo returned to the kitchen, prepared some flour, added spinach juice, and gently stirred it with chopsticks as she added it. The flour clumped into small green lumps. After the water boiled, she added the lumps to the pot and stirred them. She then added an egg, a pinch of salt, and turned off the heat after the pot came to a boil.
Making smaller batches makes them cook faster. I put them in the little bowls that dumplings are meant for, blew on them with a small electric fan for a while, and when I touched them, they weren't hot anymore. I then took them out and placed them on the dining table.
"Tuanzi, dinner's ready!"
"oh!"
Although I answered, I didn't move because I was watching cartoons.
"Let's go eat."
Before Tuanzi could answer, Zhou Yixing turned off the TV, picked him up, and put him in the high chair.
Wow! After watching it...
Tuanzi kicked her legs, but couldn't break free.
"Does Tuanzi want to eat by herself or do you want to feed her?"
"What are you going to eat?"
Su Nuo was already fed up with his accent; the ending of every sentence sounded strange, and she couldn't help but laugh.
"Then eat it yourself."
I put an apron on him; he's probably going to get food all over himself today. But he likes to drink, just like she does; Zhou Yixing doesn't like this kind of thing.
"You go eat, I'll watch him."
"Then don't let him get it all over you."
"Know"
Su Nuo opened the lunchbox, which contained a variety of dishes. She glanced at the time and sent a message to Qin Zifu, saying that since the food had been brought down, she wouldn't go upstairs.
"Are you going upstairs to eat later?"
This should be a portion for her alone, right?
"Okay, I'll go up in a bit."
Seeing that her mother had a lot of food in front of her, more than she had, Tuanzi started sending cute beams at her mother.
Now he's starting to crave the food adults eat. When he sees something delicious, he'll grin at them with his little teeth showing.
Su Nuo found a piece of grilled meat that didn't have much flavor and gave it to him. There was no meat for dinner tonight, so a little bit would be fine.
She then lowered her head and began to eat. The three of them remained silent. She ate a little of each, not knowing which one she liked or disliked.
"If you don't like something, then eat what you like."
"It's all alright."
Su Nuo didn't look up, and ate in small bites.
Tuanzi hasn't been eating properly lately. He plays while eating, getting food all over his head. In the end, Zhou Yixing couldn't stand it anymore. He looked at him sternly and took the spoon, feeding him spoonful by spoonful until he finished eating.
"Tuanzi, are you not full?"
I didn't eat anything all afternoon; I just focused on learning to speak.
"full"
Tuanzi rubbed his belly, and Su Nuo also rubbed his belly. She then fed him two more bites of steamed sea cucumber and egg. He wouldn't open his mouth for the third bite.
That's fine.
Su Nuo took Tuanzi into the bathroom to wash her. She ate half of it and spilled the rest. When she came out, Zhou Yixing had cleaned up around the dining table.
"You can go up now."
"Aren't you going up?"
"I told Fufu we're not going up. Are you taking Tuanzi with you, or will you come down to pick her up when you leave?"
Zhou Yixing didn't say anything. Was there no option for him to go up and stay here with her?
"I'll come down to pick you up in a bit."
"Okay, go on upstairs, say goodbye to Dad."
"..."
Zhou Yixing felt like he had been kicked out of his home; as soon as he came out, Su Nuo had already closed the door.
"Hey, you're back! We thought you weren't coming up. Why did it take you so long?"
This trip takes an hour.
"I was making dumplings for dinner."
"You're a stay-at-home dad now? Come on, let's have a drink!"
The guys were all eating and waiting here, even Huo Yun was there. Beng Beng, Qiu Qiu, and An Ning went back to rest first.
Qin Zifu, Tang Shuyu, and Cheng Xingran were watching a play in her house.
"Where do you two usually live?"
Qin Zifu pointed
"Over there, mine's been empty for ages and got covered in dust. I had someone clean it up a couple of days ago."
"Wow, that's really great! I only noticed it today. The design of your nanny's room is excellent; you can walk from the elevator, turn into the nanny's room, and then go directly into the kitchen."
"Maybe it's so that when I go out to buy groceries and cook, others won't be disturbed."
"Yeah, I've been using the maid's room as a storage room; it's pretty useless."
"It might come in handy when we have kids; my aunt's two children will need two aunties to take care of them."
"That's all for taking care of my aunt."
"Shuyu, are you staying downstairs today?"
"Yes, I stayed here yesterday."
"Hmm? We had no idea about that."
"Exactly! You're not telling us now, are you planning to secretly get your marriage certificate one day and not tell us either?"
"No, no, I swear to God, I've never hidden anything."
"cut"
"Fufu, it's getting dark. I'm going back now. I need to get up early for work tomorrow."
Cheng Xingran had a relaxing day here, but she still had a lot to do tomorrow.
"Okay, then take your time on your way back."
"Okay, no need to see me off, I can go by myself."
She then got up, grabbed her bag, and went out. Ling Zhiyi didn't even notice that Cheng Xingran had left.
It wasn't until Qin Zifu and Tang Shuyu finished watching the episode and went to find them that they learned Cheng Xingran had left half an hour earlier.
"They've left?"
"Yeah, you're gone. I was quite surprised to see you here."
When did you leave? From where did you leave?
Ling Zhiyi stood up, then sat down a few seconds later; he couldn't catch up now.
"Of course we'll take the elevator, what else would we take but the window?"
Qin Zifu rolled her eyes. What a question.
The two sat down and ate something else. The raw marinated seafood they chose today was quite good; it was very fresh and delicious.
But watching them drink is boring.
"If you're tired, go back. We'll stay a little longer."
"Then we're leaving."
After leaving the garden, Qin Zifu went straight home, while Tang Shuyu took the elevator to Gu Di'an's house.
"Now that you've all sent your wives home, can you finally have a proper drink?"
Ling Zhiyi poured a glass for everyone.
"No, I'll go back as soon as she messages me before she goes to sleep."
Qi Jingchen said nonchalantly.
"Me too, she's not used to living here alone."
Gu Di'an adjusted his glasses, picked up his wine glass, and took a sip.
"Me too, your aunt is pregnant, and I'm worried about not being able to see her."
Huo Yun switched the beaded bracelet to his left hand, freeing his hand to drink. He hadn't touched a drop of alcohol since they told him he wasn't allowed to drink while trying to conceive, and this was the first time he'd done so.
Do you think this is appropriate?
"There's nothing I can do; we're all married men, unlike you."
"Qi Jingchen, you're so despicable!"
Ling Zhiyi and Zhou Yixing took a sip.
"If your wives call you, go home; if they don't, drink some more, okay?"
"It's barely passable."
"Zhou Yixing, you're homeless too. Will you be alright if you drink more?"
"I need to go to Su Nuo's to pick up Tuanzi."
"..."
