Chapter 373 Simply put, he is challenging himself

Because that is not Si Zhuo's problem.

It's entirely my own problem.

She didn't want to take the money for granted.

If she really lost her bottom line, I'm afraid the Xiao family's money would not be enough to save her.

Qiu Manman: "Our Si Zhuo is a very nice guy, you can't say that about him."

“…”

I forgot about my brother after I got a husband.

Xiao Ze thought with sadness.

The car drove along the designated route for another twenty minutes.

Qiu Manman looked up and saw a lighthouse emitting a faint light in front of her.

Li Yifan should be there.

"Brother, since she asked me to come, please wait for me in the car;"

"no problem."

As soon as Qiu Manman got off the car, Xiao Zeyu also got off. After searching his body for a while, he found a small round, black object.

Xiao Zeyu pressed the black little thing and a red dot flashed.

"What is this?"

"You can simply think of it as a more advanced communication technology."

"If you are in any danger, I will know it immediately. You can talk to me by pressing twice in a row."

Qiu Manman tried to put it into her ears, but failed.

"Ahem, ahem, it doesn't suit you." This was custom-made by Xiao Zeyu for himself.

Seeing that his sister couldn't wear it, he wanted to make a new one for her later.

Qiu Manman didn't hesitate, "I'll go up first."

It took some time to climb the lighthouse. Qiu Manman didn’t exercise much, and she was already panting when she reached the top.

"Sister-in-law, the place you picked has a great view."

“It’s just that climbing up here is a bit tiring.”

Li Yifan handed her a bottle of water.

"Drink some water, take a break and then we'll talk."

Qiu Manman opened the bottle cap to drink water and wanted to find a clean place to sit down.

There is not a single clean spot on the ground.

It was all covered with strange and difficult-to-understand formulas written in chalk of various colors.

Qiu Manman used her cell phone flashlight to shine on the formula on the ground, "Who is so bored as to write physics formulas on the ground?"

"It's me..." Li Yifan remained calm.

Qiu Manman spit several times, "Ah, sister-in-law, you are really talented."

Li Yifan approached with a piece of chalk in her hand. "Just call me Fanfan, don't call me sister-in-law."

"Okay. Then let me ask you, did you have a fight with Xiao Baishu?"

Li Yifan squatted on the ground and continued to write these formulas.

"We didn't have a fight. I just made the decision too hastily without thinking through many things."

Qiu Manman listened quietly.

She thought that the next sentence would be that marriage was also hasty, so this time she lost contact with him was a time to think carefully about it.

Li Yifan: "I have a dream, which is to build a spaceship."

"What a dream." Qiu Manman encouraged, "I also want to go to outer space. I am young and have some unrealistic and messy ideas."

"That was my goal 18 years ago, but then I got sick and my body couldn't support me to do those things."

"Manman, do you think I should be brave for myself once?"

Qiu Manman is a perfect listener.

"Your elder brother is very good to me and I like him very much. If I have to choose someone to marry in this life, I would choose Xiao Baishu."

"But if I marry Xiao Baishu, I won't be able to fulfill my dream."

"Maybe this is the truth of that saying... People will be trapped by the things they couldn't get when they were young for their entire lives."

Li Yifan is giving up some things;

Qiu Manman looked at the formulas on the floor and felt a sore nose.

"Why?"

Li Yifan raised her head and tears fell at this moment. Qiu Manman, a woman, wanted to protect such a pitiful and frail figure.

Is this the charm of a heroine? !

Qiu Manman was shocked, but she kept her composure.

"Why do you have to give up your dreams after getting married? Your left hand is Xiao Baishu, and your right hand is your dream."

"What do you want to give up?"

Li Yifan stared at his left and right hands, full of confusion.

Qiu Manman shrugged helplessly, "See, you can't even choose. The left hand and the right hand are both indispensable. What should an adult choose? They should have both."

“…”

Li Yifan's sparkling eyes rested on her face.

"Is it because of such a small matter that you didn't contact Xiao Baishu?"

Li Yifan hesitated, "Is it a small matter?"

"What else?"

Qiu Manman even began to doubt the heroine's character.

What era is this, and the heroine is still playing the role of a spoiled wife.

Out of date!

out!

"Look, I'm married, I can still do whatever I want."

"I'm a nobody and don't have anything in particular I want to accomplish. If I can't accomplish it, that's fine. Si Zhuo doesn't have any big expectations of me either."

"If you have a dream, go after it. Xiao Baishu will not be a stumbling block on your way to pursuing your dream. If you like the second dimension, he will accept it well."

"It's just that you lost contact with him because of such a small matter. He must be so upset that he wants to hide under the quilt and throw away his little pearl."

This is the first time Qiu Manman has given so many great advice to encourage people to get married.

Xiao Baishu is the best.

Otherwise, she would be the first one to beat up her big brother's head.

Li Yifan threw away the chalk, rushed over and gave Qiu Manman a bear hug.

"Thank you, you really comforted me."

“…”

Qiu Manman: If this doesn’t work anymore, I’ll have no other options.

Li Yifan grabbed her clothes and wiped his tears.

The two sat side by side on the ground.

"Ever since I recovered from my illness, my dream and the choice of a man have been tormenting me. Xiao Baishu is great, but my mind tells me that I should be more selfish and live for myself."

“I have to pursue my dream.”

"When I convince myself like this, there will be a voice in my head telling me in the middle of the night. That voice says, "Fanfan, it's cold today, put on more clothes."

"Fanfan, I made soup for you."

"Fanfan, today is your birthday. This is a gift."

"Fanfan, I have nothing to do at the company tomorrow. I'll accompany you wherever you want to go."

Qiu Manman paid attention to Dian Qingqi and asked, "Is the soup delicious?"

Li Yifan recalled, "The carrot and pork rib soup is very sweet, the carrots are very soft, and the taste is super good."

"I feel like drinking."

"I'll call him and have him do it for you."

Qiu Manman covered her mouth and laughed, "I'm so embarrassed."

Li Yifan said angrily, "It's no problem, it's just a small matter."

The moment the call was made, Li Yifan was panicking and wanted to hang up.

A pair of soft hands stopped her from moving. "You can't retreat in battle."

“…………”

Li Yifan was careless for a moment.

There is nothing I can do now even though I have called.

Xiao Baishu's voice was hoarse and full of worry, "Fanfan, where are you? I want to find you."

"I... I'm fine." Li Yifan heard a familiar and caring voice and couldn't help crying, tears leaking out.

"Who bullied you?"

Xiao Baishu wished he could crawl over here along the Internet cable.

Li Yifan: "I'm with Manman. She wants to drink the carrot and pork ribs soup you made, make it for her. I'm going back to the Yun family with her."

She hung up the phone.

…

On the way back, Xiao Zeyu secretly glanced at the rearview mirror.

He could hear clearly their conversation on the lighthouse.

The content is uploaded to the cloud for storage.

I must send it to Xiao Baishu tomorrow.

My sister is quite capable of persuading others.

that is……

"Sister-in-law, can I have some carrot and pork rib soup?"

"Huh?" Li Yifan was extremely shocked. "How did you know?"

"Ahem, ahem, that's what I said." Qiu Manman hurriedly tried to smooth things over.

Only then did Li Yifan suppress his shocked expression.

The Yun family's house was brightly lit, and Yun Yaxin stood outside the kitchen watching.

Xiao Yanyu also stood next to her.

"Wife, what do you think of your son cooking?"

"Did he take a phone call and be busy in there all the time?"

Yun Yaxin saw him answer the phone with her own eyes.

Xiao Yanyu simply walked into the kitchen and told him, "Cook more. Mom and Dad haven't really tasted your cooking skills."

"Manman wants to drink."

Xiao Yanyu found it strange, "Don't be so funny with me."

"Fanfan called and said they are together."

Xiao Baishu disdains to tell lies.

Yun Yaxin understood everything. Xiao Zeyu took Qiu Manman out because of Li Yifan.

This phone call also meant that the problems that had been bothering Li Yifan had been resolved.

Qiu Manman deserves great credit for this.

"We have worked so hard. We have to counsel our confused sister-in-law in the middle of the night."

Xiao Yanyu took the opportunity to put his arm around her shoulders and sat down, "Let's sit here as a family and wait for them to come back."

"Um."

It was ten o'clock in the evening before Qiu Manman and the others came in.

The aroma of spare rib soup wafted from the dining table, accompanied by the sweetness of a carrot.

“Is it ready?”

Who knows, I didn’t really want to drink it.

Now I feel that this cooking skill is great and must be appreciated.

"Brother, give me a bowl first."

Xiao Baishu greeted her with great courtesy, serving her a full bowl of carrots, pork ribs and soup, and also another half bowl of soup alone.

"Drink slowly."

It’s a big pot, she definitely can’t finish it all by herself.

Qiu Manman drank a few sips and then served some to her family members.

When I turned around, Xiao Baishu and Li Yifan were no longer in the living room.

As expected, the two of them went to have a private conversation.

The more Qiu Manman drank this hot soup, the more satisfied she felt.

Qiu Manman was still thinking about Si Zhuo in her heart, so she brought a bowl of soup upstairs for Si Zhuo.

"Knock knock knock"

A mild voice came from inside, "Do you still have the habit of knocking before entering your room?"

"Hey, how did you guess it was mine?"

Autumn is coming.

Si Zhuo's black hair was disheveled, as if he had just taken a nap in bed.

"Did I wake you?"

Si Zhuo stood up and felt her hand was a little cold. "Where did you go?"

"I went out to be a relationship counselor for someone, and I got a bowl of hot soup. I'll bring it up for you to try."

Qiu Manman brought the drink herself, and Si Zhuo was very considerate and finished the drink even though he had no appetite.

"Your hands are so hot, they are as hot as my fever when I'm sick."

"……?"

Si Zhuo used the back of his hand to check the temperature

"Is it possible that I really have a fever?"

Qiu Manman snatched his bowl, helped him sit down, and also checked the temperature.

"I can't test it out, so I'll go find a thermometer."

I found a thermometer and found that Si Zhuo's fever reached 38 degrees.

"No wonder you didn't notice I was out. It turns out I was sick."

[Damn it, I even had an argument with him. ]

【Si Zhuodu is ill. His strong body is feverish.】

Qiu Manman ran out of the door and shouted downstairs, "Mom, Si Zhuo is sick, can you call a doctor to see him?"

Yun Yaxin notified the housekeeper to call a doctor.

Si Zhuo lay back on the bed.

"Why did you suddenly get sick?"

“I don’t know.”

Qiu Manman reflected on herself.

[Has my habit of grabbing the quilt affected Si Zhuo so seriously? ]

Si Zhuo really wanted to tell her.

There is heating in Jiashuiwan.

You can wear short sleeves regardless of the indoor temperature and won’t catch a cold.

The family doctor serving the Yun family came quickly and prescribed medicine for Si Zhuo.

The fever started to subside after taking the medicine.

It was a busy day, and it ended with Si Zhuo seeing a doctor.

the next day.

Li Yifan went downstairs to eat with Xiao Baishu. They slept together last night.

As soon as Qiu Manman saw Li Yifan's relaxed smile, she knew that the matter had been resolved perfectly.

The hero and heroine still can't separate.

Si Zhuo: “Cough cough cough cough.”

Qiu Manman was immediately drawn back to her senses by the cough, "If you are sick, drink more hot water."

A cup of steaming hot water was handed to Si Zhuo.

During breakfast, Qiu Manman praised, "Brother, when can you send me the recipe for carrot and pork rib soup? I'll ask Xiaoshi to make it for me."

Li Yifan drank his porridge and blurted out, "Why not just give it to Si Zhuo?"

"?"

This is not a misunderstanding.

"Si Zhuo can't cook."

"No? A man who can't cook loses some of his charm."

Li Yifan looked at Xiao Baishu shyly.

Xiao Baishu also looked back.

This was the first time that Qiu Manman was shown off by someone showing off their affection.

[Huh, our Si Zhuo can't cook but he's still very charming! ! ]

[No one is allowed to talk about him.]

Si Zhuo curled his thin lips.

It feels good to be protected.

After showing their affection, Xiao Baishu suddenly remembered that he had not replied to Qiu Manman's question.

"I'll sort it out and send it to you later."

Si Zhuo: “Send it to me.”

Qiu Manman blinked in disbelief, "Send it to you? Do you want me to go to the kitchen and cook?"

[No way, no way, a boss who doesn't care about worldly things cooks for me? 】

Xiao Bai expressed no dissenting opinions.

"We're done eating. Let's go now. We still have a lot of wedding matters to finalize."

Li Yifan said goodbye happily.

Qiu Manman nodded, propped up her head and looked at Si Zhuo: "Husband, do you want to try cooking?"

"Just give it a try."

"A few days later, you are still sick now."

"It's healed now." He knew his own body.

Qiu Manman couldn't refuse anything anymore.

…

That afternoon, Si Zhuo changed his clothes, prepared all the ingredients, and started cooking, one of the few times he did.

The movements are a little unfamiliar.

Qiu Manman held the green onion in her hand and said, "Si Zhuo, have you memorized all the steps?"

"I have a good memory. I won't make a mistake."

He doesn't even need to confirm the recipe twice.

"It seems that the top student's brain is useful everywhere." Si Zhuo put the ingredients into the pot one by one and boiled them, and Qiu Manman commented.

"Xiao Baishu said it should be stewed for thirty minutes. You go out, I'll keep an eye on the temperature here."

"No need, just check it once every ten minutes." Qiu Manman pulled him out.

Si Zhuo still wasn't reassured.

"Si Zhuo, believe me, I have experience."

Twenty minutes later——

Turning down the heat, Si Zhuo set the timer for ten minutes, then stood by, listening to the gurgling sound, with a faint smile in his eyes.

Yun Yaxin finished a video conference upstairs and glanced towards the kitchen unintentionally.

Si Zhuo was in the kitchen, still lighting the open fire on the stove.

"???"

"Manman, what is he...doing?"

"It's stewing."

Qiu Manman added, "Simply put, he is challenging himself."

"not understand."

Thirty minutes passed.
