Chapter 100 Zhou Family
Shi Qing's sleepiness was instantly shattered by the sound.
She looked in the direction of the voice and saw Sheng Han's tall and straight figure standing in the slightly cramped kitchen of her house.
He was wearing one of… her mother's aprons with a cartoon of little pink strawberries printed on it.
The apron's strings were tied casually around his lean waist. Far from looking funny, the huge contrast gave him an indescribable...husband-like feeling.
He turned around, with a gentle smile on his handsome face.
Shi Qing's brain froze for three seconds.
She thought he left at daybreak!
Why is he still here?!
And she's wearing her fucking apron?!
"ah!"
After a short scream, Shi Qing covered her face and fled like a frightened rabbit, rushing into the bathroom.
Sheng Han looked at her panicked back, smiled helplessly and shook his head.
In the bathroom, Shi Qing leaned against the door, her heart still pounding.
She leaned in front of the mirror and looked at herself in the mirror with her hair messy and eye boogers in the corners of her eyes. She wanted to die on the spot.
Is this the look she used to show her hunger to Sheng Han?
She's a female star! She has her idol baggage!
Taishe is dead!
Shi Qing lingered in the bathroom for a full half hour, washing, applying skin care, putting on makeup, and changing into a comfortable set of home clothes. After making sure that she at least looked like a normal person, she took a deep breath and walked out with a fearless attitude.
In the living room, Sheng Han had already placed a bowl of steaming red date milk porridge and a boiled egg on the dining table.
As soon as Shi Qing sat down, he sat down next to her very naturally.
He picked up the egg with his bony fingers, tapped it lightly on the table a few times, and then slowly and methodically peeled the shell for Shi Qing.
Shi Qing drank the porridge in small sips to fill her hungry stomach.
"Where's my mother?" she asked vaguely.
"Mom said Teacher An's family downstairs was going to Wucheng for two days. Since the break from high school was short, it was a rare opportunity, so she went along. They left at nine in the morning, and they're probably on the highway by now."
Sheng Han handed the cleanly peeled egg to her lips.
Shi Qing paused.
Her mother...just sold her out like that?!
But he subconsciously opened his mouth, took a bite of the egg, and took it.
Sheng Han looked at her slightly open lips that were glistening with water, his eyes darkened, and then he stood up as if nothing had happened and walked into the kitchen again.
"I'm going to make lunch."
Shi Qing ate eggs in small bites while opening her cell phone, and sure enough, she saw the message her mother had sent around nine o'clock.
She explained the situation concisely, expressing that she had thought it over all night and had finally come to terms with it. Moreover, the couple hadn't been together for a long time, so she decided not to act like a third wheel.
Shi Qing: “…”
She put down her phone and watched Sheng Han, wearing a small apron that obviously didn't fit her, skillfully washing and cutting vegetables in her familiar kitchen, her profile focused and serious.
It really feels like a young couple living together.
No, Shi Qing realized belatedly, aren’t they just a young couple now!
The damn long-distance relationship made her almost forget that she was married.
Shi Qing leisurely finished the bowl of porridge that she wasn't sure whether it was breakfast or lunch. Then she turned her head and noticed that a mountain of gift boxes had been piled up in the corner of the living room.
The packaging is exquisite and you can tell it's expensive at first glance.
"Did you bring those?" Shi Qing, holding the empty bowl, wandered to the kitchen door and asked while leaning against the door frame.
Sheng Han was cutting potato shreds with his head down. When he heard the sound, he looked back. His knife skills did not stop, and the potato shreds in his hands were as fine and even as hair.
"Yeah." He responded, but his ears unconsciously turned a thin layer of red.
"It was already in the trunk. I went to get it this morning. It's my first official visit, so I can't go empty-handed."
He woke up at around six in the morning. The person in his arms was sleeping soundly and he didn't dare to move.
Seeing that it was getting bright outside and calculating that it was almost time, he quietly got up, tiptoed out, and took out the gifts that he had prepared long ago from the car.
"so……"
Shi Qing dragged out the last syllable of her words, with a sly smile in her eyes.
"You've been planning this for a long time. Are you coming to my house?"
Sheng Han paused while cutting vegetables and did not answer, but his ears, which were getting redder and redder, had already betrayed all his thoughts.
Shi Qing made two "tsk tsk" sounds and stopped teasing him, but her heart felt as sweet as if it were filled with honey.
She watched Sheng Han skillfully heat the oil, put the food into the wok, and stir the spoon. His movements were smooth and the aroma soon filled the small kitchen.
She couldn't help but be a little surprised. She didn't expect that he was so capable.
At noon, there were four dishes and a soup on the table, which were delicious.
After eating their fill, the two decided to find a movie to pass the time.
The curtains had not been opened since she came home.
There is no way around it, you have to be on guard all the time when there is a celebrity at home.
Turn off the main lights in the living room, leaving only a circle of warm light strips.
Sheng Han leaned back on the sofa, while Shi Qing curled up in his arms like a lazy cat.
Shi Qing operated the remote control and randomly found an old movie with a high rating to play.
It was inconvenient for both of them to go out, and they thought that this rare moment of two people together would last peacefully all day long.
Until a quick phone call broke the silence.
Caller ID: Grandpa.
At the same time, in Anluo City, Zhou family.
There was an invisible majesty in the air.
In the antique restaurant, on a huge round sandalwood table, the dishes are rich and exquisite, but the atmosphere seems a bit solemn because of the old man who sits at the host seat and looks majestic without being angry.
Mr. Zhou is in good spirits and has a sharp gaze.
He put down his chopsticks and glanced at his two sons and their families.
Finally, that sharp gaze fell on the eldest grandson Zhou Yuli.
"Yuancheng, Shuya." He spoke in a deep voice, looking at his eldest son and daughter-in-law, "You two, stop focusing on work and pay more attention to Yuli's lifelong affairs! You're already thirty-three this year, and still single. How can this be right?"
The eldest son, Zhou Yuancheng, who currently holds an important position in a ministry, looked helpless when he heard this: "Dad, Yu Li is so old, there's no way he would listen to our opinions."
Zhou Yuli, who had been eating in silence, wiped the corner of his mouth with a napkin and spoke slowly. His voice was as calm as water, but it successfully surprised everyone present.
"Grandpa, I already have a girlfriend."
After a long conversation with Qu Jinhuan, he realized that in his eyes, they had been lovers for a long time, but in her eyes, it was always an ambiguous and shady relationship.
This made him feel both distressed and guilty.
Fortunately, after some frankness, she finally let down her guard and we officially established a relationship.
"Oh?" Old Master Zhou's dim eyes lit up instantly, and he blurted out a series of questions, "Whose family is this girl from? How old is she? What does she do? What's she like? When will you bring her back for me to see?"
