The doorbell rang precisely at noon the next day.
Ah Ying went to open the door.
Cheng Zhou was carrying an exquisite food box and smiled as he winked at her.
"I've brought you some delicious food."
Ah Ying quickly invited him in.
Cheng Zhou made sweet and sour pork ribs and crispy fried duck, both dishes that Shang Wu used to like.
Shang Wu sat at the table and invited Cheng Zhou to eat with her. The three of them then sat around the table chatting and eating.
Cheng Zhou sighed and asked curiously, "I heard that a mysterious big shot cured your poison before Brother Yun Shen brought the experts over. Who is so powerful?"
"I don't know." Shang Wu stuffed a piece of pork rib into her mouth.
She looked up and saw Cheng Zhou's astonished expression. Her tone became more serious: "Really, I really don't know who he is. He came and went in a hurry. He's probably just a big shot who's interested in detoxification."
Cheng Zhou laughed: "Then you're quite lucky. You've barely escaped death. Eat well and rest well."
He tapped Ah Ying's hand, which was reaching for the chicken soup, with his chopsticks: "That's for your boss to nourish his body."
Ah Ying stuck out her tongue and had no choice but to pull her hand back.
Shang Wu immediately poured half of the chicken soup into A Ying's bowl: "Don't bully A Ying, I can't drink this much by myself."
Cheng Zhou looked wronged: "What do you mean by bullying her? Look how plump and healthy she is..."
"What do you mean by plump and round? I only weigh ninety pounds..."
"Really? I didn't notice."
"you!"
Cheng Zhou and A Ying were bickering animatedly.
Shang Wu sat nearby, laughing as if listening to a crosstalk performance, eating as he went.
Just as the atmosphere was getting along well, the doorbell rang again, which was completely out of place.
Aying opened the door again, and this time Chen Chunzhi, dressed like a peacock with its tail feathers spread, was holding a huge, extravagant bouquet of red roses.
“Ah Wu! I came here especially for this…”
Chen Chunzhi hadn't finished speaking when he saw Cheng Zhou, and his voice suddenly stopped.
His smile instantly turned into wariness, and he subtly scrutinized Cheng Zhou. "Oh, a guest?"
Cheng Zhou also stood up.
The two men's eyes met in mid-air, a fleeting spark passing between them.
Shang Wu suddenly felt overwhelmed.
"Why are you here too?"
Chen Chunzhi handed the flowers to Aying, then casually sat down on the other side of Shangwu and began to inquire about her well-being.
"I heard you got poisoned while traveling, so I rushed all the way from Lincheng to Yecheng."
"I called your brother to find out where you were, and guess what?"
Shang Wu raised an eyebrow: "What's wrong?"
"Your brother wouldn't tell me! I had to go to several hospitals to find out your hospitalization information and then find your address from the hospitalization information!"
Chen Chunzhi tried to attract all attention, like a butterfly scattering pollen.
Cheng Zhou maintained his smile, subtly displaying his thoughtfulness by pouring water and serving food to Shang Wu.
The two secretly registered their marriage, testing each other's intentions. Even the slow-witted Shang Wu could see through their feelings.
She suddenly felt a headache.
Suddenly, Chen Chunzhi seemed to remember something and laughed nonchalantly.
"By the way, Ah Wu! Tomorrow is White Valentine's Day. I've booked the best seats at the revolving restaurant. You have to come and see me off my bad luck."
Cheng Zhou replied gently but firmly, "What a coincidence, I was just about to invite Miss Shang to dinner tomorrow. I own a very quiet private restaurant with an elegant environment, which is more suitable for Miss Shang to recuperate now."
The two men looked at Shang Wu at the same time, their gazes intense, waiting for her to make a choice.
Shang Wu was extremely annoyed by the two overly enthusiastic men in front of her.
She didn't want to agree to anyone's request; she just wanted peace and quiet.
A thought suddenly flashed through her mind, and she looked at Chen Chunzhi with a troubled and apologetic expression: "I'm so sorry, I think I promised Mr. Cheng a few days ago."
Chen Chunzhi's face fell instantly, and he glared at Cheng Zhou with displeasure.
A hint of unexpected surprise flashed in Cheng Zhou's eyes.
Chen Chunzhi was disgruntled and had no choice but to leave.
Shang Wu breathed a sigh of relief, then turned to look at Cheng Zhou, her sickly face showing a hint of cunning and apology.
"I'm so sorry, I used you as a shield earlier. I don't actually want to go anywhere tomorrow, I just want to rest at home."
Cheng Zhou was taken aback for a moment, then chuckled, his gaze towards her showing even more interest.
"It's alright, it's my honor to help Miss Shang out of this predicament. You should get some rest, I'll bring the soup over tomorrow."
Shang Wu nodded repeatedly, went over and closed the door, but when she turned around, she saw A Ying's eyes shining like light bulbs.
Aying pressed further, "Mr. Shang, are you really not interested in any of them?"
Shang Wu said helplessly, "Don't make things worse. I don't want to think about relationships right now. I'm not in the mood for that."
Ah Ying stuck out her tongue.
yes.
No matter who you are, after experiencing betrayal, grudges, and breakups and reunions, you will probably be exhausted and unable to invest in relationships again.
She silently mourned for Chen Chunzhi and Cheng Zhou for a minute.
Unfortunately, Chen Chunzhi sent over the restaurant's location that very evening.
If you don't come, I'll keep waiting for you.
Cheng Zhou sent over a photo of a table full of dishes.
I'll make these for you tomorrow. If you feel bored at home, come over to my place for a meal. I'll cook whether you come or not.
Shang Wu looked at these messages and was speechless.
She tossed and turned, and suddenly thought of a way to make them both behave.
Shang Wu smiled and replied to the messages from both of them.
the next day.
White Valentine's Day evening.
Chen Chunzhi arrived at the restaurant half an hour early, looking at the dazzling city night view outside the window, waiting with full confidence.
