"Mom, what brings you here?" Lin Yue quickly welcomed her mother-in-law in.
"I came here especially to bring you some chicken soup. I had Zhang Ma make it, and it took her a lot of time," Zhou Lirong said with a smile as she walked into the house.
"Thank you, Mom. We were planning to go back to see you in a couple of days." Lin Yue took the thermos and placed it on the dining table.
"Mom, would you like some herbal tea? I'll make you a cup."
"Yueyue, you don't need to bother anymore." Zhou Lirong quickly stopped her, "Your dad is still waiting for me to come home. If I go back too late, he'll get anxious and upset."
As she spoke, she walked towards the door. Lin Yue hurriedly changed her shoes and followed, preparing to go downstairs to see her off.
Zhou Lirong reached out and stopped her, "Good girl, don't see her off. It's windy outside. When you have time, bring your husband home for dinner so we won't keep nagging you."
Lin Yue nodded obediently, "Okay, Mom, we'll go back in a couple of days."
"Okay, remember to drink the soup while it's hot. If you like it, Mom will bring you more next time."
"Thank you, Mom. It'll definitely taste good," Lin Yue said with a smile, waving goodbye.
After watching her mother-in-law leave, she hurried to the study...
As the elevator went up and down, Zhou Lirong had just stepped into the elevator when the other elevator door slowly opened, and Song Yunzheng stepped out.
As soon as he entered the house and changed his shoes, he saw Lin Yue running over to greet him from the study like a little monkey.
"Honey, you're back~" Her sweet little voice softened Song Yunzheng's heart.
"Honey, you're off work so early today!" she said, eagerly taking his coat and helping him hang it up.
"Well, I don't have much to do today. I'll come back early and cook for you."
Lin Yue pushed him into the bathroom. "Today, you should rest well. I'll cook for you, okay?"
She tilted her head and winked at him playfully.
"You cook?"
In an instant, Song Yunzheng's mind flashed her "masterpiece": burnt eggs, mushy porridge, a messy countertop, and the smell of natural gas filling the room...
"Yeah, so what? You look down on me?!" Lin Yue put her hands on her hips, looking defiant.
He smiled and quickly explained, "Of course not, I just don't want you to inhale the cooking fumes, it's bad for your health."
After washing and drying his hands, he pinched her cheek, turned and went into the bedroom. He changed into clean home clothes and headed to the kitchen.
Lin Yue grabbed his arm, preventing him from leaving.
"What's wrong?"
Faced with his question, Lin Yue's lips parted slightly, as if she had a thousand words to say, yet they were stuck in her throat. Her gaze fell on him, as if she wanted to see into the depths of his heart through his eyes.
The bottle of medicine in her pocket felt like it was burning hot, burning her heart. It was medication for difficulty falling asleep. She found out. Had he always had trouble sleeping? Was it because he was too tired from work?
Upon reflection, her concern for him was far less than one ten-thousandth of his concern for her.
"I want to cook for you..."
"No." He was adamant.
"I want it!"
"Why do you suddenly want to cook? How about I take over when I can't cook anymore?" His tone was tinged with helplessness, as if he were talking to a spoiled child.
“Then let’s start today!” Lin Yue met his gaze without backing down.
When her stubborn temper flared up, Song Yunzheng was completely helpless and sighed, "Fine, then I'll just cook some plain noodles, nothing else."
He had already conceded a step, and Lin Yue naturally accepted it gladly.
"No problem. Oh, by the way, Mom just brought over some chicken soup. Here it is on the table. You can drink it later."
Song Yunzheng glanced back at the thermos on the table and breathed a sigh of relief. She knew she could put the noodles in the chicken soup later and her dinner would be taken care of.
Then, the clattering and banging sounds coming from the kitchen terrified Song Yunzheng, who watched from the doorway. He tried several times to rush in and help, but Lin Yue pushed him out like a fly.
Helpless, he could only stand anxiously at the door, wondering what had gotten into this girl. He had heard her talk about cooking before, but never like today, with such a resolute attitude. She was like someone who wouldn't give up until she hit a brick wall; once she said she was going to do it, she had to do it.
After a while, Lin Yue came out with a bowl of noodles whose name she didn't know.
"Honey, try it!"
Looking at the noodles in front of him, Song Yunzheng was both amused and exasperated. The noodles were overcooked and very soft, topped with a few scallions and egg flowers, and of course, eggshells...
He scooped out the still-intact noodles, placed them in a small bowl, and pushed it in front of Lin Yue, saying, "This is yours."
Fortunately, the chicken soup wasn't just soup; it also included a whole chicken, with large, meaty pieces. We ate the stewed chicken with clear broth noodles, and that's how we had dinner.
In the dead of night, Lin Yue sat leaning against the headboard, clutching the small medicine bottle in her hand.
"What are you looking at?" Song Yunzheng came out of the bathroom and saw Lin Yue staring blankly at something in her hand.
Lin Yue hesitated again and again, finally biting her lip and holding the medicine bottle in front of him. "Honey, is this medicine yours? Why is it on the bookshelf? Why is it so high up?"
Song Yunzheng paused for a moment, his expression showing a struggle, then he walked over and sat down next to her, pretending to be relaxed.
"I just left the medicine for Dad lying around, and I forgot where I put it after a few days. Luckily you found it for me, otherwise I would have had to go to the hospital to get a new bottle."
He reached out and took the medicine bottle, clutching it in his hand.
"Didn't you eat it?" Lin Yue's eyes widened.
Song Yunzheng pursed his lips and gently shook his head. "No."
