Gu Bin couldn't stand Xie Yan's mushy manner and said directly, "Alright, come and eat! Stop thanking me like that."
"There's so much to say about thanking each other between us, it would be impossible!"
Xie Yan walked over slowly, her eyes immediately drawn to the dishes laid out on the table.
The sun-dried pork belly looked incredibly appetizing, glistening with oil; next to it was a large, golden-brown, crispy chicken leg with slightly cracked skin, revealing tender, juicy meat inside.
The large pork knuckle next to it made Xie Yan's eyes widen instantly, and he was completely stunned.
The pork knuckle was quite large, stewed until tender and soft, with an enticing reddish-brown skin. It trembled slightly, as if a gentle poke could leave a small dent, and emitted a rich aroma that made one's mouth water just by looking at it.
A whole pork knuckle!
Seeing Xie Yan's surprised expression, Gu Bin laughed, "This was specially made for you by my mother. She said that you can cure a disease by its own actions, so this is something unique to you."
Xie Yan was somewhat incredulous, "I injured my buttock, not my toe!"
Gu Bin grinned and looked at Xie Yan, "Do you want a pig's butt? Fine, I'll talk to my mom when I get back!"
Xie Yan quickly reached out and pressed the person down, "Okay, okay! Very good, the braised pork knuckle is excellent, please thank your aunt properly when we get back."
"As for your butt, forget about it!"
Gu Bin teased Xie Yan, saying, "How can we let it go? Pig's butt is delicious too."
Looking at the overly active person in Beijing, Xie Yan conceded defeat, "Big brother, I'm begging you, please let me eat in peace."
Gu Bin stood up, looking down at Xie Yan sitting on the bed, and said smugly, "Fine! Since you've begged me, I'll mercifully let you go."
I was so full from the meal!
With the idea of getting familiar with the surroundings, Gu Bin and I went downstairs for a stroll.
The city of Beijing now is not much different from the one before he left, and it exudes a familiar feeling.
However, this is not where he grew up, and he is not very familiar with many places.
He wasn't familiar with it, but Gu Bin was!
The man began to explain in detail with great enthusiasm. Pointing to the left, he said with anticipation, "See that? That's the state-run restaurant over there."
"Hey, the food inside smells amazing, it's absolutely delicious!"
"Let me tell you, once you're fully recovered in a couple of days, we definitely have to go and try it."
"The taste of that food is sure to make you crave it so much that you'll never forget it after just one bite and will be thinking about it every day."
Xie Yan had just finished eating and drinking, and was feeling listless and had no interest in any food.
Upon hearing this, he didn't even bother to lift his eyelids, simply giving a soft "hmm" in response.
Gu Bin continued his enthusiastic introduction, completely unaffected by Xie Yan's words, "A little further ahead is the department store. You'll have to buy your sister-in-law and Chaochao some things that we don't have back home."
Xie Yan nodded; that was inevitable, as he was very interested in it.
Gu Bin pointed to the building opposite the department store, "See that over there?"
"Friendship Store!"
Gu Bin nodded, "That's right! That's the Friendship Store, but you need foreign exchange certificates to get in, so don't even think about it."
Xie Yan chuckled, "I didn't expect that either!"
Which eye of this person saw him thinking?!
The two strolled around for a bit and then headed back!
Xie Yan looked at Gu Bin following behind and said, "Why are you following me if you're not going back?"
Gu Bin rolled his eyes. "Apply the medicine, bro."
If it weren't for applying medicine to this guy, he would have gone home to be with his wife and daughter long ago. Who wants to go shopping with a grown man?
Xie Yan was a little embarrassed, but still stubbornly insisted, "I can do it myself without it."
Gu Bin burst out laughing, "Hahahaha, Xie Yan, I've discovered you're quite capable! You can even put it on your own butt, waaaaaah~"
Xie Yan took a quick step and covered Gu Bin's mouth, but the movement was a bit too forceful and directly aggravated the injury on his buttocks, causing him to gasp in pain!
He glared fiercely at Gu Bin, "Shut up!"
Gu Bin pried Xie Yan's hand away and jumped to the other side, shouting, "Pah! Pah!"
"A dog bites Lü Dongbin, unaware of a kind heart."
Xie Yan leaned against the wall, subtly glancing around. Luckily, no one was there. He then turned and glared at Gu Bin, "Shut up!"
Is this something you can just say casually?
How many more days will he stay here?
Doesn't he care about his reputation when others hear this?
The next morning, Xie Yan got up and washed up. Just as he was thinking of going downstairs to buy some steamed buns, he heard another knock on the door.
Xie Yan, who was immersed in a tranquil atmosphere, was suddenly startled by a series of urgent knocks on the door.
After patting his chest to calm his wildly beating heart, Xie Yan grumbled and walked towards the door.
It's most likely that guy Gu Bin; he's always so impulsive.
What are you doing here on this beautiful morning instead of spending time with your family?
As he walked towards the door, he thought to himself that he would have to give Gu Bin a good talking-to when the door opened, so that he wouldn't be so loud and boisterous next time.
However, when he opened the door, he was met with an unfamiliar face, and Xie Yan was stunned for a moment.
He looked the other person up and down, then asked in confusion, "Excuse me, sir, did you get the wrong room?"
The visitor first glanced at the door number to confirm it was correct, then lowered his head and politely asked, "Excuse me, are you Comrade Xie Yan?"
Xie Yan was slightly taken aback, his doubts deepening. Hesitantly, he replied, "Yes! What is it?"
Upon hearing this, the person's face immediately lit up with a smile, and he handed over the bag he was carrying, saying, "This is breakfast from Comrade Gu Bin. He asked me to deliver it for you!"
Xie Yan looked bewildered, subconsciously took the bag from the other person, looked up at him, and asked, "Who are you?"
The man in front of me smiled. He was tall, about 1.9 meters, with dark skin that gleamed with a healthy glow, and should have looked like someone not to be trifled with.
But when he smiled, two adorable canine teeth were revealed, instantly making his aloofness disappear without a trace.
The man explained, "I'm Gu Bin's brother. I was on my way to work and was passing by here. Gu Bin found out and asked me to bring you some breakfast."
"Take your time eating, I'm leaving now!"
He came over to see what kind of new friend Gu Bin, that little tyrant, had made.
Xie Yan: "..."
He stood there blankly, watching the man's departing figure, his mind still a mess, completely confused about what was going on. He was utterly bewildered, as if a thick fog was hanging over his head.
Opening the bag and looking at the steamed buns and milk inside, she became even more confused. Logically speaking, Gu Bin wouldn't do something so pointless!
But this breakfast was just an ordinary breakfast, nothing special.
What on earth is Gu Bin up to?!
Could it be the person who delivered breakfast?
