Zhang Shiyu nodded very seriously, her eyes revealing a resolute look. "I want to give it a try. If Gu Che really rejects me, then I'll give up."
Although Yu Yuehui was surprised, seeing Zhang Shiyu's determined eyes, she nodded without hesitation. Of course, she would fully support her good friend's decision.
Moreover, she had started treating Xie Yan very well and pursuing him relentlessly after she took a liking to him, so she had absolutely no right to advise her best friend not to pursue him.
However, since Shiyu has decided to pursue her master, she still needs to see his attitude.
She was still somewhat worried that Zhang Shiyu was blinded by her own imagined love.
"My master and Master Xie Yan will be coming over for dinner later, so don't go back. Stay and eat with us."
"I'll take this opportunity to observe and see what my master's attitude towards you really is. Also, don't rush into pursuing him. He's right here, so there's plenty of time. Let me take a good look at him first, and then we'll make a decision."
After hearing what Yu Yuehui said, Zhang Shiyu gradually calmed down and realized that what she said made sense. "Okay, you can take a closer look later to see if it's just my imagination."
Yu Yuehui nodded in affirmation.
At this moment, the sky outside was as blue as a jewel, and the warm winter sun shone on the courtyard, gilding everything with a golden glow.
As soon as Gu Che entered the courtyard, he saw Zhang Shiyu, who was so beautiful in the sunlight that she looked almost unreal.
He paused slightly, a fleeting hint of tenderness flashing in his eyes. Although his face remained expressionless as always, his originally cold and aloof demeanor seemed to have subtly changed, like an iceberg showing signs of melting under the warm sun.
Xie Yan's lips curled up slightly when he saw this scene.
There's hope!
Sure enough, after all the steaming hot dishes were served, what happened next almost blinded Xie Yan.
Gu Che remained expressionless, but his gaze unconsciously fell on Zhang Shiyu.
A person who used to eat very quickly has now not only slowed down his eating speed, but has also been taking care of Zhang Shiyu the whole time.
He stretched out his chopsticks, picked up a piece of tender fish, and skillfully removed the fish bones one by one, his focused expression as if he were doing something extremely important.
Then, he gently placed the deboned fish meat into Zhang Shiyu's bowl. The whole process was natural and smooth, without any sense of incongruity.
Zhang Shiyu's face flushed slightly, and a faint smile played on her lips, but she ate naturally.
There was absolutely no discomfort.
From her expression and actions, it was clear that this wasn't the first time the two of them had interacted like this; everything seemed so familiar and natural.
Before Xie Yan could recover from the shock of what he saw, his vision blurred, and when he looked down, he found a piece of fish meat with the bones removed in his bowl.
Xie Yan turned his head in a daze and saw Yu Yuehui looking down, intently picking at something.
Seemingly noticing Xie Yan's gaze, she looked up and gave him a bright smile.
Xie Yan: "?"
He was filled with questions. What was going on? Why was his wife suddenly trying to find fault with him today? But at the same time...
Could it be that she saw Gu Che nitpicking at Zhang Shiyu?
But, but he should have been the one picking it out for her!
Xie Yan unconsciously poked at the meat in his bowl, a smile in his eyes that he himself was unaware of. At the same time, a sweet feeling quietly spread in his heart, like a babbling brook flowing through his soul.
Looking up, she saw the large prawns in front of her. She picked out the biggest one, peeled it, and put it in Yu Yuehui's bowl.
Whatever others have, his wife must have too!
Yu Yue looked at the shrimp in the bowl, a smile playing on her lips. She placed the selected fish meat into Xie Yan's bowl and began peeling the shrimp again.
Xie Yan had only been drinking water for a short while when she looked down and saw half a bowl of peeled shrimp.
Forehead!
He turned to look at his wife with a hint of helplessness, and sighed almost imperceptibly. His wife really was as fast as ever at doing everything!
Yu Yuehui had no idea about Xie Yan's mixed feelings at that moment. She saw Xie Yan staring at her master and Shi Yu with an envious look in his eyes. He must have envied Shi Yu for having someone pick fish bones for her.
She couldn't stand Xie Yan's envious look. What was there to envy? She hadn't noticed before, but from now on, she would take care of Xie Yan's problems!
So he specially selected the fattest piece of fish, carefully removed all the bones, and put it into Xie Yan's bowl.
Sure enough, Xie Yan's eyes were filled with emotion.
Then, somehow, the table started to fill each other's plates with food.
Zheng Hedong sighed silently as no one offered him any food, a hint of envy in his eyes.
Young people! They have so many tricks up their sleeves.
Look at this table of people, they're all in couples, and he's the only lonely old man there. He feels isolated by the sweet atmosphere.
Looking down, I saw Chaochao eating heartily, her little mouth glistening with oil.
oh!
We forgot about the little guy who knows nothing but eating, and he's been ostracized too!
But it doesn't matter, the father and son can also team up to isolate them.
Suddenly, Zheng Hedong's eyes lit up.
He also picked up a piece of fish with his chopsticks and patiently picked out all the bones one by one. After he finished, he was still not satisfied and checked it carefully several times. Only after confirming that there were no bones did he smile and give it to Chaochao.
Chaochao was enjoying her meal when she suddenly saw fish falling from the sky. She thought it was her parents who had given it to her.
She looked up and saw it was Grandpa Zheng. Her eyes crinkled into crescent moons with laughter, and she immediately thanked him sweetly, "Thank you, Grandpa Zheng. You should eat too."
That crisp sound, like a spring breeze, blew into Zheng Hedong's heart.
Zheng Hedong laughed heartily, as if he had found his own little world.
Hmph, let those two couples over there enjoy their sweet time eating. He and his grandson Chaochao need to eat quickly and finish all the good food.
After the meal, Xie Yan was filled with doubts once again.
Judging from the level of importance Gu Che attaches to Zhang Shiyu, it's completely unlike what Zhang Shiyu said before, that she had no intention of dating!
During the meal, Gu Che took meticulous care of Zhang Shiyu, and the concern and care he inadvertently revealed in his eyes were impossible to hide.
Moreover, the way Gu Che and Zhang Shiyu get along is as tacit as a married couple who have been married for many years. With just a glance or a gesture, they seem to be able to understand each other's thoughts.
Thanks to them, Xie Yan also truly experienced the happiness of being cared for meticulously by his wife.
Yu Yuehui felt the same way. She and Xie Yan exchanged a glance, and in that instant, they understood what each other was thinking.
