Chapter 284 You're panting like that, bro!
He was so close that Jia Zhenzhen could see the fine hairs on Chen Zheng's face. He was a grown man, yet his face was smooth and delicate, without a single pore.
This made Jia Zhenzhen's face turn even redder.
But she was never one to run away from problems, and besides, she really had feelings for Chen Zheng, so she naturally wouldn't let the opportunity slip away.
Having figured out her own feelings, Jia Zhenzhen looked up at him, her face flushed but her eyes bright: "Yes! I do!"
After answering that question, Jia Zhenzhen felt her heart pounding like a drum, and her ears were ringing. She couldn't even hear what Chen Zheng said, but she saw him break into a big smile, so she smiled too.
Yay! She has a boyfriend now, so I don't have to eat Sui Sui and Yun Yi's PDA anymore!
The commotion on Jia Zhenzhen's side naturally did not escape the eyes of Qin Suisui and the others. Seeing that they had become a couple again, the group couldn't help but clap and celebrate, attracting many passersby to watch.
In the end, even Jia Zhenzhen, who was "thick-skinned," felt a little embarrassed, and everyone drove away together.
The jeep that Chi Donglin and Song Yunlai drove could not fit so many people.
Chen Zheng was only a platoon leader and didn't have the authority to apply for a vehicle, but fortunately, Division Commander Jia knew when his daughter would be returning and sent a bodyguard to pick her up. Chen Zheng hitched a ride with Division Commander Jia's bodyguard.
After a round of laughter and joking, the group got into their respective cars and left.
Liang Qi had already left with Da Liu after arriving at the dock and saying goodbye to Qin Suisui and the others. Something must have happened in the black market; they left in a bit of a hurry. However, Qin Suisui had already arranged for them to have mutton hot pot together at her home that evening.
While changing boats in Guangzhou, they happened to encounter an old farmer secretly carrying mutton to sell on the black market. Qin Suisui was looking for an excuse to take out the mutton from her spatial storage. Seeing that the weather was getting colder, it was the perfect time for mutton hot pot. So, Qin Suisui simply bought a few pounds of meat from the old farmer.
Qin Suisui didn't say exactly how much she bought, so no one knew.
After arriving home, Qin Suisui went to wash up first, while Pei Jiuyan dragged his two nemesis brothers to clean the house. They hadn't been home for a while; Zanzan had been staying in the dormitory with Chi Donglin and the others, so the house was unoccupied and covered in a layer of dust.
Qin Suisui originally wanted to help, but as long as Pei Jiuyan was home, she basically wouldn't get to do these kinds of tasks. Chi Donglin and Song Yunlai also urged her to rest, so Qin Suisui couldn't refuse anymore.
Soaking comfortably in the bathtub, the warm water soaking through her entire body, Qin Suisui sighed contentedly, "Home is the most comfortable place!"
When she finished washing up and came out, the house had already been cleaned up by three grown men and a little boy. Pei Jiuyan was about to take a shower and then cook, but Qin Suisui stopped her. She would cook tonight!
Actually, cooking doesn't require much preparation. She has pre-sliced lamb in her space; all she needs is a copper pot filled with water from the stream in her space, some scallions, ginger, and red dates, boiled together to make the broth.
Qin Suisui went to the vegetable garden again and picked a lot of green vegetables. She hadn't been back for a month, and the garden was now full of vegetables. Water spinach, chives, rapeseed, and spinach were growing very lushly, and loofah, bitter melon, winter melon, and pumpkin were also laden with fruit.
Qin Suisui picked some leafy greens that could be used for hot pot, then took out mushrooms and wild vegetables she had picked from the mountains of Yunnan Province from her luggage bag—actually, from her spatial storage—and washed them clean. Finally, she also dragged out a large ham.
Chi Donglin's eyes lit up the moment he saw the ham: "Wow! This must be a Yunnan ham! It looks really good. How are we going to eat this, little sister?"
"We can slice it thinly and eat it in hot pot, or we can slice it and steam it. Either way is fine."
In the end, everyone unanimously decided to just have hot pot!
When Pei Jiuyan finished washing up and came out, Qin Suisui had already prepared all the dipping sauces. She already had a lot of homemade dipping sauces in her space, such as sesame oil, sesame paste, cumin powder, and barbecue powder. This time when she went to Yunnan Province, she also brought back a lot of Yunnan specialty dipping sauces. So tonight's dipping sauces were very plentiful, and everyone could adjust the sauces to their liking.
Around six o'clock, Liang Qi finally finished her business and arrived, carrying a bag of things.
Qin Suisui asked curiously, "Didn't I tell you not to bring any food? I've prepared enough for everyone."
Liang Qi shoved the bag into her hand, waved it off, and hurriedly drank a cup of tea before panting and saying, "It's not food, it's Yunnan Baiyao and some other specialty medicines from Yunnan Province. I thought you might be interested, so I brought some back."
Qin Suisui's eyes lit up upon hearing this. She had been in a rush at the beginning of her trip and had kept Pei Jiuyan's instructions in mind, so she dared not go out. Therefore, she only picked some local herbs on the mountain and did not manage to get any of the special herbs from Yunnan Province!
"You're panting like this carrying such a small amount of stuff, you're not doing well, bro!" Chi Donglin patted Liang Qi on the shoulder and joked with a smile.
Liang Qi finally calmed down a bit and waved his hand, "That's not it! Someone was chasing me from behind!"
Seeing the curious look in Qin Suisui's eyes, Liang Qi said helplessly, "You know that person too, it's Zhang Mingzhu, whom we met in Guangzhou before!"
Qin Suisui thought for a moment before remembering: "It's that woman from the port city?"
Liang Qi nodded, muttering to himself, "Didn't I remember she said she was going back to Hong Kong? How come she suddenly appeared on our island again?"
Qin Suisui was also puzzled, but seeing that Song Yunlai and Chi Donglin were curious, she recounted how they had been arrested in Guangzhou and how they had escaped and encountered Zhang Mingzhu.
It was only when she got to this point that she remembered she had a bunch of "black-on-black" products in her online space!
"By the way, what happened to those people who kidnapped us? Didn't you say you wanted to challenge your black market?" She looked at Liang Qi.
Liang Qi sneered: "Dream on. I heard they lost a shipment of goods, and there was something important in it. They insisted that the dockworkers were responsible, but the dockworkers denied it, and the two sides fell out. In the end, not only did their new business fail to open, but their old business also failed."
Qin Suisui was secretly surprised. The pile of things she had collected seemed to be just ordinary black market goods. Could it be that she had also taken something important? She needed to find an opportunity to search her space properly.
The meal lasted until after 9 p.m. The men gathered together and had so much to talk about. If they hadn't had to go to work the next day, they probably would have continued chatting.
Qin Suisui was too tired and went back to her room to rest with Zan Zan long ago.
After traveling for so long and arduous journeys, it was still most comfortable to be back in her own bed, and Qin Suisui quickly fell into a deep sleep.
I don't know what time it was, but in my hazy state, I felt the bed next to me sink in, and the next second, I was pulled into a firm embrace.
