Chapter 6 Chapter 6 "Open it wider, it won't fit in."...
The next morning, Mi Yanyan was woken up by the alarm clock. All the pain disappeared and the bedding beside her was flat, probably because no one had used it all night.
Aunt Chen was busy downstairs, working on both stoves. She said, "Madam, please wait a moment. The porridge will be ready soon."
She comforted him, "Don't worry, your shift is late today."
Aunt Chen breathed a sigh of relief and quickly put the prepared Western-style dish into the refrigerator. Fortunately, she came early today. Shi Jingzhou suddenly said that they wanted to change to Chinese food and make eight-treasure porridge. She was so anxious that she broke out in a sweat. The coarse grains and beans needed to be soaked and cooked, so it would be safer to prepare the ingredients in advance.
When the food was half cooked, the master came down to inspect it and asked to pick out the white fungus. Aunt Chen asked curiously, "Sir, white fungus is not listed among the things that my wife doesn't eat." She had memorized the questionnaire by heart and was sure that this item was not on the list.
As the heat rose, Aunt Chen tilted her head and asked, "Madam, would you like some Tremella fuciformis?"
Mi Yanyan was startled, then saw that it was eight-treasure porridge, and replied with a smile: "Eat, eat."
Aunt Chen understood the answer while hesitating, and patted her chest. Fortunately, they were all picked up. It seemed that her husband had to update his preference list and couldn't make her, an old lady, suffer like this.
After finishing her meal, she remembered that there was no Tremella in the porridge. She wanted to explain to Aunt Chen, but then she felt her words were inconsistent, so she gave up. Tremella was one of the foods she disliked very much. Her mother didn't cook many dishes when she was a child. Mi Wenzhong loved sweet soup, and Zhang Qiaoshu had to show it off during the rare family gatherings. However, the greasy texture made Mi Yanyan feel troubled. It was a rare occasion for her parents to come home, so she couldn't say no to it. She had her own way of dealing with it.
Standing by the shoe cabinet, Mi Yanyan picked out a pair of simple silver high heels. Aunt Chen put her coat on her and said, "It's getting colder today. Are you still going to ride your bike?"
"No, I'm going to Shi's house for dinner tonight." She was nervous. It was the first time she met Shi Jingzhou's parents. She changed three sets of clothes before choosing this one. She looked left and right and was always afraid of being rude.
"Aunt Chen, is this skirt okay? Is it too short?"
The butterfly-wing blue square-neck tulle skirt had a nice waist and the hem just passed the knees. "It's not short. Mom is very fashionable. Don't worry."
These few words soothed her heart. Mi Yanyan gave Aunt Chen a light hug, which was more effective than saying thank you.
"Don't worry, I'm staying at home today. Peanuts and Popcorn are very well behaved and I can take good care of them."
After Mi Yanyan finished her dinner and saw that Jingzhou showed no sign of going home, she finally realized what Aunt Chen had said earlier. Ye Qionghua placed the fruit on the coffee table, shook her wrist, and slipped a jade bracelet on her. "It's beautiful! Grandma Jingzhou gave it to you. It fits you perfectly."
Before she could thank him, he smiled again and said, "I bought a few sets of clothes according to my preferences and put them here as spares. You can choose what to wear. Tell mom if you like anything and I'll choose it."
It must be said that this meal was much easier than she had imagined.
From the moment she entered the room, her heart was in a knot, afraid she might say or do something inappropriate. She held her chest high, her stomach in, and took slow, slow breaths. Fortunately, one of the Shi family's parents was calm and reserved, the other gentle and amiable. At the dinner table, Ye Qionghua was the one who started the conversation, mostly about trivial matters in life, so they could chat for a few minutes without feeling burdened.
The couple occasionally talked and laughed, which made their son seem even more unkind, as if he had a genetic mutation.
She couldn't refuse, so she put the bracelet on securely and whispered, "Thank you, Mom. I like it very much."
Her sweet and well-behaved look amused Shi Jingzhou, who chuckled softly, the meaning of which was hard to describe.
Mi Yanyan turned around when she heard the voice, her pointed nose wrinkled inadvertently, and her eyelashes trembled slightly, as if questioning him, "Am I not doing a good job on the surface? Why are you laughing?"
The two exchanged glances, and in Ye Qionghua's opinion, her joy was unconcealable. She was very satisfied with her daughter-in-law. It was rare to see some humanity in her son's eyes.
After dinner, Mi Yanyan returned to her bedroom. Shi Jingzhou was called to the study. Shi Ting stood on the balcony, fiddling with the flowers. Inside, Ye Qionghua was giving her usual earnest advice, "It's rare for you to come home for dinner, yet you're still late, making your wife wait here for an hour. I don't know if they say you're too busy or you just don't know how to behave."
Shi Ting sneered, and with his hands behind his back, he laughed at himself: "You're not right, we two old guys have been waiting too."
After the meeting yesterday, the old man, Shi Huaiyi, arrived at Jingzhou's R&D center early in the morning and gave it a tour with a haughty look, trying to see how capable he was to ask such a high price. He didn't argue, "Sorry, Mom and Dad, I'll be more careful next time."
"There's nothing wrong with us. It's just that Yanyan feels a little uncomfortable since it's her first time at our house." Ye Qionghua married into the Shi family at the age of 24. She could fully understand Mi Yanyan's mood today. She recalled the day she first went to the old house. In just a few hours, the knowledge she was proud of was crushed to pieces. If it weren't for Shi Ting's protection for so many years, their marriage would hardly be successful.
Shi Ting didn't want to interrupt the mother and son's conversation, but now he couldn't help but say a few words, "The Mi family is also in turmoil right now. Mi Wenzhong has evil intentions. At present, Mr. Mi can still protect Yanyan, but the future is uncertain."
"Yan Yan's mother should care about her daughter." Ye Qionghua always wanted a close-knit little girl, but unfortunately she only gave birth to a son who didn't understand the ways of the world.
Shi Ting put down the watering can and wiped his hands, saying, "It's hard to say." Then he looked at his son.
Shi Jingzhou stood aside without saying a word, just walked back and forth around the coffee table twice, which made Ye Qionghua see that he was a little uneasy.
"Go back first," she let him go and grabbed her son's hand, "Wait a minute."
"What are your instructions?" Shi Jingzhou asked in a gentle voice.
"What should I do first when I get back?" She was still a little worried.
Shi Jingzhou stood up straight, raised the corner of his mouth slightly, took off his watch, and replied honestly: "Apologize."
After saying that, he took a step forward and walked towards the bedroom.
Mi Yanyan stayed alone in her bedroom, sitting down and standing up, smoothing her skirt three times before she felt comfortable with it. She wondered if Shi Jingzhou's parents would come over. She worried it would be inappropriate and impolite, and also worried it would leak. She tossed and turned, practically dangling from her chair.
After waiting for a long time, no one came. She looked around the room. Shi Jingzhou's bedroom was simple and clean. The few ornaments on the table were all taken when he was a child. He would laugh at that time.
Shi Jingzhou knocked on the door and pushed it open lightly. Mi Yanyan immediately opened her eyes and sat upright at the desk, looking uncomfortable.
It was very different from when he was alone in Zhongshan Villa. He was curious about how this ability to switch freely was developed.
"Mom and Dad are resting. Don't be tense. Just do whatever you want." After he said that, he glanced at her, and Mi Yanyan's shoulders finally relaxed.
His mouth remained in the same place, "It's not tight, I'm fine." As he spoke, his feet quietly came out of the slippers and curled up and fell on the carpet.
Her thin, white feet, painted with translucent milk tea-colored nail polish, looked very soft today, unlike the day she held them in her hands. He unbuttoned his shirt cuffs and asked calmly, "Would you like to shower first?"
It's not like the two of them had never been in the same space before. The bedroom in Zhongshan Villa was bigger than the Shi family's. She and Shi Jingzhou both tacitly chose to use different bathrooms. Suddenly, when they switched to sharing a room, the atmosphere became inexplicably tense.
Mi Yanyan stood up carefully, not forgetting to lower her head to check the cushion. It was clean, and she immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
She opened the closet and picked out a pair of pajamas. "Then I'll wash it first. It will be quick. Please wait a moment."
"No rush." Before Shi Jingzhou could finish his words, she had already run into the bathroom.
The hot water soaked her hair and her eyes went dark - there was only one piece of daily use left in her bag.
I hurriedly washed off the foam on my body and opened the bathroom cabinet, but wow, there was nothing.
Shi Jingzhou had just turned on his computer when he heard someone calling him. The voice was soft and hazy. He walked towards the bathroom and replied, "What's wrong?"
Mi Yanyan stood behind the door, holding a bath towel, with only a small gap open, "Can you give me your phone?" She was not sure if the takeaway could be delivered to Shi's doorstep. There was still a long distance from the community to the villa, but the property here was excellent, so it shouldn't be a problem.
Shi Jingzhou thought of the look she had just taken when she stood up, and then he reacted.
"I'll go buy it."
"Ah? No, no, I'll just order takeout."
"Put on your clothes, the air conditioning in the room is on low." After saying that, there was the sound of a door closing. Mi Yanyan blushed and peeked outside, but he had already left.
A moment later, the door opened again. The fog in the bathroom had almost dissipated, and the frosted glass outlined the figure inside. Shi Jingzhou raised his hand and knocked on the door.
There was another small gap, and he said helplessly: "Open it wider, it can't fit in."
Mi Yanyan stood in the bathroom for too long, feeling dizzy. She caught sight of the largest plastic bag in the supermarket and had to open the door halfway. Shi Jingzhou hadn't expected the gap in the door to suddenly widen, inevitably facing the person inside.
Her cheeks were rosy, a white towel was wrapped around her chest, her hair was half-dried and scattered on her shoulders, and her plump, moist lips whispered to him, "Thank you."
The door closed, and he unbuttoned two buttons of his shirt, feeling a little short of breath.
Mi Yanyan was holding the plastic bag, not knowing whether to laugh or cry. This was for incoming goods.
One can imagine Shi Jingzhou holding the shopping basket and staring at the shelf in a daze. Soon, he started throwing things in, aiming to take down all the targets.
Picking out a pack of comfort pants, she tore open the Velcro and put them on.
This is good, it will definitely not leak, it covers all sides, and you can have a good sleep.
I happily picked up the pajamas my mother had prepared and unfolded them. I was immediately stunned. All I could hear was Aunt Chen's words:
It's not short, it's very fashionable for mom, don't worry.
It was so reassuring, the suspenders were so short that they could barely cover her pants. She looked in the mirror and was a little thankful that her period had come in time, otherwise.
Shi Jingzhou sat on the sofa. The screen in front of him kept going out of focus, and the air conditioner kept dropping in temperature, but to no avail.
The bathroom door opened, and a little white rabbit emerged from a cloud of white mist, staring at him timidly. He quickly looked away, giving the little white rabbit time to sprint to the bed.
The noise on the bed stopped, and he put down his computer and walked quickly to the bathroom.
Very good, he also forgot to bring anything and didn’t take any spare clothes. After thinking for a few seconds, he pretended to wash his hands, pushed the door open again and went back to the bedroom.
Mi Yanyan had never expected that he would come back. She was sitting on the edge of the bed applying body lotion, one of her white and smooth legs was bent, and the moisturizing and fragrant cream was shining brightly on her skin.
The two looked at each other, and both felt as if they had seen delicious food in the forest.
