Shen Yanming knocked on Ji Kangyong's door and found him eating a bowl of instant noodles.
Shen Yanming frowned. "Why are you only eating this?"
"I don't want to do it anymore!" Ji Kangyong said indifferently.
"Don't tell me this is how you've been spending your time!" Shen Yanming pushed Ji Kangyong aside and went straight to his family's storage room.
Sure enough, there were several empty cardboard boxes inside, all filled with various kinds of instant noodles and dried noodles.
"Oh, why are you so angry? I'm just a little lazy and don't want to cook. Tell me, I'm so tired after a long day of work, I really don't want to do anything after work."
Ji Kangyong explained, "Besides, we don't have many vegetables at home!"
As Ji Kangyong spoke, he opened the door to his own vegetable garden. Shen Yanming peeked out and exclaimed, "My God! How did you raise them? Half of them are dead or injured!"
"Wait here, I'll go home and get you some vegetables." Shen Yanming sighed, then left the house before Ji Kangyong could stop him.
Bi Qiaoan was laughing heartily at her phone in bed when she heard someone come in.
She quickly muted the phone, and after confirming it was Shen Yanming, she asked, "Why are you back so soon? Are you done asking?"
"No, that guy doesn't say anything about not having any food at home. He's been eating instant noodles by himself for who knows how long."
"Seriously? He could have just told us to send him some food. He knows we have plenty of groceries at home!"
"He probably doesn't want to rely on us all the time; men still have some pride."
Bi Qiaoan curled her lip after hearing this, "That's not very timely pride..."
Shen Yanming didn't reply, but smiled and went to the vegetable room.
After picking most of the tomatoes, cucumbers, and eggplants, I took out extra crucian carp and tofu soup from my spatial storage.
Bi Qiaoan called out as she watched Shen Yanming leave, "Take a bowl of chives with you. He can usually make a stir-fry of chives and eggs without much effort."
Shen Yanming thought it made sense, but he had a lot of things in his hands, so it was a bit difficult to carry them.
Bi Qiaoan was about to get out of bed to help deliver it when Shen Yanming quickly said, "Don't move, I'll run it again."
Bi Qiaoan nodded, "Alright then."
So after delivering vegetables and fish soup, Shen Yanming carried downstairs a bowl of chives and a bowl of tomatoes.
Because these two dishes go best with eggs, and Ji Kangyong has no shortage of eggs.
After Shen Yanming came down to the ninth floor, Ji Kangyong hurriedly stepped forward to take the two flowerpots and then carried them into the vegetable room.
"You're already being generous by bringing me a bowl of fish soup, but you also sent me so many vegetables! I know you meant well, but you should also consider how I, a single person, don't want to cook!"
"If you don't want to cook alone, just find someone to cook with," Shen Yanming said.
"Who are you looking for, Zhang Heping? He's busy as a bee all day long, he only stayed at home for a few days before going back to work!"
Don't let his constant complaints about not eating or drinking well fool you; when he's home alone, he's probably doing better than me.
Shen Yanming gave a noncommittal "hmm". Zhang Heping was alright when he was alone, but after he came back last time, he didn't even want the potatoes from that half-acre plot anymore.
She said she doesn't usually live at home, so the food would just go bad if given to him. She insisted that Shen Yanming and Bi Qiaoan eat it, and if all else failed, she would make it into potato noodles for him.
Shen Yanming couldn't refuse, so in the end he could only leave the potatoes at home and send them to him when he needed vegetables.
However, when the topic of being single came up, Shen Yanming asked, "How's that thing I told you this morning? Have you taken a liking to that girl or not?"
"I've never even met her, so how can I say whether I like her or not!"
"You didn't leave your contact information with them? You've known each other for a year, you should be somewhat familiar with each other by now!"
“I told her when she asked last year, and then she messaged me twice, but I didn’t reply, and we haven’t been in contact since. I thought she had long forgotten about me.”
"Then let me tell you, that young lady is still thinking about you. What do you think?"
Ji Kangyong looked at Shen Yanming and said helplessly, "Yanming, to be honest, we both have secrets. Do you think it's appropriate to just pick any woman?"
Moreover, knowing that life will be tough in the future, can such a delicate young girl adapt?
Although I'm marrying a wife, I don't want to find one who will hold me back!
"You can't judge a person solely by their appearance. Who knows, Li Yueya might be the kind of person who appears weak on the outside but is strong on the inside?"
Besides, how many girls in the world are as delicate as Qiao An, yet I still pamper her, don't I?"
“You’re different. The two of you have been friends since childhood.”
"Old Ji, take my advice. If you think it's okay, go for it. Even if it doesn't work out in the end, don't have any regrets because you never even started."
It's true, as you said, that life is tough these days. But have you ever considered that while girls like her still exist now, what about in the future? As times get worse, where will you find a girl who is both pure (this word is for the sake of the story, please don't take it too seriously) and has you in her heart?
Ji Kangyong paid no attention to the second half of the sentence, only hearing the first part, "Will the harvest get worse and worse?"
"You can't find the key point!"
Shen Yan glanced at Ji Kangyong and said, "Who knows what the future holds? But don't you think about how much has happened in the past two years? Some things even Qinghe Alliance doesn't know about. What does that mean? Don't you know?"
"The information about the Zhang family's daughter is not entirely accurate!"
"Yes, who can say for sure what the future holds? We must consider the worst-case scenario."
Like me, while everything is still relatively stable, Joan and I quickly put having a baby on the agenda, just in case something unexpected happens in the future and we don't even dare to have a child.
So, if you don't want to stay single, you'd better hurry up. It's not that I necessarily want you to be with Li Yueya, but I just want you to put more effort into finding a partner.
Ji Kangyong listened attentively to Shen Yanming's earnest words, nodded, and said, "I understand. I'll try to date her, and if it really doesn't work out..."
"Neither Joan nor I will blame you. Compared to others, we value you more! No matter what happens in the end, your happiness is the most important thing!"
Ji Kangyong laughed after hearing this, "Okay, I feel relieved to hear that."
After Shen Yanming and Ji Kangyong had a good talk, Shen Yanming was about to go home, but Ji Kangyong stopped him just as he was about to say goodbye.
"It's getting colder, I'm worried about the chickens, shall we go and bring them back?"
Shen Yanming hadn't even thought of this before, and asked in surprise, "Where are you raising them?"
Ji Kangyong pointed to a bedroom and said, "I just need to keep it tidy up a bit!"
Shen Yanming nodded, "Wait for me to go upstairs and put on a warm coat!"
