Lu Ti has prepared dinner.
There are three ways to cook oxtail: stew it in soup, braise it, or make it sweet and sour.
In the evening, there was a bone feast.
To avoid making the food too greasy, Lu Ti also served several small dishes of pickled vegetables that she had made herself.
Ye Qingyan enjoyed her meal very much.
Zhen Tian was quite happy.
"Hey...can you eat shrimp?" Ye Qingyan asked suddenly as she lay on the sofa after eating and drinking her fill, with Zhen Tian sitting next to her.
"What's wrong? It should be okay, right?" Zhen Tian wasn't sure either.
"It's okay. When I got home, I found some Boston lobsters that my dad brought back in the fridge. Since no one's been eating them at home, I had them cooked and delivered. Let's have lobsters tomorrow."
"Let your uncle keep it for himself..."
"What's there to leave for him? He's had all sorts of good food." Ye Qingyan waved her hand, made a phone call to the maid at home, and then happily told Lu Ti and Zhen Lei.
The next morning, when there was a knock on their door, they finally learned just how big the Boston 'giant' lobster Ye Qingyan had mentioned really was.
Zhen Lei and Lu Ti stared blankly at the lobster, which was almost half the length of their 10-person dining table.
"Good morning, Mr. Zhen and Mrs. Lu." Ye Qingyan yawned as she came out of the bedroom. "Oh, it's here. I'll go wake Tian Tian up."
The chefs in Ye Qingyan's family are all top-tier. They cook every edible part of a lobster, from claws to tail, using different and most delicious methods.
Zhen Tian was also stunned when she came out.
Two large lobsters covered the table.
The four of them sat down and started eating.
As she finished eating, Zhen Tian was still a little dazed. She never thought that one day eating shrimp of this quality would feel like chewing wax.
I'm so full, I can't eat anymore.
Two shrimp, shared among four people, with more than half a shrimp remaining.
That's enough to show how big the lobster is.
Feeling completely satisfied with her meal, Ye Qingyan even wanted to go back and take a nap.
Zhen Tian shared the same thought.
But Lu Ti stopped her: "You can't just sleep after eating. Come on, I'll take you out for a walk."
After the two changed their clothes and came out, there was another tall and burly man, Brother Ji, in the room.
After Zhen Tian and Ye Qingyan greeted their brother and uncle, they got into the car that headed to the mall.
Lu Ti was overthinking things. Ye Qingyan had spent so much money on Tian Tian, so as an elder, she couldn't just leave without showing any appreciation.
So, accompanied by a group of henchmen, they went on a shopping spree at the mall.
At first, Ye Qingyan was too embarrassed to refuse, but later she got so carried away while shopping that she wanted to buy everything she saw.
The bags in the hands of the older brothers and uncles kept piling up. The grown men looked at each other and understood what despair was.
...
Ji Yuzhi returned to S City, and the first thing he did upon seeing his boss was to apologize.
"I'm sorry, I've delayed the department's work. I have no complaints about any punishment." He was even prepared to be fired.
How is your fiancée?
"There's no danger to his life; he's recuperating at home," Ji Yuzhi said truthfully.
"Let's talk about the mistakes later, and now let's discuss how to handle this..."
The leader led him through four meetings in a row.
After the meeting ended, preparations for the press conference began immediately.
Busy as a spinning top.
Zhen Tian felt tired just sitting in her wheelchair shopping with everyone, let alone those who were helping out with their legs and hands.
Ye Qingyan was taking a shower, and Lu Ti and Zhen Lei were too exhausted to even pack up their spoils, so they went straight back to their room to sleep.
Zhen Tian leaned against the headboard and called Ji Yuzhi on her phone.
The phone rang many times, but no one answered.
Zhen Tian stopped fighting and quietly scrolled through Weibo.
It's been six days since the earthquake. This news has also been trending on social media for six days.
Previously, due to the disaster, there was a flood of prayers and well wishes online.
But as things gradually calmed down, the rescue work also progressed smoothly.
Once things calmed down, everyone's gossip instincts kicked in again.
[Please be gentle: Why do I feel like I saw Ji Da Lao (a popular streamer) in the broadcast?]
Netizens now affectionately call Ji Yuzhi "Boss Ji," a term that is both domineering and down-to-earth.
[Loving you is my own business: Hey upstairs, you're not the only one who thinks this way. My friends and I have been digging into those videos for days. That's Boss Ji.]
[Mind your own business: [Link] Go in and see how Boss Ji cried.]
In a short time, Ji Yuzhi's name once again became a trending topic.
Zhen Tian also clicked on the link.
The link leads to a video, an enlarged video, in which a man who stood tall and straight as a pine tree is seen kneeling on the ground, breaking down and crying in despair during the building collapse.
Zhen Tian immediately recognized the man in the video as Ji Yuzhi.
She watched it over and over again, then sadly exited the video.
The comment section outside also saw a heated discussion because of this link.
[Silly Rabbit: This must be what they mean by loving the people like one's own children.]
[Big Eater Cheese: I almost cried too, Ji Da Lao's crying was so moving, his empathy is amazing, much better than those celebrities.]
[Belalalala: What's there to compare? Which celebrity has ever experienced such a grand occasion? Of course, they couldn't act it out. Genuine emotion is what's most touching.]
[This user is a fake: Regardless, although Boss Ji is young, he is truly a man of action, and we should be happy to have such a leader.]
[Here's a little something sweet: Yes, we're so happy to have a leader like that—handsome and well-mannered. He's practically a representative of the nation.]
Seeing that all she read were compliments about Ji Yuzhi, Zhen Tian put away her phone and stopped looking at it.
Feeling unsettled, she took out her graphics tablet and started sketching and scribbling on it.
Ye Qingyan finally came out after taking a shower for an hour.
With a smile on her face, Zhen Tian looked over, about to say something, when she saw the woman wearing headphones chatting happily with someone inside.
Ye Qingyan crawled onto the bed, her girlish demeanor obvious.
"Um... I just finished taking a shower."
Something was said on the other end that made Ye Qingyan laugh so hard she was practically jumping up and down.
Zhen Tian clicked her tongue, shook her head, looked away, and continued drawing on the board.
Not long after, her phone rang.
"Hey, Zhizhi, are you done with your work?"
This time, she revealed a smile even more charming than the woman next to her.
Ji Yuzhi felt exhausted and had developed a low-grade fever again, his head was dizzy, but the moment he heard Tian Tian's voice, he seemed to feel much better.
"Yeah, I'm done. What are you doing?"
"It's nothing, I was just drawing. Have you gone home yet?"
"No, I'll be back in a bit."
Zhen Tian glanced at the clock on the bedside table: "It's so late and you're still not home?"
"Yes, there's a lot to deal with."
"So, what did the higher-ups say about you abandoning the press conference and running away?" Zhen Tian had also watched the video of that press conference, so she should already know that she was in the epicenter of the earthquake.
Otherwise, my hands wouldn't be shaking so badly.
