The car stopped downstairs of Lu Zhiyuan's house, which was also our former wedding room.
I sent Lu Zhiyuan home, and Li Tao followed closely behind for my safety.
When I pushed open the door, the huge house was cold and empty. Perhaps because no one had lived there for a long time, the house lacked the air of home.
It was dinner time and people were preparing dinner upstairs and downstairs.
The aroma of food drifted in from the window, immediately reminding Lu Zhiyuan.
He took the initiative to invite me: "Xiao Shan, stay and have dinner with us."
"No thanks." I refused. "You should clean up yourself. I guess you haven't had enough rest in the police station these days. Just eat something and go to bed early."
"No." Lu Zhiyuan grabbed my wrist, as if afraid I would disappear, and made up a story, "When I was in the police station, I heard that after I got out, I had to cook for myself to get rid of bad luck."
I frowned. "Where did you hear all this nonsense? How come I didn't know you were so superstitious?"
"This isn't superstition. It's for a good omen." Lu Zhiyuan said to me seriously, "You can't bear to see me continue to have bad luck, right?"
As the boss of a technology company, he can even make up such nonsense.
I was really helpless, and finally I gave in.
I walked into the kitchen and opened the refrigerator. It was empty except for two cartons of milk.
Lu Zhiyuan immediately closed the refrigerator door and pushed me into the kitchen: "Check if there's any missing seasonings first. I'll go downstairs to buy some groceries!"
As if he was afraid that I would refuse again, he turned and ran out after he finished speaking, completely lacking his usual composure.
I was stunned, and faced with the arrangements I had made, I could only sigh helplessly.
Thinking that he didn't even have a bodyguard around him, I was still a little worried, so I told Li Tao: "You go with him."
Li Tao agreed and turned around to catch up with Lu Zhiyuan.
I closed the door, walked into the kitchen, cleaned the rice cooker that hadn't been used for a long time, and went to get rice to cook.
I reached out to open the rice bucket, but suddenly stopped.
It has been so long since our divorce, and I moved out a long time ago, but some things in the house are still in their original locations.
I couldn't help but think of the days when I cooked with Lu Zhiyuan.
He always insists on eating what I cook, and then helps me with the cooking.
No matter what I cook, whether it tastes good or not, he will praise it highly.
Thinking back on it now, I can’t help but smile.
Not long after the meal was cooked, the door was opened and Li Tao and Lu Zhiyuan walked in together.
I walked out to see what they had bought, and when Lu Zhiyuan saw that I was still there, there was obvious excitement in his eyes.
He said to me as if showing off: "I bought a lot of vegetables, all your favorites."
His expression at this moment was like a child waiting for praise. He picked up the bags very actively and went to the kitchen to work.
I walked towards the kitchen, but he pushed me out.
"You rest in the living room, I'll do it, and you just wait to eat."
Seeing how we were interacting, Li Tao was a little confused. Perhaps he felt like a light bulb, so he asked me awkwardly, "Miss, why don't I go wait in the car?"
"No need." I stopped him, "I don't treat you as an outsider. Sit here for a while and wait for us to eat together."
Li Tao has always tried his best to protect me, and I have long regarded him as one of my own.
Li Tao was moved when he heard me say this.
He looked at me and hesitated to speak.
I frowned and told him clearly, "Just say whatever you want to say. I don't want you to hide anything from me."
