I calmed down in the bathroom and then walked out.
As soon as I entered the living room, I smelled the aroma of food.
Lu Zhiyuan had already heated up the food and placed it on the table. When he saw me coming out, he waved at me and said, "Come and eat!"
Three dishes and one soup, all made according to my taste.
I sat down and ate in silence, trying to put aside the embarrassment that had just occurred.
"Eat slowly." Lu Zhiyuan poured a cup of hot water and handed it to me.
I thanked him, took the water and drank two sips. I saw that although Lu Zhiyuan was holding the chopsticks in his hand, he hadn't touched the rice in his bowl at all.
I was stunned for a moment and urged him: "Why don't you eat?"
"I like watching you eat." He put a piece of meat in my bowl, "Eat more. You've lost weight recently."
I didn't know whether to laugh or cry. Compared to me, he was the one who lost weight.
In the Ming family, Mingsi has always taken good care of me, but he, who is alone, always treats me casually.
I put a piece of food into Lu Zhiyuan's bowl with my chopsticks, and said in a domineering tone: "Eat it quickly! Otherwise I will suspect that you poisoned the food."
Lu Zhiyuan gave me a helpless smile, nodded and ate obediently.
After dinner, I took the initiative to help clear the dishes and wash them.
As soon as I turned on the faucet, Lu Zhiyuan pulled me aside.
"Your hands are not meant for washing dishes."
"You worked hard to cook, so of course I have to wash the dishes, otherwise it would be unfair to you." I reached out to grab the dishwashing sponge.
Lu Zhiyuan pushed me out of the kitchen, muttering, "There aren't always fair things. It's the man's job to take care of the woman. Go get some rest."
I couldn't persuade him, so I had to give up.
At night, Lu Zhiyuan slept in the guest bedroom, leaving the master bedroom to me.
Perhaps it was because I was so exhausted from the past two days, or perhaps it was because the familiar environment gave me a sense of security, I fell into a deep sleep not long after I lay down.
This night was a rare peaceful one.
The next morning, I was woken up by the ringing of my cell phone. I opened the screen and saw that it was an unfamiliar number.
I answered the call suspiciously and put the phone to my ear.
"Hello?"
"Good morning, Lan Shan."
I suddenly woke up and sat up.
"Jin Shu?" I frowned, "What do you want?"
Jin Shu chuckled and asked me provocatively, "Lan Shan, do you like the surprise I gave you?"
My heart sank. The surprise she was talking about was the explosion?!
"You're the one who arranged this!" I was seething with rage, gritting my teeth in hatred. "Where is Che Xiaofeng? Where did you take him?"
Jin Shu just laughed arrogantly: "So you can also be so panicked and helpless!"
I bit my lip, suppressing my anger. "Jin Shu, Che Xiaofeng is just a child. He knows nothing. Why did you involve an innocent child?"
"You are such a kind-hearted person! You care so much about a child who has no blood relationship with you. No wonder Yan Meng likes you."
Jin Shu's words made me feel uneasy. Then I heard a loud noise, followed by Che Xiaofeng's cry for help.
"Let me go! Sister, sister, save me, I'm scared..."
My heart suddenly tightened, and I wished I could confront Jin Shu face to face.
I told myself to stay calm and not panic.
At least we can prove that Che Xiaofeng is still alive. As long as he is alive, there is a chance.
