Suppressing her nervousness, she tried her best to appear less embarrassed.
She glanced at Gu Yao out of the corner of her eye. She had only intended to open the box and hand it to Gu Yao, but she hadn't expected him to make such an overly intimate gesture.
The sudden silence made the air incredibly awkward, let alone for Zhou Chunhua.
"I must say, your cooking skills are really good." Gu Yao broke the silence with his voice, then turned to her with his mouth open, gesturing for her to continue feeding him.
Zhou Chunhua quickly handed over the steamed bun in her hand, letting Gu Yao take a bite.
This time, however, she deliberately kept her hand away from Gu Yao's lips.
“Um… it would be more convenient for you to eat it yourself,” she said.
Gu Yao shrugged: "Sorry, I use this hand to steer and this hand to shift gears from time to time. I'm sorry for getting your hands dirty, otherwise we can stop eating for now."
"Aren't all cars these days automatic?" Liao Nanxing and Nana's cars are both automatic.
“I’ve had this car for over ten years, I’ve grown attached to it, and I’ve never been willing to replace it.”
Gu Yao's composed demeanor made Zhou Chunhua feel utterly ashamed.
The other person was simply too busy; it was she who had too many inexplicable thoughts.
So she held the last few buns in her hand and put them directly to Gu Yao's mouth.
"Eat quickly. Once you get to the law firm, you won't have time for breakfast."
Gu Yao smiled and opened his mouth, and she fed him the small amount of steamed bun in her hand.
Then they handed over the straw cup for the soy milk as well.
"Huahua, you're such a good person at taking care of people."
Hearing Gu Yao's praise, Zhou Chunhua gave a wry smile.
She took care of Liao Nanxing for over twenty years, learning to make steamed buns and fried dough sticks, learning to cook all sorts of Jiangshi-style dishes, and learning to make sweet and smooth soy milk from various beans...
For over twenty years! Liao Nanxing didn't even offer a word of praise, let alone express his gratitude.
It was as if she was born to take care of him. He accepted it as a matter of course.
It's laughable that all those years, she always thought Liao Nanxing was a cold-on-the-outside-but-warm-on-the-inside person who wouldn't say those pretty words, but definitely loved her in his heart.
Looking back now, Liao Nanxing was nothing more than an extremely selfish and stingy person.
"Can I have another one?"
"Huh? Yes, yes, it's possible!"
Coming to her senses, Zhou Chunhua quickly grabbed another steamed bun and held it to Gu Yao's mouth.
As Gu Yao ate, he praised Zhou Chunhua's cooking skills.
At first, Zhou Chunhua was just in a great mood from the compliments, but later she became so embarrassed by them.
After getting off the car, Gu Yao exaggeratedly ate a soy milk in one hand and a steamed bun in the other, completely disregarding his image as he went up the elevator.
Fortunately, Gu Yao always arrives early, and there weren't many people in the law firm.
After Gu Yao finished the bun in his hand, he took another one from the lunchbox she was holding.
As she turned around, she bumped into Wen Yu, who was coming out of the office.
Gu Yao ate his steamed buns and walked forward, while Wen Yu looked curiously at the lunchbox in Zhou Chunhua's hand.
Feeling the gaze on her, Zhou Chunhua handed the lunchbox to Wen Yu.
"Minister Wen, would you like to try one?"
Just as Wen Yu was about to raise his hand, Gu Yao coughed twice: "Minister Wen likes sandwiches and doesn't like oily food."
As soon as he finished speaking, the last steamed bun in the lunchbox fell into Gu Yao's hands.
Wen Yu walked straight past her without saying a word.
But...did Minister Wen just give Gu Yao a disapproving look?
Once inside the office, Gu Yao immediately closed the door.
I put the soy milk on the table and took out my phone to snap a bunch of pictures.
The world's best steamed buns and soy milk.
The caption features close-ups of steamed buns and soy milk.
Back on his WeChat friends list, he opened the pinned chat window: "Could you bring me breakfast again tomorrow?"
Upon receiving the message, Zhou Chunhua raised an eyebrow and replied, "Shouldn't we eat breakfast at home? It's inconvenient on the swaying car."
Actually, she was afraid of running into acquaintances on the street, which would have a bad influence on Gu Yao.
After all, he's not married yet!
It's still necessary to avoid any potential conflicts of interest.
Zhou Chunhua thought Gu Yao might not reply to her messages because he was angry, but to her surprise, her phone rang again the next second.
Upon opening the message, I saw that Gu Yao had replied with "Okay".
She smiled and shook her head; Gu Yao was sometimes like a child.
Without giving it much thought, I got back to work.
I've gotten used to the job after a week, and now I'm doing it quite well.
It's not that she's particularly capable, but rather that her job is genuinely not difficult.
To put it simply, anyone who has all their limbs intact and isn't mentally challenged or stupid can do it.
When she left work in the afternoon, she deliberately left earlier than usual.
After all, always being seen with Gu Yao would have a negative impact on him.
Just as he was about to step out the door, Gu Yao's voice came from behind him: "Let's go together."
"No, it's okay, I can take the bus downstairs to the subway station."
As she turned around, a stack of documents fell into her arms.
"I'll explain these documents to you on the way here. You'll have to work overtime tonight to finish them."
Zhou Chunhua's eyes twitched: "Can't we do it tomorrow?"
"No." Gu Yao replied decisively.
So she got into the car with Gu Yao again.
She just had a feeling that Gu Yao seemed to be angry.
But... he seemed so happy before, why did he suddenly get angry?
On the way back, Gu Yao talked to her about those documents.
He hadn't finished talking even after he entered the parking lot downstairs from his apartment building.
"How about we go upstairs and sit down to talk?"
It's really uncomfortable to use your knees as a table in the car.
"Okay. Just a moment." Gu Yao said, taking out his phone as if to send a WeChat message.
Zhou Chunhua said apologetically, "Is someone at home waiting for you to go back? Otherwise, you can tell me again tomorrow, and I'll try to do it as quickly as possible?"
"I live alone."
Gu Yao put down his phone, picked up the documents next to her, and got out of the car.
Zhou Chunhua quickly followed and entered the elevator.
Then, as soon as she stepped inside, her phone rang.
It was Juliana calling.
As soon as the call connected, I heard Nana's plaintive voice: "Huahua, don't wait for me to come back for dinner. I don't know how late I'll be working overtime today."
"What's wrong?"
"That damn client! We clearly agreed the contract wouldn't be out until tomorrow, but what got into him? He insisted on seeing it today. If it weren't for the money, I would have fired him already!"
"Work is important. I'll cook you something delicious when you get back tonight."
"Waaah, it's so nice to have flowers."
After hanging up the phone, she buried herself back in the pile of documents and got busy again.
Nana works so hard for her and Nini, so she has no right to be lazy.
When she looked up, she realized that Gu Yao was actually in the kitchen.
Zhou Chunhua looked blankly at him. What did this mean?
She's working overtime... and he's cooking?
