Chapter 22 I'll take care of your three meals a day, okay...?
The person Gou Qing was just thinking about was outside the door.
Yan Yuehe looked up with a bright smile, her face radiant with sunshine: "In-law, are you free today? I'm off..."
“Let’s go together when we’re free,” Gou Qing replied impatiently before she could even finish speaking.
Yu Zhi appeared behind Gou Qing carrying a laptop bag, and without hesitation exposed her brother's weakness: "Brother~ weren't you going to the company? I've already found your laptop bag~"
Yan Yuehe peeked at Yu Zhi and said, "Huh? Are you going to work? Never mind, I can go for a walk by myself."
Gou Qing smiled and turned around, then stomped hard on Yu Zhi's foot.
Yu Zhi let out a scream, almost dropping Gou Qing's laptop bag to the ground. Only in the face of death did he manage to restrain himself, put the laptop bag on the ground, and then began to roll around hugging Gou Qing's feet.
Because Gou Qing was blocking the doorway, Yan Yuehe could only see Yu Zhi, who was originally behind him, suddenly disappear and then scream. She asked, "What happened to Yu Zhi?"
She took a step forward, placed her hand on the door, and tried to look, but Gou Qing blocked her way.
Gou Qing tried to capture her entire attention: "He's fine, and I don't have any work to do. Wait for me to change my shoes, and then we'll go walk the dog."
Yan Yuehe didn't think much of it and said, "Okay."
Atlas's health condition prevents him from going out for the time being, and it's also not suitable for him to meet with Pangbao.
So their dog-walking routine turned into simply walking Fatty Bao.
Fatty Bao's bad habit of rushing around recklessly hadn't changed, so Gou Qing took the leash from Yan Yuehe's hand and firmly held onto Fatty Bao, who wanted to rush forward but always failed today.
Fatty was so angry that he turned around and barked loudly.
No one paid any attention to the dog that had gone crazy and couldn't see its wife.
Gou Qing couldn't suppress the corners of her mouth from turning up: "Why are you back today?"
"Because I really wanted to see you." Yan Yuehe had just received guidance from Ms. He Yanli and was now incredibly strong. She moved closer. "You said you wanted to pick me up tomorrow, wasn't it because you wanted to see me?"
Gou Qing's dark eyes followed her: "Yes."
I want to see her, I want to hug her, and I also want to... hold her hand.
Although the two were walking side by side, there was still a distance of about ten centimeters between them.
Yan Yuehe hadn't thought about holding hands at all, but Gou Qing had, though he couldn't find an opportunity to hold her hand as she would occasionally raise her hand to make gestures.
Nevertheless, his mind, which had been wandering all morning, had finally settled down.
After taking Pangbao around the lake, Gou Qing turned to her and asked, "Did you eat before coming back?"
Why does time fly by so fast!
Yan Yuehe said anxiously, "I haven't eaten yet. Have you eaten? I need to find a restaurant that can cook quickly so I can take pictures of my mother's lunch."
She estimated that Ms. He Yanli would come to ask her around 1:30 at the latest.
At this moment, Gou Qing suddenly grasped her waving hand, his voice steady and reliable: "It's alright, don't worry."
Yan Yuehe didn't realize anything was different. She even shook the hand that was holding hers: "My mom asked me to take pictures of her lunch, but I was so eager to find you as soon as I got back that I completely forgot about it."
"It's okay, I can cook quickly." Gou Qing led her towards home. "I'll make you a simple bowl of noodles in ten minutes, and then I'll make you other dishes after you take the photos."
The two of them suddenly sped up their walking pace, and Fatty, who had already gotten used to the slow pace, followed clumsily behind.
"Woof woof woof".
People don't treat dogs like dogs at all. When they want to go fast, they deliberately pull the leash, and when they want to go slow, they drag the dog along. Are they just playing with the dog?
Still, nobody cared.
Even after Gou Qing returned home, the first thing he did was hand Pang Bao's leash to the person who had previously killed its eggs: "Yu Zhi, take it outside to play, and don't let it get close to Atlas."
Fatty, who had been struggling with the rope, suddenly became obedient.
Yu Zhi instinctively took the rope first: "I'm a veterinarian, of course I know they can't see each other right now."
Thus, Dr. Yu, who had been shouldering a heavy responsibility, went from taking care of a family of four dogs to taking care of a family of five dogs.
But this time, it's confirmed that his brother will provide meals.
Yan Yuehe followed Gou Qing into the kitchen, and it wasn't until he let go to wash his hands that she realized the two of them had been holding hands the whole time.
She felt a little embarrassed, but quickly calmed down.
Practice makes perfect. Anyway, they're already together. Holding hands is nothing to make a fuss about.
While Yan Yuehe went out of the kitchen to get her phone, the water in the pot was almost boiling.
Gou Qing cooks noodles in one pot and stir-fries toppings in another; he's fast and his movements are strangely graceful.
When Yan Yuehe ate here last time, she was too embarrassed to look at it for long.
This time, she openly followed Gou Qing like a little tail, occasionally exclaiming in surprise, and even asking, "My dear in-law, can I film a short video of you cooking for my mom? I won't film your face."
Gou Qing looked at her calmly: "You can take pictures."
Yan Yuehe immediately raised her phone and pointed it at Chef Gou's demeanor.
"But..." Gou Qing hadn't finished speaking.
Yan Yuehe tilted her head behind her phone, revealing her eyes: "But what?"
In the shot, Gou Qing's hands never stopped moving, while off-camera, Gou Qing tilted her head like she was deliberately trying to be cute: "Am I so ugly that I can't be taken out in public? Why don't you film my face?"
The camera swayed, flashing across his face in a fleeting moment.
It then rolled onto the ground.
The kitchen floor is tiled, so the sound of a phone being dropped on it is still quite loud.
Yan Yuehe's phone had a soft case on the outside and had been dropped a few times at home, so she wasn't overly worried that it would break.
The sound of bubbling water echoed in the kitchen. Gou Qing stirred the dough with tongs, still watching her, waiting for an answer.
Yan Yuehe raised her hand and fanned her face, which was gradually turning red.
"Because you are so beautiful, I want to keep you as a treasure and admire you with my own eyes."
Seeing that Pangbao was having fun playing alone in the yard, I decided to let it out.
Although autumn is approaching, Dr. Yu, who spends most of his time under air conditioning, couldn't stand the heat. He observed Pangbao indoors for a while and only went to the kitchen after seeing that it had adapted.
"Brother, I'm starving! Brother, I'm so hungry!" Yu Zhi kept saying this to Gou Qing. "Begging for food, give me some food now."
After turning the corner and walking to the kitchen door, he discovered that Yan Yuehe was also inside.
"Yuehe, are you hungry too?" Yu Zhi didn't notice the unusual atmosphere between the two. "It's so hot in the kitchen, why don't you go outside and wait? My brother cooks very quickly."
"Mm." Taking advantage of Yu Zhi's words, Yan Yuehe bent down to pick up her phone and walked out.
After she left, Yu Zhi immediately grabbed a pair of chopsticks, itching to fill his stomach first: "Brother, let me taste it for you to see if it's salty enough."
Gou Qing, carrying the pot, walked around his chopsticks and gave him an impatient look: "Get lost."
Yu Zhi said sadly, "Brother, you'll lose me if you keep doing this."
Gou Qing said coldly, "You've already lost me."
What a clueless third wheel!
Yan Yuehe sat on the sofa and silently watched the chaotic video she had just filmed.
Although that wasn't her original intention when she started making the video.
However, Yan Yuehe still managed to take a screenshot of Gou Qing carrying the pot from the video and send it to Ms. He Yanli as a way to appease her.
"Lunch is being prepared."
"My dear mother, please be patient."
Ms. He Yanli was probably waiting for her message on her phone, and she replied with a thumbs up instantly.
I don't know if they're praising the cooking skills or something else.
Yan Yuehe was too embarrassed to ask. After Gou Qing brought out the bowl, she took a picture of the tempting noodles and sent it to him, finally completing her task.
Fortunately, Yu Zhi's slurping sounds eased Yan Yuehe's shyness.
Gou Qing was still in the kitchen, busy adding two more dishes for Yan Yuehe.
Yu Zhi finished a bowl of noodles in three minutes. He held the empty bowl and looked at the untouched noodles in front of Yan Yuehe: "Yuehe, why aren't you eating? Don't you like noodles?"
Before Yan Yuehe could answer, Yu Zhi was slapped on the back of the head.
Gou Qing placed the freshly cooked dish in front of her, then said to her foolish younger brother, "She's waiting for me. Do you think everyone is a reincarnated starving ghost like you? If you're not full, go get some from the pot yourself, don't just stare at what's in Yuehe's bowl."
Yu Zhi was used to his brother's attitude towards him, and when he heard there was still some in the pot, he immediately took his bowl to scoop it out with great joy.
Gou Qing sat down opposite Yan Yuehe.
Both of them ate slowly and deliberately, completely unlike Yu Zhi.
Yan Yuehe realized last time that her in-laws were good cooks, but she never expected that they could make noodles in ten minutes so delicious.
Before she knew it, Yan Yuehe's bowl was more than half empty.
"How is Auntie planning to help you recover?" Gou Qing suddenly asked.
Yan Yuehe swallowed the food in her mouth, her watery eyes looking a little pitiful: "I went to see a traditional Chinese medicine doctor and bought a lot of extremely bitter Chinese medicine to treat myself. It was really incredibly bitter medicine." It was like eating bitter melon on an empty stomach.
"Can we cook it here too?" Yu Zhi interjected. "The kind of Chinese medicine packets prescribed by the Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital should be able to be drunk after just being heated."
"Yes..." Yan Yuehe said somewhat shyly, "but my mom thinks I won't take my medicine obediently..."
She has difficulty taking her medicine.
Gou Qing understood; that's why her parents called her home to keep an eye on her.
"Then why did I ask you to take pictures of your meal and send them over?" Yu Zhi was there when she took the pictures, so he casually asked her why she was taking pictures.
Yan Yuehe lowered her head even further: "Because I used to eat irregularly, my mom made sure I ate properly every meal in order to supervise me."
She inexplicably felt a little ashamed.
"From now on, I'll take care of your three meals a day, okay?"
Author's Note: Yu Zhi: Bro! I want you to take responsibility too!
