"Alright, Lao Zhang, don't be angry anymore. I'll make the arrangements on Monday when we start work."
"We rarely get a break, how about we go for a walk?"
Zhang Wenbing shook his head. If He Qin found out he was drinking, she would probably beat him up from both ends.
He waved his hand and said, "Next time, not these next couple of days."
Li Songbai gave an impression of understanding.
He simply saw through it but didn't expose it. "Alright, don't worry about Dongyang's matter. His script is a good script; gold will always shine."
......
When I returned to the neighborhood, Xia Nuan was no longer there.
I muttered to myself, "Are all celebrities elusive and mysterious?"
Li Dongyang ordered a barbecue and several bottles of beer online.
It's really hard to erase someone's memory from your life. Whenever he has free time, he'll think of Shuang. This is a hurdle he can't get over.
My heart is filled with bitterness.
At night, he only turned on the hallway light, making the entire living room somewhat dim.
Li Dongyang sat on the sofa, eating barbecue and drinking beer, watching the most thrilling suspense film of the moment.
Perhaps only in this way can he forget everything.
Around 9 o'clock.
Li Dongyang, who was quite drunk, received a phone call. A kind voice came from the other end of the line, "Son, tomorrow is your birthday. Remember to go out and have something good to eat. Mom transferred a thousand yuan to you, please accept it. By the way, Mom is coming to your place next Sunday on some business. What would you like to eat?"
The person making the call was a middle-aged woman with a pleasant demeanor. She was Li Dongyang's mother and worked as a manager at a foreign trade company.
I called Li Dongyang because I was on a business trip and happened to be here, so I stopped by to see how my son was doing.
I'd heard before that he had a girlfriend.
I was thinking of coming to see my future daughter-in-law.
After hanging up the phone.
Li Dongyang continued drinking his beer; at this moment, only alcohol could numb everything.
He drank himself into a stupor.
The next morning.
Li Dongyang opened his eyes and found himself lying in bed, with the curtains swaying gently in the breeze.
He didn't remember when he entered the bedroom.
He patted his somewhat sullen head and got up.
The living room was very clean, clearly tidied up, and the windows on both sides were open.
Did I do these things last night?
He doesn't remember.
He rubbed his eyes, shook his head, and glanced around out of the corner of his eye.
A beautiful figure stood on the balcony.
It goes without saying that it was Xia Nuan.
Hearing the commotion in the living room, Xia Nuan turned around and looked at Li Dongyang, who was standing there, his face expressionless.
"You're awake?"
"There's a packaged hot porridge on the table,"
"Eat it while it's hot; it's good for your stomach."
Li Dongyang looked at the woman standing in front of him with some unease; she was completely different from the woman he had been a few days ago.
Xia Nuan left the balcony.
She walked in, her slippers clattering softly, her expression indifferent.
There was no sign of any disturbance.
Li Dongyang simply responded with an "oh".
This woman is quite adorable when she doesn't boss people around.
The two sat at the dining table, in the same spot as before, one at each end of the table.
After finishing breakfast, Xia Nuan looked up and quietly gazed at Li Dongyang.
This made Li Dongyang feel a little uncomfortable.
"Is there something on my face?" Li Dongyang asked, touching his cheek in confusion.
Xia Nuan shook her head.
"Then why are you looking at me like that?" He saw the same pitiful, stray dog-like expression he used to have in this woman's eyes.
Xia Nuan pursed her lips and asked calmly, "Did you break up with your boyfriend?"
Li Dongyang was slightly taken aback. "How did you know I'm heartbroken?"
Xia Nuan: "I can see with both eyes that you've broken up with your boyfriend."
"She cried like a pig being slaughtered last night."
"Also, you look really ugly when you cry!"
Li Dongyang: "......"
He shouldn't have praised that woman.
Not cute at all.
Xia Nuan didn't want to dwell on the issue anymore, so she changed the subject, "I thought that someone with a heart of steel like yours would never be in a relationship."
Li Dongyang: "......"
Was this woman sent by God specifically to target him?
What does it mean to have an iron will?
He couldn't drink the porridge anymore. Now, after Xia Nuan said that, Li Dongyang felt that he had no appetite at all.
Standing up with the fast food container in hand, he said, "My heart is made of flesh and blood. I'll be good to whoever is good to me."
Xia Nuan: "And then you got dumped?"
Li Dongyang was speechless again.
"Isn't breaking up a normal thing? Why are you so insistent on holding me back?"
"Have you never been in a relationship?"
Xia Nuan stood up and handed the fast food box in her hand to Li Dongyang, saying, "Take this and throw it away too." Her tone was as if Li Dongyang were her slave.
"By the way, I'm having lunch here, so please cook something simple!"
"Steamed hairy crab, braised shark fin, Hakka salt-baked chicken, Longjing shrimp, and a chicken soup with cordyceps."
"The chicken soup shouldn't be too greasy. Skim off the oil on top to avoid getting pimples and making it unsuitable for appearing on camera."
After saying that, he got up and went to his room.
There was a different sign on the door sometime during the day, and this one was a little better than the last.
The word "landlord" was missing; only "dogs are not allowed" was displayed.
Li Dongyang was speechless.
Also, his understanding of "simple" is just instant noodles, okay?
Xia Nuan didn't come out all morning.
The door was closed, and I had no idea what she was doing inside.
Li Dongyang was too lazy to care.
There are still some vegetables in the refrigerator.
The kitchen utensils have all been replaced with new ones.
Compared to before, the kitchenware Xia Nuan bought was indeed much more high-end.
