"Okay, since you have something to do, then let's leave it at that."
"Let's have dinner together next time."
Li Dongyang hung up the phone and stared at his phone screen for a long time.
Xia Nuan had said last night that she only had work in the morning today, and seeing that it was almost 5 o'clock, she couldn't help but send him a message.
"What are you doing?"
This is Xia Nuan's habitual phrase; I don't know if it's because she's seen it so often that she's gotten used to using it too.
Li Dongyang waited for a long time but Xia Nuan did not reply to his message.
I wondered if something had happened to her.
A phone call was made.
Xia Nuan was not supposed to work at noon.
Several sponsors had offered to provide Xia Nuan with dresses, but she refused.
Using other people's clothes is troublesome; if you accidentally step on them or break them, you'll have to pay for them.
If it's your own, you can build it however you want.
Xia Nuan understood this very well.
She just doesn't like being restricted.
"Hello!"
"What's wrong?"
After a moment of silence, Li Dongyang asked on the other end of the phone.
"Didn't you say you only had work in the mornings?"
Yes, that's right.
"I was planning to go to your place right after get off work, but something came up at the last minute."
"The New Year's Eve dress that Sister Jing helped me order has arrived, I need to go try it on."
"We're on our way to the custom shop right now."
"Did you call just to ask about this?"
"I was just asking casually."
"Would you like to come over for dinner tonight?"
Xia Nuan paused for a moment.
That evening, it's still unknown, but after trying on the dress, Li Jing said she had other things to do at the company.
"We'll see how things go tonight; my schedule is pretty full right now."
"Oh well."
Li Dongyang rarely calls her first, so she was a little unaccustomed to his sudden call.
"So you called just to say this?"
"No, I just wanted to ask if you wanted to come over tonight so I could cook some extra rice," Li Dongyang explained.
"No need, I'll eat at the company tonight."
"If you really want to ask me out, let's choose tomorrow."
Li Dongyang: "......"
He just wanted to ask Xia Nuan if she wanted to come back for dinner; he didn't think much of it.
"Alright, since you've taken care of me these past few days, what do you want to eat tomorrow?"
"I haven't decided yet, I'll talk about it tonight."
"I'm going to drive now, I can't talk to you anymore."
Xia Nuan pressed a button on her Bluetooth earphone.
She has a habit of not talking on the phone while driving, but after hesitating for a while when she saw that it was Li Dongyang calling, she still answered.
After all, answering a phone call while driving is distracting and very unsafe.
Xia Nuan won't be back at night.
Li Dongyang had originally bought a lot of vegetables, but he only symbolically selected three or four items.
However, these are all dishes that Zhou Hao likes to eat. After all, you can't just cook all the dishes that you like when someone comes to your home as a guest!
5:30 p.m.
The doorbell rang suddenly; it was undoubtedly Zhou Hao who had arrived.
Li Dongyang opened the door wearing slippers.
Zhou Hao was wearing a black jacket, had his hair slicked back, and was carrying two boxes. One box contained wine, and the other contained supplementary supplies for Li Dongyang.
"Knock knock, Yangyang, hurry up and open the door for Grandpa."
"Don't I look handsome today?"
Zhou Hao made a gesture of supporting his forehead with his hand, which looked quite comical.
The funniest thing was that he even asked Li Dongyang if he was handsome.
"Handsome, super handsome, so handsome it's unbelievable."
"The door's open, why aren't you coming in?"
"There's food cooking in the pot, get your shoes yourself."
After opening the door for Zhou Hao and exchanging a few words, Li Dongyang returned to the kitchen.
The food was burning in the pot and it burned easily if you weren't careful.
He didn't have that much time to sit with Zhou Hao at the door.
"This is my dad's wine. I heard it costs over 100,000 yuan a bottle. I've never tasted it and don't know what it tastes like."
"This is for your feet, take it quickly so they will heal faster."
"Let's go out and have some fun together during the New Year."
Li Dongyang and Zhou Hao were high school classmates, and their families lived not far apart.
It takes 20 minutes by car and 40 minutes by bus.
"By the way, I was so annoyed last night, do you know why?"
"That young lady kept asking me where I work, and I knew something was wrong as soon as I saw that."
"It's obvious he wants to hit on you."
"You think I would betray my brothers like that?"
Li Dongyang raised an eyebrow. "If you've got your eye on someone, just say so. Don't keep saying it's for the sake of your brothers."
Zhou Hao's little secret was immediately exposed by Li Dongyang, and he chuckled awkwardly a few times.
"Besides, I'm different from you; it's a genetic issue."
"Some people are born with a lustful nature."
"Some people are very devoted in love, and I think that's just a physical thing."
"It's like a program that's been pre-programmed for you."
Zhou Hao pouted, placed the two boxes on the dining table, and nodded. "I didn't realize you'd become such a philosophical master in just a week or two."
"I was just saying it casually."
"The food is ready, take it out."
"Don't just sit around now that you're here. How can you ask an injured person like me to cook for you?"
Li Dongyang's words made Zhou Hao chuckle, "Actually, it's okay if you don't cook. There are so many hotels downstairs, you can eat at any of them. I don't need that little bit of money."
"Actually, I just wanted to taste the flavor of your cooking."
Li Dongyang: "......"
Hearing this, he felt a little disgusted.
"Get lost, that's disgusting, it gives me goosebumps all over."
