...
Zuo Fugui and Song Yue also witnessed the scene in the kitchen, unable to hide the deep amusement on their faces, especially Zuo Fugui who was grinning from ear to ear.
Isn’t this nice? A happy marriage, and our sister-in-law seems easy to get along with.
"Hey, what do you make of this?" Zuo Fugui sidled up to Song Yue, nudging him with his elbow and waggling his eyebrows in the direction of Lu Nanchen and Yu Ting.
We were initially worried about Brother Lu getting married, about him being overly strict with his wife. But now, that doesn’t seem to be the case.
He won’t even let her touch cold water when she’s just recovered from her fever.
As someone who has known Lu Nanchen for over a decade, I know what this means: he’s fallen for her. This realization warms my heart, it isn’t easy after all.
Song Yue gave a laugh and put his glass back on the coffee table, "It’s pretty good, but there’s likely to be some friction."
"Huh?" Zuo Fugui turned his head towards him, confused.
"Which woman do you think could tolerate Brother Lu like this in the long-run?" Song Yue chuckled, "Isn’t he acting like a nanny right now?"
Cooking, cleaning, earning money, teaching lessons, taking meticulous care of others.
He’s basically a handsome nanny.
But in a relationship, it’s not all about these things.
There’s love too.
Love is the most important thing.
Everything about him is great, except that he’s too reserved, he hides his emotions too much.
Zuo Fugui pondered Song Yue’s words for a moment and started nodding. The more he thought about it, the more he agreed. Suddenly, he had a bright idea and sat upright, shouting towards the kitchen, "Heat the water then."
I’m such a genius.
I not only resolved the issue of sister-in-law having to touch the cold water, but also found an opportunity for those two to foster their bond in the kitchen.
"..."
"Zuo Fugui, you wash."
There was a moment of silence in the kitchen before Lu Nanchen’s indifferent voice broke through.
Zuo Fugui, who was already worn out from his morning trip and grocery shopping: ...
...
In the end, it was Lu Nanchen and Zuo Fugui bustling in the kitchen, while Song Yue and Yu Ting sat quietly on the living room sofa, occasionally chatting. By the time lunch was ready, it was already 12 o’clock. There were four or five dishes on the table.
All washed by Zuo Fugui, then chopped up by Lu Nanchen.
Lu Nanchen sat at the head of the table, with Yu Ting next to him and Song Yue and Zuo Fugui facing them from across the table.
Everyone remained silent as they ate, without much conversation.
Ding ling ling.
The ringtone of Lu Nanchen’s phone sounded from his jacket pocket, breaking the silence of the house with a standard built-in tune.
Halting his eating and standing up, Lu Nanchen walked over to the couch and took the phone out of his pocket.
Incoming call: 181xxxxxxx
Staring at this completely unfamiliar number, Lu Nanchen swiped right to answer, fearing it might be something important.
"Hello Mr. Lu, we are from Four Tigers milk powder company. Our company is currently running a promotion. Buy two cans get one free, $100 off a $400 purchase, and lots of benefits for member orders. Would you be interested?"
A classic telemarketing opener.
"No need." Lu Nanchen responded decisively and hung up. On his phone screen, two messages from the number 183xxxxxxx appeared.
[I’m back.]
[Let’s meet.]
Lu Nanchen:?
Who is this?
"Bro, what’s up?" Seeing Lu Nanchen standing in the living room, Zuo Fugui called out.
Lu Nanchen put the phone back in his pocket, straightened out his jacket, and returned to his seat on the couch.
"Nothing, just a scam call and a phishing text."
