When Pei Shuo and Zhou Xiuran finished their discussion and returned, it was already past midnight.
He drove to the downstairs of Chen Yao's house, turned off the engine, sat in the car and looked at her window for a while before taking out his phone and sending her a message: [Yaoyao, I'm downstairs at your house now.]
After a while, the light in a room upstairs came on, and then Pei Shuo's phone vibrated.
He smiled gently and picked up the phone: "Have you gone to bed yet? I saw that the lights in your house were just turned on."
Chen Yao leisurely picked up a piece of popcorn and stuffed it into her mouth, and replied, "No, I took a nap when I first came back, but then I woke up again and couldn't fall asleep again. I was actually watching a movie just now, so I turned off the lights."
Pei Shuo understood: "Then I'll go up now, okay? I'll watch a movie with you..."
Chen Yao suppressed a smile: "Okay, then you come up."
Pei Shuo smiled, opened the car door, picked up the large bouquet of flowers and packed private dishes and snacks on the passenger seat, then locked the car and went upstairs.
This time when I went to her house, the refrigerator was not as simple as before, with only drinking water in it.
When Pei Shuo followed her to put the snacks and plum juice dumplings into the refrigerator, he was somewhat surprised to see a lot of fresh fruits.
After noticing his gaze, Chen Yao explained, "I'll be resting and relaxing at home for a few days, so I prepared some food. It's just right. I'll wash some fruit and take it out. We can eat it while watching the movie."
These fruits were picked from the space by the system. Each one is plump and round, fresh and juicy. The quality and taste are excellent. She likes them very much.
After Pei Shuo responded, he naturally rolled up his shirt sleeves and asked Chen Yao where the basket for washing fruits was.
Chen Yao waved her hand and said, "It's okay, I'll wash it, you just go sit outside and wait for me."
Pei Shuo slowly and methodically adjusted the folds of his sleeves, his movements naturally revealing a certain elegance. "It's okay, let me do it."
Chen Yao didn't refuse anymore. She walked a few steps, found the fruit basket, and handed it to him. Then she pointed to the various fresh fruits in the refrigerator that were systematically sorted and neatly arranged. "I want strawberries, blueberries, and cherries. Take whatever else you like."
Pei Shuo nodded, picked up some strawberries, blueberries, and cherries, and put them in a basket to rinse.
While washing, he asked Chen Yao, "Are you interested in freshly picked fruits? Coincidentally, the estate where my grandparents currently live has quite a few fruit trees planted, with many varieties. They've been carefully cared for, and they bear abundant fruit every year. If you're interested, I'll take you there to experience it when I have time."
Chen Yao became interested after listening to this: "If I go over there, will it disturb my grandparents?"
Pei Shuo drained the water from the fruit basket and said with a smile, "It won't disturb them. Old men and women usually get bored when they're idle, so they're just looking forward to someone coming over to play."
Chen Yao smiled and agreed: "Okay, then I'll go when I have the chance."
Pei Shuo: "Okay, I'll make the arrangements later."
As he said that, he fed Chen Yao a strawberry.
"Mmm, these strawberries are really sweet, you can have some too."
The two of them walked towards the living room while eating fruit.
Chen Yao was halfway through watching the movie, and the picture on the projection screen was paused.
