"Yuan Kai!"
As soon as he opened the door, before he could even take off his gear, Fu Yuankai felt a figure as swift as the wind, carrying a familiar scent of gardenias, rush into his arms.
Before he could even close the door, the man, who was still standing in the entryway, quickly hugged the girl who was running towards him.
"I thought you weren't coming back! It was so dark, it looked like it was going to rain soon. I didn't expect you to actually come back. I'm so happy, so joyful!"
Tang Ning's excited voice rang out continuously. Her hands, which were wrapped tightly around his waist, exerted great force, but she always kept the strength within a range that would not make him feel uncomfortable.
As she spoke, Tang Ning's small, palm-sized face also lifted up.
It was at this moment that Fu Yuankai, who was holding her, noticed that the corners of her eyes were slightly red and there was a hint of water on her eyelids, as if she had cried from joy and excitement. Even so, when facing him, she always had a bright smile that was almost too bright.
Seeing her like this, Fu Yuankai realized just how much the person in front of him was looking forward to his arrival and how happy she was to see him.
Perhaps it was the warm light from above, or perhaps it was the girl's bright smile, but Fu Yuankai's heart couldn't help but flutter.
He subconsciously raised his hand and ruffled the other person's slightly tousled hair, then released his embrace and laughed, "I'm back now, aren't I? Okay, stop standing here. I drove all the way back from four o'clock and haven't eaten yet. What's for dinner?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Fu Yuankai saw Tang Ning, who was standing in front of him, quickly lower her head, clench her hands together and twist them together with considerable force, until her fingers turned white.
What happened?
Fu Yuankai grabbed her hand and started to lead her to the living room.
Unexpectedly, Tang Ning half-raised her head, biting her lip, and spoke with embarrassment and difficulty, "I...I didn't cook. I thought...I thought it was going to rain, and you definitely wouldn't come back. Then I would have to eat a whole table of food by myself again, like before..."
At this point, Tang Ning lowered her head again and whispered, "Eating alone is really...unpleasant. There's not a sound in the room, I just can't eat...I didn't...I didn't mean to..."
Snap!
Before she could finish speaking, a tear suddenly fell.
It landed directly on Fu Yuankai's fingers, which were holding her hand, and inexplicably burned him, making him shiver.
Seeing this, Fu Yuankai's heart skipped a beat. He reached into his pocket, but because he had just changed into new clothes, he couldn't find anything. In the end, he could only use his fingertips to wipe away the tears that slid down Tang Ning's red eyes, then reached out and hugged her, letting out a slight sigh of relief.
"I'm sorry, it's my fault, but you know my schedule is always very tight, I just can't find the time. I promise I'll come back to see you whenever I have free time, okay? Okay, stop crying. What do you want to eat tonight? I'll take you to eat now, okay? What do you want to eat? Hmm?"
It has to be admitted that as a top-tier idol, Fu Yuankai has considerable assets, even his voice is so naturally gifted. No wonder he was able to coax the original owner into being willing to shrink into this tiny space and cook for him.
Now, any girl would probably be easily fooled and completely disarmed.
But Tang Ning was no ordinary person. She sniffed slightly, tilted her head back, and said softly, "Hot pot."
“We won’t cry…” Fu Yuankai thought he was going to continue comforting her, but to his surprise, Tang Ning gave him an unexpected answer the next second.
"Hot... hot pot?"
"Um!"
Tang Ning nodded.
"Okay, let's go to the one on Hexu Road..."
"No, no, let's not eat out. I want to buy some hot pot base and ingredients so we can cook it ourselves, okay?" Tang Ning suddenly suggested.
To say it was a sudden inspiration is nothing more than a long-planned scheme.
"Hmm?" Fu Yuankai hesitated for a moment, then nodded.
He was just going to the supermarket to buy some things. With his hat and sunglasses on, no one should recognize him.
"Then let's hurry up and go. It's getting darker and darker. Let's see if we can get back before it rains!"
Tang Ning excitedly grabbed Fu Yuankai's hand and started to walk out.
Then--
The two of them bought their groceries and stood in front of the supermarket near their home, looking at the dense curtain of rain in front of them, and twitched their lips.
This rain came really fast!
Fortunately, the two of them were worried about raining outside, so they grabbed an umbrella while shopping at the supermarket.
As Fu Yuankai opened the umbrella and was about to walk out with Tang Ning in his hand, his sleeve was suddenly tugged.
Turning his head, he saw his little girl pointing pitifully at her fluffy white rabbit slippers. The road outside was completely soaked, and if she went back, she would have to give up her pretty slippers that she had just bought not long ago.
Seeing this, Fu Yuankai couldn't help but chuckle, "What's wrong with you? You knew it was going to rain, yet you still wore these kinds of shoes out?"
"I was in such a hurry that I didn't notice..."
Tang Ning grunted.
Seeing her pitiful appearance, like a puppy abandoned on the roadside on a rainy day, Fu Yuankai shook his head helplessly, glanced at the heavy rain outside, took two steps forward, and half-squatted in front of Tang Ning. "Alright, come on up!"
Seeing the other person's incredibly natural squatting motion, Tang Ning's eyes narrowed slightly.
She could sense from every move that Fu Yuankai did love the original owner of the body. Yes, it was love, not the lukewarm liking that Fu Yinze had. So why did the two end up like that? And the level of affection should be higher than that. Could the so-called white moonlight be so powerful that it could even blind his heart?
Forget it, no amount of excuses can hide the fact that this man in front of me is a complete scumbag!
As for whether he actually loved the original owner or not, she's here, and if he didn't, she'll make it up out of thin air!
After thinking about all these random thoughts, Tang Ning picked up the things in her hands and leaned against the other person's back.
But to her surprise, just as she lay down, the man mischievously jumped up and ran forward.
"Time to go home!"
"Ah! Slow down, slow down! I can't hold the umbrella anymore, the rain is blowing all over my face..."
The sounds of their laughter and banter faded into the distance, gradually disappearing into the rain.
The consequence of this happiness was that, despite having an umbrella, the two of them still got soaked to the bone when they got home.
Tang Ning, soaking wet, stood at the door, pouting, and glared angrily at Fu Yuankai, who was still smiling.
"Okay, okay, go change your clothes first, I'll go prepare the vegetables, okay? Don't be angry, come inside quickly, don't catch a cold!"
As he spoke, Fu Yuankai pushed Tang Ning toward the bedroom.
"Are you sure you can manage on your own?"
"Absolutely."
So when Tang Ning came out after changing her clothes, she saw Fu Yuankai, a tall man, huddled in the small kitchen, boiling water while searching for hot pot recipes on his phone.
Seeing this, Tang Ning smiled, picked up the apron next to her, and stepped forward to tie it on for him.
Has Baidu released its product yet?
As she spoke, Tang Ning helped the other person tie the apron straps, while simultaneously leaning closer to her.
"That's about enough, let's see what we do first..."
Fu Yuankai pointed at his phone, turned his head and was about to say something when his slightly dry lips brushed against Tang Ning's soft cheek.
For a moment, both of them were stunned, and even their breathing became shallow.
It was at this moment that Tang Ning realized that the men of the Fu family all had exceptionally beautiful, dark eyes. If Fu Yinze's eyes were like a deep, ancient well, then Fu Yuankai's eyes were like the night sky, with even scattered starlight, making them incredibly alluring.
The rain outside the window had gradually subsided, drizzling softly, but the temperature inside the kitchen continued to rise, and an ambiguous aroma slowly fermented in the air...
Fu Yuankai suddenly leaned his head forward and raised his chin slightly.
Tang Ning watched as the other person slowly approached, her lips slightly pursed.
The closer they got, the more they could feel each other's slightly damp breath, and their breaths mingled together as they drew nearer...
"Clang, glug, clang clang..."
Just then, the water in the pot boiled, and the steam immediately pushed open the lid, making a piercing noise that instantly woke the two of them.
"The water, the water seems to be boiling..."
Tang Ning pointed at the pot and stammered.
"Yes...yes!"
Fu Yuankai quickly stepped forward and lifted the pot lid.
"I...I'll go wash the vegetables!"
Tang Ning also hurriedly ran to the sink.
She clicked her tongue inwardly. Four years! They'd been together for four years already. Fu Yuankai, whether he still harbored feelings for his "white moonlight" (his first love), feared committing a sin, or was afraid of taking responsibility, had consistently refused to cross the line. The original owner, raised with the belief that such matters were best left to marriage, interpreted Fu Yuankai's restraint as a sign of his cherishing her.
Furthermore, after Fu Yuankai became famous, the two of them spent too little time together in the past four years. Now, they are both still incredibly innocent, and it seems like those four years were wasted.
After the two of them had been busy for a while, the awkward and ambiguous atmosphere gradually disappeared, and the hot pot was quickly taken shape.
Sitting at the dining table, looking at the bubbling hot pot, Fu Yuankai was just about to pick up his chopsticks when Tang Ning hurriedly spoke up, "Wait a minute!"
After saying that, she ran away quickly, and when she came back, she was holding a small cake with a candle on it. "I couldn't celebrate your birthday with you yesterday, so I secretly took a piece of cake from the supermarket. Can I make it up to you now?"
Tang Ning looked at Fu Yuankai at the dining table with anticipation.
Upon hearing this, Fu Yuankai paused for a moment, then stood up. "Then I'll go turn off the lights..."
Before he could finish speaking, his phone, which was on the table, suddenly vibrated.
Upon seeing the name displayed, Fu Yuankai forgot all about birthdays and cakes, hurriedly answered the call, and then walked excitedly to the balcony.
Despite the other person's fast typing speed, Tang Ning still managed to spot the name flashing on the phone screen—Xi Xi.
Ye Xi, whose real name is Ye Xi, is also known as Xi Xi.
Thinking of this, Tang Ning raised an eyebrow, then slowly walked to the dining table, put down the cake, looked at the man's back standing on the balcony, and directly knocked the wallet he had placed on the table to the ground, then kicked it under the sofa next to her.
After waiting for a long time, Fu Yuankai finally finished his call and returned. As soon as he came back, he saw Tang Ning's expression, which was a mixture of expectation and worry.
He clenched his fist slightly, then grabbed his coat and explained, "I have some urgent business to attend to right away. You can enjoy your hot pot all by yourself!"
Is it about work?
"……Um."
"Then you should go quickly. I'm fine here. The roads are slippery from the rain, so please drive carefully!"
"good!"
After saying that, he didn't even have time to turn around and look at Tang Ning. With a bang, the door opened and he disappeared.
"Tangbao, Tangbao, your affection level was rising so well, why did he suddenly leave you?"
54088 said unwillingly.
Why?
Tang Ning slowly took out her phone, opened Weibo, and looked at the news that the president of Genji had found a new love and a list of the past girlfriends of the nation's husband.
Isn't it always been like this?
Whenever Fu Yinze gets a girlfriend, Ye Xi is in agony. When Ye Xi is in pain, she calls Fu Yuankai. Once Fu Yuankai answers the phone, Tang Ning is left all alone.
It's just like the cruel survival rules of the animal kingdom: big fish eat small fish, and small fish eat shrimp.
But now the shrimp has evolved. Not only does she eat small fish, she even wants to swallow big fish whole!
Judging by the time, Tang Ning took her wallet from under the sofa and ran outside.
"Tangbao, Tangbao, it's raining so hard outside, where are you going?"
"Of course I'll go and try to increase my favorability with them!"
Holding up her wallet, Tang Ning smiled brightly.
She had just come downstairs when Fu Yuankai's car came out of the underground parking garage and sped past her.
"Yuan Kai!"
Seeing this, Tang Ning quickly stuffed her wallet into her pocket and plunged into the rain.
"Yuan Kai!"
She ran and shouted in the heavy rain.
The rain soaked her hair and clothes, but she continued her relentless pursuit.
It wasn't until they reached the corner ahead that Fu Yuankai glanced at the rearview mirror and realized something was wrong. He quickly turned off the engine, stopped the car, opened the door, and ran over.
"Why did you run out in this heavy rain? There aren't even any traffic lights on this road! Do you even know how dangerous it is?"
Hearing his reproach, Tang Ning gasped for breath, then carefully took out her wallet, wrapped in a plastic bag, from her pocket. She gasped, "Your...wallet! I only realized you left it behind after you went out...I saw your ID was in there, and I was worried it would affect your work, so I rushed out to give it to you. Finally...finally caught up...I'm fine, I just got a little rained on. There's a hot pot to eat when I get home, and then a hot shower, I'm sure I won't...won't...ah...choo...It's okay, your work is more important. Don't waste time here, hurry up and go! Be careful on the road! Don't drive too fast! Achoo!"
While speaking, Tang Ning pushed him toward the car.
But the next second, she was pulled into Fu Yuankai's arms and held very tightly.
"Hey, what are you doing? Even though this place is remote, there are still a lot of people around. Don't let anyone take pictures of you. Just call me when you get there, and I'll be waiting for you at home!"
Tang Ning broke free from his embrace and looked up at him with a smile.
Looking at Tang Ning like this, Fu Yuankai felt his heart had never been so stirred. He even... even wanted to stay, not leave, and go home to eat the hot pot he had just made with her...
But Sister Ye Xi is still waiting for him... He can't...
Thinking of this, Fu Yuankai lowered his head, closed his eyes, and kissed Tang Ning on the forehead, saying in a hoarse voice, "Stay home and wait for me to come back!"
"Um!"
Tang Ning nodded vigorously.
I'd be a pig if I believed you ^-^
Watching the man's car disappear around the corner, Tang Ning took out a tissue from her pocket and gently wiped her forehead.
"Aaaaaah! Tangbao, Tangbao, 80! She's actually reached 80! Aaaaaah!"
Hearing 54088's screams in her ear, Tang Ning smiled slightly and threw the soaking wet tissue in her hand into the trash can by the roadside.
