She gripped his strong arm with her fingers, inwardly complaining with a hint of grievance, "This repressed man always comes up with all sorts of tricks, leaving me with a sore back and aching waist."
Zhou Yi, who always took the initiative in bed, looked down at the woman beneath him, his breathing slightly disordered, his cheeks flushed, and his eyes red-rimmed.
She looked so ravaged and broken, it was incredibly heartbreaking. Zhou Yi's actions were forceful and direct, attacking her again and again, until he lifted her to the heavens...
Chen Hong lay weakly on her side on the bed, with Zhou Yi lying behind her, a thin blanket draped around his waist.
He revealed strong and well-proportioned upper body muscle lines, with standard broad shoulders and a narrow waist, lean yet not weak.
She rolled over and touched his eight-pack abs, which were hard and captivating.
"Don't move. Do you want to do it again?"
Zhou Yi kissed her sweaty forehead.
Chen Hong was startled and immediately pulled her hand back. "I can't, I have to get up and pick up the child from school."
After saying that, she struggled to sit up, not daring to rest any longer, and grabbed her pajamas to go to the bathroom to take a shower.
Zhou Yi grabbed her arm. "Rest a little longer. I'll go pick up Yu Yang."
He got out of bed naked, walked barefoot into the bathroom, and took a quick shower.
Five minutes later, she came out with a towel wrapped around her waist, shirtless, and drying her hair.
He opened his suitcase, found his underwear and put it on, then picked up his military uniform from the bedside and put it on as well.
He picked up his watch to check the time, and while putting it on, said to Chen Hong, "You stay home and rest, I'm going to pick up the kids!"
Chen Hong admired his dashing figure in his military uniform, her face showing the expression of a little fangirl. "I'm going to get up too, to prepare the ingredients for dinner."
What would you like to eat tonight? Given your good behavior, you're allowed to order!
Zhou Yi leaned in and gently kissed her lips. "Anything is fine. You're tired, so let's keep it simple. I'm leaving now."
Hearing the door slam shut, Chen Hong quickly got out of bed.
I took a shower first, then tidied up the clothes on the floor. Then I went to the living room to put the clothes I bought in the afternoon into the closet.
Chen Hong washed her underwear by hand and hung it to dry on the balcony before heading to the kitchen to knead dough.
Dumplings before boarding, noodles upon arrival; she plans to make hand-pulled noodles for Zhou Yi that evening.
After kneading the dough and letting it rest, Chen Hong took out the ingredients from the refrigerator to prepare dinner.
She plans to make grilled grouper, spicy chicken, braised sea cucumber with scallions, sweet and sour pork ribs, braised beef brisket with tomatoes, and garlic eggplant for dinner.
Make a seafood and mushroom sauce and pour it over the hand-pulled noodles.
Chen Hong first scaled and cleaned the grouper, removed its internal organs, and then cut it in half, making a few cuts on the surface of the fish meat.
Marinate the fish with cooking wine, steamed fish soy sauce, chopped chili peppers, dark soy sauce, and cumin powder.
Prepare the ginger and scallions by picking, washing, slicing, and cutting them into sections.
Peel and chop the carrots, dice the onions, slice the cucumbers, chop the garlic sprouts, and prepare the bean sprouts, cilantro, and other side ingredients.
Wash and chop the pork ribs, beef brisket, and young chicken into pieces, and blanch them separately in boiling water.
Use two separate stoves to heat the pots, and first put the pork ribs and beef brisket in two pots to stew.
When Zhou Yi and Yu Yang returned home, Chen Hong had already prepared sweet and sour pork ribs and beef brisket with tomatoes.
The young chicken is very tender and cooks quickly. Adding chili peppers before serving makes it very fragrant.
Sea cucumbers don't cook well over high heat, so stir-frying them quickly over high heat will bring this dish to the table in no time.
After Yu Yang finished his homework in twenty minutes after school, Chen Hong finished everything in the kitchen, and Zhou Yi served the grilled fish and garlic eggplant.
Finally, Yu Yang finished his homework and came out; Chen Hong's seafood and mushroom stew was also ready.
The three of them sat down at the table to eat. Chen Hong took out a glass of wine and poured a glass for Zhou Yi and herself, and squeezed a large glass of fresh orange juice for Yu Yang.
The three of them ate, drank, and chatted, creating a very warm atmosphere.
Just then, the doorbell rang.
Chen Hong went to the door and peeked outside, only to find that standing outside was Guan Xiaojiang, the boy from across the street.
The child was carrying a plate with two crabs on it.
Chen Hong quickly opened the door. "Guan Xiaojiang, are you bringing us groceries?"
Guan Xiaojiang nodded solemnly: "Auntie, my mom made some delicious steamed crabs today and asked me to give two to Brother Yu Yang to try."
Chen Hong quickly ushered the child in, saying, "Thank you so much, child, please come in!"
You guys keep it for yourselves! Seafood is hard to find in Jinan, why did you even think of sending some to my house?
"Yu Yang, Guan Xiaojiang's little brother has brought you crabs! Quickly, welcome the child inside."
Chen Hong took the plate from Guan Xiaojiang. The two crabs weren't very big, each weighing about three or four ounces, but they looked quite fresh.
This crab is a freshwater crab, so it's definitely not as big as a sea crab, but it's not small for a freshwater crab either, and it's certainly not cheap.
Chen Hong arranged for Guan Xiaojiang to sit down, went to the kitchen to transfer the crabs to a plate, washed Guan Xiaojiang's plate, and then served him half a plate of sea cucumber and half a plate of grilled fish.
When she turned around and saw Guan Xiaojiang staring intently at the food on the table, drooling, she couldn't help but laugh.
I didn't expect the neighbor's kid to be such a little foodie. Looks like we'll have a little guest at home tonight.
Yu Yang had already given Guan Xiaojiang a pair of chopsticks. "Little Jiang, you can eat at my house! My mom's cooking is delicious."
"Dad Zhou, this is Guan Xiaojiang, the little boy from next door. Xiaojiang, this is my dad Zhou, you can call him Uncle Zhou."
Guan Xiaojiang sat quietly, gripping his chopsticks tightly, clearly wanting to stay for dinner.
"Hello, Uncle Zhou! You've made so much food!" The child was quite amusing; he greeted the man but his eyes never left the food on the table.
However, since the adults hadn't spoken, he held his chopsticks and didn't dare to eat directly.
