As if sensing Li Yang's gaze, Ji Huaizhi turned around and asked, "What's wrong?"
Li Yang concealed his thoughts and shook his head, "It's okay."
She told herself that whatever Ji Huaizhi did outside was his freedom, she could not interfere, and she should not ask too many questions. She should just do her part.
Even though... there was blood on his hands.
She picked a few green onions from the yard, chopped them and put them at the bottom of the bowl. When she poured the chicken soup into the bowl, the green onions were cooked.
During the days when she was not in Guangzhou, Sister Qian came to help her water the vegetables, so the green onions grew lushly.
Li Yang brought the food to the table and said to Ji Huaizhi, "Let's eat."
She served rice to each of them, scooped up half a bowl of chicken soup, took a sip, and felt very satisfied.
Ji Huaizhi also picked up the chicken soup, took a sip, and nodded, "It's indeed much better than what's sold outside."
Li Yang agreed, "The food in restaurants sometimes tastes better than at home, but the ingredients aren't as good as what you buy yourself, and you worry about the hygiene." She remembered that she had wanted Ji Huaizhi to go to the hospital with her for a checkup. "Are you free next week?"
Ji Huaizhi raised his eyes: "You say."
Li Yang said, "I'm thinking of finding a time for us to go to the hospital for a comprehensive physical examination." Afraid that Ji Huaizhi might overthink things, he added, "I heard that people who can afford it now also have regular physical examinations to prevent any problems."
Ji Huaizhi's injury hasn't healed yet, and his waist is still a little unwell, so next week is just the right time.
Ji Huaizhi nodded: "Okay." He observed the little girl's nervous expression, reached out his hand, and wanted to touch the top of her head, "Are you feeling unwell?"
This was an action he had done many times before, but this time it frightened Li Yang so much that he leaned back to avoid his action.
Realizing that he had overreacted, Li Yang forced a smile and explained in a somewhat pale tone, "I was just thinking about something."
Ji Huaizhi didn't expose her words, but just silently withdrew his hand: "Just arrange the time and tell me directly."
Ji Huaizhi easily agreed to his request, but Li Yang was not very happy about his discovery.
She began to worry that her rebirth would trigger a butterfly effect and make everything different from her previous life.
While she was distracted, she heard Ji Huaizhi ask herself: "What do you think?"
"Hmm?" Li Yang slowly responded, "What did you just say?"
Ji Huaizhi said it to her again in a good-tempered manner: "I say, let's find some time to go look for houses. Let's find a place close to the jewelry factory or Jade Street and buy a house."
Ji Huaizhi gave all the money he got back last time to herself, and asked her to deposit the money from selling the materials into the bank. According to his personality, he would not use these two sums to buy a house. The goods were not sold this time, so where did he get the money?
Thinking of how he had changed his clothes and was cold when he came back today, Li Yang shuddered in his heart.
She tried to refuse: "I think it's nice to live here."
Ji Huaizhi didn't agree with her this time: "The security here is too bad, I'm worried."
Li Yang knew that Ji Huaizhi was referring to the fact that he was kidnapped by Xiao Haisheng without anyone noticing. He poked the rice in his bowl and lowered his head in embarrassment.
Ji Huaizhi then added, "You've already suffered a great deal by marrying me. I can't let you live in a place like this with me forever. Find a more spacious place where you can grow flowers and vegetables."
Ji Huaizhi didn't care about material things like food and shelter. He rented a house in Lie Village just for the warmth it once belonged to the Ji family. But every day when he came home and saw Li Yang busy in the cramped kitchen, or sitting on a bench in the small room recording her small plan to get rich, he felt a little uncomfortable.
Such a delicate and fragile girl should sit in a bright and spacious house, not in such a dark and narrow alley.
Li Yang only heard the second half: "Are you planning to buy a big house and sleep in a separate room from me?"
Did she disturb him by grinding her teeth in her sleep?
Ji Huaizhi: "..."
He rubbed his brows and said, "You can also change to a smaller one."
The decision to buy a house was made. Considering that the Chinese New Year was only a month away and time was a bit tight, we decided to buy it after the New Year.

The next morning after breakfast, Li Yang was about to go to work when he saw Ji Huaizhi pushing a bicycle in from outside.
Li Yang asked him: "What is this?"
Ji Huaizhi coughed lightly: "Your injury hasn't healed yet, I'll take you there."
Li Yang was a little flattered that Ji Huaizhi sent her to work, and agreed with a smile.
Although she was a little worried that Ji Huaizhi would be too ostentatious, he had specially lent her a bicycle, so she naturally couldn't refuse his kindness.
Ji Huaizhi stopped the car, and when she tried to climb into the back seat, he grabbed her waist and placed her firmly in the back seat: "Sit tight."
Li Yang sat in the back seat, clutching his clothes with both hands, his face inexplicably red.
Looking at Ji Huaizhi's thin waist, she remembered last night when she wanted to apply medicine to him as usual, but he refused: "I have already applied it."
Ji Huaizhi's reaction further confirmed his guess: Ji Huaizhi had seen blood on his hands during the day.
She didn't know why, but her feelings towards Ji Huaizhi were always familiar and strange. Sometimes, when they went through some things together, and just when she thought that they had become closer than before, something else would happen, telling her clearly that he was always the Ji Huaizhi that she didn't know.
Li Yang let out a breath and simply swung her legs. It would be more practical for her to prepare something for dinner.
