Chapter 571 Is There a Beautiful Girl in the Golden House?
"Okay, I'll go back right away. I just got off work." Xu Lingwei hung up the phone while drooling. This time, she was not drooling because of Fu Chengzhou's top-notch double-door figure, but because of the food that Aunt Yan sent.
Aunt Yan is a good eater and the ingredients she chooses are all of very high quality. When she was a child in China, she would always eat an extra bowl of rice every night Aunt Yan brought food to her home.
Soon, Xu Lingwei returned to the community, took a quick shower to remove the dust of the day, and rang the doorbell opposite in casual clothes. After a while, light footsteps came from afar and Fu Chengzhou opened the door. He was wearing dark gray sportswear, and his handsome and slender body exuded a steady and clean and refreshing temperament.
Unexpectedly, Brother Chengzhou's aura could be so refreshing. Xu Lingwei's eyes widened slightly, unable to refute. This was another part of her aura that attracted her. It seemed that her perception of Brother Chengzhou since she was a child was too stereotyped. He was not the big tiger she imagined.
At this moment, a deep male voice sounded from above: "What are you standing there for? Why don't you come in?"
Xu Lingwei was startled back to her senses by the voice. She raised her eyes and instantly met Fu Chengzhou's dark gaze. Then, she noticed something different. She had met Chengzhou's gaze when she first returned to China, but back then, his eyes had been icy cold. Now, they were different, filled with a gentle glow. Analyzing the difference, Xu Lingwei's heart skipped a beat. What a strange feeling!
Embarrassingly concealing the strangeness, Xu Lingwei strode into Fu Chengzhou's house, her nose twitching a few times.
"Brother Chengzhou, do you use aromatherapy at home?"
"Well, I had trouble sleeping before, so the doctor recommended an aromatherapy product to promote sleep, and I've been using it ever since. What do you think of it? Does it smell bad?"
"I think it smells very good." Xu Lingwei said sincerely.
In an invisible corner, Fu Chengzhou's tense expression relaxed, and the corners of his lips curled up slightly for a few seconds. Then, he quickly walked to the dining table, put on heat-insulating gloves, and lifted the glass pot lid. Coconut chicken soup was boiling inside. Fu Chengzhou turned the heat down to minimum and looked up at the girl standing obediently beside him, "Sit down and prepare to eat."
"Oh!" Hearing this, Xu Lingwei pulled out a chair and sat down, muttering to herself, why was Brother Chengzhou laughing at her just now? She was being polite, okay? How could she have the nerve to sit down when the host didn't?
Fu Chengzhou sighed secretly. They had been neighbors for more than two months, but the little girl was still so reserved. Was he really that scary?
While thinking, he placed Lingwei's favorite spinach, kelp sprouts, and tofu pudding in front of her. Xu Lingwei curled the corners of her lips and said, "Hehe, Brother Chengzhou, you are amazing. What you put in front of me are my favorites."
Fu Chengzhou chuckled softly, "My mom specifically reminded me not to snatch your favorite food from you."
Hearing this, Xu Lingwei's fair cheeks blushed for a moment, "Ahem, Aunt Yan really dotes on me too much."
"She treats you like her own daughter." Fu Chengzhou even felt that his mother's love for Lingwei exceeded that for him and Chengze. Perhaps this was the charm of a caring little cotton-padded jacket. He and Chengze could only be regarded as bulletproof vests.
As soon as the coconut chicken in the soup base tasted, Fu Chengzhou started to eat. He would put whatever dish Xu Lingwei's eyes looked at into his dish. Xu Lingwei, who didn't know the reason, was secretly happy. She just felt that the order in which Brother Chengzhou and she ate hot pot was very similar. Whatever he wanted to eat in the last second, Brother Chengzhou would pick it up and put it in the pot in the next second without saying a word.
During this hot pot meal for just two people, Xu Lingwei became increasingly relaxed as she ate, gradually losing her restraint. Seeing her like this, Fu Chengzhou felt a sense of accomplishment, having finally gotten rid of this girl's "respect" for him.
Using serving chopsticks, he scooped the cooked kelp seedlings onto the plate beside the girl. Fu Chengzhou asked casually, "You seem particularly happy today? What good news happened?"
He was completely unaware that he, who had never been interested in other people's private lives, was trying to understand other people's world.
Xu Lingwei would be even less likely to notice. After hearing this, she thought for a moment and said frankly, "It can be considered a happy event. There is a female employee in my flower garden. She used to be often beaten by her husband and was even threatened not to go out to work. Now she has stood up again. Her husband doesn't dare to beat her anymore, and she can go back to work. This is a happy event for her, and it is also a happy event for me, because she has good flower-growing skills~"
"It's indeed a happy event." Fu Chengzhou agreed and looked up at the girl.
"Yes, yes." After saying that, Xu Lingwei picked up the kelp seedlings, dipped them in sand ginger soy sauce, and ate them in one bite with a look of satisfaction on her face.
After eating hot pot, the two of them cleaned the table together and washed the dishes in the kitchen together. Fu Chengzhou was responsible for washing the first time, and then handed the washed dishes to her, and she came to wash the water.
The cooperation between men and women was not tiring and they washed everything quickly. Xu Lingwei's eyes were always on Fu Chengzhou's refrigerator, which was self-evident.
Fu Chengzhou opened the refrigerator and showed it to her. "My grandma gave me two bottles of sauce for cooking noodles a while ago. I haven't opened them yet. Do you want to help me taste them?"
"Grandma Lu's cooking skills." Xu Lingwei wanted to drool again, and shamelessly pointed at the garlic sauce on the right, "I want this bottle. I want to have noodles for lunch tomorrow."
Fu Chengzhou took it out and put it in a paper bag for her.
"Thank you, Brother Chengzhou, and thank you, Grandma Lu." Xu Lingwei left with the sauce.
Fu Chengzhou walked her to the door, then slowly walked to the living room and sat down. He picked up the mobile phone that he had thrown on the coffee table after get off work, and saw that his friends had called him several times.
Fu Chengzhou called back, and a gentle, smiling male voice rang out from the other end of the line, "Chengzhou, I met your brother at the stadium. Your family doesn't have a family dinner today."
As his college roommate and close friend, this was the first time Mo Jinbei caught Fu Chengzhou lying. He was very interested in this historic moment and immediately called to mock Fu Chengzhou.
Unexpectedly, Fu Chengzhou didn't feel guilty at all. He said calmly, "A family dinner is a dinner at my house. Who says we have to go back to my parents' house to eat?"
Mo Jinbei was so shocked by this self-righteous explanation that he started coughing. Could it be explained like this?
"Your brother didn't go to your place either." Mo Jinbei didn't believe it.
"I didn't ask my brother to dinner."
"Who did you invite?"
"Do I need to tell you this?"
"Haha!" Mo Jinbei laughed and tutted, "You have something going on, but you're hiding it. Old Fu, are you crazy?"
They had agreed to play basketball last week, but he suddenly changed his mind and said he didn't want to come, saying he had a family dinner. Mo Jinbei and Xiao He believed him, but when they arrived at the court, they saw Fu Chengze, who asked them to play basketball together. During the conversation, they learned that there was no such thing as a family dinner.
"Just tell me, is there a beautiful woman hidden in the golden house?"
"No."
What is he hiding? Someone lives in the house opposite, and he is the only one in his golden house.
