"I got off work early today, so I came over."
The atmosphere between the two was stiff and strained. Aunt Liu, being an experienced woman, could tell at a glance that the two had definitely argued.
Aunt Liu patted her on the shoulder. "Since Commander Lu has come to pick you up, I won't be a third wheel. I'll be going now. Even the tongue and teeth sometimes clash. Couples who have been together for a long time are bound to argue. It's okay to argue. Don't give each other the silent treatment. Sit down and have a good talk."
After saying goodbye to Aunt Liu and Uncle Bao, Yu Yao pushed her bicycle and left without waiting for Lu Ze.
Lu Ze followed and walked beside her.
Yu Yao walked to the front with a cold face, without saying a word, clearly still angry.
"careful!"
Suddenly a cat darted out from the side, startling Yu Yao so much that she tripped and almost fell.
Lu Ze held her waist with one hand and supported the bicycle with the other.
Yu Yao snapped out of her daze, stepped out of Lu Ze's arms, and said thank you.
"I'll ride the bike." Lu Ze took out two seafood buns from his pocket. "These are fish buns made by the quartermaster, still warm. I brought them especially for you."
Yu Yao glanced at the steamed bun.
The snow-white, fluffy buns were still steaming hot, and the rich aroma of scallions and fish wafted into Yu Yao's nostrils, making her stomach rumble.
Considering that he still remembered to bring her steamed buns, she might consider forgiving him for a few seconds.
Yu Yao took the steamed bun and took a big bite.
I spent the whole day in meetings, and the intense mental work was very taxing. The little bit of food I ate at noon has long been digested.
As soon as the fragrant and soft bun entered her mouth, Yu Yao couldn't help but let out a comfortable sigh.
Mackerel and crab meat are mixed with shallot oil in a specific ratio, and the bamboo shoot pieces are seasoned with rouge. When you eat it, you can taste the freshness and sweetness of the seafood, as well as the crisp and slightly sour taste of the bamboo shoots.
Thunder bamboo shoots are truly a wonderful vegetable, especially when they are processed. They are excellent whether served as a side dish or a main course.
Seeing her raise her eyebrows, clearly enjoying her meal, Lu Ze smiled slightly.
Yu Yao's cheeks were bulging as she ate meat with gusto, looking like a hamster eating its fill—cute and sweet.
Noticing that Lu Ze was peeking, Yu Yao turned her face away and lowered her head to eat her steamed bun.
Hmph, she's still angry and won't let me see it.
After eating two steamed buns, Yu Yao's hunger was finally relieved. She forced herself to say, "I'm done eating. I'm going to ride my bike back."
"good."
Lu Ze naturally got on his bicycle, his two long legs propped up on the ground, and said to her, "Get on."
Yu Yao jumped onto the back seat.
Lu Ze waited for a long time, but Yu Yao didn't wrap her arms around his waist as usual. He turned around and looked.
Yu Yao sat sideways in the back seat, her hands gripping the seat, showing no intention of wrapping her arms around him.
Knowing what he was looking at, Yu Yao pretended not to know, her hands gripping the car seat showed no sign of moving, and she even urged him to leave.
Lu Ze looked away and rode his bicycle with her on the back.
The two returned to the family compound in silence.
As soon as she arrived in the yard, Su Meihua, who was weeding in her own plot of land, dropped the weeds and hurriedly walked towards her.
“Yu Yao, you’re not home today. Commander Gao’s wife, Aunt Chen, came looking for you. When she saw you weren’t there, she asked me to tell you that the things they left at home were not easy to take with them, so she said they were for you and Commander Lu.”
"Did Commander Gao and the others move out today?" Yu Yao asked, somewhat surprised. "Weren't they supposed to move out next week?"
"I don't know either, I just heard that people from Guangdong Province came today to take Commander Gao and the others away." Su Meihua was more concerned about when Yu Yao would move in. "Yu Yao, when are you planning to move?"
Yu Yao glanced at the things in the house. "It's Sunday in a couple of days. I'm on vacation, so I plan to go over and tidy up first."
“Then I’ll go with you. Call me when you go the day after tomorrow.”
Yu Yao nodded.
After a long day, Yu Yao didn't want to cook. She was about to tell someone that she wanted to eat at the cafeteria when she smelled the rich aroma of chicken soup as soon as she entered the main room.
Upon reaching the doorway and seeing the scene in the kitchen, Yu Yao was stunned.
Lu Ze, who is over 1.8 meters tall, is wearing a slightly tight apron and is using a spoon to taste the chicken soup in the casserole.
The apron was made by Wu Wanying according to her body shape, and it looked ridiculous on Lu Ze no matter how he wore it.
Yu Yao couldn't help but curl the corners of her lips into a smile, but realizing she was laughing, she forcibly suppressed it and walked in with a cold face.
Lu Ze tasted it, added some salt, and said to Yu Yao:
"Ah Yao, dinner will be ready soon. Today, the quartermaster gave me some five-finger peach and taught me how to make five-finger peach stewed black chicken. This soup is good for the spleen and nourishing, so drink more of it later."
As Yu Yao watched him busy in the kitchen, it felt as if a pair of soft, large hands were massaging her heart, and the sharp thorns that had been raised up gradually softened.
Seeing that he wasn't very good at stir-frying chili peppers, Yu Yao said, "Let me do it."
Lu Ze was somewhat surprised. He looked at Yu Yao with his dark eyes and said gently, "Okay."
In addition to chicken stewed with five-finger peach and stir-fried pork with chili peppers, Lu Ze also made Yu Yao's favorite vegetable and fish ball soup and braised shrimp for dinner.
After finishing his meal, Lu Ze thought about the files he had retrieved that afternoon and said to Yu Yao, "I still have some things to take care of. I'm going to my office. You can go to sleep first; don't wait for me."
Yu Yao couldn't help but grab his hand, "Has there been any result regarding what I mentioned this morning?"
For the first time, Commander Lu, who was usually decisive and efficient, hesitated. "Ayao, I need time to confirm."
Upon hearing his words, a hint of self-mockery flashed in Yu Yao's eyes.
Ultimately, he still didn't believe her.
