Zhou Yunwan turned off the TV, walked into the kitchen and told Shen Yanli what had just happened.
Shen Yanli's attitude was indeed the same as hers. For such neighbors, avoid them if possible and don't have any contact with them if possible. After all, no one wants a neighbor who will stab them in the back.
Shen Yanli frowned and said, “Don’t pay any attention to them. If they come knocking on the door again next time, let me deal with it.”
He has always disdained to put on a show with others, let alone with whom he has had conflicts. If he were to continue to interact with them in the future, there would be a thorn in his heart.
Besides, they were not familiar with each other before, they were just acquaintances, and their relationship was not so deep that they had to avoid contact. There was no need to make himself suffer because of such a person.
Zhou Yunwan understood what Shen Yanli meant and nodded to show that she understood.
Not long after, Chen Yanli finished cooking the dishes: a braised fish, a dish of three fresh vegetables, a dish of stir-fried vegetables, and a tomato and egg soup. The three dishes and one soup were delicious and enough for two people.
Shen Yanli is an adult man, big in stature and with a big appetite, he can do the work of two people.
Although Zhou Yunwan was already used to it, she was still a little surprised at his speed. Before she had finished her first bowl, he had already started serving the third bowl and even found the time to pick out all the fish bones for her.
...
...
She did not shy away from his gaze, and Shen Yanli caught it keenly, raising his eyebrows meaningfully: “I have used up a lot of physical strength these two days, and I need to replenish it.”
Zhou Yunwan choked twice when she heard this and almost choked to death on the rice she had just stuffed into her mouth.
Shen Yanli hurriedly poured her a glass of water.
Zhou Yunwan drank several sips of water and coughed vigorously twice, and the discomfort was relieved a lot.
Her cheeks flushed red as she looked at Shen Yanli in disbelief as he spoke dirty words seriously. Why didn't she realize before that he was so talented in this area?
Seeing that she was only looking at him but not speaking, Shen Yanli smiled sullenly: “I almost forgot, my wife, you are the one who needs to replenish your energy.”
As he said this, he put two pieces of food into her bowl with his chopsticks.
Zhou Yunwan stared at him with her sparkling eyes, anger mixed with a hint of shyness. After a long while, she snorted, "You are such a jerk. Can you be more serious?"
Shen Yanli raised his thin lips, his cold eyes did not show much fluctuation, and he said faintly: "Between husband and wife, this topic is quite serious."
Hearing the sarcasm in his words, Zhou Yunwan was speechless. Indeed, this topic between husband and wife was nothing at all.
She could only pick up a piece of fish for him and muttered softly, "Even rice can't stop your mouth."
“Thank you, my wife, for feeding me.” As he said that, Shen Yanli stuffed the piece of fish into his mouth without hesitation.
Zhou Yunwan's face flushed red as he kept calling her his wife. She smiled and said, "Don't eat so hastily. Be careful of the prickles."
"Thank you for your concern, wife."
One after another, Zhou Yunwan couldn't help but roll her eyes at him, but the smile on her lips deepened.
After dinner, Zhou Yunwan helped clean up the garbage on the table, and was then driven by Shen Yanli to the second bedroom to read the script.
After washing the dishes and wiping the table, Chen Yanli took in the underwear that he had taken out to dry on the balcony yesterday, and then hung the sheets and quilts up there. As for why they were not hung on the corridor at the front door...
Ahem, they didn’t want anyone else to know how intense their wedding battle was.
After finishing a set of housework, Chen Yanli remained calm and had no complaints, showing the potential to be a househusband.
For the next few days, because they had no work, their lives would basically be repetitive. They would buy groceries and cook, and after dinner they would stay in the second bedroom, one reading a script and the other writing a research report, and occasionally they would do some exercise, of course, in the literal sense.
It’s not that they don’t want to have sex, but unfortunately, Zhou Yun got her period late.
When she has her period, she usually has a little stomach pain and back pain in the first two days. She can't sit for too long and has to lie down to feel comfortable. After this period, there's nothing serious.
Zhou Yunwan was lying on a reclining chair on the balcony, eating the brown sugar taro balls that Chen Yanli had cooked for her. She had taught him how to make them, and he cooked them very well. They were fragrant, sticky, and soft, and very delicious and stomach-warming.
She ate two bowls in one go, and when she ate the third bowl, she couldn't help feeling a little sick.
After eating half a bowl, he couldn't eat any more and put the bowl on the table.
"How is it? Are you still feeling uncomfortable?"
A cold male voice echoed in my ear.
Then, a big warm hand covered her belly and massaged it through the fabric.
Zhou Yunwan turned her head to look at Chen Yanli who had a worried look on his face. She had been unable to sleep most of the night because of stomach pain these past two days, so he had been accompanying her, running around, and he looked visibly more haggard.
She was moved, held his face and kissed him, rubbed her forehead against his, and said with a smile: "I don't feel uncomfortable anymore, thank you for taking care of me, husband."
Seeing the smile on her face, Shen Yanli felt relieved, his thin lips also raised an arc, and pinched her cheek with his big hand: “Then you lie down for a while, I’ll go wash the pots and dishes.”
"Yeah." Zhou Yunwan blinked and lay down obediently.
The sunlight today is not very strong, and there is a gentle breeze. It is very comfortable to lie down and bask in the sun.
Chen Yanli helped her pull up the blanket covering her waist, then quickly ate the remaining half bowl of rice, and then turned to go to the living room.
Zhou Yunwan had a rare good night's sleep and felt refreshed when she woke up.
Sitting across from the table was Chen Yanli, who was wearing the pair of gold-rimmed glasses that he seldom wore. His face was dignified and profound, and he was looking down at the newspapers of the past two days. The only sound around him was the gentle flipping of papers.
Behind him was the sunset glow which had not yet faded away. The dim light seemed to have been filtered just for him, and the days were peaceful and quiet.
Zhou Yunwan was a little dazed by what she saw. Her heartbeat slowed down for a beat, and then began beating violently again.
Maybe this is the meaning of marriage, that your loved one is always by your side.
Not sure if it was because her heartbeat was too loud, but Chen Yanli raised his eyes as if aware of something, and when he saw her wake up, his stern brows revealed an unconcealable love.
He immediately put down the newspaper and asked softly, "Are you hungry? I'll go cook."
Zhou Yunwan shook her head, stood up from the recliner, and immediately sat on his lap, throwing herself into his arms like a spoiled child: "Hubby, why are you so nice? I love you so much."
Facing her sudden declaration of love, Shen Yanli's eyes darkened, he raised his hands to hold her waist, and responded warmly with his actions.
After the kiss, Chen Yanli twirled a strand of her hair with his fingers, kissed her with lingering affection, and said in a deep voice: "Mom called and asked us to take some time to go to the tailor shop. Tailor Zhang said that our toast clothes have been made, so we can go and try them."
