Chapter 433: The young couple is busy]

Staying in Shenzhen with Sheng Zhiwu for the New Year was completely unexpected.

Ye Mei didn't think too much about it at first. When she found that she had feelings for Sheng Zhiwu that were more than friendship, she was entangled for a while and decided to hide this feeling carefully.

She has experienced too much. She is no longer the girl who could coax someone away with a sentence "You are the first in my heart" when she was in her teens and be with the other person regardless of everything.

In the adult world, there are too many things that cannot be done. She has long learned to face regrets and let go of regrets.

What happened to her in the past made her not confident that she could be with Sheng Zhiwu.

Ye Mei didn't want to risk losing Sheng Zhiwu as a friend to express her feelings to him.

Love is something that will no longer be impulsive after the passionate period.

One day, she will let go of Sheng Zhiwu and treat him as a friend again.

Ye Mei thought secretly.

When she and Sheng Zhiwu finished this order, there was still one day before the Chinese New Year.

The two of them used their connections to buy Chinese New Year supplies in advance, so they didn't have to queue up to buy them.

The winter in Shenzhen is much more comfortable than Beijing, but there are many mosquitoes, rats and ants.

Ye Mei and Sheng Zhiwu took advantage of the fact that before the Chinese New Year, they did a thorough cleaning of the house.

While searching every corner, Ye Mei crushed cockroaches with her left foot and stepped on mice that were trying to escape with her right foot.

No one knows how many surprises are hidden behind the cabinets that were moved open.

The cleaning finally ended with Ye Mei yelling, "Today it's either you or me!"

Sheng Zhiwu counted the things in the house and said in a panic, "Xiao Ye, there are no firecrackers!"

"What?"

Ye Mei looked and saw that there were indeed no firecrackers. She had the Chinese character "Fu" and the Spring Festival couplets, but there were no firecrackers. She hurriedly said, "It's not dark yet, go outside and see if anyone is selling them!"

Firecrackers must be set off as soon as it's past midnight tonight.

Sheng Zhiwu hurried out.

Ye Mei cooked rice porridge and pasted the Chinese character "Fu" at home. It was difficult for her to align the Spring Festival couplets by herself, so she left them there and waited for Sheng Zhiwu to come back, and then went to prepare the dishes.

Even if there were only two people celebrating the New Year, Ye Mei didn't plan to keep it simple. She had to make at least eight dishes, including hot and cold dishes and soup. There had to be everything.

As the sky gradually darkened, Sheng Zhiwu finally came back. He trotted to the door and saw Ye Mei cooking. He breathed a sigh of relief, raised the firecrackers and said, "I bought some. I went to many places, but no one was selling them. I could only ask who had extra ones. I finally begged someone to give me a bunch."

Seeing that he was sweating and her hands were still stained with the smell of meat, Ye Mei said, "Put down the firecrackers, go back to the house, wash your face, and take a rest."

Sheng Zhiwu said, "I'll put down the things and come out to help you. I'll cut the vegetables and you go to cook."

After he finished speaking, he went into the house and came out to help Ye Mei cut the vegetables.

Halfway through, Ye Mei hurriedly said, "The Spring Festival couplets haven't been posted yet!"

The two of them hurriedly put down their kitchen knives and spatulas, moved a chair to the door to post the Spring Festival couplets.

There was a crackling sound, and the neighbor next door poked his head out to see that the two were busy pasting Spring Festival couplets. He turned to the family and said with a smile: "Young couple are busy. They probably just got married and moved out for the first time. They are in a mess!"

Ye Mei was helping Sheng Zhiwu hold the chair. When she heard this, her hands trembled and she almost shook Sheng Zhiwu off the chair.

Sheng Zhiwu quickly held the door frame, but did not complain.

He also heard the neighbor's teasing.

Young couple...

Sheng Zhiwu planned to send some homemade cakes to this neighbor when he went out to set off firecrackers and wished a happy new year at twelve o'clock.

He curled his lips, humming a song in his heart and continued to paste Spring Festival couplets.

Ye Mei originally thought that Sheng Zhiwu would at least say something after being frightened by her shaking.

But unexpectedly, Sheng Zhiwu remained silent.

She felt strange, but she was also guilty, so she didn't dare to ask. She simply pretended that she didn't hear anything and nothing happened. She continued to hold the chair and instructed Sheng Zhiwu to paste the banners straight.

After a while, the Spring Festival couplets were pasted, and Ye Mei hurried to see how the stewed meat was.

Sheng Zhiwu moved the chair into the house, turned around and came out to help Ye Mei.

The corridor was filled with the smell of food.

Ye Mei glanced at the sky, then looked at Sheng Zhiwu next to her with his eyes almost in the pot, and said with a smile: "Are you hungry?"

Sheng Zhiwu nodded like shaking garlic.

Ye Mei added a small bowl of stewed meat to him and said, "Eat it first, you can eat it later."

Sheng Zhiwu took it and didn't eat it immediately, but asked, "Aren't you hungry?"

Ye Mei has a large appetite and digests quickly, so she usually gets hungry earlier than them.

"A little."

Ye Mei hadn't thought about this at first, and didn't feel too hungry, but after Sheng Zhiwu said that, she became hungry.

"You should eat a few bites to fill the gap."

Sheng Zhiwu held the bowl, picked up the chopsticks, picked up the stewed meat and passed it to Ye Mei's mouth.

Ye Mei was cooking, and it was not convenient for her to hold the chopsticks with her hands. She didn't expect Sheng Zhiwu to feed her directly, and her heart couldn't help but jump.

At this moment, she couldn't help but recall the past scenes. It seemed that she and Sheng Zhiwu didn't care about the physical distance between them. They were too casual at ordinary times, which made them look intimate in the eyes of outsiders.

What did Sheng Zhiwu think?

Just because she dressed as a man at the beginning, did he still regard her as a brother?

Ye Mei thought of the shock on Sheng Zhiwu's face when he first knew that she was a woman.

"Eat quickly."

Sheng Zhiwu was a little confused when he saw Ye Mei motionless.

Ye Mei met Sheng Zhiwu's clear eyes and felt that he might not think too much. She concealed the messy thoughts in her heart and ate the meat that Sheng Zhiwu took naturally.

Sheng Zhiwu fed her some, and Ye Mei shook her head and said, "I don't want to eat anymore, you eat it yourself."

After hearing her say this, Sheng Zhiwu stopped feeding her. He looked at the meat left in the bowl, and Sheng Zhiwu picked it up and ate it.

When he put the chopsticks into his mouth, his ears felt hot, probably because he realized something.

But in the end, he still silently ate the meat in the bowl with the chopsticks.

After Ye Mei finished cooking, Sheng Zhiwu brought the dishes into the house and began to wash the pots and dishes.

Ye Mei also washed them, because they would have the New Year's Eve dinner soon, so the two of them washed faster.

Sheng Zhiwu said, "It's almost done, you go in and sit for a while, and I'll add more rice when I'm done."

Ye Mei said, "Okay."

There were only two bowls left, so she took this time to go into the house and rest. After

Sheng Zhiwu finished washing everything, he took the clean dishes and chopsticks into the house.

The two of them were away, and the family would worship their ancestors, so they were a little casual about these rituals, and after finishing them hastily, they got down to business.

Sheng Zhiwu added a full bowl of rice to Ye Mei and a large bowl for himself.

Although there were only two of them, the rented house was small and filled with many things, so it was tidy and full, and they did not feel lonely during the New Year dinner.

"We two have to finish so many dishes. Don't just focus on eating rice, eat more vegetables too."

While Ye Mei was eating, she did not forget to use the serving chopsticks to pick up vegetables for Sheng Zhiwu, filling his bowl so full that he could not put any more. She also complained, "I'll buy you a big bowl later so that you can put more vegetables."

When Sheng Zhiwu heard that she wanted to buy him a bowl, he smiled and nodded, "Okay."

At the end, he added selfishly, "Let's go choose together then. I'll buy you a bowl of the same size so that you won't always be hungry."
