Chapter 86 Xu Heyi: "It's not that Mrs. Xu is overbearing, it's just that I want to do this."
Jiang Nuanzhu opened her cell phone to ask about Xu Heyi's news, but was afraid of disturbing him at work.
After thinking for a long time, I sent a message.
[Xu Heyi, what time will you be working overtime until tonight?]
After a while, Xu Heyi replied.
[Go home before 11:30. If you're tired, go to bed first. Don't wait for me.]
【You've been working overtime so late, have you had anything to eat? 】
【No. 】
Jiang Nuanzhu suddenly had an idea: should she prepare some midnight snack for Xu Heyi?
She didn't say it directly, but just asked again.
[Are you sure you can get home before 11:30?]
【Can't sleep? 】
"No." Jiang Nuanzhu typed the following words, her cheeks slightly red. "I just want to wait for you to come home."
Ever since getting used to having Mr. Xu by her side at night, Jiang Nuanzhu seemed a little uncomfortable sleeping alone.
I will finish my work as soon as possible and arrive before 11:30.
【I'm waiting for you. 】
After finishing the chat, Jiang Nuanzhu rolled over on the bed, put on a coat and went downstairs at eleven o'clock.
She planned to prepare some midnight snack for Xu Heyi, which was also a small surprise.
There happened to be some fresh shrimp and fish that had been processed by her aunt in the refrigerator, so Jiang Nuanzhu made some seafood porridge.
I took out the mugwort from the drawer and boiled two eggs with mugwort tea.
When Jiang Zhu was stirring the seafood porridge with a spoon, there was a slight noise at the door.
She looked over and saw Xu Heyi changing his shoes.
He had a black windbreaker draped over his arm and wore only a shirt and vest, which made his waist look narrow and his legs straight and slender.
When Xu Heyi raised his eyes, he saw Jiang Nuanzhu peeking out.
His stern brows softened a little, and the coldness disappeared. He hung his windbreaker on the hanger and walked towards the kitchen.
"Why are you in the kitchen so late?"
Jiang Nuanzhu: "Yeah, you're back pretty early. Are you hungry?"
Xu Heyi lowered his eyes, his deep eyes shimmering with a hint of smile: "You haven't had dinner yet, are you hungry?"
"No. It's a midnight snack for you!"
Xu Heyi took a closer look, his eyes moving slightly: "Why is it seafood porridge?"
"You don't like it?"
Xu Heyi said in a deep voice: "There are shrimps in the porridge. Aren't you allergic to shrimps?"
Jiang Nuanzhu felt warm in her heart, "I have received your concern. This is prepared for you. I won't eat it."
Xu Heyi's eyebrows moved.
Jiang Nuanzhu glanced at the porridge: "The porridge is ready, I also cooked two mugwort eggs for you..."
As soon as he finished speaking, Xu Heyi came forward and said, "It's a little hot. Let me serve it."
"That's fine." Jiang Nuanzhu never tries to show off on such a small matter.
Xu Heyi took the eggs and porridge away, and Jiang Nuanzhu took the thermos cup of mugwort tea out of the kitchen.
Jiang Nuanzhu pulled out the chair opposite Xu Heyi and poured out the mugwort tea. "You just came back from outside and you feel cold. Drink this first."
Xu Heyi glanced at the light brown tea, picked up the cup and drank most of it slowly.
Jiang Nuanzhu was stunned. "Is it bitter?"
Xu Heyi put down the cup and said, "It's not bitter."
A smile flickered in his dark eyes: "It's a bit sweet."
Jiang Nuanzhu didn't even need to ask this time to know that Xu Heyi was deliberately teasing her again.
"If it's sweet, drink more." She said deliberately.
Xu Heyi drank the whole cup of mugwort tea with a smile.
This made Jiang Nuanzhu blush.
Jiang Nuanzhu filled a bowl of porridge for Xu Heyi and pushed it over, supporting her chin and saying, "Eat it quickly, or it will get cold."
Xu Heyi stirred the porridge with a spoon, while Jiang Nuanzhu picked up an egg and peeled it.
Xu Heyi quietly watched Jiang Nuanzhu who was carefully peeling eggs. "You are allergic to eggs and shrimp. We don't usually prepare this dish at home."
Jiang Nuanzhu paused while peeling the egg, and said casually, "Last time I was chatting with Grandpa in the hospital, he said you like seafood, especially shrimp. I asked Auntie to prepare some of your favorite dishes at home."
She peeled an egg and handed it to Xu Heyi. Her eyes were clear and bright, with a faint smile.
"You can't stop you from eating your favorite dishes just because I'm allergic?"
"Why not?" Xu Heyi stared at the egg in front of him and took it. "I'm willing to accompany you to eat what you like."
"Am I so domineering?" Jiang Nuanzhu couldn't help laughing.
Xu Heyi said calmly: "It's not that you are overbearing, it's just that I want to do this."
These words were spoken slowly, and they sounded like love words.
Jiang Nuanzhu shook her head seriously: "Xu Heyi, Grandpa Fu once said that husband and wife should tolerate and understand each other. You have been tolerating me all this time, and it is my turn to tolerate you."
If one spouse unilaterally and without limits tolerates the other, it will not be a long-lasting and healthy relationship.
Jiang Nuanzhu said bluntly: "I don't want you to indulge me without any bottom line."
Xu Heyi smiled and said, "I was persuaded by Mrs. Xu."
Jiang Nuanzhu held her chin in her hand and said playfully, "Isn't it because what I said makes sense?"
"Yeah. What you said always makes sense."
Xu Heyi looked serious, yet also seemed to be joking.
Jiang Nuanzhu was so amused by him that she kept smiling with her eyebrows bent.
Xu Heyi curled his lips and smiled, "My Zhubao is so considerate... I like him very much."
"Bamboo treasure?"
This name surprised Jiang Nuanzhu.
Xu Heyi said slowly, "Your friends call you that, too. Can't I?"
"Okay." There was a hint of helplessness in Jiang Nuanzhu's smile.
Faced with Xu Heyi's alternative confession, Jiang Nuanzhu's eyes brightened and her smile could dispel the clouds after the rain.
After having supper with Xu Heyi, Jiang Nuanzhu was about to go upstairs to rest.
As soon as she turned around, a strong arm appeared around her waist.
The next second, Jiang Nuanzhu's feet were hanging in the air.
She leaned helplessly in Xu Heyi's arms and whispered, "I can walk now."
"Yeah." Xu Heyi said calmly: "I just want to hug you."
Jiang Nuanzhu's cheeks flushed slightly, and she took the initiative to put her arms around Xu Heyi's neck, her voice gentle.
"Then... let me hug you."
Xu Heyi's eyebrows raised and the smile on his lips deepened.
After going upstairs, Xu Heyi teased Jiang Nuanzhu for a while and then went to the bathroom to take a shower.
Jiang Nuanzhu lay on the bed, looking at the heavy rain outside the French window, and sighed: "The rain is getting heavier. I don't know if it will stop tomorrow."
She also plans to go to the dance studio tomorrow to check on the situation.
Jiang Nuanzhu hasn't been to the dance studio since her leg injury.
All work is handled online. Although there is no problem for the time being, she will always feel uneasy unless she sees it with her own eyes.
Seeing the light in the bathroom, Jiang Nuanzhu pulled the quilt back into bed and suddenly felt very at ease.
It was the complete opposite of the boredom and emptiness I had just felt.
Jiang Nuanzhu discovered that she seemed to need Mr. Xu's company more and more.
Looking at the ceiling, Jiang Nuanzhu felt drowsy and suddenly remembered something.
She hasn't asked Xu Heyi about her cousin Jiang Ming yet.
When Xu Heyi finished taking a shower, he found that Jiang Nuanzhu had fallen asleep.
He dried his hair, put Jiang Nuanzhu's hands, which were outside, back into the quilt, and turned off the desk lamp.
The lights suddenly dimmed, and Mrs. Xu seemed to be awakened. She looked around blankly, as if looking for something.
When she saw Xu Heyi, she felt relieved and asked in a soft voice, "Are you done washing?"
"Um."
Jiang Nuanzhu nodded randomly, "Then go to sleep quickly, you are tired today."
Xu Heyi sat on the edge of the bed, staring at the lazy Mrs. Xu, and whispered, "Mrs. Xu, I'm done washing up."
"Hmm?" Jiang Nuanzhu's voice rose slightly, a little doubtful, "I know."
She was just a little confused from sleep, not stupid.
Xu Heyi's eyes became more and more fiery, and he said in a deep voice: "Zhu Bao, I want to kiss you."
Jiang Nuanzhu looked at Xu Heyi with a dazed expression.
