The more she talked, the fainter the smile on Sheng Yi's face became, but Zhu Qing seemed not to notice and kept talking.
"...So, Sheng Yi, you really can't take all my problems upon yourself, otherwise I might feel really embarrassed to bother you again in the future..."
Sheng Yi stopped what he was doing, listened silently to her finish speaking, and then sighed softly.
"Okay, okay, I thought we didn't need to be so clear about things. It's my business if I want to take care of you, and I have a lot of reasons to give."
But now it seems you're bothered by what I've done, aren't you?"
Zhu Qinghao thought she had said something hurtful and waved her hands repeatedly.
"No, no, no, it's not that. It's really not a problem. It's just that there might be a little bit of pressure. I feel like you're being too good to me, and I might not be able to reciprocate in kind. That doesn't seem right..."
"Okay, okay, what if I said that all of this was of my own free will? It might be a bit presumptuous of me to say this, since we haven't been back together for very long, but there are some things I just can't hold back and want to tell you."
Haohao is a smart girl, I know you understand what I mean, so now I want to ask, are you ready to listen to what I have to say?
If not, I can wait a bit longer, it's okay.
After all, we've waited all these years.
Zhu Qinghao pursed her lips, not expecting that the topic would eventually come back to this.
She seemed to have guessed what Sheng Yi wanted to say, and of course she had her own thoughts as well, but for the moment she couldn't figure out how to express them.
"Brother Sheng Yi, could you give me some time to think about it? I also have something to say, but I haven't quite figured out how to express it appropriately."
Sheng Yi felt a slight regret, but he quickly felt relieved.
Based on Zhu Qinghao's current behavior, he knew that the two of them had roughly the same idea. However, Zhu Qinghao did need time, and he couldn't push her too hard.
"Sure, I'm not going anywhere for a while anyway, so I have plenty of time to listen to you. You can think about it slowly, no need to rush."
Sheng Yi agreed very readily, and there was no sign of displeasure on his face, which put Zhu Qinghao at ease.
"Okay, I'll definitely figure it out before you leave."
Sheng Yi was still kneading dough when he heard this. He looked up at her and chuckled softly.
"Silly girl, there's no need to put so much pressure on yourself."
"Yes, I know."
The two smiled at each other and then got busy preparing dinner.
During the cooking process, Sheng Yi explained the purpose of all the things he had bought.
It turned out that he was thinking about his departure, so he prepared some steamed buns, dumplings, and other similar items for Zhu Qinghao and Grandpa Sheng to store away.
These things keep well in winter and are convenient to eat; you can just steam them when the time comes.
Zhu Qinghao happily accepted this time. Not only that, she also went over to learn how to wrap them with him. Before dinner, the two of them (mainly Sheng Yi) wrapped a huge pile.
"Alright, that's enough for today. You wait inside while I take this outside to freeze it. That way it will be easier for you to take it to the cowshed later."
That evening, the two of them ate dumplings. Zhu Qing couldn't understand why, even though they were the same dumplings with the same fillings, the ones Sheng Yi made tasted so much better than the ones outside.
Could it be that he also possesses a magical spring that can subtly alter the taste of food?
