Such a cool and aloof person, who is not like other people, actually walks with his wife holding her hand. It is like a miracle. How can it not surprise everyone?

After Ji Ling returned home, she asked if there was anything to eat and went into the kitchen. Probably because no one came home often, there were no other dishes except a few potatoes and radishes.

After Zhu Weidong followed in and saw this, he said he was going out to buy groceries, but was stopped by Ji Ling.

"Just eat this meal. We're both away tomorrow, and the food will rot if we buy it. These are enough. You didn't get a good night's rest, so take a nap first. I'll make something delicious and call you."

Zhu Weidong thought for a moment and said, "I'll go take a shower and come back to help you."

Ji Ling took the apron hanging on the side and looked at him with a sidelong smile, "Sometimes what others say may not be right. Although men should be considerate of women, they don't need to be too polite when they are together. That would make them alienated."

Zhu Weidong was a studious student. He listened carefully to the advice and went to take a shower.

Ji Ling cooked rice, peeled and steamed potatoes, planning to make mashed potatoes. While steaming the potatoes, she cut carrots into shreds, stir-fried them with more vinegar, and made stir-fried sour carrots.

When Zhu Weidong came out, Ji Ling had finished frying the radish and steaming the potatoes. She chopped the green onions and put them in the mashed potatoes. She also peeled the two eggs that were boiled while steaming the potatoes and put them into the mashed potatoes, then added salt and MSG and mixed them.

Hearing the noise, he turned around and saw Zhu Weidong coming over, his hair still wet. He smiled and handed him the mashed potatoes, "The rice is ready, I'll serve it."

Zhu Weidong took it, turned around and picked up the chopsticks before going to the dining table.

When the two sat down to eat, Zhu Weidong said, "After dinner, go take a shower and I'll clean up."

The first bite he took was the pickled radish, and he was obviously very satisfied with the dish, so he ate two bites in a row.

There is no one who doesn’t like the feeling of having the food they cook recognized. During this time, Zhu Weidong said that he left in a hurry and didn’t go to his home, otherwise he could ask if there was any message or thing he could bring to her.

Ji Ling asked casually, "When I was away, did you and my dad hang out a lot?"

"Every time I come back from the construction site, if I don't have much time, I will go to see your parents." Zhu Weidong said, "You are too impatient to marry me, your family will worry, I go there often, they will feel at ease."

"Actually, there's no need to be like this. You also know that I don't get along very well with my family. In order to get my dad's surgery done, my mom sold my college admission letter and even said that as long as I paid for my dad's surgery, she would no longer control my life in the future." Zhu Weidong knew all about her situation, and Ji Ling didn't hide anything when she talked about it with him.

Zhu Weidong was very elegant when eating, but his appetite was huge. When Ji Ling was talking, he brought back another bowl of rice, and only spoke after he sat down, "Your father sold his job and now has his own shop. Ji Ke came to me the day before yesterday and told me about it. I heard that your father gets up early and works late to deal with the shop, and he often has headaches because he doesn't get enough rest, which even caused your parents to have a cold war."

Ji Ling said, "I didn't call home last week during the holiday, and my eldest brother didn't mention this matter. I'll call and ask later."

Zhu Weidong said, "By the way, I heard from Ji Ke that your father has installed a telephone in his store. You can ask your eldest brother."

Ji Ling looked at him with a smile, "Ji Ke always tells you about my family?"

"She told grandma." Zhu Weidong said, "Grandma told me."

Ji Ling raised her eyebrows, "So Ji Ke and grandma get along very well."

"Grandma is good to the younger generation." Zhu Weidong looked up at her, "She's even better to you."

Ji Ling smiled, "Has anyone ever told you that you're not good at sweet talk?"

"I'm telling the truth."

Ji Ling stopped teasing him. After dinner, she didn't bother to be polite with Zhu Weidong and went back upstairs to take a shower. When she came out, Zhu Weidong was already leaning against the bed with a book in his hand.

She walked over and asked, "Rest so early?"

Zhu Weidong put down the book and said, "We have to leave early tomorrow. We traveled all night yesterday without any rest. Do you want to read some more?"

Ji Ling: "You didn't get enough rest, so go to bed early."

Although I know that this person is not up to any ulterior motive, I always end up making such misunderstandings accidentally. I have misunderstood him many times before, and it seems that it was always for this reason.

Ji Ling was lying on the bed, and Zhu Weidong turned off the lights, leaving only the bedside lamp on.

In the dim room, time passed by little by little, and the room was so quiet that I could hear my own heartbeat.

Ji Ling was thinking about what Zhu Weidong said on the bus. She waited for a while but saw no movement. Just as she relaxed, she felt him turn over and his arm around her waist.

His voice was a little hoarse, "Grandma said that she would arrange for my parents to come to your house in December. Can you take a leave then?"

Ji Ling was held tightly in his arms. Even through her pajamas, she still felt that his body was too hot, and it made her whole body feel hot as well.

"Please ask for leave, otherwise it will be embarrassing for your parents to go there."

"Then just hold the wedding there first, and then hold another one here."

Ji Ling wanted to respond, but only uttered a "hmm". The words she was about to say were seen back by Zhu Weidong.

This kind of thing between men and women seems to be innate. It is the first time for both of them. Although there is some confusion at the beginning, it comes naturally in the end.

Ji Ling felt like a lonely boat in the sea, drifting all night long, and finally fell into a deep sleep exhausted.

She felt like she had just fallen asleep when it was already dawn. She heard some noises and opened her eyes to find Zhu Weidong getting dressed.

He also heard the movement on the bed and turned around, "It's just past four o'clock, you can sleep a little longer, I'll set the alarm for you to half past six, after you get up, you can go out to have some breakfast and then go to school."

Ji Ling wanted to see him off, but she was too tired. Her whole body ached, and she felt sleepy and exhausted. She only had time to tell him to be careful on the road before she fell into a deep sleep again.

Zhu Weidong pulled the quilt over her before leaving and she didn't notice.

When Ji Ling woke up again, she was woken up by the alarm clock. Zhu Weidong's words flashed through her mind. She quickly sat up and became alert.

After getting dressed and making her bed, Ji Ling rushed to school and met Chang Ya at the gate of the compound.

"Ji Ling, why are you here alone? Where's Brother Zhu?"

Ji Ling stopped and deliberately tugged at her collar, "He has returned to H Province. I will be late for school. I'm leaving first."

Chang Ya's eyes fell on the mark on her neck, and she froze. Seeing this, Ji Ling was very satisfied. If she wasn't in a hurry, how could she provoke Chang Ya like this? Jiang Zheng targeted her at school, but it was all thanks to Chang Ya. Ji Ling didn't care about it, but she wasn't the one who would suffer a loss.

Chang Ya waited until Ji Ling was far away before coming back to her senses.
