Shen Ze was riding his bicycle on the street, hesitating whether he should go find Jian Xiaoxing, and unknowingly walked to the door of the video hall.
Jian Xia saw him and greeted him with a smile, "Chen Chang, are you here to watch a TV series or to look for someone?"
Chen Ze never liked watching those TV dramas. Jian Xia was teasing him. His ears flushed as he asked, "Where is she?"
"Who is it?" Jian Xia asked knowingly.
Shen Ze's face darkened and he ignored her. He glanced inside and after finding that Jian Xiaoxing was not there, he got on his bicycle.
Jian Xia laughed behind him: "She went to the factory."
Shen Ze didn't even look back and pedaled the bike very fast.
When I arrived at the office, I found Jian Xiaoxing there, lying on the table, looking listless.
He thought she was still angry with him, so he called her into his room and apologized to her again.
Jian Xiaoxing looked at his sincere face and was stunned at first, then laughed and said, "Your 10,000-word paper has already made me calm down! I was worried about Jian Xia."
The corners of Shen Ze's mouth curled up, and he felt a lot more relaxed. As long as she was not angry, it would be fine. However, what could Jian Xia do that would bother her?
"I just saw her, she was smiling happily!" Shen Ze was puzzled.
Jian Xiaoxing shrugged: "That's what I'm worried about. She's going to marry Yu Biao."
Shen Ze didn't expect that she would talk about such a topic with him. He coughed twice unnaturally and said, "Actually, I'm not optimistic about Yu Biao either. He doesn't seem very stable and down-to-earth."
The last time Yu Biao did something so hurtful to him, he said too much and it seemed like revenge, but he could see that Jian Xiaoxing was also a little worried about this man.
"Not only is he unstable, he's also frivolous. He actually..."
Jian Xiaoxing didn't continue talking. Jian Xia's pregnancy had not been made public yet, and it seemed inappropriate for her to say it like that, so she had to change her words.
"He actually wanted to marry Jian Xia even though she wasn't even 20 yet, and even mentioned proposing marriage!"
After hearing this, Chen Ze's face turned red. Didn't he also get engaged to Jian Xiaoxing when she was less than 20 years old?
Although they were engaged by agreement, they had never even held hands. If she remembered the kiss they had hugged and kissed that night, would she also feel that she was frivolous?
"As the saying goes, only the person who drinks the water knows whether it is hot or cold. If they have discussed it, your worry will be useless. You can only wish her happiness!" Chen Ze didn't know how to comfort her.
That's all there is to it.
What she was most worried about was how her uncle and aunt would accept this reality.
In order to divert her attention, Shen Ze threw a bunch of work at her. The two of them worked together and unknowingly worked until very late.
Jian Xiaoxing's stomach growled, and Shen Ze realized that they hadn't had dinner yet.
It was already past nine o'clock in the evening and there was no food left in the cafeteria.
Jian Xiaoxing thought of the wontons that Shen Ze made for him that night at the social gathering and suggested, "Why not make it yourself?"
Shen Ze understood, picked up his coat and went to the cafeteria with her.
In the cafeteria on weekends, the employees have less workload and leave work early. Only one light is left on inside, and there is not a single person in sight.
As they approached the kitchen, they simultaneously heard a painful groan coming from inside.
The two of them hurried into the kitchen from the back. After searching for a while, they saw a thin figure lying on the ground next to the tall stove. He stretched out his dry hands in despair to reach a white medicine bottle just a few feet away from him.
Jian Xiaoxing hurried over, picked up the medicine bottle, poured out a pill into his hand and handed it to the old man.
Shen Ze also squatted down beside him and slowly helped him sit up. Only then did he recognize that the old man was the old man who asked them to cook wontons themselves that night.
After a few minutes, the old man gradually recovered and sat down on a chair with the help of two people.
"I'm lucky enough to meet you two again." The old man smiled weakly.
Normally, at this time, he is the only one in the cafeteria collecting kitchen leftovers, and other employees can only come in the morning.
If the two of them hadn't come over, he would have been in great danger this time.
Jian Xiaoxing suggested that he go to the hospital immediately, but he firmly refused, "It's an old problem. I forgot to take my medicine today and it got worse."
Not only did he not want to go to the hospital, he also insisted on finishing his work before leaving.
Later, I learned from others that the old man was a steel factory worker. After retirement, he used his evenings to contract the job of collecting kitchen waste in the chemical factory canteen because he had to push his wheelchair-bound wife out to play during the day.
It is said that it is difficult for a man to stay with his sick spouse, but I didn’t expect this old man to be so affectionate.
After the old man left, he gave the kitchen to Shen Ze and Jian Xiaoxing as usual. When he left, he did not forget to say: "You two are a perfect match, cherish each other!"
Jian Xiaoxing wanted to explain, but the old man had already left pushing the big trash can.
She glanced at Shen Ze's faint smile, as if he didn't mind being misunderstood.
After the old man left, the two began to look for food.
Shen Ze didn't find the wrapped wontons, only some wonton wrappers.
"We need to make them fresh. How many do you want to eat?" Shen Ze took out some meat filling from the refrigerator.
Jian Xiaoxing blinked and thought for a moment, "Twenty, maybe? I'm so hungry!"
After saying that, he rolled up his sleeves embarrassedly and wanted to help.
"Don't get your hands dirty. I can make dozens of wontons quickly. Just bear with it for a while!" Shen Ze said in a deep voice.
When he spoke in a low voice, his voice was magnetic and extremely gentle.
Jian Xiaoxing rested her elbows on the table, holding her face and watching him pack.
Shen Ze was very satisfied. Although he didn't get to taste the food she cooked, being able to make wontons for her seemed to make him happier.
He pulled up the corners of his mouth, trying to give her a big smile.
After making such an expression, Jian Xiaoxing laughed and said, "Chen Chang, your smile is so unnatural!"
He pursed his lips, his black eyes sparkling under the light. Jian Xiaoxing thought he was extremely sexy, and his movements of making wontons were full of power.
In the future, his wife will definitely be very happy, as she can often eat meals cooked by him.
Looking at his broad back that would be busy working for another woman in the future, Jian Xiaoxing felt a little sore in the corners of her eyes. She quickly turned around and raised her head.
Soon, she recovered from her uneasy mood. It was really annoying to think about these vague things.
Let's take it one step at a time. Men are not a necessity to her, so there is no need to think too much about it.
When she was eating wontons, her expression was normal, and she even praised Chen Ze, saying that the wontons he made were delicious.
Chen Ze's expression was gentle, and he seemed to enjoy her compliments. She hoped that he would assign her less work in the future!
After they finished their meal, they returned to their dormitories.
As soon as Jian Xiaoxing entered the house, her roommate told her that someone had come to see her and said that something had happened at home and asked her to go home.
It was already past ten o'clock in the evening, and the road from the factory to the living area was no longer safe, so she had no choice but to run to a building and knock on Shen Ze's door.
