There was just one thing he didn't do.
"Do you eat spicy food?" he asked.
"Mmm!" Shen Zhiyi nodded, and even thinking about the delicious breakfast made her mouth water. "I can eat medium spicy food."
Lu Yanzhuo's gaze swept around her room.
Her preferences can be seen in the small decorative items.
"Then... spicy and sour lemon shrimp, braised abalone with soft center, stir-fried pork with chili, spicy boiled fish, garlic vermicelli and baby bok choy, and... coconut chicken soup."
"How about we make lemon mousse for dessert?"
"Okay! Okay! Of course it's okay!" Shen Zhiyi swallowed hard.
Each and every one of these is one of her favorite dishes!
She looked at him with bright eyes.
When should we eat?
Lu Yanzhuo propped his elbow on the side of the sofa, rubbed the short scar at the end of his eyebrow, and glanced at her with a smile in his eyes.
"Didn't you just say you weren't going to eat?"
Shen Zhiyi's eyes widened.
When did I say I wasn't going to eat anymore?
"I didn't say a single word of 'no'!"
"I'm talking about you!" she pointed at him, her voice accusing. "You're the one who said you wouldn't eat it."
She puffed up her cheeks, like a protesting guinea pig.
Lu Yanzhuo lowered his eyes and chuckled silently.
He stood up, picked up the toolbox from the ground, and said, "Then tomorrow at noon."
"Come and eat."

Shen Zhiyi practically counted down the days until the next day.
She went to knock on the door next door early in the morning.
Just then, Lu Yanzhuo went out. "I'm going to buy groceries. You play with Gangbeng for a while."
"Do you want me to come with you?"
"No need." He tilted his head. "Let's go inside and have breakfast."
"I'll be back soon."
He made purple rice soy milk today.
She'll probably like it.
Shen Zhiyi twitched her nose.
Swayed by the warm aroma, she said, "Okay, I'll wait for you at home."
Lu Yanzhuo went out.
After finishing her meal and cleaning up the dishes, Shen Zhiyi sat on the sofa and played with Gangbeng.
I thought about the food he cooked all night yesterday and didn't sleep well at all.
Now that I'm full and have had enough to eat and drink, I feel sleepy.
Bathed in warm sunlight, she leaned against the sofa, fumbling with coins as she drifted off to sleep.
When Lu Yanzhuo returned, he put down the vegetables and walked to her side.
She was already lying on the side of the sofa, fast asleep.
His features were gentle.
I brought a blanket and draped it over her.
Turning his head, he saw Gangbeng squatting on the ground next to her, even touching her hand. His expression hardened, and he kicked Gangbeng aside.
He squatted down in front of her.
He leaned closer and gently brushed away the stray hairs that had fallen to the side of her face.
Joy arises from the pleasure of skin contact.
She was the only person he was willing to touch.
Perhaps that's why her body and mind didn't resist her.
On the contrary, he craved her immensely.
The soft morning sunlight shone on her face, condensing into a gentle spot of light on her lips.
As soft as flower petals.
Lu Yanzhuo pursed his lips and stared intently at her.
Darkness surged in his eyes.
He reached out, and just as he was about to touch her lips, a dog's paw stopped him.
Lu Yanzhuo stopped moving.
Turning around, he saw Gangbeng staring at him warily.
He rubbed his cheek.
I almost laughed out of anger.
He swatted away the pesky paw and muttered through gritted teeth, "You little brat, never been beaten before?"
