Chapter 207: Someone’s Doing the Physical Labor Tonight, Let’s Support Them
“Your hair is dry, Xiaoxiao.” Lu Ziyi’s slender fingers gently brushed through Ye Chuxiao’s silky, flowing hair.
He cherished the feeling of the strands winding around his fingers, his heart softening completely, feeling perfectly content.
Ye Chuxiao looked dazed, still lost in memories from deep within.
“What’s wrong, Xiaoxiao?” Lu Ziyi asked with concern, wondering if Xiaoxiao was about to fall asleep again in this short time.
Ye Chuxiao tilted her face up to look at Lu Ziyi, her eyes still hazy, and softly said, “I remember when Father used to blow-dry my hair when I was little.”
“Heh.” Lu Ziyi chuckled awkwardly. Xiaoxiao’s perception of him was first as a brother, and now as a father; it seemed he wasn’t even as good as a brother!
Alas, he was proposing to Xiaoxiao tonight; what were his chances of success? Didn’t Xiaoxiao plan to accept him as a boyfriend and husband?
Lu Ziyi, oh Lu Ziyi, your task is long and arduous!
Lu Ziyi and Ye Chuxiao had a late lunch, so dinner was going to be delayed, and they decided to go grocery shopping.
They returned to the design studio with bags full of groceries at half-past seven in the evening. They went to the kitchen together; Lu Ziyi would cook dinner, and Ye Chuxiao would sort the fresh produce and fruits they bought into the refrigerator.
At this moment, neither of them spoke much, but they smiled faintly, secretly thinking, they looked just like a young married couple!
However! A fly in the ointment! Two big “flies” suddenly appeared at the kitchen entrance, grinning and exclaiming, “Ziyi, Xiaoxiao, you’re making dinner? We just made it in time!”
Lu Ziyi’s face darkened instantly. He glared at the two of them. They knew he was proposing to Xiaoxiao tonight; why were they showing up and causing trouble?
Lu Ziyi suppressed his temper and said with a smile, “I’m sorry, we didn’t plan to cook for four tonight. Could you two please go eat at a restaurant? I’ll cover whatever you eat!”
Cover everything? Such good treatment? However! Zhao Congrui and Lin Houchun raised the plastic bags in their hands and happily told Lu Ziyi, “We brought our own ingredients, we’ll cook ourselves, and we can all eat together!”
Lu Ziyi felt like spitting out a mouthful of old blood!
Ye Chuxiao had already finished organizing the refrigerator. She asked with a smile, “Brother Congrui, Brother Hou Chun, what delicious things did you buy?”
“Oysters, sea cucumbers, and the like; they’re quite nourishing,” Zhao Congrui said gleefully, as if presenting a treasure. “Someone has to do some heavy lifting tonight, so we’re here to support him!”
Lu Ziyi wanted to ask, how many years in prison is murder?
“Xiaoxiao, we’ll handle the cooking,” Zhao Congrui said with a grin. “You go watch TV or listen to music, get some good rest. You’ve worked hard tonight!” Tonight, all of Ziyi’s happy life depends on you!
“It’s not hard,” Ye Chuxiao said, unaware of the unspoken understanding between Zhao Congrui, Lin Houchun, and Lu Ziyi.
“Xiaoxiao, why don’t you go read a book or play on the computer? We’ll take care of things here,” Lin Houchun also said.
The kitchen wasn’t very large, and it would be crowded with Brother Congrui and Brother Hou Chun there. Ye Chuxiao obediently listened and went out to the hall.
Lu Ziyi lowered his voice and warned the two, “What exactly are you trying to do? Can you just disappear for tonight?”
“Hehehe!” Zhao Congrui said in a low voice, “We’ll disappear when it’s time to disappear, but we won’t miss the main event! Ziyi’s proposal, there won’t be a next time!”
Lin Houchun said with a simple, honest tone, “We’re just here to record a video for Ziyi, as a souvenir.”
Lu Ziyi replied with thanks but no thanks, “The surveillance camera on my ceiling records just as well!”
