e do you want to keep"After chatting for a while, the conversation naturally turned to Shu Tinglan. Zhou Ma also inquired about her family background indirectly.Shu Tinglan is no longer shy about her...A person had already gotten used to it, ordering a plate of dumplings and watching the Spring Festival Gala. When the host announced the countdown, she turned off the television and went to sleep. This day was very ordinary, no different from usual. 。Zhou Ming: “I took a few friends on a road trip this year, driving along the provincial roads. We just went wherever we wanted, it was very free and easy. Would you like to join us I could introduce you to my friends.” 。At the sound of Zhou Ming's words, everyone in the office immediately cheered. "Zhou Lü is skilled!" 。One look at Zhou Li's actions, and you know if there's any real threat. 。"Tinglan, please agree to go with me." 。Zhou Li's friends are all industry elites, meeting them this time is a worthwhile investment. 。Zhou Ming's words were very suggestive and ambiguous. Shu Tinglan smiled and refused.
"No, Teacher Zhou, I get carsick. I don't want to throw up on you on the way back - that would be too disappointing." 。"Tsk tsk, Lan really knows how to speak." 。The refusal is clear. 。Shu Tinglan didn't want to make any scandals at the law firm, she just wanted to work hard and strive to be able to take on projects and make money independently as soon as possible. 。Zhou Ming wasn't angry, and he continued happily: "Anyone who wants to join our road trip, sign up anytime. There's only one spot left." 。Everyone chuckled and brushed it off, not letting the little incident bother them. After all, they were all busy. 。In a blink of an eye, a week has passed. The official holiday begins on New Year's Eve. 。Lin Zhiyao's plane was returning home that day, and the night before she had softened and persuaded Shu Tinglan to go back to her hometown for the New Year. 。"No, please tell my uncle and aunt hello for me." 。"Don't you want to come home with me My parents have mentioned it several times, asking me to definitely bring you back this time." 。Let's do that another time. 。This year has been a bit tiring and I don't feel like doing much. I'm going to take advantage of the holiday to get some good rest. After work, things will be very busy. 。"
Okay, whatever you say" 。Anyway, going back home just means listening to my parents nag me about marriage and having kids, which is really annoying. 。I'll try my best to come back early to be with you. 。"Senzhou, a city with a population of over 10 million, is mostly populated by outsiders. During the Chinese New Year, Senzhou becomes an empty city, with everything deserted, and even cars on the streets are hard to find." 。For past years' New Year's Eve dinners, Shu Tinglan had always ordered takeout. But this year, her kitchen, due to Zhu Yu'an, was no longer just a decoration; it had a touch of warmth and liveliness. 。On a sudden whim, she thought to herself, why not go to the supermarket and buy some vegetables She could look up tutorials online and try cooking. It couldn't be that difficult, could it 。But soon, she regretted it, for when the emcee's loud voice rang out on stage that spring evening, her kitchen was still a mess. 。Tomato and egg, she was following a recipe online, but why were they all just red in her bowl, couldn't tell which were the eggs and which were the tomatoes Her rice, why was it rawThe braised pork ribs, why were they black and charred like coalShe watched the tutorial, it seemed simple, and she also saw Zhuo Yu an make it look simple too. 。What's worse, the sink is clogged. The cutting board, pots and pans are all in disrepair, piled haphazardly on the countertop, leaving her completely unable to begin cooking. 。The lively dancing and singing on TV made her feel even more embarrassed. For the first time, she realized how helpless she was. 。My stomach is growling because I haven't eaten since lunch. I've been busy shopping at the supermarket all afternoon and haven't had a single sip of water. 。Humans are also tired and exhausted. 。She cut into the blackened ribs with her knife and fork, thinking that even taking a bite wouldn't make it this unbearable. 。But when I cut it open, I found that it was still red inside, with bloodstains all over it. It was completely uneatable. My emotions instantly spiraled out of control, and I broke down, curling up on the sofa, wanting to cry. 。。The sound of a key turning in the lock came from behind. Who would come to her house at this time Lin Zhixuan had gone back to her hometown for the New Year, and Zhuo Yu'an had also gone home to spend the New Year with his family. Could it be a thief Did they want her to suffer even more She was both frightened and furious, holding a wrench behind the door, ready to fight the other person to the death. 。The door lock clicked, and the door swung open! "...." Shu Tinglan drew in a sharp breath, ready to strike, but when he saw the smiling, gentle man standing at the door, his face as bright and clear as a summer breeze, he froze mid-action. He stared blankly for a long time before finally reacting, "You...you, weren't you supposed to be going back to your parents' house for the new year""Well," 。He frowned, taking the wrench from her hand. He pulled her into his arms and whispered,
"What are you doing"
"Nothing, just watching the Spring Festival Gala" 。She mumbled in his arms, and she had to admit that the heart that had been fluttering all along suddenly settled when she saw him this moment. It felt very grounded. 。"Have you eaten" He didn't ask until now, and the moment he did, Shu Tinglan felt a pang of hunger, as well as a deep sense of defeat. 。I brought you a New Year's Eve dinner. 。He let her go and brought in a small insulated cooler from outside, heading towards the kitchen. 。Seeing him go to the kitchen, Shu Tinglan's head buzzed instantly. Her kitchen was a mess and absolutely couldn't be seen by Zhuo Yu'an. 。 。Let's watch the Spring Festival Gala together. 。"What did you eat" Zhuo Y uan didn't believe she had eaten at all. In his experience, as long as he wasn't at her house in the evening, she wouldn't have a proper meal. 。
"Dumplings, really" 。I'm not hungry at all now. 。Shu Tinglan opened her eyes and told a blatant lie. 。"Let me heat up the food."
He remained unmoved and insisted on going into the kitchen. 。Shu Tinglan shook her head at him, forbidding him from entering the kitchen. The kitchen was too messy, making her look incompetent. 。Zuo Yu'an frowned again.
"Is there someone inside"
Shu Tinglan shook her head desperately. 。The more she acted like that, the more suspicious Zhu Yu'an became. He stared intently at Shu Tinglan, making her feel guilty and uneasy. She silently moved aside to let him enter the doorway. 。Zhuo Y uan entered the kitchen as he wished, Shu Tinglan took a deep breath, as expected, came Zhuo Y uan's roar:
"Shu...Ting...Lan, how did you grow up"
The water in the sink was still blocked, and there were unidentified objects floating in it. 。
Pots, pans and utensils are scattered about haphazardly. The pots are black from use. Vegetables and meat sit on the cutting board; some chopped finely, others still in large chunks.
Shu Tinglan only saw Zhu Yuyan's anger value skyrocketing. She fearlessly said: "I won't let you in, and you insist on coming in." 。"
Be quiet" 。He was gloved up, ready to clean up the battlefield. 。"Hey, it's the new year, don't be angry" 。Shu Tinglan stood at the door persuading. 。Zhuo Yu'an glared at her, placed the insulated food box on the outdoor table, and said fiercely: "Starve first." 。"Turning back, she began cleaning her kitchen." 。Tall and lanky, long legs, broad shoulders and narrow waist, wearing a shirt, suit pants, the standard model figure. At this time, the sleeves of his shirt were rolled up in sections, bowing his head to clean the pots and pans. His temperament was both incongruous with the kitchen and strangely harmonious, a very contradictory feeling. 。operate inside and outside to rescue Dafang first. That's why he only discovered Gu Ruandong and his group who arrived at the same time after arriving.He turned and went back to his car. He took out t...
