Out of courtesy, Lin Yuxi finally invited him in.
But forget about making tea, she really doesn't have that many manners.
Zhou Yanjing walked in and looked around slowly.
After all, it was a house built twenty years ago. The design and decoration were more classical. After Lin Yuxi got the house back from her aunt, she tidied it up again.
The door locks were changed. Although many of the old furniture in the house were left behind by her parents, they had been used by her aunt's family for nearly twenty years. She was a bit of a germophobe, so she emptied them all.
After the house was cleaned, all the toilets, appliances and everything that could be replaced were replaced, and the furniture was chosen to be similar to the previous style.
Her parents' photos were back on the wall.
Zhou Yanjing said: "Your little savings will be almost spent after buying these things."
In the past few years with him, there was almost nothing that Lin Yuxi needed to spend money on. Someone had arranged for food and clothing, and saved all her salary and bonuses.
But the doctor's salary is not that high, and more than half of it was spent at once.
"None of your business." Lin Yuxi said, "What do you want to talk about?"
"Didn't you say you wanted to talk to me yesterday?" Zhou Yanjing asked her, "What did you want to say at that time?"
"There is nothing left to talk about between us." Lin Yuxi was wrapped in a knitted jacket. "I'm free these days. Please take some time to come out and we'll complete the formalities."
Zhou Yanjing felt that his breathing was a little stagnant. He subconsciously wanted to pull off his tie, but when he raised his hand, he realized that there was nothing on his neck.
It turns out that feeling depressed is not a problem with the tie.
"There's no rush," he said, "I'll let the lawyer draw up an agreement first."
"It's not necessary." Lin Yuxi felt that it would be more complicated. "We don't have children, and we don't have property involved, so there's no need to bother."
"Why is it not necessary?" Zhou Yanjing raised his chin, "You couldn't live in the villa in Songyun Bay and came to live in such a dangerous house. If word spread, people will think that I, Zhou Yanjing, am someone who treats my wife like this."
"Ex-wife." Lin Yuxi frowned, "Why is my house in danger?"
"How come it's not a dilapidated house? Houses that are more than 20 years old are called dilapidated houses." Zhou Yanjing said, "You are not afraid of the dark. Living in such an old house, you are not afraid of being haunted."
I am not afraid that ghosts really exist, but I am afraid that people will have random thoughts at night.
Lin Yuxi didn't think it was scary at first, but now that he said it, if she turned off the lights at night, a ghost movie would start playing in her mind.
She suddenly remembered that there was no floor lamp in the bedroom now. It was already white when she went to bed this morning, and she was so tired that she fell asleep and didn't care about it. But at night...
"Shut up!" Lin Yuxi was so angry that she almost wanted to hit him, "This is my parents' house."
Zhou Yanjing looked at her leisurely: "I'm not talking about your parents. They have been dead for almost twenty years, and they are considered senior among ghosts. Maybe when I see you moving back, I will bring my relatives and friends back to see you when I am happy. Look at you, standing in a circle around your bed in the middle of the night, watching you sleep with smiles.”
Although Lin Yuxi missed her parents very much, thinking about it, if she saw them on the bedside in the middle of the night... it would be quite hairy.
She was so angry that she kicked Zhou Yanjing in the calf: "You're so annoying!"
Her kick was so rude that Zhou Yan Jingdu hissed, but for some reason, the suffocating feeling in his heart actually felt better.
Just, pretty cheap.
Maybe it's because she hasn't lost her temper with him for a long time, and she used to like to kick him when she was annoyed. His temperament was like that of a stubborn little donkey, but he spoiled her. When he was angry, he would show off to him. He had never given in to him. Every time, he lowered his head to coax her.
The slippers flew off Lin Yuxi's feet. She quickly put her toes on the other shoe and held on to the table next to her to steady herself.
Zhou Yanjing bent down to pick up her slippers that flew away, squatted down on one knee, and held up her calf to help her put them on.
Lin Yuxi pursed her lips and put her feet back: "I can wear it myself."
Zhou Yanjing grabbed her ankle and pulled her leg back. Lin Yuxi refused, so he pulled her back and forth for several rounds.
Zhou Yanjing lazily raised his eyelids: "If you move again, you will be exposed."
"..." Lin Yuxi immediately froze, gathered up the knitted jacket on her body, and wrapped the nightgown inside.
Zhou Yanjing helped her put on her slippers and let go. Lin Yuxi immediately put her feet on the ground and took a step back.
Zhou Yanjing stood up and softened his tone: "If you don't want to live in Songyun Bay, I will transfer the ownership of the villa in the northern suburbs to you."
Lin Yuxi glanced at him, and her reaction was much duller than he expected.
"No, I don't want it anymore."
That villa no longer meant anything to her.
The unreasonable irritability emerged again, and Zhou Yanjing felt uncomfortable again.
"Sometimes I want it, sometimes I don't want it. Lin Yuxi, why are you so fickle?"
"It's hard to guess what you're thinking when you don't give it for a while and then give it again." Lin Yuxi said in a calm tone and choked back.
"I told Yang Kang last time that I don't want a house, just give it to me in cash."
"The company's capital chain has been tight recently and we don't have that much cash."
Lin Yuxi said: "Then don't do it."
His tone was quite calm, he wasn't angry with anyone, he really didn't care.
Anyway, the remuneration in the agreement was already considerable, and the original desire for a house in the northern suburbs was just a nostalgia for the tenderness of the past.
Since those are all fake, the house doesn't matter.
She didn't want anything, but Zhou Yanjing didn't seem happy at all. He muttered, "It's a huge sum of money. If you say you don't want it, you don't want it. Dr. Lin really treats money like dirt."
"Don't you have no money?" Lin Yuxi felt that he was really difficult to take care of.
"I have no money, but I have a house. Songyunwan will give it to you, and you can move back in."
Zhou Yanjing couldn't explain what he was thinking. Maybe he was frightened by Yu Jiaxiao today, and he had to put people under his nose to feel at ease.
He paused for half a second and said, "I'm moving away."
Lin Yuxi didn't want to get entangled with him on such unnecessary matters anymore. If he insisted on giving the house, he could give it to him. At worst, he could get it and sell it.
Who can think of too much money?
"It's whatever you say. Let the lawyer draw up the agreement and let me know. Your mother has urged me several times."
"You don't have to answer her calls from now on. I'll tell her if there's anything."
After Zhou Yanjing finished speaking, he was silent for a few seconds, and then the topic changed inexplicably: "Lin Yuxi, the food you cook is really terrible."
Lin Yuxi was a little annoyed: "I didn't let you eat it!"
After saying that, he realized that he had eaten the dishes she cooked last night?
It's already cooled down, how delicious it can be.
Yu Jiaxiao came back with two large bags of ingredients from the supermarket downstairs in the community. Zhou Yanjing had already left.
Lin Yuxi's sleepiness was also disturbed by them. She washed her face and brushed her teeth, put all the dishes in the refrigerator, and started cooking.
"Is it too late to have breakfast at this time?" Yu Jia said with a smile.
Lin Yuxi studied the menu without raising her head: "Lunch."
"Damn." Yu Jiaxiao added, "Is it too early to start making lunch at this hour?"
Lin Yuxi didn't know whether it was because she was full of enthusiasm for her new life, or because Zhou Yanjing's words before leaving aroused her competitive spirit. In short, she was now full of fighting spirit to conquer the kitchen.
"Xiaoxiao, do you want to eat roasted onion chicken or lemon chicken?"
"Can't I eat them all?"
Lin Yuxi thought for a few seconds: "Then let's have three cups of chicken."
She strictly followed the recipe, and even the grams of seasonings were calculated based on the ratio of ingredients to one decimal place.
While cooking, Yu Jiaxiao rummaged through the entire house like a cow plowing the fields, and found her dead cell phone in a box with sundries.
"You put it so high, it's weird that you can find it!"
The food was put on the table, including three cups of chicken, coriander beef, lotus root and pork ribs soup, and four steamed crabs that Chu Weidong had just paid for. They looked pretty good.
Yu Jia smiled and drooled: "I'll go! Is this the learning ability of your top students?"
Lin Yuxi was full of confidence: "I feel that I am quite talented."
Yu Jiaxiao directly pinched a piece of chicken and stuffed it into her mouth.
Lin Yuxi didn't care about criticizing her for being unhygienic, and asked brightly: "How is it?"
Yu Jia smiled and chewed a few times: "Haha!"
"What does haha mean?"
Yu Jiaxiao covered her mouth and rushed into the toilet: "Ugh..."
Lin Yuxi: "..."
