The fried rice looks untouched, with only a small piece missing. It can be judged from the missing piece that Zheng Pianqian has eaten it before. Zhou Yi still remembers her eating habits quite clearly. She eats very well. , likes to eat from one direction, slowly and in small mouths.
He even teased her back then, wondering if there was a teacher in the family who taught her table manners when she was a child. Her upbringing and cultivation were the most outstanding among the women Zhou Yi had come into contact with. If he hadn't come into contact with Rongyue first, he might have Because she has a stereotype about the big families in Hong Kong City, thinking that they all pay as much attention to etiquette in this area as she does.
Zhou Yi always thinks of the past easily now. As the saying goes, when people are not living as they wish, they will unconsciously miss the past. This sentence is perfect for him at this time. .
After Zhou Yi explained that he would pour the water, Zheng Pianqian ignored him and continued to eat with her head down.
While Zhou Yi was pouring water, he secretly turned around and saw her put a small spoonful of fried rice into her mouth and chew it slowly.
Seeing this scene, the corners of Zhou Yi's mouth raised unconsciously.
In order not to make Zheng Pianqing suspicious, Zhou Yi went out after pouring the water and did not stay here for too long.
Zhou Yi put the water on the coffee table and sat down next to Sansan. As soon as his butt touched the sofa, Sansan grabbed his arm and asked in a low voice, "Has mom eaten?"
Zhou Yi nodded, "Yes, I saw it."
Sansan showed a relieved expression, "Fortunately I didn't tell her that you did it."
Zhou Yi: "..."
He was indeed the one who made the fried rice. After Sansan received the news that Zheng Pianxing had returned home, Zhou Yi returned to the kitchen to get busy.
As for the idea of not telling Zheng Pianqing, it was Sansan who thought of it. She reasonedly analyzed that Zheng Pianqing hates him now. No matter how delicious his cooking is, she will not touch it. Therefore, she wants her To eat, you have to tell her that the fried rice was made by aunt.
Zhou Yi thought it made sense. His original intention was not to "cheat" Zheng Pianqing again, but Sansan said that this was not "cheating" because it would not cause serious consequences, so on Monday Convinced.
Sansan did this not to bring Zheng Pianqing and Zhou Yi together, she just thought that the fried rice cooked by Zhou Yi was really delicious, and she hoped that her mother could try it too.
——
Because she had been thinking while eating, Zheng Pianqian ate the meal for more than half an hour.
She dealt with it briefly in the morning. She hadn't eaten all morning. She had a good appetite and finished a plate of fried rice.
When Zheng Pianqing returned to the living room from the dining room, Zhou Yi and Sansan were chatting with Lego. The two seemed very harmonious.
"Mom, you've finished eating." When Sansan saw Zheng Pianqing, she immediately put down what she was holding and stood up to hold her hand, "How did you eat?"
"Well, it's pretty good." Zheng Pianqing replied.
"Mom, are you still busy tomorrow?" Sansan asked.
Zheng Pianqian shook her head, "I'll take you to buy some things for school tomorrow."
Sansan: "Okay, okay."
Zhou Yi tried to get involved in this topic, but when the words came to his lips, he swallowed them in the end - let's take it step by step. At the moment, Zheng Pianqing was willing to let him see Sansan, which was already very kind. He shouldn't push it too far.
Sansan was very concerned about Zheng Pianqing's mood because of what happened before. After she came out, Sansan stayed with her and talked to her. Zhou Yi naturally became the ignored one.
He felt a little uncomfortable, but he agreed with Sansan's choice. Only in this way could Zheng Pianqing feel safe.
At about four o'clock, Zheng Linxu came back.
Zheng Pianqian informed Zheng Linxu before making the decision, so Zheng Linxu was not surprised when he saw Zhou Yi at home.
Zheng Linxu glanced at Zhou Yi and nodded slightly as a greeting. Although it was not warm, it was not easy to do this.
Then, he looked at Zheng Pianqing: "How's it going? Did it go well?"
Zheng Pianqing nodded, "It's okay, let's talk later."
The meaning behind her words can be understood by both adults - she doesn't want to talk about this topic at this time for fear of someone hearing it, it goes without saying.
"Mr. Zheng." After a moment of silence, Zhou Yi took the initiative and called Zheng Linxu, "Let's talk?"
——
Zhou Yi and Zheng Linxu came to the terrace on the top floor of the villa.
There was plenty of sunshine on the third-floor terrace, and Zhou Yi and Zheng Linxu sat down at the wooden table.
Zheng Lin said: "Do you have a problem with me?"
Zhou Yi: "I'm a little worried about her."
He bluntly expressed his thoughts, "I know she compromised because of some considerations. When she talked to me alone in the morning, she didn't seem to be in a good state."
Recalling Zheng Pianqing's state when she said "I will kill you", Zhou Yi felt furious.
He was not afraid that she would actually kill him, but more afraid that her depression would relapse under the strong emotional repression.
Zheng Linxu replied coldly with four words: "Thank you for your gift."
Zhou Yi: "...Did she relapse?"
"You don't have that much influence on her now, so don't take yourself too seriously." Zheng Linxu corrected him in a shameless way this time, "She is just a mother who is worried about losing the love of her child."
"Obviously, in terms of giving her a sense of security, Sansan is better than you before."
What Zheng Linxu told was the truth, and Zhou Yi could not refute it.
Preference is something that can provide people with a sense of security. In fact, he has always known how to provide a sense of security. He can even make it watertight, but he just didn't give it to her at the beginning.
When he wanted to give it now, Zheng Pianqing no longer needed it.
Zhou Yi was confused by Zheng Linxu and couldn't answer for a long time. Zheng Linxu didn't make things difficult for him too much. He just said: "Just focus on Sansan. Don't harass her. It's impossible for you."
Zheng Linxu's words were very calm. It was completely different from the warning he gave to protect the calf many years ago. In the past, Zheng Linxu asked him to stay away from Zheng Pianqing. Although his attitude was very tough, there was a deep worry behind it because Zheng Pianqing was that kind of person. At that time, I was completely devoted to him.
Now Zheng Linxu can say this with such an indifferent attitude because Zheng Pianqing no longer cares about him, and will not go against Zheng Linxu just to be with him like she did in the past.
Now recalling the scene where Zheng Pianqing and Zheng Lin argued with each other, Zhou Yi laughed to himself.
Zheng Linxu knew what was going on when she saw his smile.
"I've always felt that I'm a person who won't regret anything," Zhou Yi said after laughing, "You really can't be too full of words."
"You two were not suitable for each other from the beginning." Zheng Linxu hit the nail on the head, "Pianying and you are not the same kind of people in essence, and forcing us to be together will not bring good results - I know you must have never thought about having a result with her, and she may not be the same. That’s what I told you, but those words are just some of her self-hypnosis words.”
