Xu Wantang didn't care at all that Lu Yunzheng left her behind.
She felt awkward walking side by side with Lu Yunzheng instead of walking alone.
Lu Yunzheng's legs were longer than hers and he walked faster than her. Xu Wantang was soon left behind.
She was not in a hurry and walked slowly at her original speed.
After entering the house, Lu Yunzheng entered the bathroom, probably to take a shower.
The weather is hot in summer, and you will break out in sweat even if you take even a few steps outside.
Xu Wantang's body was also sticky, so she could use this time to process the seafood in the little red bucket, so as not to sweat again after taking a bath, which was no different from washing in vain.
There is no need to handle the crabs, just steam them when the time comes. Xu Wantang left the two clawed crabs in the small red bucket and fished out all the sea cucumbers inside while avoiding them.
Conches and scallops need to be left in the water for a few days to spit out sand before they can be eaten, so there is no rush for these two. Today we only need to process the sea cucumbers.
There is an autolytic enzyme in the body of sea cucumbers that will turn into water after being left in seawater for six to seven hours, so it must be processed as soon as possible before doing so.
This time she found six sea cucumbers, the thickest of which was as thick as her forearm, enough to fry a small plate.
When Xu Wantang put these sea cucumbers in the basin, they were still squirming.
Xu Wantang picked up the scissors in one hand and a watery, squirming sea cucumber in the other.
The side with densely packed tentacles is the belly of the sea cucumber. Xu Wantang cut a hole in the belly of the sea cucumber, took out the internal organs, cut off the sand spit, washed it, and put it in a pot to cook.
Now only the yellow offal of the sea cucumber is piled on the plate. The offal of the sea cucumber is called "sea cucumber flower". Many people enjoy this bite, but Xu Wantang is not included.
The viscera of sea cucumbers contained a lot of sand, making it difficult to wash. Xu Wantang didn't like the taste, so she threw it away without hesitation.
The sea cucumber will take more than an hour to cook. Xu Wantang doesn't have to keep staring here, so he thinks that it will be almost time when Lu Yunzheng comes out of the bathroom. She takes a bath and eats.
At this moment, Lu Yunzheng came out of the bathroom. The man had no shirt on and was wiping his hair with his back to her.
His broad shoulders and narrow waist covered with muscles formed a perfect inverted triangle. There were scattered scars on his back, which made him look even more wild.
Xu Wantang took advantage of the gap when Lu Yunzheng's back was turned to her and took a few more glances at his back.
Objectively speaking, Lu Yunzheng was quite pleasing to the eye when he turned his back to her and didn't speak, like now.
Seeing that Lu Yunzheng still hadn't turned around, Xu Wantang glanced at him twice more before going into the bedroom to get a change of clothes.
Lu Yunzheng didn't have eyes behind his back, so he didn't see good things in vain.
What she didn't notice was that after she entered the bedroom, the man glanced at Xu Wantang's door solemnly, and then looked away after a while.
Then he chuckled helplessly, found a pullover shirt from his closet, and wrapped himself tightly again.
Xu Wantang took a shower, and when he came out, Lu Yunzheng had already placed all the food brought from the cafeteria on the table.
Some of the dishes were not packed in insulated lunch boxes and were already a bit cold. But there was only one pot at home and Xu Wantang was cooking sea cucumbers, so the dishes could not be reheated.
But fortunately it is summer now, so the food is not too cold and tastes pretty good.
Xu Wantang sat down, and for a while, the only sounds in the room were the sounds of chewing food and the sounds of clinking bowls and chopsticks.
Such a quiet dinner time couldn't help but remind Xu Wantang of his previous life.
In her previous life, when she was not married and living in her natal family, meal time was the busiest time of the day.
At this time, Xu Wantang's elder brother and younger brother kept talking about interesting things that happened during the day.
The contents mentioned are meaningless. For example, my brother was praised by the teacher and sought after by his classmates at school today; for example, a relative gave his younger brother a piece of fruit candy because he was good, and the younger brother kept describing how sweet the fruit candy was...
Even if these things are small, they are the happiest moments of the child's day.
Whenever my elder brother and younger brother talk about this at the dinner table, my mother will praise them without hesitation.
Xu Wantang was not very young at the time, so naturally she had countless little things she wanted to tell her parents.
But she was never greeted with compliments. Sometimes she was greeted by silence, sometimes by her brother's disdainful sneer, and sometimes by her mother's calm and gentle "What's there to say?"
As time passed, Xu Wantang rarely spoke at the dinner table and just ate in silence.
At that time, she was thinking: When she grows up and has her own little family, she will share everything she does in a day with her husband, leaving nothing behind at home these years. Make up for everything you said.
But in her last life, she did not realize this trivial wish.
After marrying Lu Yunzheng, she kept pressing her hot face against Lu Yunzheng's cold ass, even at the dinner table.
Among the few times she and Lu Yunzheng had meals, the first few times she tried to find some topics to chat with Lu Yunzheng, such as whether you were tired from training? For example, what kind of food does he like?
Lu Yunzheng simply replied to her with a few words at first, which didn't seem very warm.
But these perfunctory words gave Xu Wantang a lot of encouragement. In her parents' home, even such simple replies were rare.
At that time, she had never seen what was good, so she was carried away by these perfunctory words, thinking that the other party was willing to talk to her.
Until one time, she told an interesting story about her work as a joke to Lu Yunzheng, who had only been home for a long time.
Even after so long, Xu Wantang still remembers it clearly.
She thought that she should have been smiling at that time, otherwise she wouldn't have clearly felt her stiff, cocked lips that she didn't know how to take back after hearing Lu Yunzheng's words "I can't eat without words". corner of mouth.
From then on, when eating with Lu Yunzheng, she would eat the entire meal in silence and without saying a word, just like she had spent more than ten years at her parents' house.
Looking back on those memories now, Xu Wantang only finds it funny.
Why did you act like a fool at that time?
Unable to hold it back, Xu Wantang burst out laughing.
This chuckle was particularly obvious in the quiet room.
Lu Yunzheng stopped picking up vegetables and looked at Xu Wantang in confusion.
I saw Xu Wantang mechanically swallowing the food in his mouth, with the corners of his mouth raised slightly, but his eyes were cold.
Lu Yunzheng inexplicably saw a trace of self-mockery and... vulnerability in Xu Wantang's expression?
He frowned, feeling inexplicably uncomfortable. He stared at Xu Wantang for a moment, seemed to struggle for a while before asking, "What's wrong?"
Xu Wantang was stuck in memories and came back to his senses because of the sudden sound.
At this moment, the expression on her face just now faded completely, and she returned to her free and meaningless look.
Her lips curled up, her smile did not reach her eyes, and she said coldly, "You can't say anything after eating."
