On the dinner table at the Li family's old house, the dishes are as exquisite as works of art. The golden roast goose exudes an alluring aroma and is paired with green vegetables and bright red cherries. The color is colorful and will whet your appetite.
The steamed grouper next to it is tender and tender, and the steaming soup has a faint lemon fragrance.
The braised pork on the plate is bright red in color, fat but not greasy, and every bite is full of the rich aroma of meat. There are also various snacks on the table, such as crispy spring rolls, smooth jelly, and spicy tofu with a unique taste. Each dish is endless aftertaste. The whole dining process is like a visual and taste feast, which makes people linger.
Their dinner was different from Qiao Yunshu's stereotype of rich families. There were very few steaks and Australian dragon meat. Most of them were home-cooked dishes. However, the chefs were specially hired, so even simple dishes could be different. The flavor is not the same as usual.
At the dining table, the Li family deliberately arranged for Qiao Yunshu and Li Hanting to sit together, casting veiled glances at them from time to time.
They had just seen it in the living room. The two young people were cuddling in the back garden. Their relationship was much warmer than before.
There was a smile on Li's mother's lips, "Han Ting, don't just eat too much, hurry up and pick up some food for Yun Shu."
Mother Li sighed in her heart, her son was good at everything, but he was like a piece of wood in front of feelings.
Li Hanting glanced at his mother's eyes, picked up the serving chopsticks and picked up the food for Qiao Yunshu.
He put a piece of braised pork in Qiao Yunshu's bowl, and then said softly: "Eat more."
Qiao Yunshu looked at the braised pork in the bowl and instantly remembered the scene in the kitchen before. Li Hanting's deep and magnetic voice sounded in her ears, as if it had a magical power that made her heart beat faster.
She raised her head and met Li Hanting's deep eyes, which seemed to be able to see into her heart. Qiao Yunshu quickly lowered his head, his cheeks felt a little hot, but his heart seemed to be filled with sweetness.
At this moment, everything around him seemed to have stopped, leaving only the braised pork in the bowl and Li Hanting's deep and magnetic voice echoing in his ears.
Qiao Yunshu looked at Li Hanting and suddenly remembered everything in the back garden. He warmed her hands, dried her hair, and picked vegetables for her. Warmth surged in her heart, and she decided to return the favor and pick up some food for him.
She gently picked up the chopsticks, picked up a piece of steamed grouper, and put it into Li Hanting's bowl. Her hands trembled slightly, as if what she was picking up was not a piece of fish, but a heart.
"You should also eat more." Qiao Yunshu said softly, with a hint of imperceptible tenderness in his voice.
Li Hanting looked at the steamed grouper in the bowl, then looked up at Qiao Yunshu. A trace of doubt flashed in his eyes, as if he didn't expect Qiao Yunshu to pick up food for him.
Their eyes met in the air, as if time had frozen at this moment. The surrounding sounds gradually disappeared, leaving only the fish in the bowl and Qiao Yunshu's gentle voice echoing in his ears.
The elders of the Li family watched the interaction between the two with happy smiles on their faces. They saw that the relationship between the two young people was slowly warming up, and this interaction made them feel that this relationship was real and beautiful.
Li's mother was filled with emotion. She had always hoped that her son would find a girl who truly loved and cared about him. Now it seems that Qiao Yunshu is just such a girl. Her attentiveness, gentleness and thoughtfulness have doubled Mama Li's affection for her.
The other elders of the Li family also nodded and smiled. They felt that this scene was very harmonious, as if the whole world became warm and beautiful at this moment.
Qiao Yunshu couldn't help but think of the time when he saw Li Hanting in the hospital bed before. At that time, he had just lost his memory. His eyes were deep and his expression was cold, as if he was incompatible with the world around him.
But now, the relationship between the two has indeed relaxed unknowingly.
He carefully picked up the dishes for her. At that moment, the lights in the restaurant seemed to be eclipsed by their figures. Li Hanting's movements were natural and not artificial, as if they were already used to getting along like this.
After eating, it started to rain lightly.
The sky was covered with thick clouds, and the moon and stars were completely blocked. A gentle breeze blew by, bringing moist air and a faint fragrance of flowers. The drizzle fell silently on the ground, soaking every corner of the street. The buildings in the distance are looming in the rain, like an ink painting.
The rain gently hits the windows, making a subtle ticking sound, which makes people feel extremely peaceful. The lights in the corridor were refracted by the rain, forming hazy halos, adding a sense of mystery to the night.
The air is filled with the smell of earth and a hint of grass, which makes people feel relaxed and happy. On such nights, the world seems to have stopped, with only the sound of rain and breeze gently telling the story of the night.
Qiao Yunshu and Li Hanting went back to their room to rest.
The two of them had always slept in separate rooms before. After all, Li Hanting had lost his memory. Now, to him, Qiao Yunshu was just a woman he had just met.
But when Qiao Yunshu returned to the room today, she found that all her sheets and quilts were gone. She went out to ask the maid, and the maid apologized to her and said, "I took your sheets and quilts away today." I went out to dry it, but forgot to take it back.”
Qiao Yunshu turned her head and looked at the drizzle outside the glass window, and couldn't help but feel speechless.
However, she has always been easy to talk to, and she would not go to Weinan as a maid for such a trivial matter.
"Then I'll sleep in the guest room tonight."
Mother Li next to her showed a look of disapproval, and her tone was a little anxious, "The guest room has not been occupied for so long, so I'm afraid it's not very clean. I think you should sleep with Han Ting for one night."
Only then did Qiao Yunshu realize that the sheets in her bedroom were probably not taken out to dry by the maid on a whim, but were probably ordered by Mother Li.
If the maid wants to dry the quilt, she will definitely tell her and get her consent.
Besides, the maids who can come to work in the Li family have been carefully selected, and they cannot be so careless as to confiscate the quilt even if it rains.
What's more, there are many guest rooms in the old house. Although there are few guests staying there, they are always cleaned by dedicated servants. How could it be so unclean?
With the above doubts added together, the truth of the matter can be easily revealed.
It must have been a deliberate design by the elders. They wanted her and Li Hanting to sleep together and have close contact. Firstly, it could promote their relationship. Secondly, it might help him recover his memory.
Thinking about it this way, the elders have good intentions.
Qiao Yunshu didn't say whether she agreed or not. She first looked at Li Hanting and asked his opinion, "What do you think?"
Li Hanting looked up at Qiao Yunshu, his deep eyes shining with unknown meaning. He pursed his lips slightly, seeming to be considering his words.
"I...I don't have any objection." He said softly, with an imperceptible hoarseness in his voice.
His answer made Qiao Yunshu a little stunned. She thought Li Hanting would refuse without hesitation, after all, they had always slept separately before.
But she didn't expect him to agree, which surprised her.
What surprised her even more was that after Li Hanting finished speaking, a suspicious blush appeared on his face. He lowered his head and his eyes flickered, as if he was hiding something.
Qiao Yunshu hesitated for a moment. After all, this person is very good at talking what he means but not playing what he means. With his current expression, could it be that he was unwilling, but he was forced to agree by the pressure of his elders, right?
No, she had to ask clearly. She was not the kind of person who liked to force others.
Qiao Yunshu looked at him seriously and spoke slowly, "If you don't really want to, you can sleep in the guest room. I won't mind."
She didn't like forcing others to do things she didn't like, especially on such personal matters.
Li Hanting raised his head and looked into Qiao Yunshu's clear eyes, feeling as if something touched his heart.
He opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but fell silent in the end.
He lowered his head, his eyes flashing with an unknown light, "I have no objection."
His voice was very soft, but there was a firmness to it.
Qiao Yunshu couldn't help being a little stunned. She thought Li Hanting would refuse.
When Li's mother heard the conversation between the two, she couldn't help showing a look of relief. She looked at Qiao Yunshu, her eyes full of admiration.
"Yunshu, I'm so happy that you can be so considerate to Han Ting." She said softly, her tone full of warmth.
She knew in her heart that although Li Hanting looked cold on the surface, he was actually very soft on the inside. What he needs is not meticulous care, but someone who can understand and support him.
And Qiao Yunshu is exactly such a person. She is smart, independent, and understands and cares about Li Hanting in every possible way. Li's mother believed that as long as Qiao Yunshu was around, Li Hanting would slowly recover his memory.
The two returned to Li Hanting's room.
There is a light woody fragrance filling the room, making people feel peaceful and comfortable.
As soon as he entered the room, Qiao Yunshu was deeply attracted by the scene in front of him. The layout of the room is simple and elegant, mainly in dark colors, showing a low-key luxury. There are some precious calligraphy and paintings hanging on the wall, each one is valuable, but it doesn't give people a feeling of being too showy.
On the desk in front of the window are a laptop computer and an exquisite ceramic teacup. There is still some tea left in the teacup, exuding a faint fragrance. There is a green potted plant in the corner of the desk, with green leaves and full of vitality.
There is a comfortable large bed in the corner of the room. The bedding on the bed is brand new and exudes a fresh atmosphere. Qiao Yunshu couldn't help but feel a little uneasy.
She had not been to his bedroom since their divorce. Tonight she was going to spend a night in this familiar room and even sleep with him. She said that there was not a trace of excitement in her heart that was false.
Qiao Yunshu felt a little uncomfortable. She quickly said "I'm going to take a shower first" and rushed into the bathroom.
Li Hanting sat on the sofa and looked at the financial magazine in his hand, but in fact he didn't read a word of it.
The sound of rushing water came from the bathroom, and Qiao Yunshu was taking a bath.
Li Hanting was sitting on the sofa. The financial magazine in his hand had been turned to the last page, but he didn't read a word.
His eyes unconsciously fell in the direction of the bathroom door, and the image of Qiao Yunshu taking a bath appeared in his mind.
She has fair and delicate skin, a graceful figure, and her long hair is draped wetly over her shoulders, with water droplets sliding down her collarbone and disappearing under her bathrobe.
Li Hanting's throat slid unconsciously, and a strange emotion flashed in his eyes.
He suddenly realized that his thoughts were a little too ambiguous, and immediately shook his head vigorously, trying to get these thoughts out of his mind.
The bathroom door suddenly opened, and Qiao Yunshu stuck her head out and looked at Li Hanting with some embarrassment, "Well, I seem to have forgotten my pajamas. Can you help me?"
Li Hanting put down the financial magazine in his hand, was silent for a moment, and stood up.
He walked to the closet, opened the door, and took out a clean pair of pajamas. The pajamas are dark blue, simple and elegant, exuding a low-key luxury.
Qiao Yunshu took the pajamas and couldn't help but blush on her face. She whispered her thanks and immediately closed the bathroom door.
Li Hanting stood there, watching the bathroom door slowly close, and couldn't help but feel something strange in his heart. He turned around and sat back on the sofa, but found that he could no longer concentrate on reading the financial magazine.
The moment she opened the door, Qiao Yunshu's snow-white arms were dangling in front of her, as if they were carved from mutton-fat jade.
Delicate and smooth, it opens up unlimited imagination.
He closed his eyes and took a deep breath, trying to calm his inner turmoil. However, his thoughts were interrupted by the sudden opening of the bathroom door.
Qiao Yunshu appeared in front of him wearing a loose nightgown with wet hair.
She was wearing a pink nightgown that reached her ankles and was soft and comfortable. Her skin was fair and flawless, like newborn porcelain, with a slight rosy luster. The neckline of her pajamas was slightly open, revealing her slender collarbones and slender neck, like an elegant swan.
Her eyes were clear and bright, like water-cut pupils, and her long eyelashes trembled slightly, revealing a lazy charm. The bridge of the nose is straight, the lips are light-colored, and the corners of the mouth are slightly upward, with a sweet smile.
Her long hair was draped casually over her shoulders, soft and smooth, exuding a light fragrance. The cuffs of her pajamas were loose, revealing her slender wrists, her fingers were slender, and her nails were painted with a layer of transparent nail polish, simple and elegant.
The whole picture gives people a warm and comfortable feeling, as if you can feel her softness and quiet atmosphere.
She looked at him slightly shyly, with a blush on her face. Li Hanting's heartbeat suddenly accelerated. He tried hard to suppress his inner impulse, and his eyes unconsciously fell on her slender neck.
At this moment, he suddenly realized that his desire for Qiao Yunshu was much stronger than he imagined. He suddenly looked away, mentally cursing himself for losing his temper. However, it was too late.
