She stood up and said, âThen Iâll go cook.â
With that, she walked towards the kitchen.
In an instant, only the two of them were left on the sofa in the living room.
Zhong Shenghao hugged the pillow and looked at Yuting with a fawning smile.
Shi Yuting shot him a disgusted look and turned towards the kitchen.
Something flashed through his mind. He stood up and followed Weiyi.
In the kitchen, Zuo Weiyi was looking for some ingredients in the fridge.
âPrepare the ingredients slowly. Iâm going out to buy something.â
âBuy what?â
âSeasoning for Zhong Shenghao.â
Zuo Weiyi frowned.
She looked at the various seasonings on the kitchen counter. There was no lack of them.
While she was confused, Shi Yuting had already left.
He said to Zhong Shenghao, âHelp me keep an eye on her. Iâm going out for a while.â
âWhat are you doing?â he asked casually.
Shi Yuting curled his lips. âBuying condiments.â
âOh.â
Zhong Shenghao only looked away after Yutingâs figure completely disappeared at the door.
He wondered if it was his imagination, but why did he feel that Yutingâs smile just now was a little strange?
âForget it, Iâd better go check on the ingredients that Weiyi is preparing.â
As he said that, he threw down the pillow, got up, and rushed to the kitchen.
He saw Zuo Weiyi washing three tomatoes, some shiitake mushrooms, and some chicken by the kitchen counter.
âWeiyi, do you want me to help you?â
Although he knew that there was absolutely no objection to his freeloading, it didnât seem right for him to just sit there. He still had to be polite.
Zuo Weiyi turned around and smiled at him. âItâs fine. You can go watch TV.â
âReally?â he asked again.
Zuo Weiyi stared at him. âDo you know how to cut vegetables?â
âUh, no.â
Well, as expected, there was no use for him.
He returned to the living room. Not long after, Shi Nuannuan came back. âBrother Shenghao, why are you here?â
Zhong Shenghao smiled. âIâm freeloading. What about you?â
âI went to see Grandpa and Mommy!â As she spoke, she heard sounds from the kitchen. âIs Sister-in-Law in the kitchen?â
âYes.â
âIâll go and take a look!â
As soon as she entered the kitchen, she saw that Zuo Weiyi had already washed and cut the ingredients.
âWow, Sister-in-Law, are you going to cook noodles again?â Nuannuan still had an aftertaste of the noodles she had eaten the last time!
âYes.â Zuo Weiyi smiled at her. âYouâre back.â
âYup!â Shi Nuannuan responded. Then, her eyes became fixed on the ingredients in the pot, drooling.
Twenty minutes later, Shi Yuting came back.
Zuo Weiyiâs noodles were just about ready.
Four bowls of steaming, fragrant noodles were out of the pot. Just looking at them made people drool.
In the living room, Zhong Shenghao couldnât help but rush into the dining room. The bowls, chopsticks, and noodles were already set up.
Shi Yuting and Zuo Weiyiâs seats were fixed, and Shi Nuannuan had always sat opposite to Zuo Weiyi, so Zhong Shenghaoâs seat was naturally next to Nuannuanâs.
When he sat down, Zhong Shenghao was surprised to find that his bowl was actually bigger than the othersâ.
He couldnât help but look up with a hint of joy in his eyes. âThis is...â
âYour sister-in-law is rewarding you. Eat it,â Shi Yuting said without batting an eyelid. After saying that, he picked up his chopsticks and started eating.
Zhong Shenghao naturally didnât stand on ceremony. He smiled at Zuo Weiyi. âThank you in advance, Sister-in-Law!â
