"..." After hanging up the phone, she simply stood at the door waiting. Sure enough, the elevator on one side opened, and a familiar figure walked out. She hurried over.
Taking out her keys to unlock the door, she reached out to take the man's coat. The man beside her glanced at her and handed her the box in his hand, saying lightly, "This is for you."
"What are you doing here?" Standing at the entrance, Green Qi looked at the man with a poor complexion and quickly took the box from him to avoid provoking him further.
"What do you think? I've been waiting for you downstairs for over two hours, and I still haven't eaten."
"I'm sorry, I didn't know you were waiting for me." She handed him a pair of slippers to change into and didn't dare to say anything harsh, after all, she hadn't informed him beforehand.
As soon as she entered the living room and sat down, Green Qi hurried into the kitchen to pour a glass of warm water for him. The living room was quiet, only their breathing could be heard.
Green Qi looked up at the man beside her, recalling the call he made to her after dinner. She felt something was off. "Why didn't you go eat when you called me earlier and knew I was at the Jiang family?"
"I wanted to eat what you cooked." While drinking from the cup, Mu Tongzi replied lightly.
"..." She had completely forgotten to tell him that she wouldn't go to his place that evening, causing him to wait at her home all night without eating. Remembering that he had a weak stomach made her feel guilty. "Next time I won't go over, I'll remember to call you in advance."
He glanced at her but said nothing. However, his originally tense handsome face softened slightly.
"Just sit there; I'll get you something to eat right away!" Saying this, she went into the kitchen.
Standing at the kitchen door, Mu Tongzi watched her sorrowful profile and suddenly found himself enjoying this moment of tranquility.
At this moment, there was an aura about her that made it difficult for others to approach; even he did not dare to come near easily.
The rice cooker beeped, and she slowly came back to her senses. Turning to look at the figure standing by the door, she smiled awkwardly, holding the dishes as she turned and left the kitchen.
In the bright space, the uniquely designed dining area was separated by hollow walls. The curved dining table and chairs that extended down from the hollow walls were filled with aesthetic beauty both visually and artistically. The warm yellow light shone down from above, creating a cozy atmosphere in the white world.
After placing the dishes on the dining table, Green Qi returned to the kitchen to get bowls and chopsticks. Looking at the figure still leaning against the door, she chuckled lightly, "Hurry up and wash your hands; dinner is almost ready!"
Mu Tongzi nodded slightly and turned to wash his hands. When he came out, he saw the little woman already seated at the dining table waiting for him. A gentle smile appeared on his lips as he pulled out a chair and sat down.
"I prepared something simple; you should drink some soup to warm your stomach!" She said, serving him a bowl of soup in a porcelain bowl.
Mu Tongzi nodded slightly and took the bowl of soup she handed over. "Bring me the box I gave you earlier!"
"Huh?" She blinked in confusion but still got up to retrieve the box he had brought over earlier.
"This is a new dessert from that handmade workshop we talked about last time. I thought you would like it."
"Thank you! You should eat your meal quickly!" Opening the box, she looked at the soft, glutinous dumplings inside.
Green Qi squinted slightly with delight. "I was just thinking of having something sweet, and you brought it over—how wonderful!"
"Did you face any difficulties at the Jiang family today?" Mu Tongzi asked casually while scooping soup from his bowl.
