Chapter 542 Express Her Love
But... There is one thing she feels pretty sure about, which is that she cannot dominate Zhang Hai’s heart.
After all, Zhang Hai and she are just ordinary friends.
Besides, she is the one that has always been courting him.
After getting home, Leng Weiwei tosses her handbag on the couch, saying, “You’ve got my message, right? I gotta work late today.”
Her pretty eyes blink. And then a meaningful smile curves Yi Yuntian’s lips, “Yep, I know.”
Working late?
So be it. But he rejoices that she remembers to text him.
She has improved.
“Tired?”
Leng Weiwei purses her lips. After a whole day’s stroll, she is not really tired.
“I gotta shower now...”
“Wait.” Yi Yuntian reaches out and takes her by the arm, saying, “After the shower, make some noodles and then let’s enjoy it together.”
Leng Weiwei halts, asking, “You didn’t have dinner?”
“Well...” Yi Yuntian sighs in injured tones, “How could I be in the vein for eating anything without you?”
Leng Weiwei’s eyebrows twitch, “OK. I’ll make some noodles first.”
“No, no, no, go take your shower. I can wait. I wanna have the noodles together with you.”
“... OK.” And then Leng Weiwei walks straight into the bathroom with her arms slipping from Yi Yuntian’s hands.
After the door of the bathroom is closed, Yi Yuntian narrows his eyes, rises to his feet, and heads for the kitchen.
Leng Weiwei won’t care about whether Yi Yuntian is hungry or not before. But this time, she can’t stop thinking about it, which staggers her.
And she even takes the shower in a hurry.
Her showers always lasted over half an hour before, but this time is different.
No sooner has Leng Weiwei pushed the door of the bathroom open than she smells something delicious, which makes her stomach rumble.
She wandered aimlessly in the street all day long and it seemed that she only had a cup of coffee.
It was not that she didn’t want to eat. She was just not in the vein for eating anything as she was thinking about her future plan.
But now she is really hungry.
Wait!
Didn’t Yi Yuntian ask her to make noodles for him? Why now...
Thinking of this, Leng Weiwei hurries to the kitchen.
A slim figure, who is wearing an apron and holding a long spoon, is busy cooking in the kitchen. Lots of fresh vegetables are laid on the chopping block and it appears that there are also some yummy garnishes.
It stuns Leng Weiwei. Is that true? What is Yi Yuntian doing?
She walks over to Yi Yuntian and takes a look inside the cooking pot. And then she is certain that Yi Yuntian is really cooking.
“Mmm? Finished?” With that, Yi Yuntian puts some greens into the noodles, saying, “Two more minutes and then we can enjoy it.”
“Didn’t you ask me to make it?”
“Well, it always takes a long time for women to shower. I’ll be starving after you finish your shower.”
“... But haven’t I told you I can make some noodles for you first?”
Yi Yuntian turns to look at her with a smile, “Dear, let’s enjoy it together.”
Yi Yuntian’s words warm Leng Weiwei. She prepares to say something but swallows her words, looking away, “I’ll go tidy up the living room...”
“Wait.” Yi Yuntian reaches out and takes her in his arms. While she is still surprised, he pecks her on the cheek, doting, “Babe, let’s have it in the bedroom.”
Bedroom?
Leng Weiwei goggles at him. What? Eat in the bedroom?
How dirty will it be!
“No...”
“Shh.” Yi Yuntian lays his hand gently on her lips, saying cryptically, “I have a surprise for you in the bedroom.”
And then, five minutes later.
Leng Weiwei is stunned by the whopper in the living room!
After a few seconds, Leng Weiwei manages to ask, “How did you get it here anyway?”
Yi Yuntian smiles mysteriously, “That’s a secret!”
Yi Yuntian puts down the noodles and then takes out a bottle of champagne from nowhere, saying, “Actually, I was going to make spaghetti. But I finally failed in my attempt to make it as I’m not good at it. So, I’ve decided to make some noodles. Dear, would you mind enjoying local noodles with foreign champagne?”
Well... Not really. But somehow it is kind of weird.
Leng Weiwei blinks her eyes. Well, whatever. Yi Yuntian himself is a weirdo and nothing can be weirder than him.
Leng Weiwei points to the whopper, asking, “You are not gonna make some noise with it, aren’t you?”
That is a high-priced piano.
It is smoothly contoured with a snow-white surface, which makes it graceful and elegant, low-key but sumptuous.
Yi Yuntian smiles gently, “Babe, I’ve prepared something for our home. Actually, life can be simple but good.”
Wait, this is not the only thing Yi Yuntian prepared? Leng Weiwei is surprised.
“Stop hashing things out. The noodles are getting cold.” With that, Yi Yuntian uncovers the bowl and then puts two roasted goose legs onto the noodles.
Noodles with roasted goose legs, greens, eggs, and champagne!
It is really low-keyed luxury!
“Babe, come on, enjoy the food.” Yi Yuntian places a round stool in front of them, muttering, “The bedroom will be the place to dine after today. I’ll make some designs...”
“We should dine in the living room!” Leng Weiwei knits her brows, adding, “It’s so unhygienic to dine here.”
Yi Yuntian replies amorously, “No.”
“Why?”
“There’s a TV in the living room and you shall not watch it! You gotta keep your eyes fixed on me during meals!”
“...” Is that coquetry? “We can dine without watching TV.”
“Still no.”
Leng Weiwei feels an urge to fling the bowl of noodles to Yi Yuntian’s face.
“Dear, dining is the most pleasurable time of a day, which should only be enjoyed by the two of us, accompanied by some pieces of piano music...”
Yi Yuntian’s voice is glamorous and affectionate. Leng Weiwei’s heart misses a beat and she swallows hard involuntarily.
“I’m starving. Let’s catch up with the piano and other things later.” Yi Yuntian changes the subject, looks away, and tucks into the noodles.
The corner of Leng Weiwei’s mouth twitches and her face clouds.
That is such a huge goose leg, which looks so yummy. But it seems that Yi Yuntian will play the piano or do something later. Leng Weiwei can’t help thinking of Yi Yuntian sitting in front of the piano with a goose leg in his mouth...
At eleven o’clock in the night, it is pitch-dark outside the window. A ray of moonlight pours in, covering the room with silver frost.
If it were in the past, Jing Shu would be asleep. But tonight, she is wide awake.
The scenes in which Zhang Hai and Christine dine together are flashing across her mind again and again.
In fact, she prepared to walk up to them and told Christine that Zhang Hai belonged to her and they should not dine together!
But the problem is that Zhang Hai has never promised her anything.
She is not even his best friend.
Jing Shu bites her lower lip and sits up. This is the first time that sleep eludes her in years.
She has always been trying to win Zhang Hai’s affections, so Zhang Hai should know her feelings towards him.
Should she... Should she do something more active?
Zhang Hai is a blockhead. Besides, soldiers always seem to be insensitive to love.
Yes, that should be the reason!
If she does not express her love to Zhang Hai directly, someone else will do it sooner or later!
Thinking of this, Jing Shu braces herself, drawing out her phone.
The moment she dials the number, she pauses. Is Zhang Hai asleep now?
Jing Shu ponders for some time and takes a deep breath, deciding that she will slog her guts out!
She presses the calling button and the ringtone of Zhang Hai’s phone comes through the line.
It rings for a long time, but Zhang Hai still does not pick up the phone, which worries Jing Shu.
His phone is on. Is this blockhead asleep?
No, that can’t be right. Zhang Hai is Commander Yi’s signalman, who should be on call at all times.
Just as Jing Shu is about to hang up, a voice comes through the line.
“Hello, Shu. It’s so late...”
There is a touch of hoarseness and fatigue in Zhang Hai’s voice, which shows that he has just woken up.
Jing Shu replies apologetically, “Sorry to disturb you.”
“It’s OK. Go ahead. What is it?”
Jing Shu presses her lips. She does make a decision to make this call. But at the moment, she is hesitating.
Her heart is racing. She suddenly realizes that she is about to express her love to Zhang Hai!
As Jing Shu remains silent for such a while, Zhang Hai appears somewhat impatient, saying, “Shu, just come to the point.”
Women are always sluggish.
Being urged by Zhang Hai, Jing Shu feels more confused, “I... I... I don’t know what to say...”
“!” Zhang Hai gets speechless. It turns out that the dummy just calls to jerk him around. He replies, “And then call me when you figure out what to say. I gotta get up early tomorrow. Sorry...”
“Zhang Hai!” Seeing that Zhang Hai will hang up, Jing Shu gets keyed up, exclaiming, “Wait! I’ve got something important to tell you.”
Zhang Hai doesn’t respond on the other end of the phone.
“...Mmm? Zhang Hai, you still there?”
“I’m listening!”
Zhang Hai’s impatience upsets Jing Shu. But at this point, nothing can sway her from her decision!
“Zhang Hai, I like you!”
Somehow, the words pop out!
After that, Jing Shu is stupefied.
So is Zhang Hai, who is at the other end of the line.
For a while, neither of them speaks.
“Ahem... Mmm, I’ve got it. You work for the sister-in-law and I work for the boss. We ought to get on well with each other and it’s normal for us to like each other...”
Zhang Hai’s reply pains Jing Shu, “No! Zhang Hai, I like you, but that’s not I mean!”
At the other end of the line, Zhang Hai falls silent again.
Jing Shu’s heart is beating fast, she gasps, “Zhang Hai, I like you and I really do! Can I go out with you?”
“!” Zhang Hai is like being struck by lightning, which dumbfounds him!
Jing Shu expresses her love so directly...
“Shu...” God, he is not prepared for this. If going out with her...
Sensing Zhang Hai’s hesitation, Jing Shu gets more resolute, “Zhang Hai, do you like me?”
Zhang Hai takes a deep breath. Now he is wide awake. Does he like her?
No, he should be asked, does he love her?
