Chapter 52 Papaya Stewed with Snow Clam
Wen Baijing and Lu Yu chatted casually, talking about everything from personnel changes in the company to what they had for breakfast, as well as the strange stories they heard in the village, sharing everything they had seen and heard in detail.
They have been like this since they met, one is quiet and cold, the other is chatterbox. Their personalities are completely opposite, but they are inexplicably compatible.
Lu Yu was a rare friend of Wen Baijing who spoke the truth, and he was truly frank and honest. Others praised him to the skies, and kept their opinions to themselves, fearing that they would offend him.
The hourly worker came over and reminded, "Boss Wen, dinner is ready."
Wen Baijing glanced at his phone, then got up and went back to the bedroom.
Ye Zhenzhen was sleeping soundly. She looked so pure in her sleep. Her slightly furrowed brows showed a sadness that was inconsistent with her age.
Wen Baijing couldn't bear to wake her up, so he sat down quietly beside her, stroking her reluctant brows.
Wen Baijing's heart softened because of her, and he lowered his head and kissed her between the eyebrows.
Ye Zhenzhen slowly opened her eyes, her thick eyelashes brushed across his face, tingling his cheeks.
"woke up?"
Ye Zhenzhen looked at him dimly with sleepy eyes and nodded obediently.
"Get up and eat." Wen Baijing said gently, and after a pause, "Boss Lu is here today."
She was about to stand up when she heard Mr. Lu's presence. Her eyes widened and her body movements stopped.
"It's okay. Mr. Lu is one of us. Don't worry! He's a very interesting person."
She didn't eat much at noon and went to the hospital right away. She was so hungry that her stomach was sticking to her back, but she didn't feel restrained and got up quickly.
"Let me change my clothes!" She looked down at her nightgown. It would be impolite to dress like that with guests around.
Wen Baijing looked at Ye Zhenzhen's nightgown and was silent for a few seconds. "Well, just wear anything you want."
Meeting Mr. Lu here, Ye Zhenzhen couldn't help but feel a little nervous. Mr. Lu might not remember her. There were so many shopping guides in the company that Mr. Lu couldn't remember them all. Which of the company's leaders didn't have a lot of things to do every day?
Thinking of this, Ye Zhenzhen calmed down. She rolled up her hair, washed her face, and walked out of the bedroom calmly.
The aroma of chicken soup filled the restaurant.
"Come on, Zhenzhen."
Wen Baijing saw her coming out and greeted her gently.
An egg could fit in Lu Yu's mouth, his eyeballs almost popped out, and his hand holding the chicken soup was frozen in mid-air.
Ye Zhenzhen looked at Lu Yu in confusion. Was it because she was so ugly that he scared Lu Yu, or did Lu Yu know her? Ye Zhenzhen looked down at her clothes. They were neat and tidy, and there was nothing wrong with them.
Wen Baijing tapped the table lightly and cleared his throat coldly.
Lu Yu was shocked by Wen Baijing's speed of action. It had only been half a month since Wen Baijing first saw Ye Zhenzhen in the store.
Ye Zhenzhen suppressed her panic, walked to the dining table and sat down with a smile.
"This is Mr. Lu Yu, and this is Ye Zhenzhen."
Wen Baijing introduced the two to each other.
"Ye Zhenzhen? I seem to have seen you somewhere?" Lu Yu asked tentatively.
"Hello! Mr. Lu, I have seen you at Wuyuezhichu."
Wen Baijing interrupted them when he saw this, "Eat first, it will get cold soon."
After saying that, he handed Ye Zhenzhen the chicken soup and said, "Drink some soup."
Lu Yu came back to his senses, picked up the chicken soup and took a sip.
Maybe the chicken soup didn’t taste good and couldn’t stop him from talking.
"When did you two meet?" Lu Yu couldn't help but ask.
They were living together after only knowing each other for half a month. Although Wen Baijing was used to doing things in a swift and decisive manner, from an outsider's perspective, living together so quickly seemed a bit rash and impulsive.
Wen Baijing was not surprised by Lu Yu's reaction. He said calmly, "Let's eat first."
Ye Zhenzhen lowered her head to drink soup. It seemed that Wen Baijing had not told Lu Yu about the two of them. She really couldn't bring herself to talk about her acquaintance with Wen Baijing.
The feeling of uneasiness came to her mind again, and the shameful history occupied her heart.
Ye Zhenzhen stared blankly with the empty bowl in her hand, regrets rising up continuously and sweeping across her world.
"Zhenzhen, have some porridge..."
Wen Baijing handed her millet and sea cucumber porridge and stroked her head.
Lu Yu teased, "Where's my porridge? Why don't you help me serve some?"
Wen Baijing's face was calm and his tone was even: "Shall I serve you some too?"
Lu Yu laughed dryly and waved his hands in a timid manner.
"I won't trouble you, I'll do it myself!"
Seeing the two of them, Ye Zhenzhen smiled secretly and took the porridge. The last time I saw Lu Yu in the store, he was still very cold. The funny guy in front of me was quite different from usual.
"Mr. Wen, how could you bear to let someone be your shopping guide?" Lu Yu chatted casually.
Wen Baijing picked up the chicken soup and tasted it carefully without saying a word.
Seeing that Wen Baijing didn't say anything, she smiled and explained: "I think being a shopping guide is pretty good."
Regardless of whether Lu Yu was testing her or not, she felt that being a shopping guide was not bad. Although she was a waiter, she earned a lot, and it was not shameful to make money in an honest way.
Lu Yu nodded. "There is room for development for shopping guides. Many shopping guides in many companies have gradually become regional managers."
Ye Zhenzhen seemed to be deep in thought. Being a shopping guide for life was not her ideal. One must always work hard to climb up.
"Zhenzhen, Mr. Lu sent some oranges today. Try them after dinner." Wen Baijing gently put down his chopsticks and said softly.
"Yes! Eat more and let me know when you're done. I have a hill of oranges at home." Lu Yu laughed.
"Okay. Thank you, Mr. Lu." Ye Zhenzhen looked at Lu Yu with a smile.
"You're welcome to pick the fruits. It's fun to pick them by yourself, and you can also go to the mountain to get some fresh air." Lu Yu turned into an orchard promotion ambassador and excitedly introduced his own orchard.
"Do you want to go?" Wen Baijing turned around and asked Ye Zhenzhen gently.
She smiled and nodded, but then she shook her head again when she thought that Wen Baijing might not have time and she also had to go to work.
"When you feel better, we'll go there sometime."
"It doesn't matter. My orange orchard is still there. If I can't go this year, I can always go next year."
Ye Zhenzhen's eyes sparkled, and she looked at Wen Baijing with a smile.
"Would you like to drink some bird's nest?" Wen Baijing saw that she had a poor appetite and put down the spoon after only drinking a few mouthfuls of porridge.
Ye Zhenzhen felt uncomfortable in her stomach and couldn't eat much. She could only shake her head and refuse.
Lu Yu had a sly smile on his face and said in a teasing tone, "Why don't you ask Auntie to stew some papaya snow clam?"
Wen Baijing raised his hand to his lips and cleared his throat, his ears turning slightly red.
"Are you looking for a fight?" After saying that, he pretended to hit Lu Yu.
"I'm just kidding!" Lu Yu put his hands to cover his forehead and quickly admitted his mistake.
Ye Zhenzhen widened her eyes and looked at the two of them blankly.
After seeing Lu Yu off, the two leaned on the sofa and watched TV.
The moon outside the window is big and round, shaped like a white jade plate hanging high in the sky. The moon on the 15th is perfectly round on the 16th.
The silver moon was like a cold white silk, spreading silently over Yuncheng.
"Boss Lu said papaya stewed with snow clam, why did you hit him?"
Ye Zhenzhen raised her head, looked at Wen Baijing in confusion, and asked with a smile.
"Want to know?"
Wen Baijing lifted her chin and gave her a meaningful smile.
An ambiguous atmosphere was flowing in the air, and pink bubbles were popping up everywhere.
She heard her heartbeat speed up again, and the trembling feeling in her heart spread. She suddenly realized what the fire burning in Wen Baijing's eyes meant.
She pushed Wen Baijing away and ran to the bedroom. This guy wanted to seduce her again.
Wen Baijing chased her in and threw her onto the bed. Her body gradually became weak again, and she lay limply on the bed.
"what are you doing?"
Their fingers were tightly intertwined, and their bodies were inseparably pressed together.
Wen Baijing's throat rolled silkily, and he panted heavily in her ear. His deep voice was full of wildness, and the heat gushed in her ear, "Love..."
