Chapter 7: The End of the Birthday
The two of them drove to the supermarket near Li Zehan's house, the distance was not far, it was less than ten minutes by car, the two people came to the supermarket parking lot and parked the car, Kim Tae-hee couldn't wait to urge Li Zehan, who was about to unbuckle his seat belt, to move quickly, and then he opened the car door and got out of the car first.
"What do we need to buy? What kind of dishes do you have a good at?" Kim Tae-hee asked, turning his head to Li Zehan, who had already walked to his side.
"I'm best at Western food, and then I order both Chinese food and Korean food, I remember that you should prefer to eat Korean food, or I'll make Korean food?"
"No, one or two of each dish, and I love Chinese food, so I'm going to try your hand at it. Kim Tae-hee said without much thought.
"Then it's decided, let's go see what the ingredients are, and then I'll decide on the menu. Li Zehan nodded.
After entering the supermarket, Li Zehan first pushed a shopping cart, and was about to go to the vegetable selling area, so he pulled Kim Tae-hee to the snack area first, who told her to be hungry and Li Zehan's family couldn't find the existence of snacks at all, and now that she came to the supermarket, of course, she had to buy some to go back to satisfy her hunger.
Looking at Kim Tae-hee, who kept putting his favorite snacks into the shopping cart, Lee Tae-han was thinking about whether to find more shopping carts, but fortunately, Kim Tae-hee stopped after putting a few more items, then looked at the snacks in the shopping cart, and nodded with satisfaction.
"Alright, the snacks have been bought, now let's go grocery shopping. ”
"Yes, ma'am. Li Zehan said with a chuckle.
"Who's your wife? Kim Tae-hee slapped him on the back with a snap, and he said coquettishly.
"It's really violent enough, no wonder your brother is so afraid of you. Li Zehan said with a wry smile.
"What, like gentleness, go to those beautiful female nurses and doctors in your hospital, huh!" Kim Tae-hee glared at Lee Chae-han with his hands on his hips.
"I just like you. Lee Chaek-han lowered his body with a smile and approached Kim Tae-hee to look at her.
"Flim, I'm not one of those little girls who are just starting out. Kim Tae-hee pointed his finger at Lee Tae-han's head and pushed him away and said.
"Let's go, ma'am, we still have to buy groceries. Li Zehan shrugged and said, then pushed the shopping cart and began to walk forward.
"Ahh Kim Tae-hee walked up and kicked Lee Tae-han on the calf again.
"I'm much more relieved if you're like this, who else dares to ask for such violence but me. Li Zehan said while looking at the dishes around him and thinking about the recipe.
"You're really, don't talk to me now, don't pay attention to you for the time being. Kim Tae-hee said that he had been defeated, this man was dark and thick-skinned, and he was not an opponent, so he decided to adopt a snub tactic.
But in less than a few minutes, after seeing that Li Zehan really had no intention of talking to herself, she puffed up her bun face again, secretly scolded Li Zehan for wood, coaxed herself and refused, and then was angry for a few minutes without speaking, but as Li Zehan kept putting the ingredients into the shopping cart, she couldn't bear the curiosity in her heart, and began to ask Li Zehan all kinds of questions, but she didn't notice the smile that appeared at the corner of Li Zehan's mouth at that time. Otherwise, she will definitely blow up her hair again.
Li Zehan was buying ingredients while dealing with Kim Tae-hee's various problems, but in addition to the Korean dishes that Kim Tae-hee guessed, the Chinese and Western dishes Li Zehan always sold Guanzi, which made Kim Tae-hee's teeth itch, but seeing that those ingredients were basically the seafood and beef she liked to eat, she endured it and did not impose violent punishment on Li Zehan.
After buying the vegetables, the two of them didn't stay long and drove back.
When he arrived at the parking lot downstairs of Li Yijun's apartment, Kim Tae-hee didn't know what he saw, as soon as the car stopped, he unbuttoned his seat belt and opened the car door and ran out of the car, Li Zehan thought she had something wrong, and immediately untied the safety belt and took it away, but saw her walk to a nanny car and talk to a woman and take a box, Li Zehan didn't walk over, but took all the things he bought out of the car, and stood there waiting for Kim Tae-hee.
"Tae-hee, is that the doctor over there who is on a blind date with you?" and Kim Tae-hee's side, Kim Tae-hee's agent Park Se-hyun asked Kim Tae-hee gossiping.
"It's him. Kim Tae-hee nodded.
"It's very good-looking, and the figure is good, not losing to people in the circle at all, and the profession is good, take advantage of it. Park Shixian gently nudged Kim Tae-hee with her elbow and said jokingly.
"Ernie, don't fool him by his appearance, that's a black belly, you don't know how badly I bullied him today. Kim Tae-hee said angrily.
"That's what you sent to the door to bully him, I don't know who asked me to order a cake when I heard that today is someone's birthday yesterday, and then I went to the hospital to find someone this morning. Park Se-hyon stretched out her fingers and picked up Kim Tae-hee's chin and said.
"Ernie, we haven't had a deep exchange for a long time, let's talk about it when we have time. Kim Tae-hee slapped Park Se-hee's hand off, and then looked at Park Se-han with a wicked smile and said, although Park Se-hee is older, it does not mean that the force value is higher than Kim Tae-hee, Kim Tae-hee will choose to suppress him by force every time he encounters a topic that he is too lazy to debate with Park Se-hee.
"Well, forget it. Park Shixian said with a smile.
"But seriously, you're really tempted, right? Otherwise, you wouldn't be so proactive. Park Se-hyon looked at Kim Tae-hee and asked seriously.
"Some, except for being too dark, he quite meets my requirements, isn't it, and the outcome between us depends on his performance. Kim Tae-hee said calmly as he gently stroked the ends of his hair with his mobile phone.
"I hope you two can make it, it's rare to meet someone who can make you happy, you're not too young, it's time to have a companion. Park Se-hyon patted Kim Tae-hee on the shoulder and said.
"I think Ernie is afraid that I will always disturb you and your brother-in-law when I am resting, don't worry, even if I really get together with him, I will continue to bother. Kim Tae-hee said with a smile.
"You bad girl, you deserve to be bullied by him, you should find a man who can control you. Park Shixian said angrily.
"It's not certain who will control whom. Kim Tae-hee said disdainfully, how could she show weakness so easily when she was so strong.
"Okay, I won't disturb the world of the two of you, let the family wait for so long, you girl is embarrassed, I can't. Park Shixian waved her hand and began to chase people.
"Then I'll go first, Ernie don't forget that we still have a deep exchange. Kim Tae-hee said with a smile and walked towards Li Zehan with the box. , leaving Park Shixian to stomp his feet in annoyance.
"I've kept you waiting, let's go, let's go up. Kim Tae-hee walked up to Lee Chaek-han and said.
"What did your agent send you? Do you want to help you carry it?" Li Zehan smiled and nodded at Park Shixian, who was still standing there watching the two of them, and then led Kim Tae-hee to the elevator, asking as he walked.
"No, I'll just mention it myself, how can I have no cake for my birthday, so I asked Shixian Oni to order one for me. Kim Tae-hee lifted the cake box and said with a smile to Lee Taekhan, like a child begging for praise.
"Thank you. Li Zehan chuckled and said sincerely.
"Then remember to make the dishes later. Kim Tae-hee said arrogantly.
"I don't think it will disappoint you. ”
"Then I'll see. ”
After the two returned to the apartment with a smile and a smile, they just walked to the living room and found that there were still two people sitting in the living room.
"Mom, Nuna, why are you here? I didn't call in advance to say anything, didn't I let you wait?" Li Zehan first put the ingredients and cakes in the kitchen, and then immediately returned to the living room and saluted to Li's mother and asked.
"It's your birthday, and I know you're home, so my mother and I came to see you, and we just arrived and were about to call you, and you came back. Li Zehan's sister Li Qingxuan said.
"This is Tai Xu, although it is over the phone, but this is the first time we have met, the real person is really beautiful. Mother Li looked at Kim Tae-hee, who was standing there respectfully, and said with a smile.
"Hello aunt, I didn't prepare any gifts when I met for the first time, it was a rude disrespect. Kim Tae-hee walked over and saluted respectfully and said apologetically.
"No, Tai Xu, you did a good job, speaking of which, I should still thank you, take the time to help us Zehan celebrate his birthday when he is so busy, sit down, don't stand. Mother Li beckoned to the two and said.
"Mom, Nuna, since you're here, let's eat together, I haven't tasted my craft for a while, try to see if there is any progress. Li Zehan said after sitting down.
"No, I'm just coming to see you, your dad will be back tonight, I'd better go home and eat with him." Mother Li shook her head and said.
"I won't eat here either, your brother-in-law can't take care of the pair of demon kings at home. Li Qingxuan also shook her head and refused.
"It's good to let my dad and brother-in-law come over and eat together, I bought a lot of vegetables, it should be enough to eat, if not, just let the people in my sister's store send a few more dishes." ”
"No, I don't want to disturb the world between the two of you, but don't bully Tai Xu, you know. Mother Li looked at Li Zehan and Kim Tae-hee and said, the more she looked, the more she felt that the two were on the right track, and she thought in her heart that she would contact Kim Tae-hee's mother after she went back, and then increase her efforts to match the two people.
Li Zehan hurriedly waved his hand and said that he didn't dare, and although Kim Tae-hee was still sitting there with a dignified smile, her already red face and constantly churning fingers revealed her inner unpeace.
"Okay, your sister and I will leave first, and your sister has already placed the gift in your room, do you know if you greet Tai Xu. After chatting with the two for a while, Li's mother stood up and said to Li Zehan with Li Qingxuan's support.
"Got it, I'll send you down. Li Zehan also stood up and walked to Li's mother's side.
"Okay, don't do that, I'm not old enough to move and need your help to walk, so I'll just send us to the door. slapped Li Zehan's hand and said when he stretched out to hold her.
"Tai Xu, my aunt will go first, next time we will find a time to have lunch or afternoon tea together." Mother Lee walked up to Kim Tae-hee and took her hand and said.
"Yes, aunt, I will be there as long as you don't dislike me. Kim Tae-hee said affectionately.
"Don't dislike it, don't dislike it, you're much better than that stinky boy, okay, I won't disturb the world of you young people, if Zehan dares to bully you, you can tell your aunt, and your aunt will definitely help you get angry." Mother Li patted Kim Tae-hee's hand and said, then put down Kim Tae-hee's hand and walked out, Kim Tae-hee immediately walked up and held her hand and walked out with her, and Mother Lee became more and more satisfied with her.
After sending Mother Lee and Lee Qingxuan to the elevator, the two returned to the house and came to the living room, and Kim Tae-hee breathed a sigh of relief and fell on the sofa regardless of the image.
"Thank you for your hard work, but it shouldn't be so tired. Li Zehan looked at her and said with a smile.
"I really don't have a backache when I stand and talk, do you know how nervous I was just now. Kim Tae-hee gave him a blank look and said.
"I don't know, why don't I accompany you home to meet your aunt and uncle and experience the tension you just had?" Li Zehan also sat on the sofa and said.
"You can go and cook, I can't have a pleasant conversation with you right now. Kim Tae-hee said weakly, not even bothering to give him alms.
"Okay, then I'll go cook first, you can rest. Li Zehan nodded, stood up and walked to the kitchen.
Li Zehan came to the kitchen to open the purchased ingredients and looked at them, and then skillfully handled the ingredients, about half an hour later, there was an attractive fragrance in the kitchen, and Kim Tae-hee, who was playing with his mobile phone in the living room, smelled it, and immediately stood up and walked to the kitchen.
Leaning against the kitchen door, looking at Li Zehan who was cutting green onions and ginger, Kim Tae-hee picked up his mobile phone and took a picture, I have to say that a man is really handsome and attractive when he does something seriously, especially when that man does something seriously or for himself, the smile on the corner of Kim Tae-hee's mouth has never disappeared, and he has been looking at the busy figure in the camera.
"Is it because it's so handsome, so I can't help but take a picture. Li Zehan opened the pot and looked at the spicy beef soup, then nodded with satisfaction, then turned to look at Kim Tae-hee and said.
"Of course not, I'm just trying to make fun of you by taking a picture of your messy hands. Kim Tae-hee calmly put down his phone and said.
"I'm sorry to disappoint you, but I only let you get a picture of my handsome side. ”
"Narcissist. Kim Tae-hee said with a sneer.
"I have capital narcissism, don't I?" Li Zehan began to pack up the grass carp and said indifferently.
"Do you need help?" said Kim Tae-hee because he was bored.
"No need, I'm afraid that you will help more and more, so I'll do it myself. Li Zehan refused without thinking about it.
"The more you help, the more you help, I cook when I have time. "Kim Tae-hee is not a big lady who doesn't touch the spring water with her fingers, and she often cooks by herself after she comes out to live, and her best thing is cold noodles, of course, this is also related to her favorite food is cold noodles.
"I'll do it myself, you just wait to eat, and you'll be ready soon." Li Zehan washed his hands, dried them, walked to Kim Tae-hee's side, put his hands on her shoulders and turned her around, and then pushed her to the living room outside.
"Wait, don't push me, I just want to help, don't push, I don't want to go back to the living room, it's too boring, you just let me help, ah! Li Zehan, what are you doing, let me down." Kim Tae-hee kept struggling, and when Li Zehan saw that he couldn't push her, he put her on his shoulders and carried her to the living room before putting her down.
"I thought it would be easy, but I didn't expect it to be a bit heavy. Li Zehan moved his shoulders and looked at Kim Tae-hee and said.
"Ahh
"Okay, it's my mistake, you just sit here for a while, and I'll go back to cooking first. Li Zehan took off her pillow, pulled her to the sofa, pressed her shoulder to let her sit down, touched Kim Tae-hee's head and said comfortingly, and then walked to the kitchen.
"I'm not a child. Kim Tae-hee shouted in protest before collapsing on the couch again.
"Alright, it's time to eat. After about forty minutes, after Li Zehan brought all the dishes to the dining room and set them up, he came to the living room and said to Kim Tae-hee.
Kim Tae-hee had no intention of talking to him, so she walked directly past him to the dining room, and Li Zehan touched her nose awkwardly and followed her.
"It looks okay, and it smells quite good, but I don't know how it tastes. When he came to the dining room, Li Zehan pulled out a chair, and Kim Tae-hee was not pretentious, he sat down directly, and then looked at the dishes prepared by Li Zehan and said.
Chinese food, Korean food, Western food, two dishes each, Chinese food prepared typhoon shelter fried crab, as well as Sichuan pepper fish fillet, Korean food prepared spicy beef soup and mixed vegetables, Western food prepared Italian risotto and white sauce braised veal, of course, Korean birthday indispensable kelp soup.
"Try it. Li Zehan handed the chopsticks to her and gestured.
"It tastes good, you've passed it. Kim Tae-hee nodded after trying the flavors one by one.
"Then let's get started. As he spoke, he sandwiched a piece of beef into Kim Tae-hee's bowl.
"Don't think that if you please me like this, I'll forgive you for what you just did. Kim Tae-hee picked up the piece of beef, glanced at Li Zehan and said, and ate the piece of beef in one bite after speaking.
"Then don't forgive, turn grief and anger into appetite, and eat more. ”
"Don't you think I'm heavy?" Kim Tae-hee put down the dishes and chopsticks and glared at Li Zehan and said.
"No, who said I thought you were heavy, but I thought you should be as light as a feather, but it turned out that it was more important than a feather. Li Zehan said seriously.
"Count you as acquaintances. Kim Tae-hee nodded with satisfaction and picked up the chopsticks again.
The cake that Kim Tae-hee ordered was just not big, only one pound, and she couldn't stay long, just enough to use it as an after-dinner dessert after eating, Kim Tae-hee carefully inserted digital candles on the cake, one three, one zero, and then lit it with a lighter.
"Alright, go turn off the lights, and come back and make a wish. Kim Tae-hee urged Lee Tae-han.
Li Zehan immediately ran to turn off the lights in the dining room, then walked back and closed his eyes and began to make a wish, in fact, he didn't want to make a wish, he never believed it, but looking at Kim Tae-hee's expectant eyes, he could only make a look, and then blew out the candle.
After Kim Tae-hee cut a piece of cake by himself, he pushed the rest of the cake in front of Li Zehan and asked Li Zehan to eat it all, so that Li Zehan, who was still very full after dinner, looked at her with wide eyes, which made her laugh.
"This is my heart, you must eat it, or I will be unhappy. Kim Tae-hee squinted and looked at Lee Zehan with a smile and said.
"I'll eat it, eat a little bit now, and the rest will be breakfast tomorrow, okay?" Li Zehan said obediently.
"No, I'm going to watch you finish eating, and you don't want me to be unhappy. Kim Tae-hee immediately put on a pitiful expression and looked at Li Zehan.
"Okay, I'll eat. Li Zehan, who couldn't stand the look at her, picked up the fork angrily, and then ate it in a big gulp.
"Hee-hee. Kim Tae-hee nodded in satisfaction.
After eating the cake, Li Zehan was almost killed, and with the help of Kim Tae-hee, he went to the living room and sat there against the sofa.
"I've just put the gift for you in your room, so come back to see it when I'm gone. Kim Tae-hee, who had taken revenge, said proudly.
"Do you need me to send you?"
"No, my agent will pick me up later, there is an event in Busan tomorrow, and I will rush over later." Kim Tae-hee shook his head and said.
"It's tiring to be a star, have you ever regretted it?" asked Li Zehan as he stared at Kim Tae-hee for a while.
"It's very tiring, who in this circle is not tired, but I have never regretted it, because it is my dream. Kim Tae-hee said with a soft look in his eyes.
"Besides, your job isn't easier than mine, have you ever regretted it?"
"Yes, when I was a resident abroad, I survived, for the same reason, just like you, because it was my dream. ”
Lee Chae-han also fell into memories after speaking, and Kim Tae-hee didn't bother him silently.
"I'm going to go first, my agent is already waiting for me in the parking lot. After a while, Kim Tae-hee broke the silence.
"I'll send you down. Li Zehan also sobered up from his memories.
"Hmm. Kim Tae-hee nodded, then picked up his bag and walked to the entrance.
"Thank you for coming today, I'm really happy. The two of them stood in the elevator, and Li Zehan spoke.
"I'm having a great time today, I haven't been so relaxed for a long time, but the next time we meet, will you be less dark-bellied?"
"I don't think I'm black, but I'll try my best. Li Zehan said innocently.
"I'll listen for the time being, but don't give me any hope. Looking at the way he pretended to be garlic, Kim Tae-hee puffed out his mouth and said.
"Okay, let's get here, I'll go first, you go up, goodbye. Looking at the open elevator door, Kim Tae-hee stopped Li Zehan, who was going to come out with him, walked outside the elevator door, waved his hand at Li Zehan in the elevator and said.
"Goodbye, come on for tomorrow's work, call me if you're tired. Li Zehan also waved goodbye to Kim Tae-hee, and then closed the elevator door as she wished, and pressed the floor button where his apartment was located to return to the apartment.
Looking at the elevator that had already gone up, Kim Tae-hee turned around and walked towards the nanny car.
"Is it really a pity, so reluctant?" Park Shixian said teasingly as she looked at Kim Tae-hee who got into the car.
"Looks like Ernie you can't wait to have a deep conversation with me, so I'll look for you in your room when I get to the hotel. That kind smile made Park Shixian shudder, and then immediately didn't dare to speak anymore.
After Li Zehan returned to the apartment, he came to his room, intending to look at the gifts he received.
Lee Tae-han's mother gave him a Patek Philippe Ref.5297 white gold watch, his sister gave him a long wallet from Bottega and Kim Tae-hee gave him a fountain pen from Aurora, Italy's top pen.
After reading the gift, Lee Taekhan sent a message to Kim Tae-hee to express his gratitude, and his love for this gift can be seen between the lines.
And Kim Tae-hee, who was on the way to Busan, looked at the message sent by Li Zehan and smiled, but did not reply, but hummed a song happily, and Park Shixian, who was watching, sighed in a low voice, spring has really arrived.
