Chapter 32: Straight Man of Steel
It was almost noon, Xiao He left the study, intending to order takeout.
As soon as I opened the door, I smelled the smell of food.
Confused, he walked to the kitchen and heard the crisp sound of a spatula clashing.
Walking to the kitchen door, he was a little surprised by the scene in front of him, and he was stunned for several seconds before he reacted.
The kitchen is always deserted, but it will be very lively.
On the gas stove, a pot of things was boiling on one side, and a slender figure was blocked on the other side, and a wok was faintly visible on it.
That slender figure was undoubtedly Wen Yan.
She was skillfully swinging the spatula, moving quickly and naturally.
She didn't seem to notice someone behind her, and continued to swing the spatula.
A few minutes later, she put out the fire, took the porcelain plate and packed the dishes, turned around to bring the plate out, and then saw Xiao He standing silently at the kitchen door.
"Are you hungry? There's one green vegetable left, and you can start the meal after frying." Let's go and set the chopsticks first. She handed him the plate in her hand, and her tone was natural.
Xiao He subconsciously took it, frowned, and his eyes fell on the red and green broccoli and red pepper fried beef on the plate.
It looks good, and it should look delicious.
No, that's not the point.
"You ......"
As soon as he wanted to speak, his words were intercepted by Wen Yan: "Why are you still stunned? Do you want to eat and not work? Don't think too beautiful!"
As he spoke, he nudged him lightly.
Xiao He pursed his lips, and finally didn't say anything more, and walked towards the restaurant with a plate.
He went and took the dishes and chopsticks, and placed them on both sides of the table.
After a while, I saw Wen Yan come out of the kitchen with a plate of dishes.
The verdant green choy sum, neatly arranged on an oval-shaped plate and drizzled with a thickened sauce, is simple but looks tempting.
"Eating, what are you doing in a daze?" Wen Yan served him a bowl of white rice, and her tone was natural and warm, as if she was the owner of this room.
Xiao He was indeed hungry, glanced at her, saw her smiling, and looked expectant, his eyes flashed slightly, he looked away, and picked up chopsticks.
Home-cooked food, since my mother passed away, it seems that I haven't eaten it for many years.
He eats staff meals in the company, and he is used to ordering takeout on weekends, and occasionally goes back to the Xiao family's old house, which is full of delicacies from the mountains and seas, but he has no appetite at all in the face of that family.
This, looking at the hot three dishes and one soup, he suddenly had a feeling of returning to his childhood, and he felt warm inexplicably.
"Try this treasure fish. Wen Yan eagerly sandwiched a large piece of fish belly into his bowl, and there was pride in his tone, "Don't look at this fish, it seems that the method is very simple, in fact, it is the most difficult to do...... Look, it's still stabbing me, it hurts!"
These words sounded funny and cute, and Xiao He inexplicably appeared in his mind the picture of Wen Yan fighting with the fish.
He didn't even realize that the corners of his lips were raised in a shallow arc, and a tender white finger reached out in front of him.
The green index finger has a thin layer of calluses at the joints, and his gaze moves up, and there is a conspicuous red spot on the originally white fingertips, and a small red dot can be seen if you look closely.
The soft and fragile fingers suddenly made him feel the urge to hold it, and even wanted to bow his head and kiss the reddened skin.
"What a straight man of steel!" Wen Yan saw him looking at her fingers, silent, she muttered dissatisfiedly, and waved her fingers at him, "At this time, you should say, come, I won't hurt if I blow it for you." ”
As he spoke, he withdrew his hand, took a large piece of fish himself, and ate it in a big gulp, not forgetting to glare at him.
Xiao He looked at her bulging cheeks, her widening eyes, and suddenly smiled, her voice was low and mellow, with a slight banter: "Fathead fish." ”
Wen Yan: "......"
Xiao He has a lot of work today, and the bidding project of the Science and Technology Innovation Park has come to an end, and the final bidding plan will be decided this week.
The project is very important to him and whether he can take another step forward this year. This project is also of great significance to Yuncheng Group, which is the largest project of Yuncheng Group this year, and winning this project means that the group has truly succeeded in transformation.
As the chairman of the group, Xiao Qizheng handed over this project to his young and junior son, which was also a risky move.
In public and private, Xiao He must win this project, not only to give an explanation to the group and his father, but also to his mother.
Throughout the afternoon, Wen Yan didn't come to harass him again except for bringing coffee over once.
Dinner was still made by Wen Yan, and a few dishes were changed, coincidentally, they were all his favorite dishes.
At ten o'clock in the evening, Xiao He came out of the study.
He just walked into the room and was about to close the door, Wen Yan came to his door at some point, pulled the edge of the door with both hands, and smiled at him: "Mr. Xiao, I forgot to buy pajamas today, can you borrow me a set of extra pajamas here?"
Xiao He didn't believe that she really forgot, I'm afraid, this is her trick again.
Too lazy to expose her lies, he simply went to the closet to find a set of pajamas for her this time.
After giving Wen Yan his pajamas, he closed the door directly, not giving her a chance to speak.
Wen Yan didn't care, and walked to the bathroom with her pajamas.
When I wore it, I found that the pants were too big, and the top was too long, so that it could cover the thighs.
She simply didn't wear pants at all, and came out bare-legged and in slippers.
When I came out, I happened to meet Xiao He who came out to drink water after bathing.
Xiao He stood at the door of the room and saw the bathroom door a few meters away open, and a black figure came out in the faint mist.
The wide pajamas could not hide her delicate curves, and the lines of her waist were faintly visible, and she walked towards him, her two slender and white legs swinging, like stripped rhizomes, trembling and holding the budding rose buds, swaying and beckoning to him, waiting for him to pick.
Xiao He's feet seemed to have been spelled by a fixed shape, he couldn't move, or he didn't want to move, he didn't know, he stood in place and watched her get closer and closer to him.
As if hearing a flower bloom, he saw her coming, her face more delicate than the stamen bloomed with a pure and bewitching smile, her moist eyes were affectionate, her long eyelashes were lightly fanned, the corners of her eyes were reddened by water vapor, her small chin was slightly raised, and her ruddy cherry lips were slightly curved.
He felt a little dry and pursed his lips unconsciously.
He thought she would do something, but she just walked up to him with light steps, tilted her head, and smiled at him delicately: "Your pajamas are so big, they can be used as nightdresses for me." ”
As he spoke, he frowned funny, like a clever and eccentric girl.
Xiao He naturally looked down, and realized that she was not wearing pajama pants.
"I'm a little tired today, so I slept first. She waved her hand at him.
Xiao He was a little surprised, she was so peaceful.
After pouring a glass of water and drinking it, he stood in the kitchen for a while.
When he came out, he inadvertently turned his head to look at the living room, Wen Yan was lying on the inside of the sofa, as if she had fallen asleep, and the thin quilt on her body covered her body tightly.
Xu felt hot, she stretched out her arm and pulled the quilt, most of the quilt hung on the ground, her upper body was exposed, and her pajamas were messy.
The night light is dim, and under the dark pajamas, a large piece of white and greasy skin is exposed, so dazzling that people can't take their eyes off.
She didn't seem to be sleeping well, and moved again to adjust her sleeping position, one leg was inadvertently bent, and the quilt slipped off her leg and piled it up at her waist.
Without the legs covered by the quilt, they were clearly exposed in front of his eyes. If he had come closer, he would have seen ......
Xiao He stiffly ripped his gaze away, poured more than half a glass of water, drank it in one go, and quickly returned to the room.
Under the dim light of the living room, a pair of rippling eyes quietly opened.
