Film and TV: Starting from childhood, I will give up Zhong Yi

Chapter 240 Entering Gu Jia's House, Things in the Car

Grand Hyatt Mansion.

Lin Yuan accompanied Gu Jia back home.

After the two of them changed into slippers, Gu Jia walked into the bedroom with graceful steps, quickly took off her windbreaker, changed into comfortable home clothes, and simply tied her hair up, with a few strands of hair falling beside her cheeks, adding a bit of gentleness to her.

Then she walked straight into the kitchen and skillfully took out ingredients such as eggs, flour, milk, corn oil, etc. in one go.

She poured corn oil and milk into the egg yolks and stirred gently with a whisk. After a while, they were blended into a uniform emulsion.

Lin Yuan looked at her "foolishly" from the side, she was indeed a woman who was good at both housework and housework.

Such a straightforward and passionate gaze caused some strange ripples in Gu Jia, a wife and mother.

However, she did not stop what she was doing. She poured the batter into the piping bag and squeezed it into paper cups accurately, filling them to just 80% full.

Once you have placed these paper cups in the oven, set the time and temperature.

Lin Yuan suddenly came back to his senses and said apologetically, "I'm sorry, Sister Jia, I thought of my mother."

Gu Jia smiled gently. Lin Yuan’s eyes did not offend her. Of course, this was also related to Lin Yuan’s appearance.

While waiting for the cake to be baked, Gu Jia was not idle either. She started preparing the cream and fruits for decoration.

He also carefully wrote each child's name with syrup.

Lin Yuan couldn't help but exclaimed: "Sister Jia, Brother Xu is so lucky to marry you."

Gu Jia shook her head modestly: "I'm not that good."

Lin Yuan said sincerely: "Sister Jia, if you are single, I will pursue you no matter what."

In any case, in Lin Yuan's opinion, Gu Jia's final divorce from Xu Huanshan is a foregone conclusion.

He has plenty of opportunities to pursue Gu Jia.

He was not worried about angering Gu Jia.

At this moment, he just wanted to leave a deep impression on the other person.

Most women are not stupid, let alone a smart woman like Gu Jia. She may not be sure at first whether others have any feelings towards her, but after a long time, she will naturally be able to feel it.

When Gu Jia knew his intention but continued to interact with him, he was already halfway successful.

Gu Jia smiled gently: "Thank you for your compliment. The world is so big, you will definitely meet someone better."

Time passed minute by minute, and the oven made a "ding" sound, announcing that the cake was done baking.

Gu Jia opened the oven door and a rich aroma of eggs wafted into her nose. The golden cake on the baking tray exuded an attractive luster.

She carefully took out the cake and placed it on a wire rack to cool.

After the cake had cooled slightly, Gu Jia began to decorate the cupcakes with cream and fruits, and at the same time gently embedded the syrup with the children's names on it into the top of the cream.

Gu Jia picked up a cake and handed it to Lin Yuan: "This is for you."

Lin Yuan was a little embarrassed: "Sister Jia, I didn't help at all, how can I feel embarrassed?"

Gu Jia chuckled and said seriously: "Why are you being so polite to me? You are Xiaoqin's brother, which means you are my brother. Try it. If you like it, I will make more for you in the future."

Lin Yuan suggested: "Then let's eat together."

As he spoke, he picked up a piece of cream and gently put it to Gu Jia's mouth.

Gu Jia felt that this was a bit ambiguous, but looking at the cream that Lin Yuan had already brought to her mouth and his clear eyes, she finally gently held the cream in her mouth.

Although she was very careful, her lips and teeth still accidentally touched Lin Yuan's fingers. This touch made Gu Jia's cheeks slightly red.

Lin Yuan licked the cake on his fingers naturally and praised it highly: "Jia Jie, your cooking skills are really good. This cake is much better than the ones I tried abroad."

Gu Jia suppressed the throbbing in her heart and said with a smile: "As long as you like it, I'll make more for you next time."

The two of them came to school with carefully made cupcakes, and Xu Ziyan happily distributed cakes to the children.

Muzi's mother was still at school at this time and walked up to Gu Jia.

"Let me add you to our class's parent group. One is for teachers, and the other is for parents only. After all, some things are not convenient for teachers to know. Don't you think so?"

"No problem, I'll do as you say." Gu Jia nodded gently to express her gratitude, "Thank you for telling me about this tradition of our kindergarten today."

Muzi's mother said in a bossy tone, "Don't be polite to me. From now on, you have to do whatever I say. You can't go wrong if you listen to me."

Gu Jia still looked very decent and generous: "Okay."

"Then can you help with the food party in two days?"

Gu Jia readily agreed: "I'll follow your arrangements."

After delivering the cake, Lin Yuan and Gu Jia left the kindergarten and returned home. Aunt Chen was already preparing lunch.

Lin Yuan suddenly said, "Jia Jie, if one day you have to choose between your husband's career and your son's safety, which one would you choose?"

Gu Jia answered without hesitation: "Of course it's Zi Yan."

After saying that, Gu Jia looked at Lin Yuan with a worried look.

Lin Yuan nodded gently and comforted her: "Sister Jia, don't worry too much. I'm here, nothing will happen."

Hearing Lin Yuan's comforting words, Gu Jia's worries gradually dissipated.

In the afternoon, Lin Yuan borrowed Gu Jia's computer and discussed some company decisions with foreign employees in English.

In the middle of the meal, Gu Jia thoughtfully brought him a cup of coffee to help him wake up.

Lin Yuan was busy for a while, and then started chatting with Gu Jia. It was almost four o'clock before he went to the kindergarten with Gu Jia again to pick up Xu Ziyan from school.

……

At eight o'clock in the evening, under the warm light, Zhong Xiaoqin was having dinner with her colleagues.

Zhong Xiaoqin wrote a wedding vow for a colleague. It did not contain any fancy words, but used the simplest language to outline the most beautiful image of marriage.

"From today on, no matter how busy we are, we will have dinner together. We won't play with our phones or turn on the TV at the dinner table. We will just chat about family matters."

"From today on, I will not quarrel with you anymore. If we have to quarrel, we will end it today. I can't let you go to sleep with troubles."

"From today on I will not keep any small animals, because in this world, no cat, fish or dog is as cute as you."

"From today on, you don't need to struggle in front of the mirror with your necklace and earrings. I'll help you put them on and take them off."

"From today on, in your world, I will not remain silent or pretend to sleep, and I promise to never lose contact."

"Together, we fight against the dullness, anxiety and impermanence of marriage. Together, we face aging, forgetfulness and obesity. Together, we create new lives, send them on their journeys and wait for them to return home."

After listening to the marriage vows, her colleagues praised her writing skills and thought that her marriage would be happy and fulfilling.

Little did she know that these beautiful words were nothing more than her idealistic hopes for a real marriage.

Zhong Xiaoqin just smiled faintly, but her smile concealed a bitterness that no one knew about.

She and Chen Yu didn't even have a wedding at the time, they just got a marriage certificate. Now thinking back carefully, they didn't even have a single sweet memory together.

But if we really talk about the sweetness of marriage, it is not completely absent.

In her dreams, the days she and Lin Yuan spent hand in hand were still very happy.

Every eye contact, every hug, and every thrust in the dream were so real that it was terrifying. As long as I closed my eyes, those feelings would emerge clearly.

But she didn't tell anyone, after all, this matter was too unbelievable.

She also fantasized that one night she would be able to return to that dream again.

Zhong Xiaoqin gently stirred the soup in the bowl and sighed barely perceptibly.

As the dinner was coming to an end, colleagues gradually stood up to say goodbye.

Zhong Xiaoqin remembered what her colleague had just said, that pregnancy is the highlight moment in a woman’s marriage, like being the queen of the family.

After hesitating for a long time, she took out her cell phone, walked to the corridor, and called Chen Yu.

After the call was connected, Zhong Xiaoqin unconsciously put on a negotiating tone: "Hello, husband, my dinner party is over. Can you come pick me up?" Chen Yu asked: "Have you drunk too much?"

"No, can't you come over?"

"I'm busy here, please call a car and come back."

Zhong Xiaoqin couldn't help but ask angrily, "What's the matter? Aren't you just cleaning up your fish?"

Chen Yu didn't respond and hung up the phone directly.

At this time, he was sitting on the floor, installing a night light in the corner.

Zhong Xiaoqin had to get up frequently at night after she became pregnant, so Chen Yu thought of installing a few night lights to make it more convenient for her to move around at night.

However, Zhong Xiaoqin didn't know this at the time.

She was not surprised at all that Chen Yu refused to pick her up. Apart from feeling disappointed as always, she also felt a little angry.

Chen Yu, if you refuse to take me back, then I will go find Lin Yuan.

At this time, several female colleagues walked up to Zhong Xiaoqin and said with concern: "Xiaoqin, come with us."

Zhong Xiaoqin forced a smile and refused: "No, my husband is here to pick me up."

Zhong Xiaoqin thought: The husband in the dream is also my husband.

When Lin Yuan saw the caller ID from Zhong Xiaoqin, he didn't rush to answer the phone. He let the phone ring for more than ten seconds before he slowly picked it up.

"Sister, what's wrong?" Lin Yuan's slightly lazy voice came.

"I just finished a dinner with my colleagues..."

"Send me the location and I'll pick you up."

Before Zhong Xiaoqin could finish her words, the rustling sound of clothes came from the phone, as if Lin Yuan was turning over and getting out of bed.

Zhong Xiaoqin felt a little sweet in her heart, and her voice became cheerful unconsciously: "Then I'll send it to you on WeChat."

After Lin Yuan hung up the phone, he found an eyeliner and applied it around his eye circles, smudged out a bluish-gray eyeshadow, making himself look a little tired, then changed into a short-sleeved shirt and shorts and went out.

After half an hour.

Lin Yuan saw Zhong Xiaoqin standing at the restaurant door from afar, her almond-shaped eyes with bangs flickering in the night.

After he parked the car, he reached out to ruffle his hair and walked towards Zhong Xiaoqin.

"Have you been waiting for a long time?"

Zhong Xiaoqin was a little surprised when she saw Lin Yuan's outfit, and chuckled and said, "Why did you come out like this?"

"I came out in a hurry." Lin Yuan naturally put his arm around Zhong Xiaoqin's shoulders, his chest pressed against her back, as if to give her some warmth. "Aren't you cold wearing only a short-sleeved shirt? Don't get cold at night."

"not bad."

Zhong Xiaoqin felt as if a feather was gently brushing against her heart. Chen Yu would never say such intimate words.

She was half-huggled towards the passenger seat. Fortunately, her colleagues had all left by then, otherwise she would not have dared to be hugged by Lin Yuan so openly.

The warm yellow interior lights in the car came on, and Lin Yuan leaned over to fasten her seat belt, his jet-black hair almost brushing the tip of her nose.

Zhong Xiaoqin looked at Lin Yuan with curved eyebrows, and then she noticed the dark circles under Lin Yuan's eyes.

"Why do you have dark circles under your eyes?"

Zhong Xiaoqin subconsciously raised her hand to touch it.

Of course it’s to make you feel sorry for me.

Zhong Xiaoqin stretched her fingers into the air and Lin Yuan grabbed them, rubbing his thumb gently on the back of her hand.

"I held several meetings with several executives of the company last night, and then accompanied Sister Jia to the kindergarten several times during the day, so that's it."

Zhong Xiaoqin had a bitter face, full of guilt, "Did I disturb your rest?"

Lin Yuan gently placed the back of her slightly cool hand against his lips and gave her a soft kiss.

"I'll give it to you. I'm willing to do that."

Zhong Xiaoqin looked at him with her innocent big eyes, pursed her lips, her cheeks flushed, and she timidly withdrew her little hand, the warmth of his lips still lingering on her fingertips.

But I made up my mind that I must compensate him well.

As for the last time at Lin Yuan's house, the 'last' intimate contact in her mind had been thrown out of her mind.

Lin Yuan placed his slender fingers on the steering wheel, and the car slowly drove into the colorful street.

Zhong Xiaoqin looked at the night view outside the window, then at Lin Yuan's profile. She couldn't help but smile. Suddenly, as if she remembered something, she asked, "Did you see anything when you went to the kindergarten today?"

"I didn't meet many parents today. Muzi's mother seemed to have a subtle attitude towards Jiajie, but I'm not completely sure that she would affect Ziyan, so I didn't tell Jiajie to avoid damaging their parent relationship. There will be a food party at the kindergarten in a couple of days, and I'll take a look then."

"Oh~" Zhong Xiaoqin drew out the last word and nodded repeatedly, her ponytail swaying gently with the movement.

Lin Yuan was silent for a moment, then suddenly asked, "Is Chen Yu working overtime today?"

"He's at home cleaning the fish."

"Sister, I don't want to say anything gossipy." Lin Yuan's tone was full of dissatisfaction, "But isn't this Chen Yu a bit too much? You are pregnant now, and he refuses to even send you? Even if you are not pregnant, it is so late, he should pick you up right now, right?"

Zhong Xiaoqin did resent Chen Yu’s indifference, but if Chen Yu really came to pick her up, she would not have the chance to be alone with Lin Yuan.

"It's okay. I'm used to it." Zhong Xiaoqin wrung her hands together.

"I'll go upstairs with you later. I have to talk to him." Lin Yuan pretended to be indignant and said firmly, "If he doesn't want to, I will be responsible for your coming and going from get off work in the future."

Zhong Xiaoqin waved her hand hastily: "No need~"

Firstly, she didn't want to see Lin Yuan and Chen Yu in conflict. Secondly, if Lin Yuan stood up for her, she would feel even more embarrassed. After all, her relationship with Lin Yuan was not that pure.

Lin Yuan just shook his head and said nothing.

The car slowly drove into this old residential area, and Lin Yuan found a parking space and stopped.

He turned off the car, unbuckled his seat belt neatly, and pretended to go upstairs with Zhong Xiaoqin.

Suddenly, he felt a warm touch on his knee, and Zhong Xiaoqin's soft little hand was placed on his knee.

However, contrary to Zhong Xiaoqin's expectations, Lin Yuan rejected her.

After an unknown amount of time, a sharp cell phone ringtone rang out.

The word "husband" jumped on the screen. Zhong Xiaoqin stared at the words and her throat tightened.

Chen Yu at home was a little puzzled. It had been more than an hour since Zhong Xiaoqin finished the dinner. Why hadn't Zhong Xiaoqin come home yet?

"Hello, where are you?" Chen Yu's familiar voice came from the receiver, with his usual indifference.

Zhong Xiaoqin's heart tightened, and she pretended to be calm and said, "I'm on my way, almost there."

"Oh, I see." Chen Yu said calmly and hung up the phone directly.

Lin Yuan and Zhong Xiaoqin walked out of the back seat. Wiping the sweat off her forehead, she bit her lower lip and said in a voice softer than the wind: "It's getting late, you should go back and rest."

"Well, I'll be moving to Grand Hyatt in a few days. I can take you back when you get off work."

Zhong Xiaoqin blushed, responded randomly, then turned around and quickly went back home.

When I opened the door, Chen Yu was standing in front of the fish tank, feeding the fish as expected.

Sure enough, the fish is more important than myself.

But she didn't lose her temper with Chen Yu. She just took a few clothes and went to the bathroom to take a shower.

It was not until she got up at night that she discovered that some corners of the wall had dim night lights installed, gently illuminating the darkness like stars.

This scene, on the contrary, made Zhong Xiaoqin feel a little guilty.
