She first took a glass from the cupboard, filled it halfway with warm water, took a couple of sips, and her gaze inadvertently swept over the refrigerator.
After hesitating for a few seconds, she opened the refrigerator door, where the trendy cake from earlier was quietly placed at the back.
This trendy cake has been incredibly popular in the capital region lately, with limited quantities available daily as part of a scarcity marketing campaign. Wen Shu tried to buy it several times but couldn't manage it.
How can Sister Yanxi just say it exists?
It's probably all about money...
Just as Wen Shu was about to close the refrigerator, she heard footsteps behind her.
"Take whatever you want to eat."
Ding Heng walked in: "It's just a cake."
"My sister said we'll eat it tomorrow."
"Have your sister Yanxi buy two more tomorrow."
"You make it sound so easy, but my sister will start nagging me again."
"Then I'll become your accomplice?"
Ding Heng took out the cake, placed it on the stove, tore off the plastic wrap, took a dessert knife from the knife rack, cut a small piece from the middle, and then took out two forks from the sterilizer.
Wen Shu sat down on the high stool, looked at the cake, and then at Ding Heng.
"Brother-in-law, are you eating too?"
"Try a bite, so you won't be the only one getting scolded."
"Brother-in-law, don't you dislike sweets?"
"Just trying something new once in a while."
Ding Heng handed over one of the forks.
Wen Shu caught it, but didn't rush to do anything.
She laughed and joked, "I always feel like we're doing something bad behind my sister's back again."
Ding Heng remained calm: "What's wrong with eating a piece of cake?"
"You said the same thing when we bought the camera last time."
Ding Heng paused slightly and looked up.
Wen Shu scooped a small piece of cake with a fork and put it in her mouth, looking completely at ease.
Ding Heng continued, "Is the camera still in use?"
"Yes, I'm here."
“You’re filming things everywhere now, I thought you had upgraded your equipment a long time ago.”
"I wouldn't dare throw away something my brother-in-law gave me."
Wen Shu blurted out, but before she could finish speaking, she fell silent.
Ding Heng didn't ask any further questions. He cut off a small piece from the edge of the cake and slowly ate it... It was indeed a bit too sweet.
The two sat facing each other, taking turns eating.
"Oh, right."
Wen Shu seemed to suddenly remember: "The wine cabinet in the living room of the apartment I rented was empty, which looked really ugly."
"Buy whatever you want to drink."
"I don't understand."
"Didn't you complain last time that my drink wasn't fancy enough?"
"hey-hey."
Wen Shu smiled innocently and tentatively offered a suggestion.
"Brother-in-law, when you have time, could you make a list for me? Sister Yanxi and Sister Huaqing occasionally come over, and we need to prepare something to entertain them. Otherwise, the house will just look empty."
The reasoning was incredibly contrived.
Ding Heng deliberately asked, "Do you have money to buy wine?"
"Well……"
Wen Shu bit the fork and pouted.
Ding Heng smiled and said, "I'll send some wine over another day, just as a decoration."
Wen Shu didn't ask for the specific time and continued to eat her cake.
sweet!
Footsteps suddenly sounded, and Zhao Yanxi appeared at the kitchen door.
She glanced at Wen Shu, then at Ding Heng, and finally her gaze settled on the cake between the two of them, her expression gradually becoming subtle.
Zhao Yanxi asked, "What...are you doing?"
Wen Shu answered bluntly: "I stole some."
"Stealing...stealing food?"
Zhao Yanxi even stutters a little when she speaks.
"cake."
Wen Shu pointed to the plate and smiled frankly: "Sister Yan hope, would you like a bite?"
"no need."
Zhao Yanxi went to the water dispenser to fill her cup, but she was still staring blankly into space even though the cup was already full.
"hiss……"
It wasn't until the warm water overflowed the rim of the cup and dripped onto her hand that Zhao Yanxi suddenly realized what was happening.
Wen Shu looked at her strangely: "Sister Yan hope, why are you so easily startled today?"
"nothing."
Zhao Yanxi pulled out a tissue to wipe her hands.
Recalling the task Ding Heng had assigned her, Zhao Yanxi still felt something was off, even though nothing was happening in front of her.
If it really comes to that, how will Xiao Jingjing react?
There are one or two cats in the house, and they've given the kittens so much trouble...
Chapter 353: Making Up for Lost Love
The next morning.
Wenjing is always the first one up in the family.
Just after seven o'clock, the sizzling sound of frying eggs could already be heard from the kitchen.
Hua Qing was doing her morning exercise on the balcony, and Zhao Yanxi, who insisted on working out her flexibility with her, was also there.
Ding Heng was sitting at the bar drinking coffee when he turned his head and saw Wen Shu coming out of the guest room.
"Good morning! Brother-in-law..."
She sat down beside her, yawning as she asked Wenjing, "Sister, what do you want to eat?"
Wenjing brought over the cooked porridge, placed two fried eggs on top, took off her apron, and sat down.
"The locks on the rental apartment were changed this afternoon, right?"
"Yes, I made an appointment with the locksmith for around 2 o'clock."
No classes this afternoon?
"No."
Wenjing didn't ask any more questions, but instead began to give instructions.
"Remember to send me the password after you change the lock. I can come over occasionally to tidy up for you, so you don't turn this place into a pigsty."
"Know it……"
Wen Shu still looked like she hadn't woken up yet, and was sluggish, until Wen Jing took out another tram key and placed it in front of her.
Wen Shu asked in surprise, "Sister, is this... for me?"
"Sister Hua Qing's old car is just sitting at home and we don't need it, so you can drive it."
"Didn't you think it was a waste of money for me to rent a place? You even prepared a car for me?"
"Since we've already rented it, it has to look decent."
"Oh."
Wen Shu didn't stand on ceremony and put the car keys into her pocket.
She knew her sister's quiet personality all too well; allowing her to drive Hua Qing's old car was already a huge indulgence.
Ding Heng observed the two sisters' reactions but did not interrupt.
After breakfast, Wenjing started clearing the dishes, and Wenshu went over to help.
"sister."
"how?"
"nothing."
Wen Shu smiled ingratiatingly: "Just come visit me more often when you have time."
"what?"
Wenjing was slightly surprised, then continued clearing the dishes: "We'll see."
"Then National Day..."
"Let's talk about it again."
