C741 The Smile in His Memory
"Then I'll tell you in advance that lunch will be served by you, and dinner will be prepared by me. I also want you to taste my cooking." Xu Zhiyuan really wanted to be good to Cheng Nuo.
Seeing Xu Zhiyuan speak so seriously, Cheng Nuo could only nod her head in agreement.
The lunch Cheng Nuo made was very simple. She made a braised prawn, a plate of stir-fried meat, a cabbage soup and a cold cucumber. It was very simple to stay at home.
"Uncle Xu, isn't it a little too simple? There are too many dishes in the market. There are so many dishes. I don't even know what to buy." When Cheng Nuo returned to the dining table, Only then did she feel that she did not pay much attention to Xu Zhiyuan. After all, he was a guest. How could she be the same as usual?
"It's okay. That's good. I like to eat home-cooked dishes. The cumbersome cooking methods in the hotel have lost the original taste of the ingredients." As long as it was made by Cheng Nuo, Xu Zhiyuan felt that it was good. Even if it was dark cooking, he could eat it without leaving anything.
Seeing that Xu Zhiyuan did not seem to mind, and Cheng Nuo knew that Xu Zhiyuan was not a person with a different expression, she happily accepted it. Although she did not cook much, it was full. The four of them were full.
"Grandpa, can you play games with me?" Yunxiao was only two years old, but he actually took the initiative to talk to Xu Zhiyuan.
Although Xu Zhiyuan preferred to hear Yunxiao call him grandpa, he was already very satisfied to be able to accompany them now.
"Sure, what game does Yun Xiao want to play?" Xu Zhiyuan said and carried Yunxiao up.
"Grandpa, tell Yun Xiao a story."
Seeing Yunxiao and Xu Zhiyuan interact, Zuo Xinyan only remained silent. However, Cheng Nuo could tell that she was envious.
"Uncle Xu, tell Yun Xiao and Xinyan a story."
"Okay. Grandpa will tell Yun Xiao and Xinyan a story." Xu Zhenyuan hugged Yunxiao with one hand. He brought the siblings back to the study room. Although he was talking about some historical stories, the two of them listened very seriously. Cheng Nuo went to the study door several times to look around and found that they were getting along very well.
She did not know why, but seeing Xu Zhiyuan telling them a story very seriously with a gentle smile on the corner of his mouth made Cheng Nuo feel very familiar, but she could not remember where exactly she had seen him.
This feeling was like she had seen him in a dream. It was clear that he was familiar, but she could not recall where he was.
In the end, Cheng Nuo could only blame it all on her wish to have a father. That was why she had such a feeling.
"Uncle Xu, eat some fruit. You said it for so long. Rest for a while. Talking for a long time is not good for your throat." Cheng Nuo cut the fruit and made another pizza.
"Wow, it's pizza. Mom's pizza is the best!" The person who cheered was Zuo Xinyan. Although she was always timid and her face was thin, she seemed to have put down her guard against Xu Zhiyuan.
Seeing Zuo Xinyan so happy, Cheng Nuo could not help but raise her hand to pat her head, "I know you like to eat, but mom made an extra reserve to serve as supper for you."
"Thank you, Mom." Zuo Xinyan wrapped her arms around Cheng Nuo's neck and planted a kiss on her cheek. It was completely like a mother and daughter pair without any estrangement.
Seeing how they got along so well, Xu Zhiyuan felt touched in his heart.
This person in front of him was her daughter. She was always so kind and tolerant. Although she was Zuo Xinyan's stepmother, she could make Zuo Xinyan treat her as her biological mother and respect her.
After eating fruit and pizza, the siblings were sleepy. Cheng Nuo took them back to take an afternoon nap and instructed them, "After you guys sleep, mom and grandpa will go out to buy dinner dishes. If you guys wake up early, you must be obedient and not mess around. You must be careful, understand?"
"I know." The siblings, one big and one small, replied at the same time.
"Yes, good boy." Cheng Nuo pressed a kiss on Zuo Xinyan and Yunxiao's forehead before pulling the blanket over them and singing a lullaby to them gently.
After Zuo Xinyan and Yunxiao's long breathing sounded, Cheng Nuo quietly left the room. After closing the door, she looked at Xu Zhiyuan with a smile, "Uncle Xu, I made you wait for a long time."
"Actually Xinyan is not young anymore. Isn't it not good to take care of her like this?" Xu Zhiyuan knew nothing about what had happened to Zuo Xinyan. He just felt that Zuo Xinyan seemed to be much more childish than her peers.
Cheng Nuo wanted to explain when she opened her mouth, but she thought about it. She felt that this was a wound that Zuo Xinyan would never be able to heal for the rest of her life. As Zuo Xinyan's mother, She said, "I know. It's just that many things have happened to Xinyan that her peers have not experienced. As long as she can be happy. "No matter what, it's fine."
Since Cheng Nuo felt that this was good, then let's do it this way. Xu Zhiyuan and Cheng Nuo went out to buy groceries.
The two of them walked out of the neighborhood. Someone quietly followed behind them to take pictures.
Xu Zhiyuan and Cheng Nuo were not too intimate, but whenever a car passed by, Xu Zhiyuan would nervously protect Cheng Nuo.0
"Uncle Xu, you don't have to be so careful. I am an adult now. As an elder, I should protect you."
Hearing Cheng Nuo's words, Xu Zhiyuan's eyes showed affection. "You are like my daughter to me. It is natural for a father to protect his daughter."
Even if Tan Jingyou was nice to Cheng Nuo back then, she had never said such things to Cheng Nuo. Cheng Nuo only felt a warm feeling in her heart, making her nose feel a little sore.
"Uncle Xu, you are really good to me."
Was this considered good? He owed her too much. He wished he could give her all the best things in the world.
"Silly child." Xu Zhiyuan smiled and raised his hand to gently touch Cheng Nuo's head.
But it was this intimate action that made the people who were taking photos behind them quickly press the shutter.
Cheng Nuo was immersed in Xu Zhiyuan's gentleness, and Xu Zhiyuan was also immersed in the happiness of losing and getting back. Neither of them noticed that they were taken.
"Uncle Xu, what are you going to do tonight? The sweet and sour pork you brought last time tastes really good. " I've tried it once, but I can't forget it. I've tried it myself, "Uncle Xu said. But there was never that feeling... Cheng Nuo was not good at cooking. Although she used to cook a lot in the past, But it's just to make sure you don't starve to death.
"Do you like to eat? I'll cook it for you tonight." Xu Zhiyuan's mind was full of the dishes Cheng Nuo liked to eat when she was young. He must make a table of dishes Cheng Nuo liked to eat tonight.
