Going Home (1)

"Haha, still saying you're not thinking about the boss! You should have gone with us. The boss misses you terribly. If you were here, I'm sure he wouldn't have gone to Myriad Flowers Tower, and there wouldn't be these sisters here." Liu Feiyan said with a smile, teasing Zhen Xiaoyan's blushing and cute face with her finger.

"Who knows? Even if I were here, he would still go if he wanted to eat," Zhen Xiaoyan said calmly.

"Alright, alright, stop being modest. Everyone knows your culinary skills are unparalleled. Your Osmanthus Cake is far better than theirs. If the boss were here, he would definitely choose yours," Liu Feiyan said with a smile, her tone seemingly tinged with jealousy.

Zhen Xiaoyan's culinary skills are also a major highlight of the teahouse. Many people come specifically to eat her dim sum, and if possible, they would also like to enjoy Zhen Xiaoyan banquet dishes.

However, under normal circumstances, Zhen Xiaoyan rarely hosts banquets, at most once a month, and this once-a-month banquet has become something that many people pursue.

And so Zhen Xiaoyan's name became deeply ingrained in people's hearts, driving many people crazy. Some self-important people even came and asked Zhen Xiaoyan to cook banquets for them, but the result was always the same: they were asked to leave the teahouse, or even leave Ye City.

Everyone here knows that Zhen Xiaoyan is one of the most important people around Ye Lang. Offending her is equivalent to offending Ye Lang.

In Ye City, is there anyone who would dare to mess with Ye Lang's people? No, unless they don't want to stay here any longer.

"So what if my cooking skills are unparalleled? It's still the same if no one eats..." Zhen Xiaoyan said faintly, her melancholy affecting everything around her.

"How could no one eat it? Countless people are scrambling to eat your food, including the boss! Don't be so sentimental here, this is so unlike you!" Liu Feiyan said with a headache. She rarely saw Zhen Xiaoyan in such a mood, in fact, she had never seen her like this before.

Zhen Xiaoyan is the kind of cheerful girl who never knows the taste of sorrow. She's a bit carefree, but very cute!

"Fei Yan, do you think Ye Lang might miss me... food? Will he take the initiative to see me? Hehe, never mind, I already know the answer even if you don't say it. How could he possibly take the initiative to come? He's confused and has so many things to deal with!" Zhen Xiaoyan smiled, and in her smile, the old Zhen Xiaoyan seemed to have returned a little, as if she had become a little more cheerful.

"So that's why you're acting this way. You're nervous because the boss is back and you don't know what to do or how to face him." Liu Feiyan understood; she knew what Zhen Xiaoyan was going through.

Often, people look forward to seeing someone, but the moment they arrive, before the meeting, is often the most nerve-wracking, filled with inexplicable emotions.

"What? I'm not nervous at all. It's not like I haven't seen him before. It's just... it's been a long time..." Zhen Xiaoyan smiled, seemingly back to normal, and stood up, wanting to walk around in front.

At this moment, Liu Feiyan still thought that Zhen Xiaoyan had really recovered, but she soon realized that this was just a superficial phenomenon!

"Of course Ye Lang won't come. Zhen Xiaoyan, what are you thinking..."

Liu Feiyan heard Zhen Xiaoyan speaking very softly, but in the end, she couldn't hear what Zhen Xiaoyan was saying at all. However, she was certain that Zhen Xiaoyan was still in that state and had not recovered.

So what if she hasn't recovered yet? She'll just have to wait for Ye Lang to come and see her. Until then, there's nothing anyone can do.

Liu Feiyan felt that Ye Lang was unlikely to come tonight, or at least not tomorrow, because Ye Lang had many things to do, and why would he spare time to come for Zhen Xiaoyan?

Her idea was the same as Zhen Xiaoyan's. However, what neither of them expected was that when they got to the front, a somewhat confused face that they both loved and hated appeared in front of them. It appeared suddenly without any prior warning.

"Fatty, you've come at the perfect time! I was just looking for you!"

"Ah! Ah?..." Zhen Xiaoyan's mouth was agape as she stared blankly at Ye Lang in front of her. It all seemed to have come too suddenly, leaving her completely unprepared.

"What are you spacing out for? I'm a little hungry. Go and cook me a meal. Ye Lang Fei Yan, a little puzzled, because the two girls were staring at him blankly without making any move.

"Ye Lang, are you... are you really here?" Zhen Xiaoyan was a little incoherent. She wanted to ask if this was true, but it felt like a dream, so sudden.

"Of course it's real, I'm the real deal! Fatty, we've only known each other for a few months, how come you don't recognize me?" Ye Lang patted his chest to show that he was genuine, while also wondering what was wrong with Zhen Xiaoyan, how could she not recognize him as real or fake.

Zhen Xiaoyan pinched Ye Lang, and seeing that Ye Lang was in some pain, she smiled and let go, saying, "What do you mean by several months? We haven't seen each other for a full eight months."

"Eight months is still a few months, it's all the same. Okay, I haven't had dinner yet, hurry up and make me some food," Ye Lang said, looking pitiful.

"Okay, I got it! I'll make it right away. Here, have some first..." Zhen Xiaoyan smiled and took out some snacks for Ye Lang, then turned and went to the kitchen, looking very happy.

"Hurry up, I'm getting hungry very quickly..." Ye Lang called out to Zhen Xiaoyan while eating his snacks.

"I know, I'm ready, it'll be quick!" Zhen Xiaoyan replied. She had indeed been ready for a long time. The first thing she did when she learned that Ye Lang coming back was to cook food for him.

At that time, she didn't think about whether Ye Lang would come today; it was just her mindset that made her do it.

When others learned that Ye Lang had returned, they might go to see Ye Lang immediately, or they might ignore him and wait until he arrived. But Zhen Xiaoyan Ye Lang different from everyone else. Her reaction was to prepare something delicious for Ye Lang, even though she didn't know if he would actually get to eat it.

"Alright, I'll wait here then," Ye Lang called out, then found a seat and sat down. This wasn't a seat he usually sat in; he just picked one randomly.

Every time Ye Lang comes here, he just finds a seat anywhere; he doesn't have a fixed spot!

And so, their reunion began suddenly, and proceeded uneventfully...
