"Any flavor is fine, but make it as less spicy as possible. That stuff isn't good for your body."
Li Yang nodded, not looking around much. He walked and talked, entering his small room. Looking at the tiny space, a sudden feeling of sentimentality welled up in his heart.
This small room that had accompanied him for quite some time, he was finally leaving it today.
Lin Shiyu heard Li Yang's preferences and immediately remembered them. While pondering how to make the food without spice, she proactively began helping Li Yang pack.
She opened the wardrobe, which was full of clothes thrown in haphazardly. Lin Shiyu found a large bag and started helping Li Yang pack them one by one. She even sorted through his underwear without any hesitation.
"Those clothes are broken anyway. Just take them out and throw them in the old clothes recycling bin. No need to organize them so carefully."
When his underwear was pulled out, Li Yang felt a bit awkward. He couldn't help but say this, but Lin Shiyu naturally thought that even if they were going to be thrown away, they should still be tidied up. He immediately shrugged, resigned to letting her do as she pleased.
He then also started to move. His phone charger, power bank, shoes, laptop, etc. Some small items he had bought before that he still wanted to keep were packed separately and set aside. Everything he didn't want to keep was packed into suitcases.
Packing with two people was quick, mainly because Li Yang didn't have much stuff. By 10:40, the room was clean.
"You go downstairs and throw away the things you don't want. I'll start preparing the vegetables and cooking."
The air conditioner had been turned to the lowest setting when they entered. Although Lin Shiyu was a bit tired after forty minutes of work, thankfully she hadn't sweated much. After packing, she turned to look at Li Yang and said with a smile.
She had put in a lot of effort into cleaning the room today.
"Okay, I'll go down twice then. You go ahead and get busy."
Li Yang smiled and nodded. Lin Shiyu beamed, rolled up her sleeves, and turned to enter the kitchen to start preparing vegetables. Li Yang glanced at the chicken, ribs, and pigeon that had been stewing in three different pots beforehand, as well as the various vegetables outside...
The rice that had been put in the rice cooker earlier was already emitting a fragrant aroma.
"You really prepared a lot."
Li Yang chuckled. Seeing Lin Shiyu's long, black-stockinged legs busy with her back to him, the corner of his mouth curved up again. He then turned and took out two large bags of trash.
"Slow down, don't bump into anything."
As he went out, Lin Shiyu, who was cooking in the kitchen, called out a reminder. Li Yang carried the bags and took the elevator. It didn't take long to get from their floor to the old items recycling area downstairs. He put the things that belonged there inside, and for the remaining items that were still somewhat useful but no longer wanted, he attached notes and left them by the roadside for anyone to take.
After going back up once more to get trash, the things in the rental apartment were basically all dealt with. Li Yang washed his hands and went to the kitchen, wanting to help Lin Shiyu prepare the vegetables. To his surprise, she had already started cooking.
"I already prepared the vegetables that were hard to clean when I bought them back. Just now, I was peeling onions, ginger, and garlic."
Looking at Li Yang's suppressed gaze, Lin Shiyu smiled. "You go sit down and rest. Everything here is almost done."
"It's just the two of us, you don't need to make too much."
Seeing the kitchen full of dishes, Li Yang couldn't help but say something. Although he was wealthy now, he still preferred to follow the principle of making the best use of everything and didn't want to see unnecessary waste.
"It's okay, we can put the leftovers in the fridge and keep eating them."
Lin Shiyu smiled, showing her white teeth. Li Yang shook his head and didn't say any more. He returned to the living room, lay down on the sofa, enjoyed the air conditioning, opened the real estate app, and started browsing.
Besides houses in Heyang City, he also wanted to look at houses in his hometown county. After all, he would always return to his hometown, and Heyang City was some distance from his hometown county. Having a house in the county would also be more convenient.
Furthermore... the most expensive houses in the county were only a little over 500,000 yuan, which was nothing.
Thinking this, Li Yang looked at several sets and felt they were all quite good. He would check them out when he returned home.
He had looked at enough houses, and the food was just finished. Lin Shiyu went to the bathroom to touch up her light makeup, then came over to call Li Yang for dinner. Only then did Li Yang put away his phone and help her carry the dishes to the table.
"Three soups, three dishes, this is too extravagant."
The meal was ready and had a home-cooked feel to it. Lin Shiyu served Li Yang a bowl of rice and brought it over, handing him the chopsticks. Li Yang looked at the table full of dishes and couldn't help but exclaim in admiration.
"It's good as long as you like it, eat quickly, eat quickly."
Seeing Li Yang's expression, Lin Shiyu couldn't help but smile. She sat down next to him with her bowl of rice and proactively served him a spoonful of pigeon soup.
Li Yang took a bite and was surprised to find that it tasted really good. He couldn't help but ask if she had learned how to cook. Lin Shiyu shook her head, "I used to cook a lot, and I always followed recipes, so it came naturally."
The food was delicious, and their mood was good. The two of them started chatting, branching off from this topic.
Their conversation eventually turned to relationships...
As they talked about relationships, they somehow finished eating without realizing it. Lin Shiyu's face was flushed, and she turned to look at Li Yang sitting next to her. "Li Yang, I'm actually very willing..."
Dong dong dong...
Lin Shiyu's face was flushed, and she wanted to say something, but unexpectedly, there was a sudden rapid knocking sound at the door. She looked at the door in surprise. "Who is it, coming at this time?"
"I don't know, I'll go open the door and see."
Li Yang was also a bit startled. Just as he was about to stand up, Lin Shiyu had already gotten up first. "I'll go."
Seeing this, Li Yang also left the dining table, wiped his mouth, and pondered what Lin Shiyu had been about to say. He sat down on the sofa in the living room. Lin Shiyu opened the door and was immediately stunned. "What are you doing here?"
"I came to see you, to see you."
A familiar voice with a hint of fawning came from the doorway. Li Yang frowned, and then heard Lin Shiyu's cold voice. "We have no relationship now, I don't need you to see me."
"Hey, don't be in a hurry to close the door, let's go inside and talk, it's not good for the neighbors to see."
The fawning male voice followed. Lin Shiyu's action of closing the door was forcefully stopped, and then a somewhat familiar man squeezed in. Seeing him like this, Lin Shiyu turned around angrily and walked towards the living room.
"Oh, this young brother is here too. I have something to discuss with my ex-wife, I want to talk to her. Why don't you go out for a bit?"
The man walked into the living room with a face full of smiles, raised his eyebrows when he saw Li Yang sitting on the sofa, and said.
"Sister Lin, who is this?"
Li Yang watched the man in the suit walk in, but ignored him. Instead, he turned his head to look at Lin Shiyu, who had walked over to stand beside him, and asked softly.
"Don't know him, a stranger. Don't know what's going on, he just insisted on coming in."
Lin Shiyu walked over and stood beside Li Yang, not even glancing at the man who had entered.
A realization dawned on Li Yang. Looks like her husband is still pestering her...
Oh no, her ex-husband...
"A day as husband and wife is a hundred days of kindness. How can you say you don't know him?"
Zhang Qiang looked at Lin Shiyu with a smile on his face. Then, seeing that Li Yang wasn't leaving, he sat down next to Lin Shiyu and reached out to grab her hand, as if declaring his ownership. At the same time, he looked at Li Yang with a half-smile. "This is between us, a married couple. It's not convenient to have an outsider here. Buddy, could you step out for a bit?"
As he spoke the latter part, Zhang Qiang's tone slightly hardened, and there was a hint of a smile in his eyes.
