3224 Be Human

"I bought porridge with lean meat and century eggs. It's still boiling hot. I bought buns with mushrooms and rapeseed stuffing, vermicelli eggs and corn stuffing, beef stuffing, and sauced meat stuffing. Not only do the buns have white and soft skin, but the pleats on the buns also look very beautiful.

"In addition, I bought pickled bamboo shoots as well as the homemade salted duck eggs that the store had guaranteed to be absolutely delicious."

Yan Zhiqing couldn't help but salivate when she heard this.

Initially, she didn't feel hungry.

But when Wei Wucai started talking, she felt hungry and wanted to eat something.

The thought of the hot porridge and the white, fat, and soft bun with more than enough fillings caused Yan Zhiqing to salivate uncontrollably.

"Just pass me the breakfast," Yan Zhiqing said.

"…" Wei Wucai paused for a moment and said, "How can you kick me to the curb once I have outlived my usefulness?"

Yan Zhiqing raised her chin as she said, "Are you giving it to me or not?"

"Hahahaha," Wei Wucai hastily said.

No matter how much one suffers, one should not allow the child to suffer. No matter how hungry one feels, one must not starve one's wife.

To Wei Wucai, Yan Zhiqing was like his wife and his daughter.

She was very precious.

Of course, Yan Zhiqing had no idea of these things.

Yan Zhiqing had no knowledge of Wei Wucai's thoughts. She extended her hand to take the breakfast.

Wei Wucai stared at the ungrateful little one before his eyes. She didn't even hesitate to extend her hand to take the breakfast and totally treated him like a delivery guy.

Wei Wucai then said, "This door is too small though. The breakfast won't get in."

Even the container with the porridge would be too big to fit through the opening of the door.

"Take the chain lock off the door," Wei Wucai said.

Yan Zhiqing thought to herself, if she took it down, Wei Wucai would then be able to get inside the room.

As of now, she really didn't trust Wei Wucai's promise.

"…" Wei Wucai appeared to have been hurt by the disbelief in Yan Zhiqing's eyes as he continued, "How about… I put these on the ground and you can take them in after I leave?"

Yan Zhiqing felt speechless.

She knew that Wei Wucai was pretending that he was hurt.

When he brought the medicine earlier, he said the same thing but still came inside.

However, Yan Zhiqing did feel slightly embarrassed.

Even when he especially bought breakfast, she was still on guard against him.

It did seem hurtful.

And so, Yan Zhiqing took the chain lock off the door and opened it to take the breakfast from Wei Wucai.

She thought about this and decided that she shouldn't be too ungrateful. Hence, the words "thank you" were uttered.

Wei Wucai was speechless.

Yan Zhiqing said thank you and was about to close the door.

But then, Wei Wucai blocked the door.

Considering Yan Zhiqing's strength, she obviously couldn't close it no matter how hard she tried.

Yan Zhiqing felt speechless.

Was this dude ever going to keep his promise?

As she thought about this, Wei Wucai started speaking again. "I haven't had breakfast."

He added, "The portion I bought was for two people."

Yan Zhiqing felt speechless.

"The breakfast is all in this bag," Wei Wucai said.

How could Yan Zhiqing allow Wei Wucai to continue playing his tricks?

And so, Yan Zhiqing showed a very professional fake smile as she responded, "Then take my portion out and leave yours in the bag. You can take it back."

"…" Wei Wucai thought about how it was currently so difficult to fool the little girl before his eyes. He had no choice but to say, "You should just let me eat here with you and I will go back after eating."

He continued, "If you eat here by yourself, you will feel really lonely. You usually eat with everyone else. Are you used to eating by yourself?"

"I am used to it," Yan Zhiqing said without even thinking.

Normally, when she had no work, she would stay home by herself, and it had always been extremely comfortable.

Yan Zhiqing had always loved the feeling of being by herself.

She felt free.

Wei Wucai was speechless.

"But I am not used to it." Wei Wucai had no choice but to continue trying to win sympathy. "I will feel rather lonely if I go back and eat by myself."

Yan Zhiqing felt speechless.

"Didn't you say that you would give me time to calm down by myself?" Yan Zhiqing said as the corner of her mouth twitched.

Did it look like he was giving her time to calm down by herself?

Yan Zhiqing looked at the time on her phone and saw that it was 9:16 AM.

It was around seven when Wei Wucai came to give her the medicine. It was definitely around 7:30 AM.

Yan Zhiqing didn't even bother to verify the actual time.

She simply calculated and found that it had only been around two hours.

And so, when he said that he was going to give her time to calm down, he was only going to give her two hours to do so?

Was this how his household calculated a day's time?

""I can just eat breakfast here. I won't disturb you," Wei Wucai said. "You can calm down by yourself. You don't have to acknowledge my presence."

Yan Zhiqing felt speechless.

Hehe!

I would be damned if I believed you.

How could she not acknowledge his presence when Wei Wucai had such a conspicuous one?

How would that be possible!

Wei Wucai would never give her the chance to do so.

Yan Zhiqing was very much right.

Before Yan Zhiqing could say anything, Wei Wucai had entered and closed the door.

Yan Zhiqing felt speechless.

Wei Wucai was obviously going to stay here no matter what. Why was he even asking for her opinion?

"You said that I would have a day to calm down? Was that a… joke?

Yan Zhiqing was so angry that she almost cursed.

"I will leave right after I finish breakfast," Wei Wucai said. "Then you can continue calming down."

"…" Yan Zhiqing said with a stiff expression, "Wei Wucai, can't you be a normal human being?"

Was this the way to let someone calm down?

Wei Wucai totally pretended he hadn't heard Yan Zhiqing's complaints. He took out the breakfast and nicely arranged them on the table.

"Look. I even set up our breakfast. Just let me eat here please?" Wei Wucai said.

After he had set up the breakfast, he lifted his hands and placed them on the sides of his face while saying, "I promise that I will only eat breakfast. I won't do anything else."

He paused for two seconds and said, "I won't kiss you."

Yan Zhiqing felt speechless.

She wasn't even thinking about this at all. Therefore, even if Wei Wucai said that he was only eating breakfast and was not going to do anything else…

She was not going to think about anything messy.

However, Wei Wucai just had to add this one explanation.

Who knew if he was doing this on purpose!

"It's not that I don't want to kiss you. I am just worried that you won't be willing. I—"

"Enough!" Yan Zhiqing hastily interrupted. If she didn't, who knew what might come out of his mouth?

It had taken her much effort to forget about this.

But the few words that Wei Wucai had uttered reminded her of this again.

And now, her entire body felt uncomfortable.

Yan Zhiqing took a deep breath and tried to calm herself down.

It was unknown as to when, but after Wei Wucai messed with her like this, she found herself having an easier time being around him.

Looking at the current situation, it was clear that it would be impossible for her to kick Wei Wucai out of this room. Yan Zhiqing inhaled and exhaled deeply before saying, "If you talk about these things again, you will have to get out right away!"

Hearing this, Wei Wucai understood that he was allowed to stay if he could keep his mouth shut.
