Yezhi and Lin Haitao entered the Zhang Family home, with Zhang Ling warmly greeting them. "Sister Ye, why did you come so late? The food is about to get cold!"
Yezhi smiled slightly and didn't respond. Lin Haitao, with his head lowered, stepped into the house first. Zhang Ling looked around, feeling that Brother Lin and Sister Ye seemed a bit strange today.
Although Lin Haitao had his back to Yezhi, at that moment when the orange light filled the room, a pair of red ears exposed themselves to her view. Yezhi couldn't help but laugh, feeling a joyful sensation bubbling up in her heart.
"Sister Ye, what's going on between you and Brother Lin?" Zhang Ling asked, linking her arm with Yezhi's, looking puzzled.
"Nothing at all!" Nothing at all was hardly true. Just an hour ago at the street corner, Yezhi boldly kissed him and then provocatively took Xiaobinzi's hand, swaggering back to the Lin family home, attracting the attention of many onlookers along the way. Lin Haitao was still sweetly lost in thought when they entered the Lin family door, but Yezhi immediately let go of his hand and began to hold him accountable for everything. She questioned him about what kind of relationship he had with that beautiful college student named Sun, who was the niece of his boss. Lin Haitao was already dizzy from Yezhi's repeated mentions of "girlfriend," clearly hearing her words but only remembering those four characters.
Yezhi received no response and grew anxious! Was there really something going on with that girl named Sun? "Xiaobinzi, you’ve held my hand and kissed me; you have to take responsibility! Besides, I like you so much~!"
Lin Haitao suddenly pushed open the crimson door and stepped out quickly. "The Zhang Family must be waiting anxiously; let's go!"
Seeing that it was getting late, Yezhi hurried back inside to grab a bottle of Rice Bran Oil and rushed after him, hoping to at least see Xiaobinzi's face turn red with joy. However, there was nothing—he walked ahead with a cold expression and didn’t even help her carry anything!
Yezhi felt a bit disappointed. She always thought Xiaobinzi was a reserved man—cold on the outside but hiding a passionate heart inside. Why didn’t her confession of love work on him? Could it be…? It wasn’t just her imagination; it was indeed a bit strange. However, in the end, those "red ears" gave Yezhi a satisfactory answer.
"Sister Ye, really nothing happened!" Looking at Yezhi's cheerful smile, Zhang Ling appeared unconvinced.
Yezhi laughed heartily. "Nothing! Nothing at all!" After saying that, she slipped into the kitchen.
"Aunt is still cooking, hmm~ it smells so good!"
Zhang Dou's Mom was very happy to see Yezhi. "Hehe~ What does Yezhi like to eat? Aunt will make it for you right now!" This was simply VIP treatment. "Ha~! I just love meat, as long as there's meat, Aunt can make it however she likes, just don't tire yourself out!"
"How could frying a couple of dishes be tiring!" Northeast women are indeed hardworking. Yezhi always thought housework was the most tedious thing in the world; it would be strange if it weren't tiring.
"Aunt, this is the Rice Bran Oil we pressed ourselves; you might think it doesn't smell as good as lard or Soybean Oil, but it's really nice for stir-frying vegetables, very fragrant."
Zhang Dou's Mom looked at the plastic bottle of oil and scolded, "Why do you keep bringing things over? Didn't I say that if you keep being so polite, I won't let you in next time!" Yezhi pretended to be innocent and chuckled.
"Mom, is the food ready? Do you need my help?" Zhang Ling walked into the kitchen.
"No need for your help, it's almost done. You can keep Xiao Huang company." Xiao Huang! Yezhi looked at Zhang Ling with a knowing glance, causing Zhang Ling to shyly lower her head.
Soon, the table was filled with dishes, and everyone took their seats. Zhang Ling sat on Yezhi's right side, and just as Zhang Dou was about to sit on her left, he was stopped by Lin Haitao. "What are you doing?" Zhang Dou turned around, and Lin Haitao said in a low voice, "I'm sitting here!" Then he quietly took a seat. Zhang Dou moved one seat over, muttering, "What's the difference where we sit!"
The food was indeed abundant—there were chicken, fish, and duck. Yezhi saw Aunt put a chicken leg into Xiao Huang's bowl and couldn't help but recall a saying from Northeast: "When the son-in-law enters the door, the little chicken loses its soul." Hehe~ Xiao Huang is indeed the future son-in-law of the Zhang family! This mother-in-law is becoming more interesting; not only was Aunt grinning from ear to ear. Uncle Zhang was also particularly happy today, raising his wine glass to toast Everyone. Aunt couldn't bear to let him drink less but after seeing him down three cups in a row, she snatched the cup away and said, "Alright, alright, no more drinking; eat more vegetables!" Watching this scene made Yezhi feel warm inside. At that moment, a piece of sauced rib was placed into her bowl. When she turned around, she met Xiaobinzi's deep black eyes; she smiled gently, and Xiaobinzi's eyes gradually softened like water.
"Dang!" Everyone's gaze suddenly focused on Zhang Dou. Uncle Zhang was the first to speak up, "You're such a big person and can't even hold your bowl properly; that's ridiculous."
Zhang Dou held his bowl again and buried himself in chewing rice. It wasn't that he couldn't hold his bowl; he was startled. What could be more delightful than enjoying delicious food? When he looked up, he saw a pair of lovers gazing at each other intently—of course, the main characters were Yezhi and Xiaolin... cough~ cough~ cough!
"Is someone competing with you? Eat slowly!" Zhang Dechang shook his head at Zhang Dou. When will this kid mature? Xiaolin already has someone as good as Yezhi; what about him... sigh...! Zhang Dou's Mom also shook her head. She originally wanted to matchmake her son with Yezhi; alas~ Xiaolin has good taste—when will this child ever grow up!
Zhang Ling covered her mouth, laughing non-stop, "Sister Ye, this braised pork was specifically requested by Brother Lin for me to buy!"
The usually generous Yezhi felt a bit embarrassed, turning her head foolishly to ask Lin Haitao, "Really?" Lin Haitao nodded expressionlessly. Uncle Zhang and his wife laughed heartily, while Xiao Huang, being perceptive, quickly added a piece of her favorite mushroom to Zhang Ling's bowl. This time, Yezhi playfully winked at Zhang Ling.
"Yezi, this vegetable stir-fried in Rice Bran Oil is indeed particularly fragrant!" Zhang Dou's Mom praised as she enjoyed the stir-fried Big White vegetable.
"What Rice Bran Oil?" Uncle Zhang and Zhang Dou asked in unison.
"It's made from the rice bran of Bilo!" Yezi's answer piqued Zhang Dechang's interest, prompting him to ask several questions. "Is oil really categorized as healthy or unhealthy? Is Rice Bran Oil really as good as you say?" These two questions were not just on Zhang Dechang's mind; everyone present except Lin Haitao shared the same curiosity.
"Of course!" Yezhi spoke confidently. "Director Yu's research report on Bilo pointed out that Bilo has a particularly high selenium content. Selenium has anti-aging properties and enhances the body's immune system. With so many health benefits, how could it be unhealthy?" She initially wanted to recite what Xiao Fang had said verbatim but remembered that today was the inspection day and feared overselling it, so she settled on discussing selenium.
"Yezi, does it have any benefits for stomach issues?"
"Well, I think it should help a bit!"
The meal lasted two hours in total. Zhang Dou pulled Xiao Huang along while Lin Haitao drank heavily; in the end, he was the first to collapse. Yezhi helped clean up the table and walked out of Zhang Family with Lin Haitao.
The two walked one after the other in the night. Suddenly, Lin Haitao stopped and reached out his hand towards Yezhi. Yezhi chuckled and refused to step forward. Lin Haitao counted until 200 before turning around in mild annoyance and taking her hand. Not only did Yezhi not resist, but she also leaned her head on Lin Haitao's shoulder. The two walked slowly together. At that moment, Yezhi recalled a line from Journey to the West: A beautiful love is when one is shameless and the other pretends to be reserved. Hehe~ she was the shameless one, while Xiaobinzi pretended to be reserved; their love was just beginning beautifully!
