I Want A Lifetime With You

When Shi Nuan walked into the kitchen, she saw Fu Chengyan busy cooking. She stood at the door for a while before Fu Chengyan noticed her presence and said, “Why don’t you sit outside?”

“We’re not doing much outside. Are you sure you can handle all these by yourself?” Shi Nuan looked at Fu Chengyan and noticed that that he was very organized and methodical. She observed him for quite some time before asking, “Do you need my help?”

Fu Chengyan paused for a moment and nodded his head. He then said, “Take a look at the soup and adjust the intensity of the fire. I brought it to boil a while ago. Please let it simmer now.”

“Sure!” Shi Nuan walked to the pot and took a sniff and said, “This smells really good. What soup is this?”

“Pork bone soup,” Fu Chengyan paused for a moment and said, “You were drugged yesterday and there’s definitely some remnant of the drug in your body. Drinking some soup is good for you.”

When Shi Nuan heard Fu Chengyan’s words, she nodded with a smile and said, “Sure. But since when was I drugged? I have no recollection about it. Also, what about Shi Wei……” At this time, Shi Nuan realized that something was amiss as Shi Wei would usually be gloating or reprimanding her furiously whenever something happened. But this time, she was not around.

Doubt started to fill her thought as she could not recall what happened yesterday and Fu Chengyan also did not fill her in on the incident. “Was Shi Wei really the one who kidnapped me?”

Fu Chengyan raised his eyebrows and said, “Your reaction time is a little too slow. Shouldn’t you have asked this earlier?”

Shi Nuan pursed her lips and replied, “As you have said, I was drugged and that’s why my mind is not very alert.” Shi Nuan held a ladle in her hand to stir the soup in the pot before bringing it to a simmer. She then leaned against the kitchen island and stared at Fu Chengyan.

She realized that whatever Fu Chengyan did was pleasing to the eye, even if it was only a menial matter. Shi Nuan imitated the usual way Fu Chengyan clasped his hands and said, “How did Shi Wei react when you rescued me yesterday? Based on her character, she would definitely come after me. But I still haven’t heard much from her today.”

Fu Chengyan lifted his eyebrows, twitched his lips and replied, “Isn’t it better if she’s not around to give you a hard time? Unless you are the kind of person who likes to be abused. Are you?”

“That’s not what I meant!”

“If that’s not the case, please help me to cut some garlic and ginger,” Fu Chengyan continued cooking while instructing Shi Nuan to help out. “Stop thinking about this matter as it’s not going to help you in any way.”

“That’s true.” It was a relief to be freed from Shi Wei. Although Shi Nuan still felt that something was amiss, she could not tell what went wrong.

Meanwhile, a “battle” was taking place at the living room. Although it was merely a misunderstanding between them all these while, Song Rongrong still found Su Shaoqing too snobbish. Furthermore, the smile of Su Shaoqing’s was just too irritating to Song Rongrong and that prompted her to challenge Su Shaoqing.

The method that they adopted was quite straightforward. The loser of the poker game would be punished with notes being pasted on his or her face.
