Just as he had promised, Huo Yun Chen only took three days to complete his shooting in F Country. Once he was done with his work, Huo Yun Chen spent most of his time at home.
In the morning, Xia Yu would head over to the hospital and come back home to find that someone had prepared dinner for her.
On the day that she had to stay on the night shift, someone would bring her and her colleagues some midnight snacks.
These days, Xia Yu's colleague has become familiar with Huo Yun Chen. Whenever he came to deliver something for her, the others would tease her until her cheek flushed.
On her off day, Xia Yu woke up early in the morning only to find that someone was in the kitchen, preparing breakfast.
The person who had once cooked instant noodles for her had now learned to cook various types of food as well.
Leaning half of her body on the wall, Xia Yu continued to watch as Huo Yun Chen prepared some scrambled eggs. She watched as he flipped the eggs in the pan and thought that the man was incredibly good-looking.
Her heart pounded loudly against her ribcage. She wanted to go over and hug him but was worried that an accident might happen.
Huo Yun Chen slid the eggs into a plate and finally realized that someone was spying on him. The corner of his lips tilted up into a charming smile. "You're awake?" He put down the frying pan into the sink and waved his hand at her. "Come over here."
Xia Yu approached him slowly.
Without warning, Huo Yun Chen hooked his arms around her waist and lowered his head to kiss her lips. "Good morning." The smile on his face widened when he saw the dazed look on her face.
His Xia Yu was really adorable when she get embarrassed like this.
"Have a seat first. Breakfast would be done soon."
Perhaps, it was because her mind was still in a trance. Xia Yu turned around and sit in the dining room obediently.
A few seconds later, she then wondered why did she obediently listened to his words. Xia Yu stood up, wanting to return to the kitchen and help around, but Huo Yun Chen had already brought over the plates to the table.
Xia Yu looked at the love-shaped toast at the side and laughed. The platting was adorable and she could not help but to snap some photos of it.
Huo Yun Chen sat across her and the two of them ate their breakfast together. He watched her scoop some scrambled eggs into her mouth and asked, "How is it? Good?"
Xia Yu nodded. "It's delicious." Someone had cooked for her. Of course, everything that he had made for her would taste very sweet.
Growing up, Xia Yu seemed to recall that by the time she was older enough, her mother would often ask her to cook for the family. It was rare that someone would make her breakfast.
"What are you planning to do today?" Huo Yun Chen asked, snapping her out of her thoughts.
"I don't have to go to the hospital today," Xia Yu said. She looked at the man and smiled. "We are free to go anywhere we want."
"Then, let's go on a date. It's rare for us to go out and play."
Xia Yu naturally did not have any objection to his suggestion.
After breakfast, the two of them washed up quickly and headed out.
The two of them walked in the street, holding hands. Xia Yu could not help but look around her, wondering if a reporter was going to jump out suddenly and snap a few pictures of them together.
But after a while, Xia Yu gradually relaxed and lowered her guard down.
They were in a foreign country where there were not many people who would recognize them. The feeling of walking around without having to worry too much would feel very good.
After visiting a few places in the city, the two of them stopped by a restaurant to have lunch.
Xia Yu stared at the man in front of her, feeling reluctant to part with him. Huo Yun Chen had stayed in F Country for more than a week and he was scheduled to return on the weekend.
She could not help but wonder if she was too greedy for wanting to stay beside him all the time.
"What are you thinking about?" Huo Yun Chen noticed that someone was in a daze again and he could not help but pinched at her cheek.
Xia Yu lowered her head. "I was thinking that you are going back to Capital City next week."
Huo Yun Chen laughed. However, upon closer look, one would notice the way his eyes had turned a shade darker. "I haven't left yet but you already missed me?"
Seeing the teasing look on his face made her blush.
"The album is set to be released soon," Huo Yun Chen said. "Later, I will be busy touring to promote the album."
Xia Yu bit at her lips, knowing that she would not be able to see him for months when he started to promote his album. Her heart grew heavy just thinking about it.
"After the promotional period ended, I will take a break and accompany you here, alright?" His voice was soft and coaxing.
Xia Yu looked at him in surprise. "Really?"
She was aware that Huo Yun Chen was a busy person. Moreover, after some of his fans had wanted to boycott him after their dating news come out, Xia Yu had watched him as he worked very hard to prove himself.
"Mmm... Brother Xiang should have nothing to complain about as long as I have worked very hard."
Huo Yun Chen paid for their lunch and the two of them were about to leave the restaurant when they ran into a couple of girls.
Seeing the way the girls were staring at Huo Yun Chen with their eyes wide, Xia Yu quickly figured out that they have recognized him.
"You," one of the girls pointed at Huo Yun Chen. Then, she quickly retracted her hand, knowing that she was being rude. "You're... Huo Yun Chen?"
Xi Yu subconsciously tightened her hand into a fist to calm her nerve.
The last time she had encountered Huo Yun Chen's fans, the girls had thrown spoiled food at her. Thinking that she might be scolded again, Xia Yu grew scared. Her breathing labored and she shrunk to hide behind her boyfriend.
However, before she could hide, Huo Yun Chen had clasped his hand with hers, intertwining their fingers.
