Ever since I had made up with Long Zijin, Long Zijin had basically not mentioned anything about embroidery in front of me, causing me to be a lot happier in my heart. Long Zijin would sometimes tell me not to move in with him, but I still rejected him. Although he was a little disappointed, he still respected my decision.
Towards Liu Tanqing, I feel a little guilty. After all, he had helped me a lot, but I couldn't reply. Today was the same as usual. I came to Dong'er's Pet Shop and watched Dong'er face off against one kitten after another. She was mischievous and cute.
"Dong'er has reached the grade that she should be in love with." I teased her.
"Dong'er, what kind of boyfriend are you looking for?"
"You want to find a warm-hearted man to take care of me?" Dong'er's face revealed a wistful look. She seemed to yearn for something else when it came to finding a boyfriend.
"Dong'er will definitely find a super warm-hearted man."
Dong'er continued to feed the kitten, happy as a child.
"Someone's coming, why don't you entertain them?" Turning his head, it was actually Liu Tanqing.
"Why are you here?" I went to greet him happily.
"I haven't seen you for a long time. You're not welcome."
"No, how did you know I was here?"
"Because we agree." Although Liu Tanqing doesn't come here often, he would still send people to watch over me, afraid that some bad people would come knocking on my door and harm me.
"Dong'er, this is my big brother, Liu Tanqing."
"Hello, big brother." Dong'er's mind was pure, and she smiled like a flower.
"Your sister is just like you, cute." When Liu Tanqing saw how she was feeding the cat, he couldn't help but start to laugh. Liu Tanqing really liked girls with pure hearts, and it was likely that most of the women by his side weren't like this, which was why they were cherished so much.
"Drink." I gave Liu Tanqing a cup of water. Although Liu Tanqing hasn't been here for a long time, he knows all about my affairs like the back of his hand.
"You are with Long Zijin."
"Yes, yes." A trace of loneliness flashed past Liu Tanqing's eyes.
"I understand. From now on, I'm your big brother right? Real big brother." After Liu Tanqing finished speaking, the tears in my eyes started to flow.
"Big brother."
"Yi Yi, don't cry, it's a pretty good thing. I have an extra sister, if you cry, I won't be your brother anymore. I hate you."
"This isn't like what Big Bro said at all." I fought back tears.
Dong'er looked at Liu Tanqing and I. Although Dong'er didn't know much about Liu Tanqing and didn't know how Liu Tanqing and I got to know each other, Dong'er was genuinely happy, as if the one who recognized her big brother was her.
"This shop belongs to Elder Liu, right?"
"Mhmm, Elder Liu has gone abroad. I have to ask Dong'er to take care of him."
"Looks like Elder Liu really likes Dong'er. Otherwise, how could you be at ease with Dong'er's care?" Liu Tanqing was very familiar with Dong'er. Dong'er really liked cats, so when she passed by Elder Liu's shop, she was always reluctant to part with it. Dong'er's eyes were pure to the core, and anyone could tell that she was fond of Dong'er, which was why Elder Liu liked her so much.
When I thought about how Elder Liu liked Dong'er so much, and thought about how President Zhao was, it seemed that Elder Liu had set his eyes on Dong'er, which was why he agreed to cooperate with President Zhao. Maybe I borrowed Dong'er's fortune.
"Our Dong'er likes anyone who sees her." When Dong'er saw that I was praising her, she turned red and went to find her kittens.
"There's a good man left for our Dong'er. Our Dong'er is about to reach adulthood."
"Why are you in such a hurry? It's only that big. However, what's good about it? I'll definitely keep it." When the three of us were together, it was as if we were family. We teased each other and teased each other, but Dong'er was a bit shy. However, she would slowly join us after a while.
"Let's have a meal together. It's almost noon."
"Sure, where should I go?"
"Let's go home and eat. It's too troublesome if we don't go out and Dong'er has to take care of these kittens. In the afternoon, Elder Liu and Dong'er have to watch these little guys on video." In the end, the three of us went straight to our rented house, intending to cook.
Dong'er's skills are very good, but I think she's still a little lacking when compared to Liu Tanqing. The two of them are all Gods level compared to me, but Liu Tanqing is the guest, so of course we can't cook. It can only be Dong'er and I.
The best dish for Dong'er was the tomato scrambled eggs. Other dishes might not be better than what Liu Tanqing cooked, but this tomato fried eggs were really super delicious. As long as Dong'er cooked this dish, I could eat two bowls of rice.
So I strongly asked Dong'er to cook this dish, and then I also made boiled fish, stewed pork ribs, boiled meat, Kung Bao chicken Ding, and a winter melon ball soup. Although I don't know how to cook, my skills as an assistant are still quite good. Dong'er often cooks at home, so I often help her out.
Very soon, a few dishes were served. Looking at these dishes, I still felt a sense of accomplishment, even though the chef wasn't me.
"Have a taste of tomato scrambled eggs. This is Dong'er's specialty."
"Then I want to try it." Liu Tanqing used his spoon to take a big bite, his face revealing a serious expression.
Dong'er also felt embarrassed, afraid that Liu Tanqing wouldn't like to eat the food he cooked.
"It's really super delicious. I didn't know tomato eggs could be made like this." Dong'er finally let out a sigh of relief.
"That's true. Dong'er is extremely talented." The three of us sat around a table and happily ate. I really enjoyed this atmosphere. If I could have a meal with my family every day, I would be very lucky.
After we finished eating, Dong'er and I cleaned up the dishes together. After Liu Tanqing finished eating, he planned to clean up the dishes as well, but we rejected him.
"You don't need me to wash the dishes. This way we can eat and drink for free. This isn't good, right?"
"It's alright, you're the one who found this house, we don't live like this either."
"I mean I'm afraid I'll fall in love with this for free."
Liu Tanqing's words were quite humorous, and Dong'er laughed out loud.
"Alright, I'll be going now. Wash the dishes properly." After saying that, I packed up and left. Dong'er and I happily washed the dishes.
