When they finished work at night, Tang Yue specifically reminded his manager, Zhu Xiao, that no matter what, he had to come and fetch him in the future.
After this morning's matter, she had begun to realize that Ouyang Mo's sudden visit to pick his up was simply not done on a whim.
She didn't want to get too close to him. From now on, she had to draw a clear line between them.
The black Mercedes-Benz stopped in front of the apartment building, and Tang Yue got off from the car and went upstairs.
When she got out of the elevator, she subconsciously looked at the door opposite her.
Angele stood in the hallway for a while and entered the password. The door was opened by Angele.
She stood in the doorway and listened, as if there were no one there.
After closing the door, she returned home. She played with her son for a while, then exchanged a few words with Auntie Mi before going out.
They went to Huo Shengzhi's house on the opposite side.
Huo Shengxuan said that Uncle would be back for dinner tonight. He closed the door and went to the kitchen to take a look first.
Uncle didn't come back for the past two days, so there wasn't much food at home.
Tang Yue went back to her house and brought some vegetable and eggs over. She tied up her apron and started to cook dinner.
There were four dishes for dinner, plus rice porridge.
Because everything had to be done before the uncle returned, Tang Yue's speed was very fast.
When it was almost eight o'clock, she finally brought all the dishes to the table.
She turned around and saw that the rice porridge in the wok was all done. She carefully carried it out of the kitchen and placed it on the table.
Just as she stepped out of the kitchen, she hit a wall of meat. With a scream, her hand loosened and a small pot of porridge fell to the ground.
Although Huo Shengzhi's movements were quick, some porridge still fell on Tang Yue's feet.
Her entire leg was covered with the scalding rice porridge, causing Tang Yue to scream out in pain.
Seeing her small face instantly wrinkle into a little bun, he quickly bent down and carried her across his arms, then quickly entered the bathroom.
She quickly turned on the sink faucet and soaked her feet in cold water.
The water from the taps kept washing the scalded area, reducing the pain in his feet to its lowest point. Just being hugged like this, Tang Yue felt a little awkward.
"Uncle, put me in the bathtub. You've been tired all day, and it's tiring. "
As if he didn't hear her words, Huo Shengzhi looked down at her and asked slowly, "Why did you suddenly think of cooking dinner for me?"
"I heard Brother Huo said that a lot of things happened in your family. You not only had to take care of Grandfather, but you also had to worry about Uncle Huo. "So I thought …"
"Can't you be a little more careful? How can you go to work when you're so hot? "
Tang Yue pouted with a bit of grievance: "It was you who suddenly appeared, okay? "If you had said hello to me, I wouldn't have been so scalded …"
"You mean it's all my fault?"
"I didn't say that …"
"You came to my house to cook dinner for me. Why do I feel like you've done this before?"
A similar image somehow popped up in his mind. There was a little girl who had done the same thing before, but he couldn't remember what she looked like clearly.
Tang Yue's eyes suddenly lit up, her small hand grabbed onto his shirt, tightly locking both of his eyes. "Uncle, did you remember? I used to cook for you, did you remember me? "
Huo Shengzhi stared at the small face that was trying to recall his memories, his head was in pain, he shook his head, and looked at Tang Yue in her arms, feeling apologetic.
Tang Yue embarrassedly pulled out a smile: "Don't worry, just think about it slowly. There will definitely be a day when you will remember me."
"What if I remember that you were married to another woman when you came?"
Tang Yue was startled, she had never thought about this question before.
"It doesn't matter. As long as you can remember me, you can do it anytime."
Regardless of whether or not he thought of himself, even if he leaned against his chest like this, an indescribable happiness would still arise in the depths of his heart.
In the five years since she had left him, she had imagined more than once what it would be like to be back in his arms.
So it was the same wonderful feeling he had when he was in love with her all those years ago.
"Uncle, do you know?" "Actually, not long after I left, I began to regret my decision to give up such a good husband of yours to another woman. I feel especially foolish …"
She had regretted it more than once in the past five years, especially after she found out that he was in a car accident. She regretted it so much that her intestines turned green.
However, there was nothing he could do about it. At this moment, he could no longer remember who she was.
She pressed her face into his hot chest, and had even forgotten about the threat of Yun Nuo. She only wanted to be on good terms with him.
Huo Shengzhi lowered his head and looked at her a few times in silence, then he put away the cold water in the pond and changed it into new cold water.
"Does your foot still hurt that much?"
"It's a lot better to soak in it like this. "Uncle, put me down. You definitely haven't had a proper meal in the past two days. Just go eat, don't worry about me."
"Do you think I can eat it like this?"
Tang Yue giggled while looking at him: "If you could eat it, then you wouldn't be that uncle I met before."
Huo Shengzhi was amused by her cute expression and words. The originally dull feeling in his heart became a lot more relaxed.
It was unknown if it was because Huo Shengzhi was not willing to let go of her, or because he felt guilty for causing her to be burned to her feet, but Huo Shengzhi continued to hug her like this for more than half an hour, and saw that it was almost time.
He carried her into his bedroom and carefully placed her on the bed.
He wiped her feet with a clean towel and took out a small bottle of red liquid from the drawer next to her bedside table.
Open it, carefully put it on for her.
"Uncle, what's this?"
"When I was a soldier, this medicine was specially used to treat burns. It was made from the oil of the rat. How does it feel to put it on?"
Tang Yue nodded her head: "En, it's cold, but it feels much better now."
"These past two days I've been doing it every morning and every night. I'll be back soon. Fortunately, there are no bubbles this time, so there shouldn't be any scars. "
Tang Yue stared at the side of his face, then suddenly leaned forward and kissed his face lightly: "Thank you, Uncle."
Huo Shengzhi turned his head to look at her, his gaze sweeping across her eyes and eyebrows, nose, and cherry red lips, trying hard to recall this woman's figure from his memories.
He raised his hand and pinched her cheek.
This familiar action caused Tang Yue's eyes to suddenly moisten. She grabbed onto the big hand that was placed on his face and looked at him with misty eyes: "You used to … like touching my face like this... I'll never forget it... This is how it is … "Uncle …"
