“If you suddenly sneeze, that must be me thinking of you. If your phone wakes you up in the middle of the night, well, that’s because I care!” Zhou Chao sang the tune of “1 Love You” by the Sweetheart Goddess as he chopped vegetables, momentarily making him feel like he had traveled back in time.
“Chirp!” Zhou Chao heard crisp laughter and quickly looked up. It turned out that Jiang Li was leaning on the railing, laughing at him.
“Brother Chao, you’re really funny! This is like awakening your childhood memories!!” Zhou Chao saw Jiang Li holding the railing with her left hand, her right hand covering her stomach, and she seemed to be on the verge of laughing uncontrollably!
“Little rascal, come down here! Let me deal with you!” Zhou Chao said teasingly, but his hands didn’t stop as he continued to chop vegetables.
“I’m coming down, no need to make it sound like I’m afraid of you.” Jiang Li descended and quickly walked to the kitchen. Unexpectedly, when Zhou Chao put down his knives, he immediately pulled Jiang Li over and kissed her on the lips!
After a long kiss, Zhou Chao released Jiang Li and looked at her with a smile. “Let’s see if you dare to make fun of me again in the future. If there’s a next time, you’ll face my punishment!”
Zhou Chao even straightened his posture as he said this.
As Jiang Li emerged from Zhou Chao’s embrace and walked toward the kitchen, she turned around and said, “If there’s a next time, 1’11 still make fun of you! Nyah nyah nyah!”
Jiang Li stuck out her tongue and made a funny face, then ran out. Zhou Chao watched her with a smile and then picked up the knife to continue chopping vegetables.
Soon, the kitchen was filled with the sizzling sounds of cooking. Jiang Li sat on the sofa, occasionally glancing at the busy Zhou Chao. She couldn’t help but laugh, perhaps thinking about something beautiful.
“Dinner’s ready, Ah Li.” Zhou Chao’s big head popped out from the kitchen door, calling out.
“I’m coming!” Jiang Li put down her phone and headed to the kitchen.
“Be careful, this soup is hot!” Zhou Chao noticed Jiang Li getting ready to carry the freshly cooked meatbail soup and gave her a heads-up.
“I know, old man!” Jiang Li carried the meatbail soup out of the kitchen and couldn’t resist muttering.
Zhou Chao heard this and felt like a flock of crows had flown by. He turned around, picked up his chopsticks and bowl, and muttered quietly, “Is there any old man as handsome as me?”
“All Li, how about we go for a walk later?” Zhou Chao hesitated for a moment and then turned his gaze to Jiang Li.
“Sure! Let’s go after dinner!”
“Yeah, let’s eat first!” Zhou Chao said as he picked up some beef and placed it on Jiang Li’s plate.
Soon, Zhou Chao and Jiang Li finished their meal. He quickly cleaned up the kitchen, went upstairs for a shower, changed into a fresh set of clothes, and then came back down. By this time, Jiang Li had already changed into lightweight sportswear and was sitting on the sofa playing with her phone.
“Let’s go,” Zhou Chao said, holding Jiang Li’s hand and grabbing the keys as they left the house.
Instead of driving, Zhou Chao and Jiang Li strolled leisurely out of The Palms Residence. When they exited through the side gate, they found themselves in the Guojin Center Plaza.
“Shall we go for a walk?”
“Sounds good!” Jiang Li nodded and headed towards the Guojin Center Plaza.
“After Big Bro’s wedding, let’s go back to Jingdu,” Zhou Chao said, tightening his grip on Jiang Li’s delicate hand.
“Sure,” Jiang Li replied, but then a look of hesitation appeared on her face.
“What are you thinking?” Zhou Chao noticed that Jiang Li seemed to have something on her mind.
“1 want to help you with something,” Jiang Li said earnestly, her gaze fixed on Zhou Chao. He understood that she was sincere in her offer, and he recognized her as a strong, independent woman who didn’t want to be a mere ornament.
Zhou Chao smiled and ruffled Jiang Li’s hair. He said with a smile, “Sure, when we get back to Jingdu, you can think about it. Today, we’re just here to go shopping, no need to worry about anything else.”
“Okay,” Jiang Li agreed. Holding hands, they walked along the road and arrived at Guojin Center Plaza. However, before they could take a single step on the plaza, someone stopped them.
“Hey, it’s you again, handsome! What a coincidence!” Zhou Chao looked at the woman who spoke, and a hint of surprise crossed his face.
“It is quite a coincidence! What are all of you…” Zhou Chao observed the woman in front of him, who happened to be the same host he had interacted with during the previous quiz, accompanied by her cameraman.
“Hey handsome, is this your girlfriend?” The host turned her gaze towards Jiang Li.
“Yes, that’s right,” Zhou Chao replied calmly.
“Are you interested in participating in our event this time? We still have prizes, just like last time,” the female host said, her voice slightly lowering as she continued.
Zhou Chao glanced at Jiang Li, silently seeking her opinion.
“How about we give it a try?” Zhou Chao saw the hopeful look in Jiang Li’s eyes and quickly understood her desire. This could be a treasure trove of memories in the making.
A faint smile graced Zhou Chao’s face as he nodded at the host. “Sure, but please refrain from asking overly personal questions.”
“Don’t worry; you know we’re a legitimate show. Let’s get started!” The host turned her attention to both of them, pulling out a quiz card from her pocket, and the cameraman behind her activated the camera.
“We have three questions in total. The first question is, how many countries are there in the world?”
Jiang Li was momentarily stunned by the question, looking at Zhou Chao with anticipation. Zhou Chao smiled and answered, “There are a total of 197 countries!”
“Correct! The second question is, what is the largest known animal in the world?”
“It’s the blue whale!” Jiang Li excitedly responded.
“Correct! The final question is, what is something you can’t eat?”
“What can’t you eat? There are so many things you can’t eat, right? Brother Chao, what do you think?” Jiang Li looked at Zhou Chao with a puzzled expression.
Zhou Chao, seeing Jiang Li’s bewildered look, pinched her nose gently and chuckled. “The answer is ‘things. You can’t eat things because it’s a concept.” “Congratulations on answering correctly. Handsome guy, please accept this small gift!” The beautiful host handed them a small bag, and Jiang Li accepted it with a happy expression.
“Well, we should get going!” Zhou Chao waved to the two hosts and led Jiang Li into the shopping mall.
After walking about 20 meters, Jiang Li asked casually, “Brother Chao, did you participate in this kind of event with that girl before?”
“Hahaha, you silly girl! Last time, I did it with my sister Guo Yan when she visited during summer vacation. What’s going on in that little brain of yours?” Zhou Chao playfully said, ruffling Jiang Li’s hair.
“1 knew that, hehe!” Jiang Li had a smile on her face as she continued walking ahead.
“Oh, someone’s getting jealous, huh! Hahaha. Wait for me, Ah Li!” Zhou Chao laughed and hurriedly caught up with her..
