Back to high school, Peking University is beckoning me

Chapter 158 "Exploiting Employees"

Ruan Fuxi stood quietly not far behind Lu Youning, his eyes gently falling on her busy back.

He seemed to see their happy future, with him and her there for three meals a day, all year round.

After a while, the kitchen was filled with the aroma of food.

"It smells so good." Ruan Fuxi couldn't help but exclaim.

"Wait a little longer, the ribs will become softer and more flavorful if stewed a little longer, and they will taste better."

Ruan Fuxi nodded gently, his eyes full of expectation and tenderness.

He put his arm around Lu Youning's slender waist from behind, looked at the plum ribs in the pot, which were gradually becoming richer in color, and said:

"I still remember the first time I had your plum pork ribs in my freshman year of high school. It was amazing. At that time, I wondered if I would ever be able to eat this dish again."

"So, you have been thinking about this dish I made since then." Lu Youning joked, and shook Ruan Fuxi's hand with a little force.

Ruan Fuxi gently rested his chin on Lu Youning's shoulder, his warm breath whispering in her ear. With a familiar smile, he said, "It's not just this dish I've been thinking about. From that moment on, I've also been thinking about the person who made it."

Lu Youning's tone was tinged with laughter, "Then you should eat more later."

Ruan Fuxi replied softly, "As long as it's made by you, I will eat it all."

Soon, the plum pork ribs were finally done.

Lu Youning put it on a plate, and together with Ruan Fuxi, brought the other prepared dishes to the table.

Lu Youning picked up a piece of pork ribs and placed it in Ruan Fuxi's bowl, saying softly, "Try it quickly and see if it tastes the same as it did back then."

Ruan Fuxi couldn't wait to pick up the ribs and put them in his mouth. "Hmm, it still tastes the same. Very delicious."

Lu Youning looked at him with a happy smile on her face, "As long as you like it, eat quickly, there are other dishes."

"Okay, Ningning, eat too." He also picked up a piece of pork ribs for Lu Youning.

The two began to enjoy this loving dinner in a warm atmosphere, and their eyes met each other's, flowing with endless tenderness and attachment.

Finally, Ruan Fuxi bought all the dishes, then took the initiative to clean up the dishes and go into the kitchen to wash them.

Lu Youning lazily leaned back on the sofa and didn't stop him. She thought it was fine for the two of them to share the housework. She cooked and he washed the dishes. It was fair.

Ruan Fuxi finished washing the dishes and came over to sit next to her, asking, "Do you want to go for a walk together?"

Lu Youning tilted his head slightly and thought for a moment, then nodded happily: "Okay, going out for a walk is just the right way to help digest the food." So, the two of them got up, tidied their clothes, and walked out of the house hand in hand.

The evening breeze blows gently, bringing a hint of coolness.

They strolled along the garden path in the community. The flowers and plants on the roadside swayed gracefully in the afterglow, which was very beautiful.

Ruan Fuxi held Lu Youning's hand tightly, shaking it gently from time to time. He turned his head to look at Lu Youning and said, "There are koi fish in the lotus pond over there. Do you want to go and take a look?"

Lu Youning's eyes lit up, "Okay, let's go and take a look." She pulled him and walked towards the pond.

When I came to the pond, I saw a group of colorful koi swimming slowly in the water, some were red like fire, some were white like snow, and some had golden stripes.

Sometimes they shuttle under the lotus leaves, and sometimes they jump out of the water to compete for food, creating layers of ripples.

Lu Youning was so fascinated by it that she couldn't help but squat down and said, "It's so round and cute."

"Someone must be feeding it regularly." Ruan Fuxi said.

Lu Youning looked for a while, and then the two of them walked forward slowly, unknowingly walking around the pond.

"Are you still shopping?" Ruan Fuxi asked the girl next to him.

Lu Youning shook her head, "No, let's go back."

Back at the rental apartment, Lu Youning broke out in a thin layer of sweat. "I feel sticky. I'm going to go wash up."

"Okay, go ahead." Ruan Fuxi responded casually.

Lu Youning first went to the balcony to take down the clothes. Fortunately, the clothes were dry. Then she went into the bathroom.

The sound of water splashing came from the bathroom. Ruan Fuxi sat lazily on the sofa, unconsciously pressing the remote control in his hand, but his eyes glanced towards the bathroom from time to time.

Somehow, he felt an inexplicable heat surge in his body. It felt like a small flame was quietly burning in his heart, making him feel a little uneasy.

He simply got up and went into the kitchen, took a bottle of mineral water from the refrigerator and started drinking it. The cool water slid down his throat, dispelling the dryness in his body bit by bit.

After a long while, the bathroom door creaked open softly, and Ruan Fuxi's attention was instantly drawn there.

Lu Youning walked out of the bathroom, her wet hair draped over her shoulders. A few strands of wet hair stuck tightly to her fair neck. Water droplets slowly slid down her hair and finally disappeared into the collar of her clothes.

There was a slight blush on her face, like peach blossoms blooming in spring, fresh and beautiful.

She gently rubbed her hair with a towel while walking towards the living room, her voice soft: "Xixi, do you have a hair dryer?"

Ruan Fuxi's Adam's apple rolled slightly, he swallowed, stood up and said, "Yes, I'll get it for you."

Not long after, he took the hair dryer from the room, walked quickly to the socket in the corner of the living room, plugged it in, and then waved to Lu Youning with a smile, "Ningning, come here, I'll help you blow dry your hair."

"Oh, here you come!" Lu Youning walked over obediently. It was great to have someone help blow dry her hair!

Her hair has grown long since she graduated from high school, and it is very thick. It takes a long time to wash and blow-dry her hair.

The warm wind blew slowly, and Ruan Fuxi's fingers gently shuttled through Lu Youning's black hair. His movements were gentle and delicate, as if he was treating a rare treasure.

Lu Youning closed her eyes slightly, her face full of relaxation and comfort, enjoying this moment of tranquility and comfort.

Ruan Fuxi concentrated on adjusting the angle of the hair dryer, and occasionally gently lifted the inner layer of hair with her hands to ensure that every strand was dried evenly.

"Your hair is so black and thick, it looks really nice." Ruan Fuxi said softly.

Lu Youning smiled faintly, "Well, it's just more troublesome to take care of, but I still like long hair."

After blow-drying my hair for about ten minutes, it was finally dry.

Lu Youning stretched out her hand and gently stroked the long hair that was as soft and shiny as silk, her face filled with satisfaction and comfort.

She tilted her head slightly, took the initiative to move closer to Ruan Fuxi, and gently kissed the corner of his mouth. Then, with her eyes curved, she said sweetly, "Thank you, Xixi."

Ruan Fuxi raised the corner of his mouth, raised his eyebrows slightly, and there was a hint of cunning and amusement in his eyes, "Is this a reward? You are exploiting your employees. This little bit of sweetness is not enough. I want more."

As he spoke, he put his arms around Lu Youning's waist and pretended to kiss her.

Lu Youning's cheeks flushed. She pushed Ruan Fuxi coquettishly and said, "No more, go take a shower."

Ruan Fuxi quickly kissed her on the cheek, let go of her hand, and turned to walk towards the bathroom.

Lu Youning looked at Ruan Fuxi's departing back, raised her hand and gently stroked the cheek that was kissed, with a shy and sweet smile on the corner of her mouth.

She began to tidy up the living room, picked up and threw away the few strands of hair that had fallen off when she was blow-drying her hair, and put the hair dryer back in the room.

Then I sat on the sofa, turned on Mango Channel and started watching "Happy Camp".

"Ningning, help me get some clothes. They're in the closet in the room." Ruan Fuxi's voice came from the bathroom.

When Lu Youning heard Ruan Fuxi's call, she responded, got up and walked towards the bedroom.

She opened the closet and saw the clothes inside were neatly folded. They were all outerwear.

Then, when he opened the drawer, he saw two sets of pajamas lying inside, and a few pairs of underwear in the corner.

She picked up a set of pajamas and was hesitating whether to take her underwear when Ruan Fuxi's voice came again.
