Chapter 329 The feeling of home
As July approached and the weather became hotter, Lu Cheng also reduced his outdoor activities. He rarely went fishing or played golf. He mostly played indoor activities such as swimming and archery.
As time went on into the night, the temperature finally dropped. Lu Cheng walked out of a swimming pool and drove to a community near the outer ring road in Pudong. He parked his car in the underground parking lot, then walked to the door of a room as if he was familiar with the place, took out his key, opened the door, and walked in.
There was a sound of cooking coming from the kitchen, and then a figure poked his head out of the kitchen: "You're back? Wash your hands first, the food will be ready soon."
"April, it's so hot, you don't have to cook, we can just go out to eat."
"How is that the same? I just want you to have a taste of my cooking skills."
This is April’s home, a two-bedroom apartment of 80 square meters. The house is not big, but it is decorated quite warmly and is very clean.
This house was a nearly ready-to-move-in house that April bought at the beginning of last year and was delivered near the end of the year. After being renovated, it was left to air-condition for a few months, and April has only lived in it for less than half a year.
After working hard in Shanghai for so many years, and with the performance improving in the past two years, April has made a lot of money, so he bought this house and that car.
Due to its remote geographical location and the fact that housing prices were lower than they are now, the price when I bought it was 3 yuan per square meter, which was much lower than houses in the city.
After buying the house and the car, April had almost no savings left. Fortunately, his performance this year was good, so he saved some money.
But no matter what, it is quite difficult for April, a girl from another place, to gain a foothold in the Magic City and buy a house and a car.
Even many graduates from prestigious universities may not be able to achieve this level.
It is precisely because of her hard work step by step that April cherishes everything she has now and likes this house that belongs to her more.
Soon, April had prepared five or six dishes and served them one by one.
"Take a look. Dongpo pork, Dongpo fish, and Renshou mutton soup are all what you mentioned before. Of course, my cooking skills are average and I rarely cook. If I don't do well this time, don't be disgusted. I will learn slowly."
Lu Cheng picked up a piece of Dongpo pork with chopsticks, tasted it, and then nodded with satisfaction: "Not bad, although it is not as good as those made by chefs in restaurants, but it has a unique taste. Perhaps it is the attentiveness and the warm taste."
"Only you can talk."
In fact, Lu Cheng had eaten so many delicacies that his taste was somewhat spoiled. But he had to give his wife some respect even if the dishes she cooked were not so delicious.
April tasted it himself, then paused and said: "This is a little salty, and the fish is a little bland. If you don't like it, eat less."
"It's good. I like it."
As he spoke, Lu Cheng began to eat with big mouthfuls. The taste was just a little bit off. It was not terrible, but it was just a little below the standard of a home-cooked dish.
Seeing Lu Cheng eating the food with big mouthfuls and not showing any disgust at all, April felt warm in her heart.
In the small living room, at the small dining table, the two sat opposite each other, eating and chatting about family matters. Everything was exactly the same as the scene that April had once imagined.
Just like what was said in a crosstalk, people live for two things: three meals a day.
After dinner, the two washed the pots and dishes together, and then held hands and took a walk in the community to digest the food, enjoy the evening breeze, and talk about interesting things, just like an ordinary young couple.
At around ten o'clock, they returned to April's warm little home, took a bath, and then began the process that made April love and fear.
Apple's home cannot see the night view of the Huangpu River, but tonight Apple seems to be in the rough sea, like a lonely boat, rolling and moving forward in the waves...
After an unknown amount of time, the rough sea finally calmed down. April's face was still flushed, and she could only speak in a slightly hoarse voice: "Are you still a human being? Who can stand your torment? Fortunately, tomorrow is the weekend, otherwise I would have to ask for leave again."
"Then take a good rest. I will accompany you all day."
"Don't, isn't it enough to be afraid of you? If it doesn't behave itself, I'm really going to fall apart."
"Don't worry, we'll sleep peacefully."
"Do you believe what you said? Don't you even look at where your hands are? Humph~"
"I'm giving you a massage. It's a unique skill that can increase your penis size."
"You're kidding me, I don't believe it..."
It was not until the afternoon of the next day that Lu Cheng left Apple's house and returned to his own home.
After coming to this world, my physical fitness has improved to 26 points, which is an improvement over the previous world.
In the last world, Catherine and Chen Xiaozui, who had been developed and upgraded, could barely cope with the situation. But in this world, it is difficult for them to give full play to their abilities.
If it weren't for the talent of being able to send and receive freely, which allowed Lu Cheng to control it, I'm afraid April would have really fallen apart.
Just when Lu Cheng was thinking about whether he should find an opportunity to visit some universities in Shanghai, he received another message from Zhu Suosuo on his mobile phone.
"Brother Cheng, can you come out and have a drink with me?"
Lu Cheng looked at the time. It was already 5pm. Since he had nothing else to do, he agreed directly: "Okay."
"Then I'll wait for you at the entrance of the Ancient City Park."
When Lu Cheng drove his BMW 7 Series to the entrance of the Ancient City Park, Zhu Suosuo was already waiting there.
Today, Zhu Suosuo is wearing a bright red sleeveless dress with slightly curly hair draped over her shoulders. Standing in the evening sun, she is indeed quite charming.
However, looking at her expression, it was obvious that she had just cried not long ago. Her eyes were slightly red and her makeup was a little smudged.
Lu Cheng drove the car to her side and stopped, then got out: "What happened today? Who made you unhappy?"
"Nothing, I just want to drink and get drunk."
"You are a single girl, and you are getting drunk with a grown man like me. I will not be responsible if anything goes wrong."
"If something goes wrong, I'll take responsibility."
"Come on, get in the car, where do you want to go for a drink tonight?"
"I'll listen to you. Any place is fine."
"Since you're so unhappy, I'll take you to a nice place tonight, so you can have a drink, sing some songs, and vent all your dissatisfaction."
The car drove all the way to Xinghui International, and Zhu Suosuo followed Lu Cheng in. Looking at the luxurious decorations around them, as well as the neatly dressed service staff bowing on both sides of the corridor, Zhu Suosuo quietly followed Lu Cheng and said, "Brother Cheng, I heard that it costs at least tens of thousands of dollars a night here. Is it too much for you?"
"It's nothing. Let's go and eat something before drinking, so as not to harm your body by drinking on an empty stomach."
Xinghui International is a large-scale business KTV where you can eat, play, sing, and have all kinds of entertainment facilities.
The two of them first ordered a table of dishes to fill their stomachs, and then they chose a private room and asked the waiter to serve wine, drinks and fruits.
"Brother Cheng, let me sing a song first."
"Go ahead and sing, let off some steam first, and tell me what's going on."
Zhu Suosuo walked over and ordered two love songs. She first sang "Absolutely Crazy" and then sang "I Want a Home".
"...I want to have a home, a place that doesn't need to be too big. When I'm frightened, I won't be afraid. Who doesn't want a home, but some people don't have it..."
When Lu Cheng saw her singing this song, she cried. He recalled the plot of the original drama and had a vague idea of what happened.
Sure enough, after singing the song, Zhu Suosuo came over, opened a can of beer, drank it all in one gulp, and then said, "Brother Cheng, today my dad found me a stepmother, who is only a few years older than me. My dad doesn't want me anymore. The two of them are planning to settle abroad and may never come back..."
Lu Cheng opened another can of beer and handed it to her, then he opened a can of beer of his own and clinked it with hers: "Everything will pass. Sometimes it's good to be alone. It's free enough."
"Thank you. Come, have a drink..."
