It was eleven o’clock at night before Hai Tong closed the shop and rode home on her electric bike.
“Hai Tong, be careful on the road.”
The owner of the shop next door continued to admonish her kindly.
Hai Tong smiled and said, “I will.”
The owner’s wife looked at the distant Hai Tong and said, “She is a self-reliant child, and her life is really pitiful, for she has fallen prey to a cla*s of blood-sucking and extreme relatives.
“Just wait and see, Hai Tong is blessed with great fortune, her fortune is behind her, she still has a rich life, a rich life of bitterness before sweetness, those who bullied her can’t even afford to lick her toes in the future.”
The boss’s wife glanced at her husband and said with a grimace, “You’re so good at reading fortunes, why don’t you go to the bottom of the flyover and make money? Why don’t you show your wife when I’m going to make a fortune?”
“Hurry up, move your things in, close the door and wash up.”
The boss’s wife did not believe that her husband had learned to read fortunes by reading a few fortune telling books.
It was already 11:30 at night when Hai Tong arrived home. When she opened the door and entered the house, she saw that it was dark inside and knew that Zhan Yin had not returned yet, so she did not unlock the door.
The house is so big, only the couple lives there, usually everyone goes to work, this house is always cold and clear.
Hai Tong was a bit hungry, so she went into the kitchen, opened the fridge and looked at the ingredients inside. Finally, she took an egg, two green onions and a small handful of cilantro, and prepared to cook a bowl of noodles for dinner.
There was a rattle on the lock of the door outside and she came out of the kitchen to see Zhan Yin pushing the door in.
“Mr. War, you’re back.”
War Yin turned his head to look at her and gave a hmph as he closed and unlocked the door before asking her as he walked away, “You’ve just come back too?”
“Xiaojun had something to do and I’m guarding the shop tonight, I don’t usually get home until 11:30 late at night. I’m going to cook a bowl of noodles for a midnight snack, do you want one?”
War Yin shook his head, “Thanks, no need.”
He was not hungry at all as he had to eat and drink as he was entertaining tonight.
He didn’t want a snack, so Hai Tong cooked herself a bowl of noodles. When she came out with the noodles, she saw Zhan Yin sitting on the sofa, neither turning on the TV nor looking at his mobile phone, just sitting quietly, she thought he had something on his mind and asked with concern, “Mr. Zhan has something on his mind?”
“No.”
War Yin took out his mobile phone and put it on the coffee table, then got up and took off his suit jacket, then looked at Hai Tong.
Hai Tong still had a few eyes, and after putting down the bowl, she went up to him, helped him take off his suit jacket, and asked him with a smile, “Do you want to untie your tie? Shall I help you?”
She was quite happy to be of service to a handsome man.
War Yin didn’t say anything, sort of acquiescing.
So, Hai Tong thoughtfully helped him untie his tie and after looking at it, she said, “This tie of yours looks familiar to me, is it the one I bought for you?”
War Yin sighed in his heart: it had been a whole day, and only now did he see it.
On his face, he remained indifferent, nodding his head slightly.
Hai Tong was quite surprised, she thought the clothes and tie she bought, he would not wear it, but did not expect to wear it so quickly.
“Shall I wash it for you?”
“No, you take it for me and hang it up, I’ll take it to the wash later.”
The couple lived in rooms with washing machines, each washing their own clothes.
Hai Tong complied and helped him take his coat to hang it up, then returned to the dining table and sat down, taking out her phone, ready to brush up on the news buzz while she ate her noodles.
“Is my fortune cookie ready?”
War Yin suddenly asked.
