Li Xiwu did not return to Lake Lu tonight. She went to the market alone and bought her favorite dishes. Then she drove back to the small courtyard in the suburbs. She turned on the heater, changed out of her jacket, put on an apron, pulled her hair up, and began to busy herself with dinner.
She added pure milk to the hotpot base and added her favorite dishes. A spicy hotpot that looked, smelled, and tasted good was served. Other than the hot Malatang in front of her, the surrounding atmosphere was quiet and a little lonely.
She poured herself a cup of peach blossom wine. It was fragrant and mellow. Although the aftertaste was endless, she felt that something was missing, so she changed the peach blossom wine to throat-burning white wine. Only then was she satisfied.
Pei Jingzhou called.
Li Xiwu picked it up. "Fourth Brother."
Pei Jingzhou did not ask where she was or what she was doing. He only asked, "Are you still going home tonight?"
