What's your feeling at the beginning? The aloof lawyer is crying!

After Lin Yizhi finished the last mouthful of porridge, she felt her body gradually relax due to the effect of the medicine, and her mood became cheerful. She picked up her phone and typed a line of words: "The porridge is very warm, thank you, good night." After sending it, she put the phone aside, waiting for the other party's reply.

However, after a long while, there was no new notification on the phone screen. Lin Yizhi thought that it was really late now and Gu Jiang should have fallen asleep long ago. She smiled and comforted herself that he would see her message when he woke up tomorrow morning.

Lin Yizhi stood up, walked to the window and closed the curtains, then returned to the bed. She put away the note on the table and pressed it under the pages of the book, as if this would preserve this warm memory. Then, she turned off the small lamp at the bedside, and the whole room fell into a quiet darkness.

Lying on the bed, Lin Yizhizi closed her eyes, and the figure of Gu Jiang and the warm moments they spent together emerged in her mind.

The effect of the medicine and the inner peace gradually brought her body into a comfortable state. Although the outside world was still busy, at this moment, her mind was at peace and tranquility.

As time passed, Lin Yizhi's breathing gradually became even, and she finally fell into a sweet dream. In her dream, she seemed to feel the care and warmth from Gu Jiang again, as if he was by her side, accompanying her through every night.

The next morning, Gu Jiang turned on his phone and saw a message from Lin Yizhi last night: "The porridge is warm, thank you, good night." Seeing this message, Gu Jiang felt mixed emotions. Although he was happy to help her, he also realized that the relationship between the two had changed and could no longer be as close as before.

With this in mind, he decided to respond in a more cautious way. Nevertheless, he was still concerned about Lin Yizhi's physical condition, so he chose a simple and direct reply: "Are you feeling better?"

Soon after the message was sent, I received a reply: "Well, I took the medicine and drank the porridge you cooked. I feel much better. Thank you."

Seeing Lin Yizhi's reply, Gu Jiang felt a little relieved. Although he knew that they could not return to their previous relationship, he still hoped that Lin Yizhi could be healthy and happy. So, he replied: "That's good, take care of yourself, and contact me anytime if you have anything."

After sending the message, Gu Jiang continued to enjoy the tranquility of the small town. He lived in a small town by the sea, where the pace of life was slow and the air was fresh. It was an ideal place for him to escape from the hustle and bustle of the city.

He doesn't have a regular job here and most of the time he's at home doing some freelance work tasks or just simply enjoying life.

Lin Yizhi moved here to pursue Gu Jiang again. She knew that the relationship between the two was no longer the same as before, but she was unwilling to give up any chance to try. She used various clever ways to communicate with Gu Jiang, trying to break the barriers between them.

After receiving Gu Jiang's reply, Lin Yizhi felt a little warm in her heart. She replied: "Thank you, I will take good care of myself. Don't be too tired, remember to eat on time."

Gu Jiang was touched when he saw Lin Yizhi's message. He replied, "Okay, you should get more rest too."

In the following days, Lin Yizhi often sent greetings to Gu Jiang at appropriate times, or invited him to participate in town activities. She did not show excessive enthusiasm, but in a natural way, let Gu Jiang feel her presence.

One day, Lin Yizhi met Gu Jiang at the market in the small town. She happened to be picking fresh seafood to prepare a hearty lunch. Seeing Gu Jiang passing by, she took the initiative to greet him: "Gu Jiang, are you here to buy something too?" Gu Jiang smiled and replied: "Yes, I want to make some simple dishes today."

Lin Yizhi suggested: "If you don't mind, would you like to come to my house for lunch? I've cooked a lot of dishes."

Gu Jiang hesitated for a moment, but considering that refusing might seem impolite, he agreed: "Okay, thank you."

Lin Yizhi invited Gu Jiang to have lunch together. For her, this was not just an ordinary meal, but also an opportunity to show her love.

Although she was the president of a company and was usually busy with work and rarely had the opportunity to cook herself, this time, she was determined to give Gu Jiang a surprise.

That morning, Lin Yizhi got up early, put on an apron, and walked into the kitchen. She first checked the ingredients in the refrigerator, and then listed today's menu based on the recipes she found online: steamed fish, garlic broccoli, tomato scrambled eggs, and a home-cooked tofu dish.

Although Lin Yizhi is not familiar with kitchen work, she has strong will and determination.

She knew that this lunch meant a lot to her, so she did not back down even when faced with unfamiliar kitchen utensils and complicated steps.

Each step seemed a little clumsy, for example, when she was handling the sea bass, the fish was slippery and almost slipped from her hands several times due to her lack of experience. She used more patience than usual and finally completed the work of descaling and removing the internal organs, although she also had some small scars on her hands.

When preparing broccoli with garlic, she almost burned the minced garlic due to her lack of skill in controlling the heat. Fortunately, she adjusted the heat in time to avoid a small crisis. During the frying process, oil splashed everywhere and she almost burned her hands several times, but she persisted and finally fried a dish of broccoli with good color, aroma and taste.

When making scrambled eggs with tomatoes, she seemed a little clumsy in beating the eggs, but fortunately, she followed the instructions in the tutorial and carefully stir-fried them, making the eggs neither too old nor too raw, and matching the tomatoes just right. Although she almost scrambled the eggs several times during the process, she succeeded in making a delicious dish with her determined eyes and spirit of continuous experimentation.

Homemade tofu is a test of patience. Lin Yizhi carefully sliced ​​the tofu and fried it in hot oil. The oil temperature was not controlled accurately, causing a few slices of tofu to be slightly burnt, but this did not dampen her enthusiasm. She continued to fry the remaining tofu, then added the sauce and simmered it slowly until the tofu completely absorbed the flavor of the sauce.

Although the process was challenging, Lin Yizhi enjoyed it because she knew that these small achievements were the result of her hard work in the relationship.

When Gu Jiang saw all this, his heart was filled with gratitude and warmth. He felt that Lin Yizhi made every meal with her heart. Although she was not good at cooking, her heart was enough to make up for her lack of skills. (End of this chapter)
