"My colleague asked me to help her take charge of the class. Today is her first anniversary of dating. She will be back before 12 o'clock. Anyway, I have nothing to do."

Zhong Xiaoqin still had a sweet smile on her face, but after she finished the last sentence, her eyes revealed a little bit of depression.

She has a simple personality. Because Gu Yu helped Gu Jia solve the problem of Xu Ziyan going to kindergarten, he had a good impression of Gu Yu.

I also feel that Gu Yu is easy to talk to and doesn't put on airs, so it's much more natural when we get along.

"Xiaoqin, if you are too gentle and considerate of others, you will suffer in the workplace." Gu Yu shook his head gently and reminded her.

"It's really nothing, I don't do this often, she has something to do, she will be back soon.

Mr. Gu, I won't disturb you from enjoying your midnight snack, bye~"

Zhong Xiaoqin handed the takeaway to Gu Yu, smiled and waved, intending to help Gu Yu close the door and leave.

"I think I bought too much. Would you like to eat some together?" Gu Yu suddenly invited Zhong Xiaoqin, leaving her stunned.

First, I felt that my relationship with Gu Yu was not that good. Second, it was almost eleven o'clock, and it was not appropriate for a married woman like me to enter a single man's house.

Third, although I am in charge of others' shifts, it is also working time. If some colleagues know that I come here to deliver food to the owners, will there be gossip if I don't go there for a long time?

But if she directly rejected Gu Yu's invitation, would it make the other party unhappy? Besides, Zhong Xiaoqin thought Gu Yu's character was trustworthy.

After thinking it over, I stood there awkwardly, motionless.

"I will send a message to Mr. Xu. If my colleagues in the property management know that you and I have a good relationship and are friends, your work will be easier in the future.

Also, I did buy too much, it’s shameful to waste it.”

Gu Yu explained with a smile, then turned and walked towards the living room.

It turned out to be for me. Mr. Gu is such a gentle person.

Zhong Xiaoqin understood, a look of emotion appeared on her face, and she was warmed.

Then he smiled cheerfully and walked into Gu Yu's house.

"You have a good appetite. Didn't you have dinner last night?"

Gu Yu was so friendly and amiable that soon Zhong Xiaoqin completely let go of her nervousness and started eating the skewers openly. She then took a big sip of freshly squeezed orange juice.

"Hehe, don't look at me because I'm a girl and not very tall, but I'm actually a foodie, and I only want delicious food! ~

Gu Yu, which barbecue did you order? It tastes really good. "

While Zhong Xiaoqin was talking, she was not idle either. She finished another kebab of lamb.

There is some cumin chili powder on the corners of her mouth, and her smiling eyes are very cute and lively.

The girl was almost thirty years old, but still had no wit. After being coaxed by Gu Yu's words, the relationship between the two became much closer. She changed from addressing Mr. Gu to addressing Gu Yu, and stopped using honorifics.

"Pan Xiaoshao, I'll push it to you online later. Will your husband be unhappy if you don't go home so late?"

Gu Yu was also very casual and took the initiative to guide the topic.

"He's working overtime because of something at his company. Oh, he's an editor at a TV station. The station has recently planned a new program, so he's quite busy and always works overtime until midnight. I'm just waiting for him to get off work and pick me up to go home together."

"It's a good job at a TV station, stable and respectable. Xiaoqin, last time I heard you say that you and Jiajie were classmates, and her child is in kindergarten. You...?" Gu Yu asked curiously,

"Before, I thought I was still young, so I wasn't in a hurry to have a child, but, but, now I have one, I just got pregnant..."

Zhong Xiaoqin was a little embarrassed. She lowered her head slightly and spoke in a much lower voice.

"Congratulations! Sorry, I didn't know. Then you eat these?" Gu Yu showed a blessing expression, then pointed to the barbecue on the table with a little apology on his face.

"It's okay. Eating it occasionally won't have any effect on your body. I'm just pregnant, so I don't need to pay special attention. Besides, this orange juice is very suitable for me. It has a high vitamin C content," Zhong Xiaoqin explained in a hurry to comfort her.

"I'll treat you to more nutritious food next time. Your husband should be very happy, right? If he wasn't busy with work recently, he would definitely want to be with you 24 hours a day," Gu Yu smiled and continued chatting.

"He's... okay. He's a little slow to react. Maybe he's not aware of this yet. Also, he's been focusing on work lately."

Zhong Xiaoqin looked a little reluctant. After years of getting along with her husband Chen Yu, she basically understood his personality.

Their married life is more like living together, without much intimacy and affection, let alone romance.

Apart from work, Chen Yu spends most of his free time raising fish. Sometimes Zhong Xiaoqin can't tell who is his wife, her or the fish. In his heart, who is more important?

Zhong Xiaoqin once had a cat, but because Chen Yu didn't like it and was worried that the cat would hurt his fish, he kept it at his parents' house.

Speaking of Zhong's father and mother, Chen Yu was a little indifferent to them. After three years of marriage, he had visited his father-in-law and mother-in-law only a few times and had no intention of integrating into his wife's family.

After his marriage with Zhong Xiaoqin, Chen Yu seemed rigid, dull, uninteresting, and even selfish.

This can be seen from their daily interactions. They eat breakfast separately, wash and dry clothes separately, etc. The two of them are more like roommates.

Zhong Xiaoqin is not like Gu Jia or Wang Manni. She is just a little woman. Before marriage, she relied on her parents, and after marriage, she wanted to rely on her husband.

She is kind and gentle without any sharp edge, and she never envies other people's material conditions. She only envies and admires other couples' loving relationship and girls being cared for and loved.

"Maybe he'll be fine after this busy period. Pregnancy is a big deal, you have to be careful and take regular pregnancy checkups. If you need to take a leave of absence from work, tell me and I'll talk to Mr. Xu.

If your husband is busy with work, you can tell your parents that they have more free time after retirement.

And when you have the next generation, they will definitely be happy, and their bodies will be healthier."

Gu Yu's gentle attitude and concern made Zhong Xiaoqin feel warm and convinced that Gu Yu was a kind and enthusiastic person. It was great to be friends with him.

Later, Gu Yu changed the topic from living alone and feeling lonely, wanting to have a pet, but he was often on business trips, to what kind of animals Zhong Xiaoqin liked, and whether she had ever had a pet.

Zhong Xiaoqin naturally excitedly talked about her cat Pikachu. Unconsciously, time passed slowly, and the two of them became happier and happier.

"It's already half past twelve. I forgot the time while chatting. Did your husband send you a message? You didn't keep him waiting for too long, did you?" Gu Yu looked at his watch and said in surprise. He took the initiative to mention Chen Yu again.

"Ah? It's so late already?"

Zhong Xiaoqin took out her phone in a panic. She was so excited about the conversation just now, especially when she was telling Gu Yu about her experience of raising Pikachu, that she didn't pay attention to whether there was a message or a call. Her phone was set to vibrate at work.

Gu Yu cleaned up the table, put the leftover bamboo sticks into the bag, looked up at Zhong Xiaoqin, and found that she looked not very good.
