After breakfast, Bai Mengmeng quickly put on a thick cotton coat, hat, and gloves, fully armed. She picked up a broom and shovel and headed towards the yard with great enthusiasm, ready to face the battle against the snow. Lu Ze followed closely behind, joining in the snow-clearing work. Working together, they gradually cleared the snow from the yard, their clothes soaked with sweat, but they didn't care, their faces beaming with the joy of their labor.

"This work is so tiring!" Bai Mengmeng slumped onto the sofa, propping her head up with her hand and staring blankly ahead, as if all her strength had been drained away. After a while, she rubbed her stomach: "I just finished eating, and it's already growling loudly. What are you going to make for me for lunch?"

Lu Ze had just stepped outside and hadn't even had time to take off his clothes when he was bombarded with a barrage of questions from Bai Mengmeng. He smiled helplessly and said, "I'll make whatever you want to eat." With that, he began to take off his clothes.

Bai Meng thought for a moment, then her eyes lit up: "How about we eat the beef noodles you made for me before? They taste so good!" As she spoke, she couldn't help but lick her lips, as if she could already imagine the delicious beef noodles.

Lu Ze nodded in agreement. But then he suddenly remembered something and said to Bai Mengmeng, "Okay, but you need to change your clothes first, otherwise you'll catch a cold later."

Bai Mengmeng nodded obediently, then got up and went to the bedroom to change her clothes. She opened the wardrobe, picked out a loose-fitting nightgown, put it on, and then took out her game console, sitting in the living room to start playing.

Lu Ze watched her from the side and said with a smile, "You've really let yourself go. You're completely different when you're at work and when you're not."

Upon hearing this, Bai Mengmeng pouted and said discontentedly, "Mind your own business! Hurry up and make me something delicious, it's almost noon."

Lu Ze found her coquettish manner quite adorable. He chuckled and teased, "If you keep acting like that, you're breaking the rules!"

Bai Mengmeng rolled her eyes at him, thinking, "Why didn't I realize he was being so unreasonable before?" However, perhaps because she had just realized that she had gone a bit too far, Bai Mengmeng started glancing at Lu Ze's back as he cooked from time to time, her eyes revealing a hint of concern.

Although making beef noodles seems simple, stewing the beef takes a long time. After Lu Ze prepared all the ingredients, he started working on it. Bai Mengmeng was having a great time playing games. When she turned around, Lu Ze was no longer in the kitchen. Bai Mengmeng looked around. How could he have disappeared in such a short time? She put down her game console and started looking for him.

"Lu Ze!" Bai Mengmeng called out as she searched, her voice echoing throughout the house. Finally, she found Lu Ze in the study, where he was sitting in front of the computer, busy processing documents.

"What are you doing?" Bai Mengmeng asked, somewhat displeased.

"There's something urgent I need to take care of," Lu Ze replied without looking up.

"But you promised me you'd spend time with me today!" Bai Mengmeng pouted, looking aggrieved.

"I'm sorry, Mengmeng, this job is really important, and I have to finish it as soon as possible," Lu Ze said apologetically, while continuing to type on the keyboard.

Bai Mengmeng sighed helplessly and silently turned to leave the study. She returned to the living room and continued playing her game, but her mood was no longer as cheerful as before.

After a while, Lu Ze finally finished his work. He walked out of the study and saw Bai Mengmeng playing games in the living room, so he walked over and sat down next to her.

"Mengmeng, I'm sorry to have kept you waiting for so long." Lu Ze gently stroked Bai Mengmeng's hair.

"Hmph, all you care about is work, you don't even talk to me." Bai Mengmeng turned her head away, pretending to be angry.

"Don't be angry, I'm here now." Lu Ze smiled and hugged Bai Mengmeng. "Let's play together."

So the two started playing games together, and Lu Ze gradually forgot the pressure of work and enjoyed the happy time with Bai Mengmeng.

Lu Ze quickly fled the battlefield: "Mengmeng, you play by yourself first. Dinner will be ready soon. I'll call you later." After saying that, he turned around and went back to the kitchen.

As Lu Ze cooked, he wondered if he was being too concerned about Mengmeng's opinion of him. He'd spent the entire day wanting to ask her if she still had any complaints about him, but he didn't know how to bring it up. However, judging from Mengmeng's behavior today, she didn't seem to care much about what happened yesterday. Perhaps he shouldn't keep dwelling on this; why add to her distress? Lu Ze kept asking himself this question and eventually convinced himself.

The food was ready quickly. Lu Ze came out of the kitchen and called to Bai Mengmeng, "Mengmeng, time to eat! Stop playing!" For some reason, everything Bai Mengmeng did seemed especially adorable today.

Bai Mengmeng felt uneasy under Lu Ze's unwavering gaze and couldn't help but ask, "Is there something on my face that you're staring at like this, or are you bewitched by my beauty?"

Lu Ze replied bluntly, "That's right, I was bewitched by your beauty."

Bai Mengmeng got goosebumps all over after hearing his words, and said coquettishly, "Stop being so cheeky."

Lu Ze smiled somewhat embarrassedly.

Lu Ze looked at Bai Mengmeng and asked, "How is it? Is it delicious?" Bai Mengmeng gave a thumbs-up and praised, "Your cooking is absolutely delicious!" She said with a satisfied smile. However, she then sighed, "It's a pity I don't have your cooking skills." Hearing this, Lu Ze quickly comforted her, saying, "I'm enough for you. Are you worried about going hungry?" His eyes were full of tenderness and care.

Bai Mengmeng explained, "That's not what I meant. Actually, I really want to cook for you, but I can only make some simple boiled food. Can that be considered cooking?" Lu Ze smiled indulgently and replied, "I'll like whatever you make."

Bai Mengmeng suddenly realized, "Luckily, no one else is here right now, otherwise the stench of our romance would be unbearable for others, wouldn't it?" Lu Ze teased, "Then they can only blame themselves for not having a girlfriend as beautiful as you." The two chatted back and forth, and a sweet atmosphere filled the air.

After a warm conversation, they finally finished lunch. Lu Ze got up to get back to work, leaving Bai Mengmeng alone in the room. Bai Mengmeng lay in bed, tossing and turning, unable to fall asleep. Although she knew there was still a lot of work to do, she felt an overwhelming urge to go to work.
