Chapter 151 Chapter 167 Chapter Eight Nine Warm Heart
After Yang Hao and Zhou Manyuan were busy in the kitchen for a while, they finally cooked all the dishes and put them on a table full of dishes.
"Wow, there are so many dishes, the two of us, I'm afraid we won't be able to finish them until we die..."
Zhou Manyuan took off her apron and said with a smile: "Let's eat slowly, and if we can't finish eating, we can put it in the refrigerator, so it won't be wasted."
Yang Hao turned his head after looking at a large table of dishes on the table, but was suddenly taken aback.
Zhou Manyuan had been wearing a wide apron just now, Yang Hao didn't feel it yet, but now Zhou Manyuan took off her apron, revealing her original attire, the upper body is just a loose short-sleeved T-shirt, and the lower body is a pair of black shorts , very pure and beautiful.
Zhou Manyuan dressed up on purpose today, although she only wore light makeup, and her clothes were still very simple.
She also hesitated for a long time, but just made a decision.
Today is her birthday, and it is also an opportunity she deliberately created. She did not let anyone accompany her in her life. She only invited Yang Hao alone, and the two of them were alone. She should not hesitate any longer. She wanted to do something bold today. Something she never dared to do before.
Of course, if Zhou Manyuan was sober, she would definitely not be so courageous, so she prepared wine, which strengthened her courage, and she would not wait any longer. The long wait had already filled her with pain, and she In any case, there must be a result today.
Zhou Manyuan brought out a plastic bag and took out a bottle of white wine from the middle. Yang Hao glanced at it, and saw that there was more than one bottle in the pocket, and couldn't help laughing: "You treat Brother Yang as a wine jar, so prepare so much white wine... "
Zhou Manyuan put two glasses in front of the two, opened them and poured one for Yang Hao, then put the whole bottle of white wine in front of Yang Hao, said with a smile: "This is prepared for you, I can't drink it like this Spicy white wine, I'll drink some red wine..."
Yang Hao watched Zhou Manyuan open another bottle of red wine by himself, and couldn't help but smiled wryly: "So much wine, is it the rhythm of drinking to death today?"
Zhou Manyuan poured red wine for herself, then raised her glass: "We won't go home until we're drunk today!"
Yang Hao raised his glass, touched Zhou Manyuan, and said sincerely, "Happy birthday."
"Thank you, Brother Yang, for celebrating my birthday with me."
Zhou Manyuan raised her glass and drank half a glass of red wine in one go. Two red clouds appeared on her face. Yang Hao hurriedly dissuaded her: "Drink slowly, don't start eating, you Just passed out."
Zhou Manyuan smiled and said: "I just drank a lot at the first time, and I will be free afterwards. I don't drink as well as Brother Yang..."
Yang Hao smiled and nodded: "Well, whatever you want is fine, come, let me try your craft."
Yang Hao picked up the chopsticks, picked up a piece of uterine chicken and put it in his mouth to bite. Zhou Manyuan looked at Yang Hao nervously, lest Yang Hao say it was not delicious.
"Well, it's good, it's really good, it's so delicious!"
Yang Hao swallowed the diced chicken, and praised without hesitation: "Your craftsmanship is really good. If you eat such delicious food, you have to eat at least two bowls of rice for the original one bowl of rice..."
Zhou Manyuan stared at Yang Hao's face, and said happily: "If brother Yang likes to eat, I can make it for you often in the future."
The smile on Yang Hao's face was unrecognizable, and then he said happily: "Okay, I will come to play Qiufeng if I have a chance in the future!"
Zhou Manyuan picked up a chicken leg for Yang Hao with chopsticks: "Come on, try this chicken leg, how about it?"
"Chicken legs, it must be delicious. I'm in the company, and I don't know how many times I have eaten the chicken legs you brought." Yang Hao replied with a smile. When Yang Hao was still in the first security team, Zhou Manyuan often brought delicious food to Yang Hao. Yes, among them chicken legs and pig's trotters are the most frequently used, and the taste is quite delicious. Zhou Manyuan's cooking skills are not amazing. I don't know that this made the security department's eyes turn red with envy... …
The two chatted while eating, Yang Hao drank white wine, Zhou Manyuan drank red wine.
Yang Hao has a good capacity for alcohol, and the taste of these dishes is indeed very good, Yang Hao has already finished a bottle of white wine without knowing it, Zhou Manyuan immediately took out another bottle, Yang Hao stopped and said: "It's almost done, don't drink it It's..."
However, Zhou Manyuan opened the second bottle of liquor without hesitation, and put it in front of Yang Hao: "Brother Yang, drink, we said that we will never get drunk or return..."
Yang Hao smiled wryly: "If you drink any more, you'll be really drunk, and then you won't be able to return home."
"I can't go back, just sleep here, Brother Yang, you must have a drink with me to be happy today, I still have a lot to say, and I want to chat with you." Zhou Manyuan persisted, and directly picked up the bottle .
Yang Hao was worried that if he drank any more, something would happen, so he insisted on not drinking. After seeing that the time was almost up, he stood up: "I'm full, and I'm almost done drinking. I'll go first."
Zhou Manyuan grabbed Yang Hao's hand and said tremblingly, "Brother Yang, I like you."
Yang Hao's mind faltered for a while. Zhou Manyuan hadn't looked for Yang Hao these days. Yang Hao thought that Zhou Manyuan had given up. Who knew that she hadn't given up at all. She had been waiting for this day all along?
Yang Hao said in a low voice: "Man Yuan, you don't need to be like this..."
"No, don't say anything." Zhou Manyuan suddenly called out: "Since you can accept sister Yunzhu, why don't you accept me? Am I that bad? I don't want anything, I just want you. As long as I can be by your side, that's enough, don't you even want to give me this?"
Yang Hao felt bitter in his heart, doesn't he like Zhou Manyuan?
That is impossible.
If she didn't like Zhou Manyuan, she wouldn't do so many things, at least a little bit, because he cared, so he kept restraining himself hard, even if he hurt Zhou Manyuan, he would not hesitate to do it, so that Zhou Manyuan could have a better future , because with him, he can't give her a future.
When Zhou Manyuan heard that Yang Hao was silent, she suddenly hugged Yang Hao...
When everything returned to calm, Yang Hao's originally rather soft eyes became more gentle.
Yang Hao stood up, walked to the balcony, sat on a chair, lit a cigarette, and fell into deep thought while looking at the lights of the city below.
Thinking about his experience in the past few months, Yang Hao couldn't help but smile bitterly.
Wei Yunzhu worships the strong, and if he can give her enough protection, she will get used to her position and will not put any pressure on herself. She even said that she is in awe of herself.
Jiang Manqing's emotional emptiness, coupled with the worries of her career failure, her own appearance just filled her void. She needs a man to rely on, but this man cannot be exposed.
Zhou Manyuan was different from them.
Zhou Manyuan did not have their strong social status. Wei Yunzhu was the president of the Green Bamboo Association, and Jiang Manqing and Jiang Manqing were both black and white. Both were high-level people. Zhou Manyuan was just an ordinary office worker who had just entered society for two years. Seniority, even without any reliance, she can make up her mind, knowing that she has a wife and it is absolutely impossible to get a divorce, but she is still willing to fly to the fire. Compared with this friendship, it is purer and makes Yang Hao didn't know how to face such sincere feelings...
For Wei Yunzhu, he only needs to give them a certain amount of help, give them a certain sense of security, and listen to their aspirations, and they will be satisfied. Yang Hao himself will not feel guilty, because they are all rational women. Knowing what they want, they will not ask for more things, and at the same time they have their own lives.
Wei Yunzhu has a green bamboo club to take care of, and Jiang Manqing is not to mention, he is very busy every day, and feelings are not necessary for them in life, of course it is better to have them, and they can live without them. , but they will not wrap around themselves like dodders. They will hold themselves and keep a sufficient distance.
But Zhou Manyuan is completely different from them. Compared with them, Zhou Manyuan is too simple. Her love is pure and sincere, and it is the kind of love that does not mix any magazines. This kind of love puts pressure on Yang Haoqiu. Huge, this is why Yang Hao has been afraid to accept it, because he simply can't give enough love back to Zhou Ming.
For Zhou Manyuan, a pure woman, he couldn't help feeling guilty.
Yang Hao looked back at the room, Zhou Manyuan was sleeping extremely peacefully like a baby.
Taking a deep puff of the cigarette, Yang Hao stubbed out the cigarette and walked back into the house. No matter what, the only thing he can do now is to treat Zhou Manyuan well.
...
Zhou Manyuan slept soundly this time. She used to live alone in the house, and she would wake up in the middle of the night if there was any disturbance or noise, but when she woke up today, it was already half past seven in the morning. , I slept very soundly.
She has not felt this kind of feeling for a long time. She lives a cautious life in the city and faces all kinds of harassment. She is a woman without any support, and she is always extremely lonely in her heart. Even at home, sleeping alone on the bed, her heart is always uneasy. If there is any slight noise, she will wake up, and even think wildly, is there a thief in the house?
Zhou Manyuan was even more afraid when there was thunder, lightning, and storm. She always curled up in bed alone, bearing the helplessness and loneliness in her heart, and she couldn't tell anyone about this feeling, especially her own. Parents tell.
Zhou Manyuan opened her eyes, looked at the roof, and looked around the room slowly. Yang Hao didn't have any clothes on, and she couldn't help feeling panicked. Did he already leave?
Zhou Manyuan suddenly felt a little sad, tears almost fell down, she raised her head, blinked quickly, to keep the tears from falling down.
Zhou Manyuan, you chose this path yourself, you can't ask for too much!
You have to be strong!
You can't blame him, he also has difficulties, this is the path you choose, even if you are kneeling, you have to go on!
Zhou Manyuan cheered herself up in her heart over and over again, and told herself not to cry over and over again, but the tears still flowed out of her eyes silently like a flood that couldn't close the gate, and slid down her cheeks downward. Like pearls one by one.
do not Cry!
You have to be good, don't cry!
Zhou Manyuan reached out and rubbed her eyes fiercely, wiped away the tears on her face, and lay down powerlessly again, her mind was in chaos. At this moment, a scent came over, and at the same time, there was a shovel hitting the pot A crisp sound came from the kitchen.
Zhou Manyuan's originally dazed eyes suddenly filled with brilliance. She sat up from the bed as if a spring had been installed, rushed out of the bedroom, and ran to the kitchen. Before rushing out of the bedroom, she didn't forget to look at Take a few glances at yourself to make sure you don't see that you just cried before you stop.
Zhou Manyuan cautiously appeared at the door of the kitchen, and looked into the kitchen secretly, only to see Yang Hao wearing an apron, frying eggs in a pan. The fried eggs were golden and emitting a tempting aroma. In the rice cooker, a faint white gas drifted away, carrying a strong rice fragrance, obviously it was gruel.
Yang Hao didn't come home!
He is making breakfast!
Zhou Manyuan suddenly felt an unrealistic feeling in her heart, and she was surrounded by a strong sense of happiness. She didn't make a sound, but just quietly looked at Yang Hao's back, as if she was fascinated.
Yang Hao carefully put a few fried eggs into the plate, turned his head and said with a smile: "Hurry up and wash up, get ready for breakfast."
Zhou Manyuan suddenly came back to her senses: "How do you know I'm looking at you?"
"Of course, I've known it since you woke up." Yang Hao smiled, and there was a kind of intimacy and easy-going in his words that he had never seen before: "I didn't bother to go down to buy breakfast, so I boiled some porridge, and then made some fried rice. Eggs, just make do with it."
Zhou Manyuan stretched out her nose and sniffed, and said with a happy smile, "It smells so good!"
Yang Hao took out two bowls, filled two bowls of porridge, and said with a smile, "Go wash up!"
Zhou Manyuan said kindly, then turned and ran to the bathroom, but the moment she turned around, tears welled up in her eyes again, but her face was full of unconcealable smiles.
After Zhou Manyuan washed up, she returned to the dining table. Yang Hao had already set the table and chopsticks, and said with a smile, "Eat, try how my fried eggs are made."
Zhou Manyuan sat down as promised, picked up the chopsticks, picked up a fried egg, and took a light bite.
Golden fried eggs with a little green onion on top, full of aroma, Zhou Manyuan chewed slowly, raised her head after a while, and showed a bright smile to Yang Hao: "It's delicious."
Yang Hao smiled and said, "It's delicious, I can make more for you in the future."
Zhou Manyuan was slightly taken aback, didn't she say this to him yesterday, why did he say it to herself now...
Yang Hao picked up a fried egg, bit it big, took a few bites, seemed to remember something, raised his head and said, "By the way, Man Yuan, don't go to work today, I've already asked you for a day off..."
Zhou Manyuan's heart warmed up, remembering that he stayed at her home for the night, this matter was stuck in her throat, and finally she couldn't help asking: "You didn't go back yesterday, is there something wrong, your wife..."
Yang Hao was stunned for a moment, and then smiled softly: "It's okay, you don't need to worry about this matter, just take a good rest today, I also asked for leave, to accompany you for a day..."
Zhou Manyuan was stunned: "You also asked for leave?"
Yang Hao said with a smile: "Yes, I am the leader. It doesn't matter if I don't go. Zhao Daniu is quite capable. He helped me deal with many things. When I went, I was actually playing games in the office..."
Zhou Manyuan bit her lip, stirred the porridge with her chopsticks a few times, and raised her head as if she had made up her mind after a while: "You'd better go to work."
Yang Hao was stunned for a moment, then looked up at Zhou Manyuan in astonishment: "Manyuan, don't you want me to be here with you?"
Zhou Manyuan smiled, but her face was very calm: "Brother Yang, I'm fine, of course I hope you will be by my side all the time, but I know it's impossible, so we'll be fine as usual , you don't need to deliberately take time to accompany me, as long as you have me in your heart, that's enough..."
Yang Hao was silent for a moment, then suddenly said with a smile: "You are such a fool."
Zhou Manyuan's eyes are bright: "I am a fool, but I am a happy and happy fool."
Yang Hao shook his head, stared at Zhou Manyuan's bright eyes and said seriously: "Manyuan, I will make you happy, and I will never make you sad."
Zhou Manyuan nodded, with unconcealable joy and happiness on her face.
She knew that although the man in front of her usually looked lazy and unruly, what he said always meant what he said. If he said that he would make herself happy and make herself happy, then she would definitely be happy!
After the two finished their breakfast, Yang Hao took the initiative to stand up to wash the dishes, but Zhou Manyuan pressed Yang Hao's hand holding the plate: "I'll do the washing."
Yang Hao said with a smile: "It's not a big deal."
"No!" Zhou Manyuan did not let go of her hand, but insisted very seriously: "You cook the breakfast, and I will wash the dishes. Don't spoil me too much..."
Yang Hao withdrew his hand with a wry smile, and said helplessly: "Okay, okay, then you wash, I'll chat with you next to you..."
Zhou Manyuan smiled and said happily, "Okay."
Zhou Manyuan tied up her apron and began to wash the dishes, while Yang Hao leaned against the door and took out a cigarette. He just put it in his mouth and was about to light it, but suddenly remembered Zhou Manyuan, and put the lighter in his pocket. He put the smoke under his nose and smelled it.
Zhou Manyuan turned her head, just in time to see Yang Hao's movements, and said with a smile: "You smoke, although I don't smoke, I don't dislike cigarettes, and...the faint smell of tobacco on your body smells very good of……"
Yang Hao chuckled: "Is that the so-called masculinity?"
Since Zhou Manyuan said that he doesn't dislike smoking, Yang Hao no longer taboos, lit the cigarette, took a deep breath, through the faint smoke, looking at the back of Zhou Manyuan standing on the stove, Yang Hao looked a little confused.
Isn't this the life you want?
The husband sings and the wife follows, talking and laughing, the family is harmonious...
Thinking of this, Yang Hao couldn't help but think of Qiu Yunzhen again. I have to say that Qiu Yunzhen and Zhou Manyuan are two completely different extremes. Although the relationship between himself and Qiu Yunzhen has improved a lot, he wants to achieve the same level as he is now. Such a situation, I don't know how long it will take, no, to be precise, I don't know if there is such a chance...
If you say that you and Qiu Yunzhen have different personalities, it would be better if you were an ordinary person. If you don’t get along, you can get a divorce at most, but like your family, your grandfather, if you talk about divorce, it is estimated that the most direct action of Mr. Qiu is to interrupt. His leg, and then throw it back into the sea...
It is precisely because of this reason that both Yang Hao and Qiu Yunzhen knew that this marriage was impossible to break up, so Qiu Yunzhen chose the current way of life.
"What are you thinking?"
Before she knew it, Zhou Manyuan had already washed the dishes, looking at Yang Hao who was leaning against the door in a daze, she asked curiously.
Yang Hao came back to his senses all of a sudden, and said with a smile: "It's nothing, I just feel that looking at your back is very warm..."
Cozy?
Zhou Manyuan was overjoyed at first, and then extremely suspicious arose in her heart, why did she feel warm and so engrossed, wouldn't he feel this way at home?
Zhou Manyuan opened her mouth, but closed it again. In this case, she thinks it's better not to ask.
Some things, even if you know it, you don't want to know it more clearly. If you know it more clearly, you will often suffer more. Haven't you already made up your mind to stay by his side at all costs?
Zhou Manyuan smiled and walked to the living room: "When are you going to the company?"
Hearing Zhou Manyuan's question again, Yang Hao thought that if he couldn't say it, she would probably talk about it again, so he smiled and said, "Take a rest, go to lunch..."
Zhou Manyuan gave a compliment, but didn't say anything more, and said with a smile: "Then what are we doing this morning?"
Yang Hao touched his nose and said with a wry smile: "You are not suitable for traveling, otherwise, let's find a movie online to watch..."
Zhou Manyuan thought about it, but she couldn't fall asleep anyway. The two of them couldn't sit and chat like this all the time. She took her notebook out of the bedroom, put it on the coffee table in the living room, and said with a smile, "What movies do you like to watch?" ?”
Yang Hao said with a smile: "You can choose, I can do it."
Zhou Manyuan gave a compliment, opened the website and began to search, after searching for a while, Zhou Manyuan raised her head and asked inquiringly: "How about we watch the movie "Scent of a Woman?" I heard it's good, but I haven't watched it yet... "
Yang Hao didn't care what to watch, and nodded in agreement. After Zhou Manyuan clicked on the movie, she shrank back to the sofa and leaned into Yang Hao's arms.
The movie started to play, and Yang Hao didn't take it seriously at the beginning, but after a while, Yang Hao's expression also became serious, and he was also attracted by the plot.
The retired Lieutenant Colonel Sphalan, whose eyes were blown blind, lost the courage to live in life. He was going to use up his last energy to enjoy a good life before ending his own life. However, the immature student Charlie never hated Lieutenant Colonel Sphalan, But in getting along, he developed a father-son relationship. He tried his best to prevent the suicide of Lieutenant Colonel Sphalan and helped him build up the courage to go on. In the process, he also gained courage. Sphalan's wonderful speech , it is even more heart-wrenching...
Yang Hao looked at the role of Lieutenant Colonel Sfalan, but he felt a lot of emotion in his heart, because like them, they sacrificed their lives for the sake of the country. After many people retired due to injuries, their lives were often very difficult. Become decadent, like Lieutenant Colonel Sphalan in a desperate situation...
Zhou Manyuan's eyes were also shining brightly. When Lieutenant Colonel Shi Falan returned home and changed his previous irritable attitude, Zhou Manyuan also showed a happy smile on his face.
"Lieutenant Colonel Sfalan has too much personality..."
Yang Hao exhaled lightly, his body that had been slightly upright relaxed, and he lay back on the sofa, hugging Zhou Manyuan, and said with a slight smile: "This is the real charm of personality..."
Zhou Manyuan leaned in Yang Hao's arms, raised her head, looked at Yang Hao's face, couldn't help but reached out and touched Yang Hao's face lightly, and said with a smile, "You are more attractive than him."
Yang Hao said with a smile: "You really think highly of me."
Zhou Manyuan put her face against Yang Hao's chest, felt Yang Hao's firm heartbeat, her face was peaceful, she was about to speak, when suddenly there was the sound of a key being inserted into the lock.
Yang Hao was taken aback for a moment, then turned to look at Zhou Manyuan in astonishment, Zhou Manyuan didn't react so fast, but when the door lock was twisted, she heard it too, and there was also a look of surprise on her face, but in an instant, her expression Suddenly, he became more flustered, and tried his best to sit up from Yang Hao's arms.
Before she could sit up from Yang Hao's arms, the door had already opened, and there was a young man in his twenties standing at the door, with a backpack on his back and a packaged cake in his hand, walking towards the house Walking away, his footsteps stopped suddenly, and he looked at Zhou Manyuan and Yang Hao who were on the sofa with a surprised expression.
Zhou Manyuan quickly sat up straight, straightened a few hairs that were hanging down, and showed a very embarrassed smile on her face: "Xiaoyong, you are here, why didn't you call first?"
When Yang Hao heard Zhou Manyuan's name, he also showed a moment of embarrassment, because he already knew who this young man was.
Zhou Manyuan's younger brother Zhou Mingyong!
Zhou Manyuan has a family of four. Her mother is weak and sick and does not go to work. Her father works alone, but the salary is very meager. Her younger brother Zhou Mingyong is studying at Zhonghai University. He is now a junior and will soon be a senior. Zhou Manyuan has been subsidizing the family since graduation , not only to subsidize his younger brother's tuition and living expenses, but also to subsidize the family, because Zhou Manyuan's mother's illness costs a lot of money every year...
Yang Hao didn't expect to be caught by Zhou Mingyong. Even though Yang Hao had a thick skin, but after all, his relationship with Zhou Manyuan was not a normal couple, so he couldn't help being a little embarrassed.
Zhou Mingyong and Zhou Manyuan looked quite similar, with a pair of bright eyes, which were full of suspicion. He walked into the room and closed the door smoothly.
"Sister, we don't have class today. I thought you went to work, so I didn't call you..." Although Zhou Mingyong was talking, his eyes kept looking at Yang Hao. After a little hesitation, he still couldn't bear it. Zhu asked: "Sister, this is..."
Zhou Manyuan's expression was slightly awkward, because she didn't know how to introduce Yang Hao, but she had just thought of this idea, and Yang Hao had already taken the initiative to smile and said: "You are Xiaoyong, I have heard your sister talk about it many times. Yes, my name is Yang Hao, and I'm your sister's boyfriend..."
Zhou Mingyong subconsciously turned to Zhou Manyuan. Zhou Manyuan was relieved to hear Yang Hao's self-introduction. Looking at Zhou Mingyong's questioning gaze, Zhou Manyuan nodded quickly, showing that what Yang Hao said was true.
Zhou Mingyong scratched his head, and said with some embarrassment: "Sister, Brother Yang, I didn't know you were at home, and I didn't call first, I'm sorry..."
Yang Hao said with a smile: "It's okay, we just finished watching the movie and are about to prepare lunch, you are here, we just happen to have lunch together."
Zhou Mingyong was also polite, put the cake on the table, and said with a smile: "Okay, yesterday was my sister's birthday, I was going to come here to celebrate her birthday, but she told me not to come because I have something to do, so I will come here today, I want to make up for her birthday..."
