The guard saw her and opened the gate.
After that, she retracted her head and sent a message to Zhang Jingyu.””I’m here. I’m done talking to you. “
“Yes. I’ll go home after the meeting and start doing the test papers,” Zhang Jingyu replied.
“Got it,” Gu nianjia replied.
She pouted and snorted, then sent a slightly emoji.
As soon as Gu nianjia returned home and put down her bag, Zhang Jingyu sent her another video call.
What’s wrong with this guy today?
She picked up the video call with a frown on her face. Zhang Jingyu should be around nineo’ clock by now. The tie around his neck was gone, and the first two buttons of his white, dark-striped shirt were unbuttoned.
He was holding a glass of water in his hand.
“Baby.” Just as Gu nianjia was about to ask him what he wanted to say, Zhang Jingyu spoke first.
He was already used to calling her that, but his voice was much more friendly and gentle than usual.
“What do you want?” Gu nianjia could not help but calm down.
She was still frowning.
“Are you home yet?” Zhang Jingyu asked.
“I’ve already told you. Are you suffering from amnesia?”Gu nianjia asked.
“You’re not young anymore. You’re suffering from dementia,”she added.
“I’m only five years older than you,”Zhang Jingyu replied with a frown.
“There’s a generation gap every three years. We’re already two generations apart. You’re already old.” Gu nianjia chimed in.
“Really?”
“Yes,” Gu nianjia agreed.”Your age is too old for girls at our stage.”
“Oh,” Zhang Jingyu replied.
As Gu nianjia was in the kitchen preparing some pear soup for song Changwen, she did not notice the change in Zhang Jingyu’s tone and expression.
As she spoke, she walked into the kitchen and said to Zhang Jingyu,””I’m not going to talk to you anymore. I’m going to make Snow Pear soup for my mom. She’ll come back later to drink it. “
“You know how to make soup?” Zhang Jingyu chuckled.
“Don’t look down on me. I’ve been learning from aunty Hong for the entire afternoon. I’ll send you a video when I’m done.” Gu nianjia was not convinced by her tone.
“Alright,” Zhang Jingyu replied.
Gu nianjia did not hang up either. Instead, she found a place to rest and put her phone down before going to the refrigerator to get some pears. She then washed and cut them.
Everything was carried out according to the steps that Auntie Hong had told her today.
When it was time to add the rock Candy, she looked at the large pieces of Rock Candy and hesitated for a long time. Finally, she decided to ask Zhang Jingyu,”teacher, how many pieces of Rock Candy would 20 grams be?”
Zhang Jingyu was speechless.
He didn’t tell her how much it was, so he just told her what to do. He asked,”Are you a pear?”
“Yes,” Gu nianjia nodded.
“Then, put in 10 to 15 pills. Let’s see if your mother likes sweet stuff,” Zhang Jingyu said.
“Do you need to put that much?” Gu nianjia was a little suspicious of how much exactly two grams of rock sugar Zhang Jingyu was talking about.
It was so big.
“That’s just nice,” replied Zhang Jingyu.”Rock sugar is not as sweet as you think.”
“Then, the pear soup that you bought for me in the past, wouldn’t you add a lot of rock sugar in a cu
p?” Gu nianjia asked.
No wonder she had gained weight.
Whenever she caught a cold, Zhang Jingyu would always buy her some pear soup.
The pear soup in that shop was very delicious, and the small glass bottle used to wrap the soup was also very unique. She had always wanted to ask where she bought it, but she had always forgotten.
“I made that for you,” Zhang Jingyu replied.
His tone was light and casual.
“What?” Gu nianjia’s eyes widened in shock.
The pear soup she drank every time was made by him? How was that possible?
