After coming out, I didn't go straight back, but made a detour to my own place.

This used to be a place I was proud of, but after being with Pei Shi Yu, I only stayed there for a few days occasionally, leaving the whole house in silence.

I put the clothes I usually wear directly into the suitcase. I don't think I will live here again in the future. Maybe renting it out is a good choice. I stood in the living room and lit a cigarette. The mood when I first moved in seemed to be still vivid in my mind, including Xiao Wu's envious look at the time, which made me feel a sense of accomplishment.

I started to tidy up the house, packed up all the important items, and could rent it out directly another day. Leaving it empty is actually a waste. My house should be able to rent for a good price.

It was almost nine o'clock when I left my residence. There was a supermarket near the neighborhood. It was almost closing time at this hour. I moved quickly to enter it at the last moment, and quickly selected a lot of ingredients, including breakfast for tomorrow. I want to do it myself.

Carrying two large bags full, when I was checking out, Pei Shi Yu called. I didn't answer it. I paid the money directly before dialing back...

"Are you not at home?" Pei Shi Yu asked in an uncertain tone.

"Are you home?" I asked back.

"Yeah, it's dark at home. I thought you were sleeping."

"How could it be so early? I'm still outside."

"What are you doing?" Pei Shi Yu asked curiously.

"I'm at the supermarket, buying some groceries. I plan to cook myself."

"Didn't you get off work very early?"

"I went to the nursing home after get off work, and then went to my own place. Now I'm coming out of the supermarket. Wait a moment, I'll be there soon," I explained patiently.

"It'll take at least half an hour, right?"

"Almost. Didn't you say you'd be back around ten? I calculated the time."

"Then I'll wait for you in the car."

I put the things directly into the car after hanging up the phone. After getting in the car, I quickly drove out of the supermarket parking lot...

On the road, I looked at all kinds of people. I used to be just one of them, working hard for life, indulging in various entertainment venues, living day to day, and with no goals at all. I didn't even know what kind of lifestyle I was pursuing. Anyone on the street lived more ideally than me, so I cherish myself now and cherish the hard-won love and everything that Pei Shi Yu has changed in me.

I just turned the corner and saw Pei Shi Yu getting out of the car, standing quietly in the garden. This feeling is very good, like a virtuous wife waiting for her husband to come home, with a sense of yearning for a family.

It wasn't until I turned off the engine that Pei Shi Yu walked to my car, watched me take two large bags of food out of the car, and asked, "Why did you buy so much?"

"Put it in the refrigerator. We don't have time to go grocery shopping every day," I explained.

"We can't eat that much either."

"I'll eat it. I can eat a lot. I'm still growing," I teased her with a smile.

Then I took the suitcase out of the trunk. This time it was Pei Shi Yu's turn to laugh at me: "Did you bring the dowry?"

"Yeah, just a box of clothes. Are you satisfied?" I asked back without hesitation.

"Just come yourself."

"Looks like I'm still worth something," I said deliberately, affirming myself.

Amid mutual laughter, I opened the door with the key. I followed behind Pei Shi Yu and said, "I didn't even get to eat dinner today."

"You haven't eaten yet?" Pei Shi Yu turned around and asked.

"Yeah, I went straight to the nursing home, came out around eight o'clock, and then went straight to my own doghouse."

"Don't plan to live there anymore?" Pei Shi Yu said casually.

"I plan to rent it out, so this is the only place to stay. In the future, even if we quarrel, even if I want to leave, you have to pull me back," I said seriously.

"What if I can't pull you back?" Pei Shi Yu replied with a smile.

"Then pull harder."

"I usually don't cook. I haven't even used pots and pans. Are you cooking yourself tonight?"

"I'll boil some water and wash up first. I'll have the strength to clean up after I'm full," I said, walking directly into the kitchen.

Pei Shi Yu had cleaned the whole kitchen very well, and the things were placed in an orderly manner. While I was boiling water, I started washing the vegetables. It was already past dinner time, and I didn't seem very hungry. I just wanted to make two simple dishes, because it was getting late.

As soon as I turned off the faucet, I heard movement in the living room outside. I immediately walked out curiously. It was Pei Shi Yu cleaning up the remaining work from noon. I immediately said, "You can leave it. I'll clean it up later. Go take a shower and go to bed early."

"It'll be done in a while. You do your own thing," Pei Shi Yu replied without raising her head.

I only cooked the dishes, but didn't cook rice, because it takes a long time to cook rice, and I didn't want to waste time. So when I came out after eating, Pei Shi Yu looked at me wiping my mouth and asked, "Is it done?"

"Yeah, I've already eaten."

"What a chef! It only took about half an hour."

"Yeah, I have my mother's genes."

"Is your cooking delicious?"

"So-so, my cooking skills will get better and better."

"I can't cook," Pei Shi Yu stated directly.

"Learn slowly. You always have to learn a few basic dishes, otherwise what will you do when you have children in the future?"

"I haven't thought that far."

"Even if you don't consider it for the children, you can't always eat outside when I go abroad, right?"

"Aren't you going to find a nanny? I don't have time to cook for myself, and I'm too lazy to do it."

"The former is an excuse, and the latter is what you really think," I said as I walked over to clean up together.

"I consulted about going abroad for you this afternoon. I'll officially start the procedures for you to go abroad next month. It will probably take a long time for the visa to be approved. I also have to find a contact abroad. I also plan to train people in our department. There's someone who's quite suitable. He's been with the company for two years and has a good foundation in English. You have to pass the language barrier first when you go abroad, so you definitely won't be in the same school as him."

"You arrange it. I have confidence in myself, and my learning ability is quite strong. What's more, it's something I want. I'll absorb knowledge like a sponge."

I said a little exaggeratedly, the purpose was also to cheer myself up. Since I've made a decision, I don't think I'll leave myself a way out. Only by constantly working hard can I follow Pei Shi Yu's footsteps and move forward together.

"I'll send you off when you go," Pei Shi Yu said seriously.

In the morning, it was just a fantasy. It seemed that the time to really go out was still quite far away, but now that Pei Shi Yu said it, that moment seemed to come true in the blink of an eye. My inner feeling was joy and a little bit of reluctance. After all, I had to be separated from Pei Shi Yu for too long. Youth is very short, especially at our age. We can no longer withstand the ravages of time. When I come back, it will be a matter of years later.
