Chapter 58
Jiang Wei walked in a daze, and Xiao Shi got tired and lay down on the ground, refusing to move.
The leash went taut, and Jiang Wei was startled awake. She turned around, squatted down, and gently said to Xiao Shi, "What's wrong? Are you tired? Let's go home if you're tired."
Xiao Shi tilted her head, her dark eyes shining, as if saying, "Where's that annoying man who scoops up poop? How come he's not here today?"
Jiang Wei gave a bitter laugh. He probably wouldn't come today, since the dog-walking time was almost over, but she still hadn't seen his figure...
Jiang Wei sighed and patted Xiao Shi's bottom. "Come on, let's go home."
Xiao Shi obediently got up, and just as the "mother and daughter" were about to head back, a hurried call came from behind them—a familiar voice.
It was Yi Ming.
"Wait for me, I'm coming."
Yi Ming came running with a large shopping bag, his slightly damp hair swaying, his smile as radiant as ever.
"Where have you been?"
Jiang Wei was slightly dazed. How did this guy keep appearing and disappearing lately? When did he show up behind her without her noticing?
"Buying stuff."
"Buying what?"
There was no shortage of vegetables, fruits, or snacks at home. Jiang Wei couldn't think of why he would suddenly go to the supermarket.
"You'll know when we get home."
The shopping bag looked heavy, and Yi Ming grew tired carrying it with one hand after a while, so he switched to the other.
What's going on? So secretive...
Back home, Jiang Wei took Xiao Shi to the bathroom to wipe her paws while Yi Ming carried the shopping bag straight into the kitchen and even closed the door behind him. "I'll cook dinner tonight. After you finish wiping Xiao Shi's paws, go watch TV on the sofa. It'll be ready soon."
Jiang Wei was surprised upon hearing this.
Did she hear that right?
The young master Yi Ming was going to cook for her himself? Was this a time warp, or had she accidentally traveled to a parallel universe?
Most importantly... could the food cooked by someone who had never set foot in the kitchen actually be edible?
She had her doubts...
After helping Xiao Shi clean her paws, Jiang Wei obediently went to the sofa and watched TV as instructed by Yi Ming.
The relationships in the TV drama were incredibly complicated and could be summed up in one phrase: "ridiculously melodramatic."
The male lead liked the female lead, but the female lead liked the second male lead. For the sake of money, the female lead had to agree to "be together" with the male lead, but unexpectedly, after spending time with him, she realized that her true love was not the second male lead, but the male lead.
Upon learning this, the second male lead was so heartbroken that he wanted to commit suicide by jumping off a building. The real estate salesgirl tried her best to stop him, and when the second male lead looked at her, he thought, "Well, this girl isn't bad either... Why should I pine after just one flower?"
Jiang Wei watched with a completely black face: "..."
Scriptwriter, dare you make it any more ridiculous?
Just as Jiang Wei was shaking her head in disbelief, Yi Ming opened the kitchen door, revealing his handsome face. He grinned and said, "It's ready, my lady. Time to eat."
Jiang Wei was stunned for a moment, then walked into the kitchen in her slippers, her gaze sweeping over the dishes on the table. It turned out to be steak—low in technical difficulty and easy to eat, no wonder Yi Ming dared to offer to cook today.
Her gaze then fell upon a strange jar-like object beside the table.
"What's that?"
"Alcoholic beverage."
Yi Ming's eyes curved into crescents as he replied softly, "To celebrate Jiang Wei's successful performance, a little toast to relax, it won't hurt."
Jiang Wei: "..."
Yi Ming was really acting too strange today...
