Chapter 249: Extra - Lu Chenzhou And Cheng Xi: I’m Only Happy When I'm With You (IV)

After Lu Chenzhou said those words, he dragged Cheng Xi away without waiting for her to respond.

No one expected him to feel so strongly about Cheng Xi’s career. It had been a long time since he had truly been angry, and the current him was so much gentler that his grandparents had almost forgotten how hard it was to deal with him.

At this time, Cheng Xi unhesitatingly stood by his side. If he said that they were to leave, then she would leave without hesitation.

As Lu Chenzhou said, the two of them went straight home. They had barely started their meal at the Lu household, so they had to make their own dinner. Cheng Xi rolled up her sleeves as they entered the living room and said, “I’ll make something tasty for you tonight.”

Lu Chenzhou was still slightly unhappy about the situation, so he simply nodded and stood by the door to the kitchen as he watched her cook.

One might expect doctors to have adroit knifework, but Cheng Xi was actually very clumsy at cutting vegetables. Her technique was so bad that, at multiple times, Lu Chenzhou thought that she would accidentally cut a finger off.

But she was so focused on her work that it felt like she didn’t care about anything else besides the vegetables in front of her.

Lu Chenzhou was also a part of the aforementioned “anything else,” which was why he didn’t like it when Cheng Xi came home and did anything unrelated to him—more specifically, any task that didn’t involve loving him.

But he was also deeply enthralled by the Cheng Xi in this moment that perfectly epitomized single-minded focus. It reminded him of the first time he had seen her. He had been standing in the darkness as he watched her slowly placated Chen Jiaman; she had been a perfect angel of focus and dedication.

So, even at his most impulsive moments, he had never considered destroying her career. It was something that she cherished and also the part of her that charmed him the most.

So, even if he didn’t like it when she spent time with others, he had never planned on stopping her from working as a doctor.

How could he bear to break her wings?

While Cheng Xi was slow at cutting vegetables, she was much more well versed with the other aspects of cooking. By the time Lu Chenzhou finished reminiscing in his labyrinthine emotions, she had already finished preparing most of the meal.

It was a very simple set of dishes: stir-fried meat, steamed vegetables, and a steak. Cheng Xi’s mother had prepared the steak—including all of the sauces and condiments, and had even included a set of instructions of how Cheng XI should cook the dish—she was clearly afraid that Cheng Xi wouldn’t be able to cook something edible otherwise.

After the table was set, Cheng Xi scooped Lu Chenzhou a bowl of rice and then sat down by his side with shining eyes. “Try it and tell me if it’s good or not.”

The food both smelled and looked good—and that was considering Lu Chenzhou’s high standards. As for the taste, well…… Lu Chenzhou took a bite, and then he expressionlessly fed her a small spoonful of the stir-fried meat.

Cheng Xi chewed for a moment before hurriedly swallowing the meat and getting up to find some water. “Oh no! It’s way too salty!”

Luckily, the vegetables and steak were good. Cheng Xi moved the stir-fried meat aside, embarrassedly saying, “Don’t eat this anymore.”

Lu Chenzhou ignored her. Although he ate quite slowly, he nonetheless finished all the dishes on the table, including the stir-fried meat.

Cheng Xi had long since put down her bowl, and she was currently watching him eat with puffed cheeks, bright eyes, and the slightest hint of a smile on her lips. Lu Chenzhou glanced at her a few times before putting his bowl down, wiping his lips, and asking, “What’re you looking at?”

“At my man.”

Lu Chenzhou raised his eyebrows quizzically.

Cheng Xi smiled. “The more I look at him, the more my man seems to shine. I’ve just been thinking to myself—my goodness, I love him so much!”

“......”

Even though Lu Chenzhou knew that she was just humoring him, he couldn’t stop his heartbeat from quickening. Thump thump thump. It was both a strange and unfamiliar feeling.

It was a feeling that only Cheng Xi could inspire within him.

Lu Chenzhou leaned down and kissed her, his mood all of a sudden brightening.

The improvement in his mood prompted Cheng Xi to start discussing his grandparents’ suggestion with him. She used a lighthearted tone to ask, “Why did you refuse their suggestion? I thought that you didn’t like me pursuing my career.”

“But you like it.”
