Jiang Yao returned home and waited for the chief's call. She waited until it was almost noon before it finally arrived. Jiang Yao began to look forward to the time that the chief had set aside for her.
It was the day after the next, which was the day after Lu Xingzhi's birthday.
She seemed to need a reason to deceive Lu Xingzhi ahead of time. She could not let Lu Xingzhi figure out her scheme.
Lu Xingzhi would definitely go home to cook at midday if Jiang Yao was at home. Even though his lunch break was brief and he could opt to bring it back from the cafeteria, Lu Xingzhi did not mind the hassle and went home to cook every day.
They cooked pretty quickly; there were two dishes and a soup. Lu Xingzhi's cooking abilities improved all the time. He could satisfy Jiang Yao's appetite with one meat and one vegetable dish.
