I Seem Unsuited For Dating

  Jiang Zhi Zhou's return trip was scheduled for three days later . Pulling his luggage behind him, he left to pick up Jiang Man Man from Jiang Cheng Yue's room .

 

  By this time, Jiang Man Man had already finished packing, but she held on to her tiny bag and refused to walk out the door .

  "Man Man, Daddy will soon be back too . So first go home to A City with Uncle . " Jiang Cheng Yue knelt at the doorway to comfort her, but Jiang Man Man pursed her mouth, a heartbroken expression on her face . Jiang Zhi Zhou walked over and coaxed, "Man Man, are you all packed up?"

  Jiang Man Man glanced at him and turned her head away .

  Jiang Zhi Zhou said: "Come, Man Man, we must go this afternoon . If we get to the plane too late, it will fly away . "

  "Your uncle is right, don't let Mr . Driver wait too long . " Jiang Cheng Yue kissed her . "Goodbye, Man Man . "

  Jiang Man Man's tears overflowed . Jiang Zhi Zhou took her hand and said to her, "Man Man, say goodbye to Daddy . "

  "Daddy . . . bye bye . " Jiang Man Man said, sniffling .

  Jiang Zhi Zhou felt that it could only get more uncomfortable from here, so he simply picked Man Man up and walked to the elevator . Jiang Cheng Yue's a.s.sistant followed them to help with the luggage .

  On the way to the airport, Jiang Man Man was silent, not even letting out a single word . Only when Jiang Zhi Zhou took out a box of candy did she cheer up a little . Before boarding the plane, he sent a message to Xia Wei as usual: "I'm boarding now, please wait for me at home . I'll come right over once I get there . "

  Xia Wei: Okay! I'll have Suns.h.i.+ne and Tangerine lined up to welcome you back .

  Jiang Zhi Zhou: . . . . . .

  After boarding, Jiang Man Man fell asleep, only waking to eat once . At A City Airport, Jiang Zhi Zhou collected their luggage and led her to the exit . "Man Man, take a look around, see if you can spot Grandma . "

  "Mnnn, Grandma said she was wearing a flowery dress today . "

   . . . Jiang Zhi Zhou glanced over at the ladies around them . Apparently flowery dresses were in fas.h.i.+on this season .

  "Oh, I saw Grandma!" Jiang Man Man pointed to the left, where her grandmother had also just caught sight of her . Jiang Zhi Zhou led Man Man over and paid his greetings, then got ready to leave . Jiang Man Man looked at him reluctantly: "Bye bye Uncle, remember to visit Man Man . "

  "I will . " Jiang Zhi Zhou bent over and rubbed her little head . "Get ready to eat something tasty the next time we see each other . "

  Once he got into a taxi outside the airport, he switched his phone back on . Xia Wei had sent him a message ten minutes ago asking if he had arrived .

  Jiang Zhi Zhou: Just got out of the airport . I'll be there within an hour .

  Xia Wei: [Thumbs up]

  Xia Wei: Since I knew you were coming back today, I bought a lot of tasty things!

  Jiang Zhi Zhou raised a brow and read the second half of her sentence--

  Xia Wei: I'm waiting for you to get back!

  Jiang Zhi Zhou: . . . . . . . . . . . .

  Xia Wei: Hurry up :)

  Jiang Zhi Zhou: . . . at least get the ingredients ready .

  Xia Wei: Ok!

  Xia Wei understood that getting ingredients ready meant was.h.i.+ng them . If she started in on cutting, Chef Jiang would look down on her prep work . Although she had eaten lunch from Tian Xia Restaurant every day this month, she felt like there was hardly any comparison to Chef Jiang's own cooking .

After was.h.i.+ng up, she ran to the girlfriend group and announced: "Dear fellow students, Mr . Jiang is coming back today!" +

  Invincible Little Sweetie: I remember once Mr . Jiang talked about inviting us to dinner . +

  Eight Treasures Congee Female Hero: Please wait until I'm back! I'll definitely be back next month! +

  Not Losing 5kg Not Changing Name: :) +

  Not Losing 5kg Not Changing Name: Wait for me to come back too, please +

  Eight Treasures Congee Female Hero: . . . When will you be back? Chinese New Year? +

  Not Losing 5kg Not Changing Name: I had a long talk with my parents . I still want to come home - if everything goes well, I should be back by the end of next month . I'll let you all know when I'm sure of the date . +

  Asking For Suicide At Eighteen This Year: Sounds good . +

  Xia Wei chatted for a while with the group, planning to later hara.s.s Mr . Jiang for his current location . She waited and waited until the doorbell finally rang . +

  "Woof woof!" +

  "Meow . " +

  Xia Wei almost trampled them over rus.h.i.+ng from the the sofa to the door at the same time . Outside, Jiang Zhi Zhou stood with a suitcase and smiled a small smile at her . +

  At that moment, Xia Wei's heart burst into a myriad emotions, and she felt her nose begin to sour . Though he was clearly standing right in front of her, she had never missed him so much this last month as in this present moment . +

  "I'm back . " Jiang Zhi Zhou smiled . +

  "Oh . . . well . . . then, cook . " +

  Jiang Zhi Zhou: " . . . " +

  Xia Wei wanted to slap herself to death . Words to say tumbled in her head, but she had never been a person who showed her feelings . Even to her parents, she couldn't say "I love you" naturally . So now, looking at Jiang Zhi Zhou face to face, she wasn't able to form the words "I missed you" . +

  That simple sentence crossed the boundary of intimacy she was able to accept . +

  "I-- I prepared slippers for you . " Xia Wei bent down to take out a pair of men's slippers and placed them in front of him . "And I prepared a new men's facial cleanser and lotion . It's greasy in the kitchen, you have to take care of yourself!" +

  Jiang Zhi Zhou: " . . . " +

  He put on his new slippers and dragged his luggage inside . Both Tangerine and Suns.h.i.+ne surrounded him, scurrying about his feet and nudging at his legs . Jiang Zhi Zhou squatted down and played with them for a while, before staring at Tangerine carefully . "Tangerine seems to have slimmed down a little since our last video call . Was it really the camera after all?" +

  Xia Wei replied, "Well, since you said he was a pig, I put him on a strict diet . Now he's slowing down a little on the road to pig . " +

  Jiang Zhi Zhou: " . . . " +

  No wonder he looked so dissatisfied . +

  "Then I'll go cook first . You accompany Suns.h.i.+ne and Tangerine . " Jiang Zhi Zhou said, going to the kitchen . Although Xia Wei had instructed him to cook, she felt rather guilty about it, knowing that he had just returned from a business trip and was exhausted . She followed him into the kitchen and stood beside him, saying, "Just make two simple dishes, and let me help you . " +
