Chapter 114 Entwined

  After finishing singing this song with friends, Wang Hao Dong and Wang Peng looked at each other and smiled, tacitly putting down the microphone.

  "You go rest first."

  Wang Haodong smiled, took out beer and watermelon from the refrigerator, cut the watermelon, brought it to the coffee table with the beer, and drank beer and ate watermelon with Wang Peng.

  "Tomorrow morning I'll go directly to the city, I've got a business deal to discuss and I have to return immediately, my boss called me at noon to rush me." Wang Peng said while smoking: "Originally I planned to stay for another day and play with you, but it seems like there's no chance now."

  "Alright, business is important, I understand." Wang Haodong smiled and said, "Next time you're free, I'll accompany you to have some fun for a few days."

  At five o'clock, Wang Haodong took Wang Peng to Wang Xin's store. Wang Xin rode an electric bike and sent his elder cousin back home. Before leaving, he invited Wang Haodong to go together.

  Considering himself an outsider after all, although the Wang family was very kind and enthusiastic to him, Wang Haodong felt a bit awkward, so he didn't go and politely declined their good intentions.

  Watching their silhouettes disappear from view, Wang Haodong turned his face away and walked towards Zhang Shufang's home in big strides. Xiao Yufen was not at home, and she didn't feel like cooking either, so she decided to go scrounge for food instead. Her sisters wouldn't be unwelcoming anyway.

  As he walked briskly, Wang Haodong saw Zhang Shufang setting up a stall. How strange! Didn't they usually sell vegetables in the morning and pack up at noon to rest in the afternoon?

  With a hint of curiosity, Wang Haodong walked towards Zhang Shufang's stall.

  "Hey, beautiful."

  Zhang Shufang was weighing vegetables for an old man when she looked up and saw Wang Haodong, revealing a hint of surprise: "Haodong, what brings you here?"

  Wang Haodong took out a cigarette and lit it, saying pitifully: "Yu Fen is not at home, I've become a poor child."

  Zhang Shufang skillfully made the change, and after the customer left, she asked with some resentment: "Yu Fen is not at home, you only thought of looking for me, why didn't you look for me before?"

  "Sorry, Shufang, I've been with friends these past few days. Wang Xin's older brother, also my good friend Wang Peng, came from out of town."

  Wang Haodong hastily explained a few sentences, Zhang Shufang discontentedly said: "Now I feel that you are not as good to me as before."

  "Heaven and earth are witness." Wang Haodong hastily raised his hand and swore, "I have always loved you, loved you so much, it hurts so much."

  "You passed."

  Zhang Shufang revealed a happy smile, Wang Haodong hurriedly walked to her side, helped her tidy up the vegetables, and asked a few questions in his mouth, only to learn that these dishes were not sold out in the morning, fearing that they would turn yellow and wither if left at home for too long, so he took advantage of the opportunity in the afternoon to pull them onto the street to sell.

  "Hey, where's Zhang Qian?"

  "They organized a mountain climbing trip at school, and they also had dinner together in the evening. After summer vacation, they will go to university, and soon everyone will scatter. I heard that many people went, it's like a farewell dinner, and they won't be back until tomorrow."

  Listening to her words, a smile appeared on Wang Haodong's face, "Hey, that doesn't represent, tonight we can stay together."

  "Don't even think about it." Zhang Shufang shook her head directly, intentionally revealing a resistant expression on her face.

  Wang Haodong knew she was saying it on purpose, a typical case of wanting to refuse but still welcoming, so he hurriedly held her hand and softly asked for a while. She let out a snort of laughter, "Just looking at you, I know you're stubborn."

  "I won't let go, how can I get a beautiful girl like you?" Wang Haodong's hand slid down quietly and touched her slender waist. She hurriedly pushed away Wang Haodong's hand and said: "Don't do that, there are so many people on the street."

  Wang Haodong knew she was shy, so he stopped teasing her and helped to shout out the remaining vegetables. As a result, several customers were attracted to come and select some at a suitable price, buying satisfactory vegetables.

  As the sun was about to set, Wang Haodong and Zhang Shufang were also leaving. The remaining vegetables could be used for dinner, so they packed up their stall and left the street by tricycle.

  "When will your song open?" Zhang Shufang asked on the way.

  "The day after tomorrow is an auspicious day."

  Zhang Shufang turned her face and asked Wang Haodong: "Can Yufen hurry back?"

  "She's coming back tomorrow afternoon, and if you have time, come together the day after tomorrow morning. If not, it's also okay to come at noon."

  Zhang Shufang said: "The day after tomorrow is Tuesday, it's not a market day, so I can go help you with the opening."

  Wang Haodong stood up, holding onto the iron railing of the car. The strong wind blew his hair and clothes, and Wang Haodong laughed: "I almost forgot about that, okay, let's get together the day after tomorrow, I'll treat you to dinner."

  "The most important thing is to do business well." Zhang Shufang said while driving and talking to Wang Haodong.

  Whether the business can be done or not, Wang Hao Dong doesn't know, but this is Lin Yuan Town's first song bar, and it also carries his entrepreneurial dream. No matter what, he will work hard to do it, and believe that he can do well. As long as the business stabilizes, he will hand it over to Xiao Yu Fen to manage, and then think of other ways to make money.

  A few minutes later, the car arrived at the gate of the house. Wang Haodong saw that the gate was closed and quickly got out of the car. He took the key from Zhang Shufang's hand and opened the gate. Then Zhang Shufang drove the tricycle into the yard.

  Landlord Zhou Yun is at home today, washing clothes. Wang Haodong entered the yard and greeted her.

  Zhou Yun nodded at Wang Haodong, wiped his hands and walked to Zhang Shufang's side, asking: "Are there still vegetables?"

  "There's also some golden needle mushroom and some chili pepper."

  "Give me a scale then." Zhou Yun looked at the vegetables in the tricycle and said, "The remaining enoki mushrooms and chili peppers, give me one-third of them."

  Alright.

  Zhang Shufang responded with a "yes", took the familiar container and filled it with food for her, then handed it to her and said: "I brought this for you to eat."

  "How can that be? This has a cost, no way, I have to give you money." Zhou Yun was unwilling, took out her purse, pulled out a twenty yuan bill and stuffed it into Zhang Shufang's hand.

  Zhang Shufang declined a few times, but Zhou Yun insisted on giving her the money. Having no choice, she accepted 5 yuan and gave her some change before finally stopping.

  "You guys go ahead, I'll wash the clothes first." Zhou Yun smiled and walked to the faucet, starting to do laundry. She knew they were a couple, so it wasn't good for her to be a third wheel.

  Wang Haodong and Zhang Shufang brought the remaining vegetables upstairs, took a short rest, and then started cooking. Wang Haodong sat down by the TV to watch television.

  The kitchen was filled with the sound of sizzling and simmering, and before long, the aroma of dishes wafted out. Wang Haodong sniffed his nose and felt his appetite surge, so he walked into the kitchen.

  Wang Haodong picked up a pair of chopsticks and tasted a few bites of the cold mixed golden needle mushroom, then offered to help, but Zhang Shufang wouldn't let him lift a finger, pushing him into the living room to watch TV instead.

  More than 20 minutes later, Zhang Shufang finished cooking the dishes. There were three dishes and one soup, which were cold mixed golden needle mushroom, pepper fried meat shreds, braised eggplant, and a tomato and egg soup on the side. The dishes looked colorful and fragrant, emitting an enticing aroma that made Wang Haodong drool with desire.

  "It's time to eat."

  Zhang Shufang put the dishes on the living room table, a bright smile rising on her face.

  Wang Haodong put down the remote control in his hand and walked to her side, helping her take off her apron and then went to fetch water to wash her face and hands.

  After washing up, the two of them sat down at the dinner table in the living room. Zhang Shufang asked: "Hao Dong, do you want to drink or not?"

  Wang Haodong smiled and said, "You can drink if you want, or you don't have to."

  "How about we drink beer then?"

  Wang Haodong nodded, opened the refrigerator and took a look. There were still six bottles of beer inside, so he took out two bottles of beer. Zhang Shufang went to get two cups, and after opening the wine, they started pouring the wine.

  Zhang Shufang raised her wine glass and smiled: "Come on, Haodong, let's have a toast."

  "Cheers."

  Wang Haodong's cup touched hers and she tilted her head back and drained it in one gulp.

  "Eat vegetables and see if they're cooked well."

  Wang Hao Dong tasted the dishes, and they were very delicious. He praised them repeatedly, not letting Wang Hao Dong do any work, enjoying the fruits of his labor, and naturally wouldn't be stingy with praise.

  Listening to Wang Haodong's praise, Zhang Shufang's face showed a happy expression.

  While eating and chatting, the wine was also drunk quickly. However, Zhang Shufang's capacity for alcohol was average. After Wang Haodong finished a bottle of beer, her wine still had more than half left. She didn't want to drink anymore, so she gave the rest to Wang Haodong.

  "It feels really good, Shufang."

  "What's wrong?"

  "Look, I'm eating delicious food, drinking cold beer, and there's a gentle and virtuous beauty sitting next to me, being very considerate of me. Ah, it's so comfortable, even if you offered me a god, I wouldn't trade."

  As Zhang Shufang listened to Wang Haodong's words, her smile bloomed even more radiantly. Wang Haodong couldn't help but wrap his arms around her waist and gave her a gentle kiss on the cheek.

  Zhang Shufang dodged a few times and coquettishly said: "Oh dear, it's all greasy, can't kiss you without wiping my mouth."

  "Haha, I like it this way, Shufang. I love seeing you blush." Wang Haodong couldn't help but tease her, while she replied seriously, "The landlord is at home, let's keep our voices down."

  Yes, living in the same yard, a loud voice will inevitably disturb others, just like Wang Haodong and Yu Fen at home, they also caused dissatisfaction with Police Flower Chen Yue. This is a lesson from the past, after hearing Shufang's words, he lowered his voice.

  "Stop talking and let's eat, it'll get cold soon and won't taste good if it does."

  "Alright, dear, go get some rice." Wang Haodong picked up his cup and downed the last beer, while Zhang Shufang stood up and went to scoop two bowls of rice.

  After finishing his rice, Wang Haodong's stomach was already full, and he comfortably let out a burp, took out a cigarette, lit it up and started smoking.

  Zhang Shufang washed the dishes and came back, Wang Haodong pulled her hand, letting her sit on his lap, feeling her soft and plump buttocks, his big hands also became unscrupulous.

  "Hao Dong, I think Qianqian has found out about us."

  "Huh?" Wang Hao was taken aback and asked: "Did she hint at you or say it outright?"

  "It's implied, I can feel it, she wants me to hold on to you tightly and squeeze out Yufen."

  "That girl." Wang Haodong smiled wryly and grasped Zhang Shufang's hand, saying: "Don't worry about her for now, as long as she doesn't ruin our relationship, it's fine."

  "Ah, I often think of you, the triangular relationship between me and Yufen, always feel a bit absurd." Zhang Shufang said in a low voice, "If others knew about our relationship, I don't know what to say."

  "We just want to live our lives happily and peacefully, we can't stop others from talking, let them say what they want, we don't need to care about it."

  Zhang Shufang nodded and turned to ask Wang Haodong: "Haodong, do you love me?"

  Women always like to ask these questions, and still ask after a while, knowing the answer clearly, but still go to inquire, and the answer to this question is only one, that is I love you.

  "Shu Fang, I love you, love you to death..."

  "Kiss me..." Zhang Shufang was struck by Wang Haodong's sweet words, her whole body felt soft and weak, and his hands were still being naughty, she couldn't help but feel a little dizzy with love, wanting to entwine herself with Wang Haodong.

  As their emotions reached a boiling point, Wang Haodong held Zhang Shufang in his arms and slowly walked into the bedroom.

  "I haven't taken a bath yet." Zhang Shufang shyly buried her head in Wang Haodong's chest, saying softly.

  "Then let's take a bath first, we'll bathe together..." Wang Haodong chuckled and carried her into the bathroom.
