Shen Yanshan was utterly confused. Hadn't they just had dinner?
What more delicious food could there be?
Suddenly, a light bulb went off in his head. He immediately got the hint and even probed to confirm, "Can we have it tonight? Do I need to make some preparations in advance? Maybe I should take a shower first?"
Just look at that cautious expression.
No wonder people always said that Shen Yanshan was a smart kid from a young age.
Li Chuchu's gaze shifted downward. She stared at his stomach suspiciously and asked, "Can you still eat?"
Shen Yanshan mistook her glance for something else. He gave her a deep look. His eyes glinted hungrily, and his voice was slightly hoarse as he said, "Anytime. It's up to you."
He really meant what he said.
He originally wanted to say that he was definitely up for it, but he was afraid that Li Chuchu would think he was being too eager.
Since they left Spring City, Li Chuchu's words "No way" had been like a leash around his neck, just like a command used to train dogs. Even when he was on the verge of losing control, Shen Yanshan still managed to hold himself back with his extraordinary willpower.
While other men could go home after a big meal and have some intimate moments with their wives, he could only take a stroll in the yard to digest his food.
Don't let this poor guy get pent - up.
This was truly... inhumane torture.
However, the culprit had no idea. Li Chuchu looked at him skeptically and said, "Maybe we should do it tomorrow. Let's forget about it today."
Even a stomach made of iron couldn't handle such abuse! No wonder nine out of ten CEOs had stomach problems. They either gorged themselves or skipped meals when they were busy. Who could stand that?
Li Chuchu would never indulge his bad habits.
He was still young. Didn't he care about his health?
Tomorrow?
The eager flame in Shen Yanshan's heart was instantly extinguished.
He stood at the door. The light from the room shone on his face. His delicate eyebrows and eyes drooped slightly, and his eyes were filled with disappointment, just like a puppy watching its bone being taken away.
This made Li Chuchu hesitate. Was he really that hungry?
Was he such a glutton?
Seeing her expression, Shen Yanshan knew there was no hope for tonight.
So he could only console himself.
Forget it.
Tomorrow would be tomorrow.
He had waited this long. What was one more day?
Moreover, as long as Li Chuchu could gradually accept him, that was better than anything.
After comforting himself, he readily agreed, "Okay. I'll come back earlier tomorrow. I'll take a shower in advance."
Why did he need to take a shower in advance just for a meal?
Li Chuchu was a bit confused. She gave a vague answer, "Coming back earlier is fine. You can also come back and discuss with me how to make it, or we can do it according to your preference."
Shen Yanshan's pupils constricted slightly. His eyes were full of shock. Oh my god, she was being so proactive!
She even cared about his preferences!
Did she mean that pornographic book from last time?
Thinking of this, Shen Yanshan felt a little excited. Thinking about the activities tomorrow night, his voice was filled with uncontrollable excitement, "Okay!"
The two of them had been talking at cross - purposes for a long time.
Before going to bed at night,
Shen Yanshan stood in front of the bed and secretly measured the size. When Li Chuchu bought this bed, she probably didn't consider that two people would sleep in it. It was a bit small. He wondered if he should change it to a bigger one.
But he had no money left.
And if he changed it tomorrow, wouldn't it seem too eager?
Maybe he should hint at it in a few days and then change it?
Li Chuchu saw Shen Yanshan sizing up the bed for a long time. Then he frowned, and then the corners of his mouth curled up slightly. He looked a bit silly.
What was wrong with him?
What kind of stimulation had he received?
Was he starved silly?
Li Chuchu thought for a long time but couldn't figure it out, so she gave up.
Forget it. She wouldn't worry about it for now. She'd go to sleep first.
After Li Chuchu finished washing up, she lay on the bed and let out a comfortable sigh.
Sure enough, she and the bed were the best match in the world.
She heard Shen Yanshan lift the quilt and lie down behind her.
There was no movement for a long time. She was quite puzzled. Shen Yanshan was being so well - behaved tonight. Maybe he was tired. Thinking that she had something to do tomorrow, she adjusted to a comfortable position and fell asleep quietly.
Shen Yanshan lay behind Li Chuchu for a long time. He was very nervous.
He faintly felt that the faint fragrance on her body was getting stronger and stronger. Coupled with what she had just said, it made him restless.
He wanted to get up and get some fresh air but was afraid of disturbing Li Chuchu.
He endured it in bed for a long time before finally falling asleep.
...
The next day,
As usual, Shen Yanshan dropped Li Chuchu off at the factory gate. He didn't leave until he saw her walk through the door.
In the morning, after Li Chuchu finished her daily work, she sat in the office to take a short break.
There were less than ten days left until the Mid - Autumn Festival Gala, but the program list from the Youth League Committee hadn't been sent yet. Li Chuchu waited and waited, and finally decided to go to the Youth League Committee office in person to urge them for the program list.
"Hello, comrade. I'm Li Chuchu from the broadcasting room. I'm the host of the Mid - Autumn Festival Gala. May I ask if the program list for the gala is out? I need it to write the connecting scripts."
The teacher in charge of the Mid - Autumn Festival Gala from the Youth League Committee was a bit surprised.
"The program list is already out! It was brought here yesterday. I was just about to ask you for the host's script. Didn't the Art and Propaganda Team discuss it with you?"
Li Chuchu frowned slightly and replied truthfully, "I wasn't aware of this."
The teacher's face showed a look of understanding.
She got up and gave the program list to Li Chuchu. Looking at Li Chuchu with sympathy and regret, she said, "Take a look. Try to communicate more with the Art and Propaganda Team later."
She had heard of Li Chuchu before.
In the past, Mu Wan had always been the host, but this year, she was suddenly replaced. The Art and Propaganda Team probably had some opinions about her.
There were already such problems before the gala even started. God knows how chaotic it would be later. Thinking of this, she couldn't help but give Li Chuchu a few more words of advice, "Since you don't have any experience as a host before, you should be more diligent and go to the Art and Propaganda Team more often."
Li Chuchu pinched the thin program list in her hand.
She was in a bad mood all of a sudden.
Why should we make things difficult for each other?
What did the Art and Propaganda Team want to do?
Speak of the devil. Just then, Zhu Yuxi came over, looking all dressed up.
When she saw the teacher from the Youth League Committee, she was full of enthusiasm. "Teacher! We were sharing candies over there. I thought I'd bring you some too. You should have seen the program list, right? What do you think of it? Are there any parts that need to be modified?"
As she said that, she put a small bag of candies on the teacher's desk.
They were coffee - flavored candies, the new products from the candy counter in the department store.
She came with gifts in her hands. When the teacher from the Youth League Committee saw her, she smiled and said, "I've seen it. The programs are okay. Let's just go with this."
The program list basically consisted of the same few programs from previous years.
The workers had to go to work every day. They didn't have much time to prepare new programs.
Most of these programs were just the same old things with a new coat of paint. It was hard for them to be outstanding. But they were enough to cope with the leaders and liven up the atmosphere.
The two of them chatted back and forth, as if they were deliberately ignoring Li Chuchu.
