The two of them sat in the car. The distance between them could be said to be close, but it could also be said to be far, because the two of them were sitting by the door.

“Where are you two going?” The driver was a chubby middle-aged man, and he asked in a gentle voice.

“Go to Taoxi road.” Yuan Zhou said.

“Alright,” The driver responded, then started the car and drove away.

Yuan Zhou and Yin ya didn’t say anything for a while, but the atmosphere was quiet and harmonious.

On the other side, the five people who were left behind were dumbfounded.

“Head chef Yuan, you’re leaving just like that?” Li Yu turned his head and looked at Zhong Lili.

“Head chef Yuan is very busy. He opens the restaurant every day and cooks the dishes himself. He doesn’t have any kitchen helpers.” Although Zhong Lili didn’t know the situation, she still nodded and said calmly.

“It seems that he has to go back to prepare for the opening of the restaurant tomorrow. Boss Yuan is still the diligent one with self-control. We all have to learn from him.” Tang Quan said with admiration.

“Right, we have to work hard too. After all, we’re still young.” Another Sichuan cuisine chef chimed in.

“So, do you want to take the car prepared by the chef’s Association or take a taxi back?” Zhong Lili tilted her head and asked.

“No need, our house is so close, we can go back by ourselves.” Li Yu waved his hand.

“You can go back on your own. It’s not that troublesome. Thank you, assistant Zhong.” Tang Quan said.

“You’re welcome, this is my duty. ” Zhong Lili said.

“Then, I’ll see you next time.” Zhong Lili said as she walked to the parking lot across the road.

“Then let’s all go.” Li Yu said and left.

“See you next time.” Tang Quan also waved his hand and left.

The remaining two naturally went back to their own homes.

The car was driving on the road at a high speed. Yuan Zhou turned his head and looked at Yin ya’s side face and then said,””Put on your seat belt.”

“Ah? Oh, okay. ” Yin ya didn’t react in time at first. Then, she reached out to fasten the seat belt.

Seeing Yin ya put on the seat belt smoothly, Yuan Zhou felt relieved and then continued,””It’s not the weekend Today. Why are you here?”

“No, the company isn’t very busy at the end of the year, so I just happened to come.” Yin ya said.

Perhaps because the space in the car was too small, Yin ya had used up all her courage when she saw Yuan Zhou just now. She didn’t dare to admit that she was here to ask for leave and could only avoid Yuan Zhou’s eyes.

“Are you going back for the new year?” Yuan Zhou continued to ask.

“Yes, I’m back. The company has a week. I have to go home.” Yin ya nodded her head.

“Okay, I’ll wait for you in Rong city.” Yuan Zhou suddenly said.

“Ah? Alright. ” Yin ya was a little flustered as she nodded her head and agreed. Then, she turned her head sideways and went to enjoy the scenery.

The inside of the car didn’t look like the backyard of Yuan Zhou’s pub. As the two of them were very close to each other, Yin ya felt a little embarrassed.

Yuan Zhou, on the other hand, was shocked or touched by Yin ya’s behavior today. Therefore, he didn’t avoid Yin ya’s eyes when he spoke this time. Instead, he looked at her face the whole time.

However, the more Yuan Zhou behaved like this, the more Yin ya didn’t dare to look at him.

“Why is the road so long today?” Feeling Yuan Zhou’s gaze on her, Yin ya couldn’t help criticizing him in her heart.

At that time, Yuan Zhou’s heart was filled with joy. He thought to himself,””I’m going to work harder. ”

Perhaps the driver in front felt the atmosphere between the two of them, as he turned on the radio and started to play a song.

In the beginning, the radio station was still playing a lingering love song, but after that, it was a funny and happy song.

This made Yin ya, who had been tense, burst into laughter.

Seeing Yin ya burst into laughter, Yuan Zhou said again,””Have you had lunch?”

“Of course, it’s already fouro’ clock, and it’s almost time for dinner.” Yin ya pointed at the time on the phone and said.

“That’s true, it’s almost time for dinner. ” Yuan Zhou tilted his head and looked at the time on Yin ya’s phone. Then, he nodded and said,””Do you want to have dinner together?”

Yuan Zhou said that casually on the surface, but he actually became nervous in the heart.

“Dinner together?” Yin ya murmured softly but didn’t answer him immediately.

Privately, Yin ya was naturally willing to do so. However, she knew that it was only the first day since Yuan Zhou came back and Yuan Zhou was going to open his restaurant tomorrow. If she were to cook dinner for her tonight, she would be too tired.

As soon as she thought of this point, Yin ya denied the proposal in her heart. She turned her head sideways and said gently,”No, next time. You’ll owe me dinner then.”

Although Yin ya didn’t say anything out of concern, Yuan Zhou instantly understood what she meant when he saw her gentle eyes. He nodded and said,””No, it’s two meals. I owe you two meals.”

“Yes, two meals. So I want to eat something delicious next time.” Yin ya thought of what happened last time and then nodded her head and said.

“Sure, no problem.” Yuan Zhou answered with a nod.

Just as the atmosphere between the two of them and Luo was getting better and better, the driver in front said,””We’ve arrived at the main street of Taoxi road. It’s 75 Yuan in total. ”

“Okay, master, this is 75.” Yuan Zhou quickly took out the money and paid.

“The money is just right. Wait a moment, I’ll get your luggage out.” The driver looked at the money happily, then opened the driver’s seat door and went to the trunk to take the luggage.

“Crack.” Yuan Zhou opened the door at the side, stretched out his long legs, stepped on the ground, and then got up and got out of the car.

Only one side of the door of the taxi could be opened and that side was Yuan Zhou’s side. Now, if Yin ya wanted to get off, she had to move to Yuan Zhou’s original seat before getting off.

Yin ya had just sat down and was about to hold the car door when Yuan Zhou’s hand reached out and held her hand.

“I’ll do it. ” Yuan Zhou looked at Yin ya and said.

“Alright,” he said. Yin ya’s ears turned red, but she still nodded her head and got out of the car following Yuan Zhou’s hand.

Standing on the ground, however, Yuan Zhou didn’t let go of Yin ya’s hand. Instead, he adjusted the position of his hand and held her hand more freely.

Yuan Zhou’s hand was dry and warm while Yin ya’s hand was fair and soft. They just held each other’s hand.

“Thank you, master.” Yuan Zhou thanked the driver calmly and then pulled up the trolley Case with his left hand and walked straight to Taoxi road.

Yin ya, on the other hand, was held by Yuan Zhou and followed behind.

Feeling the strength of Yuan Zhou’s palm, the distinct bones of his fingers and the temperature of his palm, her face began to blush and the blush grew more and more.

Yuan Zhou turned his head and took a look at it. Then, he walked to the back alley decisively, because there were few people there.

Just like that, Yuan Zhou held Yin ya’s hand with his right hand and pulled the suitcase with his left hand and walked directly to the back door of his restaurant.

During the process, Yin ya’s face turned red, but she didn’t struggle or object. Instead, she just followed Yuan Zhou obediently.

“Ta ta ta”. In the quiet back alley, the footsteps of the two people tapped on the bluestone floor, sounding particularly harmonious.

“I’m home,” Yuan Zhou held Yin ya’s hand and stood still at the back door of his own house.

“Okay, okay. I’ll go home first.” Yin ya seemed to have just reacted. While saying that, she prepared to break free from Yuan Zhou’s hand.
