Chapter 316: Chapter 316 Tenderness
After hearing Liu Zheng’s praise, his heart was truly filled with joy.
He now held his chin up high with pride.
"I will definitely work even harder in the future to achieve better results."
"That sounds great, no problem at all. It’s just that Uncle Liu didn’t bring you anything this time, I’ll bring you some gifts next time."
"It’s okay, there’s no need for gifts. I’m already very happy that Uncle Liu praised me."
The two of them really got along very harmoniously.
Initially, there had been some friction between them.
But now everything had been resolved, and they no longer had to worry.
Seeing how well the two got along, Li Yanling naturally felt very content.
"You two play for a bit then, I’m going to cook in the kitchen."
But every time she mentioned this, the two would not just keep to themselves and play; instead, they would immediately go to the kitchen to help her cook.
Even though she would say,
"Alright, that’s enough, it’s fine. You two go and chat in the living room. I’ll be done cooking soon; you don’t need to help me."
But in her heart, she was indeed very pleased.
She could clearly feel the change in Xiao Kai during this period.
Xiao Kai had indeed been very concerned about her.
No matter what happened, he was almost always ready to stand in front of her.
How could this not be considered a wonderful thing for her?
Even when Xiao Kai was sick a few days ago, he had still been worried about her.
"Oh, it’s fine. We can do it together, it’ll be faster that way."
"Yes, yes, doing it together also makes it more enjoyable to participate."
At this moment, Xiao Kai and Liu Zheng immediately said this with grinning faces.
Li Yanling could not possibly continue to send them away.
Because she knew the personalities of the two people.
Even if she asked them to leave now, they might not leave anyway.
So, at this moment, she just smiled softly.
The three of them were busy together in the kitchen.
Honestly, everyone was indeed very enthusiastic.
With laughter and conversation, they were quite efficient at cooking.
Before long, they had finally finished preparing several dishes.
Soon, they all came together at the dining table ready to enjoy a good meal.
During the meal, Xiao Kai couldn’t help but talk about some of the recent events.
"Uncle Liu, I’ve heard all about it. You’ve really saved a lot of people recently. I want to follow your example and become a doctor to save lives and provide aid."
When he said this, Liu Zheng nodded with a smile.
"Well then, you’ll have to work really hard. If you get into a good medical school, you could be like me one day."
Xiao Kai nodded seriously.
"Okay, Uncle Liu, no matter what, I will definitely work hard."
Seeing Xiao Kai like this, Li Yanling was truly happy in her heart.
As she served food to the two of them, she also said,
"If that’s the case, then mommy will wait for you to do all of this well, and I will definitely give you a big reward when the time comes."
But to her surprise, upon hearing this, Xiao Kai just shook his head gently.
"There’s no need for a reward, Mom. I will definitely achieve it."
Seeing her child being so sensible now, Li Yanling was reassured and filled with comfort.
"But I heard that the dean was also planning to offer you a job at the hospital. Why didn’t you go? If you went to the hospital, the salary and benefits would surely be much better than what you have now," she said to Liu Zheng.
After Li Yanling said this, Liu Zheng simply shook his head gently.
"After I finished speaking, you know I’ve gotten used to being lazy," Liu Zheng said, "I definitely couldn’t adapt to that kind of life."
"Besides, you also know that I’m quite satisfied with my life right now, there’s no need for any kind of change, and being able to come and see you all the time makes me very happy."
"If I really went there, in the future I might face a lot of problems, and I wouldn’t have the carefree life I have now."
Seeing him say this, Li Yanling certainly respected every decision he made.
At this moment, she nodded gently.
"Alright, since you have your own ideas, then I definitely won’t say much more."
Honestly, in their time together, the affection among the three of them had indeed grown deeper.
However, in two days he still had to accompany Liu Jiaxin on a trip to another place.
So during those few days, he wouldn’t be able to come over to Li Yanling’s place all the time.
He immediately opened his mouth and said.
"But in two days, I might have to go out of town for some business, and then I won’t be able to be with you two. If you have any problems, just call me."
After hearing this, Li Yanling also nodded gently.
"Alright, no problem, you go do your thing, don’t worry about us."
Xiao Kai also nodded very understandingly.
"Yeah, Uncle Liu, you go ahead, we’ll take good care of ourselves, and you make sure to take good care of yourself too."
"Alright, alright, alright."
Liu Zheng watched the two of them, his heart indeed feeling warm.
Honestly, being with them truly felt like home.
And Li Yanling was like a big sister, always taking care of him, which touched him deeply.
For him, this was a haven.
It was indeed a completely different experience.
And after waiting for them to finish eating,
Xiao Kai immediately dutifully cleaned up the things on the table.
Then, he gathered his things and prepared to go to school.
Before going to school, he didn’t forget to turn his head and say to Liu Zheng,
"Uncle Liu, I’m going now, bye."
Liu Zheng immediately nodded.
"Okay, be careful on your way to school."
Soon after, he left the house.
After he left, Liu Zheng promptly went over to Li Yanling’s side.
At that moment, Li Yanling was still washing dishes in the kitchen.
He wrapped his arms tightly around her from behind.
"You must have missed me a lot these past two days."
Li Yanling kept washing dishes as she nodded with a smile.
"Of course, I had actually planned to come and look for you the other day, but you were always so busy, so I didn’t want to disturb you."
After hearing this,
Liu Zheng slowly rested his chin on her shoulder.
Li Yanling could feel the warmth of his breath on her neck.
"Alright, give me a moment, I’m still washing dishes."
"We can wash them later."
Before Li Yanling could react to what he had just said, he lifted her up in one movement.
But this time, he didn’t head towards the bedroom or the living room,
but placed her on the kitchen table instead.
The next second, he kissed her fiercely.
