PWDLAW Chapter 56: Gift

 Chapter 56: Gift

His movements paused for a moment. The pen, ink, paper, and inkstone were left behind. The ones he used were not particularly valuable items but if he had to buy them, it would cost a couple of coins. For Chu Ziluo, with the writing materials provided by Xiao Jin, there was no need to buy them again. While Ye Muyu was halfway through her needlework, she felt a shadow falling on her. Looking up, she saw Chu Heng and she asked "Is there something?" "There are writing materials in the study." he said, then turned and left. Ye Muyu was a bit stunned, watching his departing figure. After a moment she finally reacted. Chu Heng had just given her writing materials as a gift. Was this how men gave gifts, acting so awkward and aloof? At noon, Ye Muyu cooked fish soup, milky white in color, with cilantro, which was called 'yuansui' in the past and 'huchui' in this world, to enhance the flavor. There was also black tofu in the fish soup and the taste was quite good. Although the store-bought tofu might have been less tender due to the variety of soybeans and impurities, it didn't affect the taste of the fish soup. On the contrary it added a natural and fragrant flavor. In addition to the fish soup, Ye Muyu also stir-fried twice-cooked pork with green bell peppers, golden and tender slices of meat, and tender green onions. The aroma of the meat quickly filled the air. It made Ye Muyu once again tempted by the allure of Chinese cuisine. Chu Heng couldn't help but eat a few more slices of meat after finishing the fish soup. After drinking the fish soup and eating to their heart's content, they praised Ye Muyu for her culinary skills. "Mother, it's so delicious." Chu Ziluo praised without hesitation. Seeing them satisfied and appreciating her cooking, Ye Muyu felt good. "If you like it, Mother will make more for you in the future." Ye Muyu thought that since she had tasted so many delicacies in her previous life, various western dishes with too much emphasis on plating and lacking ingredients like butter, she could compromise by making Chinese dishes for the children, ensuring they didn't repeat a meal throughout the year. Chu Heng, hearing this felt somewhat envious. He didn't have the luxury of enjoying the meal since he had to leave... Although Xiao Jin also thought it was delicious with Chu Heng present, he didn't dare to be presumptuous. He kept quiet and concentrated on eating. After the meal, Ye Muyu went to help Chu Heng pack his luggage. Originally, she hadn't thought about this and it was Chu Ziluo who reminded her. "Mother, I'll wash the dishes. Why don't you go help Father pack his luggage? Father should be leaving soon." "You should go help Father pack his luggage so that he can leave with peace of mind." Even a child was more considerate than her. Ye Muyu didn't refuse and agreed, making sure Chu Ziluo was fine before turning and entering the east wing room. In the room, Chu Heng was packing his clothes. This time, he had to take some summer clothes. It would soon be May and the next time he returned, it would be August. July and August were the hottest months, so he needed to prepare accordingly. One piece, two pieces... Ye Muyu found that Chu Heng's clothes were particularly few. There were only two sets. She rarely showed kindness and asked "Do you need me to make a set of clothes for you? I can have someone deliver them to you." "No need." Chu Heng instinctively refused. Seeing him refuse, Ye Muyu didn't insist and just responded with an "Oh." She thought it would be a good idea to make new clothes for the two children. It would be a good opportunity to practice her skills, so there was no need to make clothes for Chu Heng. It made her workload easier. Chu Heng suddenly understood her intention and felt a bit uncomfortable. If Ye Yunlan could make clothes for the two children, why wasn't she willing to make clothes for him? Chu Heng felt conflicted, but he couldn't bring himself to ask Ye Muyu to make clothes for him. After all it would be embarrassing to retract his earlier statement. Ye Muyu was unaware of his inner struggles.
