792. Chapter 792 Getting Along (I)

Su Chen asked Li Si to take him to the door of the apartment area and then parked the car. The cold rain outside was still quite dense, and it was about to catch up with the rainy weather. In a few days, it would be the Qingming Festival again. It was such a wet weather right now, and even the air we breathed was a little humid.

"Okay, let's go back. I'm going back too."

Su Chen took the windbreaker from Li Si, simply put it on his shoulders, and walked towards the apartment area without holding an umbrella.

Li Si stared at the umbrella in his hand in a daze, and wanted to say something, but Su Chen's figure was getting farther and farther away, and there was no time for him to speak. He shrugged helplessly, and had to turn around and get in the car with the umbrella.

Su Chen walked forward slowly, with one hand leisurely in his trouser pocket. When he felt the urge to smoke, he couldn't help but take out a cigarette and light it. The mist was faint, and with a few dry coughs, this cold rainy night became more and more quiet.

The cigarette was half burned, and in a blink of an eye, he saw the door of his house. Su Chen threw away the extinguished cigarette and took out the key from his pocket. However, with a deep look, he unexpectedly saw the thin figure sitting on the steps in front of the door.

Su Chen immediately stopped his steps, and his slightly drowsy head became clearer. He stared at the figure in front of him for a long time, and couldn't help but curse himself in his heart--

Damn it!

He actually forgot that he didn't give her the key to the apartment villa!

Ji Zitong was so cold and numb from waiting that she almost fell asleep.

She probably waited for nearly two hours. The flower shop closed at about ten o'clock in the evening. Her mother Chen Ling knew that she was newly married and asked her to go home early. She didn't want to go home and didn't find anyone. The door was naturally closed. He didn't give her the key to her house. She called twice but didn't answer. Ji Zitong could only wait and see when he could go home.

Unexpectedly, she sat there for two hours. She was shivering with cold and curled up subconsciously. She didn't even notice that Su Chen stopped in front of her.

Su Chen stopped silently and stood there, looking down at Ji Zitong who was curled up in front of him. There were some ripples in his eyes. After a moment, he said in a deep voice, "Get up. It's cold outside. Don't you know to wait in the guard room?"

The sudden voice woke Ji Zitong up. She subconsciously looked up and saw Su Chen's resolute and handsome face. Her cold eyes flickered and she said in a low voice, "You're back... Why are you so late?"

As she spoke, she stood up with her hands on the cold ground. However, because she had been curled up for so long, her whole body was numb. When she stood up suddenly, she staggered and fell to the side.

"Be careful!"

A deep voice sounded, and Su Chen quickly grabbed her arm, almost lifting her up.

Ji Zitong struggled subconsciously, but Su Chen's long arm had already stretched out, firmly wrapped around her shoulders, held her steady, and took the full shopping bag from her hand with one hand.

"Thank you!"

Ji Zitong thanked him politely, shrinking her shoulders uncomfortably, after all, she was not used to such intimate actions.

However, seeing her action, Su Chen frowned, looking at her thoughtfully, with a deep meaning in his silent eyes, which made Ji Zitong tremble slightly.

Originally thought he would say something, but in the end he didn't say anything. Seeing that she had stood firm, she let him go, walked up the stairs with a few big steps, took out the key, opened the door neatly, and pushed the door very gentlemanly to make way for Ji Zitong behind him.

Ji Zitong took a deep breath, lowered his eyes, and walked inside.

Su Chen closed the door, turned on the air conditioner and heater in the room, and took off his coat. After a while, the temperature in the room began to slowly warm up, and both of them changed their shoes.

"Have you had dinner?"

Su Chen hung his coat on the rack and looked at Ji Zitong who was packing the things in the shopping bag.

"I had a simple meal at the flower shop. Haven't you eaten yet?"

Ji Zitong looked up at him, smelling the alcohol on his body, and didn't know where he went to socialize. Suddenly, he felt that it seemed redundant to ask such a question, so his eyes flickered, and the whole person lowered his eyes again, and began to silently sort out the things he bought.

They were all daily necessities. She also hurriedly packed them last night and followed him here. Many things were not brought over, so she went to a nearby supermarket while it was still early after get off work.

Su Chen seemed to be able to see what she was thinking. After thinking for a while, he explained, "I had a few drinks with Achen Zimo and others, and forgot to call you. Sorry. How long have you been waiting?"

"Fortunately, I waited for a while."

Ji Zitong could only respond indifferently. The two of them were very unfamiliar, and there seemed to be no need to explain. But on second thought, it seemed that she should explain. After all, she waited for a long time, and now their nominal relationship was not ordinary.

"Okay, go upstairs and take a shower first. I'll cook some simple midnight snacks and give you the key later."

"I..."

"Go upstairs and take a shower right now. I don't want another patient at home."

Before she finished speaking, Su Chen interrupted her without saying anything, took the bag from her hand, put it aside, pointed to the stairs on the side, and motioned her to act immediately. There was an irresistible domineering tone in his low voice. He was indeed a man accustomed to the official airs.

Ji Zitong frowned. Although he was not very satisfied with the man's momentum, he had to compromise after thinking of the chill all over his body. Then he turned around and went upstairs silently.

Seeing the slender figure disappear at the stairs, Su Chen leisurely unbuttoned his sleeves, rolled up his sleeves slowly, and walked into the kitchen.

After drinking all night, he felt dizzy and a little hungry, so he naturally had to prepare something to fill his stomach. Didn't she eat it too?

Although Su Chen's cooking skills were not as good as Mu Yuchen's, they were not bad either. When he was in the army before, he and Mu Yuchen and Zhou Zimo often cooked their own meals.

It was already very late, so it was too late to prepare dinner, so Su Chen simply made some light chicken porridge. He moved quickly, and by the time Ji Zitong came down from the shower, the midnight snack was ready.
