While emotions were heating up on one side, Bo Yan was enduring great hardships on the other.
In fact, from appearances, Xia Siyu was particularly clingy to him. After being apart for over half a month, there truly was a sense of "absence makes the heart grow fonder." Concerned about her health, Bo Yan didn't open the wine bottle. Instead, he used fresh chicken to simmer a pot of soup slowly over low heat, filling the entire house with the aroma of food.
In cold weather, or when she was feeling unwell, a pot of warm chicken soup was better than anything. Just after Xia Siyu finished bathing and drying her hair, she smelled the soup and couldn't resist coming down, even skipping her skincare routine.
Bo Yan was still busy in the kitchen. It was just the two of them, so not many dishes were prepared. He washed some vegetables, cut them up, arranged them on a plate, then took out an electric hotpot. Once the chicken was ready, they might as well have hotpot together.
