"No, you just went to the Stupid Hat Company and then we also closed the building?!"

Bae Joo-hyun didn't want to link the two things together, but the facts didn't seem to allow her to make any refutation.

"We only talked about the closure of the building for one sentence. The rest were his own choices. Don't blame me." Chen Chen stretched out his hand and pulled his girlfriend into his arms. "But the building is closed. Has your schedule changed?"

"How can we change something we agreed on? I can only disinfect myself a thousand times wherever I go." Pei Zhuxuan suddenly realized, "You mean C headquarters has even adjusted the artists' schedules?!"

"No, I can't cancel or postpone the work I've already accepted without permission. I don't have that much face." Chen Chen replied: "It's just that I've become much more cautious about accepting subsequent work. Priority will be given to work that can be completed inside the C headquarters building."

"It looks like the production studio built in the C headquarters' building is going to be very powerful." Pei Zhuxuan didn't say much, but stood up suddenly on the sofa, "Want to have a midnight snack? After that, go to sleep!"

"Have a midnight snack, but don't go to sleep." Chen Chen suggested: "Let's watch TV together. There are quite a lot of interesting TV series recently."

"Really?" Pei Zhuxuan tilted her head, "How come I don't know."

"What do you know if you don't watch TV?" Chen Chen pushed her on the butt. "Go make your meal and get an A-Lin dining table."

"Oh, yeah, you've finally mastered your cooking skills, how about opening a YouTube channel?" Chen Chen thought about what he was saying, "Let's call it A-Lin's Dining Table."

"I haven't even been to Alin's canteen. I still have Alin's dining table." Bae Joo Hyun stood there and laughed, "Do you remember that a long time ago we said that I would occasionally show up at Alin's canteen to get Alin's special supply for the day, but it hasn't happened even once."

"Ha, we are all too busy." Chen Chen couldn't help but laugh awkwardly, "Besides, the A'lin Canteen, which is already operating smoothly and is extremely popular, doesn't need us to go over and mess things up. Making a special offer for the day will only affect other people's normal business."

"But you also closed the A-Lin Canteen." Pei Zhuxuan pursed her lips. The person who was originally planning to go to the kitchen now sat back on the sofa. "I saw that other stores were doing well, but we closed it."

"Don't talk nonsense, it's okay, we just don't provide dine-in service anymore and have switched to takeout!" Chen Chen argued with his neck stiff, "If the situation is really serious, we will stop all business. It's definitely not that serious now."

"Okay, it's all yours anyway, you have the final say." Pei Zhuxuan stood up again, "What do you want to eat?"

"Let's get some snacks?" Chen Chen suggested carefully, "It's winter, it should be quite comfortable to have a drink."

"That's fine." Pei Zhuxuan went straight to the point, "Then I'll make a special hangover soup. Drink the hangover soup right after drinking. Just enjoy the pleasure of drinking and don't accept the discomfort of drinking."

"You are the one who is going to enter the kitchen, so you have the final say." Chen Chen mentioned this when she turned around. "By the way, let the family know again about the matters that need to be paid attention to. Just say that it was the new son-in-law who said so."

"Can't the new son-in-law make the call himself?" Pei Zhuxuan threw the phone at him in dissatisfaction, "You've already come to my house, but you didn't even leave your phone number. How can you be a decent new son-in-law?!"

"Whether it's appropriate or not, I can't make this call anyway." Chen Chen hid far away from the phone. "It's hard for me to accept such an intimate relationship in a short period of time. I feel uncomfortable all over."

"..."

Bae Joo-hyun sighed, came over and took the phone away silently.

"It's okay. Just call when you feel like it."

……

"So, are you really not considering getting a dining table for A-Lin?" Chen Chen looked at the fully prepared dining table and couldn't help but urge her again, "Your cooking skills have become so high now, I really want to show off to the whole world!"

"How can someone do a show just to show off his girlfriend? That's too willful." Bae Joo Hyun remained unmoved, "Let's eat. I didn't work hard to learn cooking just to show off."

"Row."

Chen Chen knew that he couldn't win over her, so he could only look for another opportunity.

"Which episode of Crash Landing on You have you watched?" Chen Chen casually turned on the TV. "Can you keep up with the progress before the finale next week?"

"I haven't watched it. If you want to watch it, you can only start from the first episode."

Very good, Bae Joo-hyun's answer is very Bae Joo-hyun's style.

"What about your own TV series? Have you watched it?" Chen Chen changed his target. "I watched a little bit, but I couldn't stand it." Pei Zhuxuan's answer was even cooler, "Although I am a participant, this kind of TV series is not my cup of tea."

"Well, as expected of you."

Chen Chen smiled and randomly tuned to a variety show to use as background music.

When you don’t know what to watch on TV, variety shows are always the best choice. You can laugh along whenever you look up, and you won’t have any psychological burden when you miss key moments.

"When is your drama 'Sowing Beans, Reaping Beans' going to be broadcast? The production team has been working on it for half a month."

Bae Joo-hyun glanced at the TV and took the initiative to bring this up.

"I don't know. It all depends on the mood of the production team." Chen Chen picked up the wine glass and took a sip. "It's mainly because it's freezing cold right now and they can't do the sowing. Maybe they are building a greenhouse recently, or maybe they are taking care of their own livestock."

"You just become a hands-off boss?" Pei Zhuxuan couldn't help but complain: "You live too comfortably."

"Do I have to go and plant cabbages with them in the spring?" Chen Chen suddenly thought of something. "Oh, by the way, Daegu's cabbages are quite famous, right?"

"Pronounce it properly, it sounds like you're calling me!" Pei Zhuxuan rolled her eyes at Chen Chen and replied, "Daegu cabbage is okay. Although it's not as widely planted as rice, the planting area should be among the top few."

"Okay, then in a few months we may receive the pickled kimchi from the show, and I want to try it then."

Chen Chen found the fun in the blink of an eye. It was so fun to hold the Daegu cabbage in his arms and on the table at the same time.

"It won't be any different. The kimchi you eat occasionally is originally sent from Daegu." Bae Joo-hyun reminded: "There is already a lot at home, and there will be no room for more!"

"OK, fine." Chen Chen spread his hands helplessly, "It seems that this show is really meaningless to me."

"..."

After having two drinks, Chen Chen did not drink the sobering soup immediately. He planned to prolong his tipsy state for a while.

"I'm going to wash the dishes."

Bae Joo-hyun refused to accompany him and took action immediately.

"Leave it there, I'll take care of these chores later."

Chen Chen felt that it was too hard for her to do all this, after all, she was the one who cooked the meals.

"No, you take a rest." Pei Zhuxuan had no intention of stopping, "I came here specifically to do this."

"How can you come all the way here to work?" Chen Chen thought it was ridiculous. "There are actually people like this in this world!"

"I didn't come here to work. I came here to have a meal with you. Handling the last chores was also part of the meal." Bae Joo Hyun stopped cleaning up and sat next to her boyfriend to explain, "Last night, when I was playing with my phone before going to bed, I didn't know if I saw a comment or a video, but I missed you so much for a moment. I missed you like half of my heart was empty."

"Although that feeling disappeared immediately and never reappeared afterwards, the traces it left behind always made me feel uneasy and I always wanted to do something."

"We should see each other at least once a week. It shouldn't be like this, but some things just don't make sense."

"You know I'm not good at being patient, so I couldn't wait to come to you today when I had the chance."

“The results were pretty good, and I did what I wanted to do.”

"It's the same whether I'm chatting with you or cooking and cleaning. I can't get myself motivated when I'm alone. It's good like this now."
