Chapter 46: Filial Son-in-Law

The next day, after breakfast.

"Have you packed everything? Did you forget anything?" Li Shenxing came to the bedroom and asked Hyori.

"I've put everything in the suitcase." Hyori patted her hands and said.

"Alright, let's go downstairs." Li Shenxing took the suitcase and went downstairs first.

Hyori closed the bedroom door and followed him down.

The two of them, with their backpacks and suitcases, walked out of the villa. The taxi they had called was already waiting at the door. After putting the suitcases in the trunk, they set off for the airport.

This short holiday was over, and it was unknown when they would have time again. Hyori looked out the car window, feeling reluctant.

April 13th, overcast

Today, Li Shenxing still woke up as usual. After washing up, he looked out the window at the somewhat gloomy weather, changed into a set of shorts and a T-shirt, and went out for a run.

There weren't as many people on the road today as usual, and he didn't see many people exercising. Li Shenxing thought for a moment, oh! Right, today is Saturday.

[Does Saturday have a direct relationship with fewer people running? The author is very puzzled.]

[Li Shenxing: Of course, there are seven days in a week, and you have to give people two days to rest and sleep in!]

[Alright! This reason is very strong. The author has no words to say.]

After running back, he still fed the cats their breakfast first. Over the past two days, he noticed that Go and Wangzi weren't eating as much and weren't as enthusiastic during meals. It might be because of the change in cat food brand. Li Shenxing decided to buy some ingredients for homemade cat food at the supermarket tomorrow to help the cats adjust.

Of course, Xiao Pang was an exception. He always ate with great relish, no matter what. [Don't you feel that Xiao Pang is innocent? He always gets blamed.]

If you ask why he didn't make the cat food today, the answer is that he was busy today.

Today, Hyori was quite busy, recording songs all day, so he made her a breakfast that was easy to digest and nutritious.

Li Shenxing thought for a moment and decided, "Hmm... let's make a fresh meat omelet and a lean meat century egg porridge."

First, he washed the rice and glutinous rice and soaked them in water. He took out the chicken breast, lean pork, and carrots, and cut them into small pieces. He peeled and cut the century eggs into small pieces, and chopped some ginger and green onions. He also prepared some corn kernels in a bowl.

He put a pot of water on to boil, then added the soaked rice and glutinous rice, waiting for it to boil.

While waiting, he prepared the omelet. He minced some chicken breast and lean pork, added a little salt and green onions, and mixed them well. He then took two eggs and beat them in a bowl.

The porridge was boiling, so he turned the heat down and simmered it for twenty minutes. During this time, he made the omelet.

He took out a non-stick pan, heated it, and added a little oil. He poured in some of the beaten egg to form a thin pancake, then spread the meat mixture evenly on the egg pancake and rolled it up. He placed it on a plate and steamed it until cooked. Before serving, he cut it into slices and drizzled some tomato sauce on top.

Checking the time, he added a little oil to the pot, then added the ginger, corn kernels, and carrot pieces, and stir-fried for five minutes. He then added the chicken and pork pieces and cooked for another five minutes, stirring slowly to prevent the bottom from burning. Finally, he added some pepper and sesame oil, mixed well, and let it simmer for a bit.

After about forty minutes, a nutritious and delicious breakfast was ready. He placed a heat pad on the table and brought the pot and omelet to the table. Li Shenxing went upstairs to wake Hyori.

Hyori was lying on the bed, sleeping soundly. Her fluffy hair made her look even more lazy and charming. Li Shenxing walked to the bed, lightened his steps, and lay down beside her. He gently brushed the black hair from her back and kissed her smooth, wheat-colored skin. He liked waking her up this way.

"Bad guy! Your beard is so itchy." She hadn't shaved today, and his kisses on her shoulders and back tickled her. She reached out and touched his face, murmuring. She turned her head and gave him a good morning kiss.

"Get up and have breakfast! I made your favorite century egg and meat porridge." Li Shenxing sat up and said.

Hyori stretched lazily, "Oppa, carry me to the bathroom."

"Lazy cat~!" He kissed her on the lips and carried her to the bathroom. He also needed a shower to wash off the sweat.

Men shower quickly, unlike women who can take forever. So by the time Hyori finished her morning routine, Li Shenxing had also showered and dressed. They went downstairs together to have breakfast.

"The century egg and meat porridge is still so good, and it goes well with the meat omelet." She sipped the porridge and picked up a piece of omelet.

"As long as you like it."

After breakfast, they cleaned up, changed clothes, and went out together.

"Oppa, I'm leaving, bye~!" At the door, Hyori kissed Li Shenxing goodbye and got into the waiting nanny car.

After watching Hyori leave, Li Shenxing also got into his car and drove out.

Today, his plan was to go to Yongdong Traditional Market in Yeonhui-dong. He loved visiting various traditional markets because he often found old, meaningful items there, such as records, books, utensils, and decorations. However, today he had a specific task and wasn't there to treasure hunt.

He found a place to park and entered the market. He was already familiar with the layout, knowing where to find what.

After about half an hour, Li Shenxing came out of the market carrying a large box.

"Phew~! It's so heavy." Sitting in the car, Li Shenxing sighed in relief and took out his phone to make a call.

"Beep... beep... beep... Yo, hello?"

"Mom-in-law, it's me. Are you at home now?"

"Oh~! It's Shenxing. I'm at home, and your second sister is here too." The mother-in-law's tone immediately brightened upon hearing Li Shenxing's voice.

"Second sister is here too, that's great. You said you liked the rice wine I brought and wanted to learn how to make it. I have time today, and I've bought the ingredients and tools. If you're at home, I'll drive over now."

"Good, good, good. We'll be waiting at home. Drive carefully and don't rush." The mother-in-law reminded him.

"Okay, Mom-in-law, I'll be careful. See you soon."

He put away his phone, started the car, and drove towards the mother-in-law's house.

.................................................................................................................

"Ding dong~! Ding dong~! Ding dong~!..."

"Coming~!"

"Click!" The door opened.

"Oh~! Why did you carry so many things by yourself without calling your sister to help? Really." The second sister complained as she saw Li Shenxing carrying a large bag.

"It's fine. Second sister, you can take the small box on top. Be careful not to drop it." Li Shenxing reminded her.

The two of them carried the items into the house.
