After Ning Youguang finished applying her face mask.
Shi Wangyue’s family version of "Winter Heartwarming Homemade Rice Noodles" was also ready.
The two finally had a steaming hot dinner before ten in the evening.
Today’s rice noodles, Shi Wangyue added wood ear mushrooms, tofu skin, tofu, oyster mushrooms, spinach, and shrimp that Ning Youguang loved...
Making the originally famished Ning Youguang forgive instantly upon seeing the rice noodles on the dining table.
"Did you put vinegar for me?" She eagerly picked up chopsticks and started eating.
"I did," Shi Wangyue said, "We didn’t have table vinegar, only white vinegar, so I added a little. Try it, see if it’s okay?"
Ning Youguang picked up a piece of spinach and put it in her mouth, immediately tasting the sour and spicy flavor on her tongue.
She gave Shi Wangyue a thumbs-up, "It’s good."
After all, she didn’t know how Shi Wangyue managed to make white vinegar taste nothing like white vinegar at all.
Must be a talent.
After finishing the spinach, she asked, "Are you working overtime tomorrow? If not, let’s find time to go to the supermarket."
For Ning Youguang, rice noodles without vinegar are incomplete.
Recently, as the weather turned cold, their dinners often consisted of rice noodles with various ingredients and porridge rice.
When eating these, she definitely needs to add vinegar.
Rice noodles and porridge rice without vinegar lack that refreshing zest.
Shi Wangyue nodded, "Do you have other plans for tomorrow?"
"Yes, I need to make some beauty ointment and pills for a senior sister," Ning Youguang replied, "A senior sister had acne due to various pressures a while back, recently it cleared up but left scars all over her face. She went to a beauty salon for laser treatment a couple of days ago, but it didn’t work, so today she came to ask if anyone in the office had any acne product recommendations. Seeing the scars on her face, I thought it might be more reliable for me to make her some ointment."
Thinking of the senior sister troubled by her face.
Ning Youguang wanted to quickly make the ointment and pills for her.
Because she was really in a pitiful state.
Her senior sister’s original words were, "The anesthetic hurt like hell, and when they did the laser treatment, I even smelled burnt skin, it was simply torturous. Let me tell you, yesterday when I was lying on the massage bed at the beauty salon, smelling my own skin burning, I felt like I was lying in an incinerator!"
She also asked Ning Youguang, "Didn’t you say that when people die, their consciousness doesn’t leave immediately, and lingers for days, in that case, won’t the ghosts of those cremated feel the burning flesh smell, similar to the laser scorching skin?"
"Senior sister, your imagination is really unique." Ning Youguang, stunned for a moment, humorously and helplessly gave a thumbs-up to her quirky senior with a cratered face and acne scars asking the question.
"I haven’t seen any answers in related literature."
Judging by my own experience, I haven’t experienced it either.
Truly bold to ask, and bold to answer.
The other senior sisters discussing skincare topics with them laughed uncontrollably at their conversation, "Ning, junior sister, you are unique too."
Because of this, that senior sister was frightened, and no longer had the courage to go for a second laser skincare treatment at the beauty salon.
"Need any help?" Shi Wangyue understood.
"No need," Ning Youguang smiled, "I can do it myself."
"How long will it take to finish?"
"It’ll take a few days, on and off," making ointments isn’t exhausting, just tedious.
She hadn’t done it for a while.
Fortunately, home has all the tools and materials needed.
The conditions for making ointment and pills were sufficient.
"Are you planning to stay home to make ointments this entire weekend?" Shi Wangyue frowned slightly.
Seeing the other party seem not very pleased with her plans.
Ning Youguang immediately asked, "Do you have any plans?"
Shi Wangyue sighed, "The day after tomorrow is Christmas."
Ning Youguang froze, "I forgot."
Recently, she’s been busy and hasn’t gone shopping for a while, so she didn’t feel the festive Christmas atmosphere in the city.
Although she sees Christmas trees in shop windows and streets on her way to and from work, knowing Christmas is coming, she didn’t realize this year’s Christmas is the day after tomorrow.
Shi Wangyue sighed longer, "I even asked you last week how you’d want to spend Christmas."
"Hmm," with his reminder, Ning Youguang finally remembered such a thing, "Tomorrow let’s wake up early and go to the plant market to buy a Christmas tree."
She recalled telling him, "I hope this Christmas, we don’t go anywhere, just stay at home and decorate a small, elegant Christmas tree with string lights."
Shi Wangyue knew that when Ning Youguang gets busy, she easily forgets matters that aren’t very urgent.
He wasn’t truly upset.
"No need," he said, "I’ve already bought a Christmas tree, it arrived this afternoon."
"Wow! Where is it?" Ning Youguang was thrilled, "I want to see it."
"No rush," Shi Wangyue held Ning Youguang down as she prepared to get up and see the tree, "Let’s finish eating first, then I’ll take you to see it."
"Is it in the garden?" Ning Youguang sat back down.
Though she wasn’t eager to run over now, her heart flew with curiosity, "What kind of tree did you buy?"
"Blue Spruce," Shi Wangyue said.
"I love you so much."
In spring and summer, Blue Spruce’s leaves are blue-green with a silver sheen, in winter the leaves are silver-gray-blue.
Through all seasons, regardless of change, its leaf color is beautiful and striking, bringing joy at first sight, along with a profound sense of serene comfort.
When someone touches its leaves, they emit a gentle fragrance, naturally forming tower or sphere shapes without trimming.
Therefore, Ning Youguang always felt Blue Spruce was a perfect Christmas tree.
"Let’s eat." Shi Wangyue’s eyes contained laughter, yet his mouth sternly reminded.
From time to time, he would put on a serious leader-like attitude when she needed managing.
Ning Youguang was long accustomed to it.
Seeing him serious, she didn’t ramble on about the Christmas tree question.
Instead, she accelerated her eating pace.
Ning Youguang had the habit of eating the side dishes first before the main food when eating noodles and rice noodles.
Shi Wangyue wasn’t like that; he would eat the main food first, then the side dishes.
Ning Youguang couldn’t tell if the other person was waiting for her to finish her side dishes so there’d still be some for her to eat after, or if his habit was eating the main food first then the side dishes.
Today was no different.
When Ning Youguang finished the last piece of side dish, tofu skin, and was about to grab noodles, she found an extra shrimp in her bowl. 1314
