Fairy Gourd Farm

Chapter 15 Dinner at Chen Lan's House
As usual, Zhao Lei rode the three-wheeled car very fast, easily passed many battery cars along the way, and occasionally competed with cars that drove slowly.This frightened Chen Lan who was behind, and kept reminding him to slow down.

"Sister Lan, don't worry." Zhao Lei said cheerfully as he rode his bicycle, "It's getting late, and it will be dark by the time you get back to the village!"

Before Zhao Lei finished speaking, the tricycle just passed a small pothole in the road and bounced lightly.Chen Lan, who was behind her, exclaimed in fright, and quickly grabbed the tricycle tightly, so as not to fall off.

Zhao Lei couldn't help showing a silly smile. He just felt that he was more motivated, and subconsciously rode the bike faster. Chen Lan was so frightened that he didn't dare to let go, and held on to the three wheels all the way to the entrance of the village.

Seeing that the village was almost here, Chen Lan gently twisted the soft flesh on Zhao Lei's waist to remind him: "Stop, stop!"

Knowing that the pretty widow was absolutely embarrassed to enter the village like this, Zhao Lei honestly parked on the side of the road.Chen Lan hurriedly got off the car, glared at him coquettishly and said, "Don't ride so fast in the future, it's dangerous!"

Knowing that Chen Lan was also doing it for his own good, Zhao Lei nodded with a smile and said, "I know, Sister Lan."

Just looking at Zhao Lei's expression, he knew that he didn't take his words seriously. Chen Lan glanced at him angrily and said, "It's getting late, do you want to go home and cook?"

"Yes." Zhao Lei nodded and said, "I didn't eat at noon today, I'm starving!"

Chen Lan said: "Anyway, I have to cook when I get home, or...you can go to my place to make do."

Zhao Lei hesitated and said, "This is not very good."

Chen Lan lowered her head and said, "You don't dislike me, do you?"

Seeing that the pretty widow was a little sad, Zhao Lei quickly smiled and said, "Why would you dislike me? I'm too happy to have dinner with a beautiful woman like you. I'm just afraid of troublesome for you."

Hearing Zhao Lei boast that she was a beautiful woman, Chen Lan also blushed pretty, lowered her head and whispered: "Any beautiful women are already old women. I also cook by myself, so don't bother."

Chen Lan said so much, Zhao Lei certainly would not refuse, and said with a smile: "Okay, I will return the tricycle to Uncle Hu first, and then I will go to your house for dinner!"

"Okay, I'll wait for you at home!" Chen Lan smiled at Zhao Lei, and hurried home to make dinner.

Looking at Chen Lan's receding back, Zhao Lei couldn't help but mutter to himself: "Wait for me at home... This kind of statement really makes people think about it!"

But Zhao Lei also knew that Chen Lan was not that kind of casual woman.So he quickly stopped thinking about it and returned the tricycle to Hu Qiang and his wife first.

Zhao Lei was arrested by Wang Fang at Hu Qiang's house, and was mentally bombarded by her starting with "Aunt Wang didn't say you..." and left in embarrassment almost half an hour later.

Seeing that the sky had completely darkened, Zhao Lei hurried to Chen Lan's house and knocked lightly on the courtyard door.

The pretty widow quickly opened the door to welcome Zhao Lei in, and she gave him a coquettish look in the yard and said, "Why is it so late, I thought you weren't coming!"

Chen Lan waited for Zhao Lei while cooking at home. Seeing that the meal was almost ready, he didn't come. She thought Zhao Lei looked down on her and regretted not coming.Just when the pretty widow was complaining about herself, Zhao Lei suddenly arrived unexpectedly, which made her reveal a bit of a child's sweetness while being pleasantly surprised.

Chen Lan was already pretty, but now she looked a little coquettish, which made Zhao Lei's eyes straighten.

Chen Lan immediately noticed Zhao Lei's abnormality, felt that she was indeed too close to him, and quickly coughed lightly: "There is one last dish, you have to rest for a while, and the meal can be served right away!"

Zhao Lei also came back to his senses, and said with a smile: "I'm too embarrassed to come here to eat, how can I let you work alone, where is the kitchen? I'll help too!"

Chen Lan didn't object, and asked Zhao Lei to help serve the rice, while she went to the stove to scramble eggs.However, the kitchen of Chen Lan's house is very small, and she usually lives alone, so she doesn't think much of it.Now that both of them are busy in the kitchen, it is inevitable that it will be a little crowded.

Zhao Lei packed his dinner and went out, so he had to squeeze past Chen Lan sideways, and the two of them couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed.

It's midsummer now, and both of them are wearing very thin clothes. Zhao Lei doesn't want Chen Lan to misunderstand that he is deliberately taking advantage of her.Of course, he didn't dare to stay for too long, so he quickly inhaled as much as possible to absorb his stomach, tried to distance himself from Chen Lan, and quickly slipped past her.

The two were so close, even with Chen Lan's back turned to Zhao Lei, she already felt a little distracted, and even subconsciously held her breath.

However, at this moment, Zhao Lei suddenly squeezed hard, and the flustered Chen Lan staggered involuntarily. At this moment, he couldn't even stand upright, and the whole person threw himself forward.

Chen Lan was still holding a cooking shovel in one hand, and instinctively pushed forward with the other hand as she couldn't stand still.The pretty widow was scrambling eggs, but there seemed to be a hot oil pan in front of her.In this way, she was pressing her hand into the hot pot. If she really supported it, she would definitely be severely burned.

Fortunately, seeing Chen Lan falling forward, Zhao Lei quickly put the rice bowl on the stove, stretched out his arms from behind like lightning, and gently supported the pretty widow.

Chen Lan's pretty face was just a few steps away from the wok, and the heat made her cheeks burn.Only then did the pretty widow realize that if Zhao Lei hadn't made a timely move, she would have been injured by now.

However, just as Chen Lan breathed a sigh of relief, she immediately found that Zhao Lei's powerful arms were tightly supporting her, so hard that she could hardly breathe.

At this moment, the pretty widow's heart was beating even harder than before, she quickly stood up straight, patted Zhao Lei's arm lightly, and said in a barely audible voice: "You still want to let go?"

In all fairness, Zhao Lei really only wanted to hold Chen Lan to prevent her from getting hurt at first, but later he couldn't help being distracted, and immediately let Chen Lan go.

After being reminded by Chen Lan, Zhao Lei came back to his senses, knowing that it was not good for him to keep supporting Chen Lan like this.Especially the pretty widow had already spoken, and if she didn't let go, she would be suspected of being a hooligan, so he quickly let go, picked up his job and walked out.

Zhao Lei let go of himself so simply, which also made Chen Lan very satisfied with his character after being surprised.If he changed to another man, he would definitely take advantage of her. If Zhao Lei did the same to Chen Lan, it would undoubtedly make her very disappointed.

Chen Lan is a married woman, so she naturally understands how much perseverance Zhao Lei needs to do this, and she can't help smiling when she looks at his back.Then the pretty widow didn't know what to think of, and the pretty face was immediately covered with a layer of red clouds, and she looked more and more beautiful.

Despite an awkward scene in the kitchen, the two returned to normal as they ate.Chen Lan's cooking skills are very good. Although they are just a few home-cooked dishes, Zhao Lei can't stop praising them.Seeing him wolfing down the food, Chen Lan felt even happier.

After dinner, Zhao Lei wanted to help Chen Lan clean up the dishes, but the pretty widow politely refused and asked him to go home quickly.

Zhao Lei knew that this was because Chen Lan was afraid of being seen gossiping, so naturally he would not embarrass her, so he left soon.

Zhao Lei recalled the scene that happened in the kitchen, and couldn't help showing a smile. He quickened his pace and walked towards his home. When he was approaching the gate of the yard, he seemed to feel something and stopped immediately.
