Chapter 501: Hard work
"You’re working too hard; you should eat more to make up for it." Su Yinhe served Lin Murong some food.
"I don’t know, I just fell in love." Lin Murong spoke as he popped Green Bean Cakes into his mouth.
Su Yinhe was engrossed in the drama, completely unaware of the weird things Chi Yan was thinking to himself.
Chi Yan fed her one; he ate one. It’s a good thing Lin Murong wasn’t there, or he would have screamed ’dog abuse’ again.
His timing was perfect; Su Yinhe finished the drama just as they ate the last of the fruit.
Everything was just right.
He was always good at timing.
"How does it taste?" Chi Yan asked her.
Su Yinhe still had the last piece of watermelon in her mouth.
She chewed, the watermelon was sweet, juicy, and delicious. "Tasty."
"Do you like it?" he asked again.
"Yes, of course I like it. How could I not?"
"Then I’ll make you another one next time. Or, I can make a few more now, and store them in the fridge for when you want to eat..."
"No, no need, you... don’t need to do that much. Don’t strain yourself. I would feel bad."
"It’s not hard, just cutting some fruit, how could it be hard?" Chi Yan stroked her head.
"I know, it’s just... I feel for you." Su Yinhe acted coquettishly.
The look in Chi Yan’s eyes deepened.
"Okay, thank you. I really... like you a lot." Always so perfect, how could he not like her? He was growing more fond of her.
He really wanted, really wanted to lock her away.
Just for him to see.
No one else was allowed to look.
She was his alone.
But, he couldn’t do that, it would make her unhappy.
He didn’t want her to be unhappy, he wanted her to do whatever she wanted to do. To be happy.
"Ah... Why... another sudden confession, it’s a bit embarrassing." Su Yinhe touched her face, feeling it warm up.
Really.
"I don’t know. Maybe it’s because..." I like you too much.
Because he liked her too much, he couldn’t hold back; love was hard to restrain.
"Okay, okay, I get it, I know what you’re going to say. Don’t say it." She... was embarrassed. Really embarrassed.
Chi Yan looked at her and chuckled softly.
"Alright, as you wish."
Lin Murong strolled around and ended up coming here anyway.
Luckily, his timing was okay, and he didn’t run into them.
But, it was a close call.
"Wow, Galaxy, you’re really enjoying yourself, with dramas, snacks, bubble tea, and a man. If I’m not mistaken, you probably have a cleaned-out fruit plate too," Lin Murong said, glancing at Chi Yan.
His last sentence was particularly sarcastic.
Su Yinhe: "..."
"Heh, that’s okay. After all, I’m the boss, right? If I don’t enjoy, who will?" Su Yinhe raised an eyebrow at him.
Lin Murong: "..."
Well, that’s... correct?
"Uh... what are you doing?" Su Yinhe couldn’t help asking Lin Murong as she noticed his strange behavior.
Lin Murong actually...
was...
sniffing the plate.
Yes, the fruit plate.
It smells that good?
What a weird hobby.
"Me? I didn’t get to eat, isn’t smelling it okay?" Lin Murong looked resentful.
Su Yinhe: "..."
Okay, another story she didn’t know.
Su Yinhe glanced at Chi Yan.
The two of them, what happened again.
"Nothing, his brain’s just not right." Although Su Yinhe didn’t speak, he knew what she wanted to say; her eyes made it clear.
Su Yinhe: "..."
Hmm, diagnosed, both aren’t quite normal.
A huge supermarket, and she’s the only normal person.
They’re all not normal.
Only she is the most normal.
"You’re the one who’s not normal! Brother Chi, you’re falsely accusing me!" Lin Murong was angry; he hadn’t even gotten any fruit from the fruit plate, and now he was being slandered by Chi Yan.
That’s too much.
"Whether it’s slander or not... you know yourself," Chi Yan said expressionlessly.
Lin Murong: "..."
Actually... it might not be slander at all.
But...
He couldn’t reason, yet he still felt indignant.
It didn’t matter.
"No, it is slander, apologize! Otherwise, I will... I’ll..." Lin Murong stuttered without finishing his threat.
"Heh. Take your time thinking about it."
"Hey! Galaxy! Do something." Lin Murong, unable to deal with Chi Yan, turned to Su Yinhe.
Su Yinhe: "...I don’t really have a solution either."
She couldn’t just... confront Chi Yan. Besides, she didn’t want to confront him.
Su Yinhe’s eyes shifted, and she decided to target Lin Murong.
"Lin Murong, do you want some fries?"
Lin Murong: "??? Sure..." Lin Murong said hesitantly.
It wasn’t because he was too full to eat; he ate quickly and digested quickly.
He could eat very soon.
It was just that the way Su Yinhe asked sounded somehow terrifying.
"Okay then, go peel the potatoes. Once you’re done, I’ll make you fries." Su Yinhe gave him a heart gesture.
Lin Murong: "???"
"You’re making it personally?!!!" Lin Murong shrieked.
"Yeah, touched, aren’t you?" Su Yinhe winked at him.
"Touched, really touched," Lin Murong was somewhat scared, "But, I actually don’t have to eat it." It wasn’t that he didn’t want to peel the potatoes, he was just a bit scared.
"Not eat? Why not eat? Why wouldn’t you eat? Eat! You have to eat for me! How can you not eat? I’m personally making fries, and you don’t want to eat?" Su Yinhe looked quite displeased.
"But... I dare not bother our boss with such trivial matters. I can do it myself. I’m not that fond of fries anyway." He never really liked fries.
Lin Murong felt like crying.
"No, you love them now. Wait for me to make them." Su Yinhe patted his shoulder.
"Ah... okay then." Lin Murong wore a mournful expression; he now had a very bad feeling.
"There you go. Go peel." Su Yinhe gave him another heart gesture.
Lin Murong: "..."
Damn.
He really didn’t want fries anymore.
But Su Yinhe was forcing him to want them.
Damn it.
And he couldn’t even resist.
Lin Murong obediently went to peel the potatoes.
Su Yinhe felt very clever, quietly avoiding an argument.
But, as soon as Lin Murong was sent off to peel potatoes, she had forgotten about Chi Yan.
Once Lin Murong left, Chi Yan became unhappy.
"You’re making fries for him?"
"Ah, yeah. What’s the matter?"
"No, I don’t agree," Chi Yan was very unhappy.
"Why not? It’s just fries."
"You never made them for me. You made them for him first," Chi Yan was very upset.
"Ah, but... well... you... don’t eat this kind of stuff, right?" These kind of foods, fried, Chi Yan liked the least.
"It’s not about liking; it’s about you making them." Chi Yan would like anything made by Galaxy.
"You... cough, cough, cough." Su Yinhe was a bit embarrassed again.
"Well... when I’m done, you eat first, Lin Murong can have the leftovers." Su Yinhe proposed a solution.
Chi Yan still wasn’t quite satisfied.
