Chapter 502: hand-grabbing pancake
Lin Murong’s hand-grabbing pancake didn’t appeal to Su Yinhe at all, she even felt a bit nauseous.
"I don’t know why, I just started to like it." Lin Murong said as he gobbled down the Green Bean Cake.
While Su Yinhe was engrossed in her drama, she had no idea what kind of strange thoughts Chi Yan was entertaining all by himself.
Chi Yan fed her a piece and ate one himself, fortunately Lin Murong wasn’t around, otherwise he’d surely exclaim in mock horror at such a display of public affection.
His timing was perfect, as Su Yinhe finished watching her show, the fruit platter was also polished off.
Everything was just perfect.
He’d always been excellent at managing time.
"Is it tasty?" 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. "It’s tasty."
"Do you like it?" he asked again.
"I like it, of course I like it. How could it be possible not to like it?"
"Then I’ll make some for you next time. Or, I could make a few more now, and put them in the space. When you feel like having some, just take them out..."
"No need, no need, you... don’t need to make so much. Don’t work too hard. It makes me feel guilty."
"It’s not hard work, just cutting some fruits, how could it be tiring." Chi Yan stroked her head.
"I know, it’s just, I feel bad for you," Su Yinhe cooed.
Chi Yan’s gaze deepened as he looked at her.
"Okay, thank you. I really... like you a lot." He always treated her so well, how could he not like her. He was growing fonder of her by the minute.
He longed, so much, to keep her all to himself.
Only for him to see.
No one else was allowed to.
She was his, and his alone.
But he couldn’t do that, she wouldn’t be happy.
He didn’t want her to be unhappy, he wanted her to do whatever she wished. To be happy.
"Ah... why... are you spontaneously confessing now, it’s pretty embarrassing." Su Yinhe touched her face, feeling it heat up.
Really now.
"I don’t know. Maybe because..." Because he liked her too much.
Because he liked her too much, he often couldn’t hold back, the love was hard to restrain.
"Fine, fine, fine, I get it, I know what you’re going to say. Don’t say it." She... was embarrassed. Really embarrassed.
Chi Yan watched her and let out a soft chuckle.
"Okay, as you wish."
Lin Murong, wandering around, still found his way here.
Fortunately, his timing was okay, and he didn’t stumble upon them.
But it was a close call.
"Yo, Galaxy, you’re really enjoying yourself, huh? Drama, snacks, milk tea, and a man. And if I’m not mistaken, an empty fruit plate." Lin Murong said, glancing at Chi Yan.
His last remark was unmistakably sarcastic.
Su Yinhe: "..."
"Heh, it’s all good. After all, I’m the boss, right? If I don’t enjoy myself, who will?" Su Yinhe raised an eyebrow at him.
Lin Murong: "..."
That’s...actually correct?
"Uh... what are you doing?" Su Yinhe asked, unable to restrain her curiosity at the sight of Lin Murong’s peculiar behavior.
Lin Murong was actually...
Smelling the plate.
Yes, the one that had held the fruit.
Was it that fragrant?
What a weird hobby.
"Me? I didn’t get to eat any, so what’s wrong with taking a whiff?" Lin Murong responded with melancholy.
Su Yinhe: "..."
Well, there was another backstory she didn’t know.
Su Yinhe glanced at Chi Yan.
There must have been something happened between those two.
"It’s nothing, he’s just not right in the head." Though Su Yinhe hadn’t spoken, Chi Yan knew what she wanted to say, it was clear from her eyes.
Su Yinhe: "..."
Hmm, it’s confirmed, both are a bit off their rockers.
In this huge supermarket, she was the only sane person.
The rest were nuts.
Only she was the model of normality.
"You’re the abnormal one! Brother Chi, you’re slandering me!" Lin Murong was angry—the fruit plate he hadn’t even tasted was one thing, but now he had to put up with being slandered by Chi Yan.
That’s too much.
"Slandering or not... You know it yourself," Chi Yan said expressionlessly.
Lin Murong: "..."
It seemed... it really wasn’t slander.
But still...
He was not rational but still felt emboldened.
No matter what.
"No way, you are slandering, and you have to apologize! Otherwise, I will... I will..." Lin Murong struggled to finish his sentence.
"Heh. Take your time trying," Chi Yan mocked.
"Hey! Galaxy! Do something about this," Lin Murong, having no way to deal with Chi Yan, turned to Su Yinhe for help.
Su Yinhe: "..." She didn’t really have a solution, did she?
She certainly couldn’t... confront Chi Yan. Besides, she didn’t want to confront him.
Su Yinhe’s eyes darted around, settling on making Lin Murong her target.
"Lin Murong, want some fries?"
Lin Murong: "??? Sure..." He spoke hesitantly.
It wasn’t because he was too full to eat more; he ate fast and digested quickly.
He could eat again soon.
It’s just that the way Su Yinhe asked sounded ominous to him.
"Okay, then peel some potatoes. I’ll make fries for you after that," Su Yinhe gestured a heart shape with her hands toward him.
Lin Murong: "???"
"You’re going to make them yourself?!!!" Lin Murong shrieked.
"Yeah, touched, aren’t you?" Su Yinhe winked at him.
"Touched, incredibly so," Lin Murong said with a hint of fear, "But actually, I could go without eating them." It wasn’t that he didn’t want to peel potatoes; he was just somewhat afraid.
"Not eat? Why not? What gives you the right not to eat? Eat! You must eat it for me! How can you not eat? I’m making fries especially for you, and you don’t want to eat them?" Su Yinhe looked unhappy.
"But...I wouldn’t dare to trouble our boss to go through the effort. It’s just a small task; I can do it myself. I’m not that fond of fries." He really wasn’t.
Lin Murong wanted to cry.
"No way, you love them now. Wait until I make them for you," Su Yinhe patted his shoulder.
"Ah... okay, then." Lin Murong looked dejected, sensing a bad premonition.
"Good boy. Go peel them," Su Yinhe gestured a heart again.
Lin Murong: "..."
Damn it.
He really didn’t want fries anymore.
But Su Yinhe was forcing him to want them.
It was infuriating.
And he couldn’t even resist.
Lin Murong obediently went to peel the potatoes.
Su Yinhe felt she was quite clever, as she avoided a quarrel without any fuss.
However, in sending Lin Murong to peel potatoes, she had forgotten about Chi Yan.
As Lin Murong left, Chi Yan became unhappy.
"You’re making him fries?"
"Ah, yes. What’s the matter?"
"I don’t agree," Chi Yan was displeased.
"Why? It’s just fries."
"You haven’t made any for me. You’re making them for him first," Chi Yan was very discontent.
"Ah, but... um... you... you don’t eat this kind of stuff, do you?" Fried food, the least favorite kind for Chi Yan.
"I don’t like it, but it’s you who’s making it." Everything made by Galaxy was his favorite.
"You... cough cough cough." Su Yinhe was a bit embarrassed again.
"Well... when it’s ready, you eat first, and Lin Murong can have the leftovers," Su Yinhe proposed a solution.
Chi Yan was still not quite satisfied.
