Su Yinhe focused on watching the drama, unaware of the strange things Chi Yan kept thinking to himself alone.
Chi Yan fed her a piece, then ate one himself. It was lucky Lin Murong wasn’t here; otherwise, he’d be shouting "Dog abuse!" again.
His timing was just perfect. Just as Su Yinhe finished the drama, the fruit was also just finished.
Everything was just right.
He had always had good control over timing.
"Tastes good?" Chi Yan asked her.
Su Yinhe still had the last piece of watermelon in her mouth.
She chewed, finding the watermelon sweet, juicy, and delicious. "Tasty."
"Do you like it?" he asked again.
"Like it? Of course, I like it. How could I not?"
"Then I will make another one for you next time. Or, I can go make a few more now, store them, and whenever you want to eat, just take them out..."
"No need, no need. You... don’t need to make so much. Don’t overexert yourself. I’d feel really bad."
"It’s not hard, just cutting some fruit. How could that be hard?" Chi Yan said, stroking her head.
"I know, just, I feel for you," Su Yinhe cooed.
Chi Yan’s gaze deepened.
"Okay, thank you. I really... like you a lot." Always so perfect, how could he not like her. He was growing fonder by the minute.
He really wanted to, desperately wanted to keep her locked up.
For him alone to see.
No one else was allowed.
She was his and his alone.
But, he couldn’t do that, she would be unhappy.
He didn’t want her to be unhappy; he wanted her to do whatever she wanted to do. Happy and carefree.
"Ah... why... suddenly confessing, it’s quite embarrassing," Su Yinhe touched her face, feeling it heat up.
"I don’t know. Maybe because..." I like you too much.
Because he liked her too much, he couldn’t help it. Love was hard to restrain.
"Okay, okay, I get it, I know what you’re about to say. Don’t say it." She... felt embarrassed. Really embarrassed.
Chi Yan looked at her and chuckled lightly.
"Alright, as you wish."
Lin Murong strolled around and still ended up here.
Luckily, his timing was okay and he didn’t interrupt them.
However, it was also quite close.
"Yo, Galaxy, you’re really enjoying it, huh? Drama, snacks, milk tea, and a man. If I’m not wrong, there’s also an empty fruit plate," Lin Murong said, glancing at Chi Yan.
His last remark was noticeably sarcastic.
"Heh, it’s fine. After all, I’m the boss, right? If I don’t enjoy, who will?" Su Yinhe raised an eyebrow at him.
"Um... what are you doing?" Su Yinhe, seeing Lin Murong’s weird behavior, couldn’t help but ask.
Lin Murong, he was actually...
Yes, the one that had had the fruit.
"Me? I didn’t get to eat, so I can’t even take a sniff?" Lin Murong sounded quite dejected.
Great, another story she didn’t know about.
Su Yinhe glanced at Chi Yan.
Those two, something had happened again.
"Nothing, his brain just isn’t right," though Su Yinhe didn’t speak, he knew what she wanted to say. Her look said it all.
Yep, confirmed, both not quite right.
In such a huge supermarket, she was the only normal person.
Everyone else was abnormal.
Only she was the most normal.
"You’re the abnormal one! Brother Chi, you’re slandering me!" Lin Murong got angry, it was one thing not getting to eat the fruit platter, but being slandered by Chi Yan was too much.
That’s crossing the line.
"Whether it’s slander or not... you know it yourself," Chi Yan said expressionlessly.
It seemed... it really wasn’t slander.
He might not have a valid argument, but he still felt indignant.
"No way, it’s slander, you apologize! Or else I... I will..." Lin Murong stuttered for a while, unable to finish his threat.
"Heh. Take your time," Chi Yan responded nonchalantly.
"Hey! Galaxy! Help me out here," Lin Murong, unable to deal with Chi Yan, turned to Su Yinhe for help.
Su Yinhe: "..." She didn’t really have any solution either.
She definitely couldn’t... face off against Chi Yan. Besides, she didn’t want to confront him either.
Su Yinhe’s eyes darted around, and she decided to take action against Lin Murong.
"Lin Murong, do you want some fries?"
Lin Murong: "??? Sure..." He replied hesitantly, not because he was too full to eat, but because Su Yinhe’s offer sounded strangely ominous.
"Alright then, go peel the potatoes. Once they’re peeled, I’ll make you fries," Su Yinhe showed him a heart sign with her fingers.
"You’re going to make them yourself?!!!" Lin Murong shrieked.
"Yeah, aren’t you touched?" Su Yinhe winked at him.
"Touched, so touched, truly touched," Lin Murong said fearfully, "But actually, I don’t need to eat them." It wasn’t that he didn’t want to peel potatoes; he was just a bit scared.
"Not eat? Why not? What gives you the right not to eat them? Eat! You must eat them for me! How could you not eat them? I’m personally going to make you fries, and you don’t want to eat?" Su Yinhe looked displeased.
"But... how can I dare have our boss personally make them for me? I can handle this little task myself. And I don’t really love fries that much." He really didn’t like them to begin with.
Lin Murong felt like crying.
"No, now you love them. Wait for me to make them," Su Yinhe patted his shoulder.
"Ah... okay," Lin Murong looked despondent, having an ominous premonition.
"Good boy. Go peel them," Su Yinhe showed him another heart sign with her fingers.
He really didn’t want the fries anymore.
But Su Yinhe was forcing him to want them.
And he couldn’t even resist.
Lin Murong obediently went to peel the potatoes.
Su Yinhe felt pretty clever, averting an argument without making a scene.
But, in sending Lin Murong off to peel the potatoes, she had forgotten about Chi Yan.
As soon as Lin Murong left, Chi Yan wasn’t happy.
"You’re making him fries?"
"Ah, yes. What’s the matter?"
"No, I don’t agree," Chi Yan was visibly upset.
"Why? It’s just making some fries."
"You never made them for me. You made them for him first," Chi Yan was not pleased.
"Ah, but... well... you... don’t you dis kind of food?" This kind of food, fried stuff, was what Chi Yan liked least.
"I don’t like it, but it’s you who’s making it." Chi Yan liked anything made by Galaxy.
"You... cough cough cough." Su Yinhe felt a bit embarrassed.
"So... once I’m done, you eat first, and Lin Murong can have the leftovers," Su Yinhe suggested a solution.
Chi Yan still wasn’t quite satisfied.
