"You really are putting on a show," Murong commented, as he watched Chi Yan’s movements.
Murong downed two large bowls in succession.
Su Yinhe was focused on the drama and didn’t realize that Chi Yan was thinking about all sorts of bizarre things by himself.
Chi Yan fed her a piece and ate a piece himself; it was fortunate that Murong wasn’t around to shout about dog abuse again.
His timing was just perfect. As soon as Su Yinhe finished the drama, the fruit was also just finished.
Everything was just so perfect.
He always had great control over timing.
"Does it taste good?" Chi Yan asked her.
Su Yinhe still had the last piece of watermelon in her mouth.
She chewed it—the watermelon was sweet, juicy, and delicious. "It tastes good."
"Do you like it?" he asked again.
"I like it, of course, I like it. How could I not like it?"
"Then I’ll make another one next time. Or, I can go make a few more now and store them in the fridge, and when you want to eat, just take them out..."
"No need, no need, you...don’t need to make so much. Don’t overwork yourself. I’d feel really bad."
"It’s not hard work, just cutting some fruit. How could it be hard?" Chi Yan stroked her hair.
"I know, it’s just... I care about you," Su Yinhe said coyly.
Chi Yan’s gaze on her deepened.
"Okay, thank you. I really... really like you." He always felt this way; how could he not like her? He was falling for her more and more.
He really wanted, really wanted to keep her all to himself.
But he couldn’t do that, as it would make her unhappy.
He didn’t want her to be unhappy, he wanted her to do anything that made her happy.
"Ah...how come...another sudden confession? It’s a bit embarrassing," Su Yinhe touched her face, feeling it heat up.
"I don’t know. Maybe it’s because..." I like you too much.
Because I like you too much, I can’t help myself, love is 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 lightly.
"Okay, I’ll listen to you."
Murong strolled around and ended up here anyway.
Fortunately, the timing of his stroll was still okay, and he didn’t witness anything.
But it was still a close call.
"Why, Galaxy, you’re really enjoying yourself, aren’t you? With dramas, snacks, milk tea, and a man. If I’m not mistaken, there’s also an empty fruit plate," Murong said, glancing at Chi Yan.
His last comment was quite sarcastically clear.
"Hehe, it’s alright. After all, I’m the boss, right? If I don’t enjoy, who will?" Su Yinhe raised her eyebrows at him.
"Hmm...what are you doing?" Su Yinhe, seeing Murong acting weird, couldn’t help asking.
Yes, the plate that held the fruit.
"Me? I didn’t get to eat anything, can’t I even smell it?" Murong was quite mournful.
Alright, that’s another story she didn’t know about.
Su Yinhe glanced at Chi Yan.
The two of them, what happened again?
"Nothing, his brain is just abnormal." Although Su Yinhe didn’t say anything, he knew what she wanted to say, her expression said it all.
Hmm, it’s confirmed, both are not quite normal.
A huge supermarket, and she’s the only normal person.
They are all not normal.
Only she is the most normal.
"You’re the one who’s not normal, Brother Chi! You falsely accuse people!" Lin Murong was furious, he didn’t even get to eat the fruit plate, and now he’s being slandered by Chi Yan.
"Whether it’s slander or not... you know it yourself," Chi Yan said emotionlessly.
It seems... it really isn’t slander.
He can’t argue but still feels indignant.
"No way, you’re slandering me, apologize! Otherwise, I’ll... I’ll..." Lin Murong stammered for a while but couldn’t finish.
"Heh. Take your time then."
"Hey! Su Yinhe! Do something." Lin Murong had no way to deal with Chi Yan, so he turned to Su Yinhe.
Su Yinhe: "..." She didn’t really have any solutions.
She can’t just... confront Chi Yan. Besides, she didn’t want to confront him.
Su Yinhe’s eyes darted around before deciding to target Lin Murong.
"Lin Murong, do you want to eat some fries?"
Lin Murong: "??? Yeah..." Lin Murong was a bit hesitant when he said that.
It wasn’t because he was too full to eat more, he eats fast and digests quickly.
He could eat right away.
But, the way Su Yinhe asked scared him.
"Okay, then go peel the potatoes. I’ll make fries for you once you’re finished," Su Yinhe gave him a heart sign.
"You’d actually make them?!!!" Lin Murong let out a shrill scream.
"Yeah, aren’t you touched?" Su Yinhe blinked at him.
"Touched, absolutely touched," Lin Murong was a bit scared, "But, actually, I can not eat them." It’s not that he didn’t want to peel the potatoes, he was just scared.
"Don’t eat? Why not eat? Why would you not eat? Eat! You must eat! How can you not eat. I’m personally making the fries, and you’re saying you don’t want to eat?" Su Yinhe looked displeased.
"But... I wouldn’t dare to trouble our boss to personally do it. This small task, I can do it myself. I don’t actually love fries that much." He didn’t like them in the first place.
Lin Murong felt like crying.
"No way, you love them now. Wait for me to make them." Su Yinhe patted his shoulder.
"Ah... okay." Lin Murong looked dejected, he now had a very bad premonition.
"Good boy. Go peel." Su Yinhe gestured a heart at him.
He really didn’t want to eat fries anymore.
But Su Yinhe forced him to want them.
And he couldn’t resist.
Lin Murong obediently went to peel the potatoes.
Su Yinhe thought she was very clever, effortlessly preventing a quarrel.
But, after sending Lin Murong to peel potatoes, she forgot about Chi Yan.
Once Lin Murong left, Chi Yan became unhappy.
"You’re making fries for him?"
"Ah, yes. What about it?"
"I don’t approve," Chi Yan was visibly upset.
"Why? It’s just making fries."
"You haven’t made them for me. You made them for him first," Chi Yan was really displeased.
"Ah, but... um... you... don’t eat that kind of stuff." Those kinds of food, fried, Chi Yan hated the most.
"I may not like them, but you made them." Anything made by Galaxy, he liked.
"You... cough cough cough." Su Yinhe was a bit embarrassed again.
"So... once I’m done, you can have them first, Lin Murong can have what’s left," Su Yinhe suggested a solution.
Chi Yan was still not quite satisfied.
