"Did you forget something, or are you just hungry and want to remind me it's time to stock up?" Once the head chefs in the kitchen had left, this guy became shameless, spouting off whatever came to mind without a filter.
I gave him a cold look and leisurely said to him, "Yu Rongling is still in the box."
Yu Longting took off his gloves and put them away properly.
He scooped me up in his arms and walked out of the kitchen, heading upstairs, "Why worry about him? Have you fallen for him and started to like him instead?"
"Why do you always talk nonsense, Yu Longting, you...how annoying!" I frowned, feeling very wronged.
How could he even joke about such things?
Yu Longting's deep, dark eyes gazed at me intently, tucking my head into his chest, "Do you like me so much that you can't even take a joke? My dear Wanwan, how can you be so adorable?"
Yu Longting, if one day I could retrieve my own Love Soul.
The first thing I want to tell you is that I like you, I really, really do...
"Stop it, Yu Rongling is hurt. It's not good to keep him trapped all the time." I rubbed my face against his chest, attempting to charm him for the sake of Yu Rongling's safety.
This time, Yu Longting agreed readily, "Okay."
Back in the room, two suitcases still lay unopened beside us.
We had just returned to the restaurant during peak hours.
Beichen was away on business.
Xiao Li and Chen Decheng were frantically busy.
Yu Longting and I had barely set down our luggage when we immediately rushed to help.
The restaurant was doing well now, and the money we earned was enough to afford better wages and additional staff.
Chen Decheng and Chen Shufen didn't hire more people, not because they begrudged the money.
On the contrary, they were quite generous with me and Xiao Li, paying us a salary of five thousand yuan a month.
They were reflexively trying to protect me, not wanting to bring outsiders in, for fear of upsetting the current equilibrium with more people and more gossip.
"Why did you only let me out now? Don't you know I'm afraid of the dark?"
As soon as I unlocked and opened the suitcase, the Green Snake inside raised its head, looking pitiful.
This made me irresistibly think of the movie I saw on the plane.
Were the White Snake and Green Snake actually a pair??!
No, no, no, why am I thinking such dirty thoughts?
If Yu Longting finds out, he'll never forgive me...
I hurriedly gathered my scattered thoughts and patted Yu Rongling's head, "Good boy, there was too much going on in the restaurant today, and I forgot to let you out for a while."
I could only lie to him ; I couldn't tell the fragile Little Green Snake.
That it was his own brother who deliberately kept him locked up.
Suddenly, Yu Longting lifted my hand and placed it on top of his head.
That amused look in his eyes clearly said that head-patting was his exclusive right, not to be shared with anyone else.
Okay, I underestimated the possessiveness of snakes.
"If you had let me out earlier, I could have helped with work, too. I don't break dishes anymore," Yu Rongling said, sniffling and transforming into his Human Form.
He looked as if the spine had been pulled out of him, lying weakly on the floor.
I took out the materials to make clothes, cut a piece of yellow fabric on the spot, and embroidered it with the pattern of a Thousand-Year Snow Lotus and a special healing incantation, "I came up with this myself. It's a fabric that can heal demon clans because it's a Forbidden Technique. These pages were torn from my father's notebook, but I researched in the Lin Family Library and found talismans for treating demon clans, and that's what inspired me. I don't know if it will work, but you're my first guinea pig."
"Thank you, sister-in-law, you're so kind to me. I am willing to be your guinea pig. I also believe in your abilities, you're sure to heal my injury," Yu Rongling glanced at the medical brace on my left hand, "Did you hurt your hand? When did this happen?"
