Chapter 43 Cooking

Shen Yi noticed Lin You's gaze and retracted his hand.

Lin You put on his slippers and asked, "Why don't you treat the wound? Don't you have any burn medicine at home?"

"It's just a minor injury, nothing serious."

Shen Yi placed the flowerpot on the windowsill and adjusted the direction of the flowers. When he was satisfied, he smiled and nodded.

Lin You followed and said, "The owner of the flower shop said that orchids don't like sunlight and can't be exposed to direct sunlight. They need to be placed in a cool place."

Shen Yi was stunned for a moment after hearing this, and then moved the flower pot to the table next to him.

Lin You asked again, "Do you have any burn medicine at home?"

Shen agreed with her insistence, and felt warm in his heart. He went to the utility room and took out a medicine box.

Lin You found the burn ointment in the box. "We clearly have medicine at home, why don't you use it? I just said you were careful, but now it seems you are really careless with yourself."

She kept on mumbling for a long time, but Shen Yi remained silent.

He lowered his head and watched her carefully apply medicine on her with a cotton swab. The person in front of him had not seen her for several years, and her appearance had not changed much, but her personality remained the same.

He smiled and said, "I'm a man. I can't cry like a girl just because I get hurt."

Lin You raised his head and said sternly, "It's not the same thing. If you're injured, you have to deal with it. It has nothing to do with gender or bravery."

Seeing that she was serious, Shen Yi immediately gave in, “Senior sister is right. If I get hurt in the future, I will definitely handle it properly.”

Hearing this, Lin You frowned, "Quick, bah, bah, bah, there's no way you'll get hurt next time. Stop saying such unlucky things. Take good care of yourself in the future and don't get hurt."

Shen Yi chuckled and pouted twice as she requested.

After treating the wound, Lin You packed up the medicine box.

It was getting late, so she stood up and said goodbye.

Shen Yi's eyes flashed with reluctance, and then he raised his head and put on an aggrieved expression:

"Senior, can you eat something with me?"

Lin You was startled, and then thought of a possibility. He asked in shock, "You haven't finished your meal yet, have you?"

Shen Yi said nothing.

Lin You raised his hand to support his forehead, angry at his son for not fighting back, and feeling deeply guilty.

"I'm sorry, I didn't keep my promise."

When she thought of Shen Yi being alone in a strange city and having no one to celebrate with after moving, she had mustered up the courage to invite her, whom she was not very familiar with, but who knew she would break the appointment.

Even she felt that her behavior was very bad!

Lin You rolled up his sleeves and said, "Sit on the sofa for a while. Are there any ingredients in the refrigerator?"

Shen Yi had a smile on his face, “Yes.”

Instead of sitting on the sofa and waiting obediently, he followed her into the kitchen.

Lin You looked at the ingredients in the refrigerator and turned around to ask, "Can I make tomato and egg noodles?"

"Okay." Shen Yi didn't know what he was thinking of, his face full of joy.

Lin You was busy, and seeing him standing at the door, she chatted with him for a while.

"My cooking skills are average, and I may not be as good as yours, so don't be disgusted."

She still remembered the tomato and egg noodles that Shen Yi simply made for her when she met him again last time. The taste was almost as good as that of a professional chef.

Shen Yi's eyes followed her busy figure, "Senior sister, don't be modest. The tomato and egg noodles you make are the most delicious in the world."

Lin You laughed when he heard this. "You're so nice to hear that. You haven't even eaten it yet, and you're already saying that what I make is the best in the world. I reasonably suspect you're flattering me."

Shen Yi muttered something quietly, but Lin You didn’t hear it clearly, and when he asked him again, he didn’t say anything.

Lin You doesn't care about any details.

Hot noodle soup was served, only one bowl.

Lin You took off her apron and sat across from him, answering his doubts, "I've eaten."

Shen Yi took a photo with his phone and posted it on WeChat Moments before picking up his chopsticks and coming out.

He ate with great satisfaction and touched, with a dazzling light in his eyes.

Lin You felt uneasy watching this, and couldn't help but sigh: "It's just a bowl of noodles, you don't have to be like this, you look like you're about to cry."

Shen Yi lowered his head and said jokingly: "If I wasn't afraid that you would laugh at me, I might really cry."

Lin You thought he was joking and said casually, "It's rare that someone can appreciate my cooking skills. If you want to eat it, I will make it for you again in the future."

"Then it's settled!"

Shen Yi's eyebrows and eyes were all smiling, and he was full of the smile of a sunny boy. If she were a few years younger, she would definitely not be able to resist this charm.

Shen Yi ate a bowl of noodles, and after his appetite was satisfied, his eyes became profound.

He looked at Lin You with burning eyes and asked tentatively, "Senior sister... when you first moved here, was there anyone celebrating with you?"

The smile on Lin You's face gradually disappeared, and his pupils suddenly became empty.

After a long time, she forced a smile and said, "No. I encountered some problems at that time and didn't want to see anyone."

Like a turtle, she hid herself in a one-foot square shell, never seeing the sun.

Shen Yi's hand on his knee curled up for a moment, then he raised his hand and touched Lin You's head.

"Senior, don't be afraid. From now on in this city, at least we have each other to take care of each other."

*

Lin You returned home and only realized after washing up that Shen Yi had just touched her head.

"No respect for elders!"

She muttered something and burst into laughter again.

Snuggling into the quilt, Lin You picked up his phone to relax before going to bed.

She watched some short videos and browsed her Moments. When she saw the familiar tomato and egg noodles, she paused.

Above the picture, Shen Yi added a text.

"Already trapped in darkness, yet still wanting to give others a warm light, how can one not love such tomato and egg noodles."

Lin You didn't realize that although Chen Yi looked tall and big, he actually had the soul of an artistic youth in his bones.

He praised a bowl of noodles in many different ways.

She chuckled and gave a thumbs-up.

Before I exited WeChat, a message suddenly burst in, and a small red dot suddenly appeared on the message list.

When Lin You saw Shi Jingyuan's profile picture, she curled her lips, hesitated for a long time, and then clicked on the message.

What he sent was a video file. The file was very large and in the 5G era, it took more than ten seconds to download it.

While waiting for the download, Lin You's thoughts wandered, and he recalled a piece of social news he saw a few days ago.

It is said that the boss of a certain company could not bear the loneliness late at night, so he sent pornographic videos to harass his female subordinate. Finally, he was reported by the female subordinate and was given a silver bracelet and a free suite as a one-stop service.

Lin You felt that although Shi Jingyuan had all the bad habits of a capitalist, and said he was pursuing her, he was actually using threats, which made her very ashamed.

But to be honest, he shouldn't be that kind of boss.

The video prompts that the download is complete.

With doubts, she clicked on the video.

The scene in the video looked very familiar, with gentle warm light and beautiful music. Wasn't it the French restaurant where she and Shi Jingyuan had dinner?
