Chapter 131 Why Can't It Be Me?
Lu Yinzhao's drinking today did have some impact.
The two strolled around outside for an hour, and Lu Yinzhao became extremely sleepy.
The effects of the alcohol were taking him a little too long to kick in. Right now, he didn't want to walk a single step; all he wanted to do was lie sprawled out on the soft, fluffy bed.
Seeing that Lu Yinzhao's eyelids were drooping, Bian Ji said softly, "I bought a house on Xuefu Road. Do you want to sleep there tonight?"
At this moment, Lu Yinzhao's mind wasn't quite quick enough. Five seconds after hearing those words, she finally replied, "Huh? You bought a new house again? You're really rich..."
"..."
Bian Ji remained silent for a while, then stepped on the gas and headed straight for his new house.
That neighborhood is close to Huaxing University, and Bian Ji was actually preparing it for Lu Yinzhao.
If Lu Yinzhao doesn't want to stay in the dormitory, it's okay to stay here occasionally. Anyway, the round trip isn't long, and even if Lu Yinzhao has class the next day, she can still get up in time in the morning.
With this temporary resting place, Bian Ji no longer needed to stay in a hotel when he wanted to find Lu Yinzhao, unlike before.
Lu Yinzhao was led to a keypad door without his knowledge.
"Put your finger on it and let us record your fingerprint."
"oh."
The bewildered boy obediently did as instructed.
After hearing a long "beep," the fingerprint recording was complete.
"You can come anytime you want in the future," Bian Ji said.
Lu Yinzhao belatedly realized that he should tell his roommate that he wouldn't be going home tonight.
He took out his phone and slowly opened the group chat for room 506.
[Mr. Lu]: I'm going home tonight, no need to leave the door open.
[Pine Leaf]: Oh no! Am I all alone? Those two went to an internet cafe for the whole night, and I'm still all alone! [crying.emoji]
[Xu the Great Scholar]: What do you mean by "staying up all night"... that sounds so rude! We're just learning!
[Pine Leaf]: Internet cafes are so noisy, what's the point of studying!
[Little Koi Carp by the River]: The strong never complain about their environment. [Adjusting glasses.jpg]
Pine needles: ...
Lu Yinzhao ignored the chat in the dormitory group and put his phone away after sending the message.
I briefly visited Bian Ji's new home; it has three bedrooms, two living rooms, and two bathrooms, and is quite spacious.
This is what happens when you have too much money and nowhere to spend it...
Just because it's close to their school, the big shot bought a property?
It seems that Bian Ji has made a lot of money from music copyright fees over the years.
He knew that Bian Ji must have bought this place with his own money, not with his family's money.
Lu Yinzhao has saved up quite a bit of money, but he simply loves making and saving money, though he doesn't spend it much.
Perhaps I was used to being poor in my past life. Even though I have no worries about food and clothing in this life, I still enjoy the pleasure of money coming in, and... just seeing the numbers in my bank account gives me a great sense of security.
"You're sleeping in this bedroom with the bathroom. You can barely keep your eyes open. Go wash up and rest." Bian Ji pointed to the room.
"Okay, brother, you should get some rest too."
"Um."
Lu Yinzhao was the first person to enjoy the bathtub in Bianji's new house. He soaked in the water and breathed a satisfied sigh.
He shouldn't get so caught up in this good life. If he gets used to living here, how will he ever be able to go back to the dorm?
After taking a shower, Lu Yinzhao put on the change of clothes that Bian Ji had given him in advance.
Bian Ji was very thoughtful; this new home even had clothes that fit his size.
After Lu Yinzhao dried her hair, there was another knock on the door.
"Drink this before you go to sleep." Bian Ji stood at the door and handed him a bowl of soup.
"What is this?" Lu Yinzhao took the small bowl.
"It can speed up the breakdown of alcohol in your body, which is good for your health."
While Lu Yinzhao was taking a bath, Bian Ji personally cooked a hangover soup. The house was fully equipped with all kinds of supplies, and whatever one wanted was readily available.
The soup is made by stewing dried tangerine peel, kudzu flower, and ginger. It can regulate qi, calm the mind, break down alcohol, and relieve headaches.
Even if Lu Yinzhao has a high alcohol tolerance, alcohol still has a negative impact on the body, and Bian Ji hopes he can get a good night's sleep.
Lu Yinzhao finished his drink in one gulp, smacked his lips twice, and said, "Thanks, brother."
Sleep well, goodnight.
...
Lu Yinzhao lay in bed, thinking she could fall asleep instantly, but that wasn't the case.
He was very sleepy, but the cells in his brain were still very active, thinking about all sorts of things that had happened that day, with countless images running wild in his mind.
That young man, who always sat elegantly and calmly at the piano composing music, actually punched someone today for his sake...
The contrast before and after is too great.
Lu Yinzhao felt as if today was the first time he had met Bian Ji.
To be precise, this was the first time I realized that Bian Ji had such a ruthless side.
Lu Yinzhao tossed and turned on the bed in frustration.
Sigh, this was something I should have handled myself, but instead, Bian Ji was exposed to such scoundrels.
This fight should be his turn to fight...
Lu Yinzhao had been in fights before in his previous life. Because the children in their orphanage did not have parents, they were often bullied outside. He had once taught a few scoundrels a lesson on behalf of the younger children in the orphanage. Although he had some bruises on his face, he won the fight and the other party dared not provoke them again.
Who would have thought that a prestigious university like Huaxing would produce such dangerous and inhuman individuals?
Lu Yinzhao has been civilized for so many years, he never even considered using force to solve the problem.
But some people need to be beaten up before they'll come to their senses; otherwise, they'll really become lawless.
If Ge Yinghao had only been harassing him, Lu Yinzhao wouldn't have been so angry.
But since it involved Bian Ji, it just wouldn't work.
They even secretly took photos of him and Bian Ji leaving a love hotel. Lu Yinzhao didn't believe that the other party wouldn't use these photos to make a fuss in the future.
This insidious peeping tom deserves to be cursed for life!
Lu Yinzhao cursed Ge Yinghao a hundred times in his heart.
May this person fail their exams, trip and fall while walking, step in dog poop, be struck by lightning for being pretentious, and ideally, have their family go bankrupt...
Lu Yinzhao mentally cast all sorts of misfortunes upon himself, and under this curse, he drifted off to sleep.
I dream of chasing after someone with a 40-meter-long machete and hacking them down.
When Lu Yinzhao woke up the next day, he found that his sheets were wrinkled and his pillow and blanket had fallen to the floor.
Did he do a set of military boxing exercises in bed after he fell asleep last night?
He forgot what he dreamed about, but it must have been something really enjoyable.
After a good night's sleep, Lu Yinzhao was full of energy again. She got out of bed, tidied up the bed, and went to the bathroom to wash up.
After leaving his room, he saw that his breakfast had already been laid out in the dining room, while Bian Ji was leisurely sitting to the side using his laptop.
Lu Yinzhao leaned over and took a look; it was a music production software he couldn't understand.
This guy really never stops creating!
"If breakfast gets cold, just heat it up. The microwave is in the kitchen." Bian Ji's eyes were fixed on the computer screen, but she could still keep an eye on Lu Yinzhao's situation.
"It's okay, it's still warm. Brother, did you make all of this? When did you learn to cook?" Lu Yinzhao was surprised.
"When I was studying in country Y, I learned by myself. My cooking is not very good, but it is not bad either. As long as it can fill my stomach, it is fine."
Lu Yinzhao imagined some scenes, and guessed that Bian Ji must have suffered a lot abroad.
In a culinary wasteland like Y country, they even forced the young master of the Bian family to learn how to cook. That's quite something.
"Actually, I can cook too. Let me make you a delicious meal for lunch today, okay?"
Lu Yinzhao used to know how to cook, and after coming to this world, he tasted many delicacies, which further enhanced his sense of taste.
Many people who know how to eat well also have a good grasp of cooking.
Subconsciously, they know what seasonings to add to the dish, and they also understand the taste of various seasonings mixed together.
"Okay, do you need me to help out?" Bian Ji asked.
"No need, no need, brother. You just wait and enjoy the food. It's time for me to show my true strength." Lu Yinzhao raised his fist to cheer himself up.
"There are some ingredients in the refrigerator. Tell me what else you need and I'll come and buy it."
Lu Yinzhao opened the refrigerator and glanced inside. "This is enough. We don't need to buy any more."
"Okay, then I'll look forward to your lunch."
Bian Ji didn't know when Lu Yinzhao learned to cook; it was probably during the six years he was abroad.
Missing these traces of the other person's growth brings both regret and a sense of relief.
The little boy who used to stick close to him has gradually grown into an increasingly outstanding young man who no longer needs much care from others.
At least in terms of being able to cook, I'm better than many people.
Bian Ji watched with satisfaction as Lu Yinzhao bustled around the kitchen like a little bee.
One moment she was busy cutting meat, the next she was washing vegetables in the sink.
At this moment, time seemed to slow down, and happiness took on a concrete form.
The emotions that suddenly arose last night have returned.
I want to stand by his side... I want to shelter him from the wind and rain... I want to...
Together forever.
If in the future, there will definitely be someone standing beside Lu Yinzhao, becoming the young man's companion, someone who will walk hand in hand with him for a lifetime.
Why can't it be yourself?
My thoughts were ripped open, and more and more emotions overflowed from within.
"oops!"
A gasp shattered the illusion, and the slow-motion footage returned to its real-time flow.
Bian Ji suddenly stood up and went over. "What's wrong?"
Lu Yinzhao covered his eyes with the back of his hand, "These onions are so spicy, the smell is too strong, I can't even open my eyes."
Bian Ji led him to the sink. "Wash your hands and rest for a bit. What do you need to cut? Just tell me."
Lu Yinzhao pursed his lips, but still agreed.
I had said before that I would operate it alone, but I didn't expect that Bian Ji would find an opportunity to assist me.
"Onions, green peppers, and tomatoes are the only ones that haven't been chopped."
"Okay, I'll cut it."
Lu Yinzhao paused for a moment, her eyes no longer hurting, and joined in, "Let's do it together, I'll boil the water and make the soup."
In the time that followed, the two worked together seamlessly in the kitchen. Although it was their first time working together in the kitchen, their coordination was as harmonious as if they had done it countless times before.
By the time the final three dishes and soup appeared on the table, it was already noon.
"Try this braised fish. I don't make this easily. See if you like it."
Bian Ji picked up a piece of fish and put it in her mouth, nodding and raising the corners of her mouth, "Delicious, very fresh and flavorful."
"Then eat more. I bet you can't get these kinds of food abroad. I made some home-style dishes that go well with rice today. You work so hard, you have to eat well. Many celebrities have stomach problems, you can't have one."
"Will you make it for me whenever I want to eat it in the future?" Bian Ji asked casually.
“Of course, I’ve never shown these skills to anyone else before, you’re the first.” Lu Yinzhao proudly held his head high.
"It's only for me to eat," Bian Ji said firmly without asking any more questions.
“Sure!” Lu Yinzhao replied without a care in the world.
While eating with my head down, I was completely unaware of the deep, lingering gaze of the person opposite me.
