Night falls, courtyard, restaurant.
Aunt Zeng helped Lin Miaomiao sit down at the dining table. Several plates of delicious dishes were already placed on the table. Lin Can and Qin Kai were still busy in the kitchen. Lin Miaomiao rested her elbows on the table with her head as she looked at Lin Can, who was wearing an apron and making sweet and sour pork ribs in the kitchen.
"Aunt Zeng, look how focused and loving my Xiaocan is when he cooks for me."
"Yes, yes, he cooks with love, and I can't cook for takeout."
"That's not what I meant. What I meant is... your cooking may be delicious, but it's not tasty because you haven't put any love into it."
"Fuck me... I need to pour love into my cooking? I cook for you every day, pour love into you every day. Your Xiaocan can do this every day. Besides, I'm just a nanny. You're so loving, why don't you give me a raise so I can feel the love too?"
"You're talking about money again. You're really different from Xiaocan. You're after my money, and he's after my...love."
"I'm saying, woman, you have a fever and your brain is damaged. You're talking so confusingly that I can't understand you."
After a while, Lin Can and Qin Kai brought the dishes to the table.
"Xiaocan, come and sit next to your aunt."
Lin Miaomiao pulled Lin Can down to sit next to her, and said, "Xiao Kai, find a seat for yourself."
Qin Kai didn't dare to say much, and silently picked up the bowl to add rice to everyone.
In the Beijing circle, seniority is very important. In front of Lin Miaomiao, Qin Kai is just a junior who serves tea and water.
…
Lin Can picked up a piece of sweet and sour pork ribs and put it on Lin Miaomiao's plate: "I put too much vinegar. Try it and see if it works. If not, I'll make it again for you tomorrow."
"Okay." Lin Miaomiao put on disposable gloves, picked up the sweet and sour pork ribs, nibbled a small piece with her pearly teeth, and nodded. "It's delicious, the flavor is just right, just the way I like it."
Lin Can: "That's good. Just tell me what you want to eat these days. I'll make what I can, and if I can't, I can learn how to make it online."
Lin Miaomiao: "Family is the most reliable harbor, they won't talk to me about money."
Aunt Zeng: ...
Qin Kai: "Aunt Lin, try this stir-fried cabbage, I made it."
Lin Miaomiao shook her head: "I've been avoiding greasy food lately. It's too oily. I like it. Aunt Cancan wants to drink water. Pour her a glass."
Qin Kai: ...
Lin Can poured a glass of milk and handed it to her. Lin Miaomiao drank a few sips very ladylikely and gently wiped the milk from the corner of her mouth with a tissue. Just because of this detail, Aunt Zeng was stunned watching from the side. It was not just that her brain was burned out, but that she was possessed by another body.
I used to drink it in two gulps, burp, and say heartily, "Great!"
Now she chews slowly and carefully, as delicate as Lin Daiyu.
Lin Miaomiao: "It tastes great."
Lin Can: "If it tastes good, drink more. High-calcium milk is good for you."
Lin Miaomiao:!!!
High calcium milk?
The corner of Lin Miaomiao's mouth twitched. In front of everyone, Lin Miaomiao didn't dare to get angry, so she took off one of her gloves, groped under the table, and grabbed Lin Can's thigh fiercely, whispering, "I told you, Auntie doesn't drink high-calcium milk. You are sincere, right?"
Lin Can looked down at the spot under the table where Lin Miaomiao was pulling him, and replied, "Auntie, you pulled the wrong spot!"
“???” Lin Miaomiao took a quick look and was startled. She quickly retracted her hand, blushed, put on gloves and continued to eat the sweet and sour pork ribs.
…
After dinner, Aunt Zeng poured a few cups of tea and sat for a while. Qin Kai said goodbye to Lin Miaomiao and then looked at Lin Can: "A Can, it's still early, want to go out and play for a while?"
Lin Can looked at the time and said, "It's quite early. Aunt Lin, you go back to your room and rest. Brother Kai and I will go play for a while."
"Go...play with women?" Lin Miaomiao calmly picked up the teacup, blew away the foam, and sipped the tea in the cup carefully.
Lin Can walked over to Lin Miaomiao and sat down: "Aunt Lin, you're worrying too much. Brother Kai and I are going out shopping and not doing anything ridiculous."
Lin Miaomiao smiled, her fingers stroking the teacup: "Go ahead, it's not easy to come to the capital, it's a good thing to spend more time with friends."
“???” Lin Can looked at Lin Miaomiao’s smiling expression, not knowing whether it was sincere or against her conscience. He couldn’t understand what she was thinking. Did she want me to go or not?
Lin Can planned to find out her true feelings.
【Confirm to use Eavesdrop (1/5)】
"Sure."
Lin Miaomiao's thoughts are as follows:
"He said he dropped his studies and came to the capital to take care of me, but that was all an excuse. I was terminally ill, but he didn't care. He just wanted to go out and play with Qin Kai. Ha, what a liar! Xiaocan is a big liar."
"Qin Kai, you're the same. Go back to your house if you have nothing to do. Play whatever you want. No one will bother you. Why did you have to bring my Xiao Can along? You want to lead my Xiao Can astray. I'll call his mom and block all his credit cards."
"If Xiaocan goes with him, I won't want you anymore."
“???”
Lin Can was bewildered.
Isn't it just going out to play for a while? Why is she complaining so much?
When women are sick, do they all want someone to accompany them?
Lin Miaomiao smiled and said, "Why don't you go? Go ahead and have fun. I'll just rest at home. It's okay."
"good."
Lin Can stood up and left with Qin Kai without even looking back.
Stomp!
Lin Miaomiao put the teacup on the table, her chest heaving with anger.
Aunt Zeng was confused: "Your nephew is out playing with his friends, why are you so angry as an aunt?"
Lin Miaomiao: "Of course I'm angry. He came to the capital to accompany me. Why would he go off to accompany those scoundrel friends?"
Aunt Zeng was stunned and touched Lin Miaomiao's forehead: "You are sick, you are really sick."
Lin Miaomiao: "Have you washed the dishes? Have you mopped the floor? Have you plugged in the electric blanket?"
Aunt Zeng: "Okay, okay, Miss, calm down. I'll go right away."
…
After a while, the courtyard door closed and Lin Can returned to the restaurant.
Lin Miaomiao smiled again and said, "Did you forget to take something?"
She put on an understanding expression again.
Lin Can sat down next to him: "It's not that I forgot something, it's that I don't want to go. I sent Brother Kai back and came back to accompany you."
"Accompany me, what good is there for me to accompany you, really."
"Are you sick? Besides, I came to the capital just to accompany you. Um... I'll help you go back to your room to rest."
"I'm not going to sleep anymore. I've slept for so long. Can you help me walk along the moat next to the Forbidden City?"
"Of course, I'll get you a coat."
"very nice."
The courtyard is close to the Forbidden City, separated by a moat.
Under the cover of night, Lin Can supported Lin Miaomiao as they walked along the moat.
【Eavesdropping 2/5】
"Xiaocan really didn't disappoint me. She knows that compared to those bad friends, Auntie is the most important. I just misunderstood him. He's not a liar, he's a filial son."
"Are you tired of walking?"
"Yeah, a little."
"Then I'll help you go back and rest."
"I can't walk anymore. You carry me. After all... you said I'm old and have osteoporosis."
“…”
This is what it means to learn and apply immediately.
