Chapter 54
Seeing that Ming Yunle was eating well, Ruan Yan said, "You really aren't picky about food."
Ming Yunle said: "Yes, especially when you are hungry, of course you just need to eat until you are full."
Ming Yunle took another bite. Ruan Yan watched him eat and felt that his appetite had improved.
Although I was hungry, it was a bit late, so I ate in moderation and only stopped when I was 60% to 70% full.
Ming Yunle ate faster than Ruan Yan and finished first.
They used two bowls, and Ruan Yan washed them after the meal.
Ruan Yan dried his hands, took off his apron, looked at Ming Yunle and asked, "Do you want to take a shower first?"
Ming Yunle looked at his watch and said, "It's too early to take a shower and go to bed. Besides, we just finished eating. It's not a good time to sleep. Let's go play a few games of chess."
They hadn't played a few games of chess when Ming Yunle stood up first.
He stood up a little too quickly, and after passing Ruan Yan, Ruan Yan looked at his back and asked, "What's wrong?"
Ming Yunle said, "I'm thirsty. Pour me a cup of hot water. Do you want one?"
"Have a drink."
Ming Yunle handed the water to Ruan Yan and said, "We haven't had any water all afternoon. No wonder I've been so thirsty since just now."
"It seems we were so engrossed in our conversation that we forgot to even drink water, let alone eat."
Ming Yunle said, "When I'm chatting with you, I always feel that time flies by. It seems that before I know it, an entire afternoon has passed."
The bedroom light was turned on and Ming Yunle took a book.
He didn't sit on the bed, but on the sofa near the bed.
Ruan Yan asked, "Why are you sitting on the sofa?"
Ming Yunle said, "I'm almost done reading this book. I'll finish it in a while, then put it back and get another one."
"Then why don't you just read it in the study or get a couple of copies?"
"It's not a big deal."
It was only a little after nine o'clock, and although they had planned to read, they realized it was too early.
Ming Yunle put down the book and asked, "How about we think about what to eat tomorrow night?"
Ruan Yan smiled and said, "You want it now? It's not tomorrow yet."
"Don't we usually spend a lot of time thinking about dinner? Let's just decide it the day before next time."
Eating is a big deal, so they often discuss it, sometimes for more than half an hour.
We were discussing this yesterday morning and almost had another argument.
They mentioned a dish and had a disagreement when discussing how to make it delicious.
Because of what staple food to serve with this dish, a new round of disagreement started, and we almost forgot about the main business.
Later they remembered that they were originally discussing what to eat for lunch.
It seems that I not only missed dinner today, but also almost missed lunch.
Ming Yunle said this, thinking of what happened at lunch, and said, "Let's eat the food from lunch tomorrow night. Didn't I fail at lunch? I need to find an opportunity to prove my ability."
Ruan Yan smiled and said, "Okay."
Ming Yunle: "It seems I still need to put the recipe next to the dish I'm cooking. I actually remembered the wrong amount. In fact, I felt something was wrong when I put it in, and sure enough, I made a mistake.
"It's not bad actually. It's not really a rollover."
Ming Yunle said, "The taste has changed, and this isn't considered a failure? One dish has been decided, but where's the other one?"
Ruan Yan planned to use their old method.
Ruan Yan picked up the cookbook on the cabinet and flipped through it casually.
After that, Ruan Yan laughed out loud.
He handed the book to Ming Yunle and said, "How about making two identical ones?"
Ming Yunle took the book and saw the dish that had caused him trouble at noon today.
Maybe he had been on this page for a while, so Ruan Yan turned to it immediately.
Ming Yunle said, "This one doesn't count."
Ruan Yan flipped through it again and found a cold dish. He asked, "What about this?"
"This is fine, let's do this." Ming Yunle had no objection this time.
Ruan Yan asked again: "It's set for evening, what about lunch?"
Ming Yunle: “…”
Ming Yunle was speechless. Why would he think about dinner first and not lunch? There was no gradual process at all.
Seeing Ming Yunle choked, Ruan Yan smiled and said, "If you want to eat together at noon, let's go out."
"OK."
The two chatted for a while about the restaurant they went to a few days ago.
I originally thought it was still early to go to bed, but when I looked at the time, I realized that I could hardly finish reading the book in Ming Yunle's hand.
Ming Yunle said, "The conversation is over. I want to read a book."
Seeing that he was still sitting on the sofa, Ruan Yan said, "Come up first. It seems you won't have a chance to read the next book today."
Ming Yunle took off his slippers and got into bed. Ruan Yan asked, "I remember you don't read books you haven't read before going to bed. Is the book you're going to get the one you've read?"
"Yes, it's the one we read last time we went to the library. Didn't I also buy a copy and put it in your study?"
"It seems my recommendation was quite successful."
They talked a little more about the book's contents, and when the topic started to stray, Ming Yunle quickly said, "Stop talking, I won't be able to finish it soon. I've noticed that when we video chat before bed, we always do our own things, but when we get together, we always go off topic."
Ruan Yan: "Yeah, it seems a little bit. Please read it quickly, I'm afraid you won't be able to sleep if you don't finish it."
After saying this, Ruan Yan made a gesture of zipping up his mouth, indicating that Ming Yunle could start.
Ming Yunle picked up the book and started reading, and Ruan Yan also picked up the book he had chosen long ago.
The bedroom suddenly became quiet, with only the sound of them turning pages.
Ming Yunle's biological clock is very accurate. He yawned after finishing reading the book.
Ruan Yan also heard Ming Yunle yawning. He looked at the time and it was exactly eleven o'clock.
Ruan Yan put the book down and said, "Your biological clock is amazing."
Ming Yunle put the book on the bedside and curled up in the quilt, saying, "I'm going to sleep. Good night."
Ming Yunle is probably the one who can fall asleep as soon as he touches the pillow.
Ruan Yan just got up to go to the bathroom. After washing his hands, he didn't even have time to turn off the light when he saw Ming Yunle was already asleep.
Ruan Yan: “…”
In fact, Ruan Yan felt that his sleep quality was already quite good, but he still felt envious every time he saw Ming Yunle sleeping.
Ruan Yan turned off the light only after he finished reading the unfinished part of the book.
When Mingyun was happy, Ruan Yan was still lying in bed.
This time, Ruan Yan did not hold Ming Yunle back from leaving, but lay on the bed for a while.
Ruan Yancai sat up after Ming Yunle finished washing up. He was still lying on the bed in a daze, not moving at all.
Ming Yunle watched with interest for a while, then went downstairs to prepare breakfast.
It is a fixed rule that whoever gets up early prepares breakfast, but despite this rule, Ming Yunle always prepares it.
He always woke up about ten to twenty minutes earlier than Ruan Yan, and started daydreaming earlier than Ruan Yan.
They usually eat simple breakfast, an ordinary sandwich is enough, so it is also easy to prepare.
After breakfast, Ming Yunle returned to his studio at home, and Ruan Yan went to the study upstairs.
In the end, they didn't have lunch together. It was already four o'clock in the afternoon when Ming Yunle came back.
He sent a message to Ruan Yan, and learned that Ruan Yan had not gone out to buy anything today, and had brought back some ingredients for dinner.
Not only the ingredients for dinner, but also some of the missing items were made up.
When Ming Yunle came back, Ruan Yan had just finished taking a shower and his hair had just been blown dry, hanging softly on his face.
Seeing Ming Yunle carrying a bunch of things, he lent a hand: "Did you buy so much? I thought you only bought ingredients for tonight. If I had known this, I would have gone with you."
Ming Yunle opened the refrigerator, pointed to the empty refrigerator, and said, "The refrigerator is empty, so I bought some more."
Ming Yunle was indeed putting ingredients in at the beginning. After putting the ingredients in, Ruan Yan saw him putting in box after box of ice cream.
"This flavor...did you bring me the flavor I like?"
"Yes, I brought it. I found out that they were out of ice cream yesterday, so I bought some."
Now that the weather is getting warmer, they occasionally eat some ice cream, but they don't eat much, so they don't buy much.
Ming Yunle shook the ice cream in his hand and said, "I brought you four boxes. Four for you and four for me."
Ming Yunle raised his head and said, "Did I forget to tell you that I'm going to make some cold noodles this summer? I've collected several recipes for making cold noodles, and I'm going to try them all this summer."
"Suddenly interested?" "Yeah."
Ruan Yan thought for a moment and said, "Could it be Xia Chen who brought it up again?"
"You guessed it all."
After hearing Ming Yunle say this, Ruan Yan showed an expression that said, "I knew it."
Ming Yunle was wearing a little too much and took a while to pack up. It was a bit hot and he wanted to have some ice cream.
The ice cream was taken out of the freezer, but Ming Yunle thought about it and decided to forget it as it was almost time for dinner.
Ruan Yan saw Ming Yunle take out the ice cream and put it back, and finally started to tie her apron. He asked, "You really don't need my help?"
"Need not."
After saying that, Ming Yunle hesitated and said, "You should just hand me the recipe."
Ruan Yan: “…”
Ruan Yan went upstairs to get the recipe and soon returned to the kitchen.
He then flipped the recipe to the page Ming Yunle needed and was about to hand it over, but seeing that it was not convenient for him, he asked, "How about I find a place to fix it for you?"
"That's not the case. I just want to confirm it."
Ming Yunle made this dish for the first time yesterday, otherwise he wouldn't have remembered it wrong.
This is only the second time. He made a mistake last time, so of course he has to confirm it again this time.
It would be embarrassing if I failed twice in a row.
Ming Yunle was much smoother this time, and it only took half the time as last time.
Even if Ming Yunle didn't ask Ruan Yan for help, Ruan Yan would not leave.
Later, when he saw that Ming Yunle had finished cooking, he went to prepare cold dishes.
Although they discussed making cold dishes last night, he didn't really just make cold dishes.
Ruan Yan rummaged through the refrigerator and added a dish that they all liked.
Ruan Yan worked very quickly. While Ming Yunle was waiting for the dishes to be ready, he had finished both of his dishes, and even served them on the table earlier than Ming Yunle's.
