"What?" The newcomer's lips curled slightly upward, but his tone was feigned displeasure. "Can't I come?"
"No...of course not..." Jiang Li muttered, her tone slightly smug, "This is your home, you can come whenever you want, how could I dare say no?"
"That sounds so nice." Lu Shiyan reached out and pinched Jiang Li's cheek. "But Jiang Jiang's tone doesn't sound like she's welcoming me at all!"
He paused for a moment, then continued, "Since that's the case, I won't bother Jiang Jiang any longer. I'll head back now."
Jiang Li: "???"
What does this jerk mean? Is he going to start acting all dramatic with her now?
It takes an hour to drive here from Ayan's company.
Come and go...
Is this hour just for fun?
Don't you find it tiring?
"I...I didn't say you were bothering me..." Jiang Li said in a muffled voice, then as if she had thought of something, she replied angrily, "This is your house. You can unlock it with your fingerprint or enter a password to come in. Why did you have to knock on the door and make me open it?"
It's going too far to delay her meal!
“Although this is my house, it’s you, Jiang Jiang, who lives here now. What kind of talk would it be if I just came and went as I pleased?” Lu Shiyan replied matter-of-factly. “After all, when you live alone, you don’t care about so many things. What if I come in and see something I shouldn’t see? You might have to kick me out!”
Lu Shiyan's words made Jiang Li's face turn red again.
She glared at Lu Shiyan, embarrassed and annoyed. "I've always been upright and honest in my actions. What could I possibly be hiding from you?"
"What if Jiang Jiang forgets to bring clothes when she takes a bath?" Lu Shiyan gave Jiang Li a suggestion. "You live alone, so you probably won't care that much. If you come out to get your clothes and I just open the door without a care, wouldn't that be a freebie for me?"
Jiang Li followed Lu Shiyan's train of thought and imagined that scene.
Ahhh...
Jiang Li couldn't help but let out a scream like a groundhog inside her.
That scoundrel...
That's outrageous!!!
What kind of nonsense is going on in my head every day!
"Shut up! Don't think nonsense!" Jiang Li said angrily, then she pulled Lu Shiyan into the house and closed the door behind her.
After doing this, she pressed Lu Shiyan against the door again and said fiercely, "Thank you for the reminder, Mr. Lu. I will put a few more sets of pajamas in the ring space later. If the possibility that you mentioned really happens, it won't affect me at all."
Lu Shiyan sighed softly, "That's... a real pity."
Jiang Li: "!!!"
What a pity, you big dummy!
Jiang Li glared angrily at Lu Shiyan again, then took two steps back and sat down at the table.
I'm ignoring that jerk now, eating is the priority!
As she picked up her chopsticks, Jiang Li paused, then asked Lu Shiyan in a muffled voice, "Have you had dinner yet?"
Lu Shiyan straightened his clothes, which had been wrinkled by Jiang Li, and answered slowly, "I didn't have dinner. Jiang Jiang, would you like to treat me to dinner?"
"Anyway, you're the one who had it delivered, so how could I not let you, the master, eat it?" Jiang Li glared at Lu Shiyan again, her eyes now sore from staring. "But if you keep dawdling, there won't be any left for you after I finish eating."
Lu Shiyan quickly stepped forward and sat down opposite Jiang Li.
Those exquisite foods still look beautiful at this moment.
Jiang Li was too lazy to make a fuss, so she decided to eat the food as is, since it was still in the box.
Lu Shiyan picked up a box and rummaged through it.
They found a few candles.
The candles are beautiful and can stand directly on the table without a candlestick.
Lu Shiyan lit the candles and then turned off the lights.
The candlelight, with its ambiguous warm hue, instantly added a touch of romance to the air.
Jiang Li looked displeased. "Why did you light that candle? Without a light, I can't even see the food in the box."
Lu Shiyan: "..."
Is my future wife allergic to romance?
With a sigh, Lu Shiyan replied innocently, "These candles are a free gift. Wouldn't it be a waste not to use them? They'll save electricity, so why not use them?"
Jiang Li: "..."
That makes some sense.
But for some reason, something just feels off.
Moreover, through this dim light, she couldn't even see Ah Yan's face clearly.
They could see his Adam's apple very clearly.
Jiang Li couldn't help but swallow, and suddenly had a strong urge to bite Lu Shiyan's Adam's apple.
At once……
I'm starting to lose control.
It was only when Lu Shiyan's voice rang in her ears that her reverie was interrupted, "Why aren't you eating? Is the food not as tasty as it looks?"
Jiang Li's eyes widened for a moment, and she subconsciously said, "Uh... it doesn't look as delicious as you."
"Wh...what?" Lu Shiyan looked stunned, for a moment thinking he had misheard.
Is this something Jiang Jiang would say?
Jiang Li realized what she had said and was filled with shame and indignation.
She quickly added, "I mean, the one in front of me doesn't look as delicious as the one in front of you! I want to switch with you!"
Lu Shiyan: "..."
He knew it! How could Jiang Jiang, that stubborn person with absolutely no romantic sense, possibly say something like that…
Words with color.
"Okay, I'll change it for you." Resignedly, she moved the food in front of her to Jiang Li's side. "Tell me which one you like, and I'll have someone bring it to you next time."
This shop is relatively close to the university town, and he hadn't taken Jiang Li to eat there before.
Now that Jiang Li is living here, he can let her try all the delicious food here.
"Mmm." Jiang Li nodded absentmindedly, trying to shift her attention from Lu Shiyan to the food.
Once she started eating, Jiang Li, being a foodie, completely forgot about Lu Shiyan.
Beauty...
Nothing smells better than delicious food.
Jiang Li ate with great relish, while Lu Shiyan leisurely ate his food, watching Jiang Li's satisfied expression, and the corners of his lips unconsciously turned up.
He couldn't control himself and fed the food in front of him to Jiang Li's lips.
Jiang Li didn't stand on ceremony and ate with great relish.
After finishing his meal, Lu Shiyan tidied up the table briefly and then sat down on the sofa.
Jiang Li was about to turn on the light when Lu Shiyan stopped her, saying, "The candle hasn't finished burning yet. Turning on the light now would be a double waste."
Jiang Li: "..."
Why haven't I seen you so frugal before?
Lu Shiyan patted the spot next to him, "Jiang Jiang, come sit down."
Jiang Li pouted, "Why wasn't it you who came?"
"I've had a long day at work, and then I drove all this way..." Lu Shiyan's tone was pitiful, clearly trying to gain sympathy from Jiang Li, "I'm tired..."
That pitiful look softened Jiang Li's heart a little.
By the time she came to her senses, she was already sitting next to Lu Shiyan.
Lu Shiyan stretched out his restless hands and pulled her into his arms.
Jiang Li: "..."
Another day of being tricked by that jerk!
