Chapter 67 Waiting for you to cook noodles for me
Ye Bai was busy in the kitchen, and he seemed to have nowhere to put the two vegetables in his hands.
Han Jianye crossed his hands and leaned against the refrigerator door with a smile on his lips. His eyes followed Ye Bai's movements of cooking noodles closely, and he occasionally frowned.
Ye Bai felt that Han Jianye's gaze made him extremely uncomfortable, which seriously affected his cooking performance, so he turned to Han Jianye and said, "Can you go out and wait for me first?"
Han Jianye raised his eyebrows and said bluntly: "I have to watch you in case you accidentally give me something you shouldn't."
……(′_)
"Then what good will it do me if I accidentally poison you?" Ye Bai asked back.
"It's not a good thing, but I have to make sure you wash the vegetables clean before giving them to me." Han Jianye teased.
Hearing this, Ye Bai's expression changed slightly. He threw the vegetables in his hand back into the sink, untied his apron, turned around and was about to leave.
"I won't cook anymore." Ye Bai said angrily.
"Come back here, I was just kidding you." Han Jianye smiled and quickly reached out, grabbed Ye Bai's collar and pulled him back.
Because the movement was too fast and forceful, Ye Bai lost his balance, turned his back to Han Jianye, and fell into his strong arms.
Ye Bai was shocked!
There's no time to react.
Han Jianye subconsciously put his arms around his waist. Due to the tilt of gravity, he took a big step back. Fortunately, his back was pressed against the refrigerator, which allowed him to stand firm and avoid falling to the ground.
Ye Bai's head gently rested on Han Jianye's chin, and the pleasant scent of shampoo instantly filled his nose.
This sudden incident caught both of them off guard.
Han Jianye: ...(⊙o⊙)!
Ye Bai: ...Σ(っ°Д °;)っ
Ye Bai immediately broke free from Han Jianye's embrace, but Han Jianye still held his shoulders, then lowered his head and whispered in his ear: "You have a bad temper. You just left like that. Do you want me to starve?"
His voice was teasing, but also revealed a hint of anticipation.
He came back directly after the meeting and hadn't eaten dinner yet. He was waiting for the bowl of noodles cooked by Ye Bai.
Ye Bai didn't look at Han Jianye. He just felt that the two of them were so close to each other, which made him feel a little uncomfortable.
"Then...then you go out and wait." There was a hint of persistence in his voice.
Han Jianye's smile did not diminish. He looked at Ye Bai and seemed to realize that Ye Bai was a little unhappy about what he had just said and was in a bad mood.
He let go of Ye Bai's shoulders and asked tentatively: "Then...are you sure you can do it yourself?"
"Can."
"You wouldn't mistake salt for sugar and soy sauce for vinegar, right?" Han Jianye asked half-jokingly.
"Won't."
At this time, Yuanbao walked into the kitchen, wagging his tail and called out to Ye Bai.
"Woof!"
[Blink if you feel threatened. 】
Ye Bai looked down at Yuanbao. He could feel that Yuanbao seemed to be there to support him.
"Okay then, I'll go out and wait." Han Jianye suddenly agreed and took Yuanbao out, "We'll wait for you in the living room."
"good."
Han Jianye left.
Ye Bai now felt extremely regretful. He was too easily moved.
When he knew that Han Jianye was still cooking noodles for him so late, he thought about doing something in return, so he casually said that he wanted to cook noodles for him.
I thought Han Jianye would politely refuse, but I didn't expect him to listen to me.
It’s all my fault for being too soft-hearted.
Because it was an open kitchen, even if Han Jianye went to the living room, he could still see Ye Bai's every move.
But Ye Bai didn't care, as long as Han Jianye didn't hang around in front of him.
Han Jianye, who was sitting on the sofa, curled his eyes slightly, as if smiling. He was looking forward to seeing how Ye Bai would make the noodles.
Thinking of this, he stood up and prepared to take a shower before coming out to eat noodles.
Ye Bai had already watched the video tutorial in advance. Although his movements were a little slow, everything was proceeding in an orderly manner. He was no longer as panic-stricken as before, and his mentality became much calmer.
When Han Jianye finished his shower and walked out of the bathroom, Ye Bai had already placed a bowl of steaming vegetable and egg noodles on the dining table.
A hint of surprise flashed in Han Jianye's eyes. The noodles in the bowl were carefully arranged neatly. The boiled egg was cut in half and placed elegantly on the side. Next to it were two small green vegetables, which were bright in color and looked particularly fresh.
Han Jianye didn't expect that Ye Bai, who didn't even know how to wash vegetables, could make such a bowl of vegetable and egg noodles with good color, aroma and taste.
Ye Bai's face was filled with anticipation, like a model student eager to be praised by his teacher.
His eyes were clear and bright, and under his long eyelashes, his piercing eyes were fixed on Han Jianye's expression as he ate noodles.
Han Jianye first picked up the spoon, tasted a sip of the soup, then pursed his lips and remained silent.
Ye Bai's face was full of curiosity. The whole space was unusually quiet, and the only sound that could be heard was Han Jianye drinking soup.
"Didn't you add salt?" Han Jianye finally broke the silence and asked Ye Bai.
"Ah!??" Ye Bai responded in surprise, and then explained, "The taste is very light? I only added a little salt, because I also planned to add a spoonful of light soy sauce to enhance the flavor."
Han Jianye pushed the bowl in front of him and asked, "Do you want to taste the saltiness?"
Ye Bai didn't seem to think too much about it. After all, this was his first time cooking, and he was curious about how he was doing. So he took the spoon, took a small sip and began to savor the food. "Well, it's a bit bland indeed."
Han Jianye's deep eyes wandered over his handsome face, and finally stopped on the soup spoon in his hand without saying a word.
Ye Bai suggested: "I'll add some salt, it might taste better."
"It's okay, I can eat it this way." Han Jianye didn't seem to mind. He might be really hungry. After saying that, he lowered his head and started eating the noodles in big mouthfuls.
Ye Bai originally thought that Han Jianye would put down his bowl and chopsticks because of the taste. After all, his personality was always unpredictable. But seeing that he was in a good mood tonight, he thought he could tentatively ask him something.
"that……"
Ye Bai's gaze lingered on Han Jianye, his lips moved slightly, as if he was struggling internally as to whether to speak.
There was an indescribable hesitation in the air.
"Just say it if you have something to say. I like to be straightforward." Han Jianye's words were concise and powerful, breaking Ye Bai's hesitation.
Mustering up his courage, Ye Bai asked cautiously, "When will our new colleague arrive?"
As Ye Bai finished speaking, Han Jianye's movements also paused. He slowly put down the chopsticks in his hand and looked directly at Ye Bai.
The two people's eyes met in the air, Ye Bai felt a little embarrassed, his voice stopped abruptly, and the atmosphere on the scene seemed to be frozen.
Han Jianye's expression was unusually calm; his calmness seemed beyond common sense and difficult to understand.
He should have thought that Ye Bai was still thinking about going back, but he didn't expect that he would start asking him tonight. He pulled out the chair, stood up and walked towards the sofa.
Ye Bai didn't understand what he meant, so he followed him and sat opposite him.
Han Jianye lowered his head and lit a cigarette for himself. The smoke slowly rose around his face, adding a bit of mystery.
Ye Bai sat quietly opposite him, his eyes meeting his, trying to find the answer from those eyes.
Han Jianye flicked off the cigarette ash with his fingers calmly, and the air between the two seemed to become solemn.
"Have you asked Captain Yan what he thinks?" Han Jianye threw the question directly to him.
After all, if his position in the Qiyang Branch was replaced by someone else, what would be the purpose of him returning?
Ye Bai shook his head, "No."
Han Jianye flicked the cigarette in his hand, raised the corners of his mouth slightly, and revealed an elusive smile, "So this is your unilateral intention?"
"I……"
"Anyway, I haven't received any notice from my superiors, and you just need to obey their arrangements now."
After hearing this, Ye Bai suddenly felt lost.
well…
( )…
I thought: Let’s wait a little longer.
Han Jianye felt that Ye Bai was thinking too simply. The Qiyang Branch was not short of people at all, otherwise they would not have agreed to transfer him over.
At this time, Yuanbao on the side looked at Ye Bai and woofed, as if he understood their conversation.
[Damn it, are you leaving?] Don’t you want me anymore? Humph, how could you do this? Woohoo…】
Then he silently walked to Han Jianye's feet and lay down, with his head hung, his eyes sad, and a dejected expression.
"Look, just one sentence hurt Yuanbao."
Ye Bai squatted down and stroked Yuan Bao's head, whispering, "How could it possibly understand?"
"It's a Border Collie, don't you think it can understand?"
"If it could understand, why didn't it go back to its cage and sleep?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Yuanbao immediately stood up, turned around and walked towards the dog cage. Not only could he understand, but he could also close the cage door by himself.
Ye Bai: “…( ′. ` )!?”
He was stunned!
Han Jianye looked at Ye Bai's stunned expression and chuckled, "Are you convinced now?"
Ye Bai sighed lightly, then nodded silently. Just as Han Jianye said, Yuanbao not only understood human language, but was also very shrewd.
