Chapter 71071 Good Ayu, I'm hungry
To be honest, I was genuinely frightened. Imagine, in the dead of night, a beautiful face suddenly appears outside your window, smiling back at you. It's so beautiful, like a ghost coming to seduce you. How could it not be scary?
Although I knew this ordinary glass window wouldn't stop him, I still forced myself to open it for my mother's sake. He held onto the window with one hand, bent his legs, and nimbly slid through. I quickly glanced outside, making sure no one was watching, then sighed and closed the window. But as I turned around, I almost gasped again. He was so close I could almost feel his breath.
He frowned slightly, seemingly in a bad mood. I quickly brought over a chair and said, "Please sit down."
He snorted softly, glanced at me, and then gracefully sat down. This chair was an ergonomic one Mom bought me, and he'd definitely never sat in one before. Once he sat down, his expression seemed to soften. Since the chair had wheels, he maneuvered it around the room. The noise brought Mom's knock on the door. "Ah Yu, aren't you asleep yet?"
I quickly held onto the chair and shouted to the door, "It's almost time. I'll be asleep soon!"
Mom urged: "Okay, go to bed early."
I breathed a sigh of relief when I heard my mother's footsteps fade away. Turning back, I saw him hunched over in his chair, smiling at me. He no longer looked like a lecher. Then I realized that in my eagerness, I'd pushed the chair right in front of him, so from behind it looked like I'd hugged him.
I withdrew my hand as if nothing had happened, retreated to the bed, sat on the edge of the bed, looked at him steadily, and said, "Little Lotus."
He hummed, took off his shoes, and sat cross-legged on a chair. His voice was a little cold, like winter snowflakes covering his face, which seemed to indicate that he was not in a very good mood.
But when I heard him admit that he was Little Lotus, I felt like I was walking on clouds and felt relieved all of a sudden.
"How much do you know about this place?"
Little Lotus's eyes moved slightly, but she still shook her head.
"I don't know. When I woke up, I was Yin Lian."
I:?
I suspected he was hiding something from me, but I had no evidence.
"Have you been assigned an identity?"
He stretched out his fingers and scratched his chin. "Is that so?"
I don't quite understand. If it is, it is. If it is not, it is not. What does "is considered to be" mean?
Perhaps my questioning expression was too obvious, so Little Lotus said softly, "I woke up and saw my mother."
I said, "Mrs. Yin?"
"Yes." After a pause, he added: "There is only mother, no...father." Perhaps it has been a long time since he called his father, so the word father seemed a little unfamiliar to him at this moment.
I tried to guess: "Is your father dead?"
Little Lotus: ...
He chuckled. "I like that answer, but it's not quite that. From what my mother said, it seems like... divorce."
Divorce...
The couple's divorce was quite bizarre. But on second thought, since this was a fantasy world, it didn't seem so strange.
Anyway, who on earth created this world? It feels like every design touches our hearts.
Thinking of this, I couldn't help but smile happily. Little Lotus looked at me and suddenly said, "I'm hungry."
I looked at him in surprise. "Hasn't your body been sanctified? How could you be hungry?"
But he said as a matter of course: "I am Yin Lian now, not Nezha."
I:……
"Then hurry home. It's already late. Aren't you afraid that Madam Yin will worry if you come out?"
Little Lotus raised her eyebrows. "She's on night shift tonight, seems to be a nurse."
I had never expected Mrs. Yin to become a nurse, but thinking about it, it didn't seem strange to have a nurse position.
but……
"Even if Madam Yin is not here, can't you cook for yourself?"
He was an expert at roasting rabbit, so how could he not cook it himself? Besides, during the time when he was fighting against King Zhou, he had no conditions to compromise on such a meal, so he would just make do with whatever he could get.
"I don't know how to use the things you have here." He spread his hands with a matter-of-fact expression.
But I don't believe it at all.
But he leaned over and said, "Good Ayu, I'm so hungry."
I felt like he was tempting me, but... well, I couldn't resist.
I helplessly searched through several drawers, but all I could find were two sausages and a bag of spicy noodles. This stuff was not enough to fill me up.
"Wait, I'll go check in the kitchen."
Without waiting for a response, I tiptoed and pushed the door open. Luckily, it was a good door, so it made no sound. The lights in the living room were off, and Mom had gone back to her room. Using my phone's flashlight, I scrambled into the kitchen and pulled out a bucket of instant noodles from the cabinet. I checked the expiration date: it still had three days left. It was fine, still edible.
I unpacked the food, added the ingredients, filled it with hot water, and then carefully carried it back to my room. It wasn't until I closed the door that I finally recovered from the tension I'd just felt.
Little Lotus smiled and asked, "Are you so afraid of being discovered by Mother?"
I put a book on the lid of my instant noodles and replied, "I just don't want her to worry."
If my mother found out that I was making instant noodles, she would definitely think it was unhealthy and would specially cook noodles for me.
Little Lotus's eyes fell on the instant noodles and asked, "What is this? It smells delicious."
"Instant noodles, just wait three minutes and you'll be ready," I said. Although I'd long since grown tired of instant noodles, I had to admit that after a while, I still occasionally missed the taste, even if I'd become tired of it after just one bite.
Three minutes passed quickly. I put down the book, took out a fork to stir the noodles, and said to Xiao Lianhua, "Come and eat. It's a little hot, so eat slowly." I handed him the fork.
He maneuvered his chair over to the desk and took the fork.
While he was eating noodles, I opened the book and memorized some English words. English is my weak point, so I have to put more effort into it, at least to memorize the words.
I silently memorized the words, my mouth moving and making tiny sounds. I thought I wouldn't be able to concentrate next to Little Lotus, but surprisingly, once I got into studying, nothing outside could disturb me.
It wasn't until Little Lotus sighed that I finally pulled myself out of my study. By then, it was already past eleven o'clock.
"It's delicious." Little Lotus said, touching her stomach.
I stuck my head out and saw that he had finished the soup.
"I want to eat lunch tomorrow," he said.
I:……
“The food in our school is quite delicious.”
Little Lotus propped up one cheek and said, "But I'm not too embarrassed to eat it."
I:……
"That friend of yours, he's treating you like a jerk, like he's afraid I'll kidnap you? Whenever I look at you in class, he glares at me."
I:……
I opened the math book and wanted to calm down first, but his fingers were pressing on the math book. I looked up at him and saw his mouth opening and closing.
"So, let's have lunch together tomorrow."
Before I could digest his words, he added:
"The friend who carried you on his back."
I:……
I think this is a bit difficult.
Under his almost threatening gaze, I could only nod in agreement and secretly pray that Wu You wouldn't tear it apart tomorrow.
Only after getting my correct answer did he withdraw his hand with satisfaction.
I breathed a sigh of relief and didn't feel like rereading the math book. I wouldn't understand it anyway. Actually, there wouldn't be any new classes in my senior year, just review. I'd already forgotten most of it, so I just looked back at the book to try to get a sense of familiarity.
While I was packing up my books, I heard Little Lotus ask me:
"Ayu, do you like this world?"
My hands kept moving and I replied, "I like it."
Little Lotus didn't say anything. After a while, she said:
"Me too."
