Two dishes, one meat and one vegetable, were placed on the simple and elegant wooden dining table. Lin Mi and Rong Zezhou each held half a bowl of rice and ate together in harmony and friendship.
Gu Gu, who felt that he had just embarrassed himself in front of his idol, retreated into his room to calm down.
Because they didn't know there was someone else at Lin Mi's house, the food Gudong sent was only one portion, which was too little for two young men to eat together. Soon, the food was all gone.
Lin Mi stuffed the last mouthful of rice in the bowl into his mouth with a piece of meat, chewing it carefully with a sense of unsatisfaction, but his eyes drifted towards the refrigerator——
Is there still a bag of instant noodles left from the last time you bought?
Rong Zezhou put down the empty bowl and followed Lin Mi's gaze towards the refrigerator. Suddenly, an idea popped into his mind.
Rong Zezhou stood up and pointed at the refrigerator: "Do you mind if I take a look?"
Lin Mi looked at Rong Zezhou's clean bowl, knowing that he wasn't full either, and nodded a little embarrassedly: "You can look around. But there shouldn't be anything edible in the refrigerator. I never cook for myself."
When I opened the refrigerator door, it was just as Lin Mi said, there were no vegetables inside. Apart from the neatly arranged drinks, the only edible things were a bag of instant noodles and two eggs.
Rong Zezhou took out the instant noodles and eggs and put them aside, then went to look at the freezer. Besides the ice cream, there was only half a bag of wontons lying alone in the freezer.
Rong Zezhou also took out the wontons, carefully checked the expiration date, then turned back to look at Lin Mi and asked, "Do you want instant noodles or wontons?"
Lin Mi's eyes moved back and forth between instant noodles and wontons, and finally said sincerely: "I want to eat both, but I only know how to make instant noodles."
It seems that Lin Mi was not born with the skill of cooking. Saying that he could make instant noodles was just an excuse to save face. In fact, even a simple dish like instant noodles would always taste worse after it passed through his hands.
Sensing Lin Mi's embarrassment, Rong Zezhou did not expose her. He just lowered his head and chuckled a few times, then walked into the kitchen with the remaining ingredients and asked, "Can I use the kitchen for a while?"
“Can you cook?”
Lin Mi's eyes lit up instantly, and he stood up and followed Rong Zezhou into the kitchen. Seeing Rong Zezhou skillfully boiling water, Lin Mi suddenly felt that Rong Zezhou had become taller.
Rong Zezhou started cooking wontons. While waiting for the water to boil, he turned around and looked at Lin Mi, saying meaningfully, "I've always liked cooking. Common home-cooked dishes are not difficult for me. I can cook for you tomorrow."
Lin Mi, whose mind was focused on the wontons tumbling in the pot, didn't notice the hidden meaning in Rong Zezhou's words and nodded happily: "That's too much trouble for you. I like home-cooked meals the most. I can't get used to the food in restaurants outside."
It's actually quite easy to feed.
Rong Zezhou laughed secretly in his heart, but didn't say anything more. Don't worry, the fish has been attracted by the bait. Is he still afraid that he won't take the bait?
Rong Zezhou was not bragging, his craftsmanship was indeed good.
Although it was just simple instant noodles and wontons, the strong aroma emitted after it came out of the pot made Lin Mi drool.
Of the only two remaining eggs, one was beaten in the soup, making the originally bland soup delicious, while the other was cooked into a perfect runny poached egg, now lying in Lin Mi's bowl.
Lin Mi stared at the poached egg that had been tempting him for a while, then pushed the bowl towards Rong Zezhou with difficulty: "I'll give you the egg."
As a host, it was already very rude to let the guests cook, and he was too embarrassed to eat this round and delicate poached egg alone.
"Didn't you say you wanted to try my cooking?"
Rong Zezhou was considerate and gave Lin Mi a way out. "Eat it while it's hot. If it gets cold, it won't taste good."
Lin Mi looked up at Rong Zezhou, and Rong Zezhou also looked at him with a smile.
"Then I won't be polite?"
Lin Mi stretched out a finger to hook the edge of the bowl, quietly pulled his bowl back, then picked up the tempting poached egg and took a bite.
The fresh egg white, the perfect amount of runny pork, and the delicious soup danced on the tip of the tongue. Lin Mi squinted her eyes in happiness instantly.
It’s been a long time since I’ve had such a perfectly cooked soft-boiled egg.
He didn’t know why. He clearly followed the online guide to cook it, but every time it turned out either it was not fully cooked or even the egg white was not cooked. This "dream egg" in front of him was probably a goblin that he would never be able to conquer in his entire life.
Lin Mi's father died when he was very young and his mother was very busy with work, so he has always lived with his grandfather.
Later, his mother married Gudu's father and wanted to take him with them, but Lin Mi couldn't bear to leave his grandfather, so he didn't agree.
Later, grandpa passed away and Lin Mi grew up. He didn't want to disturb his mother's new life, so he continued to live alone in the old house. However, he had a good relationship with his stepfather and half-brother Gudu. Knowing that he couldn't cook, Gudu often brought him meals cooked by his father.
The pitiful amount of food in the refrigerator was brought by Gudong when his stepfather was on a business trip. Unfortunately, the two brothers' cooking skills were similar, so they gave up after cooking once and chose to order takeout instead.
Even if it's not quite to my taste, at least it's edible and not as scary as what they made.
Lin Mi slurped up a bowl of instant wonton noodles, then leaned back in a chair and rubbed his stomach. Rong Zezhou stood up naturally, picked up the bowl, took it to the sink and started washing it.
"Ship God, don't move, I'll wash it!"
Gudong, who had finally accepted the fact that his idol appeared in his home, ran out again and volunteered to take over the task of washing the dishes. Rong Zezhou wanted to fight for it, but was pulled away by Lin Mi.
Lin Mi pulled Rong Zezhou to sit on the sofa in the living room, and then handed him two mobile phones, one was the phone with a broken screen by Rong Zezhou, and the other was an old phone he had replaced. Although it was a bit old, at least it could be used to make calls.
Rong Zezhou took it, held it in his hand but did not move.
"You can use it just by changing the SIM card," Lin Mi looked at Rong Zezhou with some doubt, "How about I help you?"
This great player doesn't move at all. Does he not know how to change cards?
Rong Zezhou shook his head: "No need to change, I don't need to call."
His expression was a little gloomy, which made Lin Mi understand instantly.
Professional e-sports players all live in the club. After what happened today, it is normal that Rong Zezhou does not want to contact the club.
"How about you stay here with me for one night?"
After all, people who have eaten the food are grateful for the kindness they have shown. Lin Mi extended an invitation considerately, "I'll drive you back tomorrow."
In case any conflict occurs after returning to the club, it will be easier to deal with it during the day.
Rong Zezhou was originally thinking about how to say that he wanted to stay, but when he heard Lin Mi's words, he immediately smiled and extended his hand to Lin Mi: "Thank you very much for taking me in. Let me introduce myself formally. I'm Rong Zezhou, an e-sports player. I can cook, clean the house, and have no bad habits."
Definitely a great roommate.
Lin Mi subconsciously held Rong Zezhou's hand, but was confused: It's just a temporary stay for one night, is it necessary to be so formal?
Rong Zezhou grabbed Lin Mi's hand and shook it vigorously, smiling without saying a word.
…
After cleaning up the kitchen and getting Rong Zezhou's autograph and a photo with him, Gudong left contentedly. Before leaving, he reminded Lin Mi to remember to catch up on the live broadcast in the evening to prevent those fans from running to his live broadcast room to flood the screen with messages.
Lin Mi really didn't want to talk about this topic in the evening, so he casually agreed and sent the antique away, hoping to get away with it. Unexpectedly, he received a call from the live broadcast platform, which kindly reminded him that they had arranged a recommended spot on the homepage for him tonight and asked him to start the live broadcast earlier.
Lin Mi handed the TV remote control to Rong Zezhou, then walked back to the room with a look of despair on his face. He turned on the computer, and when he saw the blood-red icon on the desktop, he felt that he was not feeling well at all.
If he doesn't play this damn game during the live broadcast later, the audience probably won't have any objections, right?
However, the audience in his live broadcast room were not fools. Their memory was good enough to support them and they had not forgotten that they were stood up in the afternoon. As soon as Lin Mi turned on the live broadcast, the audience who were wandering in the room waiting to settle the score with him immediately became excited.
[Wow, the anchor can actually remember the live broadcast account. I thought you were scared and ran away. ]
Lin Mi: "The anchor didn't run away. There was a power outage this afternoon. Didn't I come here as soon as the power came back on?"
[Didn’t the anchor cosplay as a ghost bride this afternoon? Why did she change her clothes? Are you trying to stand us up again? ]
Lin Mi: "That cosplay costume was too hot, so I changed it in the afternoon because there was a power outage and no air conditioning. I didn't bother with it so late at night. I didn't stand you up, I'm already on air."
[Host, if you can finish "Ghost Altar" tonight, I can pretend that what happened in the afternoon didn't happen. Otherwise, the video of you running away will spread all over the Internet tomorrow.]
Lin Mi: ...
What on earth is "Ghost Altar"?
It’s late at night, can’t these audiences just let him go?
Lin Mi did not respond, but the audience was watching "Ghost Altar" even more happily. Looking at the confusing barrage of comments, Lin Mi continued to remain silent.
[Host, you are not really scared, are you? If you are a man, hurry up and don't let me laugh at you. ]
[Host, if you cheat, we will put you on the hot search list tomorrow so that everyone can see how you ran away this afternoon.]
Lin Mi: I knew these people wouldn’t let him go so easily.
Lin Mi's live broadcast room had been pushed to the homepage at this time, and more and more viewers poured in. Seeing that the old viewers had already begun to explain his embarrassing stories to the new viewers, Lin Mi gritted his teeth and finally made up his mind.
He raised his orchid finger and slowly brushed it across his cheek, his eyes slightly raised, and he said delicately in the tone of a ghost bride: "How could I be a coward? I am not a playboy. When playing games, you must be loyal to one person——"
Damn it, there’s no way to escape tonight anyway, so instead of playing that unknown game “Ghost Altar”, he might as well continue playing the Ghost Bride which he’s already halfway through. At least he’s familiar with this one and won’t be scared again!
The author has something to say:
Rong Zezhou: If you want to capture someone's heart (want to stay in a room with them), you must first capture their stomach——
