Chapter 354
"Well, Miss Jiang didn't look at me." Liu Lin said sincerely.
Jiang Qiao: “……………………”
She wanted to kill Liu Lin, and in a hurry she pulled Lu Xun's sleeve, and Lu Xun's expression softened slightly.
Liu Lin took in all of this, and his eyes were filled with interest. He had no concept of being annoying. Lu Xun frowned and asked, "What on earth are you doing here?"
Liu Lin: "If I remember correctly, tomorrow is the Spring Festival."
Lu Xun: “?”
Liu Lin slowly uttered two words: "Happy New Year."
Lu Xun, Jiang Qiao: “………………”
Xiao Liu at the side: "?"
Just ask, what does it mean for a person who has played everyone in the palm of his hand to say the words "New Year's greetings"? That is no different from a tiger or a wolf wishing a New Year's greeting to a chicken - it has no good intentions.
Lu Xun didn’t know when Liu Lin became so humane. He sneered, “You can come back tomorrow.”
Jiang Qiao swallowed the words "Who needs your New Year's greetings?" and agreed, "Yes, hurry up and leave. If you want to say New Year's greetings, please go early tomorrow."
The young couple kept talking back and forth, with "not welcome" written all over their faces. A normal person would have left without being able to bear it, but there were no normal people present.
Liu Lin turned slightly to Xiao Liu who was looking down and snapping her fingers and said, "Did you hear that? Your former master and your sister Xiao Qiao don't welcome you and won't let you come again."
"Ah?" Xiao Liu was squatting in a corner of the sofa, chatting with 166. She looked up in bewilderment when she heard the words. When she met Liu Lin's calm black eyes, she shuddered and immediately burst into tears: "Sister Xiao Qiao......"
When a lovely girl sheds tears, even a heart as strong as iron will soften into a pool of water. Jiang Qiao hates girls acting like spoiled brats to her the most. She glared at Liu Lin, and immediately softened her tone when she looked at Xiao Liu: "I didn't say you..."
Xiao Liu didn't say anything. She glanced at Lu Xun, lowered her head in fear, and her body trembled. Looking at her, someone who didn't know would think Lu Xun was going to eat her.
"Lu Xun didn't say anything about you either." Jiang Qiao said immediately.
"Really?" Xiao Liu blinked back her tears and said carefully, "So, I...can we stay for the New Year's Eve dinner?"
Jiang Qiao choked and before he could say anything, Xiao Liu attacked again: "I haven't had the New Year's Eve dinner yet, I don't know what it tastes like..."
"………………" Jiang Qiao's heart softened at once as they felt the same pain: "Of course."
She could vaguely guess Xiao Liu's identity and believed in Xiao Liu's words. It was understandable that the system's long life was so lonely and it would yearn for human life.
Jiang Qiao really felt sorry for Xiao Liu, but he forgot the most important thing. Xiao Liu just turned into a human form, and his essence was still a system. He had no concept of "human New Year's Eve dinner" at all.
When Xiao Liu heard Jiang Qiao's agreement, the tears in her eyes disappeared instantly, and her expression changed so quickly that no one could catch up: "Yeah, I knew that Sister Xiao Qiao was the best to me!"
Jiang Qiao: “…………………………”
“………Ah…Haha………” Jiang Qiao felt like he was really being fooled. His smile was uglier than his crying. Lu Xun on the side had an even gloomier face. Only Liu Lin, who had achieved his goal, looked calm and composed.
In the end, they stayed to have the New Year's Eve dinner. Liu Lin looked gentle and polite, but he ate more than anyone else, and Xiao Liu was no less eager.
Watching Xiao Liu eat one dumpling at a time, Jiang Qiao doubted that she couldn't tell whether it tasted good or not, she just thought it was fun.
It was not enough to just eat dumplings for the New Year's Eve dinner, so they also cooked some dishes. Six of the eight dishes were made by Lu Xun, and the remaining two vegetarian dishes were made by Jiang Qiao.
It’s not that Jiang Qiao and Lu Xun are very aware of the importance of hosting, it’s mainly because the other two don’t know how to cook at all!
Liu Lin was forced into the kitchen. He picked up the kitchen knife slowly and calmly, like a chef. He chopped the potato into pieces as thick as his fingers and fell into silence.
"You wash the vegetables." Lu Xun said.
Liu Lin raised his eyebrows, took the spinach beside him and started to wash it. He washed it very carefully. One minute passed, two minutes passed,
Ten minutes later, a small bundle of spinach was washed. Looking at the emerald green spinach leaves dripping with water, Liu Lin nodded with great satisfaction. He looked up and met a pair of dark eyes. He wondered, "What's wrong?"
"You threw away all the roots?"
"Don't you want to eat the leaves?"
“……………………”
Lu Xun took a deep breath, clenched his hands at his side, and his face was cold as ice. Liu Lin said "Oh" and suddenly realized, "I thought only the leaves were edible."
"...How about I wash another bundle?"
"This is the last bundle."
Liu Lin: “……………………”
Liu Lin touched his nose, feeling a little embarrassed.
The two men of equal stature stared at each other in silence. The air was strangely quiet, which startled Jiang Qiao who came in to get a small bowl.
Jiang Qiao was holding a half-peeled garlic in his hand, looking at this and that. Just as he was about to ask what happened, he suddenly caught a glimpse of the spinach in the basket, and his eyes lit up immediately.
"Wow! Lu Xun, you finally got it! You finally cut off the spinach stems! I told you that spinach stems are not tasty, but you said they are nutritious. You finally understand me, right? I know you still love me!"
Jiang Qiao is a bit picky about food. She doesn't like carrots, but she can eat scrambled eggs with carrots. She doesn't like celery, neither the leaves nor the roots. She especially dislikes spinach stems because she thinks they are sweet and adding salt to them doesn't make them look good.
She used to order takeout or eat out, but since Lu Xun started cooking, he always gave her some spinach, saying that the stems were more nutritious than the leaves. Jiang Qiao thought that the person waiting to eat couldn't be picky about the chef, so she ate it obediently every time.
I didn't expect Lu Xun to be so humanitarian this time! So kind, so kind!
Jiang Qiao was visibly happy, and he talked a lot. Only after he finished speaking did he realize that something was wrong.
Why did Lu Xun look so ugly? His face was darker than the bottom of a pot. What did she say wrong?
Jiang Qiao didn't understand. Liu Lin coughed, and there was a smile in his voice that he couldn't hide: "I washed the spinach."
“………………………………”
“………I was wondering why this spinach is so ugly after washing it, haha”
Liu Lin: “……………………”
Liu Lin: "It seems that Miss Jiang really hates spinach stems. You don't have to thank me too much. Just consider it as a reward for the meal."
“………………………………”
Liu Lin didn't seem to notice the cold and gloomy expression on the other side. After he finished speaking, he took the initiative to ask: "Is there anything else I can do?"
"Get out." Lu Xun's voice was cold.
Liu Lin: "Okay."
The person who had tried to sow discord with a few words patted his buttocks and left. Jiang Qiao did not even dare to look at Lu Xun: "I, I will continue to peel garlic."
