Chapter 81 Snowball Fight
Ling Shen put his arm around Su Nian's shoulders and walked towards the living room. Listening to Chang Zi's suggestion, he touched his chin and said, "It's okay to have a snowball fight, but we have to finish dinner first."
Before he finished speaking, Chang Zi had already dragged Yu Tao and Yuan Wenzhong towards the kitchen, "Hurry up, clean up and cook, we'll go downstairs and have a snowball fight later."
Yu Tao stumbled as Chang Zi pulled him. "Why are you so excited?"
Chang Zi waved his hand and said, "You don't understand. We can't beat Ling Shen in other places, but we can't lose to him in a snowball fight. Besides, there are three of us and only two of them. How can we not win?" As he said this, he clenched his fist and waved it in the air, as if he had already held a snowball.
Yu Tao and Yuan Wenzhong looked at each other, and their eyes fell on Ling Shen and Su Nian who were bending over to arrange dishes in the restaurant.
The warm yellow light sprinkled on the overlapping shadows of the two people, and for a moment I felt extremely pitiful.
Three single people were so crazy that they came to the house of these two people to have a party, not only to cook but also to eat dog food. The three looked at the seafood in their hands, nodded, and reached a consensus.
"Is this okay?" Su Nian helped Ling Shen unwrap the oil paper packaging while looking towards the kitchen.
The kitchen knife on the chopping board was chopping garlic. Chang Zi's loud voice penetrated the door: "Yu Tao, can you wash the vegetables faster?"
Ling Shen waved his hand nonchalantly, the silver watch on his wrist gleaming coldly under the light, "It's okay, let them tinker with it.
"You, let me do it, you take them around the house." As soon as he stepped into the kitchen, he saw Chang Zi frantically holding a lobster. The fresh lobster was waving its big claws, and the splashing water wet his bangs.
"Let me do it."
Su Nian's words sounded like heavenly music to Chang Zi's ears. "Then I won't be polite!" After saying that, he hurried out of the kitchen.
Yu Tao and Yuan Wenzhong exchanged a glance, as if remembering something, and nodded to Su Nian a little embarrassedly, "Um... before... I'm sorry."
Su Nian lowered her head and thought about it. She knew what they were talking about and waved her hand. "You are doing this for Ah Shen. Besides, it's all in the past. Go, Ah Shen is waiting for you."
Seeing that Su Nian really didn't care, Yu Tao and the other man nodded and walked out of the kitchen.
In the living room, Ling Shen folded his arms and looked at the three people in front of him who had really obediently left the kitchen. He snorted coldly and took the three people for a stroll around the house.
"Hey, are these the photos you took when you went out?" Chang Zi pointed to the photo frames hanging on the wall next to the stairs. Almost every photo showed a different scenery, but the only thing in common was the same smiling faces of the two people in the photo.
Ling Shen looked in the direction of Chang Zi's finger, a slight smile on his face. "Yes, these are the photos I took during this trip. There are many more, do you want to see them?"
The three of them shook their heads at the same time and took half a step back. They had already eaten enough dog food and did not need to be attacked in the face again.
Ling Shen took the three of them for a perfunctory stroll, then said, "Play by yourselves," and went into the kitchen to find Su Nian.
The three of them didn't care. Some opened the wine, some played with the cat.
In the kitchen, Su Nian was arranging the steamed crabs on a plate. The crab shells were as red as the sunset.
Ling Shen put his arms around his waist from behind and rubbed his chin against his head. "Aren't we outside? How did you get in?"
"Who wants to play with these three single guys?" Ling Shen said as he reached out to grab the spatula from Su Nian's hand, but was slapped on the wrist.
Soon, the aroma of seafood porridge wafted from the kitchen, the rich fragrance of rice blending with the umami flavor of shrimp and crab. Ling Shen returned with a steaming casserole, the steam blurring his spectacles. On the table, braised prawns glowed amber, and the broth of steamed scallops with garlic vermicelli and vermicelli sauce was still bubbling.
"Okay, let's eat." Ling Shen took off his apron and casually put it on the back of the chair. He first served Su Nian a bowl of thick porridge and carefully skimmed off the foam.
Chang Zi's mouth was stuffed with shrimp meat, his cheeks puffed up like a hamster, and he said incoherently: "Su Nian, your cooking skills are really enough to open a restaurant. If I had known that your cooking was so delicious, I would have come to eat here a long time ago."
Yu Tao and Yuan Wenzhong also nodded repeatedly, praising the food while eating, and the atmosphere at the table became more and more lively.
Su Nian smiled and placed the peeled shrimp into the waiting cat and dog bowls under the table, "As long as you like it."
Before Chang Zi could say anything after swallowing a mouthful of porridge, Ling Shen interrupted his thoughts and said, "Stop it, don't think about coming here for free meals every day."
The other two were obedient and didn't say a word. It was obvious with their heels that Ling Shen hoped that no one would disturb their world of two. It was not easy to have this meal today, so eating quickly was more important than anything else.
Chang Zi curled his lips and picked up another scallop, "Stingy." The snow outside the window had started to fall again without anyone noticing. The mist on the glass blurred the warm yellow light, dyeing the laughter at the table into a gentle color.
As soon as the dishes were cleared away after dinner, Chang Zi couldn't wait to pull Yu Tao and Yuan Wenzhong to rush to the door. He didn't even zip up his down jacket and didn't care about the cold wind blowing into his collar.
"Hurry up, hurry up, don't wait for the snow to stop!" He shouted to the two people in the living room while changing his shoes, his eyes full of excitement.
Ling Shen held Su Nian's hand and followed slowly behind, his fingertips gently caressing the other's warm palm, and whispered: "It's cold outside, wrap your scarf tightly."
As he spoke, he reached out to help Su Nian adjust his scarf, then pulled his gloves to his wrists, wrapping them tightly before he felt relieved.
Su Nian smiled and nodded, her eyes fell on Ling Shen's serious profile, and the corners of her mouth curled up unconsciously.
When I opened the door, a vast white world instantly came into view.
The lawn had long been covered with thick snow, and the bare branches were hung with snowballs, like white marshmallows.
The cold wind blew in the face with fine snow foam, but Chang Zi shouted excitedly and rushed into the snow first, with the snow under his feet making a "crunching" sound.
"Come on! Who's afraid of who!" Chang Zi bent down, grabbed a handful of snow, rolled it into a snowball and threw it at Ling Shen.
Ling Shen reacted extremely quickly, pulling Su Nian to the side. The snowball hit the tree trunk behind him with a "bang", splashing a cloud of snow mist.
"A sneak attack is not a skill." Ling Shen raised his eyebrows, bent down, pinched a snowball, aimed at Chang Zi and threw it lightly.
The snowball landed squarely on Chang Zi's shoulder, and the snow foam slid down his down jacket.
Chang Zi pretended to be angry and grabbed two snowballs and rushed towards Ling Shen. Yu Tao and Yuan Wenzhong also joined the battle, picking up snowballs and "firing" at Ling Shen.
Su Nian stood aside and watched the fight with a smile, watching Ling Shen nimbly dodge in the snow, and occasionally throw a snowball in counterattack.
Suddenly, a snowball flew towards Su Nian. Ling Shen was quick-witted and blocked him in an instant. The snowball hit Ling Shen's back, leaving a white mark.
Chang Zi sighed with some regret and kept tossing the snowball in his hand.
Don't bully Su Nian!" Ling Shen turned and glared at Chang Zi, then looked at Su Nian gently, "Are you okay? Are you cold?"
Yu Tao shouted loudly, "Husband and wife are one body. If we can't throw it to you, it will be the same if we throw it to Su Nian."
