19. Cooking and the Cold War
Lin Tinghan has developed a new habit.
That is, every night before going to bed, he would pray to the spirit tree to bring him and Xiao Yi back.
This fucking first life was such torture!
Thinking of what Xiao Yi said, and how he was obsessed with looking at Nanchen's dirty face every morning, he felt a chill all over his body.
Seeing the two insects interacting every day, Lin Tinghan should have been jealous, but Nanchen was so ugly that his jealousy was drowned out by his respect.
Brother Xiao is so awesome!
I can stare intently at a slick mouth.
The most important point is that Brother Xiao didn't have any intimate contact with Nanchen. Not even holding hands, every day he came out of the end room, like a husband-waiting stone, standing exactly three steps away from Nanchen, staring at him passionately.
Nanchen's thoughts on this are not clear, but he obviously loves money more. He is like Zhou Paopi, not even allowing more hot water.
Lin Tinghan, who was still an orphan, took out his inheritance wallet to pay for water and electricity bills, and the situation improved a little.
Lin Tinghan couldn't help but think more: Did this guy brush his teeth in the morning before?
Nanchen was going on a business trip for three days, and Lin Tinghan played Good Luck in his heart. Xiao Yi looked pitiful, with the same charm as Lin Tinghan pretending to be a green tea lover, half holding back tears.
The first thing that happens when the stingy person is gone is
It’s about buying groceries and making delicious food.
Because there was no internet at home, Lin Tinghan used the functions of the bracelet to its fullest. He used the military code to transfer the purchase to a special department and had it delivered to his home. He signed the name of the recipient carefully, Xiao Yi.
Perfect.
The gaze staring at him from behind made Lin Tinghan shudder all over.
"Xiao...Xiao Yi."
"Aren't you sleeping?"
It was rare that Xiao Yi didn't mention the hero in his first sentence, but asked what he was doing.
I'm cooking.
But if he answered like that, Xiao Yi would definitely not say anything. The male insect, who had already grasped the situation, responded without replying, and first washed the pots and dishes, and answered in a voice that was twice as quiet as usual.
so,
Xiao Yi had no choice but to move forward and get closer to listen to the male insect's reply.
"I heard that cooking is a popular way to show affection recently. You and Nanchen are so in love, you must know that, right? Maybe it's Nanchen who started this trend by cooking for you every day."
Xiao Yi praised Nanchen a lot as usual, until the last sentence which was the key point.
"You don't have a partner, why do you want to show off your affection?"
"There will be sometime in the future." Lin Tinghan replied calmly, "I'll practice first."
"I am moved by the affectionate behavior you and Nanchen show each other every day. So, I also want to find someone I can show my affection to."
Xiao Yi pursed his lips secretly, and then sat silently in the corner of the sofa. This time, he did not sit in the seat where he usually waited, and the poor view made Lin Tinghan only see the back of his head.
He scratched his head in confusion: Why does it feel like Xiao Yi is unhappy?
He didn't care and finished cooking all the meals.
"Brother Xiao, come and eat."
It didn't work. He called out again.
After waiting for five seconds, Lin Tinghan went into the kitchen and found a set of mobile dinner plates. After packing each dish, he brought it to the living room and placed it next to Xiao Yi.
"I miss you so much, Lord."
Lin Tinghan stopped turning and raising his feet, exhaled deeply, and did not turn back.
"These are all your favorites, try them."
"Nanchen won't be back for another two and a half days. If you don't want to eat or drink like this, you'll be sad when he comes back. Put the food in the sink after you finish eating. I'll clean it up."
Lin Tinghan still couldn't help but complain: "How much money can I have to buy a robot butler? I have to live in the last century! No, there were dishwashers in the last century, but here we have to save even hot water!"
The cursing voices gradually faded with the sound of the door closing. Xiao Yi looked at the untouched food on the table and his eyes flickered.
Lin Tinghan was angry and ran laps outside.
I miss you, my hero!
A male insect who slams his lips when eating, snores when sleeping, and doesn't give money to spend is a scumbag!
Trash!!!
After running ten kilometers, Lin Tinghan persuaded himself to be well again.
Why get angry with a poor little thing who is being controlled?
After running on an empty stomach, I felt severe stomach pain. Lin Tinghan returned home with a pale face and found that the food was untouched. The food that was distributed was packed back.
Good, very good.
Lin Tinghan sat down silently without turning on the light. He ate two bites and dumped the whole thing into the trash can.
Xiao Yi was in the room at the end and heard a slight noise. He went out and saw Lin Tinghan washing dishes.
His eyes moved back and forth across the table, and then he saw the food in the trash can. He walked back to his room silently.
Originally, Lin Tinghan mostly just made small talk.
So the atmosphere today is a bit silent.
The male insect came out after washing up, sat on the dining table, ate a piece of bread, and walked out the door, not even glancing at the female insect sitting on the sofa.
He didn't come back until the evening, carrying a snack in his hand, and he quickly ate it before returning to his room.
Xiao Yi watched the other person walk into the room and remained silent.
But his lips trembled slightly.
On the third day, Lin Tinghan calmed down.
But he still didn't talk much. He bought half as many ingredients as he could, but the style he cooked was still what Xiao Yi liked. He finished cooking the meal in silence and went out again.
I got home in the afternoon and didn't eat a single bite of my food.
Lin Tinghan frowned and walked quickly to Xiao Yi: "Your master is back today, can you have a bite of food?"
Xiao Yi's eyes flickered for a moment, and then he was overjoyed: "Master Xiong is back, I missed him so much."
Seeing Xiao Yi like this, Lin Tinghan felt very uncomfortable. He wanted to hold his hand, but let it go halfway.
"Go eat if you're happy. I'll heat it up for you."
"Let's...eat together." Xiao Yi uttered these three words with great difficulty, sweat on his forehead. He hadn't eaten for two days, and his body was weak, so he suddenly fell forward.
The male insect took advantage of the situation and reached out, its pupils trembling.
The reason why I didn't eat was because of this.
Lin Tinghan, you are such a bastard!
"Okay, let's eat together."
The meal was unusually silent, and Lin Tinghan's eyes were heavy. Xiao Yi didn't say much either, just picking up the food. He moved his chopsticks flexibly, peeling the whole shrimp meat and putting it into the female insect's bowl.
As soon as Xiao Yi stopped chewing, Lin Tinghan spoke immediately.
"Is it unusual for my brother to peel shrimp for my sister-in-law?"
The uneasy and alert look returned to normal. Lin Tinghan felt bitter and silently paid attention to Xiao Yi. After waiting for him to finish a whole bowl of rice, he suddenly said.
"sorry."
"I should have dinner with you."
"Next time, what do you want to eat?" He paused suddenly. "You can tell Nanchen. I will go buy some every day. After all, I am staying here with you. I feel embarrassed and want to help."
"Brother Xiao, I will move out when I become an adult."
This decision was very sudden, and Xiao Yi asked the reason.
Lin Tinghan smiled and said, "Because after becoming an adult, my mental strength has stabilized. It's not appropriate for me to stay here any longer."
"The association should have told you about the situation."
"So, Brother Xiao, you don't have to be on guard against me."
"I won't have any improper thoughts about you."
