Chapter 242 No More Acting
Su Lingyu was a little excited, but quickly suppressed her curiosity.
[Not appropriate, not appropriate. I came here to thank him, not to rob him. If I really knocked him out, wouldn't that be repaying kindness with enmity?]
The system corrected its mistake and immediately chose a suitable one: [Then let’s knock Huo Yan unconscious! It doesn’t matter who we choose to do the experiment! ]
[It’s easier to attack someone you know, there’s no loopholes! Haha! ]
Huo Yan: “……?”
Gu Yanying chuckled and picked up the teacup.
Then, they both realized something was wrong at the same time. The other person's actions seemed to be exactly the same as their own. They looked at each other, and then looked away in disgust.
Su Lingyu thought for a moment and gave up: [Forget it. I feel tired when I think about taking action.]
[As long as the person returns safely, don’t worry about the rest. ]
[Anyway, the plot of this mission world has long since collapsed into a mess, and this isn’t the first time that weird things have happened.]
Sometimes she wondered if there was a bug in the system. But she couldn't ask the system about this, otherwise she would be crying.
Gu Yanying said: "Actually, this escape from death is also a kind of experience for me."
Su Lingyu sat up straight and listened attentively.
Gu Yanying smiled gently and said frankly: "In the past, I had obsessions, confusion and resentment in my heart, and I walked into a dead end. Because of this, I finally encountered a ray of light and yearned for it very much. I never thought that I would be trapped by emotions and entangled in my own web."
“But maybe people just need an opportunity.”
"At that moment of life and death, I suddenly realized a lot of things. Life is actually very short. We can reminisce in life, but we can never live in memories. Even if my childhood was difficult, I am no longer the helpless child I was back then, and I should not be trapped by the shadow of my childhood."
"You can't force feelings, whether it's family, love, or friendship. Forcing it will hurt others and yourself. It's better to take a step back and see the world in a broader perspective."
"More importantly, when I realized that I might die, the strongest wish in my mind was not what I thought, but the experimental project that I had not completed..."
“…”
As Gu Yanying spoke, Su Lingyu listened quietly.
As he listened, he nodded from time to time, his face full of understanding and deep agreement.
Of course, Gu Yanying's relief also made her feel much more comfortable.
Noticing her change, a hint of helplessness flashed across Gu Yanying's brows, but then disappeared. She still looked calm and composed, with a gentle smile.
He originally meant these words to Su Lingyu, and she was the only one who took them to heart.
Huo Yan always has a blank expression on his face. At first glance, he seems very calm, but if you observe carefully, you will find that his eyes are too calm.
Jiang Yufeng sighed deeply in her heart.
They were almost done chatting, and seeing that it was getting late, Jiang Yufeng stood up and asked, "It's already half past ten, are you ready to cook? Yanying, are you going to cook for lunch or am I going to cook?"
Cooking?
Su Lingyu looked at Gu Yanying subconsciously.
Gu Yanying was a very smart person. She noticed her little action from the corner of her eye and immediately stood up and said with a smile: "Since you are visiting my home, of course I will do it. Auntie, you just need to take a rest."
Jiang Yufeng smiled and said, "Okay, then I'll eat the ready-made food today."
Unexpectedly, Huo Yan stood up and said, "I'll help you."
Su Lingyu looked at him in surprise: "You can cook too?"
When they were camping in the wild, Huo Yan was a very good griller and could cook noodles, but she had never seen him cook a proper meal.
Huo Yan nodded calmly: "A little bit."
Gu Yanying seemed to be thinking about something, and nodded with a smile, "Then I'll trouble Captain Huo. It will be faster if two of us work together."
The two of them walked out of the main room one after the other. Su Lingyu inexplicably felt that this scene was a bit too harmonious... If one had to make an analogy, it would probably be like Lin Daiyu and Godzilla being brothers.
She tapped the system: [Xiao Tongzi, when did they become so close? ]
The system's baby voice immediately sounded: [I don't know! I never thought that the two of them would actually cook together one day! ]
[A male protagonist and a villain, this combination is indeed a bit too exciting. It always feels like a fight will break out at any moment. ]
Su Lingyu thought for a moment: [Hmm... I'm not worried that they will fight.]
[Huo Yan has always been calm and steady. Given his personality, unless he encountered something extreme, he would never attack Gu Yanying when he came to thank her.]
[I just sensed a strange competitive spirit from Huo Yan, and I thought it was a bit abnormal.]
The system curiously asked: [What is the competitive spirit? ]
Su Lingyu tried for a second, but found that she didn't know how to describe it: [... Never mind, never mind, maybe I'm wrong. ]
Instead of sitting there wasting time and thinking about acupuncture anesthesia, she looked at Jiang Yufeng beside her and said, "Master, let's talk about the topic. The research has entered the final stage. If we work hard, we may be able to get results next month."
Jiang Yufeng glanced at her carefree face and said, "...Okay."
…
In the kitchen.
Ever since she received Jiang Yufeng's call last night, Gu Yanying has been thinking about what dishes to cook today, and she went to the market early this morning to buy fresh ingredients.
In the morning, Su Lingyu and Huo Yan brought a lot of rare ingredients, so there were more options to choose from.
He was very methodical. He first decided on the menu, then divided the main ingredients into portions according to the menu, divided the ginger, scallions, garlic and other ingredients into portions, and then started preparing the dishes.
Huo Yan observed for a while and asked, "Is there anything I can do?"
Gu Yanying glanced at him and pointed at two of the ingredients: "Peel and cut the taro into pieces, chop the chicken into pieces and blanch them in water to rinse off the blood foam. Tear the cabbage into thumb-sized pieces, wash them clean, and drain the water. That's all."
"OK."
"You can?"
Huo Yan nodded: "I will."
He got up at five in the morning and borrowed a cookbook from Zhang's mother. He read it in one hour and asked Zhang's mother many questions, so he was quite experienced.
At least he could understand the slightly technical term "blanching" and knew the specific steps.
The two of them occasionally chatted about cooking and occasionally communicated about setting up traps for the Infinite Organization. There was a kind of magical harmony between them.
Jiang Yufeng was really worried, so while chatting with Su Lingyu, she pulled her to the kitchen door to observe.
Taking a quick peek inside, she saw that the two of them were getting along well. Gu Yanying patiently taught Huo Yan how to cut the silk, and Huo Yan humbly thanked her and smiled.
Turning back, she lowered her voice and said to Su Lingyu: "You are not worried about them, I am worried, but now you can rest assured."
“……”Su Lingyu nodded.
She wasn't really worried.
It’s just cooking. Gu Yanying is an experienced cook. It’s impossible for her to blow up the kitchen.
However, what the two of them didn't know was that as soon as they left, Huo Yan and Gu Yanying looked at each other, snorted at the same time, and stopped acting.
