Chapter 15
Shi Miaomiao glanced at him, and then thought about how much help he had given her today, so she felt embarrassed to say anything more.
Just said: "Okay, I'll treat you next time."
Unexpectedly, Lian Jian actually shook her head and said, "You don't have to invite me. Just come to my house this weekend and cook a meal for me."
Shi Miaomiao: "???"
She knew it wasn't that simple.
Shi Miaomiao looked up at Lian Jian and could only frown, "Alright."
At this time, the military training team on the playground had already dispersed, and Shi Miaomiao went straight back to the dormitory.
When they returned to the dormitory, Liu Yueyue and Li Bing'er brought her cell phone back to her. They were all concerned about her situation. Only when they saw that she was fine did they disperse.
Although it was September, the weather was still extremely hot. Coupled with the intense military training in the morning, everyone was exhausted. We finally had some time to rest, so we all took a nap to recuperate.
The days of military training were fulfilling and unforgettable. The weekend finally came and everyone was able to have a good rest, but Shi Miaomiao was reminded by Lian Jian to go to his house to cook.
Because she had already agreed, Shi Miaomiao didn't want to delay any longer, so she packed her things and went to the school gate, where Lian Jian was already waiting.
"Let's go."
Shi Miaomiao came to Lian Jian today wearing a simple outfit of jeans, a T-shirt, and a bun.
Lian Jian looked Shi Miaomiao up and down. After a week of military training, Shi Miaomiao not only didn't get any darker, but even got a little whiter, and looked more and more beautiful. He asked curiously, "How come you're getting more and more beautiful? And military training doesn't make you tanned?"
Nonsense, she has a system.
Shi Miaomiao said casually: "It may be due to your physique, and aren't you also very white?"
After Shi Miaomiao finished speaking, she looked Lian Jian over from head to toe.
Lian Jian looked at the skin that was exposed and said to herself, "I'm still a little darker."
Seeing him still agonizing over whether it was white or not, Shi Miaomiao couldn't help but sigh, "Lian Jian, aren't we supposed to cook? At your current speed, it will be dark by the time you're done."
Lian Jian smiled and said, "Okay, let's not dwell on this anymore. I just think you're getting prettier. Let's go buy groceries first."
Lian Jian opened the passenger door and asked Shi Miaomiao to sit in.
Shi Miaomiao didn't hesitate and sat directly in the passenger seat.
Lian Jian took Shi Miaomiao to a supermarket very close to their home because they had to pick some vegetables first.
Shi Miaomiao walked in front picking vegetables, and Lian Jian followed behind carrying things. The two looked like a young newlywed couple.
After the purchase, the two returned to Lian Jian’s home outside the school.
The house Lian Jian bought is a high-end residence close to Pingjin University.
There are two floors, each quite large, with a black, white and grey colour scheme that is low-key yet subtle, exuding a strong sense of minimalism. Shi Miaomiao couldn't help but frown as soon as she entered.
"Your house is too deserted." Shi Miaomiao looked around.
"It's inevitable that I'll feel lonely when I'm alone." Lian Jian's tone of voice was teasing.
"Where are your parents?" Shi Miaomiao asked.
"Who wants to live with them? They're showing off their love to me every day." Lian Jian had a smile on his face when he said this, and it was obvious that he was very happy.
"That's good too, unlike me..." Shi Miaomiao smiled, thinking that she had been dependent on her grandmother, and that Shi Miaomiao in the book was also a person who was not loved by her father and not cared about by her mother. She couldn't help but sigh in her heart, alas, it was all fate.
Lian Jian saw that Shi Miaomiao's smile was rather forced, and blurted out, "Why don't you just treat my parents as your parents in the future?"
Shi Miaomiao turned around instantly and looked at Lian Jian in shock, as if he had said something horrifying.
Lian Jian realized what he had said and quickly changed his words, "I mean, you treat me as your brother, so my parents are your parents, right?"
"I don't want to." Shi Miaomiao refused.
If his friend has to help him cook, wouldn't it be more troublesome in the future if he becomes his sister?
Well, forget it.
"Are you so resistant to being my sister?" Lian Jian laughed.
"Of course." Shi Miaomiao nodded without hesitation.
Lian Jian smiled and shook his head helplessly.
"Okay, okay, I get it. You don't want to be my sister. Let's go and cook first." Lian Jian said as he pushed Shi Miaomiao to the kitchen.
In the kitchen, there are all kinds of kitchen utensils.
Shi Miaomiao took a look, then turned back to glance at Lian Jian, "Your kitchen doesn't look like you've ever cooked before."
"I really haven't done it." Lian Jian smiled embarrassedly.
"Then what do you usually eat?" Shi Miaomiao asked puzzledly.
"I'm still at home during the summer vacation. My aunt is at home."
Shi Miaomiao nodded in understanding.
"Okay, since you can't do it, you can help me wash the vegetables, how about that?" Shi Miaomiao looked at Lian Jian.
Although Lian Jian had never done anything, he thought it was no big deal and nodded readily.
So Shi Miaomiao started working while asking Lian Jian to do some small things.
More than an hour later, Shi Miaomiao prepared the meal: a serving of lemon chicken, a serving of corn and pork ribs soup, a serving of boiled pork slices, and a serving of bean sprouts and vermicelli.
Lian Jian looked at the delicious dishes on the table and couldn't help but take a bite. Hmm, it still tasted the same as before.
"Miao Miao, your cooking skills are really good." Lian Jian praised sincerely.
Shi Miaomiao rolled her eyes at him and said, "If you have good cooking skills, go serve the food."
Shi Miaomiao brought the last serving of stir-fried water spinach to the table.
"Okay, right away." Lian Jian agreed quickly and acted quickly.
At the dinner table, Lian Jian ate with gusto. Shi Miaomiao looked at Lian Jian, then at the food on the table. She had a question in her heart, "Hey, Lian Jian, are you jealous of my cooking skills, so you always help me?"
After hearing this, Lian Jian looked at Shi Miaomiao with amusement, "Hey, Shi Miaomiao, aren't you too confident? Even though your cooking skills are really good."
Shi Miaomiao saw Lian Jian making fun of her, and said seriously, "Then tell me why."
"It's because of fate. Besides, you are alone in Pingcheng, and I am your friend. Shouldn't we help each other?" Lian Jian put down his chopsticks and looked at Shi Miaomiao seriously.
Shi Miaomiao nodded, "Okay, indeed."
"Well, isn't that right?"
"Let's eat first." Shi Miaomiao smiled embarrassedly and pointed to the dishes on the table.
Lian Jian then picked up his chopsticks and continued eating. After a few bites, Lian Jian remembered that after the military training, there would be National Day, so he looked up at Shi Miaomiao.
"Are you going back to Lincheng for National Day?"
Shi Miaomiao thought about it, there was no one at home, and it would be troublesome to go back and forth, so she shook her head, "I don't think so."
"Okay, then you can come and play with me when you have a day off."
Play with him? Then she would have more contact with him, and her heart would become more complicated and harder to sort out. Shi Miaomiao subconsciously wanted to refuse.
But when she thought about being alone in the dormitory with no one to play with after the holiday, Shi Miaomiao hesitated.
He probably treats himself as his sister, so there shouldn't be so many problems.
Shi Miaomiao finally agreed to Lian Jian's request.
"Okay, but let me be clear, I won't cook for you."
Lian Jian nodded, "Of course. How can I take you out to play and ask you to cook?"
Shi Miaomiao was relieved.
Lian Jian smiled especially happily when he saw Shi Miaomiao agreed.
Shi Miaomiao couldn't figure out why he suddenly laughed, so she shook her head helplessly, thinking that he was just crazy.
After dinner, Shi Miaomiao lay leisurely in the living room watching TV, while Lian Jian was washing dishes and mopping the floor in the kitchen.
The two of them get along very harmoniously.
When Lian Jian came out of the kitchen, he saw Shi Miaomiao watching a Korean drama with a silly smile on her face.
Lian Jian shifted his gaze to the TV and discovered that the handsome guy on TV was none other than one of the hottest young male stars in Korea. Even someone like Lian Jian who didn't pay much attention to the entertainment industry knew about this, so you can imagine how popular the male star was.
"Is he handsome?" Lian Jian asked in a strange tone.
"Quite handsome." Shi Miaomiao glanced at him indifferently and replied.
Lian Jian frowned and stood right in front of Shi Miaomiao, saying, "Then I'll come closer and see how handsome he is."
Shi Miaomiao looked at the human-shaped wall in front of her that completely blocked the handsome guy, and frowned slightly, "Lian Jian, you're blocking my view."
Unexpectedly, Lian Jian pretended not to hear him. He turned around and picked up the remote control on the table, saying, "He's so handsome. I'll turn up the volume so I can hear his voice clearly."
As he spoke, he fiddled with the remote control a few times, and the TV screen went completely black.
Shi Miaomiao said angrily: "Lian Jian, did you do this on purpose?"
Lian Jian turned around and shook his head innocently, "I really didn't mean it. Good things should be shared with everyone. I didn't expect that after just a few adjustments, this would happen."
Lian Jian looked aggrieved when he said this.
Shi Miaomiao stood up quickly and glared at him a few times with grievance, "You did it on purpose, deliberately trying to piss me off. I'm going back to school and don't want to play with you anymore."
Lian Jian liked seeing Shi Miaomiao angry, but Lian Jian was afraid that Shi Miaomiao would really not play with him next time, so he quickly caught up with Shi Miaomiao and held her hand to explain.
"I really didn't mean it. I'm sorry, Miaomiao, please forgive me."
Shi Miaomiao couldn't stand other people's misery, and even more so, she couldn't stand other people playing the victim, especially when the person was such a handsome guy.
Lian Jian's coquettish look towards her softened Shi Miaomiao's heart.
Her face was still very cold. "Then tell me, where did you go wrong?"
"I shouldn't have taken the remote control." Lian Jian replied.
"Is this the fault?" Shi Miaomiao looked up and rolled her eyes at him.
"I shouldn't press the buttons randomly." Lian Jian continued.
"What else?" Shi Miaomiao's tone had become much more relaxed.
"I shouldn't have stood in front of you and clicked around with the remote."
Lian Jian's entire sentence completely calmed Shi Miaomiao down.
Shi Miaomiao nodded in satisfaction, looking like a teachable child, "That's pretty good."
She glanced at Lian Jian again and said with a smile, "So next time you encounter the same situation, you should know what to do."
Lian Jian nodded, "I understand."
Shi Miaomiao curled her lips and smiled, "Then tell me, what should you do next time."
"Next time, just turn off the power directly, it will be easier."
