Chapter 573: Broccoli
Orchid couldn’t thrive, so Lin Murong had no choice but to switch to growing Broccoli instead.
Lin Murong drank two big bowls in a row.
Su Yinhe was engrossed in the drama and was unaware that Chi Yan was thinking all sorts of strange things to himself.
Chi Yan fed her a piece, then ate one himself; fortunately, Lin Murong didn’t stroll over. Otherwise, she would have had to exclaim “Stop showing off your love!” again.
His timing was just perfect. As Su Yinhe finished the drama, the fruits were also just finished.
Everything was just perfect.
His control over time was always impressive.
“Is it delicious?” Chi Yan asked her.
Su Yinhe still had the last piece of watermelon in her mouth.
Chewing it, she found the watermelon very sweet, very juicy, and very tasty. “Yes, it’s delicious.”
“Do you like it?” he asked again.
“I love it, of course I love it. How could I not like it?”
“Then I’ll make another for you next time. Or, I could make a few more now and put them in the space. When you feel like having some, you can just take them out…”
“There’s no need, you… you don’t have to make so many. Don’t work too hard. I’d feel really bad.”
“It’s not hard work, just cutting some fruit. How could it be hard work?” Chi Yan patted her head.
“I know, it’s just… I feel for you,” Su Yinhe coquettishly said.
Chi Yan’s gaze deepened as he looked at her.
“Okay, thank you. I really… like you a lot.” He always treated her so well; how could he not like her? He was becoming fonder of her by the day.
He really wanted, really wanted to keep her all to himself.
Only for him to see.
No one else was allowed to see.
She was his and his alone.
But, he couldn’t do that. It would make her unhappy.
He didn’t want her to be unhappy; he wanted her to do whatever she wanted to do. To be happy.
“Ah… why… a sudden confession again? It’s a bit embarrassing,” Su Yinhe touched her face, which she felt was getting hot.
Really now.
“I don’t know. Maybe it’s because…” he liked her too much.
Because he liked her too much, he always found it hard to restrain himself, and love was hard to contain.
“Okay, okay, I get it, I know what you’re going to say. Don’t say it.” She… felt shy. Really shy.
Chi Yan watched her and chuckled softly.
“Okay, I’ll listen to you.”
Lin Murong wandered around and finally ended up over here.
Luckily, his timing for wandering was okay, and he didn’t run into anything.
But it was still a close call.
“Yo, Galaxy, you’re really enjoying yourself with drama, snacks, bubble tea, and a man. If things go as expected, there should also be an empty fruit plate,” Lin Murong said, glancing at Chi Yan.
His last sentence was said with an obvious sarcastic tone.
Su Yinhe: “…”
“Heh, not bad. After all, I am the boss, am I not? If I don’t enjoy myself, who will?” Su Yinhe raised her eyebrows at him.
Lin Murong: “…”
That’s… also true?
“Um… what are you doing?” Su Yinhe couldn’t help but ask as she watched the strangely-behaving Lin Murong.
Lin Murong was actually…
Smelling…
The plate.
Yes, the one that held the fruit.
It smelled that good?
What an odd habit.
“Me? I didn’t get to eat any, is it wrong to have a sniff?” Lin Murong said plaintively.
Su Yinhe: “…”
Okay, it was another story she didn’t know about.
Su Yinhe glanced at Chi Yan.
What had happened between these two again?
“Nothing, his head’s just not right.” Although Su Yinhe hadn’t spoken, he knew what she wanted to say. Her expression said it all.
Su Yinhe: “…”
Hmm, it’s confirmed then, both are a bit abnormal.
In such a huge supermarket, she seems to be the only normal person.
They’re all abnormal.
Only she is the epitome of normalcy.
“You’re the one who’s not normal! Brother Chi, you’re slandering me!” Murong was furious; not getting to eat the fruit platter was one thing, but being slandered by Chi Yan was too much.
Over the top.
“Whether it’s slander or not… you’re well aware.” Chi Yan said, his face expressionless.
Murong: “…”
It seemed… it wasn’t really slander.
But…
He was bent out of shape but still tried to puff himself up.
It didn’t matter.
“No way, you are slandering, and you owe me an apology! Otherwise, I will… I will…” Murong stammered for a long time but couldn’t finish his threat.
“Heh. Take your time.”
“Hey! Galaxy, you deal with this.” Murong, having no way to handle Brother Chi, turned to Su Yinhe.
Su Yinhe: “…” She didn’t really have a solution either.
She certainly couldn’t… confront Chi Yan. Besides, she didn’t want to confront him.
Su Yinhe’s eyes shifted as she decided to take it out on Murong.
“Murong, do you want to eat some fries?”
Murong: “??? Sure…” Murong said, not daring to be too eager.
It wasn’t because he was full and couldn’t eat anymore; he ate quickly and digested quickly.
He could eat again soon.
It’s just that Su Yinhe’s question sounded horrifying no matter how he heard it.
“Alright then, go peel some potatoes. I’ll make fries for you once you’re done.” Su Yinhe gestured a heart at him.
Murong: “???”
“You’re going to make them yourself?!!!” Murong’s voice hit a piercing crescendo.
“Yeah, aren’t you touched?” Su Yinhe winked at him.
“Moved, very moved, truly.” Murong was a bit scared, “But, I don’t really need to eat them.” It wasn’t that he didn’t want to peel potatoes, he was just a bit scared.
“Don’t eat? Why not? What makes you think you can refuse? Eat! You must eat for me! How can you not eat? I’m personally making fries, and you’re saying you don’t want to eat them?” Su Yinhe looked displeased.
“But… I wouldn’t dare to trouble our boss to do it personally. Peeling is a small matter, I can do it myself. And I’m not that fond of fries.” He didn’t really like them in the first place.
Murong felt like crying.
“No, you love them now. Wait for me to make them.” Su Yinhe patted his shoulder.
“Ah… alright.” Murong’s face was a picture of misery, harboring a very bad premonition.
“Good boy. Go peel them,” Su Yinhe gestured another heart.
Murong: “…”
Damn it.
He really didn’t want fries anymore.
But Su Yinhe was forcing him to want them.
Dammit.
And he couldn’t even resist.
Murong obediently went to peel the potatoes.
Su Yinhe felt quite clever, having averted an argument without making a sound.
It’s just that after sending Murong off to peel potatoes, she had forgotten about Chi Yan.
As soon as Murong left, Chi Yan became unhappy.
“You’re making fries for him?”
“Ah, yeah. What’s wrong?”
“No, I don’t agree.” Chi Yan was very displeased.
“Why not? It’s just making some fries.”
“You haven’t made them for me. But you’re making them for him first.” Chi Yan was upset.
“Oh, but… um… you… don’t you dislike this kind of stuff?” This kind, fried, Chi Yan’s least favorite.
“I don’t like them, but you’re the one making them.” Chi Yan would like anything Galaxy made.
“You… cough cough cough.” Su Yinhe felt a bit embarrassed again.
“Well… once they’re done, you eat first, and Murong can have the leftovers.” Su Yinhe suggested a solution.
Chi Yan was still somewhat dissatisfied.
