Chapter 572: Orchid
Murong was insistent on raising Orchids, and he couldn’t even do it well.
Chi Yan: “…”
Chi Yan had wanted to have a proper argument with her, but she ran away too quickly, and he couldn’t catch her.
Speaking of which, the person who ran the fastest in the supermarket wasn’t Murong, it was Su Yinhe.
One point for her.
After Su Yinhe ran away, she gave herself a big thumbs-up in her mind.
Awesome.
She was really great, so great.
She was so capable.
She was a flirt.
Fabulous.
She was great.
Su Yinhe praised herself vigorously in her mind.
She had always been flustered by Chi Yan’s tormenting, but now, it was finally her turn.
Heh heh heh.
She was great.
Flirt and run.
She was super capable.
Su Yinhe giggled like an idiot.
However, while laughing to herself, she felt like she was becoming a bit like someone.
Very much alike.
Su Yinhe’s face darkened.
No no no, she didn’t want that.
Damn it.
She didn’t want to be like Murong, so silly, too stupid.
She didn’t want that at all.
She wanted to be smart.
Su Yinhe felt it was inauspicious and looked down on herself for a moment.
She felt like she might have some serious illness.
Yeah.
Forget it, better not to look down on herself. If anyone had an illness, it was Murong; she might have just caught it from him.
Su Yinhe touched her face.
She had to be well, she must stay well.
She was so good, she had to stay well.
Wuu wuu wuu wuu wuu wuu wuu wuu wuu.
Su Yinhe started to sob.
She really felt like she might have caught it.
Because of this, Su Yinhe looked at Murong for several days, and she found him unpleasant to look at.
She found him irritating.
The damned source of infection.
Murong: “???”
“Galaxy, why are you looking at me like that?” Murong was utterly confused.
“Because I like you, that’s why I’m looking at you,” Su Yinhe said without thinking.
Murong: “???”
Murong cautiously looked in Chi Yan’s direction.
Would Brother Chi really not kill him?
Chi Yan looked displeased, but for the moment, he didn’t seem to have any plans to kill him.
Murong breathed a sigh of relief. As long as Chi Yan didn’t want him dead, that was fine.
“Galaxy, although I know you have an unrequited love for me, could you not be so blunt when you speak? Think of my poor life,” Murong pleaded with her.
“Fine fine fine, I’ll be more subtle,” Su Yinhe pondered with her head down for a moment, then said, “Could you go and do some cleaning for me?”
Murong: “Wait, why has it turned into me doing the cleaning again?” Is this Galaxy’s idea of being subtle?
“Yes, I like men who love to clean. You doing the cleaning means I like you. Is that subtle enough?” Su Yinhe said, smiling brilliantly.
But her smile was too bright, sending a chill down Murong’s back.
“But… this… it doesn’t seem right,” he actually didn’t quite appreciate Galaxy’s kind of ‘liking.’
“Go!” Su Yinhe suddenly raised her voice, frightening Murong into picking up a broom and running away.
Where did the broom come from? Of course, Chi Yan had silently handed it over.
He was used to doing this kind of thing.
“You’re always so obedient,” Su Yinhe affirmed as she looked at him.
“Mhm, of course I am,” Chi Yan nodded.
He was the most obedient.
Therefore, it was enough if she liked him; how could irrelevant people deserve her affection?
“Good, good, good, obedient,” Su Yinhe said after calling him obedient and then lay down.
Calling for Lin Murong so loudly just now had exhausted a lot of her energy. Now she was tired and needed to rest.
Chi Yan looked at the collapsing Su Yinhe, hesitating to speak.
Su Yinhe noticed and tilted her head, “What’s wrong? Just say whatever you want to say. Why be polite with me?”
“Um… okay. I…”
“You… are you feeling shy?” Su Yinhe suddenly raised her hand excitedly and pointed at him as she asked.
“Yeah. A little,” Chi Yan honestly admitted, indeed feeling shy.
“Don’t be shy, just say it,” Su Yinhe insisted, Chi Yan’s timid wife-like appearance somewhat took her breath away.
“It’s just… um… I…” Chi Yan was still somewhat that, stammering.
Su Yinhe was getting anxious listening to him.
“What is it, just say it. Don’t be shy,” Su Yinhe said, and not lying down anymore, she propped herself up, leaned in close to him, and asked with a pair of bright, sparkling eyes.
“I want to eat the food you cook,” Chi Yan finally let out his shy confession after a while.
He even closed his eyes when he said it.
To be honest, ever since Chi Yan and Lin Murong moved in next to the supermarket, it seemed like Su Yinhe hadn’t really cooked a proper meal by herself.
The fried fries didn’t count.
“You want to eat?” Su Yinhe raised an eyebrow.
“Yes,” Chi Yan honestly admitted.
He didn’t quite know why, but suddenly he really wanted to eat her cooking.
Su Yinhe stared at him for a while, for a long time, before finally letting out a light laugh.
“Alright, I’ll cook for you.” It had been so long since she had cooked, and occasionally doing it to please her boyfriend was okay.
Every day would definitely not do, but occasionally was fine.
“Um… you don’t need to make too much, just a little bit is fine,” Chi Yan was actually conflicted; he wanted to eat her cooking, but also feared tiring her out.
“Okay~ alright,” Su Yinhe tiptoed, signaling him to lower his head, and when Chi Yan did, she took the opportunity to pat his head.
“Don’t worry, I won’t tire myself out. I’m not one to suffer unnecessary hardships, I like to enjoy life.”
“Then I’ll go help you prep.”
“No need, Lin Murong is here,” she decided not to let Chi Yan help with prepping the food, and instead to let Lin Murong do it – give Chi Yan a surprise.
Uh-huh…
A little surprise.
“You can try to guess the dish’s name.”
Chi Yan: “Okay,” Chi Yan obediently nodded.
“No hints though, but I believe you’re smart enough to guess it right,” Su Yinhe encouraged him.
Chi Yan: “…I’ll try.”
“Great, I’m going to look for Lin Murong now,” Su Yinhe hummed as she went in search of Lin Murong, who was cleaning with a broom.
Poor Lin Murong, just finished cleaning and now he was dragged into prepping the food.
“Why do you pick on me alone?” Lin Murong asked with an air of grievance while washing the vegetables, growing more mournful until he couldn’t resist asking.
“Because you’re easy to pick on,” Su Yinhe patted his head and rinsed her hands under the tap before continuing to prep the vegetables.
Lin Murong: “… You woman, you’re mean. Am I just a part of your play?”
Wuu wuu wuu wuu.
He was about to cry.
He suffered bullying every day, and then there’s no share for him in the food.
He was about to make a scene, about to cry.
Wuu wuu wuu wuu.
Lin Murong whimpered without tears.
Su Yinhe got a bit impatient, “What are you howling about? You have a share.”
With that said, Lin Murong stopped.
“Hehehe, really? I have a share? If I have a share, then all is good, all is good,” he chuckled foolishly and then started to prep earnestly.
So diligent.
Su Yinhe: “…”
Alright, so it was that simple to make Lin Murong work hard.
She felt as if she had mastered some new PUA technique.
Not bad at all.
