TCBHIWAF Chapter 87

Chapter 87: Mom, Why Are You Here?

Lin Yu looked at Ye Xingchen with a face full of guilt and said carefully:

“Xingchen, you’re already having an allergic reaction, I shouldn’t make you work so hard. But I’m really not good at cooking. Could you teach me to make something simple with some ingredients I buy? I want to do something for you.”

Ye Xingchen looked at Lin Yu’s eyes, full of self-reproach and anticipation, and his heart warmed.

“Okay, I’ll teach you.”

The two arrived at the supermarket. Ye Xingchen endured his discomfort, selecting ingredients while explaining to Lin Yu.

He picked up some cucumbers and tomatoes, saying, “These can be eaten after washing, they’re refreshing and appetizing.”

Then he picked out broccoli, “This is easy to stir-fry.”

Next, he selected some chicken breast from the meat section, “This meat is easy to pan-fry and not prone to mistakes.”

After that, he picked out some fruit before going to the checkout.

Back home, Ye Xingchen sat in the kitchen chair, patiently guiding Lin Yu: “First cut the broccoli into small florets, blanch them in water, remember to add some salt and oil to keep the color green.”

Lin Yu followed the instructions clumsily, looking at Ye Xingchen nervously from time to time, afraid of making a mistake.

When handling the chicken breast, Ye Xingchen said, “Make a few cuts on both sides of the meat, marinate it with salt, cooking wine, and light soy sauce for a while, so it will be more flavorful.”

Lin Yu earnestly carried out each step.

While pan-frying the chicken breast, the oil in the pan suddenly splattered out, making Lin Yu tremble with fright.

Ye Xingchen quickly got up, held Lin Yu’s hand, and stabilized the spatula, “Don’t panic, pan-fry it slowly over low heat, it’s almost cooked when both sides are golden brown.”

…

Finally, under Ye Xingchen’s guidance, several dishes were barely completed.

Lin Yu said with anticipation and trepidation, “Xingchen, try it quickly, I don’t know if it suits your taste.”

Ye Xingchen picked up a piece of pan-fried chicken breast and put it in his mouth, chewed a few times, and a smile appeared on his face.

“Mmm, not bad, you did a great job.”

“Is it really that delicious?”

Lin Yu looked suspicious, picked up his chopsticks and took a bite, and instantly frowned.

How was this delicious?

The chicken was obviously overcooked, the texture was dry, and the seasoning seemed to be lacking something.

“This isn’t delicious, you’re comforting me.” Lin Yu put down his chopsticks and said somewhat dejectedly.

Ye Xingchen gently held Lin Yu’s hand, his eyes full of doting.

“I’m not comforting you, I really like eating what you make. As long as it’s made with your heart for me, it’s the most delicious in my heart.”

Lin Yu looked at Ye Xingchen moved, muttering, “You’re coaxing me.”

Ye Xingchen smiled and patted Lin Yu on the shoulder, “Yu, I’m not coax ing you, I really think it’s good. When two people are together, what you eat isn’t important, what’s important is who made it.”

Lin Yu smiled helplessly, “Silver tongue.”

“Don’t dwell on the taste, let’s take the dishes over and eat, they’ll get cold if we don’t eat them soon.”

Lin Yu responded and took the dishes to the coffee table in the living room with Ye Xingchen.

At this time, the sky was getting dark, and the Lingyun Villa under the night was even more warm and cozy.

The two snuggled on the soft sofa, watching TV while eating.

Ye Xingchen picked up a cucumber, dipped it in some sauce, and handed it to Lin Yu’s mouth. Lin Yu opened his mouth and bit it, saying vaguely, “I really have to thank you for choosing these ingredients, they’re simple and delicious.”

Ye Xingchen smiled, took one himself, and said while eating, “Of course, I have an excellent eye for selecting ingredients.”

Lin Yu picked up a piece of pan-fried chicken breast and waved it in front of Ye Xingchen, “Come on, try it again, I don’t believe what I made is as delicious as you say.”

Ye Xingchen cooperated and took a bite, deliberately showing a very enjoyable expression, “Mmm, delicious, what my Yu makes is different, this unique taste is not available anywhere else.”

Lin Yu couldn’t help but laugh and gently Hacked Ye Xingchen.

“Hypocrite.”

The two of them ate like this, teasing each other with every other word. Before they knew it, the food was gone, and it was completely dark outside.

At this moment, Ye Xingchen stood up, cleaned up the dishes on the coffee table, and prepared to go to the kitchen to wash them.

Seeing this, Lin Yu quickly stopped him, “I’ll wash them, you’re having an allergic reaction, you can’t touch those dirty water, what if it worsens your allergy?”

Ye Xingchen looked at Lin Yu’s firm eyes, his heart warmed.

“Okay, then I’ll leave it to you.”

Lin Yu walked into the kitchen with the dishes, and soon, the sound of running water and the clinking of tableware came from the kitchen.

Ye Xingchen changed the TV program to an old movie that they both liked in the living room.

Not long after, Lin Yu finished washing the dishes, washed some fruit, cut it into small pieces and put it on a plate, and brought it out.

He gently placed it on the coffee table and sat down next to Ye Xingchen, “Come on, eat some fruit.”

Ye Xingchen took a piece of fruit with a fork and put it in his mouth, the juice spread between his taste buds, sweet and delicious, turned to look at Lin Yu, his eyes full of love.

“Yu, being with you is really good.”

Lin Yu blushed slightly.

“Don’t be so cheesy, watch the movie.”

The two leaned together, eating fruit while immersed in the plot of the movie…

As the two were watching with interest, suddenly, a clear doorbell rang “Ding-Dong–Ding-Dong–”

Lin Yu was stunned for a moment and quickly got up to open the door.

“Who is it so late!”

As soon as the door opened, he saw Bai Shiya standing at the door, holding a thermal box in her hand.

Bai Shiya said reproachfully, “Son, why are you so slow?”

Lin Yu asked somewhat nervously, “Mom, why are you here?”

Bai Shiya said with a smile, “Isn’t it because I’m worried about you? I heard from Aunt Liu that you let them take a vacation, so I was worried and made you some food to bring over.”

Lin Yu subconsciously looked back at Ye Xingchen in the living room, secretly praying that his mother wouldn’t find out anything.

“Mom, why didn’t you tell me you were coming?” Lin Yu said deliberately loudly.

Ye Xingchen naturally heard it, and wondered what Yu was worried about?

With their relationship, even if they slept together, his mother wouldn’t suspect anything.

He calmly sat on the sofa, not flustered at all.

As soon as Bai Shiya entered the door, she saw Ye Xingchen, not surprised at all, and said with a smile, “Xingchen, you’re here too!”

Saying that, she greeted him enthusiastically, “Have you eaten? Xingchen, come and try the dishes Auntie made.”

Lin Yu glanced at Ye Xingchen, not expecting him to still be here. Did he not understand the hint? Turning to look at Bai Shiya, he quickly replied, “Mom, we’ve already eaten.”

Bai Shiya asked curiously, “Who made it?”

Lin Yu said bravely, “Mom, I made it.”

Bai Shiya raised her eyebrows and joked, “Can you even make something edible?” Then she said with a smile, “Come on, try the dishes I brought you.”

“Thank you, Auntie, the dishes you make must be delicious.”

“You just know how to talk.” Bai Shiya said as she put the thermal box on the table and opened it. The aroma of the food filled the air with heat.

At this time, Bai Shiya seemed to realize something and looked at Ye Xingchen and asked, “Xingchen, why are you still here so late?”

As soon as Lin Yu heard this, his heart skipped a beat. He was so nervous that he quickly explained, “Mom, Xingchen has allergies, I asked him to come over.”

Bai Shiya waved her hand dismissively and said with a smile, “Even if Xingchen doesn’t have allergies, it’s okay for him to stay if he wants to. The two of you have had a good relationship since childhood, what’s wrong with living together? I’m just curious to ask.”

Ye Xingchen hurriedly replied with a smile, “Auntie is right, why are you so nervous?”

Lin Yu: “…”

Did he not know what he was nervous about?
