Chapter 009: Continuous Rain
After taking a shower in the cold rain, Han Yu was surprised to find Lin Yun had actually cooked two dishes and a soup in the kitchen, with the remaining ingredients neatly organized. He wondered to himself, could it be that cooking and preparing food is this guy's talent?
"It’s raining heavily here, give me the umbrella." Lin Yun reached for the umbrella in Han Yuxi's hand with one hand. Looking at Lin Yun's foolish expression and his complete lack of concern for others, Han Yuxi felt a pang of sadness in her heart. She really wanted to just rush back, but when she thought about the state of the person beside her, she realized that even if she got drenched, he wouldn’t feel guilty or anything. She still had to go to work, and if she caught a cold, she would have to take leave, which was not what she wanted.

After finishing his meal, Lin Yun washed and tidied up all the dishes and chopsticks, then returned to his room, closed the door, and continued his cultivation
Han Yuxi was once again taken aback by the delicious dishes prepared by Lin Yun, which were simply too good to resist. Unconsciously, he had eaten more than half of the two small plates. However, Lin Yun's disgusting eating habits made Han Yuxi lose his appetite for his own dishes. He resembled a pig, making loud smacking noises while eating. Although he wanted to eat a bit more, he glanced at Lin Yun and set down his chopsticks, heading upstairs to attend to his own matters and study.
Seeing Lin Yun wipe his nose and give a silly smile, he continued to sort his vegetables. Han Yuxi was truly at a loss for words, feeling an indescribable frustration towards that face. She furrowed her brows and couldn't be bothered to ask him again, directly heading to take a shower. Although she hadn't been caught in the rain, Han Yuxi, by nature, loved cleanliness, and the strong winds before the rain had blown some dust onto her, making her feel quite uncomfortable.
Achoo! Lin Yun sneezed and wiped his nose with his hand. Although nothing came off, it was enough to make Han Yuxi feel disgusted.
Han Yu returned to the room, surprisingly lacking the motivation to attend to her own matters. At one moment, she thought about wanting to have dinner quickly, and at another, she pondered how she managed to return without getting her clothes wet. After thinking for a while, she finally came to her senses, shook her head, and mused that perhaps she had been too tired these past few days. She collapsed onto the bed and surprisingly fell asleep quickly.
Seeing Han Yuxi leave in the cold rain, Lin Yun was too lazy to ask her. Just now, he had hurried back to help the swiftly departing Han Yuxi with her umbrella, and his long coat was completely soaked.
However, Lin Yun had simply helped him with an umbrella, which he had not paid much attention to. A single umbrella of that size was barely sufficient for one person; at the very least, half of his clothing should have been damp. Yet, the reality was that his entire upper garment was dry. Suddenly, as if recalling something, he hurriedly rushed downstairs.
Waking up from a refreshing sleep after a chilly rain, I felt very comfortable. It had been a long time since I experienced such a feeling. Upon checking the time, I realized I had slept for over five hours. I hurried to wash up and went downstairs, hoping that Lin Yun had already prepared the meal. Indeed, the rice cooker in the kitchen was already heating up.
A trace of melancholy flashed in Lin Yun's eyes. Although his eating habits were not refined, he had no desire to change them. After all, he and Han Yuxi would not be together for a lifetime; he preferred to eat in the way he liked. In the future, he would try to avoid dining with her.
What is going on? Why are only my pant legs wet while my clothes are dry? Could it be that Lin Yun helped me hold the umbrella all the way, and I was so excited earlier that I only focused on looking down while walking back, not paying attention?
However, looking at the steaming dishes on the table, which were also quite visually appealing, and considering that I was already very hungry, I hesitated for a moment but soon lost my restraint. I directly picked up a bowl of rice that Lin Yun had prepared and began to eat it with the dishes. Upon seeing Han Yuxi had already started eating, Lin Yun also stopped being polite and quickly served himself a bowl of rice and began to eat.
It took only ten minutes to cover a journey that should have taken over ten minutes. Without considering whether Lin Yun had followed her back, Han Yuxi took out her keys, opened the door, and tossed the vegetables into the corner by the door. She then rushed to her room and collapsed onto the bed, silently shedding tears.
Regardless of whether she was getting wet in the rain, Han Yuxi hurriedly walked with her head down, her mind filled with unknown thoughts. She only felt a slight sting in her nose, and as the rain fell heavier, she looked at her completely soaked pant legs. Finally, she could no longer hold back her tears, which fell onto her pant legs along with the rain.
Lin Yun practiced for four hours and then stood up. He was quite satisfied with his progress; given the scarcity of spiritual energy in this place, he was already very pleased with this speed. It seemed that he would be able to form a nebula in less than a week. At that time, he would be able to absorb the essence of the stars at night, significantly accelerating his cultivation speed.
After going downstairs to prepare the meal and finishing my portion, I continued to ascend the stairs to practice my cultivation
Han Yu, upon hearing the sound of Lin Yun closing the door as he went upstairs, realized that he had finished his meal. Only then did he descend the stairs and head to the kitchen, feeling that he had not eaten enough earlier and wanting to have a little more before washing the bowl.
Han Yu was savoring the delicious meal, thinking to himself that this fool is not entirely without merit
However, upon opening the rice cooker, I found it to be spotless, not a single drop of water remained, let alone any food remnants. I sighed in resignation, thinking that everything was indeed very clean. I took out a steamed bun I had bought at noon from the refrigerator, heated it in the microwave, and took a bite, but it was tasteless and I couldn't eat it at all, so I put the bun back in. Suddenly, I felt a flush on my face; could it be that I actually wanted to eat the dish cooked by Lin Yun?
"It's too heavy, I can't lift it." Han Yuxi was still in a daze when Lin Yun, hiding behind her umbrella, spoke up.
In the cold rain, I held an umbrella and watched the torrential downpour, admiring the luck of this fellow who seemed to have it all, truly a fool's luck. Suddenly, I recalled a movie I had seen, "Forrest Gump," in which Forrest also mentioned that fools have their blessings. Could it really be so?
With a cold glance at Lin Yun, Han Yuxi held an umbrella in one hand while using the other to carry several convenience bags that Lin Yun had handed to her
Lin Yun was in the kitchen sorting vegetables, as if he had just returned. However, his shirt was dry. Han Yu's heart grew increasingly puzzled; Lin Yun had not been caught in the rain, so what about herself? Looking again at Lin Yun's feet, she noticed that he had already washed his feet and changed into a clean pair of cloth shoes.
Helplessly handing the umbrella to Lin Yun, I kept my head down and walked forward with determination, truly unwilling to stand together with this person
Just as Han Yuxi was about to undress for a shower, she froze in place, realizing that her top was completely dry, with only a few scattered droplets remaining. These were the few drops that had fallen when she handed the umbrella to Lin Yun. However, it had clearly rained heavily just moments ago, and Lin Yun had taken the umbrella away.
After feeling sad, Han Yuxi stood up, telling herself that she needed to hurry and take a shower; otherwise, if she caught a cold tomorrow, she would be unable to go to work. Although in Han Yuxi's eyes this was no longer a home, there was already a patient like this here. If she were to fall ill again, she would end up suppressing herself just like this person in the house.
Once, I dreamed countless times of my prince charming, who would gracefully approach me with a rose, place a diamond ring on my finger, and promise to love me forever. However, upon waking, I found only a fool who bullied me, even arguing with me over an umbrella.
Upon returning in the cold rain, she went straight upstairs and closed the door, leaving him unaware of her actions. He first took off his long jacket and hung it on the balcony to dry, then washed his feet with hot water. After he was done, he went down to the kitchen to organize the groceries he had bought. He knew this was his food for the week, so he certainly did not dare to be negligent.
