Chapter 9
She said plainly, "If it cannot be found, then do not search for it"
Perhaps it was because this meal was prepared by him that he experienced this inexplicable illusion. Alternatively, it might have been the overly warm yellow tones of the restaurant's chandelier that led him to this fantasy
This incident solidified his belief that he could no longer consume gutter oil
Where does the sense of home come from
Of course, Lan Yan is free. He holds the title of factory director, but does not manage any affairs, so he has plenty of leisure time
"It has not been a week, yet I cannot forget." Even small matters take time to fade away
No. The horizontal hall has been passed down through generations, merely the manuscripts of the ancestors
Lan Yan did not want to offend Lan Yu for her sake
Yin Xiaodao ignored his malicious words. She glanced at the large fish and meat in her hands and finally asked, "Who cooked?"
I." The blue flame replied lazily
The pot and basin kitchenware were handed over to the service desk for transportation. As for the other vegetables, Lan Yan only carried two bags of greens. The rest, he tossed to Yin Xiaodao
This androgynous entity will soon separate from itself
He exerted great effort to suppress his overwhelming anger and instructed her to go out and get him some paper. He specifically emphasized, "Be discreet, do not make it known. Remember, remember." He was truly concerned about her intelligence. It was possible that by the afternoon, rumors would spread in the factory about the dignified factory director borrowing paper in the restroom.
Yin Xiaodao did not quite believe his words. However, she was not picky about food; as long as it was not too unpalatable, she could tolerate it. Even if he cooked a bowl of instant noodles, she could still fill her stomach.
Yin Xiaodao followed behind him and kindly asked, "Do you need a tissue?"
Lan Yan was unwilling to revisit this matter, as it would deepen her memory of it. Therefore, he immediately fell silent.
The blue flame is relatively comfortable to live in
Lan Yan is quite satisfied with this house. The furniture is complete, and the kitchen is clean. The surrounding environment is acceptable, and it is ready for immediate occupancy
The blue flame opened the cabinet and looked at the microwave inside, "Knife Guard, can you cook?"
No. She only vaguely saw something, but it was not clear. In any case, it was not a pleasant thing
The only plan for now is to proceed step by step
Yin Xiaodao's face bore no hint of mockery. She glanced down at him squatting by the toilet and nodded before stepping outside
Unexpectedly, just halfway there, he felt a pain in his stomach again. He hurriedly took Yin Xiaodao out of the car and headed straight for the restroom in the shopping mall
Before leaving, she helped him close the door
The well-known restaurants in Xincheng are all located in the city center. The factory's public transport consists only of that dilapidated van, which looks quite dangerous to Lan Yan. Therefore, she opts to take a taxi whenever she goes out
Dining out every day is not ideal. Near the factory, there are only simple, makeshift eateries, which may be due to cleanliness issues. Recently, Lan Yan has been experiencing some digestive discomfort, to the extent that he no longer feels like going to restaurants.
On this day, Lan Yan skipped work and returned to the hotel for a long sleep. After waking up, he began to contemplate where to go for dinner that evening. He was determined to have a hearty meal today. He was truly famished.
Lan Yan looked up at Yin Xiaodao. He did not know what expression to make, and could only remain in a daze. "May I ask what brings you here?" He spoke each word extremely slowly.
He raised his eyes to look at her. Her expression remained unchanged, truly showing no signs of disturbance. His tone turned severe, "I command you to forget about what happened today"
Lan Yan glanced at the rice cooker and said with a forced smile, "Guard Dao, I have reserved four bowls of rice for you. This rice is very expensive, so do not waste a single grain."
Because Yin Xiaodao has piqued Lan Yu's interest
Lan Yan turned back and glared, "Did I not tell you to forget about this matter?"
Lan Yu mentioned that he would stay in Xincheng for a while. However, in the following days, he did not return to the factory.
As the saying goes, "In chaotic times, one practices martial arts; in prosperous times, one engages in literature." He weighed the gas stove, his fingers dusted with a bit of ash. "In this day and age, if you lack an education, you might as well go drink the northwest wind. With your low level of education, you can't even cook; whoever marries you in the future will be unfortunate."
He continued to speak calmly, "Your presence beside me is the greatest danger." Because he would surely be driven to his death by her.
After the blue flame regained its consciousness, it found it amusing
Boiled shrimp, fresh loofah with squid, garlic choy sum, and crucian carp soup
I have no time to worry; I pity your future husband. " After saying this, he sneered, "However, with your androgynous appearance, whether you can find a husband is still a question.
Yin Xiaodao was very curious, and after gazing at his back for a while, she stood beside him
The blue flame curled at the corner of his mouth, "Do you have a medical diploma?" There is a fundamental difference between a medical graduate and a quack.
This is a very unfortunate matter. Those who oppose Lan Yu have only two outcomes: one is to submit, and the other is to perish. Given Yin Xiaodao's character, the likelihood of the former is low
I warn you," said Lan Yan, holding the spatula, coldly, "if you dare to let your saliva drop into the pot, I will slay you with the spatula
The person who is following seems to be merely tracking and is not taking any action
She found it somewhat strange that he threw a number of vegetables and raw meat into the shopping cart, but she did not inquire further
The blue flame suddenly came to mind
Hmph. He turned his head and walked directly towards the fresh produce section
In such an environment, Yin Xiaodao did not even furrow her brows and explained, "I thought you were in danger"
Seeing her so supportive, Lan Yan suddenly felt that having dinner together with her made it feel very homely
"Three months later, I will naturally leave." Yin Xiaodao pushed the shopping cart and looked around. In crowded places, her vigilance was heightened.
It was somewhat coincidental that in the afternoon, Li Yonghua called, stating that there was a high-end residential property available, and inquired if Lanyan had time to take a look.
He noticed and was displeased, "Why are you sticking so close?"
He lay slumped on the sofa, weakly asking, "Knight, have you seen anything you shouldn't have?" If she answered in the affirmative, he would immediately jump up and choke her.
Three dishes and one soup
Thus, he no longer goes to the cafeteria
Lan Yan not only purchased vegetables and meat, but also acquired all the necessary cooking utensils such as pots, pans, ladles, and bowls, as well as oil, salt, soy sauce, and vinegar. Just before checking out, she also had her carry a small bag of Thai fragrant rice
Alright. She truly does not take such trivial matters to heart
The intermediary previously introduced two or three properties, but Lanyan was not interested in any of them. Li Yonghua then continued to entrust the intermediary to search for rental properties with luxurious renovations
Lan Yan casually looked around the living room and bedroom, and then stayed in the kitchen for a while
Yin Xiaodao suddenly looked forward to dinner today
In the afternoon, Lan Yan asked Li Yonghua to bring over the luggage. Then, he and Yin Xiaodao went to the supermarket
Upon reflecting on this, the blue flame flickered.
No. The horizontal hall has dedicated masters responsible for the meals. She spends all her time on martial arts and has no spare time to master the skills of the kitchen
She gazed intently, drawing closer to the blue flame
Not only the matter of the restroom, but also the appearance of Lan Yu, which Lan Yan is unwilling to recall.
The house has two bedrooms and one living room. It faces southeast and overlooks the community landscape, which is quite quiet
He wants to forget today
After Lan Yan became the factory director in Xincheng, the ambush attacks seemed to have completely disappeared. He couldn't help but feel at ease, saying, "Sword Guard, I believe you are no longer of any use to me. Who would come to this godforsaken place to kill me"
The blue flame was too lazy to pay her any mind. He tossed the pan, and with his right hand, he pinched some salt and sprinkled it into the pan
Yin Xiaodao nodded. She has always had a large appetite, and she ate without reservation, focusing intently on her meal. She felt that his culinary skills could rival those of the chefs at Henguan. It was much tastier than the restaurants they had dined at a few days ago
As soon as she left, he muttered under his breath, "Fool!" and she was indeed the most foolish one he had ever encountered. Perhaps he should seek out a fortune teller to determine whether this simpleton was sent by heaven to bring him misfortune
Yin Xiaodao followed closely behind
To her surprise, his culinary skills were quite exceptional
When her husband is truly unfortunate
Lan Yan wishes that Lan Yu would never appear again. However, it is only a matter of time before he reappears
"Making me furious is your task." Lan Yan felt that he had already lost a few years of his life due to anger
He was not surprised by the answer. He closed the cabinet door and casually asked, "So, apart from fighting and killing, do you have any other skills?"
He was unable to recover from this matter until he returned to the office
Yin Xiaodao is truly impressed by Lan Yan
There is no need for you to worry. Regarding the matter of marriage, Yin Xiaodao has never entertained such thoughts. What she is concerned about is solely the future of Hengguan
He decided to start cooking here tonight
Protecting Your Excellency is my duty She observed her surroundings from the corner of her eye
In recent days, Lan Yan and Yin Xiaodao continue to stay at the hotel
The factory canteen serves chili as the main dish every day. Every time Lan Yan goes there, he has to complain to the head cook twice. Later, the kitchen staff specially prepared a light dish of stir-fried cabbage with meat. However, it still turned out to be too spicy for Lan Yan.
Traditional Chinese Medicine. The Hengguan emphasizes the inseparability of medicine and martial arts. While advocating traditional martial arts, it also values the medical principles of meridians and vital energy, particularly in the field of trauma. Since the time of the great-grandfather, Hengguan has been renowned as a Chinese medicine practitioner in Xijing.
Yin Xiaodao returned once again, but instead of kicking the door, he handed him a pack of tissues from below
Only Yin Xiaodao can help him
However, no matter how much fire the blue flame possesses, in this situation, he is unable to fully vent it all
Yin Xiaodao shook his head, "No."
Yin Xiaodao carried several bags in her hands, yet it did not seem to weigh her down. Her attention was focused behind her. She had a vague feeling that someone was following the two of them. She tried to trace that gaze, but was obstructed by the crowd
Blue Flame had no time to teach Yin Xiaodao a lesson and hurriedly entered the bathroom
Lan Yan recalled the scene of Yin Xiaodao pushing open the door, feeling a deep sense of despondency. He thought that even being beaten up by Lan Yu would not hurt as much. The pain from the beating was only superficial. The experience of being in a restroom without toilet paper, however, penetrated deep into his heart. He also wondered if his own brother had been seen for nothing.
Yin Xiaodao was aggressive during the intimate activities with the man, pinning him down. If the man did not comply, she would throw a punch.
The blue flame took a breath and received it
In the kitchen, the blue flame transforms the atmosphere. Whether it is the skillful knife work in chopping vegetables or the fluid movements in stir-frying, everything flows seamlessly, as if carving the moon and cutting through the clouds.
Among clothing, food, housing, and transportation, he is most dissatisfied with the aspect of food
Is it really not? He was very doubtful
She looked up at him. "Alright." He often yelled at her in a fierce manner, but she had grown accustomed to it. He was just harsh with his words, completely different from the sinister killing intent of Lan Yu.
