Chapter 045

He had never thought about the possibility that Yan Jin might like him. But seeing that Yan Jin would take the initiative to care about him when he was unhappy, Yu Shu started to wonder.

Could it be possible that Xiao Xiao liked him?

Otherwise, how could Xiao Xiao be so good to him?

So, Yu Shu decided to test the waters with Yan Jin.

Early the next morning, when Yan Jin got up and wanted to invite Yu Shu out to eat dim sum, she found that there were already two steaming bowls of noodles on the table.

Yan Jin’s first reaction was to grab Yu Shu’s hand to check if he had been scalded.

Yu Shu felt a warmth in his heart at Yan Jin’s instinctive action, but he pouted, “I’m not a three-year-old child, how could I get scalded every time.”

Yan Jin’s mind went blank, “Did you make breakfast today?”

“Didn’t you say before that you wanted to eat noodles? I specially made noodles for you today.” Yu Shu even proudly raised his chin, “How about it? Are you happy? Are you touched?”

Yan Jin didn’t even dare to look Yu Shu in the eye.

What on earth had she done wrong?! To have to eat noodles personally made by Yuanyuan?!

[It’s here, it’s finally here. After days of painstaking study of culinary skills, will Yu Shu redeem himself this time, or will he fail again? The situation is uncertain, we are all dark horses, let’s place our bets.] [I really want to bet on Yu Shu winning, but I can’t go against my conscience with the look in Yan Jin’s eyes, so I’ll still bet on Yu Shu losing.] [Don’t look down on people, we Yu Shu fans have collectively burned incense to the Kitchen God. With the blessings of the Kitchen God, Yu Shu will surely be able to wash away his previous “disgrace”.]

“Why do you have that expression?” Since learning that his cooking skills were not as good as he had imagined, this time Yu Shu deliberately observed Yan Jin’s expression.

As expected, Yan Jin kept avoiding his eyes. No wonder he hadn’t noticed the oddity of that pot of fish slice porridge before, it turned out that Yan Jin had been quietly helping him behind his back.

Although he was touched by Yan Jin’s thoughtfulness, Yu Shu rarely saw Yan Jin in this state of not daring to speak. Feeling playful, he deliberately narrowed his eyes, “Could it be that you think what I made doesn’t taste good?”

“What you made is not bad.” Yan Jin chose her words carefully, “It’s just that it will open the door to a new world for people.”

If Yu Shu didn’t know the truth now, he would have definitely been fooled by Yan Jin’s words. But knowing that his cooking skills were not good before, seeing Yan Jin still helping him cover up the truth at this time, Yu Shu felt a warmth in his heart.

“You’re still coaxing me at this time.” Yu Shu pouted at Yan Jin, “If A De hadn’t told me that fish slice porridge with added white sugar and goji berries is inedible, I might have still thought until now that you really cared about me and didn’t want me to cook.”

“You found out?” Yan Jin looked up in surprise and met Yu Shu’s helpless eyes.

Yu Shu shook his head with a smile, “I’m not an idiot. Even if A De hadn’t told me, I would have known over time.”

“Since you know,” Yan Jin tried to bargain with Yu Shu, “then can I not eat this bowl of noodles today?”

Before, in order to maintain Yuanyuan’s self-esteem, she had been forced to eat that fish slice porridge.

Now that Yuanyuan knew the truth, she didn’t need to maintain his self-esteem anymore.

Follow your heart, be happy.

[The warm scene in the blink of an eye turned into a funny scene. I knew Yan Jin would never let me down.] [The scene I imagined after revealing the truth: the two understanding each other warmly and harmoniously. The actual scene: the plastic friendship breaks as soon as it’s exposed.]

Yu Shu emphasized, “I have been learning to cook these past few days, and I have tasted the dishes each time after I made them. They are not as bad as before.”

“Everyone’s taste is different.” Yan Jin said tactfully, “Perhaps that’s the case with us too.”

“What do you mean tastes are different? When have we ever had different tastes?” Yu Shu raised an eyebrow, “You don’t like mutton noodles, and I don’t like mutton miscellaneous soup. The things we don’t like are the same, so how can our tastes be different?”

Yan Jin sighed, “Yuanyuan, do you really want me to be that blunt?”

She just didn’t dare to try the dishes Yu Shu made.

Last time she drank that pot of fish slice porridge and didn’t get sick and hospitalized doesn’t mean she can escape unscathed this time.

The look of being at wit’s end on Yan Jin’s face was too obvious. Yu Shu knew he couldn’t force Yan Jin. His eyes turned and his tone fell along with it, “I understand, you just look down on me and don’t consider me a friend.”

“You misunderstood, I didn’t mean that.” Seeing that Yu Shu wanted to shift the blame onto her, Yan Jin quickly explained, “I just think your talent doesn’t lie in cooking, and there’s no need to waste time on it.”
