CH 8

Li Yi put the things in his hands on the table and went over to help.

He looked at Jiang Heng wearing an apron, and asked Cheng Yichi, “Do you want to wear an apron too?” 

Cheng Yichi was washing things himself, and it was inconvenient, so he said, “Okay.”

Li Yi: “I’ll help you.”

Afraid that they would not have enough, the program team prepared four aprons in the kitchen, two blue, one khaki, and one bright pink. Jiang Heng was wearing blue.

He turned around and asked Cheng Yichi, “Is the khaki color good?”

“Okay.”

Li Yi took off his apron and put it over Cheng Yichi’s head. He pretended not to pay attention, his fingers slipped down from Cheng Yichi’s back inadvertently, and would stop at his waist again. 

The man’s hand slowly stretched out to the front, grabbed the straps on both sides of the apron, and pulled it back to the back and tied a bow. 

Cheng Yichi felt a little itchy, but he could bear it, so he didn’t say much. He didn’t think Li Yi’s actions were strange. After all, he was too busy, so it was normal to help him put on an apron.

But Jiang Heng glanced at Li Yi from the side, with inquiry in his eyes.

Li Yi ignored him. After he tied it up, he said yes, Cheng Yichi took a step forward. It was too itchy. 

He didn’t know that Li Yi didn’t stand firm. Li Yi carefully buried in Cheng Yichi’s neck, the warm and ambiguous breath hit Cheng Yichi’s neck, and neither of them reacted for a while.

Cheng Yichi turned his head away, he thought it was strange.

Jiang Heng saw Li Yi hugging his brother Yichi inexplicably, and his smile froze for a moment. 

Li Yi stood up quickly and said to Cheng Yichi, “I’m sorry.” 

His expression was very sincere and Cheng Yichi felt that it was not his fault, but that the ground was too slippery.

“Ah, it’s fine.” Cheng Yichi smiled, “Be careful next time.”

Li Yi nodded and put on a pink apron for himself. There was also a blue apron wobbly on the shelf.

Jiang Heng looked at the blue apron on his body and felt inexplicably annoyed.

“It’s time for us to cook.” Li Yi walked to Cheng Yichi’s side, “If you’re hungry, there’s fruit outside.”

Jiang Heng: …

How should he answer that if he’s not hungry, he just wants to work? This guy just doesn’t want to be with Brother Yichi?

“Yeah. Go and take a break, thank you for helping to prepare the steak! Eat more at night.” 

Cheng Yichi also said, mainly because Jiang Heng will also cook tomorrow, he is too embarrassed to ask Jiang Heng to help.

Jiang Heng couldn’t stay any longer, but his face completely sank before he left. He was originally a silly and enthusiastic dog, but when he is not smiling, his delicate half-breed face is extraordinarily serious and can be very cold.

Li Yi ignored him completely.

He counted the vegetables and meat the two brought back, and asked Cheng Yichi with a side face, “Brother, can I make steak, tomato beef tenderloin, shredded melon, egg bean curd soup, and shredded corn today?”

In addition to the roaring sound of the range hood in the kitchen, Cheng Yichi felt that Li Yi’s voice was very pleasant, as if he had massaged his ears.

He said, “Okay, I don’t have any taboos, and they didn’t say anything about them yesterday, but if you don’t eat garlic, if you want to fry steak, you can fry some bamboo shoots.”

Li Yi knew that Bai Ruyu didn’t say his taboos yesterday. It must have been observed by Cheng Yichi himself at the dinner table. He was a little jealous, but said nothing.

Cheng Yichi suddenly came to his senses: “Wait, Li Yi, do you call me brother?”

Li Yi looked at him: “Can’t you? I think Jiang Heng shouted like that, and I want to call you like that too.” 

Wronged, Ku Ge was wronged, Cheng Yichi had never seen it before, and his heart softened instantly.

“Of course you can, but I thought you wouldn’t call me that, a little surprised.”

In fact, Li Yi’s personality is very different from when Cheng Yichi first met him. He thought Li Yi was the kind of cold-faced child who was sluggish and cool. A boy who didn’t usually laugh or communicate with others.

In just two days, Cheng Yichi unexpectedly saw another side of him and thought he was cute, like a younger brother.

Li Yi hummed obediently: “Thank you, brother.”

The atmosphere in the kitchen suddenly became a lot more harmonious.

–    

Finally having dinner, Cheng Yichi proudly announced, “I made a dish in it!”     

At this time, he was still wearing a khaki apron, soft hair, and homely clothes. It wasn’t as dazzling as the one on the screen, but he still looked good Can’t take your eyes off.     

Although Gu Zechen told himself repeatedly: It is very troublesome to fall in love with Cheng Yichi. 

But at this moment, he had to admit that he liked Cheng Yichi’s outfit very much. 

He desperately wanted such a lover. He knows his preferences very well, so he tended to prefer the gentle Bai Ruyu before. But some heartbeats cannot be faked.     

Bai Ruyu’s eyes dimmed.     

Tang Yinuo was full of praise after eating several dishes, and praised him very face-to-face, and then said, “Is the best dish of shredded corn kernels made from Brother Chi?” 

In fact, he thought that shredded corn Granules are the easiest.     

“No.”  

Wei Buyan participated in the discussion with great interest: “Egg tofu soup?”    

“No.”     

“Is that a fried steak?”     

“Uh… no.” 

The rabbit Fang Yunshi also joined in: “Tomato Beef fillet.”    

The dishes on the table were almost finished. Cheng Yichi covered his face and felt embarrassed: “It’s cucumber salad….”

The fiery people who had guessed just now looked at each other and wanted to laugh, but they were afraid that Cheng Yichi would get angry and was embarrassed to laugh.

Even Bai Ruyu, who was depressed just now, pursed his lips and laughed.

They really didn’t expect this to be a dish.

Cheng Yichi put his hand down, he might find it funny himself, and the corners of his mouth would rise when he thought about it: “Laugh if you want to, don’t hold back.”

Several other people laughed too, but they just felt that Cheng Yichi was cute.

——

After dinner, everyone cleaned up the table together and moved to the living room to sit around them. 

The living room has a fluffy rug for them to sit together while chatting. Cheng Yichi also felt that it was more comfortable to sit in this way.

He lazily hugged a pillow with a pattern of his own villain, waiting to guess someone else’s occupation and age, and was suddenly cued.

“Chef come first.” Wei Buyan looked at the leisurely Cheng Yichi with a half-smile.

Cheng Yichi pouted: “Shouldn’t that be Li Yi?”

“Okay.” Just as he said casually, Li Yi really came first. Cheng Yichi felt that he liked this younger brother very much, and he really thought that Li Yi was very good.

Li Yi took out a photo of a corner of the cafe with green plants and a piano.

Cheng Yichi suddenly didn’t know how to guess.

The others also paused, and Tang Yinuo asked first, “Coffee shop owner?”

Li Yi shook his head.

Jiang Heng: “Waiter?”

Li Yi still shook his head.

Cheng Yichi asked, “Piano player?”

Li Yi nodded and looked at Cheng Yichi approvingly. Cheng Yichi didn’t know whether Li Yi just played occasionally for fun or regarded it as his career. 

It’s not that this profession is not good, but that Li Yiming should be of school age and shouldn’t have entered the society so early to make money. 

He hopes that Li Yi is still in school, even if he works part-time in a cafe.

But Li Yi said flatly: “It’s not my main business, I have temporarily suspended school for some reason.”

Cheng Yichi found that there was no sadness in his eyes and the unbearable feeling of quitting school early to work in a cafe, but it was light. 

Cheng Yichi suddenly remembered that this show was about guessing straight men to get bonuses. Maybe Li Yi didn’t fall in love, he was just short of money and wanted to get bonuses.

Cheng Yichi bit his lip, thinking about whether to give Li Yi some water.

“Twenty years old?” Cheng Yichi didn’t want to keep the topic in Li Yi’s career, so he deliberately guessed his age first–

It was a hit!

Li Yi nodded.

“Really?!” Cheng Yichi said, “It’s so young, six years younger than me.”

His age is no longer a secret. It can be said that Li Yi paused and said, “Not too young.”

Cheng Yichi did not understand the implications, but Jiang Heng understood.

“Who’s next?”

Li Yi designated Jiang Heng.

“Is it a student?” Wei Buyan raised his eyebrows and said, “You are too student-like, and you probably participated in many sports at school.” Before

Jiang Heng took out the photo, and all of a sudden, the smile on his face disappeared. 

Cheng Yichi seemed to see the ears of the puppy that had been standing on his head suddenly drooping down.

He said pitifully: “Yes, I’m a student from X university. As of today I’m 21 years old.”

“So young.”

Cheng Yichi felt that they were really young. At such a young age, I always feel like I’m getting old.

“You’re a scholar.” Bai Ruyu said with a smile. X University is a TOP2 university. I didn’t expect that a high-quality boy like Jiang Heng would also come to participate in a love variety show.

Tang Yinuo was curious: “Shouldn’t a boy like you be very popular? Good grades, good looks, and good sports.”

Jiang Heng smiled bitterly: “I can’t find a suitable one.”

“The boys in the university are still excellent, and it may be even more difficult to find them when they enter the society.” Bai Ruyu said, “For example, it is very difficult to find a partner by relying on this show.”

Not necessarily. Jiang Heng thought secretly.

He appointed Wei Buyan again. Everyone seemed to have a good heart and put Cheng Yichi behind.

Wei Buyan: “Huh? Is it me?” 

He spoke in a panic, his eyes were full of spring, and the photos he took out were also extremely unserious: it was actually a collection of photos from many hotels.

Tang Yinuo exclaimed: “Wei Buyan, you can’t be that, right?”

“Which one?” Everyone didn’t react.

Tang Yinuo said cautiously: “It’s the one who sells wine…” His voice became weaker and weaker.

Wei Buyan laughed angrily, his fox eyes raised, and he asked, “Which wine companion have you ever seen dressed so well?”

“A wine connoisseur? Hotel management?” Gu Zechen guessed several times in a row.

“NONONO~” Wei Buyan shook his finger mysteriously, then said,

“These hotels are all mine.”

He said it casually, and then added: “This is just a part of the property under my name, and there are others. Yes .” 

The voice was not loud, but it was extremely shocking.

…

Cheng Yichi thought: How many movies do I have to make to buy one of these?

He looks at Wei Buyan now. No, that’s not Wei Buyan anymore, it’s a pile of money.

The author has something to say: 

Li Yi said, just a sideline. So he still has his main business.

The nasty puppy is just tricking to make his wife feel pitiful.
