Chapter 357 - Grounds Not Reasons
"Can you stop buttoning me such a big hat? I don't think I ever said I didn't want to cook for you. " After a long period of silence, I swallow a mouthful of my saliva and say these words to the little girl. Why do I feel that when I'm with the little girl, I'm always in a passive state?
Could it be … Did I owe the little girl something in my previous life? But — when I think about it, I feel, well... I better accept my fate. In my previous life, I really do owe her. If it wasn't for that little girl, I'm afraid that … The one who died was me.
"We don't need to eat, but that doesn't mean we can't. Seriously …" After hearing this, the little girl turned and walked away, talking to me as she walked. By the time she finished, she was already far away, so — I couldn't hear what she was saying.
"You can just tell me, but you have to take such a big detour." After the little girl left, I couldn't help but mutter to myself as I continued to do the work inside. Just now, I asked him if he could eat, and if he could just tell me whether I could eat or not, but why did he have to say so much to make me angry in the end? After I left, I suffered a bellyful of anger, and the result is — I also feel confused here, is it really good to kill the enemy and self-destruct?
When I was done, I looked down... Looking at the food in the pot, he was stunned for a long time. Then … He silently picked up the pot, walked to the trash can at the side, and poured all the food into the pot. He was busy talking to the little girl just now, but … The dishes had all been fried.
If I didn't know what I fried, just by looking at it, I would definitely not be able to guess what the raw material was … Fortunately, I didn't let the little girl see this scene, otherwise, even if I did cook, I'm afraid … Even if you beat the little girl to death, she wouldn't dare to eat it.
"It looked like you were almost done when I first got there, but you still had to wait for so long. You were really slow." After seeing me carry the dishes out, the little girl sat at the table and spoke to me with a mischievous tone. I stopped carrying the dishes and stood rooted to the spot, looking at the little girl.
After a long while, I finally reacted. I silently walked to the table and placed the food down, because … I've already cooked up the food once, so... Currently, I feel extremely guilty. I naturally chose to ignore the words of a little girl. If he wants to say anything, he should just go ahead and say it. I'll just pretend that I didn't hear anything. Anyway … The little girl was also straightforward. I won't lose a piece of meat or anything important, so I'll just let her be.
"Do you want to try it?" After passing the chopsticks to the little girl, I looked at her and indicated for her to try it first.
Although... I'm pretty confident in my craftsmanship right now, but... It's hard for people to say, so it's hard to avoid the fact that what I've made doesn't suit the taste of a little girl.
"How is it?" Seeing that the little girl was finally showing mercy and only managed to eat a single mouthful of the food I cooked, I immediately asked anxiously.
"Not bad." After hearing my words, the little girl glanced at me and said, "Only …" However, his men didn't even stop moving.
Looking at the little girl's expression, I finally felt relieved. Seeing how happily she was eating, I didn't say anything more.
Looking at the two empty seats beside me, I sighed. However … In front of the little girl, I couldn't show off my worry too clearly, so I quietly fed myself with food. Whether it was food or steel, I had to take good care of my body before Chu Yu and Chen Ye came back.
Otherwise... When Chu Yu and Chen Ye returned, I messed up my own body. If I still had to trouble Chu Yu and Chen Ye to take care of me, then wouldn't that be a little too unkind? He didn't know whether Chen Ye had already recovered by the time he returned, or … Or was it like that?
The more he thought about it, the more frustrated he felt. In an instant … I can't eat anything.
"How long will it take them to come back? I see that you've been looking at the seats at the side. Are they coming back soon? " Just as I was taking my bowl and chopsticks into the air, I heard the voice of a little girl. Turning my head to take a look, I realised that the little girl was lying on the table supporting her head as she stared at me.
"I …" Originally, he wanted to tell the little girl that they would be back in a few days, but … Looking at the probing look in the little girl's eyes, I actually didn't know what to say.
Because I could see a hint of doubt in the little girl's eyes. She seemed to be starting to doubt everything I said.
"I don't know when they'll be back either. They'll probably be back soon." Because... I really didn't know how to reply to that. Thus, after pausing for a moment, I swapped my answer for a word of uncertainty.
"At the beginning, you said that they would be back in a few days, but now, even you don't know." After hearing my words, the little girl dug a few bites into her mouth before … I mumbled something to me.
"En..." "Cough, cough …" After hearing what the little girl said, I immediately coughed awkwardly a few times. I really don't know how to respond to that.
Just a moment ago, he was too focused on flipping over this topic, but in the end … However, she forgot that her words were a bit contradictory. Now, not only did she not turn the page, it even made the little girl more suspicious.
"What I mean is, I don't know what happened between them either, so … He didn't know how long it would take, but … When they're done with everything, they'll come back. All we have to do is wait. " After calming down for a bit, I quickly thought in my mind about how to solve this problem. Then … He said this to the little girl.
He didn't know what was going on, so … I don't know how long I'll need to return, but my answer should be perfect.
