Chapter 193 Not Very Old
Although it’s only two o’clock now, there are many dishes to cook in the evening. After packing up the things I bought, I can start preparing them.
Yu Jingmo was assigned the task of washing vegetables. She was thinking while washing the smooth tomatoes on her hands.
I didn’t expect that there is someone that Lin Qingchuan unilaterally dislikes?
I don’t know what Ji Lu did to make Lin Qingchuan hate him so much.
She tilted her head and glanced to the side.
Lin Qingchuan was cutting meat with no expression on his face.
Although he was usually like this, it was clear that his mood was lower now.
It seems that since I met Ji Lu, even though my mood has improved a little since then, it is still not as good as when I first went to the supermarket.
She withdrew her gaze and turned to the man on the other side who was processing shrimps and crabs.
She originally wanted to remind him to say something, but she was dazed by the scene in front of her.
The crab, which had been baring its claws and fangs, appeared unusually well-behaved in the man's hands.
It’s not that crabs will look at people to see who they are eating, but no matter how they struggle, men can handle it easily and with ease.
Yu Jingmo turned his head silently, staring at the red tomatoes in his hand, with indescribable feelings in his heart.
This is probably a combination of talent and ability!
As we all know, preparing food is actually the most time-consuming step in cooking.
Even with three people it took almost two hours to finish everything.
It will be time to start frying in a while, and the soup will have been stewed long time ago.
Yu Jingmo was sitting on the sofa in the living room. He had just chatted with Mo Jingqiu and Mo Zijin in the group when a message from another group popped up.
[Cheng Yan: @I have to collect rent today too @Lin Qingchuan, do you want to play games?]
Yu Jingmo's fingers moved quickly across the screen.
[What game?]
[Cheng Yan: Team games are fun!]
Oh, she knew which one it was.
I looked up at the time. I would have to start cooking in about half an hour, so I could only play one game at most, right?
Lin Qingchuan on the other side also saw the message and looked up, "Want to play?"
Lin Hui was originally watching the news on TV nearby, and he turned around when he heard the voice.
Yu Jingmo: "Forget it, we have to prepare the dishes soon."
Lin Hui roughly figured it out and said, "It's okay, the dishes are ready, there's nothing to do."
Yu Jingmo thought about it and didn't insist, "Okay then."
She replied Cheng Yan.
[But I haven't played this, I have to download it first]
[Cheng Yan: Aunt Yu, why don’t you use my other account? It’s hard to match with a new account.]
Yu Jingmo agreed. It didn't matter to her which number she used.
[Cheng Yan: Where is Brother Chuan?]
[Lin Qingchuan: I’ll play a game too]
Cheng Yan was a little disappointed. He urged Cheng Shu to log in and sent a message asking:
[Cheng Yan: It’s just one round. Brother Chuan, you’ve finished the exam, right? Relax!]
[Lin Qingchuan: I’m going to cook in a while]
[Cheng Yan:!!! I want to eat there too!]
Lin Qingchuan is cold and ruthless:
[Then think about it]
[Cheng Yan: What a cruel man!]
Yu Jingmo downloaded the game, logged in using the account given by Cheng Yan, and was quickly pulled into the room.
The news on TV ended. Lin Hui was sitting next to Yu Jingmo and could see her screen just by turning his head.
Somewhat understood, "So it's this game."
Yu Jingmo turned around in surprise, "You knew?"
Lin Hui nodded, "I played it a long time ago."
Yu Jingmo was even more surprised, "This game is so old?!"
She always thought it was released in recent years!
Lin Hui was silent for a moment, took a deep breath, and said, "Not very old."
Yu Jingmo frowned suspiciously. The only time Lin Hui had time to play must have been before he took over the company!
That was more than ten years ago, isn’t it considered old?
Fortunately, Lin Hui's phone suddenly rang at this time. Yu Jingmo said, "You answer the phone first."
Lin Hui didn't say anything else. He picked up the phone and listened for a while, then turned around and said, "I'm going to the study."
Yu Jingmo nodded, and when the man's back could no longer be seen, the game began.
She gave a few people a heads-up in advance, "This is my first time, you should be prepared."
"Don't worry Aunt Yu, I have great skills!"
A few minutes later, Cheng Yan, who had just finished speaking, lost his first head.
"..."
Fortunately, we won in the end, and Lin Qingchuan was undoubtedly the MVP of this game.
He checked the time and said, "I don't want to play anymore. You guys continue."
Yu Jingmo patted him on the shoulder, eyes full of gratitude: "Thank you, Brother Chuan!"
If it weren't for Lin Qingchuan just now, she would probably have only experienced it for a few minutes.
Lin Qingchuan pursed his lips, but still couldn't suppress the upward curve of his mouth corners.
The inexplicably depressed mood before was swept away.
He coughed lightly, "I'm going to the kitchen first."
As soon as he entered the kitchen, the second game started quickly.
The two teammates in this game were sticky and showed their affection without caring about other people's lives. Yu Jingmo died quickly.
Cheng Yan's irritable voice came out from the headset: "Don't you know that showing off your affection will make you die sooner?! Show off, show off, then don't come to the team battle, you idiot!!"
Cheng Shu's voice was not as calm as before, but at least he still had some sense, "Just fight as you like."
They were not playing in a ranked match, so they simply pretended those two people were not there and ignored them.
Next, it was the couple's turn to break down. Unlike before, they ignored the content of the channel and started to be sarcastic, but no one paid any attention.
Yu Jingmo suddenly thought of something, turned his head to look at the kitchen, and saw Lin Hui walking in.
She turned around and said, "By the way, can I ask you something?"
Cheng Yan responded positively: "What's the matter?"
"You know Ji Lu, right?"
Cheng Yan: "Ji Lu... Oh oh oh! I remember now, we know each other, we were classmates in junior high school!"
He paused, as if he just realized it, and asked again, "How does Aunt Yu know this person?"
She paid close attention to Cheng Yan's tone, and saw no change when he mentioned Ji Lu, only some surprise.
It sounds like the same emotion one would have towards an ordinary classmate.
She seemed to be thinking about something. "I saw him today. He saw Lin Qingchuan."
"Ji Lu was quite popular in school. Both teachers and classmates liked him very much." It was Cheng Shu who spoke this time.
Cheng Yan continued, "Yes! He is exactly the type of student that teachers like, and he is also quite helpful."
Yu Jingmo: "Then you should have a pretty good relationship with him?"
Cheng Yan hesitated, "It's just so-so, right? I feel like Ji Lu really wants to play with Brother Chuan, but Brother Chuan only plays well with the two of us!"
As he spoke the last part, his tone was filled with a smug sense of superiority.
Yu Jingmo: "...So apart from you two, Lin Qingchuan had the same attitude towards everyone else?"
"Yeah," Cheng Yan paused, "It was mainly because Brother Chuan didn't interact much with other people at that time."
Cheng Shu quickly added, "But be more indifferent to Ji Lu."
Sometimes other people could get a response when they went to Lin Qingchuan, but Ji Lu really got nothing good at all.
Also because of this, many people felt that Ji Lu was just trying to please the cold shoulder, and they all advised him to give up. Some people also had a bad impression of Lin Qingchuan because they couldn't stand it.
Gradually, fewer and fewer people would talk to Lin Qingchuan, and in the end, there were only the two of them and Ji Lu left.
