Regarding Yu Yoming inviting me to dinner, I had almost no expectations. After all, this Young Master has been living on White Rice Porridge lately, so I thought that if he really wanted to treat me to a meal, it might just be a swap from White Rice Porridge to vegetable porridge.
But to my surprise, when I got home, he actually threw a basin at me, containing a live, swimming wild Eel!
"Qin Linlin, I told you I would treat you to a meal. This was ordered by a friend and just caught from the sea, still lively and kicking. Tonight, I'll make an exception and accompany you to a good meal."
I really don't know whether to laugh or cry.
I'm glad that the young master finally agreed to eat something, there's hope for my future. But I'm sad that what he brought back is an eel. I really don't know how to deal with this snake-like fish.
"For the sake of a hundred thousand, I'll go all out."
My heart was pounding hard, as if it was about to jump out of my throat, but I still mustered the courage to close my eyes, grit my teeth, grip the knife tightly in my hand, and fiercely strike towards Eel.
However, in the instant I closed my eyes, the Eel actually wriggled out of the net hole!
It writhed on the kitchen floor, like a huge snake, crawling around everywhere.
I was trembling all over, my mind blank, and my heart nearly stopped beating.
In a panic, I instinctively shouted, "Yu Yoming!"
As soon as he rushed in, I immediately pounced on him, leaping with all my strength. My legs wrapped around his waist as I cried out desperately, "Young master, please save me! Get rid of the eel!"
He looked exasperated. "How can I do anything with you hanging onto me like this? Get down first."
"No, I won't let go even in death." I held on tighter.
The atmosphere seemed to freeze, and time appeared to come to a standstill. I remained locked in this standoff with Yu Yoming for a full half minute.
I secretly glanced at him from the corner of my eye and noticed that his ears had turned bright red due to congestion. My own heart couldn't help but start beating faster.
At this moment, the leg coiled around his waist had started to feel numb, but there was still an Eel on the ground! I had to tighten my leg again, only to hear him utter a low, hoarse voice: "Don't move."
This sound made my cheeks instantly flush, as if I could feel the heat of the blood rushing to my face.
I couldn't help but swallow hard and nervously say, "Then... then you should get me out first."
He seemed to realize that our current situation was a bit awkward. After a light cough, he threw me off his body, which was hanging on me, and then went to the sofa. I finally gasped for breath in a panic.
He then gave me a fierce glare and went back into the kitchen.
A few minutes later, he walked out with a red face and said, "Done, killed it. You can go in now."
I looked at him with a pitiful expression and said, "My legs are weak, I can't walk. Do you mind carrying me into the kitchen again?"
Just thinking about that eel sliding by my feet, its slimy touch clinging to my ankle like a parasite, makes me feel as if my legs have lost all ability to move.
Yu Yoming's expression was complicated, seemingly a bit hard to articulate. I felt like he might want to hit me.
So, I struggled to get up from the sofa, only to stumble as soon as I landed, and unfortunately fell into his arms.
"Qin Linlin, I almost thought you were deliberately trying to seduce me," he gritted his teeth and said.
"What are you talking about? I'm not blind!"
I said this out of anger and embarrassment, but I didn't expect Yu Yoming to take it seriously.
His face turned very ugly: "Am I really that unattractive to you?"
"Young master, I was wrong," I felt like crying, "Actually, you are my idol. I was just blinded by your radiance..."
Such unreliable nonsense actually made Yu Yoming very happy. He turned back to the kitchen, saying he would take care of dinner.
I leaned back on the sofa, watching the tall figure in the kitchen bustling about, and a warm feeling surged in my heart. Although this man could be a bit domineering at times, he looked quite adorable right now!
"Do you need help?" I hesitated to ask.
Yu Yoming replied without looking up, "No, just take a good rest."
Alright, since that's the case, I will respectfully comply. I found a comfortable spot to sit down and began to think about what to eat tonight.
After a while, Yu Yoming brought out a plate of delicious-looking dishes and placed it on the dining table. I looked at him in surprise; it turned out that not only could he cook, but he was also quite skilled at it!
I curiously asked, "When did you learn to cook?"
Yu Yoming smiled and said, "I often watched my mom cook when I was young, and gradually I learned. Later, when I lived alone, I often cooked by myself."
After hearing him say that, I suddenly felt a little moved.
I stood up and walked to the dining table, looking at the sumptuous dinner on the table, feeling particularly happy.
We sat down to enjoy this warm dinner. During the meal, I noticed that Yu Yoming was staring at me, his gaze revealing an indescribable emotion.
I asked in confusion, "What's wrong? Is there something on my face?"
Yu Yoming shook his head and said, "No, I just think today's meal is especially delicious."
"Hmm?" Could it be that he's praising his own cooking this much?
The next morning, as soon as I stepped out of my room, I saw Yu Yoming standing on the scale. After staring at it for a long time, he covered his head with his hands, looking utterly shocked.
I quickly hid behind the door and listened closely, hearing him mutter repeatedly, "It's over, it's over. I gained a kilogram just from one meal of Eel. I really shouldn't have listened to Qin Linlin."
I immediately automatically converted in my mind: 1 kilogram = 2 catties = 20,000.
Getting rich too quickly. I need to calm down and realize something is wrong.
Why is Yu Yoming afraid of gaining weight? Could it be that his true goal is to lose weight?
