As the sun sets, Mary Tang finishes her daily work and returns to the Love Cottage.

"Oh, Yichen, are you at home?"

Li Yichen leaned lazily on the sofa, with a laptop on his lap, immersed in creation, and didn't hear Tang Mary call him.

"What to write? So focused? ”

Tang Meilin walked behind Li Yichen curiously, glanced at the screen, fortunately, it was not something that she couldn't see, so she patted him gently.

"Huh? Hello, you're back? ”

Li Yichen turned his head and saw Tang Meilin, her hands trembled, and the computer almost hit the ground.

He is timid, he really has no resistance to these elusive female guests, it is too scary, and he has not communicated with Tang Marylin in the past two days, so he is still a little embarrassed.

"Well, just came back, are you writing in a journal?"

"No, no, just write and pass the time."

Tang Mary knew that Li Yichen didn't tell the truth, but she didn't plan to ask, so she walked to the kitchen: "Since we came back early, let's make dinner today, right?" ”

Li Yichen's eyes lit up, and he immediately closed the computer: "What are you going to cook?" ”

Tang Mary saw that Li Yichen was still concerned about herself, so she smiled lightly: "I'll go upstairs first to change into comfortable clothes and come down immediately." ”

"Okay."

Li Yichen watched Tang Mary go upstairs, expecting that he would tie his apron first, and intimately prepare one for her.

Tang Marylin ran upstairs and immediately called her colleague to make up the class urgently, and after about ten minutes, she hurriedly ran into the kitchen.

"I'm sorry, the company suddenly called, and it made you wait for a long time."

"It's alright, so let's get started? Do what? ”

Li Yichen handed the prepared apron to Tang Mary.

"Steam the rice first, and then stir-fry a few vegetables."

Tang Mary skillfully tied her apron, and suddenly remembered her colleague's surprise make-up class just now, and was a little annoyed that she missed an opportunity.

"Well, do you know how to steam rice? Can you help me? Tang Mary said with some unnatural please.

"Yes, I'll leave it to me."

Li Yichen highly appreciated Tang Meilin's idea of stir-frying a few dishes, how could such a trivial matter as steamed rice waste the chef's time.

Tang Mary smiled.

"Can you wash this onion for me?"

"Can you chop the meat for me? It's going to be the kind that's broken. ”

"Can you fry it for me?"

Tang Meilin carefully observed the busy Li Yichen, and was slightly moved.

She seriously recalled what other suggestions her colleagues had given her, well, adoring eyes, coquettishness, and inadvertent physical touch.

Coquettish, she felt that it was difficult for her to do it for a while.

Tang Mary looked at Li Yichen with adoring eyes: "Wow, you did so well." ”

"No, no, it's all your good command, how do you put the seasoning?"

"The seasoning feels good."

Li Yichen looked at Tang Marylin's confident eyes, knowing that this was a person who often cooked, and looked forward to dinner more and more, and took the initiative to ask, "Is there anything else I can help with?"

Tang Mary picked up the chopsticks and poked the crab's eyes hard, and the crab kicked her legs in pain.

It took her a long time to get a crab, and suddenly it occurred to her that this wasn't what she was supposed to do right now.

Oops, forgot!

Tang Meilin hurriedly threw down her chopsticks and remedied: "It's the first time I've killed crabs, and I'm not very good at ...... Will you? ”

"I'm supposed to be a little bit ......"

The crab died so miserably that both eyes were poked out.

Li Yichen was a little scared of the murderous Tang Mary, and said obediently: "Why don't I try it?" ”

"I'll leave it to you...... It's really reliable to have you there. ”

Tang Mary gave up her position to Li Yichen, carefully observing Li Yichen's expression, feeling that she had left a bad impression on him, and couldn't help but blame herself for messing up again.

"Is this for steaming or soup?" Li Yichen asked.

"Cook cabbage soup."

"Okay."

Li Yichen recalled his father's method of handling the crab, poked the chopsticks into the crab's mouth, and turned it out slightly so that the crab did not move, and then pulled the crab shell from the tail, removed the unclean things, and picked up the knife to chop it into eight pieces.

Li Yichen didn't know why it was eight pieces, but he suddenly remembered the idiom of eight pieces of crabs, so he followed suit.

"Is that okay?"

Li Yichen asked Tang Meilin.

"Yes can ......"

Tang Mary was thinking about how she could have inadvertent physical touch, and found that now was a good opportunity, so she raised her hand and gently patted Li Yichen's arm.

"You're skilled, you've done it before?"

"Watch my dad handle crabs."

"Daddy?" Tang Mary was a little puzzled by this uncommon title.

"It's my dad."

At this time, Zhao Wenfeng came back with a backpack, and when he saw Tang Marylin's intimate gesture to Li Yichen, he suddenly felt a little envious.

"How did he manage to star in multiple people's scripts at the same time?"

Zhao Wenfeng looked at Li Yichen carefully for the first time, and he also had two eyes, two arms and two legs, and he didn't see anything different.

Li Yichen thought that Zhao Wenfeng was restrained again, so he beckoned: "Wenfeng is back, we are cooking dinner, it's almost ready, do you want to go up and change your clothes or come to help us?" ”

"I'll go upstairs and change my clothes first, haven't the others come back yet?"

"It should be soon."

Tang Meilin was not the number one female in Zhao Wenfeng's heart, so Zhao Wenfeng just nodded at her slightly, and after saying hello, he turned around and walked upstairs.

Tang Mary didn't seem to care, she didn't care about genius straight men, she lifted the lid of the pot and stirred the crab and cabbage soup, scooped a little bit and tasted a small bite, frowned, and looked at Li Yichen.

"We seem to have forgotten to put ginger, it smells a little fishy, why don't you try it too?"

Tang Mary scooped a little more and handed it to Li Yichen's mouth, Li Yichen frowned after tasting it curiously.

"Or ......"

"Spice packets?"

The two looked at each other and smiled, and hit it off.

Li Yichen was afraid that Tang Meilin's conscience would be uneasy, so he comforted: "The taste is there, but if you put half a pack of seasoning packets, the taste will be a little more perfect." ”

Tang Marylin nodded in agreement, but she was afraid that others would find it unhealthy to eat, so she emphasized: "That's right, if you want the taste to be more perfect, but don't tell others." ”

"Well, it just so happened that there were a lot of seasoning packets left over from last night, and there won't even be any proof."

Li Yichen took out a seasoning bag from the cabinet, shook it skillfully, and poured it into the pot.

The two of them also glanced at the door with a weak heart, but there was no movement.

Tang Marylin took the seasoning bag in Li Yichen's hand and stuffed it into the bottom of the trash can.

"That's it."

Tang Marylin washed her hands, breathed a sigh of relief, looked at Li Yichen, and suddenly laughed.

"But why should we do this?"

"Make everyone think we're eating healthy?"

"Makes sense...... You're smart. ”

"Falsely praised."

……

Dinner time.

Wei Zhipeng drank a few sips of soup in a row and sighed: "It's so delicious, how can the seafood taste be so strong, did you put anything?" ”

Tang Mary was a little panicked: "Just ...... Maybe today's crabs are fresher, right? ”

Li Yichen nodded: "That's right, it's killed now." ”

Wu Shiming stared at Tang Meilin and Li Yichen suspiciously, feeling a little surprised: "I'll come back early tomorrow, and I'll make dinner with Yichen, right?" ”

"I could have come back sooner to help." Zhao Wenfeng plucked up his courage and said.
