Everything I bought on online shopping platforms was genuine.

Chapter 808 Time cannot be reversed, green beans don't need to be too ripe

What a great vow-fulfilling gesture! They're really worshipping him like a god! Why don't they just put his picture on display and burn incense three times a day?
Of course, he didn't react much. The main thing was that the class monitor, Director Wang, and Chuanmei all looked exhausted. After seeing him once, they hurriedly went back.

After all, they've been away for so many days, not eating or sleeping well, and their physical strength has been severely depleted. There was also a car accident today. They got up early this morning and went to bed late at night. It's fair to say that these past few days have been much more tiring than their trip at the beginning of the month. The two are not even in the same league.

The reason the woman from Sichuan came here was simply because she felt she should come to fulfill a vow, otherwise she would have trouble sleeping.

Although he seems fine now, when he was in the car accident this morning, he had already thought about the news after his death.

Given his popularity, he should be able to trend, or even make the front page headlines.

Famous internet celebrity Li Shiya died in a car accident on her way back from helping students in impoverished areas. She was only 21 years old.

The comment section of this video will most likely be filled with the same message: "Rest in peace!"

A good trending topic might last a week, while a bad one might only last three days before being replaced by gossip and scandals involving other internet celebrities or stars.

It's scary to think about, but luckily he was very fortunate and was wearing a seatbelt, so he only suffered minor bumps and scrapes and was completely unharmed. Of course, he had to come back to fulfill his vow.

Just because he looks fine doesn't mean he's not scared. After all, he's just a young man in his early twenties. How could he not panic in this situation?

It's just that my pants got wet today, and I got laughed at by Director Wang, so I just had to put on a brave face.

I came over to fulfill a vow, and the tension in my heart eased. I fell asleep shortly after returning home.

As for the class monitor and Director Wang, they were in a similar situation. They went back to their dormitories and lay down without even eating dinner, before it got dark.

He Xiaoyue didn't go back to the dormitory. She stayed in the studio a little longer. After all, there was still some work for her to do. If she went back now, the class monitor wouldn't be able to rest well, let alone chat.

Miss Yuan, however, was different. After having a meal at his house, she filled her large bowl to the brim before leaving, and only then did she go home satisfied.

As a result, the meat Lin Mo bought today was reduced by half, and the whole roast chicken was taken away. Was he devastated? Not really, he just found it a bit funny. He never expected that the Jia family's ancestral large bowl would end up affecting him.

Looking at it this way, is he Sha Zhu? Is Miss Yuan Qin Huairu? No, no, Miss Yuan can't distinguish between right and wrong, she can't be Qin Huairu, Liu Ruyan is more like her, but Emperor Ruyan doesn't ask him for meat to eat, Emperor Ruyan is a cannibal.

In short, the relationships are complicated, but although Miss Yuan took some of the vegetables, at least there are still some vegetables at home, so it won't delay cooking dinner.

After everyone left, Lin Mo sat on the sofa, drinking water and resting. He was also very tired, after all, he had been teaching all day.

Fortunately, he hasn't graduated yet, so attending classes is just a bit more tiring than the previous three years, but he can still bear it.

If he were to attend classes at this high intensity for two years after graduation, he would not only lack the physical strength but also the energy, or he would simply lose the will to study.

Of course, the reason why it is more tiring than the previous three years is simply that Professor Li now only has him as a student, providing one-on-one tutoring, so he can't even slack off.

His current treatment is comparable to that of students majoring in cloisonné restoration; he's the only one in the entire department.

Of course, the only student specializing in cloisonné restoration could be said to have saved the jobs of several teachers, so there is still a certain difference between the two.

Fortunately, he is still young and his physical strength is still up to par. In particular, his status as a student means that he has no aversion to going to school and studying.

At five o'clock in the evening, just as it got dark, Liu Ruyan strode into the living room with her long legs, carrying a plastic bag in her hand. As she took off her shoes, she said with a smile, "Little brother is back. Were you tired from school today? Wait for me, I learned a new specialty dish today. If you follow me, you'll be living the good life!"

As she spoke, she excitedly jogged into the kitchen.

Lin Mo was stunned by the scene. Was this still his girlfriend?
You should know that he usually does the cooking. Even on Wednesdays, when he has worked all day, he still has to cook for Liu Ruyan when he gets home. Liu Ruyan will even deliberately wait for him on an empty stomach.

Firstly, she herself didn't want to cook and didn't know how to cook; secondly, the food Lin Mo cooked on Wednesday was exceptionally delicious.

He was the one who came home first today, but Liu Ruyan had just gotten home from get off work and was still making him cook?
Although somewhat surprised, Lin Mo paused for a few seconds before jumping up from the sofa, remembering the older woman's masterpiece from last night.

"Sister Ruyan, Sister Ruyan, think it over! Quick, put down the knife! Can we stop cooking? These hands of yours are not for cooking!"

In the kitchen, Lin Mo pulled Liu Ruyan's arm and advised, "Who knows if any innovative dishes will come out today?"

Yesterday he used a little trick to get himself out of danger and the room was bright again, but today Miss Yuan and the others are on guard and won't fall for it easily again. Wouldn't he have to bear all the bitter consequences himself then?

No, absolutely not!
Upon hearing this, Liu Ruyan became unusually resolute, her eyes narrowing: "You don't believe me, your older sister?"

"No, that's impossible, that's exactly what I'm doing."

For a moment, Lin Mo couldn't find any rebuttal. Wasn't it obvious enough whether you believed it or not? Didn't you know your own level?
"If you can't, then get lost. I'm in a good mood today, so I'll let you try my cooking. Don't worry, it's not an innovative dish today, I promise I won't mess it up."

"Alright, alright, I rarely cook for you, and you still won't agree to have sex with me? What's that saying again? A shameless person is just pretentious." Liu Ruyan glared at him, her pretty face full of arrogance, perfectly mimicking Consort Hua's tone.

As he spoke, he pushed Lin Mo out.

By the time Lin Mo realized what was happening, he was already outside the kitchen.

"Get lost, don't keep me from cooking."

Listening to Liu Ruyan's voice coming from the kitchen, Lin Mo shook his head helplessly, hoping that today would go smoothly.

As long as Liu Ruyan doesn't come up with any innovative dishes, he can eat them even if they taste a little off. It's no big deal!

Seeing Lin Mo return to the sofa, Liu Ruyan quickly took out a portion of pre-cut ribs from the plastic bag she had brought back, and then nodded in satisfaction.

She certainly knows she's a bad cook, not to mention her knife skills, but buying pre-cut ingredients shouldn't be considered cheating, right?

Lin Mo was quite uneasy. Although he was sitting on the sofa, his eyes were constantly fixed on the kitchen, afraid that some strange smell might appear soon. When he came back today, he had specially bought some air freshener as a backup. After all, although the asparagus fern potted plant could purify and freshen the air, it was powerless against the heated durian.

Soon, the sound of a stove being started could be heard from the kitchen.

After an hour of fussing and turning, Liu Ruyan finally came out carrying a plate of food.

Just like yesterday, the plates were covered. After placing them on the table, Liu Ruyan smiled and said, "Come on, Amo! Sit down!"

Lin Mo:
This director's aura is so authentic! Do successful people all like this vibe?
But Lin Mo still obediently moved closer and gently sniffed it. Hmm, there was no strange smell, which immediately put his mind at ease.

Seeing this, Liu Ruyan was about to speak when Lin Mo interrupted, "Guess! I know, I smell the ribs, right?"

In response, Liu Ruyan gave a thumbs up: "Amazing, little brother! Your nose is really useful!"

Upon hearing this, Lin Mo couldn't help but sigh. His nose wasn't always this sharp; it was only recently, after cooking more often, that he became more familiar with the smell of ribs and was able to recognize it.

"Is there anything else?" Lin Mo asked.

Liu Ruyan: "The rice is in the pot!"

Lin Mo: "I said, 'It's a dish!'"

Liu Ruyan: "That's all!"

Lin Mo:
After struggling for more than an hour, she only managed to whip up one dish. I have to say, her efficiency is unparalleled. Forget about restaurants, even at home, waiting for her to cook would make you starve.

He then got up and went to the kitchen to get some rice.

Once the lid was opened, Lin Mo suddenly realized that it was pork ribs stewed with green beans!
However, the presentation is... well, it's just average, but it's alright. At least it's not braised pork ribs, which are prone to burning. Stewed pork ribs at least don't have the risk of burning.

Lin Mo frowned after tasting the soup; it was a bit too salty. But compared to yesterday's dumplings, today's soup was perfectly normal.

"Here, little brother, have a piece of rib!" Liu Ruyan smiled and put a piece of rib on his plate.

Lin Mo nodded, took a bite, chewed the rib once, then twice, then three times, then four times, then forty-two times, then forty-three times.
"What's wrong, little brother? Say something!" Liu Ruyan asked anxiously.

Lin Mo lowered his head, opened his mouth, and spat out the rib in his mouth: "Uh, the taste is okay, but it's obvious that it's not cooked through; it's a bit tough to chew!"

"Impossible, I've been stewing it for so long, how could this be?" Before Liu Ruyan could finish speaking, a piece of pork rib appeared in the bowl in front of her.

The disbelieving Emperor Ruyan took a bite and chewed it more than thirty times until his cheeks ached, at which point he reluctantly spat it out.

"Well, I think it's not necessary to eat these ribs. Besides, the essence of rib and green bean stew is not in the ribs, but in the green beans. Come on, little brother, have a taste!" Liu Ruyan said and put a piece of green beans on his plate.

Lin Mo tasted it, and the taste was alright, but the stringy part of the green beans hadn't been removed. He had to manually pull the stringy part halfway through eating it, just like Xiao Guo in "My Own Swordsman" sewing dumplings with needle and thread, having to manually pull the stringy part after finishing the dumplings.

Moreover, the stringy texture of the green beans greatly affects the taste, but he was content knowing that his girlfriend made them. However, he had to admit that the green beans were still very tender.

"Hmm, not bad, not bad," Lin Mo encouraged.

Upon seeing this, Liu Ruyan's eyes lit up. She then took a bite and frowned slightly. Clearly, she also realized that her cooking didn't taste very good.

So after only taking a couple of bites, they went to the refrigerator and found some pickled vegetables. Pickled vegetables with rice—that's quite something! Anyone who didn't know better would think their families had gone bankrupt.

For a moment, silence filled the dining table as the two simply ate their food in peace.

Lin Mo noticed that Liu Ruyan looked rather sullen. Although she mostly ate pickled vegetables, she would occasionally eat a few green beans or drink some soup.

After dinner, Lin Mo finished cleaning up and patted Liu Ruyan, who was lying on the sofa looking unhappy, and said with a smile, "Alright, Sister Ruyan, you've done your best. Besides, although the ribs weren't cooked, the green beans were still okay, really!"

Upon hearing this, Liu Ruyan's eyes lit up, and she looked up: "Really?"

Lin Mo nodded: "Of course!"

Hearing this, Liu Ruyan chuckled and then threw herself into his arms: "You little brat, you're so good at comforting people, mua~"

She then gave him a big kiss on the cheek.

For couples, feelings are built up little by little.

The two chatted and laughed, sprawled on the sofa and watched a movie, and soon it was time for bed.

With just a glance from Liu Ruyan, Lin Mo knew that homework would start again tonight. It has to be said that the two of them have developed a certain tacit understanding.

At 10 p.m., inside the car, Liu Ruyan called out as she drove, "Little brother, little brother, are you alright?"

At this moment, Lin Mo, slumped in the passenger seat, was completely dazed and couldn't open his eyes. His stomach was churning, accompanied by nausea.

Holding a plastic bag in his hand, he heard this, immediately lowered his head, and then: "Ugh~~~"

With a loud clatter, a plastic bag was thrown out of the car window.

Inside the car, Lin Mo sat in the passenger seat, wiping his mouth with a tissue, and said weakly, "Hurry to the hospital, the green beans aren't ripe!"

As the saying goes, time cannot be turned back, and green beans don't need to be fully ripe. Anyway, he was betrayed by his own people today.
