What evil intentions could an evil god possibly have?

The white cat thought to itself, "Do you think I'm an idiot?"

It was a little angry, so it jumped directly from the sofa onto Shen Muchan's head and stomped on it with its front paws.

"Pine syrup!"

Shen Muchan's expression turned cold, and she slammed her hand on the table, angrily saying, "Do you want to die?!"

The white cat meowed dismissively.

"Can you beat me?"

Shen Muchan fell silent.

Everyone was stunned for a moment, looking at the girl and the cat that looked down at her from above, and almost burst out laughing.

……

……

Gu Yuqiu couldn't laugh out loud.

She sat down at the dining table, wearing a bathrobe, looked at the food on the table, remained silent for a long time, and then said, "Isn't your memory usually very good?"

Su Yan didn't look at her, listening to the pleasant sounds of boiling, and casually explained, "This way of eating is the simplest, the least wasteful, and I like it very much."

Gu Yuqiu was somewhat speechless and sighed, "You're still thinking about that meal from that day?"

Which meal?

Su Yan looked up, her gaze piercing through the rising steam, and said with a sigh, "So you think I'm such a stingy person? I've even forgotten which meal it was."

Gu Yuqiu did not answer the question, but said, "I thought you would give in to me in everything today."

"That's how it was supposed to be."

Su Yan's expression was very calm: "But you just reminded me of something. What I like about you isn't your face, but your nasty personality. So I think what you like about me is the same."

Gu Yuqiu was speechless, then looked at the dining table and asked, "Is this your reason for wanting to eat hot pot?"

Yes, after she had soaked in the bathtub to her heart's content, dried her hair, put on a bathrobe, and left the bathroom, the only late-night snack she encountered was hot pot.

The thing she dislikes eating the most.

But it just so happens that Su Yan likes him.

They had argued countless times in the past, many of which were over hot pot. One wanted to eat it while the other didn't, and they ended up fighting over it.

The result is often a stalemate, with everyone going their own way, out of sight, out of mind.

"Hot pot is out of the question."

Smelling the spiciness in the air, Gu Yuqiu said helplessly, "This isn't even a proper hot pot, how did you manage to make it?"

Su Yan said matter-of-factly, "It's not my fault."

Gu Yuqiu asked, "Is this my fault?"

She genuinely felt it was absurd when she said that, and her emotions were quite evident.

"Yes."

Su Yan looked at her and smiled, saying, "It's because you only have one pot. I can't create something out of thin air. How can I separate them for you so that each side tastes different?"

Gu Yuqiu thought to herself, "I never thought about eating hot pot, so of course I wouldn't prepare that kind of pot."

Just then, Su Yan's smile vanished, and her tone suddenly shifted.

"Besides, how will you know if you can eat it or not if you don't try it?"

"I already dislike the smell, so why would I eat it?"

"Stinky tofu doesn't smell good either, let alone durian."

"That's why I never eat it."

"...Was it really necessary to be so ruthless?"

Su Yan looked at Gu Yuqiu.

Gu Yuqiu's tone was calm, or rather indifferent: "I understand what you mean, but I'm telling you very clearly, it's impossible."

Seeing that she was angry, Su Yan guessed what she was thinking and was speechless. She said sincerely, "But I really just want you to have hot pot with me."

"is it?"

Gu Yuqiu said with a mocking expression.

Su Yan suppressed her smile and all other emotions, and said, "If I wanted you to stay, I would have said so directly, and then whether it was breaking your legs or locking you in the basement, that would have been my approach."

She shifted her gaze slightly to the boiling hot pot and continued, "I'm quite decisive, so please don't assign me tasks you're good at... okay?"

In the end, she forced herself to control her tone and managed to remain calm, unlike many times in the past when she turned and left on bad terms.

The two looked at each other and remained silent for a very long time.

"Feel sorry."

Gu Yuqiu thought for a moment, then felt that it might not be enough, and added, "I'm overthinking it."

Winter is more than halfway over, and spring will be here in the blink of an eye. We only have a little time left, so we should cherish it and try to be as happy as possible, right?

Su Yan's voice sounded very tired.

This is not only mentally exhausting, but also physically exhausting.

Many people have forgotten that she also fought desperately today, battling the Pope with all her might, and bleeding profusely.

Even Gu Yuqiu has almost forgotten about it.

Because she was so careful to conceal it, making herself look radiant and her eyes always bright, as if nothing had happened...

But that's not actually the case.

"correct."

Thinking about these things, Gu Yuqiu said apologetically, "We should try to be happier."

Hearing this, Su Yan laughed.

Gu Yuqiu's gaze fell on the hot pot, and she began to hesitate, wondering which one would be more suitable.

Before she arrived at the table, Su Yan was already preparing, having put a lot of vegetables that could withstand long cooking times, such as pig brains, into the pot in advance.

She looked at the pig brain oozing with red oil and thought to herself that she had indeed been a bit of an idiot just now, but she didn't want to admit it, so she looked away.

Su Yan, unaware of her deep thoughts, assumed she was uninterested and picked up her long chopsticks, placing a slice of tripe into the red soup, bobbing it up and down occasionally.

This is a very deliberate and nuanced approach, like being in a state of flux.

She placed the perfectly cooked tripe into Gu Yuqiu's bowl and said, "Eat."

Gu Yuqiu looked at the bright red oil and still had a headache. After hesitating for a long time, she finally picked up her chopsticks, put the piece of tripe to her lips, and ate it.

Su Yan asked, "How is it?"

What else can be done?

Gu Yuqiu had a strong prejudice against hot pot, always feeling that it was a waste of ingredients, and said, "Isn't hot pot just one kind of food?" (Note 3)

The more she thought about it, the more baffling it seemed, and she said with slight annoyance, "I really don't know why you like to eat this."

Upon hearing this, Su Yan couldn't help but smile, her face radiant with the beauty of spring.

Just like I don't know why I like your bad temper.

Chapter 145: Chapter 143 She Said

As the red soup gradually calmed down and the pig brains were finished, Su Yan, who had never been good at serving others, had already cleared the dishes on the table, leaving only a few clean lobster shells piled up in front of her.

Gu Yuqiu still didn't like it, but ate some anyway, mostly just watching.

After an unknown amount of time, a sigh was heard.

Su Yan looked at the snow outside the French windows with a contented expression and said with emotion, "It seems like it's been a long time since I've eaten so heartily."

Gu Yuqiu thought to herself, "I'm not happy about this."

During her late-night snack, she only ate the first piece of tripe, a few pieces of lettuce, and then some very ordinary mushrooms.

These are all leftover vegetables.

Yes, Su Yan has always only loved eating meat and has never been interested in vegetarian food; she simply can't appreciate bland dishes.

In the past, Gu Yuqiu would have definitely started to speak sarcastically at this point, and then they would have naturally started arguing to kill time.

However, she didn't say anything at this moment, just looked at Su Yan quietly, her eyes filled with emotion.

"what happened?"

Su Yan took out a tissue, casually wiped the red oil from the corner of her mouth, and looked at her, asking.

"No."

Gu Yuqiu thought for a while and said, "Although I still don't like to eat it, it seems like watching you eat it would be nice."

Su Yan sighed and said helplessly, "Why are you still saying things that no one can understand even now? Is it so interesting to keep going in circles?"

Gu Yuqiu looked at her and said, "Is there anything in that sentence that you don't understand?"

Su Yan said seriously, "How can you be happy just by watching others eat?"

"because……"

Gu Yuqiu smiled and said slowly, "You looked so cute when you ate hot pot. When you got spicy, you raised your hand to fan yourself and then quickly drank something. It was so unlike you."

Su Yan asked, "Is the last sentence the key point?"

Gu Yuqiu shook her head slightly, looked into her eyes and said, "The focus is on you, of course."

Su Yan fell silent, thinking to herself, "Don't you think this is too pretentious?"

A powerful figure like her, standing at the pinnacle of humanity, is only one step away from becoming a god. Both her physical and mental strength are already at their peak, and she shouldn't be bothered by the spiciness.

After all, spiciness is not a taste, but a sensation of pain.

But just like they can get drunk, these are things that can be controlled at will. It's just that her appearance just now did look a bit strange.
