My girlfriend isn't as cute as me.

When Lin Jiu opened her eyes, only three seconds had passed in real time.

"Let's go, I've decided what to buy."

The cute patterned notebook was placed within easy reach on the memory bookshelf. Lin Jiu looked at the shopping list that seemed to appear before his eyes, and he could already imagine what kind of expression Wang Yuting would make next.

That's something to look forward to.

"Keep moving forward, just keep going~"

"Don't get so close!"

"No, unless you let me take the basket."

"Then you should come over."

"Okay~"

Just as Lin Jiu and Wang Yuting were shopping at the supermarket, sticking close together...

A graceful young woman walked out of the snack section. She rubbed her eyes, wondering if she had mistaken someone for someone else.

"Lin Jiu?"

She murmured to herself, her tone full of doubt.

"Yaoyao, I remember you like tomato flavor. Do you want Lay's or potato chips?" The chubby girl Huang Minmin walked up from behind carrying a basket of snacks. Seeing her friend's dumbfounded look, she walked around to her and waved.

"what happened?"

"You're blocking my way!"

Ning Yueyao quickly pulled her friend aside, and when she looked over again, the two had already disappeared.

"What are you doing? Why are you hitting me so hard!" Huang Minmin said, somewhat annoyed. "Did you see a handsome guy? Where is he? Where is he?"

"No...it's nothing, I mistook you for someone else."

Ning Yueyao gently shook her head, but she still honestly remembered this matter.

It's not too late to ask Lin Jiu when you go to school on Monday.

He still owes me fifty yuan!

Chapter Nineteen: Sage Mode

The girl next door is growing up.

—His strength could uproot mountains, and his spirit could cover the world.

This is Lin Jiu's latest impression of Wang Yuting.

The two spent almost an hour browsing in the supermarket, and Lin Jiu gradually got used to the feeling of shopping in women's clothing. However, he still found it hard to accept the stares of many people from time to time, and sometimes he would secretly hide behind Wang Yuting.

The items on the shopping list were heavier than expected, and Wang Yuting was also stronger than Lin Jiu had imagined.

Wang Yuting easily took the bags containing laundry detergent and other items, carrying one bag in each hand, which deeply shocked Lin Jiu, who could barely walk while carrying two bags in each hand.

"I've practiced before."

Wang Yuting explained the matter casually.

On their way home, Wang Yuting pointed at the barbecue stall with her eyes shining, like a child begging her parents to buy her a McDonald's Happy Meal. But Lin Jiu dismissed her idea with just one sentence.

"Wouldn't it be better if I cooked it for you?"

"It smells good! It smells so good!"

Back home, Lin Jiu kept his word. He first changed out of the expensive knitted dress into the dress he had worn all day, then put on an apron and sorted the ingredients he had bought.

Preserve what needs to be preserved, and freeze what needs to be frozen.

Incidentally, Lin Jiu is still in a vacuum state.

It's best to wash newly bought underwear before wearing it.

Lin Jiu was worried that she would get used to this feeling if she continued like this, but thankfully she would be able to wear panties tomorrow.

Panties, a product of human civilization.

What should I cook for a late-night snack?

Lin Jiu swayed her hips slightly, her skirt fluttering gently. The pink apron paired with her white dress exuded a girlish charm that was incredibly alluring. Unfortunately, she was completely oblivious to this, preoccupied with figuring out what ingredients to pair with her for a nutritious and healthy meal.

"Splash~"

The sound of water came from the direction of the bathroom. The healthy meal in Lin Jiu's mind gradually turned into an older sister taking a shower. The more he thought about it, the stranger it became. Even his little brother got a slight erection as a sign of respect.

No, I can't keep thinking about this.

Lin Jiu turned on the tap, scooped up some water, and splashed it on her face to clear her mind.

Grandma once said, "Any relationship that isn't aimed at marriage is just playing around."

Clearly, Lin Jiu is not ready to get married yet, especially since he is four years away from the legal marriage age!

Wang Yuting also asked him to keep an eye on her, to be careful that she might lose control of herself, but she didn't consider things from Lin Jiu's perspective.

What kind of willpower does a hot-blooded young man need to resist temptation?

Lin Jiu clenched his fist.

There is only one way.

Sage Mode!

By committing acts that will bring one to their senses and cause them to feel remorse, one can cleanse themselves of evil thoughts!

Lin Jiu slowly picked up a kitchen knife.

The gleaming blade reflected his resolute gaze.

With a swift motion, Lin Jiu slashed downwards with his blade—

"Chop chop chop chop chop chop!"

The chili peppers on the cutting board were instantly chopped into small pieces, and Lin Jiu skillfully placed them on a plate. Friendly reminder: never touch your eyes or nose with your hands after touching chili peppers, or you'll experience the same stinging sensation as Tiger Balm.

Lin Jiu made her decision.

For tonight's midnight snack, let's make garlic butter roasted potatoes!

Late-night snacks are a heavy burden on the body that is difficult to digest, and potatoes are an even more filling food. I would definitely regret eating them afterward and enter a state of sage mode!

Lin Jiu took out two Ubisoft servers, cleaned off the dirt, placed them on a baking tray, and put them in the oven, setting it to 200 degrees Celsius for 30 minutes. To preserve the flavor of the potatoes, he left the skins on this time. Supermarket ingredients are generally of guaranteed quality, but it's usually best to peel them.

Lin Jiu naturally wouldn't be idle while waiting for the oven to finish.

He took two small cucumbers out of the food bag, and since he couldn't find anything suitable, he silently raised his fist.

"Ora ora ora ora!!"

Lin Jiu ruthlessly removed the seeds from the cucumber and then tore it into bite-sized pieces by hand.

Although my hands hurt, it was worth it; only in this way could the cucumbers be properly pickled.

"If only we had a Chinese kitchen knife."

Lin Jiu rubbed her reddened hands and muttered to herself.

This set of high-end kitchen utensils is good, but it doesn't include his usual kitchen knife.

Chinese kitchen knife, YYDS.

Lin Jiu then placed the cucumbers in a food storage container, along with chili peppers, minced garlic, minced ginger, a teaspoon of sugar, a teaspoon of salt, a teaspoon of white vinegar, half a teaspoon of soy sauce, and two teaspoons of sesame oil. She stirred well after each addition to ensure the seasonings were well combined.

The secret-recipe smashed cucumber is ready!

It's finished, but not completely finished yet!

It needs to be frozen in the refrigerator for a while, then it can be eaten soon.

While Lin Jiu was focused on cooking, the little glutton Wang Yuting had somehow gotten up and started leaning against the kitchen door.

Wang Yuting discovered something.

Lin Jiu was very happy while cooking.

Lin Jiu himself didn't realize that he had a smile on his face while making the midnight snack, and he would shake his head from time to time, gently raising and lowering his right foot in a rhythmic tapping motion.

The most delicious seasoning is the love of the chef.

The best food in the world is the dish you make with effort for someone.

Lin Jiu took the roasted potatoes out of the oven, mashed them, then added chopped chili and garlic, a pat of butter, and a sprig of rosemary, before putting them back in the oven at 200 degrees Celsius for five minutes.

"smell good."

Just as Lin Jiu pressed the oven switch, Wang Yuting suddenly pressed her chin on Lin Jiu's head.

A peculiar fragrance emanated from Wang Yuting, a scent that Lin Jiu particularly liked... a milky, creamy fragrance.

"...It really smells good."

Lin Jiu expressed his agreement.

However, he thought the older sister's food smelled better.

Wang Yuting had changed her outfit; she was now wearing a white T-shirt and beige loose-fitting trousers. Her curvaceous figure, combined with the T-shirt clinging to her body, outlined a slender curve that was beyond Lin Jiu's comprehension.

Why is her waist so thin?

Her breasts were so well-developed, and her buttocks were even more full and round, making it hard to know where to look.

Her light flaxen hair was styled in a bun at the back of her head, and her snow-white neck was exposed to the air, which was refreshing.

Unfortunately, Lin Jiu couldn't see it.

Even if you stand on tiptoe, he still can't see you.

Gan.

How can one word like "扦" possibly describe it all?

The clothes, which were clearly quite boyish, looked perfectly suited Wang Yuting.

Lin Jiu realized once again that good-looking people look good in anything and can pull off any kind of clothing.
