My girlfriend isn't as cute as me.

Wang Yuting was stunned for a while before she finally reacted. She raised her hand and gently patted Lin Jiu's leg a few times.

"Then why did you deliberately scare me! I thought you were really going to hit me."

"Because you're cute like this."

"I didn't!"

Wang Yuting patted him twice more.

Like a kitten resisting, it waved its paw.

Lin Jiu laughed even harder at Wang Yuting's adorable actions.

In fact, Lin Jiu had indeed wanted to flick Wang Yuting's forehead. However, Wang Yuting's timid expression was just too adorable, and he couldn't resist following his inner desires.

—Indeed, I like her.

At first, Lin Jiu also wondered if he had mistaken his longing for love. After all, teenage boys tend to think about things from the perspective of the differences between men and women, especially since Wang Yuting was such a perfect older sister.

Lin Jiu is a normal man who goes camping every morning and sets up his tent.

These past few days, I've had to suppress the gun countless times because of Wang Yuting.

He asked himself the same question, seeking an answer.

If we're talking about liking someone, then yes, I definitely like them.

Who could resist a young, wealthy woman with fair skin, a slim waist, long legs, a privileged background, and a similar age?

However, even without considering these factors, Lin Jiu actually had a lot of affection for Wang Yuting.

She has a frank and straightforward personality, which can be both funny and exasperating. She always speaks her mind directly and never hides her feelings.

Her naiveté in daily life contrasts sharply with her seriousness at work, evoking a protective instinct in others to take care of her.

She always tries to appear mature, but deep down she's still a little girl, occasionally revealing her adorable side.

Every time she ate Lin Jiu's cooking, she would express how delicious it was and thank her sincerely afterward, never considering that she was the one paying the bill. She always respected Lin Jiu's opinions and listened attentively to what Lin Jiu had to say.

Wang Yuting possessed countless admirable qualities that Lin Jiu couldn't fully describe; these were all part of her charm. Although Lin Jiu wasn't sure if this could be considered a relationship, she believed that once they were together, all questions would be answered.

“Nine…”

Wang Yuting calls Lin Jiu by his pet name.

Lin Jiu snapped out of her daze and asked with a smile, "What's wrong?"

Wang Yuting put her index finger to her lips, revealing a shy and sweet smile.

"Can I kiss you one more time?"

"Jiujiu, just one more time, just one more time!"

"Jiu~ Let's go somewhere else, how about we do it again?"

"Come on, let's play another round! If I win, you'll kiss me; if I lose, you can kiss me."

"Waaah, please don't ignore me..."

Wang Yuting leaned against the door, looking at Lin Jiu with a pitiful expression and a tearful gaze.

How should I put it? Even the most hard-hearted person would feel a pang of sympathy upon seeing this.

"Kiss her! Kiss her!"

Lin Jiu felt as if many bullet comments were floating before his eyes.

Lin Jiu said somewhat helplessly, "Didn't we just kiss several times?"

They agreed to kiss one more time, but Wang Yuting just grabbed Lin Jiu and started kissing her haphazardly, without any romance whatsoever. If Lin Jiu hadn't struggled to climb out of her arms, the two of them would probably still be on the sofa right now.

"Hehe, because it's very comfortable."

Wang Yuting scratched her head sheepishly and honestly expressed her thoughts.

She had never experienced anything like this before, and it felt like a dam had been opened, and a torrent of water was gushing out.

As the one who opened the floodgates, Lin Jiu needs to take responsibility.

“Da me”.

Lin Jiu coldly rejected her, urging, "Go wash your hands and rinse your mouth, get ready for dinner."

"You're so stingy! A kiss won't break a piece of flesh!"

Wang Yuting turned around angrily and went to the washroom, making a pattering sound with her footsteps.

Lin Jiu shook his head helplessly. He pursed his lips, feeling that they were a little swollen.

When Yuting kissed him, she even bit him with her teeth... Although it felt pretty good, it hurt a little when she came to her senses.

As a man, Lin Jiu had to admit that he experienced corresponding physiological changes when kissing. If he didn't control the frequency of his kisses, he lacked confidence in his ability to control himself, and who knows, he might be holding a child by this time next year.

Because I cherish her, I cannot indulge her.

Lin Jiu doesn't yet have the mindset and ability to be a mother—no, a father—at the age of eighteen!

For the sake of Wang Yuting's future and the child's future, Lin Jiu had no choice but to compromise herself.

"At least I'll have to wait until I graduate high school..."

Lin Jiu skillfully put on an apron and began preparing dinner.

The leftovers from lunch could be reheated, but considering that it might not be enough for the two of them, Lin Jiu decided to cook an extra dish.

Cola chicken wings.

Adults and children alike love to eat it.

Last night, I bought a box of chicken wings from the supermarket. I opened the package, put them in a bowl of water to wash them clean, and then placed them on a cutting board. I used a kitchen knife to make three simple cuts on the skin side of the chicken wings to ensure they could absorb the flavor during stewing. Next, I chopped some scallions into sections, sliced ​​some ginger, and prepared two star anise. I put them all into a flat-bottomed charcoal pot, added water, and then put in the chicken wings.

Lin Jiu glanced at the door, and only after confirming that Wang Yuting wasn't there did she whisper, "Explosion!"

ignition.

boiled.

All in one go.

Perhaps because he had played a lot of games today, Lin Jiu's temperament had become more age-appropriate, and the corners of his mouth slightly turned up.

An eighteen-year-old boy is still in the middle of his rebellious phase, and he is no exception.

Luckily, Wang Yuting didn't see it, otherwise Lin Jiu would have felt embarrassed too.

"Hum hum."

Lin Jiu picked up another wok and placed it on the stove. He turned on the medium heat, heated the wok with cold oil, and added the same scallion segments, ginger slices, and star anise. Because chicken wings cook very easily, he directly added the previously cooked chicken wings to the wok at the same time, timing it perfectly.

When one side of the chicken wings had turned an enticing color, Lin Jiu poured in a spoonful of light soy sauce, half a spoonful of dark soy sauce, and a suitable amount of sugar. Since it was cola chicken wings, cola, as the main ingredient, was naturally indispensable.

Chicken Wings: Shall I leave?

Considering there were no advertising fees, Lin Jiu decided to cover up the brand label; in short, it had to be something other than Coca-Cola Zero. As for which one to choose, that was a matter of personal preference.

Pour the cola into the pot in two batches to prevent the bubbles from overflowing, then slowly stir the chicken wings to prevent them from burning. Reduce the sauce over medium heat, and when the sauce has reduced to the desired consistency, remove from the pot and plate.

In less than ten minutes, simple and delicious cola chicken wings are ready to cook.

Lin Jiu reheated the leftovers from lunch, took out bowls to serve the rice, and placed the plates on the dining table.

When Wang Yuting saw Lin Jiu come out of the kitchen, she quickly came over to help carry the plates.

"Thank you for your hard work!"

When it comes to cooking, Wang Yuting really can't help.

Each time, she could only watch Lin Jiu's back as he fiddled with things in the kitchen, and then feel guilty.

If Lin Jiu knew what she was thinking, he would definitely poke her head and give her a good reminder that this was his job. If all bosses in the world could be as considerate as Wang Yuting, then humanity could understand each other and break free from the Möbius strip.

"It's okay, I really enjoy the process of cooking. It's like turning ordinary ingredients into delicious dishes. It feels like magic, and I don't feel tired at all." Lin Jiu smiled. He truly enjoyed cooking, especially cooking for himself and the people he loved. The food he made with his own hands could become a source of strength for her, which gave him a feeling of silently supporting Wang Yuting.

"Magic..."

Wang Yuting nodded thoughtfully, struck a pose that Lin Jiu found very familiar, and then shouted, "Explosion!"

"???"

Lin Jiu frantically typed question marks.

"Jiu Jiu, why are you blushing?"

Looking at Lin Jiu's rapidly reddening face, Wang Yuting asked innocently.

"You, you..." Lin Jiu pointed at Wang Yuting, his fingers trembling, "You just saw it?"

Wang Yuting blinked feigning ignorance, and answered in a childlike, drawn-out voice, "I~didn't~see~anything~!"

"Ahhhhh!!"

Lin Jiu covered her face with her hands, making extremely shameful sounds.

During the rest of the meal, Lin Jiu didn't say a word to Wang Yuting.

Wang Yuting felt wronged, but she also understood that Lin Jiu didn't like to talk while eating, so she buried her head in her food.

"It's so delicious..."

Wang Yuting finished her tomato, tofu, and egg soup, leaned back in her chair, and let out a long sigh.

Lin Jiu happened to be wiping his mouth with a tissue, but because his lips hurt, he didn't dare to wipe too hard.

It's all Wang Yuting's fault, she kept hugging and kissing him.

"If you like it, I'll make you soup again next time," Lin Jiu whispered.

"Okay~"

Wang Yuting was happy not only because she had soup to drink, but more importantly because Lin Jiu had calmed down.

"I'll do the dishes tonight!" Wang Yuting raised her hand to indicate that she could do it!

"……Um."
