“You’re contradicting yourself,” Ai Yin said.
"There's no contradiction. I'll still eat it if I have to, it's just that I don't like it."
"It's not that I can't do it this time..." Ai Yin thought to herself. Last time Su Shi was in charge of cooking, so it's reasonable for her to take over this time.
Although she really wanted to slack off, if this would get Su Shi to agree to her request, then she would naturally have to do it.
But Aine couldn't help but ask, "Why?"
Li Xi was equally concerned: "Lazy?"
Su Shi did not refute, and casually said, "Let's just say that's how it is."
Sometimes I want someone else to prepare dinner.
I sometimes crave the taste of my friends' cooking.
Occasionally, I just want to casually ask Aine for something.
You can give as many reasons as you want, and it doesn't matter which one you use.
However, everyone decided to watch the movie first, even if it was a bad movie, they would still watch it to the end. In other words, they wanted to see just how bad a bad movie could get.
Until Lena couldn't help but say to the protagonist's wings, "Ah, chicken wings."
Lixi covered her mouth, trying to suppress her laughter. But Su Shi, Deng, and Aine had already burst out laughing.
"It really looks like it, and it's like roasted chicken wings," Ai Yin said.
"puff...."
Lixi couldn't hold it in any longer and laughed a few times before leaning back on the sofa and closing her eyes again.
"I don't want to see anything anymore," she said.
Aine's voice drifted over: "Close your eyes at times like this, and you'll actually think of the movie we just watched."
Li Xi had no choice but to quickly open her eyes and said helplessly, "It's all your fault for making us watch this terrible movie."
But I felt much more at ease.
And this definitely has nothing to do with this terrible movie.
Chapter 73 Aine, the Prankster
“Soyorin can be too lazy to cook dinner too?” Aine pushed up her glasses and laughed.
"It's human nature to want to slack off sometimes. Aren't you wearing contact lenses anymore?"
Ai Yin sighed, "Contact lenses are very pretty, but they're uncomfortable to wear for long periods of time. It's better to wear regular ones at home."
"This is my home," Su Shi said calmly.
"I know."
After tying her hair into a single ponytail, Ai Yin took out her phone and browsed through the recipes.
She remembered what dishes everyone liked to eat, but she didn't know how to cook them.
"Not really."
Do you often use your phone with the lights off at night?
Ai Yin scrolled through her phone screen: "I wouldn't do that, generally speaking. If my prescription changes, I'll have to get new lenses. Since I don't want it to turn out that way, it's better to take care of my eyes."
So this is how you make vegetable pasta soup.
Lixi likes almond tofu.
I'm not picky about lamps, but I can't accept things like raw eggs or fish sauce.
Lena likes matcha and soba noodles, but it feels a bit strange to make both noodles and rice noodles.
Set your phone aside so that the recipe can continue to be displayed.
Ai Yin asked in surprise, "By the way, what are you doing here?"
"This is my home, of course I'll be here."
"I meant the kitchen. Didn't you want me to prepare dinner? Have you changed your mind?"
Su Shi shook her head slightly: "How could that be? I was just worried that you might clumsily make a mess of the kitchen and hurt yourself."
Ai Yin pouted: "It's good that you're worried about me, but don't underestimate me. I can still do this kind of thing."
"Then I'll wait and see."
Aiyin looked at the piles of ingredients, lost in thought.
Although we don't need to use all of them, it's still dinner for five people, so we still need to prepare several dishes.
It's a wonder Su Shi was able to do it so quickly and well last time; she's practically a model housewife.
“I will not help you,” Su Shi declared beforehand.
"How heartless."
"After all, it was an agreement. If you didn't keep it last time, you should make up for it this time, right?"
"Vengeful."
At this moment, Lixi, Lenai, and Deng walked over.
The lamp said softly, "Shall we help? We all worked together last time too..."
Lenai said succinctly, "I'm hungry, hurry up."
Even if we wanted to speed it up, we couldn't! Ai-yin really wanted everyone to help, but if Su-shi decided not to help, and the others cooked with her, Su-shi might feel ostracized.
But they might also get hit by a boomerang and join in.
After thinking for a moment, Ai Yin smiled and said, "It's okay, it's nothing, everyone just sit quietly."
Li Xi crossed his arms and tapped his elbow: "Isn't it faster for everyone to do it together than for one person to do it alone?"
"Does Riki really want to eat the dinner I made that much?"
"Huh? No way—"
Ai Yin placed her hands on Riki's shoulders, turned her around, and then pushed her along, saying, "Yeah, I understand. Let me give everyone a surprise. Riki, be a good girl and wait for dinner."
"Don't treat me like a child!" Li Xi said, dissatisfied.
But they did as they were told and sat down in the living room.
Su Shi, who had been silent all along, finally spoke softly: "I thought you would need help."
“I really want it, but Soyorin requires me to do it.”
"But you can exploit loopholes, can't you?"
It has to be Aine who does it, only Aine who does it.
Su Shi did not believe in Ai Yin and did not understand the art of wordplay.
“I don’t have to crawl. Okay, I’m going to focus on cooking now, soyorin, you can go back.” Aine said, putting her hand on Sose’s shoulder again.
"and many more--"
Stop making that kind of physical contact all the time.
Before Su Shi could finish speaking, Ai Yin pushed her out of the kitchen.
"Soyorin, you have to wait for me obediently, and don't run around."
Su Shi raised an eyebrow and said, "Don't make me sound like you."
I'm not a dog.
"What does this have to do with me!" Ai Yin complained, then went back to the kitchen to continue tinkering.
Is it really okay? She was the one who made the request, but Su Shi couldn't help but worry. Who knows if Aine might accidentally cut her hand or something.
If I had known this would happen, I shouldn't have made that request.
But she really didn't want to go to a romantic movie with Aine, whether it was with everyone or just the two of them.
With a sigh, Su Shi glanced at the kitchen every now and then, waiting for dinner to arrive.
Fortunately, Ai Yin did a fairly good job. As night quietly fell, familiar dishes appeared one after another on the table—although some of them were already cold.
Li Xi said helplessly, "I already said that it's more efficient to cook together. The food is getting cold."
Ai Yin awkwardly scratched her head: "Then I'll go heat it up."
"...No, let's eat it like this."
Lixi sat down immediately, quickly said "I'm starting to eat," and picked up her chopsticks.
"Thank you, Aiyin, you've worked hard." Deng thanked her and took her seat as well.
Lena silently ate her rice, then expressionlessly gave a double thumbs-up and a slight nod. She was probably saying it tasted good.
Su Shi glanced at Aine's fingers; there were no wounds or bandages. Good.
She scooped up a spoonful of soup and took a sip.
It tasted quite different from what she'd had before. Did Aine really follow the recipe? But she didn't dislike the flavor.
But I didn't intend to eat it every day.
After dinner, Su Shi pressed the remote control and changed the TV channel.
"Someone like you... I'm going to correct you!"—The TV was playing an anime, and the protagonist, whose name sounded like a girl's, punched the blond man in the face.
Pressing the button reduced the volume considerably; they didn't intend to continue watching TV, but simply used it as background noise.
Lixi was composing music on his laptop, and the headphones he was wearing were the same kind that Aiyin was very familiar with.
"No... this is too monotonous..."
She muttered similar words from time to time, and judging from her furrowed brows, things weren't going very well.
But Su Shi felt that Li Xi's demands were too high and too perfect, which was why he kept running into obstacles.
But if Lixi were to lower her expectations, she would definitely be met with a "Huh?" in response. No matter what, she couldn't do that.
If the pressure she puts on her teammates is 100%, then the pressure she puts on herself is undoubtedly 200%.
The lamp seemed to have some inspiration and was writing lyrics.
"Well--"
But she wrote and stopped, occasionally making revisions, so it didn't seem to be going very smoothly. Transforming one's inspiration and emotions into concrete lyrics is also a difficult task.
"At least I can't do it," Su Shi thought to herself.
Aine and Rakuna are practicing the piano.
Of course, the latter is more like playing around, without any worries, just enjoying the music. The former, on the other hand, would scratch their head and look troubled when faced with the difficult training pieces given by Li Xi.
"Doesn't Soyorin practice bass?"
“I practiced before you came,” Su Shi said.
Lixi took off his headphones, looked up and said, "You haven't been playing bass again for very long, have you? You should practice more."
"I know what I'm doing."
She doesn't take Li Xi's pressure to heart.
“...That’s fine then.” Li Xi rubbed his temples, seemingly feeling a little tired.
It's almost time. Su Shi said, "Who's planning to take a shower first? The hot water is ready, we can use it anytime."
"You have to take a shower at Su Shi's house." Li Xi was a little reluctant, but she had sweated on the way to the apartment, so she couldn't not shower.
"Me first, me first!" Ai Yin raised her hand and said.
"Why are you so excited?" Su Shi asked helplessly.
"Because Soyorin's bathroom is very big, taking a bath will definitely be very comfortable. By the way, can I use Soyorin's shampoo and body wash? I didn't bring those two things with me."
Su Shi casually asked, "Why didn't you bring it?"
Aine's expression was subtle: "I'd like to ask you why you brought it? It's very heavy!"
It wasn't uncommon for people to want to know what brand of shampoo Su Shi was using.
