Ordinary Little Touch

Looking at Chen Shuo's cheeky smile, Su Xiyan realized that she had completely adapted to the small days with Chen Shuo by her side cracking jokes.

Ordinary, without too much romance, but unexpectedly comforting.

Originally she was like a loose water hyacinth, not knowing where she would drift to next. However, Chen Shuo's appearance was like giving her a harbor that made people feel peaceful.

Suddenly there were plans for the future.

She also clearly knew her definition of an ideal life in her heart.

The life she wanted was right in front of her. How could she stand by and watch the hopes that had just ignited extinguish again?

Chen Shuo got up from the bed: "Forget it, you look quite tired today."

"I won't joke with you!"

"What do you want to eat? I'll make it for you."

Su Xiyan shook her head: "Not hungry, just eat by yourself!"

Chen Shuo nodded: "Okay, then I'll just make some food for myself. If you get hungry later, let me know."

After finishing speaking, Chen Shuo left Su Xiyan's room.

In fact, Chen Shuo also saw that Su Xiyan had something on her mind, but it was better not to ask about a girl's troubles.

Moreover, Chen Shuo was also a person with a relatively strong sense of boundaries.

The troubles that girls don't voluntarily tell, Chen Shuo won't ask. This is the most basic respect. Chatting casually for a while is fine, but it's meaningless to dig deeper. Even if they are living together in the closest relationship, they should still have their own little privacy.

Chen Shuo found some ingredients in the refrigerator, then went to the kitchen and started cooking.

Soon, the familiar smell of smoke drifted out from the kitchen.

Listening to the sounds of pots and pans from the kitchen, Su Xiyan lay on the bed, staring blankly at the ceiling light.

Her clear eyes were covered with a layer of mist.

Tang Zhiyuan said that he wanted Su Xiyan to ask Chen Shuo if he had seen anything unusual around where the vampire king appeared.

Su Xiyan thought about it and still didn't ask Chen Shuo directly.

She was clear in her heart why Chen Shuo was there.

So far, the demon hunter monitoring network in Su City has detected extremely powerful vampire abilities several times.

Judging from the powerful abilities, this vampire was at least at the level of a vampire king.

One time it was in the equipment room of Nanli University, and one time it was near the small food street.

It just so happened that Chen Shuo appeared at the scene both times.

She didn't know how much monitoring Tang Zhiyuan watched and how many facial comparisons he made before filtering out Chen Shuo's figure among the crowd of people who appeared at the scene.

It could also be inferred from this that Tang Zhiyuan had extraordinary means beyond ordinary people.

More than vampires, Tang Zhiyuan was the one who should be vigilant.

Su Xiyan would rather take risks herself than get Chen Shuo involved with the demon hunter organization.

The waters there were too deep for an innocent boy like Chen Shuo to grasp.

Su Xiyan recalled Tang Zhiyuan's exhortation before leaving the tea room.

She picked up her phone and opened Tang Zhiyuan's WeChat conversation to send him a message:

【I asked Chen Shuo, he said he didn't remember.】

A few simple words were the greatest protection Su Xiyan could give Chen Shuo at the moment.

Soon after sending the message, Tang Zhiyuan replied:

【Hmm.】

Just a simple word, she didn't know if he believed it or didn't believe it at all.

Su Xiyan was too lazy to guess.

Whether he believed it or not, Tang Zhiyuan would take the next step.

Su Xiyan thought about it and felt that it would be more appropriate to be a little more prudent. So she called Cheng Xinran and asked her to help investigate the news to see if she could find out Tang Zhiyuan's next move.

Although Cheng Xinran was chirpy like a little foodie on a daily basis, when it came to serious matters, she was quite professional.

She immediately agreed and went to help Su Xiyan investigate the internal news of the demon hunters.

In addition, Cheng Xinran also did not want anything to happen to Chen Shuo. If Chen Shuo was discovered by Tang Zhiyuan to be a vampire and hunted down, where would she go to eat such delicious food in the future? With the appetite of a little foodie, she had been conquered by Chen Shuo's cooking skills over a simple meal.

After hanging up the phone, Su Xiyan sighed deeply.

No matter how big the problems she encountered before, Su Xiyan had never panicked like this.

Because before, she believed that she could handle it herself. Even if she was in danger, she was not as flustered as she was now.

Who made the person involved be Chen Shuo?

Although she was unwilling to admit it inwardly, Su Xiyan also realized that Chen Shuo had become her soft spot.

While she was worrying, Chen Shuo's voice came from the kitchen:

"Su Xiyan~~!"

He had probably called out several times without Su Xiyan hearing it.

So Chen Shuo started increasing his volume: "Su! Xi! Yan~~!!"

When Su Xiyan came to the kitchen, Chen Shuo was making meatballs with his hands.

His fingers were stained with some meat paste. Under his continuous pounding, the meatballs became very hearty.

Su Xiyan: "Why are you calling me?"

While pounding the handmade meatballs, Chen Shuo said: "Go to the flower pots on the balcony and pluck some green onions."

Su Xiyan had originally wanted to refuse, but seeing Chen Shuo's hands covered in meat paste, he simply couldn't free his hands.

She had no choice but to head to the balcony.

Su Xiyan liked quietness, so when she bought the Haiyi Apartment, she deliberately bought the top floor penthouse.

The top floor not only reduced a lot of noise, but also came with a larger attic and rooftop.

Su Xiyan originally grew some flowers outside the balcony. However, her main gardening technique was to keep changing the flowers.

After Chen Shuo came, those withered flowers came back to life.

Chen Shuo turned over the soil, added fertilizer, and planted some garlic sprouts and green onions in the empty flower pots.

When green onions were needed, there was no need to deliberately buy them. Pluck a few from the flower pots on the balcony, and they were ready.

And the homegrown ones seemed to smell better.

Su Xiyan plucked some green onions, and her fair hands were stained with some mud.

After plucking the green onions, she pulled off the roots in passing, preparing to rinse them clean under the faucet in the kitchen.

Chen Shuo had finished making the meatballs. Each one was perfectly round.

Seeing the mud on Su Xiyan's hands, Chen Shuo put down his kitchen utensils and took the green onions from Su Xiyan's hands: "Let me do it! Go wash your hands clean."

"Next time when plucking vegetables, don't pinch with your nails. There is a pair of scissors next to the flower pot. Cut along the roots with the scissors."

"A girl's hands are her second face and should be well taken care of."

While nagging, Chen Shuo rinsed the green onions clean.

Su Xiyan felt warm inside. Chen Shuo was talkative on a daily basis and often annoyed her, sometimes even very irritating.

But from his daily performance, Chen Shuo unintentionally showed his care for Su Xiyan.

This kind of natural emotional expression was very real. It didn't need any rendering. It was simply the most ordinary feeling.
