Chapter 16: 16

Su Yuli thought of countless ways to repay Lin Suiyan’s kindness, but he rejected them one by one.

When Aunt Xu asked for leave due to family affairs, Su Yuli suddenly had an idea, and he decided to cook a meal for Lin Suiyan.

In Su Yuli’s heart, starvation and injury are very serious things. Moreover, he thinks that he grew up in a honey pot since he was a child. He’d never entered the kitchen, and never even cooked for his family. That he is willing to cook for Lin Suiyan, must be a blessing from Lin Suiyan’s previous life.

If it weren’t for this accident, Lin Suiyan would never be able to eat his cooking in his life.

Su Yuli was very happy. He decided that, since his first cooking was very meaningful and valuable, it could completely offset Lin Suiyan’s kindness of protecting him.

As long as he pays back this favor then he could continue to scold him in his heart without feeling guilty.

Su Yuli was elated and his eyes were shining, but the housekeeper was very worried.

The housekeeper knows Wen Jin’s family background. How could such a young master who is cared for by his family be able to cook. It would be good if he just didn’t blow up the kitchen.

He tried to dissuade him: “Master Wen, if you don’t like the food from the restaurant, I’ll ask them to cook some home-cooked food and send it over.”

Su Yuli shook his head: “No, I want to cook a meal for Suiyan myself.”

Looking at Su Yuli’s expectant face, the housekeeper knew that he couldn’t persuade him, so he could only smile: “Okay, then I will trouble Young Master Wen.”

Su Yuli didn’t see the housekeeper’s worry, he patted his chest and said to himself : “No trouble, go and rest. Just leave the rest to me.”

The housekeeper responded with a smile then turned went to complain to Lin Suiyan. Lin Suiyan was having a video conference with the company’s executives in the study, and when the housekeeper came in, he closed the computer.

After listening to the housekeeper’s words, Lin Suiyan was a little surprised: “Xiao Jin wants to cook by himself?” He smiled, “Well, how did he think of doing that?”

The housekeeper said: “”Master Wen said he wanted to cook a meal for you personally. It’s just that I think Master Wen should be a master who keeps his fingers clean. There are knives and fires in the kitchen. What if he gets hurt?”

He meant to let Lin Suiyan talk to Su Yuli and make him stop thinking about cooking. Unexpectedly, after listening to him, Lin Suiyan said, “Since he wants to do it, let him do it. Please watch him and don’t let him hurt himself. “

Housekeeper: “…”

At first he thought Lin Suiyan would persuade him. But he didn’t expect him to be so spoiling and indulgent towards him. Even though he wanted to say something else, Lin Suiyan had already picked up the documents on the table and began looking through them.
 

When the housekeeper went downstairs, Su Yuli had already quickly decided what to do. He checked the Internet and found that shredded potatoes and tomato scrambled eggs are the best recipes for beginners.

Considering that Lin Suiyan was injured and needed nourishing food, Su Yuli decided to also make crucian carp soup, and steamed rice.

The ingredients that the Lin family uses every day are delivered in the morning, and are very fresh. Several ingredients that Su Yuli needs to use happen to be available at home. Potatoes and tomatoes are brightly colored, and the crucian carp is kept in the kitchen tank, fresh and plump.

Su Yuli rolled up his sleeves, rinsed the potatoes, and said to himself, “Shred the potatoes.” However, watching the tutorial made it seem easy to cut them but when he tried it himself, he discovered it wasn’t so easy.

Su Yuli looked at his results on the cutting board, frowning slightly, “I obviously cut the same as him, why…”

The housekeeper smoothly said: “It doesn’t have to be shredded, stewed potato… pieces are pretty good too.”

 Su Yuli: “…”

It doesn’t matter. It’s the first time he’d done it, Su Yuli comforted himself. He will be able to cut tomatoes beautifully next time.

After preparing the ingredients properly, Su Yuli turned on the stove. He soon discovered that chopping vegetables was quite simple, but cooking them was really difficult.

He followed the online tutorial step by step, but the potatoes he made were burnt, and when he scrambled the eggs, the pot caught fire and the bottom of the pot was red.

Su Yuli hurriedly took a bowl of water and poured it in. The housekeeper gave a sigh. It was already too late to stop him.

The cold water rolled into the pot, and the fire burned even more vigorously. Su Yuli was startled by the suddenly high flames. The housekeeper quickly stepped forward to pull Su Yuli away. Then he covered the pot and turned off the burner.
 

Although the range hood was turned on, the kitchen was still full of the smell of oil smoke, which was bitter and choking. Su Yuli couldn’t help but sneeze several times.

The housekeeper pushed Su Yuli: “Master Wen, go out first, and then come in after the smell dissipates.”

Su Yuli nodded, and when he left the kitchen, he saw Lin Suiyan approaching.

Su Yuli’s first reaction was to prevent Lin Suiyan from seeing the mess in the kitchen, so he quickly closed the kitchen door.

The housekeeper who was about to come out: “…”

Su Yuli wiped his face and said to Lin Suiyan in a relaxed manner: “Hungry? Wait a minute, it will be ready soon.”

Lin Suiyan looked at Su Yuli. He’d just been upstairs and he could clearly hear the screams of Su Yuli and the housekeeper, so he had come down to check on the situation.

When Lin Suiyan saw that Su Yuli was fine and not injured, he didn’t expose him, “I just came down to get a glass of water.”

The housekeeper’s uncontrollable coughing came from the kitchen. Su Yuli turned his head. , then pulled Lin Suiyan over to sit down on the sofa, “I’ll pour it for you. You wait here and don’t walk around.”

After Lin Suiyan was put in place, Su Yuli fought again, if the stir fry failed, he could also boil fish soup. That was easy to do. The housekeeper had lingering fears, but looking at Su Yuli’s bright eyes, he could only swallow his unspoken words silently.

Seeing that Su Yuli was clumsily holding the knife, and could injure himself. The housekeeper killed the fish himself, and handed it over to Su Yuli after cleaning it up.

    

Su Yuli heated up the oil, and when he picked up the fish’s tail, the fish that had already had it’s stomach opened up jumped violently. Su Yuli was so shocked that he let it go, and the plump crucian carp just slipped into the pot, jumping even more joyfully.
 

The housekeeper groaned and shouted, “Get out of the way! Be careful of getting burned!”

The kitchen was a mess. When Lin Suiyan opened the kitchen door, the fish was still churning in the pot. He put his suit jacket over Su Yu Li, to prevent him from being scalded by the boiling oil.

Lin Suiyan pulled Su Yuli out, checked his condition again, and was relieved to see that he was not burned.

 

“Let’s call it a day and try again next time,” Lin Suiyan said.
 

The  housekeeper replied from the kitchen: “Yes, Master Wen, there will be more opportunities in the future. This meal will be the same whenever you cook it. You can try again later.”

He told himself that he’d persuaded him this time, and the next time Su Yuli entered the kitchen it would be the year of the monkey and month of the horse.1

Su Yuli didn’t want to be very insistent, he didn’t want to wait for the “Monkey Year and Horse Month” to try again. He vowed to make a meal today.

Su Yuli insisted on it not only to wash away the guilt he felt towards Lin Suiyan, but also for his dignity as a man.

Su Yuli hates people who don’t keep their word. He said that he wanted to cook for Lin Suiyan today, so he must do it.
 

Su Yuli calmly pushed Lin Suiyan and the housekeeper to the living room, turned around, and entered the kitchen.

Hearing the sound of the door closing, the housekeeper’s eyes widened in surprise. He said to Lin Suiyan, “Young Master Wen used to listen to you the most, but today …” He even drove Lin Suiyan away to the sofa with a stinky face. This has never happened before.

Lin Suiyan smiled and shook his head: “Yes, he’s spoiled.”

The housekeeper looked at Lin Suiyan’s handsome smile, and his heart moved. He felt that after getting married, Lin Suiyan’s temperament was much gentler and the little young master of the Wen family also had some slight changes. The biggest change was the relationship between the two.
 

When they were in love before, Wen Jin often came to the Lin’s house.

At that time, Lin Suiyan treated Wen Jin well. But every time Wen Jin left, Lin Suiyan would have a very cold and tired look on his face, as if he brought Wen Jin over, but he was just going through the motions to complete a task.

In the eyes of outsiders, Lin Suiyan undoubtedly loved Wen Jin very much, but the housekeeper felt that this was not the case.
 

The love in Lin Suiyan’s eyes was real, but that love was pressed in the deepest depths, and when he looked at Wen Jin, it seemed that he was looking at someone else through him.

Compared with Lin Suiyan, Wen Jin was completely in love. He would act coquettishly, be angry, be petulant, and expect his lover to coax him.

Lin Suiyan would indeed coax, but his patience was limited. As though if Wen Jin continued to be so willful, he would abandon him.

After a few times, when Wen Jin faced Lin Suiyan, he restrained a lot, and stopped being petty for no reason.

Aware of Wen Jin’s sullenness, Lin Suiyan explained that he was very busy and tired after working every day, and he hoped to have a sensible and intimate lover.
 

Wen Jin loved Lin Suiyan too much, and when he heard this, he felt guilty.
 

At that time, the housekeeper thought that Lin Suiyan didn’t love Wen Jin that much, and maybe he was only with him for some other reason. However later, they got engaged, and then they got married as fast as lightning after their engagement.
 

Looking at it again today, Lin Suiyan is clearly very kind and tolerant to Wen Jin.

After getting married, Wen Jin was also much more casual when he got along with Lin Suiyan, and he was not as sensible as before—yes, he was sensible.

Although the housekeeper is middle-aged, he has a girlish heart. He thinks that it is normal for lovers to be petty and capricious.

During the period when Lin Suiyan was injured, the relationship between Wen Jin and Lin Suiyan became more and more natural.
 

The housekeeper wondered, is all this change due to marriage? Or is it that my eyes were bad  before?

But no matter what, the master’s family is harmonious and happy, which he is happy to see.

After an unknown time, the kitchen door opened. The housekeeper thought that Su Yuli had finally given up. He stood up and saw Su Yuli put two plates of fruit on the coffee table. “First eat some fruit to pad your stomach.”

With these words, Su Yuli returned to the kitchen.

The housekeeper had to sit down again and listen to the banging from the kitchen. The housekeeper was scared, but Lin Suiyan was leisurely drinking tea.

The housekeeper endured it, but still asked, “Sir, are you really not going to take a look?”

Lin Suiyan pushed the fruit plate in front of the housekeeper and said, “Eat some fruit to pad your stomach first.”

In the kitchen, Su Yuli looked at the stuffed garbage can and fell into deep thought, for a long time. He had to admit that he really had no talent for cooking.

Su Yuli is not a person who doesn’t know how to be flexible. He decisively gave up cooking, and decided to ask  for outside help.
 

.

Su Yuli quickly went through the people he knew in this world. His mother Yao Yuxiu certainly couldn’t help him. Mother Wen had been a darling daughter since childhood. After being married for so many years, she still couldn’t tell the difference between seasonings.

His sister-in-law was a workaholic like his brother, and she didn’t know how to cook either. Yang Shuo? Even more impossible.

Finally, Su Yuli asked a girl from his class. The girl is a food expert and has a lot of experience in cooking. After some questioning, Su Yuli finally decided what to do – hot pot.

Su Yuli sighed, why didn’t he think of that? He is good at hot pot, and it’s safe and convenient if you make mistakes. It’s just that Lin Suiyan lives alone, and it is impossible to eat hot pot.

Su Yuli called someone to bring the ingredients and pots over, and after he’d washed the ingredients and put them onto the table, it was already two o’clock in the afternoon.

Su Yuli sat down opposite Lin Suiyan and said, “You’re injured, so you can’t eat spicy food. I made a mandarin duck pot, so you can eat the side that’s not spicy.”
 

Lin Suiyan looked at him bustling around and said casually: ” Why did you suddenly want to cook?”

Su Yuli was immersed in the joy of finally being able to repay the scumbag’s kindness, and without thinking, he said, “In order to protect me from being injured, you got hurt.  So it’s what I should I do for you.”

Lin Suiyan smiled, “Thank you for your hard work.”.

The hot pot quickly boiled, and Su Yuli used chopsticks to grab a piece of lamb and put it into the bowl in front of Lin Suiyan, who picked it up and ate it.

Lin Suiyan had been injured on his right arm and had been eating with his left hand all this time, and he had become more and more proficient.
 

Su Yuli looked expectantly at Lin Suiyan’s expression and asked expectantly, “is it delicious?”

Lin Suiyan nodded, “mm-hmm.”

Su Yuli’s eyes suddenly lit up, and his heart was so happy that he gave Lin Suiyan another piece of meat and said: “If it’s delicious, then eat more.”

Lin Suiyan said, “You can eat it too. Don’t just take care of me.”

Su Yuli made a sound of agreement and took a piece of duck intestine and dipped it into the pot. He thought that since Lin Suiyan had eaten the meal he cooked, then he and Lin Suiyan were even. So he didn’t have to feel guilty anymore.

Su Yuli was very happy to eat this meal.

The housekeeper had been invited to dine with them and he smiled and watched their interaction, thinking that his eyes were really not very good before. At the same time, he sighed with emotion. Now that the young people are in love, ah, really… Greasy to death.
 

After eating for about two hours the table was very messy. Lin Suiyan said, “Wait for Auntie to come back tomorrow to clean up.”

Su Yuli was too lazy to clean up. So he nodded and went to the sofa with the washed fruit.

Su Yuli had been busy since the morning. So after having had a full meal, he went to sleep before the fruit in the fruit bowl was finished.

Lin Suiyan went back to his room and put a blanket on Su Yuli.

Su Yuli turned over and muttered something. Lin Suiyan smiled and sat back in his original position.
 

He didn’t go back to his study for business, nor did he go back to his room to have a rest. Instead, he just sat quietly, his limbs unusually stretched and relaxed.

After entering this world, he hadn’t been as relaxed as this in a long time.

Yes, he was not from this world.

For some reason, he had read the book “Substitute”. After reading it, he didn’t say anything, just closed the webpage with a faint look.
 

It’s just that he didn’t expect that he would “become” Lin Suiyan. The scumbag who was scolded by others in the book and who he despised himself.

The man’s eyes fell on Su Yuli, who was asleep. In his opinion, Wen Jin, one of the protagonists, was very good. He was gentle, kind, and dedicated.

Such a kind and gentle person should not be trampled on like in the book. He deserves better.
