Chapter 95 Supplement
"You must be Lin Yuehua, you are so quiet and gentle."
Chen Lanying greeted Lin Yuehua kindly. She knew Lin Yuehua, as she had been singled out for praise at a parent-teacher meeting.
"Hello, Auntie..." Lin Yuehua showed a little embarrassment on her face, and the smile on the corner of her mouth was stiff and awkward.
"My classmate is a little introverted, you just go and do your own thing." Li Zhuangsheng urged with a smile.
"Okay, okay, then I won't bother you anymore!"
Chen Lanying nodded with a smile. She could see that Lin Yuehua was a little nervous, but she didn't take it to heart. Although Lin Yuehua was not as generous and sensible as Hu Mengdie, Chen Lanying had a good impression of her. Good students always have a filter in the minds of parents.
This brief conversation did not interrupt the rhythm of Li Zhuangsheng and Lin Yuehua's study, but Lin Yuehua's voice was no longer so harsh. Li Zhuangsheng tried his best to listen carefully and avoid being distracted by Hu Mengdie.
It was almost eleven o'clock when Lin Yuehua finally finished the first unit.
"Please do this question."
Lin Yuehua took out Li Zhuangsheng's exercise book and marked the key question types.
"Let's do it at noon. You should be hungry. I'll cook for you."
Li Zhuangsheng stretched lazily, seemingly nonchalantly.
Hu Mengdie smiled slightly: "Is there anything I can help you with?"
"No need for your help, he said he can handle it." Li Xiuyu pulled Hu Mengdie, "Let's go to my room to play..."
"Lin Yuehua, are you coming too?" Hu Mengdie invited with a smile.
Lin Yuehua lowered her eyes and smiled slightly: "I need to prepare for the math class this afternoon..."
“Wow, I still have to prepare lessons—” Li Xiuyu stretched out his voice and raised his eyebrows, “Great!”
Lin Yuehua naturally heard the sarcasm in the words, but she remained silent. She had sensed yesterday that Li Xiuyu didn't like her.
"Master, you have worked hard!" Li Zhuangsheng smiled smugly and patted Lin Yuehua's shoulder gently. "Then you can stay in my room for a while. The meal will be ready soon."
Lin Yuehua is introverted and doesn't necessarily like to communicate with outsiders. Moreover, Hu Mengdie is like a bomb now, who knows what mess she will do to Lin Yuehua.
Walking into the kitchen, Li Zhuangsheng asked Chen Lanying to go and rest while he started to prepare lunch by himself.
I haven't cooked so many dishes in a while, but I'm still not unfamiliar with it. It's fun to cook for others, especially today they are his closest people.
"Hello, how can I help you?"
The kitchen door was pushed open and Hu Mengdie walked in quietly.
"No, no, I can handle it!"
Li Zhuangsheng thought to himself that staying away from me would be the greatest help to me!
Hu Mengdie looked at Li Zhuangsheng with a smile: "I didn't expect that a boy like you could cook so skillfully!"
"Haha, I learned it from a recipe. I've only been learning it for a short time... I'm far from being proficient!" Li Zhuangsheng turned around and laughed, "I'm not very promising. I can only make these."
"No way! Boys who can cook are very attractive!" Hu Mengdie said seriously, staring at Li Zhuangsheng's busy back.
Li Zhuangsheng paused, then poured the Coke into the chicken wings, covered the pot and steamed it over high heat to absorb the sauce.
What a familiar dialogue.
When Li Zhuangsheng first cooked for Hu Mengdie, he said something similar, and Hu Mengdie also answered him in the same way. The tone was exactly the same.
The difference is that at first Li Zhuangsheng was very encouraged and delighted after hearing this, and he wanted to cook for her for the rest of his life, but now, he only feels a mixture of inexplicable sourness and disappointment in his heart.
"Please go out. The kitchen smells heavily of oil smoke and I can't move around if you stay here..." Li Zhuangsheng concentrated on cooking, waving the spatula without looking around.
Hu Mengdie bit her lips lightly, and instead of leaving, she quickly walked forward and gently hugged Li Zhuangsheng from behind.
"What are you doing..." Li Zhuangsheng's body floated, and the shovel in his hand almost fell out of his hand, "Don't do this, let go!"
He struggled slightly, but dared not make any sound or move too vigorously, lest the noise in the kitchen attract Chen Lanying and others.
"Just for a while, okay?" Hu Mengdie pressed her face against the back of Li Zhuangsheng's neck, her breath sad and pitiful, "I haven't hugged you for a long time."
"What do you mean by a long time? I don't understand. Let me go..."
The familiar fragrance filled Li Zhuangsheng's nose, and his resistance disappeared in an instant. Although it recovered after a while, his actions no longer showed the resistance at the beginning.
"Okay, I've finished filling in the gaps!" Hu Mengdie didn't make things too difficult for Li Zhuangsheng, and quickly let him go with a smile, "Then I'm leaving!"
"Well... don't do this next time. It won't be good if someone sees us." Li Zhuangsheng still didn't look at Hu Mengdie.
Hu Mengdie tilted her head and smiled: "Don't worry, I won't do this in front of other girls."
"No, that's not what I meant..."
Li Zhuangsheng subconsciously wanted to explain, but Hu Mengdie had already turned and left.
He breathed a sigh of relief, then bent over in humiliation. He really hated this high school body. Why did he act like a teddy bear all day long?
"You're so slow going to the toilet..." Li Xiuyu said casually while playing with his mobile phone on the bed.
"Haha, I happened to see my aunt and chatted with her for a while." said Hu Mengdie.
"Tell me, does Lin Yuehua like Li Zhuangsheng?"
"Why do you say that?"
"Look, normally, would an average person go to someone's house to tutor him during the holidays? And be so dedicated!"
"They have a good relationship, but it may not be what you think!"
"No... I think there is something fishy going on!" Li Xiuyu put down his phone and said confidently, "And didn't you hear that Lin Yuehua taught him everything from the very basics? And they were still in class yesterday!"
"Is that so..." Hu Mengdie knew the inside story and was just answering perfunctorily.
"Yes, Li Zhuangsheng is not a fool. He ranked more than 200th in the liberal arts in the last final exam!" Li Xiuyu said solemnly, "Even if I were to tutor him, would a normal person start from the beginning? Li Zhuangsheng must have done it on purpose! And my intuition is very accurate. Li Zhuangsheng must have a secret in his heart!"
"Ah, you think too much..." Hu Mengdie still perfunctorily said, "I think your brother cares about you more. His cola chicken wings are made for you, right? I heard him say that this is your favorite!"
"No way, he's just talking nonsense. I haven't eaten yet... Oh, you don't know, I feel like he's changed a little bit. Just the day before he had the 'car accident', he became a little weird!"
"strange?"
Hu Mengdie was startled and thought that Li Xiuyu was really sensitive to the changes in Li Zhuangsheng.
"Yeah, even though he doesn't seem to have changed much, I feel like he's suddenly become a little more mature... well, I don't know if it can be considered mature, but I just feel like he's weird!"
"Really? But I think he's still a sister-con!" Hu Mengdie grinned.
