NOVEL WEB Chapter 91
After Bai Yu returned to the store to work, nothing special happened. She just kept doing her own things silently without saying anything.
But this is not surprising. After all, Wu Yue has left. For someone like Bai Yu who doesn't often interact with others... it's normal not to say anything.
So, after feeling that she had done enough investigation today, Liu Meng packed up her things and prepared to go home after get off work.
After all, there is one more person at home now, and she can't work overtime like before.
Bai Yu, who saw her packing up, showed a rare surprised expression and said:
"Um, Liu Meng? Can you go home so early today? You never get off work at this time before, right?"
"Oh~ That's because I always stayed to work overtime voluntarily before."
Looking at Bai Yu's slightly surprised look, Liu Meng smiled and replied:
"Recently, I have some things to deal with, so I will get off work earlier. After all, I have worked overtime many times, and the owner also gave me the right to adjust myself, so I can go home earlier."
"Ah...Is that so."
After hearing Liu Meng's answer, Bai Yu nodded, and did not explore this strangeness for a while, but just said:
"Goodbye, Liu Meng."
"Well, goodbye."
Smiling and waving goodbye, Liu Meng pushed the door and left the cake shop.
Looking at her leaving figure, Bai Yu sighed, and recalled the scene not long ago when Youyu brought Wuyue to buy cakes.
If she hadn't escaped at that time, she could probably be like Liu Meng now, smiling no matter what she faced.
"Youyu..."
"How are you now?"
————
Walking on the way home, passing through the alley, going downstairs, taking the elevator, and soon, Liu Meng arrived at her door.
"..."
Looking at the scenery downstairs through the window, Liu Meng stood there for a while, and then looked at her door again, wondering what she was thinking.
"Click-"
"Hmm? This smell is..."
After turning the key and opening the door, Liu Meng smelled a strange smell at the first time... This smell was not strange to her. She often smelled this smell in the restaurants she had visited before. It was the smell of food.
"Could it be Youyu?"
Thinking so, Liu Meng looked at the kitchen not far away, and sure enough, she saw a tired figure.
The owner of the figure, Youyu, seemed to have noticed Liu Meng's gaze towards him. After putting down a bowl in his hand, he raised his head, looked at her, and said with a surprised smile:
"Ah, Liu Meng, you are back? Sorry, I didn't notice you just now... You should go sit down and take a rest. The food will be ready soon."
"... I didn't expect you to cook."
"Huh? There's nothing strange about this, right? After living alone, this skill is a must, right?"
"No, I'm not talking about this... I mean, I thought you wouldn't be familiar with this place so quickly, but I didn't expect you to do it. "It's time to eat."
"Well... After all, staying here all day is too boring. I can't sit still and can't watch TV, so I just have to find something to do."
"Besides, I have roughly figured out my own situation now. If it weren't for your help, I don't know what to do next."
"So... It can be regarded as a reward. After all, I may have to ask you for help in the future. If I don't do something, I really feel bad."
After listening to Youyu's explanation, Liu Meng looked at him, silent for a long time, and then suddenly smiled and shook his head.
"Um, what's wrong with you, Liu Meng?"
"Nothing... I just suddenly feel that you might still be saved?"
"Huh?"
Without responding to Youyu's confused expression, Liu Meng quickly put down her things, walked to the kitchen, and took an apron and said:
"Let me help you. After all, I am the owner of this house, and I promised to take good care of you. If I let you work here alone, I would feel bad."
"Besides, if two people work together, the speed can be faster."
"...You are right, but you just came back from get off work, is it okay if you don't take a break?"
"I'm used to it,It doesn't matter."
"Well, then okay."
Seeing Liu Meng's determination to help her, You Yu didn't refuse anymore, and got into the state again and got busy.
And Liu Meng didn't say much else. Relying on her previous memory, she gradually sorted out the dishes.
...
After the two of them worked together, they moved quickly and finished the basic work of these dishes in a few strokes.
Next, it was just a few repeated processes. After they were finished, they could start eating.
"However, I wanted to make a few more, but the ingredients in the refrigerator... are really pitiful."
Looking at the only two dishes on the table, You Yu couldn't help but sigh.
"Well, after all, I don't cook for myself, so I don't buy much meat, vegetables and other things."
Nodding, Liu Meng said.
"If this is necessary for you, I will buy more next time. Then, you don't have to worry about having no food to eat. Moreover, I will go and start again. After all, I can't always trouble you. ”
“Actually…if you are very busy at work, you don’t have to do these things.”
“After all, from what you said, the reason why you don’t usually cook for yourself is because of work, right? You did the same at noon, you came back to cook and left in a hurry.”
“If you don’t have time, there is really no need to do these things.”
“If you must do it…then just bring me the bread you usually eat, anyway, my taste is acceptable.”
“No! How can this be done?”
After listening to what Youyu said, Liu Meng’s expression became serious and said:
“You have just become a negative beast not long ago. Compared with those bland breads, hot food made by yourself can replenish more energy and suppress your negative emotions!”
“Besides, I have already promised to take good care of you. If I don’t do it because of the trouble, it would be too irresponsible! ”
“And there is——”
“…”
So, before he knew it, Liu Meng’s lecture lasted for more than half an hour.
And Youyu’s expression changed from “listening to the lecture with an open mind” at the beginning to a little numb.
Until she reacted in the end and the food was about to get cold, she hurriedly ended it.
Looking at her somewhat flustered look, Youyu sighed deeply.
“I’ve probably figured out Liu Meng’s personality…”
Her personality is the kind that likes to chat with children, but between the lines, it reveals that she is good to children—a mother’s personality!
After all, it’s hard not to associate her preaching skills and tone.
Moreover, this also made Youyu think of a sentence “XX, is the person who can become my mother…”
“Youyu, don’t be in a daze there!”
“Come and help!”
“…Oh! Here I come!”
