Lin Zehan looked somewhat awkwardly at the unappetizing dishes on the table.
"It's fine, homemade is healthier," Ye Wan said with a smile as she walked over, picked up her chopsticks, and took a bite of meat.
It seemed a bit salty, but still passable.
"Don't touch it yet! Let me taste it first, and you can eat what's edible!" Lin Zehan quickly stopped her.
"It's okay, is there rice? I'd like some rice," Ye Wan asked.
"Yes! Don't worry, I specifically read the instructions and pressed the button. I didn't forget!"
After saying that, Lin Zehan went to check on the rice cooker. When he opened the lid, he was a bit dumbfounded. Why did it look different from the rice he usually ate? It seemed like there was too much water, and it had turned into porridge.
"Um... how about we just order takeout instead."
Ye Wan walked over, looked, then happily scooped out two bowls. "Eating porridge is easier to digest. Is this your first time cooking?"
"Yes, I've never cooked before. I was just following instructions on my phone," Lin Zehan had to admit.
"Then I'm honored to be the first person to eat your cooking." Ye Wan was genuinely touched. Even though Lin Zehan's cooking wasn't great, she felt his thoughtfulness.
This was someone who truly cared about her. How could she be picky?
After scooping two bowls of porridge, the siblings returned to the dining table to eat. Ye Wan then told him what to pay attention to when cooking. Lin Zehan took it to heart, promising to cook for her again next time and would definitely not make such a basic mistake.
After dinner, Lin Zehan even washed the dishes. As he came out, he asked Ye Wan worriedly, "Don't you feel lonely living here by yourself? Why don't I move in with you?"
"No need, I'm fine. I like living alone." Ye Wan didn't want to burden him too much.
"You really don't need me to stay? Aren't you scared at night?" Lin Zehan thought most girls would be scared living alone, like Lin Feifei, who was incredibly delicate.
"I'm not scared." Ye Wan was actually a little scared, but she didn't want Lin Zehan to worry.
In the end, Ye Wan still let Lin Zehan go home. Ye Wan was alone in the spacious house. She picked up her phone and called Gu Yunting.
He didn't answer.
Ye Wan's heart sank to the bottom.
She sent him a message, begging him to help send her brother to the training camp, hoping he would take care of him and not let him suffer too much.
This time, he replied quickly, but with only one word: "Okay."
Ye Wan stared at the word for a long, long time before slowly putting down her phone and lying back on the sofa, not wanting to move or speak.
Her phone rang again. Ye Wan thought it was Gu Yunting and immediately answered, her voice a little excited, "Hello..."
"It's Shen Ziche."
Ye Wan was disappointed and couldn't speak for a while.
"Sister, are you listening?" Shen Ziche somewhat uncertainly held the phone away, glanced at it, and confirmed it was still connected.
"Yes, is something wrong?" Ye Wan didn't want to deal with anyone right now, but she had a bit more patience for the young man, Shen Ziche, who had had a rather tragic experience.
Perhaps it was because she had also experienced hardship, that she wanted to offer a sheltering umbrella to Shen Ziche, who was enduring the hardships of the world.
"My mom knows someone helped her and is also sponsoring me for school. She personally made something to give to you," Shen Ziche said.
"Then please thank your mother for me. Tell her to rest well and not bother making things. I helped you because I wanted to, and I don't expect anything in return," Ye Wan replied indifferently, clearly in a bad mood.
"Then when do you have time? I'll bring it to you." Shen Ziche knew he shouldn't be like this, but he really couldn't help but want to see her more.
