He froze . Then he chewed twice before swallowing it .
Su Yue consecutively fed him many chips .
They had parked the car in the underground carpark of the supermarket . When they got on, Ming Ansheng eyed the bottle of coke in Su Yue’s hand with a sly gleam in his eye .
He frowned and complained to Su Yue . “I’m thirsty now and I’m holding you responsible since you fed me so many potato chips . ”
Without thinking, Su Yue uncapped the bottle of coke and passed it to Ming Ansheng . “You can have a sip . ”
Ming Ansheng smiled satisfactorily and took it from her .
Then Su Yue grumbled to herself . “See, I told you to buy another bottle for me . Penny pincher . ”
Ming Ansheng would leave some for her but upon hearing her words, he thought against it . He tilted his head upwards and finished it .
Before Su Yue could react, the bottle was already empty .
She clenched her fists and heavily pounded on his shoulder . “I hate you to death . ”
Ming Ansheng smiled with an indescribable air of elegance .
“I’ll cook a delicious meal for you later . ” He started the car and melodious music filled the vehicle .
It had been a while since he felt so happy and carefree .
Once he entered, Ming Ansheng turned on the lights and took out his huge pair of slippers from the shoe cupboard . “Put these on . ”
Su Yue shook her head . “It’s fine . ”
She took off her shoes and walked barefooted into the house . She went past the porch and stopped in front of the fish tank in the living room .
She bent over and observed the fishes before frowning . “Uncle Ming, what happened to that beautiful butterfly-tail fish?”
The fish tank was empty . Not a fish in sight .
The previous time she came, there was only one fish, an exquisite butterfly-tail fish .
Ming Ansheng had already entered the kitchen and he answered, “It’s long dead . ”
“Why?” Su Yue sadly asked .
She walked over to the kitchen entrance and leaned against the door frame .
‘She was so sad over the death of a fish?’ Ming Ansheng smiled in amusement . “I rarely come here . It would be a miracle if it were still alive . ”
From what he remembered, she wasn’t one to be interested in cats, dogs, and small animals .
And she definitely wasn’t . But the previous time she came, that butterfly-tail fish captivated her . She even offered it some of her biscuits .
“Oh . ” Su Yue frowned .
Ming Ansheng asked, “Was a whole day of military training tiring? Go sit on the sofa and watch some TV . I’ll be done in a while . ”
He had already put on his apron and he was washing the chicken wings .
Su Yue looked at him in doubt . “Are you sure your chicken wings will taste good?”
Ming Ansheng felt angered that the little lass had questioned his abilities so many times . “Quickly sit on the sofa and watch TV . ”
“Fine . ” Su Yue pouted and turned to walk away .
Ming Ansheng finished washing the chicken wings and placed them onto a plate . He added seasoning and marinated them .
He was well-versed with the entire procedure .
He was busy in the kitchen for quite a while, and it seemed completely quiet outside . Ming Ansheng walked to the entrance of the kitchen and poked his head out, looking towards the sofa .
The TV wasn’t on, and Su Yue wasn’t in sight either .
Confused, he exited the kitchen . “Yueyue?”
Ming Ansheng walked over to the sofa . Su Yue was lying on it, eyes closed and fast asleep .
All of a sudden, even the time felt gentle .
He grabbed two tissues and wiped his hands . He then picked up a folded blanket . Softly, he walked over to Su Yue and bent down .
He draped the blanket over her body carefully .
“Yueyue . ” As he observed her pretty face, Ming Ansheng couldn’t help but call out to her, his voice ever so gentle .
