Su Lingyu was a little excited, but quickly suppressed her curiosity.

[Not appropriate, not appropriate. I came here to thank him, not to rob him. If I really knocked him out, wouldn't that be repaying kindness with enmity?]

The system corrected its mistake and immediately chose a suitable one: [Then knock Huo Yan out! It doesn’t matter who you choose when you choose someone for the experiment! ]

[It’s easier to attack someone you know, there’s no loopholes! Haha! ]

Huo Yan: “……?”

Gu Yanying chuckled and picked up the teacup.

Then, they both realized something was wrong at the same time. The other person's actions seemed to be exactly the same as theirs. They looked at each other, and then looked away in disgust.

Su Lingyu thought for a moment and gave up: [Forget it, I feel tired when I think about taking action.]

[As long as the person returns safely, don’t bother thinking about the rest. ]

[Anyway, the plot line of this mission world has long been broken into pieces, and this is not the first time that strange things have occurred. ]

Sometimes she wondered if there was a bug in the system. But she couldn't ask the system about this, otherwise she would definitely cry.

Gu Yanying said: "Actually, escaping death this time is also a kind of experience for me."

Su Lingyu sat up straight and listened carefully.

Gu Yanying smiled gently and said frankly: "In the past, I had obsessions, perhaps confusion and resentment in my heart, and I walked into a dead end. Because of this, I finally encountered a ray of light, and I was very yearning for it. I never thought that I would be trapped by emotions again, and I was trapped in my own cocoon."

“But maybe people just need an opportunity.”

"At that moment of life and death, I suddenly understood a lot of things. Life is actually very short. We can reminisce in life, but we must never live in memories. Even if my childhood was difficult, I am no longer the helpless child I was before, and I should not be trapped by the shadow of my childhood."

"You can't force feelings, whether it's family, love, or friendship. Forcing it hurts others and yourself. It's better to take a step back and let the world be broader."

"More importantly, when I realized that I might die, the strongest desire in my mind was not what I thought it was, but the experimental project that I had not completed..."

"..."

As Gu Yanying spoke, Su Lingyu listened quietly.

As he listened, he nodded from time to time, his face full of understanding and deep agreement.

Of course, Gu Yanying's relief also made her feel much more at ease.

Noticing her change, a hint of helplessness flashed across Gu Yanying's brows, but then disappeared. She still looked calm and composed with a gentle smile.

He had meant these words specifically for Su Lingyu to hear, and she was the only one who took them to heart.

Huo Yan always has a blank expression on his face. At first glance, he seems very calm, but if you look closely, you will find that his eyes are too calm.

Jiang Yufeng sighed deeply in her heart.

They were almost done chatting, and seeing that it was getting late, Jiang Yufeng stood up and asked, "It's already half past ten, let's get ready to cook! Yanying, will you cook for lunch or should I?"

Cooking?

Su Lingyu subconsciously looked at Gu Yanying.

Gu Yanying was a very smart person. She noticed her little action out of the corner of her eye and immediately stood up and said with a smile, "Come to my house as a guest, of course I will do it, auntie, you just take a rest."

Jiang Yufeng smiled and said, "Okay, then I'll eat the ready-made food today."

Unexpectedly, Huo Yan stood up and said, "I'll help you."

Su Lingyu looked at him in surprise: "You can cook too?"

When camping in the wild, Huo Yan was a very good barbecued griller and could also cook noodles, but she had never seen him cook a proper meal.

Huo Yan nodded calmly: "A little bit."

Gu Yanying seemed to be thinking about something, and nodded with a half-smile, "Then I'll trouble Captain Huo. It will be faster if two of us work together."

The two walked out of the main room one after the other. Su Lingyu inexplicably felt that this scene was a bit too harmonious... If she had to make an analogy, it would probably be like Lin Daiyu and Godzilla being brothers.

She tapped the system: [Xiao Tongzi, when did they become so close? ]

The system's baby voice immediately sounded: [I don't know! I never thought that the two of them would actually cook together one day! ]

[A male protagonist and a villain, this combination is indeed a bit too exciting. It feels like a fight will break out at any minute. ]

Su Lingyu thought for a moment: [Hmm... I'm not worried that they will fight.]

[Huo Yan has always been calm and steady. With his personality, unless he encounters something extreme, he will never attack Gu Yanying when he comes to thank her.]

[I just sensed a strange competitive spirit from Huo Yan, and I thought it was a bit abnormal.]

The system asked curiously: [What do you mean by competitive spirit? ]

Su Lingyu tried for a second, but found that she didn't know how to describe it: [... Never mind, it may be that I am wrong. ]

Sitting there wasting time, thinking about acupuncture anesthesia, she looked at Jiang Yufeng beside her and said, "Master, let's talk about the project. The research has entered the final stage. If we work hard, we may be able to get results next month."

Jiang Yufeng glanced at her with a carefree look and said, "...Okay."

……

in the kitchen.

Ever since receiving Jiang Yufeng's call last night, Gu Yanying has been thinking about what to cook today, and went to the vegetable market early this morning to buy fresh ingredients.

In the morning, Su Lingyu and Huo Yan brought a lot of rare ingredients, so there were more choices.

He was very methodical, he first decided on the menu, then divided the main ingredients into portions according to the menu, divided the ginger, onion, garlic and other ingredients into portions, and then started preparing the food.

Huo Yan observed for a while and asked, "Is there anything I can do?"

Gu Yanying glanced at him and pointed at two of the ingredients: "Peel the taro and cut it into pieces. Chop the chicken into pieces and blanch them in hot water to remove the blood foam. Tear the cabbage into thumb-sized pieces, wash them clean, and drain the water. That's all."

"Row."

"You can?"

Huo Yan nodded: "I will."

He got up at five in the morning and borrowed a cookbook from Zhang Ma. He finished reading it in an hour and asked Zhang Ma many questions, so he was quite experienced.

At least he can understand the slightly technical term "blanching" and knows the specific steps.

The two of them occasionally talked about cooking, and occasionally discussed how to set up a trap for the Wuliang Organization. There was a magical harmony between them.

Jiang Yufeng was really worried, so in the middle of chatting with Su Lingyu, she pulled her to the kitchen door to observe.

Taking a quick peek inside, she saw that the two were getting along well. Gu Yanying patiently taught Huo Yan how to cut the rice into strips, and Huo Yan humbly thanked her and immediately smiled.

Turning back, she lowered her voice and said to Su Lingyu: "You are not worried about them, I am, but now you can rest assured."

“…”Su Lingyu nodded.

She wasn't really worried.

It’s just cooking. Gu Yanying is an experienced hand and it’s impossible for her to blow up the kitchen.

However, what the two of them didn't know was that as soon as they left, Huo Yan and Gu Yanying looked at each other, snorted at the same time, and stopped acting.
