At three o'clock in the afternoon, the heat of the scorching sun faded, and the warm sunshine like yellow silk covered the entire courtyard.

In the broken shadows of the leisurely time, Qianli's figure wearing a white lace apron is busy in the kitchen, wandering around like a blue and white butterfly.

"Mother Xu, how did you do this time?" Li Yuan carefully brought out the hibiscus custard from the steamer, shyly caressed the blue crystal earrings shining on his ears, his eyes were filled with expect.

On the large solid wood dining table in front of you, there are seven or eight bowls of custard in blue and white porcelain bowls of the same style. There is a common sweet taste of eggs floating in the air, but the shapes of custard inside are different.

Among them, the surface of three or four bowls is covered with pitted air bubbles, and the custard is flocculent and steamed too old, which is a failure at first glance.The rest of the bowls are slightly better, the surface is still smooth, with a smooth and tender appearance, but there are still some small flaws that are not perfect.

Apart from the convenience of cooking with eggs, this is Li Yuan's first serious cooking. Considering the patient's light diet, those dishes that need to be fried are not taken into consideration, and he will not be able to learn them in a short time.

Culinary talent is not enough, he has been experimenting for two hours just for this bowl of hibiscus custard.

At first, Madam Xu went out to do the shopping and was not in the villa. Li Yuan fiddled with it and failed completely. After he hurriedly invited Mama Xu back to guide her, the latest two or three bowls of finished products looked decent.

However, Li Yuan still insisted on doing every step by himself, even such a trivial matter as bringing out the bowl and putting it on the table.

It is bound to be extremely rigorous in expressing one's intentions.

Madam Xu stood by the island platform to choose vegetables, with a faint smile on her lips, and when she saw a new bowl of custard came out of the pan, she put down the beans in her hand and moved towards it.

"That's right, that's enough." He nodded, looking very relieved.

When Li Yuan's excited little eyes came over, she frowned slightly, and said with a gentle smile, "Young Madam, why don't you try it first?"

Just because it looks good doesn't mean it tastes good.

Li Yuan scooped up a spoonful of jelly-like custard and put it into his mouth. Within two seconds, he frowned, "...a bit salty."

"It's okay," Xu Ma smiled slightly, not forgetting to encourage Li Yuan, "It's okay to keep the next bowl!"

Li Yuan scratched his head, but he didn't look depressed, and sighed with a smile: "It turns out that cooking is so difficult, Mama Xu, you are so good, not only can cook, but also make super delicious food, you are a genius in the culinary world! "

This small mouth is sweeter than honey, Mama Xu was amused immediately, and she laughed and said, "Don't coax my old lady here, the young master will be in a hurry later, be careful he will punish you."

The relationship between the two became more and more harmonious, and Mama Xu made a lot of jokes.

Mentioning that person made his heart palpitate inexplicably, Li Yuan muttered: "...he is reluctant to punish me."

After finishing speaking, he took another egg and cracked it on the edge of the glass bowl, his expression was very focused, but his cheeks were quietly flushed.

The egg liquid was stirred up little by little in his hand, and mixed into a harmonious light yellow color. Li Yuan blinked slowly, and couldn't help recalling the scene that shocked his heart and soul not long ago in his mind.

"Sheng Jin, I like you so much..."

At that time, he was eager to express that surging emotion, and when he was dazed, he confessed his love rashly.The person on the opposite side was probably frightened by him, and kept silent for a long time before a "hmm" escaped from his throat.

Only this sound, nothing else.

At that time Li Yuan's face was full of tears, his vision was blurred and he was panting urgently, his heart was agitated and nervous, when he was suddenly hit by this short and steady "um", he was stunned for a moment, even the tears were startled back.

What does "um" mean?

He wanted to ask, but just as he opened his mouth, the string of tears that were about to fall on the eyelashes trembled into his mouth, his throat choked up, and he accidentally hung up the phone.

After the mood calmed down, he was embarrassed to call again, but the person on the other side didn't know what to think, and he didn't call back.

It's like being twitchy, and they both need to calm down.

After stirring the egg mixture slowly for 3 minutes, Li Yuan recovered from his sour and sweet thoughts.

According to the steps taught by Xu Ma, he added salt, soy sauce, a small amount of cooking oil and warm water to the egg liquid and stirred evenly, then scooped out the small bubbles on the surface with a small spoon, and finally did not forget to dip the egg liquid with chopsticks to taste the salt. Light, put everything in the steamer properly.

Then, sit at the dining table and wait quietly for the egg custard to take shape.

Beside the table, soft golden light shines through the rhombus-shaped window, just gathering a bunch of soft light and falling on the pure white lace apron.At this time, the face of the person wearing the apron is quiet and pretty, matching with the high-end wooden kitchen around, quietly outlines a warm and quiet picture.

It's very homely and has a different kind of provocative feeling.

It's a pity that someone hasn't had a chance to see it for the time being.

Li Yuan propped his chin and pondered for a moment, and decided to tell the old man first, otherwise, if his intentions were lost, he would definitely die of depression.

Without going through my brain much, I hurriedly sent a message:

【Have you got a meal yet? 】

Very good, it started with a stupid sentence, which belongs to the kind of straight guy who can't chat.

Is it true that the person who is tempted first loses?

Li Yuan felt that he was out of shape, and his aura was weakened a lot.

No!

He immediately adjusted his mentality and changed his tone.

[Wait for me to have dinner together in the evening, I will go there right away. 】

Saying this, it seems to be too arrogant, dry and cold.

Do you want to send a few emoticons?

He clicked on a bunch of cute sand sculpture emoticons collected in the chat box. For some reason, his fingers were dangling, but he still couldn't choose a suitable one.

It stands to reason that after confessing his love, he should strike while the iron is hot, and arrange all the love words and coquettishness, but his coquettish technique has entered the skill CD stage since the accidental phone call, and he can't use it at all.

And that "um" really makes people feel insecure.

Do you want to fall in love with him?

"Boom-"

Suddenly, Li Yuan knocked his head on the table, making a whining sound of "Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo."

Ten seconds later, he suddenly raised his head.

His gaze then fell naturally, it was okay not to look at it, but he was completely dazed by the picture on the phone screen when he looked at it.

Hey guy, look what he posted?

It turned out to be a series of provocative emojis of "a dog holding a rose", which filled the entire chat box!

"..."

May I ask is there any man in the world who is oilier than him?

Li Yuan hurriedly picked up his phone and planned to call back, but unexpectedly, the ruthless boss who hadn't replied for a long time actually returned.

——A unique red heart with no prefix or follow-up.

Li Yuan opened his mouth in a daze, and even wanted to pinch himself hard.

It was like a dream.

After all, this was the first time the old man sent him something other than words and punctuation marks, and the first time it was a heart!

More importantly, the old man wasn't so greasy by him?

Mama Xu looked at Li Yuan who was smirking at the table, then glanced at the steamer on the stove, and had to remind her: "Young Madam, the custard is almost ready, if you wait, you will get old."

There is a little sarcasm in the words.

Hearing this, Li Yuan immediately stood up instinctively, not caring about getting bored with the old man.

After all, if you delay for another second, you will be able to see him one second later, and if you pick and choose from the air, it is worth what you can see with your eyes and touch with your hands.

When the custard came out of the pan, it was Li Yuan's heart that moved God of Cooking. This time, the finished product was as delicious and smooth as mango pudding, without any flaws that would spoil the beauty.

Just like that peach heart, it is complete and pleasing to the eye.

Seeing this, Mama Xu quickly put the meals she had prepared into the insulated box, together with the bowl of colorful vegetable salad that Li Yuan made earlier.

About half an hour later, Li Yuan returned to the hospital with two bodyguards and two big insulation boxes.

Pushing open the door, the sun was just warming up, and when they collided with the slightly raised eyes of the people in the room, both of them were stunned for a moment.

To be precise, it took only half a day for them to separate, but the sight they met seemed to cross mountains, rivers, lakes and seas, and there was a kind of joy of reunion after a long absence, and a trace of unspeakable melancholy.

Of course, melancholy belongs to Li Yuan unilaterally.

The old man still looked calm and introverted, his black eyes narrowed slightly, he turned his face away, and focused his gaze on a book with a red cover.

His demeanor was the same as yesterday, serious and focused.

At this time, he was not resting in bed like yesterday, but was sitting in a Windsor chair in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows, with the books spread out on his overlapping legs, his side face was as handsome as before, and his posture was more leisurely and elegant.

Li Yuan's eyes felt sore when the soft light filter was applied by the gentle sunlight.

Such a person should not, let alone die tragically at the hands of gangsters.

As for those who hurt him, they must pay the due price!

In an instant, a fiery little universe was ignited in Li Yuan's heart, and his whole body was filled with fiery courage. He clenched his hands and strode towards the French window.

That movement, that expression, can be described as imposing and menacing.

Sensing the movement, Sheng Lin didn't raise his eyes, but subconsciously bent his finger resting on the page.

The next moment, Li Yuan was standing in front of the man who was reading with downcast eyes, his fists were tightly clenched, he took a deep breath, but he couldn't say a word.

But judging from his uncontrollable excited expression, he seemed to have something to say.

This appearance is beautiful and agile, which makes people unable to hold back.

Sheng Purin's calm and reserved manner, which had been deliberately maintained for more than half an hour, gradually showed signs of melting and disintegrating.

A faint smile couldn't help but rise from the corner of his mouth, he raised his eyes slightly, and wanted to say something, although he didn't think of the specific content yet.

At this moment, the person in front of him clenched his fist and spoke first:

"Sheng Jin, don't worry, I will protect you in the future! I will never let bad people hurt you!"

...?

Beside the door, Qiangzi and Achao, who were helping to carry the insulation box, were also dumbfounded when they heard these bold words, and quickly exchanged a flinching look that they only understood, and then quietly put the box down and slipped out.

Young Madam, it is so terrifying.

By the floor-to-ceiling windows, there is a gentle breeze.

When Sheng Lin heard this, the smile on his face also froze at the corner of his mouth defenselessly, he narrowed his black eyes after a moment of astonishment, and just now looked at the slender figure in front of him whose chest was heaving due to over-excitement.

This scene seems to summon up the courage to confess.

But what he said was full of a sense of disobedience.

Even though Sheng Jin seldom watched those romantic idol dramas, he also knew that words like protection were usually said by boys to girls.

It's just that the people in front of me are always weird, so it's normal to be so unreasonable.

Thinking in this way, a different emotion gradually lingered in Sheng Jin's heart, a smile climbed up his stern lips, his tone raised slightly, and he asked, "Then how are you going to protect me?"

"This..." Li Yuan was unprepared for the wild words, and was immediately stopped by the question.

But his little brain was bright, and after wandering around for a while, he came up with the answer: "It's like a prince protecting a princess!"

Soon he thought of something interesting again, and smiled cheerfully with his eyebrows and eyes bent: "You are the little princess in a pink lace princess dress, and I am the prince who fights off the dragon for you. Three-year-old little princess, don't you want to Are you looking for the prince?"

Immediately, he slightly pulled up the hem of his skirt and smiled, "Look! The prince is right in front of you!"

Sheng Lin was amused by his naughty and pretty appearance, looked up and down, and pursed his lips pretending to be serious: "Nonsense! How can there be a prince in a skirt?"

Hey, there are.

There was a hint of coolness in the bright eyes, Li Yuan didn't refute, but just smiled obediently.

At the same time, those dark eyes still flickered, as if they were talking with their eyes.

Sheng Lin suddenly felt his heart being scratched by a small brush, and finally he couldn't hold it anymore, he gently closed the book and stood up.

The tall and straight body instantly shrouded the slender girl in a tall shadow, and a dangerous sense of oppression rushed towards Li Yuan's face.

However, he didn't dodge it, instead, he took the initiative to meet him, raised his head slightly, and his eyes were pure and magnanimous.

Seeing his fearless appearance, Sheng Lin smiled again, and slightly suppressed the intimidating force of possessive desire that rose at that moment, and rubbed Li Yuan's head with his big palm twice viciously.

"You have a small body, thin arms and legs, and you will be blown away by the wind, how can you protect me?"

Li Yuan pouted, and was about to refute.

However, the person in front of him sighed helplessly and said, "Let me... protect you."

Huh?

Is this a love story?

Li Yuan jingled in his heart, finally feeling that the reserved and prudent old man had made a comeback.

Of course, it is still slightly inferior to his impassioned and bold speech.

Li Yuan didn't expect too much, and nodded with satisfaction: "Okay, then you protect first..."

However, before he finished speaking, the so-called reserved old man in front of him took a big stride, stepped forward to embrace him, and clasped the back of his neck tightly with his powerful palms.

Just like that, she bowed her head and kissed him.

Not even a hello.
