Yue Linze fell silent, and after a long time, calmly said, “He’s my only friend.”
“…” What a big shot, how miserable in real life, Tao Yu deeply sympathized.
Yue Linze seemed not to care about this, looking at Tao Yu with anticipation: “I woke up at six to prepare. These are somewhat presentable. Try them and see if they suit your taste.”
The spiritual world was different from reality. Even though he had memories from there and knew the cooking steps, actually implementing them was difficult, and he had struggled to make something that looked edible.
Under his expectant gaze, Tao Yu couldn’t refuse. She reluctantly picked up her chopsticks, stabbed the fried egg, and took a bite. Her expression became complex as she looked at him.
“What’s wrong?” Yue Linze remained calm on the surface, but his fingers gripping the fork began to exert pressure.
Tao Yu sighed, “No salt.”
“…” Making the same mistake twice was something he had only done this once in his life.
Seeing Yue Linze’s silence, Tao Yu thought for a moment and comforted him, “But it’s okay. I prefer bland food, so this is not bad.”
“It’s my first time cooking, so the taste might not be great, but it’ll get better,” Yue Linze said calmly. Although various alternate personalities had cooked for her before, this body in reality had never done so, so he could deny this matter without burden.
Tao Yu forced a smile and lowered her head to eat. The food was truly not delicious, but if she didn’t pretend to be busy eating, he would probably keep talking to her. Thanks to her efforts, she finished everything on the plate with barely any conversation.
“Looks like my cooking skills aren’t bad,” Yue Linze said with a smile.
Tao Yu gave him a subtle look and didn’t refute. Just as Yue Linze was about to say more, the housekeeper hurriedly came in, whispered something in his ear, and the smile on Yue Linze’s face faded: “There’s something at the company, I’ll go out for a bit.”
“…Okay,” Tao Yu quickly stood up, followed him out a few steps, then stopped, watching his gradually disappearing figure and finally sighed.
