Chapter 563 - Chef’s Worries (2/2)

“Don’t you feel ashamed asking such a question?” When have you ever been diligent?”

Shen Ying: “…”

“Alright, when are we leaving?”

Shen Ying thought for a while before replying, “Tomorrow?”

So urgent? Sure enough, she was still concerned and attentive about it!

Lonemoon turned back and looked at Chef who seemed out of it, his eyes dimmed and he sighed. “Tomorrow it shall be then! Chef, come! We’ll go talk about the problem with our food allowance.” As he spoke, he put an arm around his shoulder and walked with him towards the kitchen.

Yi Qing lifted his head and glanced but him but did not talk and only walked into the kitchen, quietly pulled out ingredients and busied himself. His gaze was still slightly dazed, perhaps worried, but also seemed to be uncertain.

“Alright, alright, I know you don’t feel good inside when you see that person!” Lonemoon sighed and could not help but urge.

“…”

“But look at Shen Ying, she definitely has no interest in him.” He patted his shoulder and said, “Let me tell, it’s completely unnecessary for you to worry about these. Isn’t he just an ex boyfriend, it’s all in the past. As long as the one Shen Ying likes now is you, it’s all good.”

“Past?” The carrot in Chef’s hand dropped to the ground with a thud as he turned back to look towards him. “Master and him… still have a past!”

“Um…” Did he not know?

Lonemoon’s heart sank, had he screwed something up?

Late into the night.

“Chef…”

“Ma-ster.”

“Did I not close my windows tonight?”

“No.”

“Oh, then it’s because I wore too little clothes in the day?”

“No.”

“Could it be that you came up with a new dish today and want to let me try it?”

“It’s not.”

“Then it must be that Father Niu deducted our food allowance again?”

“He hasn’t.”

“Oh.” Shen Ying inhaled deeply before asking, “Then can you please explain, what do you mean by not going to bed and sitting on my roof in the middle of the night?”

Yi Qing hesitated for a moment, gradually lowering his head and only speaking up moments later, but his voice was so low that he almost couldn’t be heard, even vaguely coupled with grievance. “I was afraid of disrupting Master’s sleep, so… I decided to stay further away.”

“…” So you think that staring while lying on the roof, isn’t a disruption? He’d even climbed up there right in front of her!

Shen Ying sighed and gestured towards him. “Come down first.”

He moved reflexively, then something came to his mind and he sat back again and shook his head.

“I’ll just look at Master from here.”
