Chapter 8 (1/2)

Early in the morning, the sky shone indistinctly and large waves of mist wafted through the air. The distant sky was yellow with faint accents of red, appearing somewhat like the smear of an oil color.

However, one side was still sky blue, equal to the beauty of a sapphire. It appeared to be the scenery of an ascending immortal.

Yan Tian lazily opened his eyes and looked at the time. It was 5:10. Turning his head towards the window, the sky was as peaceful as the face of a mirror, as if it could illuminate the entire earth. From time to time, birds flew across the sky in graceful arcs.

”Meng'er, where are you? Are you well? I really miss you.” Yan Tian looked outside the window and said in a daze.

Yan Tian took out the company suit that was prepared for him yesterday and looked it over. He then took out the pure white s.h.i.+rt and put it on, ”The size is just right. From today onwards, I'll be a bodyguard.” Yan Tian looked at the clothes on his body and was quite satisfied.

Yan Tian had barely used a minute to complete what other people would waste tens of minutes on to such the extent that it would take several tens of minutes for them to finish was.h.i.+ng up. He then looked at the time.

Discovering it was still early, Yan Tian thought of the beautiful Sun Yue, reckoning she was still sleeping, snoring sound asleep. Thinking of this, Yan Tian then walked into the kitchen to prepare breakfast for himself. Needless to say, his culinary talent was pretty good.

It was just that when he opened the refrigerator to take a look within, there was nothing left inside to eat. Sun Yue hadn't gone out to buy more food to eat before Yan Tian had left, since she did not feel like it. The food that Sun Yue had prepared yesterday was nothing more than just a bit of sustenance. How many days had pa.s.sed without there being anything to eat in the refrigerator? There were only about four or five bottles of ice-cold beer.

”Looks like I'll have to go out and buy some things, otherwise, what's gonna happen if that pretty girl gets hungry?” Yan Tian looked at Sun Yue's room door and said to himself aloud.

At daybreak, there was no one out on the street. In the far distance you could only see the early errand-running grandpas and grannies. At this time, many young people were still snoring in their sleep.

Yan Tian prepared to go the local food market to buy some things. He knew that at this time the vegetables ordered at the market would be at their freshest. Thinking of this, he soon moved towards the food market.

”Auntie, how much are are you selling these veggies for?” Yan Tian looked at the food market's fresh produce and asked the auntie.

”Young man, the young people of today are all pretty lazy, but it looks like you're rather hard working. One catty is ¥2.20.” The auntie tidied up the vegetables while beaming at Yan Tian warmly.

”I would be sleeping too if I didn't have to go out and buy food. Could you pick the vegetables for me?” Yan Tian said somewhat embarra.s.singly.

”Good. Not bad, young man.” The auntie still smiled towards Yan Tian and helped him choose vegetables.

The auntie put the vegetables on the scale and weighed it, ”Altogether it's ¥2.30. Young man, gimme two and it'll be OK.” The auntie said, then grabbed a bag and handed it over to Yan Tian.

”Thank you, auntie, you can't be so easy-going. I could've given you less.” Yan Tian said, then took out ¥2.50 and put it on top of the table. Not waiting for the auntie to speak, he then turned around and left.

The auntie watched Yan Tian put the money on the table and laughed. Looking towards Yan Tian's leaving silhouette, she said aloud: ”If my daughter was still around, you would be great……”

Yan Tian carried the vegetables in his hand and strolled around the other market stalls, buying some vegetables and millet, then returning home.

After he came home, Yan Tian then softly walked to the kitchen, preparing to make a sumptuous breakfast.

Twenty minutes later, Yan Tian cooked his breakfast, using plate to set his delicious food on the dining table.

”Oh, when did you get up? You even made breakfast?” Sun Yue happened to come out of her bedroom with her eyes bleary, looking at the delicious food on the table. Doubt was clear across her face.

”I did. I woke up early. Quickly wash up and eat. I called you to taste my work.” Yan Tian looked at Sun Yue in the doorway quite pleased with himself.

”Oh!” Sun Yue said, then went to wash up.

Yan Tian walked into the kitchen and took out two bowls to hold his simmering congee to serve on the table.

With everything prepared, as soon as Sun Yue came out they could eat. Yan Tian patiently looked at the scenery outside the window while waiting for Sun Yue.

However, after Yan Tian had waited for ten minutes, he couldn't wait anymore. It had to be known it only took him nothing more than several tens of seconds to wash up. Yan Tian thought to himself that women were really quite troublesome.

”Hey, can you speed it up? I'm gonna starve to death soon.” Yan Tian looked at the fine food and rushed Sun Yue.

”Alright, alright, I'm coming!” Sun Yue said, then walked over.

”Big Sis, do you know how slowly you wash your face? Sixteen minutes!”

”Oh my, this can be considered fast. A lot of people in comparison are still slower.” Sun Yue looked at the food Yan Tian made and licked her lips.
