Chapter 125 - Cooking (2/2)

Su Ying covered her mouth: “Can we go and take a look at where they stay? I think there will be a lot of clues.”

Su Min said: “We need to find a chance first.”

Because it would be a bad end for them if they were discovered, they needed to plan things properly whilst taking into consideration things like the time, route etc.

Xia He Yin suggested: “What about during mealtimes?”

Qin Mu Yin said: “Lunch is no good. With it being so bright out, there are no places to hide. I think it’s better doing it at night. As the saying goes, the night hides all. Look at thieves. They always act at night.”

The two fell into discussion again.

Su Min: “……….”

This scene was a little familiar. Not long ago, they were arguing. Seems like this pair of male and female protagonist reconcile very quickly.

Su Min interrupted the two, “Night it is then. It’s too dangerous during the day so we’ll do it at night.”

Qin Mu Yin nodded: “Now there’s another question ——— Who can make lunch?”

The four of them looked at each other.

Su Min sighed quietly, “If you’re not worried about the taste, I can do it.”

Xia He Yin was doubtful: “You can?”

Qin Mu Yin was also a little hesitant, “Why don’t we eat what they make?”

Su Min shrugged, “That’s why I said if you’re not worried about the taste, I can do it. If you are, then I won’t.”

The two fell in thought for a moment.

Xia He Yin made her final decision: “You should do it. We’ll help you out.”

The captain’s food was a little unsafe. Congee was the only thing that was acceptable. They didn’t know what could have been added into the other foods.

Su Min nodded, “Okay.”

In fact, it was almost time for it now. After the several hours of storm and the time spend searching around, it was almost noon now.

They didn’t have a phone with them, so they weren’t too clear on the exact time.

After Su Min went upstairs, he went straight to the kitchen. The captain was inside humming while cutting up vegetables.

Seeing him, he asked: “What’s up?”

Su Min said: “I want to make something today.”

The captain thought for a moment, “Okay, but you’ll have to wait until I finish making this first.”

He had just finished cutting them up. He poured them into the pan and splashed some oil onto it.

Su Min watched his actions. From the beginning until the dish is served onto a plate, nothing looked unusual. Everything was normal.

Perhaps he had been traumatised too severely from his past experiences.

The captain took the dish out and said: “All done. You can use it now. If you need something, just let me know. Don’t mess with the other things here, it’ll make things difficult for me later.”

Su Min answered obediently: “Okay.”

After waiting for him to leave the kitchen, Su Min began to look around the kitchen. It was rather messy and small; just enough for one person. Any more than that and it would be too crowded.

All the ingredients were on the floor, including canned food.

Su Min examined a few of them and found a few that looked okay. He got ready to make a few simple dishes.

These ingredients had been there for a while, so they weren’t very fresh.

Su Min actually didn’t know how to cook and only remembered watching Li Wenxin’s actions.

At first, Li Wenxin had intended on turning the dormitory into an apartment. He brought along with him an induction cooker, soy sauce and even vinegar but they were confiscated less than a month later.

During that month, Su Min had the chance to try his food every day.

Qin Mu Yin and Xia He Yin stood outside the door, “This kitchen is too small so I won’t go in. Good luck Su Min.”

Xia He Yin added soon afterwards, “I’ll do it next time. Although my skills aren’t good, it should be edible.”

As they spoke, Su Min had already started cooking.

After a plate of scrambled eggs and tomato, Su Min pulled out a few more vegetables to wash. When he turned around, he saw Chen Su standing there eating.

The two were too preoccupied chatting as they stood at the door, so they were completely unaware of his presence.

Chen Su chucked, “They can’t see me.”

Su Min didn’t speak. He walked over and closed the door, “You can keep watch outside. I’ll close the door.”

“Why are you clo…….”

The rest of the words were blocked by the door. There was only silence left.

When Su Min turned back around, he found himself enveloped by Chen Su. He wrapped his hands around his wrists and then changed into holding his hands, “I missed you so much.”

He nuzzled against Su Min’s shoulder.

Because Su Min wasn’t sleeping alone and because he couldn’t do anything in front of Su Min’s sister, he couldn’t do anything for the past two days.

Su Min’s ears were itchy. He turned his head away and said: “I still have to cook.”

Chen Su said: “I want to eat too.”

“If you want to eat, then eat.” Although Su Min agreed, he also wondered: “Can a ghost like you taste anything?”

Cold breath blew onto his earlobe. Chen Su’s voice was low, “Am I the first to eat your food?”

Su Min nodded.

Afterall, this was his first-time cooking and even he himself had not taken a bite. Chen Su was indeed the first person, and also the first ghost.

Chen Su released his hold of him. Su Min walked over to the table and smelled it carefully. It smelt quite fragrant.

He was a little proud. He picked up a piece with his chopsticks, “Here you go.”

Chen Su held his hand. His eyes trembled slightly as he asked in a low voice: “Are you feeding me?”

Su Min blinked, “Yeah, feeding you.”

He waved his chopsticks. His other hand rubbed the back of Chen Su’s hand as he urged: “Open your mouth.”
