Married? I Have Amnesia, Don't Lie To Me

Chapter 4 - Boiled Ginger Cola For Song Linsheng

Due to the company being acquired, apart from HR meetings, there wasn't much else to do. So, Shi Nan got off work earlier than usual. On his way home, passing by the rented parking space, he noticed that Song Linsheng's car wasn't there, indicating that he hadn't returned home yet.

Shi Nan thought that since they got married, Song Linsheng had always been the one cooking for him, and he realized he hadn't cooked a meal for him yet. So, he decided to surprise Song Linsheng today.

After returning home, Shi Nan went to the bathroom to grab a handful of hair, then started a live stream to cook for the viewers.

T/n: This is probably he took a wig in the bathroom.

"Hi there, today I'm going to live stream cooking dinner for you all." Shi Nan smiled at the camera. "Maybe you haven't seen me cook before, so today I'll show you."

After greeting his viewers, Shi Nan began to focus on cooking.

Just because he didn't usually cook didn't mean he couldn't cook. Of course, being able to cook didn't guarantee the food would be delicious.

To avoid any disasters, Shi Nan chose the two simplest dishes: tomato scrambled eggs, and cola chicken wings.

-- Hahaha, the two simplest dishes.

-- Do you even need any cooking skills for these?

-- Ah ah ah, brother looks so handsome, his profile is just perfect.

-- His waist is so slim, legs so long, and that apron... I'm getting a nosebleed.

...

While cooking, Shi Nan occasionally said a few words to the camera. Surprisingly, there were over a hundred thousand viewers.

After finishing cooking, Shi Nan bid farewell to the camera and ended the live stream.

"What are you doing?" When he suddenly heard a familiar voice behind him, Shinan was startled, shivering a bit. Then, propping himself against the kitchen counter, he turned around and breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing Song Linsheng. "You scared me to death, buddy. People can really give others a good scare, huh?"

"Hmm?" Song Linsheng frowned. "Didn't you hear me open the door?"

Shi Nan covered his chest and waved his hand: "I was too focused."

Shi Nan looked at his watch. It was 6:45.

Song Linsheng glanced behind Shi Nan and then fell silent.

The kitchen was in a mess, with pots and pans cluttering the countertops, cracked eggshells thrown directly onto the cutting board, and mysterious stains on the floor. Overall, it was a chaotic scene.

Seeing Song Linsheng's expression, Shi Nan instantly became alert.

"I'll clean up later." Shi Nan coughed twice, trying to justify himself. "Cooking is always like this, it's normal, perfectly normal."

Song Linsheng didn't say much, just helped to bring the food out.

While eating, Song Linsheng asked about Shi Nan's company being acquired. Shi Nan glanced at him and said: "I thought your phone couldn't receive messages."

Song Linsheng fell silent for a moment before saying: "Sorry, I couldn't really look at my phone during the day."

"What kind of company doesn't allow you to look at your phone?" Shi Nan didn't believe it at all.

Song Linsheng didn't say anything.

The atmosphere between the two became somewhat tense, and the previous topic seemed to have drifted away.

After a while, Shi Nan felt it wasn't worth it to let such a small matter affect them, so he adjusted himself and occasionally glanced at Song Linsheng. After a few times, Song Linsheng met his gaze directly and asked: "What's wrong?"

"Nothing." Shi Nan lowered his head to eat, but after a few bites, he couldn't help but lift his head again, intending to speak up.

"It's delicious," Song Linsheng suddenly said.

Shi Nan: "...Huh..." (Shi Nan's expression froze.)

This person isn't as clueless as he seemed.

"It's quite delicious," Song Linsheng added, putting a chicken wing into Shi Nan's bowl, "but don't cook again in the future."

"Why?"

"What do you think?" Song Linsheng asked back.

Shi Nan pursed his lips. Damn it, he's being criticized again..

After dinner, Song Linsheng went to clean up the kitchen, while Shi Nan made two cups of honey pomelo tea to relieve the greasiness and sat on the sofa waiting.

He also found a movie to watch together, intending to have a heart-to-heart talk and get to know each other better.

Just as Shi Nan was about to invite Song Linsheng over, he heard Song Linsheng say: "I have a headache. I'll go rest first."

"A headache?" Shi Nan jumped off the sofa and went to Song Linsheng, trying to feel his forehead.

Song Linsheng tensed up.

Shi Nan's hand was warm, carrying the faint fragrance of pomelo.

"Doesn't seem like a fever, but you feel cold?" Shinan observed Song Linsheng's complexion. "Why are your lips so pale? Should I take you to the hospital?"

As Shinan spoke, he was about to turn around to fetch the car keys when Song Linsheng grabbed his arm.

"It's okay, I might be catching a cold, just feeling a bit chilly. I'll be fine after a nap."

Shi Nan hesitated: "Then... okay, you go rest first. If there's anything, just call me."

"Okay."

Song Linsheng went back to his room, and Shi Nan thought for a moment before going to the kitchen to cook a boiled ginger cola for him.

While boiling the soup, Shi Nan blamed himself. It was probably because Song Linsheng had been too tired recently.

Just think about it, originally living a good life alone, but now, in addition to work, he had to cook, do laundry, mop the floor, and serve another person at home. It's not surprising he's exhausted.

Shi Nan carried the boiled ginger cola and lightly knocked on Song Linsheng's door. There was no response from inside.

Worried that something might be wrong, Shi Nan pushed open the door and walked in.

There was a small night light on in the room. Song Linsheng was buried under the blanket, and the beads of sweat on his forehead were visible even from the doorway.

As Shi Nan approached to wipe his sweat, Song Linsheng suddenly grabbed Shi Nan's wrist with a grip so strong that Shi Nan yelled, "It's me, it's me, it's me!"
