"I just feel like it's a bit impolite to borrow your money for shopping and then go to your place for a meal."
"Heh..." Su Xun let out a helpless yet indulgent chuckle, "You didn't seem to mind when I was in such a mess earlier. There's no need to be too formal between neighbors, after all, we'll be living next to each other for a long time."
Ah? For a lifetime?
Liyan was taken aback for a moment, realizing that he was indeed thinking long-term.
But since he had already put it that way, it would be a bit rude to refuse now.
Moreover, the temptation of the delicious food was just too great.
Blinking rapidly, Liyan quickly nodded, "Then I'll join you."
Su Xun's home was decorated in a dreamy, milky white European pastoral style, giving it a very feminine touch.
Chewing on her chopsticks, Liyan secretly drummed up some thoughts in her head, "Xiao Liuzi, do you think a grown man who likes this style and is also a good cook might be... gay?"
【Fool, serves you right to be a lifelong single dog.】Number 666 grumbled in frustration, 【Maybe he's just trying to please his girlfriend?】
"Are you saying he has a girlfriend?" Liyan's eyes widened in sudden realization, "Ugh, why are good men either gay or taken these days?"
【Go away! Go away! Roll away!】Number 666 was so exasperated it almost wanted to roll its eyes.
Unable to reveal any information according to the rules, it could only fret silently.
"What are you thinking about? Is it not to your taste?" Su Xun noticed Liyan seemed lost in thought and placed a piece of braised pork rib into her bowl. "Try it and let me know if there's anything wrong, I can make improvements next time."
All the dishes on the table were Liyan's favorites. Su Xun had eavesdropped for years and only learned a few of her preferences.
He was confident about his cooking skills, but when it came to the girl he loved, he always wanted to do even better.
"No, I just think your home is really beautifully decorated," Liyan snapped back to reality and quickly took a bite of the braised pork rib.
The meat was tender and the soft bones were perfectly cooked, making her eyes widen in delight.
"Wow, it's so delicious!" Liyan's eyes narrowed with satisfaction, "Your girlfriend must be really lucky."
In the span of a second, Su Xun went from feeling praised to feeling like he was in an ice cellar.
"I don't have a girlfriend." Su Xun said a bit too eagerly.
Before the words were out, he noticed Liyan looking at him suspiciously. He cleared his throat and tried to calm his emotions.
Then he put on a gentle smile again.
"Let me introduce myself. I'm Su Xun, 23 years old, single, and I run a few small businesses."
His serious demeanor made Liyan sit up straighter, "I'm Liyan, 21 years old, in my senior year with graduation in a month. Uh... I'm currently not working."
In reality, she wasn't entirely unemployed; she had some fame online for her illustrations, comics, and fan-related work.
Otherwise, she wouldn't have been able to move out from her parents' control.
But since he was just a neighbor, there was no need to go into too much detail.
Su Xun lowered his gaze to hide the fleeting disappointment in his eyes.
