Lin Yu Tong gradually got used to getting up early and wouldn’t be as sleepy as in the beginning where he would even hit the doorframe. While Zhan Yi Fei like many mornings, came out from the master bedroom due to the scent of food that had wafted in, then stood at the kitchen door watching the busy Lin Yu Tong, “Xiao Tong, what are we eating today?”

Lin Yu Tong used a spoon to stir the pot, and casually said: “Wonton(1).”

Zhan Yi Fei looked at the kneading board that hadn’t been cleaned up yet and saw some dried flour, then couldn’t help asking: “Have you wrapped it?”

Lin Yu Tong turned his head and answered: “Yes, the weather is getting colder, so eating some hot soup in the morning will comfort and nourish the stomach. Go and wash up first, then you can eat right away.”

Zhan Yi Fei watched him again for a while, before going to the bathroom.

Lin Yu Tong saw the dumplings were almost cooked and began to served them into bowls, first he placed five pieces into the left bowl, then five pieces into right bowl, then another five piece into the left bowl, he did it this way from left to right, until the two bowls had thirty pieces each, while inside the pot only three pieces were still left. Then like a thief he glanced at the direction of the bathroom and as swift as a clap of thunder(2) placed the last three dumplings into his own bowl.

When Zhan Yi Fei came out, he didn’t feel anything out of the ordinary, he just felt that the wonton smelled even more fragrant and couldn’t help but feel his mouth water. At this time Lin Yu Tong’s cell phone rang inside the bedroom, so Ling Yu Tong patted his hands dry and went into the bedroom. Zhan Yi Fei seeing this, like the demons and gods at work(3) went into the kitchen, and couldn’t help secretly scooping up a dumpling and putting it in his mouth!

Then Lin Yu Tong suddenly came out! He suspiciously asked: “Yi Fei, what are you doing?”

Zhan Yi Fei who still had a dumpling in his mouth covered his mouth with his hands, the dumpling that had just finished cooking was still very hot, so he could neither chew nor swallow, and felt that he could die from embarrassment, not knowing that a small skin of the dumpling could still be seen!

Lin Yu Tong made a "pfft!" sound, “I said eat then eat, why feel guilty?”

Zhan Yi Fei’s ears turned red, and felt his face burn, but ate it all anyway, until he couldn’t spit it out anymore, then this time with determination, he picked up the two-wonton bowls and put them on the dining table, and ate until he was stuffed.

Blame it on Lin Yu Tong for making it so delicious, the wonton was thinly rolled and was wrapped around a filling of meat and vegetable paste mixture, plus it was served in a bowl of thick bone soup, and on top it seasoned with cilantro and shredded seaweed. The wontons were cooked one by one until they were all bright and transparent, and taking a bite, it tasted smooth and delicious!

After a while Zhan Yi Fei finished eating the whole bowl of dumplings but felt that it wasn’t enough, then he vaguely remembered that there were no more inside the pot, so he couldn’t ask for more.

On the other hand, don’t talk about how painfully full Lin Yu Tong was feeling right now, because he had at first thought that he could eat a lot, but it turned out that he was just greedy, and couldn’t really eat that much at all! Looking at Zhan Yi Fei he could see that he hadn’t eaten enough, but if he threw away the rest, wasn’t this destroying the stability and unity of their life?!
