"Alright! Your task is complete! Leave the rest to me!"
After Xiaolan saw that Lin Yi had finished processing the ingredients, she couldn't wait to push him out of the kitchen, pressed him onto the sofa, and told him to sit down and stay put!
She said with a smile, "Just stay here obediently and look forward to my dinner!"
After saying that, she trotted back to the kitchen and carefully prepared dinner.
Since Lin Yi wanted to eat dinner first and then eat Xiaolan.
Naturally, he had to do more.
Having the atmosphere of home was not enough to guarantee that he could push Xiaolan down; he had to create another kind of atmosphere—an ambiguous atmosphere!
This would increase the success rate of pushing Xiaolan down!
"That's right… I remember last time I brought back a lot of good stuff from the store…"
Lin Yi "suddenly" remembered something and stood up from the sofa.
"What good stuff?" Xiao Lan asked curiously while cooking.
"That's a secret, you'll know in a moment." Lin Yi smiled at her, then walked towards the storage room.
Lin Yi's mystique successfully piqued Xiao Lan's curiosity.
Because he had brought her so many surprises, Xiao Lan couldn't help but anticipate what surprise Lin Yi would bring her this time.
When Lin Yi reappeared, he was actually carrying a folding screen.
Xiao Lan stared at him curiously, not quite understanding what he was going to do: "What are you doing with a screen?"
Lin Yi smiled without saying a word, carrying his mystique through to the end.
He placed the screen in front of Xiao Lan, then unfolded it, revealing four paintings of plum blossoms, orchids, bamboo, and chrysanthemums.
Looking at the four paintings of plum blossoms, orchids, bamboo, and chrysanthemums, Xiao Lan was a little confused, only watching Lin Yi retrace his steps back to the living room.
She could only hear sounds coming from the living room, but Xiao Lan's view was blocked by the screen, and she couldn't see anything, not knowing what Lin Yi was up to.
Xiao Lan then realized that the purpose of this screen was to prevent her from seeing the changes in the living room.
"What's going on... so mysterious." Xiao Lan muttered, but it wasn't hard to see from her expression that she was actually very happy.
Unable to see what the living room looked like, Xiao Lan could only see the part that the screen couldn't block, Lin Yi walking back and forth.
However, every time he passed by here, he would tightly cover the things in his hands, not letting Xiao Lan see.
This further increased Xiao Lan's curiosity.
While enduring this curiosity, Xiao Lan's dishes were also completed one by one.
Lin Yi bypassed the screen again and appeared in the kitchen, he said mysteriously: "You stand here and don't come out... I'll finish the rest."
Lin Yi quickly took away the completed dishes.
With a curious heart, Xiao Lan untied her apron and washed her hands.
Lin Yi reappeared in the kitchen, smiling and saying: "Close your eyes... you can't open your eyes without my permission."
"It's just a normal dinner, does it have to be so mysterious?" Although Xiao Lan muttered, her body cooperated very well, closing her eyes as soon as she was told to.
Lin Yi took her hands, slowly led her out of the kitchen, bypassed the screen, and finally sat down on a chair.
"Don't rush to open your eyes..." Xiao Lan heard Lin Yi gently instructing her in her ear, his breath so close that she trembled inexplicably.
After that, he left.
Then there was a 'click' sound.
At this point, Xiao Lan already understood what Lin Yi was going to do, and what surprise he wanted to give her.
If there were no accidents, Lin Yi's mysterious gift should be a candlelight dinner!
Otherwise, the lights are off, and without other light sources, it would be impossible to have dinner.
However, what was strange was.
Xiao Lan clearly already knew what kind of scene she was about to face, but her heart was still beating faster, and her body couldn't help but tense up, even if she tried her best to purse the corners of her mouth, she couldn't completely hide her smile.
Clearly knowing what was going to happen, yet always looking forward to it happening!
Women, they can't resist romance in this lifetime, they can't refuse romance!
"Okay, you can open your eyes now."
With Lin Yi's permission, Xiao Lan slowly opened her eyes.
In the blurred vision, candlelight flickered.
Just seeing this made Xiao Lan overjoyed.
Her dishes were placed on the table, along with a glass of wine.
Lin Yi gently pressed something on his phone, and a soft lyrical song slowly filled the room.
"I think... you should have already guessed it."
The flickering candlelight illuminated Lin Yi's face, making his already handsome face even more mysterious.
Xiao Lan looked at him, and her mood couldn't help but ripple.
Candlelight dinners are not out of reach for people in modern society.
What touched Xiao Lan's heart was not the candlelight dinner.
But the process of Lin Yi carefully preparing the candlelight dinner for her!
She could clearly receive his care and sincerity!
"This... this is just a normal dinner, isn't this too exaggerated?" Xiao Lan put her hands on her knees, feeling a little nervous and at a loss.
"This is my first meal with you... naturally, I have to be more careful." Lin Yi picked up the wine glass and said, "Thank you for preparing dinner for me."
"No... you're welcome."
Xiao Lan nervously picked up the wine glass.
