In the video, Gan Yanyu, dressed in a black tank top, squatted on the ground pointing at the gas cylinder in Lin Tian's house.
It seemed she knew Lin Tian was in class and worried about his phone not being on silent mode, the girl didn't speak but instead pointed at the gas cylinder.
Then she placed one hand on her chin, spread it out, and made a questioning expression....
"You little rascal!!!"
Xu Yong suddenly became excited.
He grabbed Lin Tian's arm, his eyes bloodshot and staring at Lin Tian,
"Who is this beauty? Why is she in your house??"
Lin Tian choked up for a moment.
He really hadn't expected Gan Yanyu to send a message at this time.
No, what is she planning to do with my gas stove??
She isn't planning to commit suicide in the kitchen, is she?!
Lin Tian grew increasingly terrified.
Given Gan Yanyu's mental state, it really wasn't impossible!
This morning, she had made plans with a smile on her surface, but she had already plotted to die in his house the moment he left home.
You little jerk, won't let me jump off a building, huh!
Die in your house, die in your house, die in your house.
Wait until tomorrow, and you'll be the one wanting to jump off a building!
.....Such a malicious plan!!
"Not that! You motherf*cker, speak up... you speak up...."
Seeing Lin Tian motionless, Xu Yong became frantic!
He was so frantic he was jumping around, almost crying!!
"Please, bro, explain this to me! Bro, I'll believe whatever you say...."
"Will you be quiet."
Lin Tian impatiently shrugged off Xu Yong's hands, he himself was annoyed,
"It's nothing, just the granddaughter of the old man from downstairs, who took a bath at my place last night, had some drinks, and slept over, that's all."
"???"
Lin Tian had no time to deal with Xu Yong but quickly sent a message:
[What are you doing with the gas?]
[Cooking a couple of dishes.]
[Really?]
[Really.]
Gan Yanyu continued:
[Actually, I wanted to cook dinner for you tonight, just practicing a bit.]
Hearing this, Lin Tian finally calmed down.
Because this was really something Gan Yanyu would do.
[Didn't you suggest we go out for dinner?]
[It's more heartfelt if I cook it myself.]
[I can't tonight, I have a part-time job this evening and won't have time to go home. Let's eat out after all.] Lin Tian replied.
This was a job Lin Tian had gone to great lengths to get, and he had to go to it.
After all, Lin Tian hadn't had any income for a week.
Especially since yesterday, he spent a few hundred at Foot Washing City while looking for partners, and if he didn't go to work soon, he might have trouble affording next week's food.
If it really came down to it, Lin Tian could work for a couple of hours and then ask Xu Yong to cover for him, leaving early wouldn't hinder meeting Gan Yanyu for dinner.
[Alright.]
After a while, Gan Yanyu sent these two words.
Since it was text without any emoticons, Lin Tian couldn't guess her mood.
But just in case, he still sent another message,
[The place where I work is on the shopping street opposite the school, near Jiefang Road subway station, a tea restaurant. If you're bored, you can come early to this shopping street and wait for me.]
[Okay.]
Putting down his phone, Lin Tian took a deep breath.
Turning his head, he saw Xu Yong, who had turned into King Jiji, completely red-faced.
"Ah, I get it!"
Xu Yong adjusted his glasses and held up his index finger,
"This girl looks so young, she must be someone you met at Foot Washing City with the 699 'Nostalgic Young Love Memories - High School Uniform VIP Massage' package! I must say, she really does look like a schoolgirl!"
"You actually know about that package."
Lin Tian was startled; this guy knew it better than he himself did.
"It's really not that, she is from our school, just in class B next door, she's just been taking leave these days, and I've just met her."
"You're full of it, I know exactly which color underwear each beauty in our school wears, I've never seen her!!"
"She just got back to the country."
"Turns out she's a foreign girl... you goddamn deserve to die!"
Once abroad, considered a foreign girl, then me slipping a couple of bucks to dive into your mom's bed makes me a Happy Superman.
"Xu Yong!"
Just at this moment, the math teacher tapped on the blackboard.
Xu Yong shuddered all over.
"Here!!"
He hurriedly stood up.
"What are you talking about that's so amusing."
The teacher adjusted his glasses,
"Come solve this inequality..."
In an instant, Xu Yong's world came crashing down.
...
...
Meanwhile, at Lin Tian's house.
After putting away her phone, Gan Yanyu squatted on the floor, staring blankly at the kitchen.
He's not coming back...
It's really not easy, living alone and having to work to support oneself.
Doesn't he have a mom and dad?
Looking around Lin Tian's place, the kitchen table and countertops smeared with grease, the dust under the TV stand, everywhere revealed the marks of neglect.
Though it looked worn and old, the things inside were arranged quite tidily; for someone living alone, that was already very commendable.
Gan Yanyu felt a touch of emotion.
How long has he been living this way by himself?
He's a lonely person too...
With that thought, Gan Yanyu stood up.
Anyway, her own life no longer had meaning.
Might as well do some things for Lin Tian before the end.
She put on gloves and a mask, wrapped herself in an apron, and opened the doors and windows.
Time for a major cleaning!
The girl fetched a broom from the bathroom and swept every nook and cranny of the house.
Not even sparing the dust under the sofa and table!
After mopping everywhere, she took out a cloth and wiped down the doors, windows, and cupboards.
Back when she lived with grandpa, she was the one who did all the household chores.
So, for her, this was all a piece of cake!
Although she cleaned with such attention to detail, Gan Yanyu deliberately ignored two areas.
The first was Lin Tian's room.
She didn't enter.
Despite her great curiosity about what Lin Tian's room looked like... she knew that the room of a teenage boy is not something you can just barge into.
What if she found some colorful magazines while cleaning?
It would be too embarrassing.
So Gan Yanyu closed the door.
The second area was regarding the placement of items.
After Gan Yanyu finished cleaning, she put everything back in its original place.
Gan Yanyu knew that for many guys, there's no need to keep things too tidy.
Sometimes, even though things seemed to be placed haphazardly, they actually have a system, knowing exactly where everything is, and can find them instantly when needed.
Randomly organizing without permission might make it difficult for him to find things, causing even bigger troubles...
All these principles were taught to her by grandpa.
Two hours later.
Looking at the transformed, clean and tidy house, Gan Yanyu stood with hands on hips, a satisfied smile on her face.
Lin Tian would definitely be shocked when he got home!
Gan Yanyu glanced at the time, it was now 12 noon.
There was still an entire afternoon ahead.
At that moment, the girl suddenly remembered something.
The tea restaurant Lin Tian mentioned, she seemed to recall it, as that business street had only one tea restaurant.
She took out her phone to check the map, confirmed it after searching, and the girl bit her finger, falling into deep thought.
When she helped out at her grandpa's coffee shop, grandpa was responsible for making coffee, and she took care of cooking some snacks. Although her cooking was not the best, when it comes to desserts, Gan Yanyu was quite skilled.
Since there's no time for a meal.
How about she makes a dessert and brings it over to him?
