in Refuses to Become a Regular - Chapter 6
Xue Yingshuang stepped forward quickly, grabbed the bowl from Xing Yun’s hand, and said, “Why did you just eat it like this!”
After being caught by Xue Yingshuang, Xing Yun had never been so embarrassed in his life. He instantly became angry and his face flushed. What’s wrong with just eating it after taking it… How can taking this food be considered theft?……
However, before he could respond, Xue Yingshuang kept speaking: “Don’t you think there is something missing?”
Xue Yingshuang poured the bowl of porridge back into the pot, turned on the stove, then opened the refrigerator and took out a few keep-fresh boxes. Xue Yingshuang said while doing this: “The seafood hasn’t been put on it, how can it taste delicious? You wait a little, it will be ready soon.”
Xing Yun was taken aback. He thought Xue Yingshuang was trying to mock him with the porridge just now, he didn’t expect that Xue Yingshuang just wanted to help him add more ingredients. Xing Yun stood next to him, and saw him neatly throwing fresh fish, shrimp and shellfish into the pot in order while saying: “Seafood can’t be cooked for too long, otherwise it will get old. The big ones are cooked first, the small ones are cooked quickly, and the other ones are cooked later.”
There was endless chatter as Xue Yingshuang talked, but Xing Yun was listening quietly.
“You have to keep stirring, otherwise the base will get mushy, and the porridge will be ruined as soon as it gets mushy.” Xue Yingshuang said, “Can you drink it? Prawn sauce is also added to the base of this porridge. I boiled the shrimp oil in the middle of the night yesterday. I boiled a lot, and we can add it to the noodles in the future.”
After a while, Xue Yingshuang reached out to turn off the stove. The small pot was steaming hot, exuding bursts of aroma. He scooped a full bowl, added a few drops of sesame oil, and then sprinkled some pepper.
“There you go.”
Xing Yun stretched out his hand to pick it up, but Xue Yingshuang held the bowl and said, “It’s hot, hot, hot, you go and sit at the dining table, I’ll bring it to you.”
Xing Yun sat down as he was told. As he sat down, the bowl was placed in front of him.
The porridge that had just come out of the pot was so hot that it tasted even better than the one that had just been eaten, and Xing Yun ate it with incomparable comfort.
In the past, he always ate slowly and didn’t eat much, but in the face of this bowl of porridge, he ate most of the bowl within two bites.
While eating, he suddenly heard Xue Yingshuang ask: “Can you still eat? Want more?”
Only then did Xing Yun look up, and the next second a big soup ladle appeared in front of him, and with a “plop” another spoonful of porridge was added to his bowl. Xue Yingshuang moved too fast, Xing Yun almost couldn’t dodge, and a spoonful of porridge was almost dropped on his head.
“There is only this last spoonful left by the way, eat it and that’s it.”
Xing Yun was stunned at this time. It was the first time that someone had added food to his bowl while he was halfway done since he’d grown up.
However, Xue Yingshuang had already gone back to wash the pot, Xing Yun’s mouth opened, but in the end he couldn’t say a word, he could only continue to bow his head and eat porridge.
The two of them didn’t talk anymore, there was only the sound of water as Xue Yingshuang cleaned up. The air conditioning blows in the room making it slightly cooler on this summer night, with the warm yellow light, the kitchen is extraordinarily peaceful.
Xing Yun’s anxiety over the past two days gradually subsided. He thought to himself that this guy was good at cooking, and he got up in the middle of the night to make porridge, which was also considered thoughtful.
It’s just that it’s not one of the job requirements in the contract. Why is he being so nice to me?
Could it be…
Xing Yun raised his head, just in time to meet Xue Yingshuang’s beautiful peach blossom eyes.
Xue Yingshuang looked at him quietly, as if he had something to say. Xing Yun looked back at Xue Yingshuang, his heart beating faster unconsciously.
Xue Yingshuang saw Xue Ying’s eyes wonder, looked at the clock, and said, “It’s one o’clock, I’m going to get off work. Soak the bowl after you finish eating, I will wash it tomorrow.”
Xing Yun: ”……”
The warmth just now disappeared, and Xing Yun didn’t know what he was expecting, he just felt disappointed.
“Oh right!” Xue Yingshuang, who left the kitchen, poked his head back in again, “Speaking of shrimp oil, do you want to eat prawn sauce noodles tomorrow morning?”

Xing Yun ate a large bowl of such ordinary and unexceptional prawn sauce noodles.
For the first time, Xing Yun ate this kind of meal in the morning. After eating, he was so full that he didn’t want to move, so he sat lazily on the sofa to ponder.
Xue Yingshuang looked at Xing Yun, feeling like he had fed a stray dog.
But Xue Yingshuang had no interest in teasing the dog. As soon as he got off work at nine o’clock, he went back to his room to study without looking back.
Because he knew that only by studying well would he be able to have his own puppy sooner.
When the time comes, he will be able to help his puppy prepare its meal.
Xue Yingshuang was studying enthusiastically until twelve o’clock, when a voice suddenly sounded faintly behind him.
“Aren’t you going to eat?”
Xue Yingshuang didn’t know when he entered his room and was so scared that he jumped.
Finally, when his heartbeat calmed down, Xue Yingshuang looked at the clock and then at Xing Yun. After several considerations, he held back the words “It’s time to get off work”, and got up to cook silently.
For lunch, Xue Yingshuang made a very simple donburi with tomatoes and eggs, accompanied by a small plate of stir-fried meat and a plate of stir-fried vegetables.
This dish is too ordinary, Xing Yun’s mouth twitched when he saw it. What is this thing? It is really unappealing to the eye.
But as soon as the chopsticks went down, a bowl of rice was gone in the blink of an eye. The tomatoes and eggs were sweet and sour and appetizing, the fried meat was salty and fragrant, and the vegetables were light and crisp.
Xue Yingshuang asked, “Would you like some more food?”
Xing Yun said indifferently, “Don’t think I’ll still eat this kind of stuff after the restaurant downstairs is back in business.”
After speaking, he handed the bowl to Xue Yingshuang, and added: “A little more eggs.”
Xue Yingshuang: “……”
For dinner, Xue Yingshuang made four dishes and one soup, yellow braised chicken, big paste shredded meat, stir-fried asparagus, baby chinese cabbage with garlic paste and corn pork cutlet soup.
The amount of each dish was quite large. After Xue Yingshuang had eaten a bowl of rice, he got up to refill. Xing Yun glanced at him coldly, and then said, “He never eats so much.”
Xue Yingshuang said helplessly: “Hey. This is why he is the white moonlight, and I can only be a stand-in… Do you want some more food?”
Xing Yun: “……”
With that logic, Xing Yun was speechless and silently handed the bowl to Xue Yingshuang.
That night, Xing Yun silently ate up a whole pot of corn.
Xue Yingshuang watched from the side, and said in his heart, I see you can eat too… No wonder the white moonlight doesn’t want you.
On the other end, when Xing Yun looked up, he saw Xue Yingshuang looking at him secretly, with a gentle smile in his eyes. There’s a strange feeling in his heart.
On Monday, Xue Yingshuang got up in the morning to make dry noodles. As soon as Xing Yun left his room, he was swallowed by the fragrance.
Xue Yingshuang saw Xing Yun come out and said, “Do you want to eat noodles? I braised the meat in the saucepan last night. The dry noodles with braised meat taste very good.”
After Xing Yun’s footsteps stopped, Xue Yingshuang said again: “Add another marinated egg, the marinated egg this time is very delicious.”
Xing Yun was silent. Xue Yingshuang thought he had acquiesced and was about to make a bowl for him. Unexpectedly, he heard Xing Yun say loudly: “I said, I’ll only eat your meal for two days! Don’t meddle in other people’s business, the assistant will prepare breakfast!”
Xue Yingshuang thought to himself, what are you excited about, but turned his head to see Xing Yun take his briefcase and run away to work.
In the parking lot, Xing Yun sat in the driver’s seat and was extremely annoyed.
He has never had much appetite in the morning, but today, as soon as he smelled that aroma, he suddenly became hungry.
But he had said he would not eat it.
He said he wouldn’t, but Xue Yingshuang still had to go and ask him. What was his intention? Does Xue Yingshuang want to see him slap himself in the face?
Xing Yun slammed the steering wheel abruptly, and was instantly startled by the sound of the horn, and became even more angry.
When Xing Yun drove to the company, breakfast was already on his desk.
The breakfast prepared by the assistant today is still the croissant in the coffee shop downstairs. The croissant is made by a factory in a unified manner. The taste is ordinary, but the quality is stable. After eating it for so long, Xing Yun has become accustomed to it.
However, today he took a few bites, and it was tasteless. He thought about the taste of the dry noodles with braised meat, and in the end, could only finish the croissant quickly.
At noon, Xing Yun used to go to a hotel near the office building for lunch, and today was no exception.
As soon as he got out of the elevator on the first floor, he was greeted by an acquaintance.
It’s the owner of the company downstairs.
Xing Yun sells home furniture, and that boss’s hometown is doing construction, and he runs his own interior design studio. The two work closely together.
In addition, the two are similar in age and neither of them like to talk, so although Xing Yun is reclusive, he can get along with that person, and the two occasionally eat together.
“Lu Yan.” As usual, Xing Yun nonchalantly nodded towards Lu Yan, “Let’s eat together? And you should explain first about the order two days ago.”
The man named Lu Yan shook his head, but when Xing Yun saw him shaking his head, he didn’t say anything anymore.
However, Lu Yan’s serious face suddenly showed a smile that he couldn’t hide. Lu Yan took a step in the direction of Xing Yun: “My wife delivered the meal for me, and I will talk to you after eating.”
Xing Yun looked down and saw Lu Yan carrying a bag with several lunch boxes in his hand. Lu Yan noticed his line of sight, and was overjoyed, he simply pulled Xing Yun into the corner and began to show off his lunchbox.
Lu Yan recently took off his single status and after taking off this status, he’s changed from a quiet old official to a stupid guy who secretly rubbed his love all over.
Xing Yun coldly looked at Lu Yan’s happy face, and wanted to talk about romantic love, how even his personality had changed. As for his? His personality became independent, okay?
Looking at those lunches again, it’s not that great. He really doesn’t know what good there is to show.
It’s just some steaming hot home-cooked food, and it’s beautifully placed in the lunch box, and it appears to be only the dishes that Lu Yan likes to eat… Xing Yun became inexplicably sour, and wanted to show it. The next time he sells his stuff to Lu Yan, the price will be increased, so Lu Yan can just continue to show off.
Lunch is still boring.
When Xing Yun went home in the evening, he habitually went to the owner’s private restaurant again.
After two days of renovation, the restaurant reopened, the tables and chairs were changed, the old location of Xing Yun’s table was moved. When he takes a look at the menu again, even the menu has been reprinted, and the dishes he is familiar with have been replaced with new names and became unfamiliar.
“Mr. Xing, would you like to order steak today too?” Said the waiter that came to the table.
Xing Yun was about to nod his head, but looking around him at this strange new environment, strange menus and dish names, he felt a sense of loss in his heart. It’s hard to get accustomed to it, why has this changed?
For some reason, the meals he had eaten the previous two days, as well as the spoonful of porridge that Xue Yingshuang had added to his bowl, appeared in his mind.
Now that everything has changed, what’s the harm in trying?
“Let’s leave it at that for today.” Xing Yun got up and left.
At 6:55pm, Xue Yingshuang finished his meal and washed the dishes, ready to start his evening of work.
The thought of having to spend the whole night looking for something to do, Xue Yingshuang inevitably missed yesterday. It’s so good to cook a meal and he can change the content of his work, but he can also show his strength to the boss, and he can also eat with pay… Xue Yingshuang sighed.
There was the sound of footsteps behind him, Xue Yingshuang restrained his expression, and calmly nodded to Xing Yun, who had just returned home.
Xing Yun looked at him and said, “Come here, I have something to talk to you about.”
Xue Yingshuang didn’t know why, so he wiped his hands and followed Xing Yun to the study room.
Xing Yun sat down in his office chair but didn’t talk to Xue Yingshuang, he only started typing at the computer.
Xing Yun’s study room is the same as other parts of the house. Except for the necessary furniture, there are no other furnishings. In the huge study room, there are only bookcases built against the four walls, as well as a set of office desks and chairs, which are very deserted.
Xue Yingshuang had no place to sit, so he simply stood by the bookcase to see what books were there.
However, there are not many books in the bookcase, only some business-related books, most of the bookcases are empty.
Xue Yingshuang waited for two minutes. Boredom is boredom, but seeing that the clock was past seven o’clock, he didn’t respond.
The paid daze ordered by the boss, he likes it the most.
After a long while, Xing Yun pressed the print button, and the printer at the table began to “hum hum hum” as it spit out the paper.
After the document was printed, Xing Yun gave Xue Yingshuang a copy.
“In order to be able to eat regularly in the future, I want to increase your work projects.” Xing Yun said, “From now on, help me prepare breakfast and dinner on weekdays, and three meals on weekends. Is that okay?”
When Xue Yingshuang heard this, his spirit suddenly came.
“Can I prepare anything?”
“Unless I specify the food, you are free to arrange it.” Xing Yun said, “Of course, if I don’t like it, you have to cook it again.”
Xue Yingshuang nodded quickly, of course it was no problem.
Xue Yingshuang looked at the new content of the contract and said, “I didn’t start cooking until seven o’clock, so I may not be able to catch you when you return home for dinner. If I can start preparing earlier, you will be able to eat just in time when you get home.”
Xing Yun understood what he meant and replied: “Remember to report for overtime if you spend more time. The time to prepare lunch on weekends will be counted as double time and a half.”
Thinking that he could not only have something to do, but also make more money, Xue Yingshuang couldn’t help laughing when he thought of this.
After Xue Yingshuang smiled, he remembered that he couldn’t smile, so he quickly stopped, and glanced at Xing Yun embarrassed.
Xing Yun snorted coldly, too lazy to care about Xue Yingshuang’s gaffe.
This little stand-in, is he so happy to help prepare my meal?
Could it be……
