Chapter 31: The Feeling of the Little Girl Next Door

  But Liu Yifei didn't think that holding onto Lin Miao was to make her his woman again, or even for a lifetime. He just wanted Lin Miao to be happy and joyful. After all, he was four years younger than her, and in the future, he would still have to go to university. Their intersection might not necessarily be much, just like the happy ending of Fan Wei's play, giving up is also a kind of happiness. As long as Lin Miao could really find her own happiness and wouldn't get hurt, Liu Yifei could accept it.

  After chatting for a while, Lin Miao suggested going to the market to buy vegetables, and Liu Yifei also agreed readily.

  "You go out first, I'll change into another outfit." Lin Miao obviously couldn't wear that revealing T-shirt outside.

  "Uh-huh, I'll wait for you outside." Liu Yifei walked out to the small corridor and put on his shoes, waiting by the door for Lin Miao.

  Time was not long, Lin Miao pushed the door and walked out. At this time, Lin Miao had changed into a yellow tight-sleeved shirt that Liu Yifei saw last time, with a bra inside, and a pair of jeans on the lower body. Her face didn't have makeup, but it still shone brightly.

  However, Liu Yifei also knew that Lin Xiao didn't have many clothes to wear and was completely unlike girls of the same age in her previous life who would change into a new outfit every day.

  Two people walked shoulder to shoulder into the nearby market, Lin Miao's enthusiasm was high, looking around and smiling: "If it weren't for you, I would eat very casually, just a bowl of rice with some salted vegetables is a meal. Today I'll buy two dishes, let's go home and have a good meal."

  Liu Yifei frowned and said, "You eat this every day?"

  "Yes, if I don't eat this then what will I eat? Just for myself, I'm too lazy to cook. Besides...I'm not very good at cooking either. Let's just buy something ready-made later, in case you don't like what I make."

  In Liu Yifei's past life with Lin Huan, Lin Huan's income was already quite good, and he even took Liu Yifei out to eat at restaurants. But now, they were living in such poverty. At this time, Liu Yifei felt a pang of sadness in his heart, but he also knew that after Lin Huan suffered a huge blow, his outlook on life had undergone a tremendous change.

  "Lin Miao, buying ready-made is too expensive. I can cook, I'll go back and make it for you, and I'll buy the ingredients too."

  "Can you cook?" Lin Hao's eyes widened in astonishment, his face filled with incredulity.

  Liu Yifei smiled and said, "Hehe... my parents are usually busy and don't have time to take care of me, so I started learning how to cook in junior high school. My cooking skills seem to be pretty good."

  "What's with boys learning how to cook? You little scamp are really something." Lin Miao covered her mouth and burst out laughing.

  "You're just a foreigner, look at the chefs in those restaurants, how many of them are women? The ones who can really cook delicious food are definitely men, just watch me."

  Liu Yifei quickly bought half a catty of pork, then bought half a catty of dried tofu, two green peppers and half a catty of garlic sprouts, all for only four yuan. This made Liu Yifei somewhat unaccustomed, compared to the prices later on, it was really cheap at this time.

  "You really know how to do it?" Back at home, Lin Miao still looked at Liu Yifei with some disbelief.

  "Of course, you'll see, just wait and watch, tonight I'll let you taste my skills." Liu Yifei smiled slightly, holding something as he entered the small kitchen on the balcony. In his previous life, he had lived independently for over a decade, and normally didn't dislike cooking or making dishes; although he wouldn't dare say he had the skills of a great chef, making a few small dishes was still quite easy.

  Lin Xiao stood there, furrowing her brow slightly, feeling that Liu Yifei's words didn't quite have the right tone. After thinking for a moment, she couldn't help but chuckle softly to herself and muttered: "This little brat, actually made me wait obediently, how did I become like his younger sister? Truly without seniority or juniority."

  But Lin Miao also found it quite interesting, her family had a younger brother who was about the same age and had always been in the role of taking care of others. So when Liu Yi Fei suddenly appeared as a younger brother, she accepted him relatively easily. However, when Liu Yi Fei suddenly spoke to her in a tone that treated her like a little sister, it made her feel particularly strange.

  After changing into that big T-shirt and shorts again, her home was a three-yang house with poor ventilation, no air conditioning in the room, so it was inevitably a bit stuffy. This is also one of the reasons why she wears less at home. If Liu Yifei hadn't come, she wouldn't even wear the shorts inside.

  When they arrived at the balcony, Lin Huan saw Liu Yifei cutting meat there as usual, and the water on the stove was already boiling. The electric rice cooker next to it had also cooked the rice.

  "I didn't expect that, it really is the case! Do you need my help?" Lin Huan couldn't help but look at Liu Yifei with new eyes, and seeing Liu Yifei's knife skills for cutting meat, he looked just like a master chef.

  Liu Yifei turned around and smiled at Lin Miao, saying: "You go rest for a while, it's hot here, I'll call you when the meal is ready."

  "Hmm... how can I let you, my guest, come to my place and cook, while I'm idle? That's not right, is it?" Lin Miao smiled mischievously, without any sign of embarrassment.

  Liu Yifei took the garlic sprouts and started to tidy up, saying: "Am I not your brother? What's wrong with cooking something delicious for you? When I have time in the future, I'll come over often to cook for you, so you won't always be eating those unhealthy things. If you keep this up, you'll get stomach disease."

  However, after he finished speaking, Lin Huan was silent and stopped his actions, turning his head to see Lin Huan staring at him in a daze.

  "Lin Miao, what's wrong?" Liu Yifei asked softly.

  "Nothing... nothing, you little scamp, I'm actually moved!" Lin Xiao patted Liu Yifei's shoulder, and a very happy and intoxicated smile appeared on his face.

  "Ah... doing something for Lin Huan sister is my honor, I'm just afraid that one day you won't like using me anymore."

  "Cough... You're a student, of course you should prioritize learning. If I hadn't failed to get into college, I wouldn't be struggling like this today. If you keep coming here, won't that hinder your studies? My guilt would be too great."

  "Don't worry, I won't. You're not needed here anymore. Look, you're even sweating." Liu Yifei smiled and naturally pushed Lin Miao away.

  "Hmm, then I'll just wait for a ready-made one... Hehe... It's been a long time since I've felt so carefree." Lin Miao turned around and walked into the bedroom, her footsteps light and quick, like a happy and carefree little bird.

  Liu Yifei turned her head and took a glance, a feeling of neighbor's little sister suddenly surged up from the bottom of her heart, warm and sweet.
