" What''s wrong with you ?" asked Su Wan looking at Lin Yan who was sullenly taking out the crayfish from the cold water and rinsing them. His expression while rinsing the crayfish was like a crazy psychopath trying to wring someone''s neck "What gotten into you?"
Lin Yan said nothing, what was he supposed to say? That he was pissed because Lin Chen his baby brother lost his v card before he could lose his? That he was utterly upset at the thought that Lin Chen took advantage of the situation and got what he wanted while he on the other hand no such options left now that there were two gatekeepers instead of one?
Lin Yan wished he could teach his third brother a good lesson by wringing his entire body like these crayfish! First, he will drown him in cold water, then pour salt on his skin and once his skin was all withering and wrinkled he will give him a good rub!
That bastard! He saw his chance and took it. Didn''t even think of his elder brother for once, sure enough, he was raising a white-eyed wolf for all these years!
". It''s nothing" though there were countless things that Lin Yan wanted to say about Lin Chen and what kind of traitorous brother he was, he could only purse his lips, grit his teeth and say that everything was ''fine''! Where the hell was anything fine?
Nothing was fine! He the second brother was being left in the dust behind by his own biological brother! What was he supposed to say about that?
Su Wan stared at him, sometimes she wondered whether or not Lin Yan was a woman in his past life, the way his mood changed in just a few minutes was really incredible. A while ago, he was still worked up about her health then he turned still like a statue… three minutester he blew up like a red balloon with red puffed up cheeks and popping eyes .. and now he was sour like this, in less than an hour, he showed her so many expressions.
Though she felt bemused, she still nodded and said " Is that so? Then let''s go mince some garlic and Sichuan pepper that you got for me" a few days because Lin Yan wanted to surprise Su Wan who was feeling down because she missed the banquet at Lord Fei''s, he had searched around quite a lot for this a novel thing called Sichuan peppers.
He was aware of chillies but he didn''t know about this Sichuan thingy, so he has looked around a lot and finally found what he wanted after a great deal of searching.
Even Su Wan believed that the god was helping her, after all, she just got Sichuan peppers and now crayfish. Hehe, even God wanted to let her eat this delicacy in its finest taste!
Lin Yan of course paid no attention to what why his wife was giggling like a fool in the middle of the kitchen he was too busy sulking. Thus, when he picked up the knife that glimmered with a sinister dark glint even Su Wan who was daring enough felt her hair stand up.
Thus, when Lin Yan gave her the mashed garlic, it was so finely chopped that it looked like it was blended in a grinder and as for the Sichuan pepper they were fine but too thinly chopped which wasn''t humanly possible.
Su Wan stared at the two things with a nk expression but inwardly she was having a little crisis- this what was the meaning of this …just how much pressure was weighing on his shoulders?
She gave him a sympathetic look and then handed him the cuddly kitten to cheer up his mood" here you go, hug him a little while I cook these crayfish"
Lin Yan who was suddenly handed a kitten awkwardly looked at it, like this a kitten and a man stared at each other until the kitten broke the silence by hissing at the man in front of him. He was a smart kitten his fat master told him that this man was an enemy of theirs, so he will be vignt against him at all cost!
Though the small kitten''s mewl was soft and babyish there was nothing babyish about the way it was digging its ws in Lin Yan''s skin. Lin Yan stared at the deep gashes that the kitten left on his skin and narrowed his eyes. Squeezing it lightly, he warned " you better not y with me or else I will chop you up and make cat fry with your meat"
Silence.
Nothing else could be heard except Su Wan''s ttering as she fried the crayfish in the aromatic blend of garlic, chillies and Sichuan pepper, then-
A strangled meow resonated in the kitchen startling both Lin Yan and Su Wan, thetter was so shocked that she dropped her spat, with a thoroughly confused gaze she turned to look at Lin Yan and the kitten" what''s wrong ?"
"It''s nothing" smiled Lin Yan reassuringly as he put down the kitten on the floor " it seems, it doesn''t like me too much. After all, I am still a stranger to him, so he wanted to be put down on the floor,? I didn''t let it down because it was just too cute, so he got upset"
While spouting all this nonsense, Lin Yan was the perfect image of innocence, it didn''t look like he was lying at all which only added credibility to his statement.
Su Wan blinked and then nodded as if she understood his predicament " you are right, he is too cute"
The kitten "….." smart boy.
Lin Yan who has seeded in getting past the hurdle wiped his nonexistent sweat and looked at Su Wan with a smile as he stepped forward to get close to her " Wan Wan I-"
He wanted to get cosy with his wife, if he can''t do jump on the hump, he could still take a kiss or two right? But just as he got close to Su Wan, a sh of grey flickered past him - and two secondster the kitten was lying on the floor in front of his legs, mewling like his entire body was crushed by Lin Yan.
" Ah Yan, walk carefully" chided Su Wan as she picked up the little kitten and slowly and gently patted and rubbed him …even going so far as to check his injuries.
Lin Yan was stunned at the kitten that was acting better than the actors in the soap operas as hey in Su Wan''s arms and weakly meowed. What was he? Iron man? That a little knock caused this little brat to cough up blood?
As he listened to Su Wan''s scolding about how he should be gentle, caring and vignt with pets in the house or else how will he take care of their kids in future, Lin Yan swore one day he will make Sichuan cat fry!
