Siheyuan: Cooking journey

As a normal adult man, this is the most primitive reaction.

After all, we already have Kana, Yukiko Nakamori, and Keiko, so one more wouldn’t be a big deal.

Think so.

He Yuzhu felt like the air was burning.

He took a deep breath and managed to control his emotions.

He ignored Ye Shan's condition and focused on taking her pulse.

The room was silent.

Ye Shan thought she was about to suffer something, but there was no movement.

Her face was burning with nervousness and she slowly opened her eyes, only to find that his expression was calm, as if he was concentrating on thinking.

When she saw his fingers on her wrist, she realized that he was taking her pulse.

For an instant.

Ye Shan felt lost. She had hoped that this would change her and she would have the courage to show herself, but he remained indifferent.

Is it possible that in his eyes, there is no attraction at all?

Ye Shan felt extremely frustrated, and her heart was filled with the urge to hug him.

Even after it has come to this, the other party has not reacted at all.

Even if I took the initiative to hug him, what would be the result?

Probably it will only result in a cold and ruthless rejection?

Although she wanted to do so, at this moment, Ye Shan no longer had the courage and was afraid of being rejected.

"Do you think a person's appearance is really important?" Ye Shan asked with a slightly trembling voice, looking straight at him.

I feel confident that I have a good figure, but it has absolutely no effect.

I'm afraid the problem lies in appearance?

Indeed, few men are interested in women with scars on their faces.

Ye Shan was in a gloomy mood, and even everything in front of her looked so bleak.

He Yuzhu looked back in confusion, not understanding why she asked that. But then he thought about her disfigurement.

At this time, if I tell her directly that I care about her appearance, it will definitely hurt her.

"Inner beauty is more important than outer appearance."

He Yuzhu casually responded and let go of her hand: "Your injury has recovered very well, there is no big problem..."

Before he could finish his words, He Yuzhu found that Ye Shan was holding his hand and pressing it tightly against his heart.

"Do you think my heart is beautiful?" Ye Shan asked him with sparkling eyes.

At this moment, she found the courage.

How attractive is Ye Shan?

He Yuzhu was not sure, but he could feel that her charm was really extraordinary.

He also discovered that Ye Shan was intentionally approaching him.

He just couldn't understand why she did this. In his opinion, his identity was not particularly attractive.

It would be fine if it was because of his handsome appearance that could make women fall in love with him at first sight.

But now he looks so ordinary and not an important person, so I really can’t see any charm in him.

"Do you know what you are doing?"

He Yuzhu, who couldn't figure it out, simply stopped thinking about it and looked at Ye Shan straight and asked.

"What am I doing?"

Ye Shan was confused for a moment and had no idea what to do.

She only knew that He Yuzhu was leaving and they might not meet again for a long time. She felt very uncomfortable and especially hoped that he would remember her.

The best way to make others remember you is to do this.

This action happened naturally.

And although doing so made her heart beat faster and her face turn red, it was not the first time she felt so embarrassed.

He had seen me several times when I was injured before.

By the time he treated his own injuries, he should have gotten used to it.

Now I am just repeating it.

"..."

Seeing that she remained silent, He Yuzhu changed his words: "What purpose do you want to achieve by doing this?

If you have something to say, just say it directly. I will do my best to help you. There is no need to beat around the bush. " As he spoke, he tried to withdraw his hand.

Ye Shan immediately pressed it again subconsciously.

This process of contraction and relaxation brings a feeling.

He Yuzhu couldn't help but hold his breath.

Perhaps because he met more and more women, his liking for them began to gradually increase.

Especially after hiding his true identity, he seemed to be getting more and more out of control, and always felt like he wanted to act unbridled.

"Actually, I don't have any other intentions..."

Ye Shan hurriedly explained, fearing that he had misunderstood her, but she didn't know where to start.

Should I just tell him that I like him?

But does she really like him?

Even she herself didn't have the answer to this question.

I have never experienced a similar feeling before, and I don’t know if I really like it now.

From the love stories I read in books,

I think of him occasionally, and this is indeed true.

But the situation of losing appetite all day did not occur.

There are also situations where his figure is the only thing in my mind.

Whenever I think of him, I feel happier and better.

But this seems to have not been experienced yet.

It's true that I feel angry when I see him with other girls.

But I have never thought about or experienced the possibility of staying away from him or not seeing him because of sadness.

I match each of the items to the corresponding ones, and they both seem to fit in somewhat and yet not appropriate.

Ye Shan is still confused about her feelings.

But at least she was sure that she hoped the man in front of her would remember her.

"I...I just want to thank you for saving my life..."

The lips under the mask were bitten tightly, eyelashes drooped, and the voice trembled: "This is the first time I have done something like this in my life. I don't know anything. You... can do whatever you want..."

Say this in one breath.

Ye Shan was so nervous that she didn't even dare to look him in the face.

She was very aware of the temperature coming from her palm.

Likewise, he must have felt the warmth.

After feeling it, the other party did not respond.

She even considered leaving.

This is undoubtedly a big blow to any woman, as it means that she is unattractive.

This also shows that what he said before, that inner beauty is more touching, is just empty talk. If he really thinks so, how can he not care?

Would the situation change if a beautiful lady was present?

Just like Yukiko Nakamori before, they got together within less than a day of knowing each other.

This also illustrates a fact: the answer is negative.

At the same time, this shows that this man still values ​​appearance.

Ye Shan was neither ignorant nor stupid, so she could naturally think of this and felt filled with resentment and loss.

She was well aware that such words would have no effect.

Because if there is real attraction, even if there is silence, the other person will take action instead of remaining indifferent.

It was because she understood this that she impulsively expressed her inner thoughts - she wanted to become a small episode in his life, so that he would remember the story of a girl who tried to marry him in return for her kindness.

As she was thinking about all this in her mind,

Ye Shan became very nervous. What if he agreed?

Although I guess he will refuse,

But life is full of uncertainties and no one can be 100% sure what will happen.

If you really accept it, what should you do next?

When I think of this,

Ye Shan was trembling all over.

"..."

He Yuzhu looked at her, seeming a little surprised, and was surprised by her answer.

He had speculated that Ye Shan might be trying to use this proposal to achieve a certain purpose;

I also considered that she might be seeking help for Xia Muya's illness;

After all, the only thing that is useful in this identity is medical skills.

I thought of many possibilities.

But he never thought that she wanted to repay a favor.

Because in his impression, Ye Shan gave people a very cold feeling, just as cold as her appearance; even at this moment, her face did not reveal the slightest tenderness or feminine charm, and she did not seem like the type of person who would actively make such a suggestion.

Living in this era of information explosion,

He Yuzhu naturally knew those stories about beauties saving lives and then repaying the favor by giving themselves to them.

If a hero saves a beauty and he is handsome, he will be treated like a "Prince Charming"; if he is not so good-looking, the usual result is that he can only wish to be a slave in the next life to repay the debt.

Although she has an average appearance and nothing particularly attractive about her, Ye Shan still expressed her willingness to repay the favor.

Obviously, this means that Ye Shan has developed some feelings for him.

It is precisely because of these good feelings that there is a desire to repay the favor.

Otherwise, for those great favors that cannot be easily repaid, people usually choose to express their gratitude by "repaying them by working like a cow or a horse in the next life."

After understanding this,

He Yuzhu secretly breathed a sigh of relief and said seriously: "Some things may seem beautiful when you only see the surface."

"But when you get the full picture, you might not think so."

"By the same token, it may be best to keep some things at a distance and let them exist as beautiful memories. Once you really get close and see clearly, it is easy to be disappointed. It is better to treasure the story in your heart and keep it in your memory."

“It’s a good experience to think about it and review it occasionally.”

Ye Shan listened quietly, feeling increasingly depressed.

Having anticipated the rejection, no further action will be taken;

Now that I have a definite answer, I feel even more depressed.

Faced with this kind of intimate action and direct verbal expression,

He still behaved so calmly.

It means that I really couldn't cause any ripples in him.

Right now,

Ye Shan's heart was filled with frustration and she suffered a great blow.

All the expectations and longings disappeared, replaced by dissatisfaction and dissatisfaction.

She glared angrily and hugged him tightly.

"You may not be able to truly understand the essence of things by observing them from a distance. How can you know whether they are really good if you don't experience them personally? " Ye Shan raised her eyes and looked at him.

Seeing that he was still as calm as water, without any disturbance,

With anger flashing in her eyes, she hugged him tightly and said loudly:

"No matter how disappointing the outcome is, this is my decision and I will never regret it..."

I hugged him because I was angry.

When I really hugged him.

Ye Shan was no longer angry, but was instead nervous and uneasy.

I was nervous about what he would do, and worried that even if I took the initiative, he still wouldn't take any action.

"Are you sure?"

He Yuzhu's breathing became a little disordered.

He is a man, a normal man. Temptation is in his arms and impulse is the most primitive reaction.

Especially this temptation, and she looked like she was at his mercy.

In addition, they used a pseudonym, so they would not be held responsible for anything they did.

The urge to do whatever one wants becomes stronger, like a blazing fire that burns people from the outside in, making them anxious and irritated, and longing for a hint of sweetness.

He licked his dry lips instinctively.

He Yuzhu knew in his heart that the current situation was not driven by emotion but by instinct.

Even if Ye Shan is willing and has no regrets, some things still need to be made clear to her.

"It's no loss to me, but it's different for you. Some things have happened and can't be changed."

"You must think it through."

"I don't quite understand why you would want to repay a favor like this."

"I have to tell you, as a man, if you turn down a woman who comes to you, you're a fool."

"Although your appearance has changed a bit, you still have a great figure. I also said that day, when it's dark and your face is covered by the quilt, attractiveness is not determined by beauty or ugliness."

"Even without looking into your eyes, you're still very attractive. I'm happy to accept this reward."

He Yuzhu gently moved his hands, held her in his arms, lowered his head slightly, put his cheek against her soft hair beside her ear and asked:

"Have you really thought it through?"
