【New Red Mansion】Perfect World

Li Shuirong was recuperating at home alone during the day. His examination results came out, and he had mild internal bleeding. He was taking medicine and actively cooperating with the treatment.

At first, he could only stare at the scenery outside the window. Later, when he was able to go out, he would flip through the books on Lin Pin'er's bookshelf and spend the whole afternoon reading. Later, when he was able to move around freely, he took the initiative to study some things he could do, such as doing housework.

Lin Pin'er and her band were performing in the first half, so they could finish the performance and leave the bar at 8:30. Of course, this was also for their safety.

Yin Yue found a part-time job as a personal fitness trainer nearby and finished work just before eight o'clock. Then she ran to pick up Lin Pin'er after get off work.

The bar where the performance was held was a membership-based reservation system, so the clientele was of relatively high quality, but this also restricted Yin Yue's entry and exit. Yin Yue could only wait for Lin Pin'er at the back door. At 8:30, several young people with different temperaments walked out of the back door reserved for staff.

Lin Pin'er's small figure is always at the center. Today, she tied a black and white geometric pattern scarf on her hair, which looked like a wide headband and further highlighted her literary temperament.

Her back was still straight with Beth on her back, and she was discussing something enthusiastically with everyone. When she looked up and saw Yin Yue, she immediately waved her arms to her.

After separating from the band members, the two walked towards a nearby subway station.

"Yin Yue, I want to hold a small party at home this weekend and invite my friends from the band, as well as You Kunling and Lucas. What do you think?"

Yin Yue thought, the apartment is yours, you can do whatever you want with it. But she couldn't say that yet, after all, Lin Pin'er thought they were sharing the apartment, and was asking for her opinion.

"Of course, but you have to plan it. For example, how many people do you want to invite? Do you want to provide alcohol or drinks? What snacks or food are there? Then calculate the cost and charge the entrance fee."

Lin Pin'er's eyes lit up: "You agree? That's great. But I don't plan to charge admission. They all work because they don't have much money. If I charge them, they might not come. What I want is to improve their food. Ellen can't cook. Although she lives with Rio, they often eat takeout. Especially Amara, if she keeps saving money like this, she won't grow taller... and we can all get together and have a good chat about music ideas."

Yin Yue's heart suddenly softened. The girl in front of her had great energy in her small body. She was working to earn money, but she was worrying about whether others could eat well.

"Okay, let's go back and discuss what we need to buy, make a list, and go shopping tomorrow."

"Uh-huh."

As soon as the two girls opened the door of the apartment, they smelled the fragrance.

"Wow, it smells so good." Lin Pin'er smelled the buns just out of the pot.

Li Shuirong was busy in the kitchen, wearing Lin Pin'er's elephant apron. He was wearing a white tank top and light gray sweatpants, and the muscular lines on his arms were visible as he exerted force on his arms.

"I just said I was craving for steamed buns yesterday, and you made them? Huh? My dear Mr. Snail?" Lin Pin'er walked to the kitchen island and asked Shui Rong mischievously.

Li Shuirong directly picked up a bun, broke it in half, and stuffed a corner of one half into Lin Pin'er's mouth.

"Ah! How about trying it first?"

"Hmm... delicious. I'll go wash my hands." Lin Pin'er couldn't wait any longer. She went and came back quickly, and when she came back she sat obediently on the high chair at the island counter. Li Shuirong gave her a plate with a bun and a piece of meat on it.

"There was some flour and meat filling left, so I made a meat dragon...mainly because it's easier." Li Shuirong felt a little embarrassed when he said this, after all, it was his first time making pasta.

"I think you've done a great job, but when did you learn how to make dough? I've never been able to control yeast."

“I bought ready-made pizza crust…”

"You are really smart..."

Then they had a quiet meal. They wouldn’t eat before the performance, but Lin Pin’er would bring some fruit and they would share it when they were hungry. They would have dinner after they got back.

After dinner, Lin Pin'er and Yin Yue helped clean up the kitchen and put the dishes into the dishwasher. Lin Pin'er made two cups of coffee for Yin Yue and Shui Rong, and she still drank jasmine tea.

The three of them gathered on the sofa in the living room to discuss the party.

"If you want everyone to eat better, you must make the food yourself, so let's first list the dishes we can make or are good at, and then make a list based on the menu."

"I can make ciabatta, sandwiches, coffee, cake, and I can also fry instant noodles." Lin Pin'er raised her hand and said.

"I can make fried rice, stir-fry some simple vegetables, and cook pasta." Yin Yue also raised her hand.

"I know all the recipes I can find, the key is whether I can buy the ingredients." Li Shuirong suddenly became very confident in his cooking skills, even though today was his first time making buns.

Lin Pin'er immediately sought everyone's opinions in the band group, wanting to ask them what they liked to eat.

"Is Italian pizza okay? Is apple pie okay?"

Li Shuirong quickly looked up the recipe in his notebook, wrote down the ingredients, and then looked for a supermarket where he could find them.

"No problem."

"Okay, let's start making our own lists of the materials we need."

The three of them immediately started writing seriously.

On this weekend afternoon, Lin Pin'er finished her preparations early before rushing to the performance.

Li Shuirong is in charge of the final plating and layout, and everything is still early.

He first rolled the fried apple pie into a nice shape, put it in a pretty small plate, and then poured honey on it.

Stacks of food are neatly placed on the island counter, which has now been transformed into a buffet food pick-up area.

Then he prepared to cut various fruits, cut them into nice shapes and arrange them on plates. Li Shuirong arranged everything neatly and orderly, and everything that had been processed by him seemed to be arranged in an orderly manner as if they were being inspected.

The sun outside the window gradually turned into an orange halo. Yin Yue came back first. She didn't have to pick up Lin Pin'er today, so she came back early to make fried rice.

The two were busy in the kitchen when the doorbell rang. Li Shuirong ran to open the door and saw a blond man standing outside with a bunch of freesia in his hand.

The man was a little surprised when he saw Li Shuirong, but then the surprised look turned into inquiry.

Li Shuirong also responded to his inquiry, thinking to himself: Is this the foreign man who has a crush on Lin Pin'er?

Yin Yue felt that the atmosphere here was a bit tense, so she hurried over to introduce the two to each other.
