Chapter 157 - This Sentence Is The Best
Not surprisingly, Huo Chenhuan panicked a little when he saw the message and temporarily forgot that he was not chatting as himself, but with the disguise of a normal livestream fan.
MulberryTreeInTheMountain: [It's not like that!]
MulberryTreeInTheMountain: [I'm not just going through with the motions, and I didn't mean that!]
MulberryTreeInTheMountain: [I'm too daft, I don't know how to speak pretty words, so all I could do was to borrow and adapt from other people's rainbow farts.]
Huo Chenhuan had sent several messages in a row. It was clear that he was panicking.
Su Yayan knew she had to stop her act then, so she proceeded with the leading statements.
Yan: [I don't like pretentious, flowery words. I want to hear the truth.]
MulberryTreeInTheMountain: [... Got it.]
Yan: [So…?]
Huo Chenhuan frowned and pondered upon that message for a long while. Finally, with a slight blush, he typed two simple words.
MulberryTreeInTheMountain: [Love you~]
Now, it was Su Yayan's turn to be stunned. The simplest two words were surprisingly the most impactful.
Blushing, Su Yayan could not stop her lips from curling upwards, so she proceeded to affirm a certain someone.
Yan: [Mmm, this sentence is the best.]
Although Huo Chenhuan was clear that the other party was clueless about his real identity and was most probably thinking that he was some girl, he was still impacted by that one sentence of hers.
After a momentarily stun, he was reminded of his initial intentions and 'tested the waters' carefully.
MulberryTreeInTheMountain: [Whatcha doing now, Host? Are you packing up that fish?]
It was the second time that Huo Chenhuan had mentioned that fish, so Su Yayan, however oblivious she may be, realized something was amiss.
Other than the fact that the way he had asked it was undeniably familiar — since he had just asked her why she was at the hospital the same way, she finally understood that a certain person was jealous because of the fish she had made for Ning Qirui.
Su Yayan could not help but chuckle, a teasing thought forming in her mind.
Yan: [I've passed the fish over to the deliveryman to deliver it to the patient.]
MulberryTreeInTheMountain: [...oh.]
Su Yayan was almost certain that she sensed a trace of resentment with a truckload of jealousy from that simple 'oh'.
Yan: [I'm cooking right now.]
MulberryTreeInTheMountain: [Thought you were done with cooking after livestreaming?]
Yan: [What I cooked during the livestream were medicinal dishes for patients. What I'm cooking right now are simple dinner dishes for my parents, my family, and my hubby. It's not the same.]
Hubby?!!! Huo Chenhuan's face and neck had turned beetroot-red at an alarming speed.
Dun Dun, who was playing with a ball in the corner and had rolled the ball over by Huo Chenhuan's feet looked up and saw the entire scene unfold. Its fur had exploded into a ball in shock.
It circled the wheelchair cautiously and curiously. What's going on with Dog Daddy? His face was changing colors!
Huo Chenhuan did not realize Dun Dun's odd behavior. After the heat on his face had subsided a little, his previously sour, resentful tone was completely wiped away as he replied with a fairly good mood.
MulberryTreeInTheMountain: [You do you, I shan't disturb you any longer~]
The little wave at the end was so flamboyant-looking it was not hard to tell that a certain someone was currently in a pretty good mood.
A glimmer of amusement flashed in Su Yayan's eyes. This fella may be a sourpuss, but he was ridiculously easy to soothe.
He was just like a cat with a hair-trigger temper, but once petted, would immediately cling onto your hand and mew contentedly.
Su Yayan had absolutely no resistance towards that.
However, thanks to her quick wit, poor Ning Qirui was spared from an explosion of jealousy by this sourpuss of hers, and it would have gone out of hand.
