Chapter 902: Chapter 54: Mistaking Salt for Sugar

Chapter 54

Bai Chenxi didn’t want to speak to him, snorted coldly, turned around, pulled the blanket over his head, and went to sleep.

“Oh no! It looks serious! You can recover without injections. I’m going to tell Yan Yuan you’re getting more pretentious…”

Before Gan Lin could finish his words, Bai Chenxi threw a pillow at him, “Mind your own business and get lost.”

“Then tell me first, how did you catch a cold?” Gan Lin not only refused to leave but also moved closer to Bai Chenxi with the pillow, smiling.

Bai Chenxi faced away from him, not wanting to acknowledge him.

But if he said anything ridiculous in front of Yan Yuan, given her fiery temper, she’d probably walk away without a care.

“Got caught in the rain and blasted the air conditioner!” Bai Chenxi replied with just a few words.

Gan Lin coughed, then couldn’t help but laugh and cry, “She wasn’t home last night, don’t tell me you’re jealous!”

“I told you to get lost!” Bai Chenxi shouted irritably.

Gan Lin was speechless, “Fine, fine, I’ll leave! I won’t disturb your rest anymore.”

He looked at Bai Chenxi and thought he might actually have some feelings for Yan Yuan.

This guy is never pretentious.

Turns out people in love all have brain issues.

Yan Yuan carried food up from downstairs and met Gan Lin halfway.

“Why did you leave? Is the boss feeling better?” Yan Yuan asked anxiously. After all, he had to go out in the afternoon, and if he fell ill…

The contract signing would definitely fall through.

“He needs more rest, be sure to supervise his medication.” Gan Lin then glanced at Xia Yeqiu’s food, shook his head, and said, “Too greasy food isn’t good for him when sick. I suggest you make porridge instead.”

“Ah! Porridge!” Yan Yuan stared at the bowl of fish and meat, indeed all her favorites.

It seemed really unsuitable for someone who’s sick.

“What should I do then?” Yan Yuan had a big question mark hanging over her head. Especially since the chef said he had urgent business and left.

“Go make porridge! What are you standing around for?” Gan Lin directly grabbed the plate from Yan Yuan’s hand, “I’ll eat this.”

Yan Yuan looked at her now empty hands and was speechless.

She even began to suspect his intentions.

However, thinking carefully, Bai Chenxi seemed to have a severe fever, and since Gan Lin was a doctor, probably what he said was true.

Gan Lin saw Yan Yuan standing still, sized her up and hurried her, “Why are you still standing there? Go make porridge for him!”

Yan Yuan heard this and helplessly lowered her head, “Alright!”

Even if she didn’t know how, figuring it out on the fly should work, right?

She rushed into the kitchen, washed rice, added water, and started cooking.

Apparently, making porridge was that simple.

Later, she watched Gan Lin eating her food alone and felt heartsick.

This guy said he wouldn’t stay for a meal!

Yan Yuan looked at the pot, hoping the porridge would be tasty.

Gan Lin ate his fill, waved cheerfully to Yan Yuan in farewell, and reminded her to take good care of Bai Chenxi before leaving.

Because this was her best chance to cozy up to the boss.

Yan Yuan squatted in the kitchen corner drawing circles, cursing Gan Lin for an upset stomach at home, for taking her food was just too much.

After waiting quite a while, Yan Yuan finally heard the rice cooker beep OK.

But as she uncovered the pot, she was dismayed.

Because inside wasn’t porridge but sticky rice, the sight of which was really unbearable.

Yan Yuan gritted her teeth, thinking it might be her most successful rice cooking attempt yet, at least it wasn’t burnt.

Haha, she didn’t realize, if a rice cooker could burn porridge, the electronics market might collapse.

Yan Yuan served up a bowl and still had plenty left.

She held the bowl, looked at the pearly porridge, and suspected it wouldn’t taste good.

She turned around to search the kitchen and found some sugar, adding a spoonful.

Thinking it should taste better now.

After going upstairs, she pushed open the door to find Bai Chenxi lying on the bed asleep.

He seemed really sick.

Yan Yuan stood at the door, sighed, and carried the porridge inside.

She found mortal physique troublesome, so prone to illness.

She placed the porridge on the bedside table, walked to Bai Chenxi, and shook his arm, “Get up and eat something!”

“…”

No response!

Yan Yuan furrowed her brow and shook Bai Chenxi’s shoulder more vigorously, “It’s time to eat, I personally made the porridge! I even added sugar, it must be delicious!”

Yan Yuan rarely showed such patience in coaxing him.

After all, he’s the boss, and a future business partner.

She couldn’t just ignore him when he was sick, could she?

The man in his sleep moved slightly, turned over, opened his eyes, and looked at Yan Yuan, “You made it yourself?”

Seeing Bai Chenxi awake, Yan Yuan nodded eagerly as if claiming credit, “Yes! I made it myself, it’s a bit thick, but it’s concentrated essence.”

?…

Concentration is essence, but I don’t think it applies to cooking porridge!

This logic is definitely Yan Yuan’s logic.

Yan Yuan took the bowl, sat beside Bai Chenxi’s bed, scooped a spoonful and held it to his mouth, not forgetting to blow on it.

In the lavishly decorated room, the girl lowered her head, her eyes always looked beautiful under her long eyelashes.

Bai Chenxi stared at her rosy lips, instinctively averting his gaze.

Yan Yuan placed the porridge near his mouth, seeing him turn his head she thought he didn’t like it.

“It’s really tasty, try it!” she continued to coax.

Bai Chenxi looked at the porridge, it really didn’t look very appetizing.

To cook the porridge like this was already very difficult for Yan Yuan.

After quite a while, under Yan Yuan’s patient persuasion, he opened his mouth…

He didn’t have much of an appetite originally, and just wanted to take a small bite.

However, the moment he ate the porridge, his whole face turned redder than it had been when he had a high fever.

Bai Chenxi held the porridge in his mouth, eyes widened, with a look on his face like he was about to cry.

Yan Yuan laughed, “It’s good, right? I added sugar, it’s really sweet. I squatted by the rice cooker, watching it cook.”

Bai Chenxi… he just wanted to ask, are you sure you added sugar and not salt?

Why is it so salty!

It took Bai Chenxi quite a while to swallow it down, and finally he stared at Yan Yuan, eyes reddened.

Yan Yuan only thought he was too excited.

So she gave him another spoonful.

“It’s very tasty! Have more, you must finish this bowl!” Yan Yuan coaxed him like a child, seeing Bai Chenxi had no appetite.

In the end, Bai Chenxi was very obedient, not resisting, and finished the whole bowl of porridge.

“That water…” Bai Chenxi, lying in bed, pointed at the water cup not far away.

Yan Yuan quickly brought him the cup, and Bai Chenxi, seemingly very thirsty, finished the whole cup of water in one go.

Yan Yuan felt like her task was finally complete.

Holding the empty bowl, she smiled at Bai Chenxi and said, “You rest first, I’ll check on you later.”

Bai Chenxi nodded, then closed his eyes to rest.

She trotted downstairs happily.

Today she finally cooked, and since Bai Chenxi was so excited eating it, it must be quite tasty!

She went to the rice cooker, scooped the remaining porridge into a bowl.

Looking at the plain porridge, she added a few more spoons of sugar.

After all, she was a girl and preferred sweeter things. Since Bai Chenxi was a boy, she didn’t add much earlier.

Yan Yuan added a whole three large spoons for herself.

After stirring well, she excitedly took a big spoonful and put it in her mouth.

The moment the porridge entered her mouth, she was stunned and almost choked!

In just a second, Yan Yuan felt sweat on her forehead.

She couldn’t help but spit it into the trash bin.

“It’s so disgusting!” Yan Yuan yelled while looking for water to drink.

That fool Bai Chenxi, can’t he taste anything with his mouth?

It was so disgusting, and he didn’t even say a word, even finishing the whole bowl.

No wonder he had such an ugly expression and asked for water.

Yan Yuan was incredibly embarrassed while drinking water.

She paced back and forth downstairs, too embarrassed to go back up.

At this moment, the chef returned and couldn’t help but ask when he saw the anxious Yan Yuan, “Miss Yan Yuan, what’s wrong with you?”

“Oh! The boss has a fever, could you make him some light food?” Yan Yuan asked anxiously.

The chef immediately nodded, “Sorry I just stepped out briefly, of course. Should I make it now?”

“Yes, please!” Yan Yuan nodded, planning to watch from the side.

This kind of mistake couldn’t happen a second time.

She had to make amends.

Soon the chef cooked a simple lean meat porridge, this time with the right consistency, exuding a delightful aroma.

Yan Yuan even tasted it in advance, and finding it alright, she brought it up to Bai Chenxi.

When she went up this time, Bai Chenxi was on his computer.

He had an ice pack on his head, which Gan Lin had left in the freezer when he left, and she had just taken it for him to use.

He raised his head when he smelled the aroma.

His brows furrowed involuntarily, “Porridge again!”

Yan Yuan smiled awkwardly, “This was made by the chef, it’s very good! Much better than mine, give it a try!”

Bai Chenxi glanced up and down at Yan Yuan, could it be she realized she had put salt instead of sugar in the porridge?
