Chapter 780: I Do Not Know How To Cook, You Go
The young soldier placed the vegetable basket on the coffee table.
Leng Zhiyuan quickly retracted her gaze back from Zhou Yao, and she hid her gaze away from him. She felt guilty, and she was afraid that the young soldier would see.
“Older Sister-in-law, don’t be angry with Major General for what he did yesterday at the back of the mountain. Major General has a deep vengeance with Scorpion.”
Leng Zhiyuan turned her gaze back and said, “What happened between him and Scorpion?”
The young soldier recounted, “That was something that happened almost ten years ago. I had not joined the army yet, but this story spread around the military base. Major General was thrown into the army base by Old Master Zhou, and at the start, Major General was extremely playful. n.o.body was able to control him, and at that time, Major General’s leader was Han Hong. Captain Hong really had high hopes for Major General, who was misbehaving, and decided to nurture him into a talent.
“After that, there was once when they were overseas on a mission at sea, and at that time, their enemy was Scorpion. Because Major General did not have much experience, he was exposed before Scorpion. Captain Hong rushed over immediately to save him, and after that…because he chose to save Major General, Captain Hong was shot in the chest… He pa.s.sed away during the mission.”
“After Major General came back, it was like he became a totally different person. He became silent and did not speak much. Other than mealtimes, he would start to lock himself up and train like a beast, and after two years, Major General was only 18 years old when he barged in alone to the underground casino that Scorpio had in Macau. He fought 100 opponents all alone and managed to torch and ruin that casino in the end. Scorpion was forced to escape to sea. Major General took a boat to chase him and used a large knife to chop Scorpion’s left arm off. Scorpion managed to escape, but after Major General’s huge blow to him, he was silent for six whole years. In the past few years, news of him came once again. Similarly, over the past few years, Major General has been getting attacked furiously by Scorpion, and Scorpion has already treated Major General as the biggest enemy in his life.”
“With this move, Major General is extremely famous in the base, and after coming back to the base, he has started the Flaming Forces Special Elite unit. They are able to fight off everything and have turned into a legend.”
Leng Zhiyuan’s heart felt as if she’d been attacked by bees at that moment. She did not expect him to have that kind of past…
16 years old.
That was at such a young age, and she could imagine his childish and naughty behaviour, but it was at the age of 16 that he was given such a huge blow in life.
The 16 year old youth went all alone to fight the enemy and at last battled it out with Scorpion on the seas. This alone was enough for others to respect him, but she knew that at that time, he must have thought to end it all at that moment with Scorpion.
Ending it all…
Han Hong died because he chose to save him. Although he was silent and did not speak much on the surface, his inner heart was long bleeding. He was guilty, and blamed himself… A life was suddenly forced onto him, and he did not know how to break away.
He only knew how to seek revenge.
A person who was bold and brazen, he must not have felt well for the past ten years.
Leng Zhiyuan raised her gaze up to look around the room and asked, “What kind of person was Han Hong?”
“Han Hong was the most outstanding Captain in the army at that time. He was ten years older than Major General. When he pa.s.sed away, he was at the prime of his youth, and I heard that at times, he frequently chided Major General. A man was supposed to defend his country and home…and thinking about it now, Major General must have been influenced by Captain Hong.”
Leng Zhiyuan agreed with him inside her heart. Everything that Zhou Yao was doing now was not what Han Hong asked him to fulfil, but it was what Han Hong advised him to do.
A person in the rebellious state of youth was growing up and suddenly met a good teacher and friend like Han Hong. Han Hong must have taken up an important position in Zhou Yao’s heart.
“What other family members does Han Hong have?”
“Oh, Captain Hong was an orphan. His parents pa.s.sed away when he was young, but Captain Han has a younger sister…”
The young soldier still wanted to continue on, but at this moment, the people inside the room walked out and everyone excitedly greeted her, “Older sister-in-law!”
They were interrupted, and Leng Zhiyuan raised her gaze up to look at everyone.
“Older Sister-in-law, thank you for your help in the back of the mountain yesterday. Older Sister-in-law is really amazing. We are all in awe!”….
Everyone was complimenting her, Xiao Zhi’s eyes were all red as he looked at her thankfully. Leng Zhiyuan had a small smile on her face before she shook her head. “It is a small matter.”
After sending everyone off, the room was finally silent. Leng Zhiyuan let out a breath of air, and her gaze suddenly fell onto the vegetable basket on the coffee table.
She froze entirely.
“Oy, Zhou Yao, what is the meaning of this?” She lifted the vegetable basket up as she glared at Zhou Yao fiercely.
Zhou Yao cast his gaze over to the side and had a glance at the vegetable basket in her hands, then he squinted his eyes as he laughed and said, “Huh?”
Would he not understand what she meant?
He was obviously trying to pretend!
“What is the meaning of giving us vegetables? Isn’t there anyone…who would give us food directly?”
She did not know how to cook, and every time she tried to cook, she would make the entire kitchen a mess. He seemed to be good at cooking, but he was lying down in bed right now and could not move!
What was she going to eat then?
Zhou Yao looked at her after the words — send food over — and the more he thought about it, the funnier he found it. This woman was considered to be self aware, and she knew that this was something problematic.
Not bad. She could still be saved.
“In the past, I was out on a mission in the base, and they would give you food that was already cooked, but now that I am injured and recuperating. There is a kitchen here. Of course they would think that you would cook and take care of me well. They do not bear to disturb us while having such a beautiful bonding time with one another.”
This, this, this…
He was right, but, but, she did not know how to cook…
She was angered and threw the vegetable basket to the floor as she said, “I do not know how to cook. Why don’t you cook?”
Zhou Yao heard what she said and went to shake his injured right thigh as he said, “How am I going to go over?”
“I do not care. Go and tell them…”
“Sure, I will give a call to the Old Man now and ask him to send a kitchen worker. The Old Man is worried. He doesn’t have a spy by our side currently…” Zhou Yao was about to get his phone.
“Oy!” Leng Zhiyuan stopped him immediately.
Zhou Yao was satisfied and took his hand back. He had a glance at her face before smiling as he looked over at the kitchen and said, “Mrs. Zhou, what are you still frozen there for? Go quickly.”
…
After that, Leng Zhiyuan was extremely busy in the kitchen. The man who was lying down on the bed was holding a carrot in his hand as he chewed on it —
“Yes yes, wash the rice first. After you wash the rice clean, pour it into the electric rice cooker… Aiya, be more careful. You have spilled water on the plug. Wipe it quickly…
“What? You also do not know how to use an electric rice cooker? Young Miss Leng, don’t you know how to read? Look at the words on it. There is a timer setting and also the power switch…
“What are you looking at me like this for? How long do you need to cook it for? Yeah, let me think about it… About two hours, I think…. Haha, you really believed it. I was bluffing. Around forty minutes. Change it quickly…”
After she plugged the electric rice cooker successfully, Leng Zhiyuan was already sweating profusely. She walked out of the kitchen and glared at Zhou Yao fiercely, and she hated that she could not use her gaze to dig his guts out.
“Mrs. Zhou, you have something else to do. You are done making breakfast. Now…you should start was.h.i.+ng the clothes, right?”
WHAT?
Leng Zhiyuan was agape as she looked at the clothes piled outside the bathroom, and the bucket was filled with both his and her dirty clothing…
There were three black lines on her forehead. Her small hands that were drooped by her sides were clenched together with a click, and her eyes were spewing fire as she shouted out, “Zhou Yao!”
The man was very self aware as he sat up on the bed and said, “I get it. Mrs. Zhou has not washed clothes before, right? Okay, I will wash them, but wait a minute, my thigh hurts so badly. I cannot…”
Bang! He fell back down onto the bed.
Leng Zhiyuan:…
