Chapter 070: Lin Yi's Weakness

Chu Mengyao and Chen Yushu, the two girls, couldn't eat much. Before Lin Yi came, they would leave more than three-quarters of the food. However, to ensure a balanced diet, Uncle Fu still followed the rule of four dishes and one soup, or at least three dishes and one soup every day.

No matter how skilled a chef was, it was impossible to make a dish with such a small portion. It would be difficult to control the heat and the balance of the seasonings. To avoid affecting the taste, the dishes were prepared in normal portions.

After a few bites, Chu Mengyao found the meal tasteless. In the past, when Lin Yi wasn't around, she and Chen Yushu would chat about interesting topics while eating, and a meal would last for more than half an hour. Today, for some reason, her mind kept drifting back to the scene of Lin Yi standing up for her at the bank last night.

Is this guy a fool or really serious about his job? It's not worth risking his life for a few ten thousand yuan, right? Although Chu Mengyao didn't know where her father found such a guy, her dislike for Lin Yi seemed to have diminished.

Could it be because he saved her yesterday? Fine, I'll keep him around for now. Having him as a bodyguard isn't bad.

"I'm full." Thinking about how she had treated Lin Yi so harshly, making him eat the leftovers, she felt it was a bit too much.

"What's wrong? Mengyao, why are you eating so little?" Chen Yushu looked at Chu Mengyao in surprise. She had only used a few chopsticks, and only for the green vegetables in front of her.

"Nothing, I'm just a bit tired." Chu Mengyao shook her head. "I'm going upstairs. You can ask Lin Yi to eat with you."

"Ah?" Chen Yushu was taken aback. What was Chu Mengyao up to?

Chu Mengyao felt a bit annoyed. She hated this guy so much, yet he saved her yesterday. When she finally tried to show a bit of kindness, he acted all high and mighty! Humph, if he doesn't want to eat, fine, I won't eat either. You can eat or not, I don't care.

Chen Yushu watched Chu Mengyao's somewhat haggard and tired back and blinked in confusion. Was she still scared from last night? But it's been a day and a night, her reaction is a bit too slow, isn't it?

Chen Yushu put down her chopsticks and ran to Lin Yi's room, knocking on the door. "Hey, Arrow Brother, come out and eat!"

Lin Yi opened the door and looked at Chen Yushu. "You called me?"

"Would I call Mengyao 'Arrow Brother'? In this villa, you're the only one who can be called 'Brother,' right?" Chen Yushu slapped her forehead. "Oh, I remember, there's also General Wu, Dog Brother..."

"..." Lin Yi was speechless. Comparing him to a dog?

"Come on, let's eat. I'm starving." Chen Yushu walked towards the dining room.

Lin Yi looked at the dining room but didn't see Chu Mengyao. He followed Chen Yushu into the dining room, puzzled. "Where's the young miss?"

"You mean Mengyao? She said she wasn't hungry and went upstairs after a few bites." Chen Yushu pointed to the seat Chu Mengyao had just occupied. "Sit down and eat quickly. The food is already served for you."

"Okay." Lin Yi looked at the table and saw that the rice was already served in front of him. Since Chu Mengyao had gone upstairs, Lin Yi didn't need to be polite. Although Chen Yushu was a bit mischievous, she wasn't too much trouble.

Gaga! Chen Yushu watched evilly as Lin Yi picked up his chopsticks, took a bite of the dish, and put it in his bowl along with the rice, swallowing it all at once. She was delighted inside and clenched her fists under the table.

Yes! I'll tell Mengyao later that I helped her get revenge. Yesterday, she had to eat Lin Yi's saliva, and today, Lin Yi used her chopsticks and ate the rice she had already taken a bite of. Now they're even.

"Slow down, here's some water." Chen Yushu handed Lin Yi the orange juice from before.

"Thanks." Lin Yi, reminded by Chen Yushu, felt a bit choked and took a few sips of the orange juice. He suddenly realized something was off. "This orange juice..."

"Oh, Chu Mengyao drank a few sips and left. I didn't want it to go to waste, so I gave it to you." Chen Yushu looked at Lin Yi innocently. "By the way, you won't mind, right? You won't go rinse your mouth and vomit, will you?"

"Okay." Lin Yi responded expressionlessly. Although he knew Chen Yushu was doing this on purpose, it didn't bother him at all. Back in the jungle, all the iron tools were used as weapons, and only one set of utensils was left for everyone to use in rotation. Lin Yi had long developed the mental fortitude for such situations.

Besides... a beautiful woman's saliva isn't something everyone can taste. If Chu Mengyao spat, Zhong Pinliang would probably lick it up, Lin Yi thought evilly.

Seeing that Lin Yi didn't react much, Chen Yushu was a bit disappointed. But then she suddenly remembered that she had also taken a sip of the orange juice earlier. That means... Thinking about this, Chen Yushu blushed.

But after being diluted by Chu Mengyao's saliva, it shouldn't be a problem for her, right? Chen Yushu comforted herself. Yes, that must be it.

"Hey, Arrow Brother, I'm thirsty. Pour me a glass of water!" Chen Yushu, who had eaten something salty, instructed Lin Yi.

"Do it yourself." Lin Yi continued eating without looking up.

"Handkerchief... TV..." Chen Yushu coughed twice.

Lin Yi rolled his eyes. Was she treating this as a secret signal? Sighing, he got up to pour water for Chen Yushu, thinking that she had been nice to him and hadn't forgotten to include him in the meal, so he decided to tolerate it.

If Yang Huajun knew he was serving two young misses every day, he would probably laugh his head off.

Pouring a glass of water for Chen Yushu, Lin Yi already knew her cup was the pink one, so he did it easily.

"Thanks, Arrow Brother." Chen Yushu took the cup Lin Yi handed her and said sweetly.

Lin Yi didn't say anything and continued eating. Chen Yushu had thought that if she acted cute, Lin Yi might be more willing, but it seemed that Lin Yi found the braised chicken on the table more attractive than her.

In fact, Lin Yi wasn't blind. How could he not be moved by a beautiful woman in front of him? But he was here on a mission. This was just a brief encounter. After the mission, everyone would go their separate ways, and they might never see each other again. Lin Yi didn't want to form too many emotional ties.

Moreover, he was sent by Chu Pengzhan to accompany Chu Mengyao to school. If he messed around with her best friend, that would be too despicable.

Although Lin Yi still didn't understand what Chu Pengzhan wanted him to do for Chu Mengyao, if he needed a book boy or a bodyguard, there was no need to bring him from so far away. Anyone could do the job, dealing with opponents like Baldy and Zhong Pinliang, who were so stupid, made Lin Yi feel speechless.
