Chapter 073: Free Chef

Not long after, Uncle Fu's Bentley stopped at the entrance of the villa. When Uncle Fu saw Lin Yi standing at the door, he was taken aback.

"Mr. Lin, why are you here?" Uncle Fu got out of the car and looked at Lin Yi with some curiosity.

"I came out to breathe some fresh air and to see who lives around here," Lin Yi said.

Uncle Fu nodded: "Mengyao and the others haven't come out yet? Should I go call them?"

As he was speaking, Chu Mengyao and Chen Yushu, with their schoolbags, came out of the villa, chatting and laughing. They greeted Uncle Fu and got into the car.

Lin Yi naturally sat in the passenger seat, and Uncle Fu started the car, slowly driving towards the school.

After the two girls got in the car, they whispered to each other in the back. The Bentley had a spacious interior, and Lin Yi didn't want to eavesdrop on the girls' private conversation, so he didn't pay attention to what they were saying.

After a while, Chen Yushu nudged Chu Mengyao: "You like it, why don't you say it?"

"What do I like? I just wanted to have a taste. If you don't say it, fine," Chu Mengyao huffed and ignored Chen Yushu.

Chen Yushu, at a loss, wrinkled her nose and said, "Okay, okay, I'll say it."

These two sentences were spoken clearly, so Lin Yi, sitting in the front passenger seat, heard them, but he didn't know what they were talking about.

"Uncle Fu, when you come back tonight, could you buy some fresh ingredients?" Chen Yushu asked Uncle Fu, who was driving.

"Oh? Ingredients?" Uncle Fu was slightly surprised: "Fresh vegetables and meat?"

"Yes, eggs, seasonings, and all that. Just make sure you get everything," Chen Yushu nodded and said.

"Sure." Uncle Fu was a bit puzzled. He had prepared fresh vegetables and meat for them before, but much of it had expired, so he had reduced the quantity. He hadn't expected Chen Yushu to suddenly ask for a lot again. From the conversation between Chen Yushu and Chu Mengyao earlier, it was likely that Chu Mengyao was also involved, so Uncle Fu didn't ask more and readily agreed.

"Yay! Sister Mengyao! We'll have delicious food from now on!" Chen Yushu excitedly reached out to high-five Chu Mengyao.

Chu Mengyao glared at her, "All you think about is eating. If you become a fat pig, who will marry you?"

Lin Yi, sitting in the front passenger seat, felt a headache. If he still didn't understand what Chen Yushu was up to, he would be a fool. Buying so many ingredients, treating him like a chef?

Damn, how unjust! Even a sneeze could be used against him. If this got out and his teammates heard about it, they would laugh their heads off.

However, this matter was hard to explain. The more he explained, the worse it would get. Lin Yi could only endure it, treating it as a mission. For the reward that would last a lifetime, he felt it wasn't a big deal.

Compared to the days in the North African jungle, where a single spider could be deadly, the current life was much better. He could still go to school and date girls... well, dating girls seemed a bit unreliable.

Lin Yi looked in the rearview mirror and saw Chen Yushu making faces at him in the back. He could only close his eyes and pretend not to see.

Chen Yushu made faces for a long time, finally finding a few difficult expressions to try to annoy Lin Yi. But she found that Lin Yi had closed his eyes, which made her even more frustrated. In her excitement, her face started to twitch and she couldn't stop.

"Xiao Shu, what are you doing? What's wrong with your face?" Chu Mengyao noticed Chen Yushu's discomfort.

"Nothing... I have a toothache," Chen Yushu held her breath, not wanting to tell Chu Mengyao, or she would laugh her head off.

"It's just a toothache. I thought your eyes were bad from all the squinting," Lin Yi interjected lightly, taking revenge for being treated like a chef.

Ha! Chen Yushu didn't get angry but laughed instead. So, he hadn't just closed his eyes; he had seen her making faces. At least she hadn't wasted her effort.

Thinking about this, Chen Yushu felt happy again.

"Xiao Shu, why are you smiling with a toothache?" Chu Mengyao was confused, seeing Chen Yushu grimacing and smiling.

"It's fine, it's fine!" Chen Yushu waved her hand.

At this moment, the car stopped near the school. Chu Mengyao didn't ask more and the two girls got out of the car. Lin Yi continued to sit in the car, following their instructions to avoid suspicion.

"Mr. Lin, shall I take you to the hospital to change your bandages?" Uncle Fu said, starting the car.

"Change bandages?" Lin Yi remembered his leg injury, which wasn't a big deal to him. If not for the reminder, he would have forgotten: "Okay."

Lin Yi thought he would need to go to the pharmacy to get the right medicine for his injury, as regular medicine would take too long to heal. He would also get the medicine for Yang Huaijun.

The car arrived at the First People's Hospital of Songjiang City. Uncle Fu parked the car, and Lin Yi went to change his bandages.

In the surgical treatment room, Lin Yi didn't see the pretty nurse Guan Xin from yesterday. A middle-aged woman was on duty today, and Lin Yi felt relieved. It was good she wasn't there, or it would have been awkward again.

"Hello, I'm here to change my bandages," Lin Yi handed the treatment form to the middle-aged nurse.

"Oh, sit over there," the middle-aged nurse glanced at the form Lin Yi handed her, quickly prepared the bandages, and said to Lin Yi, "Take off your pants!"

"Uh... Can't we close the door?" Lin Yi saw the door was still open and asked somewhat embarrassedly.

"What's a big boy afraid of? Hurry up!" the middle-aged nurse said fiercely, "This is a hospital. Who cares about your butt?"

"Uh... Okay..." Lin Yi was speechless. Thinking of the shy Guan Xin from yesterday, this middle-aged nurse might have been a shy girl in her youth, but time had turned her into a fierce aunt. He wondered if Guan Xin would become like this in the future... The thought made him feel both cold and sad.

To be honest, his first impression of Guan Xin was quite good.

However, it had to be said that the middle-aged nurse's skills were much more proficient than Guan Xin's. She quickly changed Lin Yi's bandages, threw the used cotton into the trash, and said, "All done! You're recovering well. Come back tomorrow, and you'll be fine!"

"Uh... Okay... Thank you..." Lin Yi thanked her and quickly left the surgical treatment room, thinking it was lucky no one had passed by.
