When Ji Lin finished, he glanced at Bai Duanduan, then quickly averted his eyes and added, âDonât feel good about yourself thinking Iâm speaking for you. I wonât waste my time talking such nonsense, and itâs none of my business how youâre scolded by them.â
He coughed and said, as if it were natural, âYou, on the other hand, should reflect on your relationship with Lin Hui at the last law firm and be careful. That woman just now was not happy with you because of that.â
Bai Duanduan thought to herself, itâs fine, those people werenât Lei Feng 1 model of altruism and dedication, wiki him whose good deeds would be recorded, on the contrary, they were a hypocritical group hiding under anonymity.
Just â¦â¦ What happened to the relationship between herself and Lin Hui? It was just the normal relationship between a teacher and the student when Bai Duanduan hadnât resigned. Although Lin Hui had previously been kind to her family and had indeed guided her with patience, does the teacher-student relationship still need to avoid peopleâs eyes and ears?
Lin Hui hadnât given herself any special attention since she started practicing on her own. All her case sources, her victory, had been earned by her own efforts, not to mention the fact that Lin Hui had fallen out with her a long time agoâ¦..Bai Duanduan did not understand why her past relationship with him would always be brought up?
Could â¦â¦ could it be that Ji Lin also misunderstood something? Thinking that she and Lin Hui really did have an affair once?
He seems to be a person who has a clear logic and a clear distinction between right and wrong. Could it be that he still believes in such nefarious words?
âNo, Ji Lin, youâ¦â
Unfortunately, Bai Duanduan didnât have time to explain clearly, because before that, Ji Lin had hurriedly paid from the self-service checkout in an almost panic, and walked away with his purchases. He looked as if he was being chased by a vicious dog and he couldnât stay in the supermarket for even a second longer.
Even though he tried to hide it and not look at her directly, Bai Duanduan was still keenly aware that Ji Lin was a bit at a loss. Although he used to wrap himself up in a harsh expression and cold statement, when the shell was peeled off, it was a rare coyness of this cold man, with a touch of annoyance, like a sweet taste sprinkled with a bit of spice, but this strange combination did not feel bad. ;
Bai Duanduan thought casually, after all, she loves to eat Korean style sweet and spicy rice cakes with sesame seeds.

Bai Duanduan also hurriedly paid the bill and went after him, eventually catching up with Ji Lin in the lift and squeezing into the same lift as him. As soon as she got into the lift, Ji Lin lifted his feet and walked out.
â?â ;
Bai Duanduan was dumbfounded, completely forgetting the explanation she wanted to say just now, and just subconsciously stopped him, âJi Lin, are you suffering from âBai Duanduan allergyâ? Just now, you ran away like you were avoiding an allergen after paying, ignoring my shouting at you from behind; now you canât even take the same lift with me? I just got in, and now youâre leaving as soon as you see me?â
Ji Lin glanced at Bai Duanduan and pursed his lips, âWhat âBai Duanduan allergyâ? I just forgot to buy something, so Iâm going back to buy it now.â
Oh⦠thatâs it⦠Bai Duanduan groaned, who told him to leave just now as if he were being chased by someoneâ¦â¦
She remembered how protective Ji Lin was of herself and took the initiative to care, âWhat did you forget?â
âForgot to buy a box lunch.â
Bai Duanduan was taken aback. She looked at Ji Lin and realised that he was still in his meticulous formal clothes with a briefcase in his hand. He looked like he had just returned from the law firm âYou havenât eaten dinner yet?â
âEn.â
Ji Lin didnât want to face Bai Duanduan at all at that moment. He felt that he was not himself if he saw Bai Duanduan for once, let alone talking to her. Even if he heard her name, he could not help but be nosy. At that time, he only wanted to get away from her as soon as possible. He looked at the ground and tried to calm down, âSo I have to go back and buy a box lunch.â
It was nearly nine oâclock and Ji Lin hadnât even eaten dinner yet!
âDonât buy the boxed lunch from the supermarket, itâs not good, and I just happened to pass by the counter over there before I paid and it was all sold out!â Bai Duanduan said enthusiastically, âLet me treat you to dinner!â
The neighbourhood Bai Duanduan and Ji Lin rented was located in a high-end business district. There were no fast food stalls nearby, only high-end restaurants. But unfortunately, Ji Lin was obviously not interested in Bai Duanduanâs generous treat.
âNo.â When he heard that the supermarket had run out of boxed lunches, he withdrew his foot in disinterest and re-entered the lift, âIâm too hungry to wait.â
âBut you donât have any food in the fridge!â
Nowadays, as long as Ji Lin cooks, not to mention weekends, even on weekdays, Bai Duanduan would cheekily rub a meal, and in return, Bai Duanduan would help Ji Lin wash the dishes every time, so she knew exactly what ingredients were there inside the fridge very well. Ji Lin has been working a lot of overtime the past two days, and he hasnât had the time to stock the fridge yet!
ââ¦.â
Ji Lin rubbed his brow, âI remember there is a box of frozen pizza in the freezer.â
âI ate it.â
ââ¦.â
Bai Duanduan confessed and said, âYesterday I thought you would come home and cook, so I waited for you at your house. Later you called and said you would not come back, so Iâ¦.. ate that pizza of yoursâ¦.â
Recently, Ji Lin has been so busy with work that he sometimes doesnât have time to feed the cat, and once he cooks, Bai Duanduan grows up in his house like a root, so Ji Lin simply gave her a spare key. He didnât expectâ¦..that to be the case of leading the wolf into the house.
Ji Lin tried to calm down and said, âItâs okay, I still have a bag of frozen dumplings.â
ââ¦.I ate that too, the pizza was not quite enoughâ¦.â
âThen I still haveâ¦â
âItâs all gone, I ate it all. I saw that the stuff in your freezer has been sitting there for a while, so I helped youâ¦â¦to clean it all â¦â¦â
ââ¦.â
Ji Lin simply couldnât stand it, âBai Duanduan, how come your appetite is so big?!â
âHow about this, to make up for it, Iâll personally cook and treat you to noodles tonight?â
Ji Linâs expression was so breathless that it looked like he wanted to roll his eyes to the air, âHow have I offended you recently?â
â?â
âYou just canât wait to poison me?â
ââ¦.â
The lift arrived at the floor where Bai Duanduan and Ji Lin lived. Bai Duanduan stepped out of the lift and dragged Ji Lin towards her home despite his objections, âTrust me for once, Iâve been training hard lately. Iâm motivated and my cooking skills have made a qualitative leap. I promise you, Iâll definitely satisfy you! Iâve been wanting to treat you to my own noodles for a long time, after all, Iâve eaten your meals so many times, so Iâd like to return the favor.â
In the end, Bai Duanduan pulled Ji Lin into her house, âSit here for a while, Iâll make it for you right away! It will be ready in ten minutes!â
_____________
Bai Duanduan had indeed wanted to cook for Ji Lin herself, however she had overestimated her strength in the end. Frying an egg by herself was already her limit so she thought about it and finally decided to give up and pull out a packet of instant noodlesâ¦.
Ten minutes later, Bai Duanduan poured the instant noodles out of the bucket and arranged them into a bowl. She deliberately found a pair of clean chopsticks and tossed the noddles, so that the curvature of the noodles in the bowl appeared to be more natural in gesture, and not as pretentious as the big rolls of instant noodles. Then she carefully placed the fried egg she had made before carrying the bowl of noodles out of the kitchen and offering it to Ji Lin like a priceless treasure.
Ji Lin frowned but he was really hungry and the aroma of junk food like instant noodles was really appetizing, so in the end, he couldnât resist his hunger and started eating the noodles.
Bai Duanduan sat quietly on the side during the whole process and watched Ji Lin eat the noodles. She felt a sense of pride that was almost comparable to winning a case.
He finished the whole bowl of noodles.
âHowâs that? Isnât my noodles really extra delicious?â Bai Duanduan got a little carried away, âI told you my cooking skills have improved a lot!â
Ji Lin gave her a look and calmly interrupted Bai Duanduanâs self-aggrandisement, âIf you can make a bowl of instant noodles hard to eat, then I really have to fire you.â
ââ¦â¦I didnât! Itâs not instant noodles! Do instant noodles have fried eggs in them?! And you said you wouldnât fire me! Unless I want to leave on my own!â
âBut this just totally tastes like instant noodles.â Ji Lin pursed his lips, then averted his eyes, deliberately ignoring Bai Duanduanâs later remark.
Bai Duanduan didnât care, she just protested in a resigned whisper, âShouldnât you have praised me a little? Have my cooking skills at least improved? Noodles are instant noodles, yes, but look, I can even lay 2 Bai Duanduan meant the action of transferring fried eggs from pan to bowl without breaking the yolk eggs! Isnât that a qualitative leap?â
âIâll praise you when you can chirp next time.â 3 Ji Lin took the other meaning of âlayâ as in laying eggs like bird so he said he will praise her when she will chirp like a bird hahahaha
ââ¦.â
Bai Duanduan thought to herself, Ji Lin, Ji Lin, why didnât I just make up my mind to poison you to death?
You were eating quite well just now, werenât you? Was this typical of picking up a bowl to eat and putting it down to curse? Thisâ¦.
âFried egg was okay.â
â¦â¦
Bai Duanduan was stunned for a second before she realized what Ji Lin said. She stared at the opponent, trying to find evidence that he had barely praised herself just now from his calm and expressionless face.
But there was nothing.
Bai Duanduan asked persistently, âWas it just okay? I think it should be great!â
Ji Lin pursed his lips, âTomorrow morning at seven oâclock.â
âAh?â
He frowned and looked away, âIâll let you know what a great fried egg is, and show you the difference.â
After Ji Lin finished speaking, he then looked down at his watch before saying succinctly, âOff I go.â
And it wasnât until his figure had completely disappeared outside the door that Bai Duanduan finally realised what he meant by that statement â
Tomorrow morning, Ji Lin will take care of the food, and there will be fried eggs to eat ! ! !
Thinking about Ji Linâs cooking, Bai Duanduan was all of a sudden full of anticipation for the next day.
