Chapter 338 - Tell A Story

“Okay,” Lu Yan replied with a smile.

Shen Yan took out the dishes and pretended to look at her phone. It seemed that Lu Yan had prepared beforehand for this hotpot. Lu Yan placed an induction cooker on the table and then put the pot on top of it.

He put some vegetables into the pot first, and he added a few slices of beef in to cook them. Afterward, he scooped them out and put them into Shen Yan’s bowl. “I made this homemade hotpot myself, so I don’t know if it suits your appetite.”

Shen Yan smiled at him and replied, “It’s very delicious.”

At this moment, the parrot on the balcony cried out again.

“Lu Yan likes Shen Yan! Lu Yan likes Shen Yan!”

“Then do you like it?” Lu Yan stared at her.

Shen Yan naturally understood Lu Yan’s pun.

She raised her eyes and accidentally met Lu Yan’s affectionate eyes. Shen Yan lowered her eyes quicklyand said, “Eat it quickly. The meat won’t taste good after being cooked for a long time!”

Lu Yan sat opposite her. He picked up a piece of meat and put it into his bowl. He stirred it for a while before putting it into his mouth. Lu Yan then slowly chewed before swallowing it.

His gaze kept falling on Shen Yan’s face. He seemed to have thought of something and asked, “Do you want to drink?”

Shen Yan raised her eyes to look at Lu Yan. When she met his smiling eyes, somehow, she felt a chill down her spine.

This subconscious fear made her feel a little uneasy. Shen Yan seemed to have seen this pair of eyes before, and she could not recall it at this moment.

“I don’t drink.” Shen Yan suppressed the uneasiness in her heart.

“Hotpot with beer. That’s the best combination! Then, I’ve to drink myself.” The smile on Lu Yan’s face was as gentle as ever.

Shen Yan looked into his eyes. She was completely sure that the smile in Lu Yan’s eyes just now was completely different from his current expression.

Now, his smile was as gentle as a lamb.

However, the smile in his eyes seemed to be full of schemes just now.

Lu Yan took out a beer and opened it directly. He took a sip and then put the beer aside. “Why don’t I tell you a story.”

Shen Yan stopped eating and then nodded with a smile. “Okay.”

“Once upon a time, there was a young boy who had always lived in an orphanage. He was often bullied by other children, and those children often stole his food. As he couldn’t fight more than a dozen people alone, he often ran out to beg for food.”

“He ran out of the orphanage again when he was seven years old. It was very cold that day, and it was snowing heavily. He didn’t have shoes or a jacket. He wanted to find his parents, but he didn’t know where to find them.”

“When he passed by a park, he saw many children playing with snowballs. He walked over and wanted to join them, but he was ostracized by those children who wore designer clothes.”

“At this moment, a little girl stood up from the side. She fiercely warned the children not to bully the little boy. The children then listened to the little girl and played with the little boy.”

“The sky gradually turned dark, and the little girl needed to go home. Seeing that the little boy was thinly dressed, she gave the clothes she was wearing to him.”

“She also told him to go home early, but the little boy said that he couldn’t find his parents.”

“At that moment, the little girl said that she had a father and a mother, and she could share her parents with him. The little girl wanted to bring him home, but the teachers from the orphanage came and brought the little boy back to the orphanage.”

“When the little boy returned to the orphanage, his biological father found him and brought him home less than a month later.”

“Later, the little boy met her again at the little girl’s house. However, the little girl no longer recognized him. He had been watching over the little girl as she grew up silently. But the little boy could not help but want to get close to the little girl…”
