Chapter 281: Chapter 281

By the time Jiu Li finished washing her feet, it was already two o’clock in the afternoon.

At this time, Su Yan, who had only had breakfast and skipped lunch, couldn’t help feeling a bit hungry.

He immediately looked at Jiu Li, who was lying on the adjacent sofa playing with her phone, and said, "I’m a bit hungry. Hurry to the school supermarket, buy some groceries, and cook."

"Sir, you’re not joking, right?"

Jiu Li turned her head toward Su Yan, her beautiful eyes filled with incredulity, thinking she must have misheard.

Earlier, when Su Yan demanded that she do the housework from now on, she thought he was just spouting nonsense out of sheer boredom.

But from the looks of it now, this dense, unyielding guy seemed dead serious!

Seeing Jiu Li looking at him with a ’you-must-be-joking’ expression, Su Yan simply said, "I’m not joking."

Hearing this, Jiu Li looked aghast, and she started to rant inwardly.

No way? No way, right? This dense guy, impervious to all pleading, he doesn’t really want to treat me like a nanny, does he?

He really expects me to do household chores, doesn’t he?

I, Jiu Li, the dream fox-eared girl of 1.3 billion young men, may not live an extremely delicate and pampered life, but at the very least, my hands have never touched mundane chores.

And here you are, you unyielding blockhead, not only failing to cherish me, but now you even want me to do housework?

What kind of international joke is this?

With these thoughts in mind, Jiu Li said with extreme reluctance, "Sir, I’ve never cooked in my life. Aren’t you making things difficult for me?"

"No problem. You can start with easy dishes that anyone with hands can make; I’m not picky."

"Sir, it’s not that I don’t want to cook; I genuinely don’t know how," Jiu Li began to whine instinctively, her expression pleading. "Sir, how about we order takeout? Or we could go out to eat."

No matter how much Jiu Li whined, Su Yan remained unmoved.

In the end, he only said indifferently, "I don’t want to repeat myself. If you really can’t cook, then just make some simple dishes anyone with hands can make later."

"For example, tomato and egg stir-fry, blanched greens, cold cucumber salad, and such."

"Aren’t these dishes you can make if you have hands?"

Seeing that Su Yan insisted on her preparing dinner, Jiu Li, sitting on the sofa, suddenly pulled a long face.

Everyone understands the principle!

The dishes you mentioned are indeed simple; anyone with hands could make them.

Is it that I can’t cook?

It’s that I don’t want to, alright?

You deserve to be single forever!

You really don’t know how to treat a girl!

Jiu Li cursed a few times in her heart, then said with a sour expression, "Tomato and egg stir-fry, huh? Blanched greens, huh? Cold cucumber salad, huh?"

"I’m letting you know beforehand, if it doesn’t taste good later, you better not nitpick."

Su Yan smiled and said, "Don’t worry about that. As long as you don’t intentionally make it disgusting just to upset me, I won’t nitpick." Check latest chapters at novel~fire~net

Seeing Su Yan smiling, Jiu Li couldn’t help rolling her eyes at him.

Then she stretched out her hand in front of him and demanded, "Give me money to go buy groceries."

"You don’t have money?" Su Yan frowned, obviously wanting to Bai Piao the upcoming dinner.

Jiu Li lied without blinking an eye, "I spent it all on clothes last night."

Su Yan suspected Jiu Li, that little show-off, was trying to trick him, but he had no proof.

In the end, he could only open his messaging app and send her a 50-yuan red packet.

Then he said, "I just sent you a 50-yuan red packet on the messaging app. Buy whatever you want to eat. If it’s not enough, cover the rest yourself."

"Oh, and if you’re thinking of making tomato and egg stir-fry for dinner, you don’t need to buy tomatoes. I have plenty here."

"Oh, got it," Jiu Li responded listlessly.

Then she switched to a pair of outdoor shoes and went out to buy groceries with obvious reluctance.

After Jiu Li left, Su Yan took out his phone to check the time.

There were still more than six hours until nine o’clock, when he was due at the old house; plenty of time to spare.

With so much time and not feeling sleepy, what should I do?

After giving it a little thought, Su Yan decided reading some novels would be a good way to kill time. He launched a NovelHub reading app.

His digital bookshelf displayed:

*Bookshelf: Five Novels*

*Status: All Dropped*

"How did they all get dropped?!"

"My investment! Oh no!"

Seeing the five dropped books on the bookshelf, Su Yan almost passed out from anger.

He had high hopes for two of them and had even invested over a million points.

They were all damn well dropped!

"If I ever glance at another book by you five eunuchs of the Eastern Factory again, I, Su Yan, am an idiot!"

Su Yan cursed angrily and then blacklisted each of those authors.

He removed the five dropped books from his bookshelf as well.

Quickly, Su Yan, who enjoyed supernatural novels, opened the supernatural mystery category’s bestseller list to see if there were any good new books.

As soon as the bestseller list in that category popped up, eight unfamiliar titles appeared before Su Yan’s eyes:

Yin and Yang ferry: the underworld riverman

Invincible starts with digging graves

Global Paper: Me, Paper Taoist

The strongest yin and yang master in history

Signing in: Me, the undertaker of Luo City

Mystery: The undertaker of the magic city

Global Coffin Carrying: Me, Super Double

Those years when I worked as a corpse driver in the yang world

"What’s going on here?"

"Since when did the supernatural category have these eight bestsellers?"

"And with such high word counts?"
