Chapter 49: Chapter 49
So far, the plan is working perfectly.
Lin Yi had successfully taken Ran to his house.
To achieve his goal of getting closer to Ran, it was crucial for her to stay there.
Otherwise, after going out for a meal, it would be difficult to find a suitable excuse to keep her in a private environment with him.
Reality has proven countless times that for guys and girls to get closer in a more intimate way, it can only happen when they are alone.
"Please, sit here for a moment…"
Lin Yi offered Ran a glass of water and said, "I'm going to my room to change my clothes."
"Okay," Ran obediently nodded.
Her naivety led her to ignore that a boy, for a girl, could push his intelligence to the limit.
At this moment, she already considered Lin Yi to be a kind person; she wasn't very guarded around him and still appreciated his kindness and care.
Lin Yi soon left the room, but he didn't change his clothes; instead, he held a new outfit.
Acting shyly, he said, "Ran, could you let me take a shower? I've sweated a lot today."
"Sure…" Ran naturally didn't mind at all. She smiled and said, "Don't rush, take your time."
"I know… There are some snacks in the fridge if you're hungry; you can grab some to eat."
As Lin Yi walked to the bathroom, he said, "Just wait a moment."
"Um."
Ran nodded seriously.
Lin Yi entered the bathroom and started to shower.
In the bathroom.
The cold water fell mercilessly on his body.
Lin Yi rubbed himself slowly, feeling somewhat nervous inside.
Isn't it obvious what he told her? Will Ran open the fridge?
Can the plan proceed as he hopes and go smoothly?
If Ran continues to feel depressed, immersed in a sad environment, without time to think about other things or the desire to eat some snacks, then all his careful preparations might be in vain.
Goddess of luck, please help me this time.
If this goes well, I promise not to speak ill of you next time!
————————
Although the bathroom is a single room and closed, just knowing that there is "someone of the opposite sex" in the shower is enough to let the imagination run wild.
Not to mention that Ran and Lin Yi had sex in that very place.
This made Ran reluctant to think about what happened that night; even if she tried, the memories came back on their own.
Unhealthy thoughts came to her mind, so Ran quickly gave herself a little slap on the cheek and murmured that it was indecent to think about such things.
To avoid those thoughts, Ran decided to do something to distract herself.
By the way, Lin Yi mentioned that there were snacks in the fridge!
After waiting so long at the scene of the crime, she felt a bit hungry.
Ran got up from the sofa, opened the fridge compartment, and found some chocolate cookies.
As she was about to take them out and eat something to fill her stomach, she noticed that there were also some vegetables in the fridge.
After thinking for a moment, she opened the freezer compartment and discovered that there were some steaks.
"Ah, right… Lin Yi can cook by himself."
Ran thought about the fact that Lin Yi knew how to cook and did it quite well.
"And now that I think about it, his salary was cut because of the store manager…"
Always so understanding, Ran thought it wouldn't be right for Lin Yi to spend more money on food outside.
Since there are already ingredients in the fridge, why not prepare the meal at home?
No matter how good the food is outside, it doesn't compare to the effort of cooking it yourself.
He has taken the time to comfort her, putting aside his work and receiving a reprimand from his boss, and his salary was also reduced.
Making him a meal is the least she can do.
With this thought in mind, Ran was even more determined to cook a meal for Lin Yi.
She entered the kitchen and saw that all the spices were available.
Without hesitation, she took off her coat, put on an apron, took the ingredients out of the fridge, and began to work.

"Ah…"
Lin Yi took a deep breath and, with anticipation, opened the bathroom door.
Before leaving the bathroom, Lin Yi heard the sound of a knife hitting the cutting board, accompanied by the subtle sound of vegetables being chopped.
Yes!
Lin Yi couldn't contain his excitement and made a gesture in the air to celebrate his joy.
After a silent celebration of his success, Lin Yi rubbed his face to calm down.
He left the bathroom as if nothing had happened: "Hmm? Where is that sound coming from?"
Taking a few steps and seeing the kitchen, Lin Yi said in surprise, "Ran… are you… chopping vegetables?"
"Yes."
Ran, skillfully handling the knife, glanced at Lin Yi and said with a smile, "I just opened the fridge and saw that there were ingredients… so I decided to make the meal myself."
"And besides, eating out is expensive, and the food isn't always good."
"I understand… then let me help you."
Lin Yi rolled up his sleeves and walked toward the kitchen.
"No need."
Seeing that Lin Yi was about to enter, Ran blocked him with her body to prevent him from entering and said, "I can do it alone. You just sit and wait to see my cooking."
Ran's soft body pressed against his, and her unique fragrance invaded his nose, causing the bells of a church to ring in his mind.
Lin Yi remembered reading this phrase online: "When I saw you for the first time, I already saw you in a wedding dress in my mind."
He felt that this phrase fit perfectly in this moment.
With just a slight touch, Lin Yi felt an urge to protect her and an irrepressible desire to embrace and spoil her.
The word "possess her" became clearer in his mind.
