Chapter 17: It's a Frame-up!

Lin Yi hadn't expected Chen Yushu to remember so clearly. At this point, there was no use in denying it, so he could only lower his head and admit it

"Alright, it was an accident. I was curious and just typed in a random password, I didn't expect to enter this channel... But I didn't watch it! As soon as I saw what it was, I hurriedly turned off the TV..."

"Oh, is that so?"

Chen Yushu naturally didn't believe him, looking at Lin Yi with suspicion.

"It's true, of course..."

Lin Yi looked aggrieved; what he said was, more or less, the truth.

"Hmph!"

Chen Yushu gave a cold snort. She wasn't willing to bicker with Lin Yi over this issue, so she casually picked up the set-top box remote on the coffee table, preparing to change the channel...

However, her gaze stopped on a clump of tissues on the coffee table!

The toilet paper wasn't wrapped tightly, and from the outside, one could vaguely see a translucent liquid inside...

"What is this?"

Chen Yushu's face instantly turned green, and her voice began to tremble: "Fine, Lin Yi, you actually had the nerve to watch adult movies on the TV in Sister Yao Yao's house and do such lewd things..."

"What did I do?"

Lin Yi was stunned, looking toward the coffee table following Chen Yushu's gaze in confusion.

When he saw that clump of used tissues, he immediately realized what was happening!

*Holy crap, can I really be this unlucky?*

Lin Yi knew Chen Yushu must have misunderstood.

Connecting this clump of tissues to the adult movie he had just been watching would inevitably make people suspicious...

Lin Yi felt so wronged; what kind of mess was this!

"Chen Yushu... don't get the wrong idea. I just arrived in the North and my body isn't used to the climate, so I caught a cold. This is just the tissue I used to wipe my nose. If you don't believe me, look closely yourself..."

As he spoke, Lin Yi picked up the clump of tissues and opened it up, wanting to show Chen Yushu clearly.

"Get it away!"

Chen Yushu screamed, "I don't want to look at something so disgusting! Lin Yi, you bastard!"

Lin Yi felt awkward, but there was nothing he could do. Since Chen Yushu wouldn't believe him, he couldn't exactly force her to look, could he?

Thus, he could only sheepishly move the tissue away: "Whether you believe me or not, I really didn't..."

Chen Yushu's eyes darted around, and a sudden idea struck her: "I've changed my mind. I don't want instant noodles anymore. Go cook for me!"

"Huh?"

Lin Yi froze for a moment, asking strangely, "Why?"

"Hmph, because I have leverage over you now. If you don't go, I'll tell Uncle Chu that you... you were jerking off in front of the TV at home, and you scared both me and Sister Yao Yao!"

Chen Yushu gave a devious smile.

Black lines immediately appeared on Lin Yi's forehead. *So wronged, so wronged!*

But where could he go to seek justice for this?

If the old man found out, his life would be over.

Lin Yi took two deep breaths and said through gritted teeth, "You win."

"Win? You're much worse! To think you could actually do something so scandalous!"

Chen Yushu refused to back down in the argument.

Lin Yi was speechless. Although he had accepted his defeat, he didn't forget to retaliate against Chen Yushu: "But, would you even dare to eat food made by these hands of mine?"

"Oh, no problem! It's been shown on TV, it's not like it's inedible!"

Chen Yushu said nonchalantly.

Lin Yi was now completely speechless. This little demon Chen Yushu was much more difficult to deal with than Chu Mengyao!

At most, Chu Mengyao disliked him, but this girl was finding every possible way to mess with him.

However, what surprised Lin Yi was how Chen Yushu seemed like a completely different person compared to a moment ago.

Just now she said it was disgusting and told him to move the tissue away, but now she said it was edible...

Lin Yi really couldn't understand her thought process; did she have sharp turns in her brain?

"Then what do you want to eat?"

Lin Yi sighed and asked.

"Anything is fine. I don't know what's in the kitchen, so go check. Just make something simple; I'm not a picky eater."

Chen Yushu shifted her body into a comfortable position, lying on the sofa quite flirtatiously, her smooth little legs swinging about in triumph.

"Alright..."

Fearing that Chen Yushu would notice his embarrassment, Lin Yi walked toward the kitchen with a hunched back.

However, before he had taken two steps, Chen Yushu called out to him.

"Brother Jianpai, what's wrong with you? Why are you hunching over like a shrimp?"

Seeing Lin Yi hunching over, Chen Yushu found it strange, but when she thought about the adult movie he had just watched, she immediately understood what he was trying to hide!

Chen Yushu's face flushed red, and she quickly turned her face away, huffing, "How filthy!"

Lin Yi didn't bother explaining anymore. Since he had already been caught, he simply straightened his back and walked briskly toward the kitchen.

Watching Lin Yi's retreating figure, a cunning smile appeared at the corners of Chen Yushu's mouth.

*Hmph, do you think I'm an idiot? You think I didn't know that was snot?*

*From that close, do you think I'm blind?*

*It was clear and transparent, with a nose hair mixed in—if that wasn't snot, what was it?*

Besides, there was no special smell on the tissue, so Chen Yushu knew exactly what it was.

Of course, she wasn't going to tell Lin Yi. She intended to play along with the misunderstanding and use this as leverage to blackmail him!

*Hmph, let's see if he dares to disobey me next time.*

Having a free follower was truly wonderful. Smelling the delicious aromas wafting from the kitchen, Chen Yushu felt more and more that her previous decision had been incredibly wise.

When Lin Yi entered the kitchen, he was quite surprised. The kitchen facilities here were excellent, much better than the large earthen stove in the countryside; everything was so modern.

He even saw a cute little apron hanging on the wall, featuring a large goldfish pattern!

It looked very new, as if it had hardly been used.

Presumably, these two girls were used to being served and wouldn't cook for themselves.

Lin Yi tied the apron around his waist and began searching the kitchen for ingredients.

In the refrigerator, there were some vegetables like tomatoes, spinach, and celery, as well as some eggs, but the quantities of each were small.

It was likely prepared by Uncle Fu for Chu Mengyao, just in case.

Whether the young lady actually cooked was unknown, but as the person Chu Pengzhan trusted most, Uncle Fu naturally considered everything thoroughly.

Checking the staples, there was flour and rice. Lin Yi planned to make some noodles from scratch and prepare some plain noodles (Yangchun noodles), as he was hungry himself.

Cooking was second nature to Lin Yi; he had been serving the old man at home all day, every day, since he was a child, and it had become a habit.

Especially since the kitchenware here was complete, Lin Yi quickly kneaded the dough and skillfully began pulling the noodles.

In a short while, a bundle of thin, springy noodles appeared on the cutting board.

This speed was many times faster than a noodle chef in a restaurant!
