All eyes turned to the doorway, and a strong sense of crisis rose in everyone's heart.
At this moment, a gentle voice broke the delicate atmosphere.
"No need, I can take it myself."
As soon as he finished speaking, Lin Yanshu appeared at the door carrying two shopping bags in each hand.
He lowered his head slightly, subconsciously turned to avoid Shen Ruoyun's outstretched hand, put on shoe covers, and stepped into the house.
Upon seeing the people in the living room, he gave a polite smile and greeted them softly, "Hello."
Everyone looked at Lin Yanshu with scrutinizing eyes, their minds racing, but they still nodded to him in acknowledgment.
After exchanging greetings, Lin Yanshu walked straight to the kitchen without stopping and placed the things he was carrying on the counter.
Seeing this, Shen Ruojun quickly followed.
Lin Yanshu untied the bag and began taking out items one by one.
"I just bought a little bit. See if you want anything else to eat, or ask your friends what they want to eat."
I saw a supermarket nearby when I came over; it's not too far from here.
As he spoke, he methodically organized the ingredients he had just bought.
Shen Ruoyun glanced at the food in front of him; every single item was one of his favorites. He nodded rapidly, like a chick pecking at rice.
"That's enough!! Remember to send me the bill later!" she said, turning around and shouting towards the living room.
"Don't leave when we're having hot pot later."
After speaking, Shen Ruoyun began to assist Lin Yanshu.
The people in the living room had strange expressions when they heard Shen Ruojun's words.
Upon hearing this, Ruan Huai immediately darted into the kitchen.
"Brother Yun, let me help you. I can do anything!"
When Qin Chuhuai saw that Ruan Huai had gotten there first, he naturally refused to fall behind.
Just as Shen Ruoyun was about to refuse, Qin Chuhuai squeezed in and stood to the side, looking at her expectantly.
Lin Yanshu smiled helplessly and said, "Then I'll have to trouble you two."
Ruan Huai diligently began washing the vegetables, while Qin Chuhuai busied himself with setting up the pots and pans.
Qin Chuhuai didn't seem to harbor much hostility towards Lin Yanshu.
After all, this person looked completely different from the hyenas and jackals outside.
Ruan Huai's eyes darted around, and he stood up, extending his arm toward Shen Ruojun.
"Oh dear, my sleeve is wet. Could you help me roll it up, Brother Yun?"
Upon hearing this, Shen Ruoyun didn't think too much about it and reached out to help Ruan Huai roll up his sleeves.
But Qin Chuhuai was a man who knew all too well Ruan Huai's cunning schemes, and he immediately squeezed between the two of them.
"Let me help you roll it up!" As soon as she finished speaking, she pulled Ruan Huai's sleeve up to her armpit.
Ruan Huai: "..."
"Yunyun, help me tie my apron, it seems a little loose." Qin Chuhuai turned around, his back to Shen Ruoyun.
"Hmph...it's not like I don't have hands." Ruan Huai muttered under his breath, somewhat dissatisfied.
Frustrated, she shook the chrysanthemum greens in her hand a few times, the water droplets landing imperceptibly on Qin Chuhuai's trouser leg.
At this moment, Shen Ruoyun was chopping millet peppers, and quite a few peppers were still on her hands. She glanced at Qin Chuhuai.
"Brother Yanshu, could you help Ah Huai tie his apron? My hands are dirty."
Qin Chuhuai: "..."
"Pfft—" Ruan Huai chuckled unkindly, a hint of schadenfreude in his voice.
Lin Yanshu wiped his hands with a tissue, turned to the side, untied the ribbon on Qin Chuhuai's back, and then tied it in a new knot.
"How do you feel?"
Qin Chuhuai's face immediately fell, but he still thanked Lin Yanshu in a very polite manner.
Shen Ruoyun felt that it was a bit crowded with several people in the kitchen, so she took the ingredients she needed to prepare and turned to leave.
"Hey guys, help me peel some shrimp."
Shen Ruoyun carried a large bag of fresh shrimp and placed it on a small table.
Upon hearing Shen Ruoyun's words, Chen Jiaxi immediately put down what she was holding, dragged a stool over to sit down, put on gloves, and began peeling shrimp.
Lu Yan glanced at the shrimp, said nothing, and sat down opposite the two of them to peel them together.
Shen Ruoyun was peeling garlic when she looked up at the two of them and couldn't help but offer a reminder.
"Remember to remove the shrimp vein."
Chen Jiaxi twisted off the shrimp head and threw it into the trash can. He paused for a moment and turned to look at Lu Yan, who was doing the same thing.
What shrimp vein?
Seeing the two of them looking bewildered, Shen Ruoyun reached out and took a shrimp, pinched its head and twisted it a few times before slowly pulling it out.
In an instant, the shrimp head, along with a black vein, was detached from the shrimp body.
He held up the shrimp head in front of the two of them and said, "This black thing is the shrimp vein, which is the shrimp's excrement. If you don't remove it, it will get mixed with the shrimp meat later."
Upon hearing Shen Ruoyun's words, Chen Jiaxi and Lu Yan exchanged a glance, and immediately felt a chill run down their spines. They then began frantically trying to remove the shrimp veins.
Hot pot is convenient; you just need to prepare the ingredients.
Lin Yanshu was quite thoughtful; considering that some people don't eat spicy food, he prepared two pots of soup base.
One pot of mushroom soup, one pot of spicy soup.
"Those of you who can't handle spicy food, please sit over here." Lin Yanshu set out the soup pot.
Ruan Huai took out bowls and chopsticks and set them out. The others were not idle either; some took out dishes, and some moved chairs.
Once everything was ready, everyone gathered together.
Shen Ruoyun brought out a bowl of dipping sauce and saw that these people were still standing there.
Why aren't you sitting down?
Everyone: It's definitely because of where you sit.
Shen Ruojun had no idea what they were thinking.
He went over, pulled out the chair by the hot pot, and plopped down on it.
Seeing this, Lin Yanshu had a glimpse of their thoughts, but he didn't expose them and sat down opposite Shen Ruojun.
Chen Jiaxi was closer to Shen Ruoyun, so she immediately took the prime spot to Shen Ruoyun's right and even looked up at Lu Yan provocatively.
“Brother Yun, I also like spicy food, I’ll sit next to you!” Ruan Huai immediately pulled over his chair and was about to sit next to Shen Ruoyun.
Before they could even sit down, a chair was suddenly placed between them.
Qin Chuhuai sat down nonchalantly, while Ruan Huai stared wide-eyed, but couldn't retaliate.
She could only sit down angrily on the other side of Qin Chuhuai, secretly cursing him to get hemorrhoids.
Lu Yan walked over to the mushroom soup pot and sat down, his eyes seemingly unintentionally glancing at Shen Ruoyun.
Shen Ruoyun looked at the red chili peppers in front of her that had begun to bubble, and tightened her grip on the chopsticks in her hand.
Qin Chuhuai subtly shifted his position, moving even closer to Shen Ruojun.
Chen Jiaxi reached out and placed the warm water next to Shen Ruojun so that he could drink it whenever he wanted.
