The heavens set sail from the courtyard

When Wang Gang received a call from Mi Lai, he figured he had nothing else to do, so he took a taxi to her house and decided to see how Lu Tao and Xia Lin fared.

Wang Gang originally thought that Mi Lai wanted to celebrate the problems in Lu Tao and Xia Lin's relationship, but when he came to Mi Lai's house, he found that her expression was a little strange.

Not quite happy, nor quite sad, Mi Lai acted as if nothing was wrong as she cooked in the kitchen.

"Gao Qiang, could you bring me the vinegar?"

Mi Lai seems to be making cucumber salad, but I can't find the vinegar anywhere.
Wang Gang walked into the kitchen and took out the vinegar directly from the cabinet.

"Why did you decide to cook so late at night?" Wang Gang asked curiously.

"I suddenly got hungry and wanted to make something, but then I realized we didn't even have a pack of instant noodles at home. Didn't you buy any junk food yesterday?" Mi Lai poured some vinegar into a dish.

"You said it's junk food, how could I possibly buy it?" Wang Gang snatched the vinegar bottle, speechless. "Do you want to pour out half a bottle of vinegar? We can't finish this cucumber."

Mi Lai stuck out her tongue and said, "I've never cooked before. You said you'd teach me, but you turned around and ran off to Sister Manny's place."

Wang Gang raised an eyebrow and said, "Manny's father is dying."

"Ah!" Miley exclaimed in surprise, "Is Sister Manny alright?!"

Wang Gang threw everything Mi Lai had made into the trash can and said, "She's alright, not too sad."

Miley said, "Sister Manny is quite pitiful. After her father passed away, that woman is the only family she has left."

“You seem to know quite a bit about her family.” Wang Gang took a bag of noodles from the cupboard and said, “I bought noodles yesterday, I’ll make you some.”

“Sure, make a couple of side dishes while you’re at it,” Mi Lai said without any hesitation.

"Alright! I bought quite a lot of groceries yesterday."

Wang Gang busied himself in the kitchen, and Mi Lai was also busy helping out with great enthusiasm. However, she had never been in the kitchen before, and her efforts often made things worse.

"Miss, why don't you go and rest in the living room?" Wang Gang said, speechless, as he saw Mi Lai handing him sugar instead of salt.

"No way! Let me help you." Mi Lai said enthusiastically, "When I was little, my parents cooked in the kitchen like this, and I always thought that when I grew up, I would cook with my husband."

"If you keep helping, we won't have anything to eat tomorrow morning either." Wang Gang shooed Mi Lai out of the kitchen.

"Gao Qiang, I just saw Xia Lin and Lu Tao arguing," Mi Lai said to Wang Gang from outside the kitchen.

"Hmph!" Wang Gang laughed, "Aren't you feeling great now?"

Mila leaned against the doorframe and sighed, "I thought I would be happy, but it turned out to be just okay."

As Wang Gang sliced ​​the tomatoes, he laughed and said, "That means you're about to let go of Lu Tao."

Mi Lai was taken aback and asked in confusion, "Put Lu Tao down? No way!"

Wang Gang said, "Now, you don't think about Lu Tao all day long anymore, do you?"

Mi Lai nodded and said, "Yes! I used to think about Lu Tao all day long, wondering if he went to school, if he ate, if he played ball, or if he went to the internet cafe."

While busy working, Wang Gang chatted with Mi Lai and quickly prepared two cold dishes and two bowls of noodles.

“You used to revolve around Lu Tao all day long; your whole life revolved around him,” Wang Gang said as he brought out the noodles. “You were always Lu Tao’s biggest fan.”

Miley frowned and asked, "Did I?"

Wang Gang laughed and said, "What do you think?"

Mi Lai retorted, "Back then we were dating. Isn't it normal for boyfriends and girlfriends to be inseparable?"

Wang Gang shook his head and said, "To be precise, you used to be infatuated with Lu Tao, but Lu Tao didn't care much about you."

Mi Lai sighed, "Looking back now, it's like I was under a spell back then. I don't know why I liked Lu Tao so much."

Wang Gang laughed and said, "Love makes people blind. It's not too late for you to wake up now."

Mi Lai asked doubtfully, "So, does that mean I really don't love Lu Tao anymore?" Wang Gang shrugged and said, "That's a question for you to answer, but I think you're definitely more rational than before."

Miley sighed, "Was I really stupid before?"

Wang Gang served the dishes and said, "He's more than just stupid, he's practically trying to throw himself at Lu Tao."

Mi Lai sat down at the dining table and said, "So, according to you, I was the one who was being pathetic and pestering Lu Tao all along!"

Wang Gang handed the chopsticks to Mi Lai and said, "You said that, I didn't."

Mi Lai said angrily, "Fine! So, in your eyes, I used to be the kind of girl who would throw herself at you."

Wang Gang retorted, "Aren't you the same?"

Enraged, Mi Lai suddenly ran over, grabbed Wang Gang's arm, and bit it hard.

"Hiss! Are you a dog? Why did you bite me?" Wang Gang pulled his arm away and shouted.

"Who told you to insult me?" Milai snorted and sat back down in her seat.

"You have no conscience. I helped you so much, and you still bite me." Wang Gang looked at the teeth marks on his arm and said speechlessly.

"Now you know what it means to be difficult to deal with women and petty men," Mi Lai said smugly.

"If you're so capable, then don't eat the noodles I made." Wang Gang reached out to take back the bowl in front of Mi Lai.

"Pah!" Mi Lai suddenly spat into the bowl, then grinned at Wang Gang and said, "Aren't you afraid I'll bite you again?"

Wang Gang withdrew his hand, shook his head, and said, "Alright! I won't tease you anymore. Hurry up and eat your noodles! Otherwise they'll get soggy."

Mi Lai smugly picked up a mouthful of noodles and ate it without fear of burning herself.

"I didn't realize you were such a good cook. No wonder you're so confident in teaching me how to cook." Mi Lai praised Wang Gang's culinary skills.

"You really should learn to cook when you have time. You'll be living alone in the future, so you need to learn to take care of yourself." Wang Gang also started eating.

"Why don't you move in with me?" Mi Lai suddenly suggested. "I won't charge you rent, as long as you cook for me every day."

"You wish," Wang Gang flatly refused. "I don't want to be your nanny. If you really can't, just hire a housekeeper. It's not like we don't have the money."

Miley said enthusiastically, "Auntie is nowhere near as useful as you, always available whenever I call."

Wang Gang rolled his eyes and said, "We're alone in a room, aren't you afraid something will happen? I'm more afraid your dad will cause me trouble!"

Miley couldn't help but laugh when she remembered her father following her in his car earlier that day.

"Your dad must have misunderstood. I'm your boyfriend. You can explain it to him when you have the chance."

"Tch, I wouldn't even look at you," Milai said with a look of disgust.

Wang Gang raised an eyebrow and said, "You're acting like I'd even look at you."

Mi Lai suddenly put down her chopsticks and said defiantly, "What do you mean? You don't even like me? What's wrong with me?!"

Wang Gang scoffed, "You're quite nice, but I'm not very interested in women who can't tell the difference between front and back."

Mi Lai became even angrier upon hearing this, and stood up to question him: "What do you mean by not knowing front and back? I'm a skinny beauty, don't you understand?"

Wang Gang glanced at Mi Lai's unremarkable chest and said casually, "If you think it's good, then it's good."

Mi Lai got even angrier, ran across to the other side, plopped down on Wang Gang's lap, and wrapped her arms around his neck.

"Let me show you my charm."

Mi Lai suddenly kissed Wang Gang's lips! (End of Chapter)
