Reborn in the 80s: Everyone Falls For Me
Chapter 170 - 169

Chapter 170: Chapter 169

Jin Ruiyang rarely drank white liquor like this, completely drunk.

Jin Yu, on the other hand, became more sober the more he drank.

Carrying Jin Ruiyang upstairs, with a "bang," he kicked his room door open. Jin Yu clicked his tongue and threw him onto the ground, "Bro, thanks."

Sitting in the living room, Jin Yu thought about many things, knowing that staying here would only cause him to lose control of the urge to settle accounts with Ye Xiangtian.

Lying on his back on the sofa, Jin Yu gazed intently at the ceiling.

He couldn’t let anything happen to him, he still had to take care of Xu Niannian.

Thinking of her tender and lovely appearance, looking so easily bullied, Jin Yu could no longer sit still and stood up to walk outside.

No, he had to return.

He had not yet taught Xu Niannian self-defense techniques. She was so charming and alluring, what if someone bullied her?

The more Jin Yu thought about it, the more anxious he became, wishing he had wings to fly back to her side immediately.

Boarding the train, Jin Yu was eager to return, covering his "thumping" heart and falling into deep thought. So, this was what having someone to care for felt like.

Xu Niannian... Xu Jiaojiao...

"Heh..." Jin Yu chuckled softly. Indeed, he couldn’t afford to have an accident, and as for that bastard Ye Xiangtian, he would find a way to deal with him.

But he wouldn’t continue to act impulsively, wouldn’t think of doing things that might harm the enemy but also hurt himself significantly.

Most of the work setting up the shop had been basically completed. Now what was needed was to write the menu and buy ingredients tomorrow.

Xu Niannian took a writing brush and started to write down names and prices on the menu.

The restaurant Xu Niannian planned to sell both noodles and rice dishes.

That way, when it got busy, Xu Zhiqiang could lend a hand if there were customers who wanted noodles.

She wrote eight dishes on the menu, and looking at her brush writing that hadn’t degraded, Xu Niannian revealed a satisfied smile.

For now, just eight dishes would do; any more would be too much to handle.

Among them were four meat dishes and four vegetable dishes, and then there was Butter Sauce Noodles.

Butter Sauce Noodles, as the name implies, is noodles cooked with butter sauce.

Due to the recent events, Xu Niannian hadn’t had time to make butter sauce, which was the second recipe in the space.

Although the butter sauce she made was very delicious whether mixed with noodles or rice, she still hadn’t met the standards required by the space.

To check if the cooked food met the standard, the space would see if the food could sink into the stream.

Not meeting the standards was already enough to make her salivate; reaching the standard would probably be overwhelmingly delicious.

Xu Niannian felt even more determined about this; she must make the butter sauce meet the standard, otherwise it would be a disgrace to her status as a gourmet and chef.

Most people in Nancheng County liked spicy food, but that doesn’t account for out-of-town visitors.

So Xu Niannian specially noted "very spicy, moderately spicy, mild" after each dish name.

In this way, there wouldn’t be too much deviation in taste preferences.

After finishing the menu, Xu Niannian suddenly sneezed several times.

"Oops, I hope I’m not catching a cold?"

After sneezing several times, her nose didn’t turn red, but her ears suddenly became hot and red.

"What’s going on?"

Massaging her ears and muttering to herself, Xu Niannian didn’t dwell on it and got into bed to sleep.

She had to run errands early the next morning, and there were still many things she hadn’t bought.

In the middle of the night, Xu Niannian, in a daze, felt an itch in her nose. She waved her hand uncomfortably and muttered discontentedly, "Stop bothering me."

Only when the ticklish sensation left did she contentedly continue her sleep.

And so, Jin Yu sat by her bedside, watching her innocent sleeping face.

In the pitch-dark room, a pair of deep eyes shone brightly, and moonlight pouring in through the window illuminated her stunningly beautiful features.

Looking at her delicate face, Jin Yu’s eyes grew deeper, struggling against the attraction he felt towards her.

Just as he got closer, Xu Niannian murmured his name in her sleep.

"Jin Yu..."

Her soft and gentle voice reached Jin Yu’s ears, and he looked at her in disbelief.

Suddenly, a sharp and delighted light burst from his dark eyes.

However, his happiness didn’t last long; the next second, her detestable little mouth blurted out three words.

"You asshole..."

Jin Yu’s smile at the corner of his mouth stiffened.

Immediately after, a string of curses reached his ears.

"Trash, beast, scum, trash... fucking bastard."

"..."

The little... mouth that wouldn’t stop cussing him even in dreams showed no sign of stopping.

Jin Yu endured, but ultimately couldn’t hold back and silenced her incessant chatter.

Xu Niannian in her sleep hummed softly.

The sound was soft and mushy, making Jin Yu’s ears turn red.

To avoid being discovered by her, Jin Yu eventually chose to knock her out.

With a skillful chop to her neck, he made sure it wouldn’t hurt too much and would put her into unconsciousness.

"Niannian... you’ve become my concern," Jin Yu murmured softly by her ear.

He held her all night, letting her rest securely in his embrace.

Only when the sky began to lighten did he gently get up from the bed and return to his own room.

Without Xu Niannian’s scent in the room, lying in bed, Jin Yu suddenly felt empty inside.

So, this is what it feels like to care for someone?

Because he knew she was that girl, he had resolved to marry her and had already considered her as his wife, hence the concern in his heart... was that it?

Do all men feel this way about their wives?

This feeling doesn’t seem too bad.

When Xu Niannian woke up, she was dazed.

Thinking of the dream she had last night, Xu Niannian foolishly bit her finger.

Then, without warning, she "owwooed," hugging the pillow and beating it wildly.

Dead Jin Yu, rotten Jin Yu, she dreamed of that dead man last night.

Furthermore, it was about things that had already happened.

She dreamed about the incident that took place on that small hill when she first encountered Jin Yu.

Only in the dream, her mindset had undergone earth-shaking changes from before.

Xu Niannian couldn’t help but cover her face, feeling utterly finished; she couldn’t go on thinking about it.

She felt pain on her lips, probably from gnawing on the bedpost in her dream last night.

Calmly putting on a skirt, Xu Niannian took a deep breath, OK, another busy day awaited, and she couldn’t let last night’s dream affect her.

Pulling open the door, ready to welcome a new day without Jin Yu, she smiled and curled her lips.

As Jin Yu was passing by her room, he stopped, greeted Xu Niannian casually, "Morning."

Her smile froze, and Xu Niannian became like a robot suddenly, her neck creaking as she turned to look around before slowly setting her gaze on Jin Yu to make sure she wasn’t hallucinating.

"Heh... hehe..." Xu Niannian laughed dryly, "Morning. When did you get back?"

Jin Yu swept a look over her bright eyes, his gaze darkening like ink, "Came back last night."

"Ah, last night?" Xu Niannian was surprised, "How come I didn’t know?"

"I came back too late and didn’t want to disturb you."

"Oh."

The usually articulate Xu Niannian found it awkward to talk to Jin Yu because of the dream she had last night.

Feeling incredibly embarrassed for having such a dream.

The two fell silent, and the air became awkward for a moment.

It was mostly Xu Niannian feeling awkward, whereas Jin Yu was just captivated by her.

Realizing the silence had gone on too long, Jin Yu snapped back to reality.

Xu Niannian was looking down, her toe scraping the floor.

Seeing this, Jin Yu broke the silence, "What are your plans for today?"

He knew she would be very busy these next few days with the shop.

He hadn’t been to the shop yet and didn’t know what it was like inside.

Xu Niannian belatedly reacted with an "Ah" and looked up to meet Jin Yu’s profound gaze, finally realizing he was asking her.

"Nothing much, just to buy some ingredients and some kitchen utensils."

"I’ll come with you," Jin Yu said bluntly.

Xu Niannian waved her hands hastily, "No need, I can handle it myself."
