Chapter 228: Chapter 227 This is Life

Yang Yi had some oatmeal porridge and then went to sleep until Xiao Ran poked him awake.

"Stop sleeping, get up to change the dressing."

Yang Yi opened his eyes and rubbed them with his left hand. Although his vision was still a bit blurry, he could see Xiao Ran standing beside his bed with a plate in hand.

"Change the dressing? Aren’t we going to a hospital or clinic to do that?"

Xiao Ran, with an impatient look, said, "Why go to the hospital for something so simple."

The wounds had been stitched up, and all that needed to be done during the healing process was change the dressing daily to prevent infection, which wasn’t too difficult. So, Yang Yi stopped talking and doubtfully took off his clothes.

"Not a bad physique."

Xiao Ran suddenly blurted out while holding a cotton ball with medicine, and Yang Yi couldn’t help feeling a bit proud as he said, "Of course, haven’t you seen how I... Ah!"

Yang Yi let out a scream of agony. Xiao Ran stopped her hand movement and looked puzzled. "Does it hurt?"

Yang Yi said angrily, "What a stupid question! Are you changing the dressing or trying to kill me? It’s killing me! Be gentle, please, be gentle."

Xiao Ran frowned and said, "How can such a big man be so wimpy? Can you handle it or not? Suck it up even if it hurts. I’ve never done this before, so bear with it, and stop yelling. The more you yell, the worse it hurts."

If you’ve been rescued and taken care of by someone, then don’t make such a fuss.

So Yang Yi clenched his teeth and didn’t make a sound.

Xiao Ran’s hands were quick, and after treating the wounds on his arm and chest, she said with impatience, "Your leg, hurry up."

Yang Yi was sweating from the pain and said weakly, "You go out. I’ll take off my clothes."

"Such a hassle."

Xiao Ran placed the plate with the medicine on Yang Yi’s bed and said, "You do the dressing yourself. I’m going to cook."

Yang Yi asked in surprise, "You can cook? What’s for dinner?"

Xiao Ran shrugged and said, "I kind of want noodles. I’m having hot oil noodles."

Yang Yi immediately perked up and said, "Hot oil noodles? That’s great! Make extra, thank you, thank you."

Ever since he entered prison, no, ever since he left China, Yang Yi had not eaten anything to his taste. Although Danny’s fancy restaurant was good, it wasn’t the flavor Yang Yi was used to. Now, he really wanted to eat noodles.

Xiao Ran left Yang Yi’s room to cook. Yang Yi changed the dressing himself; when he did it, he was much more gentle. It still hurt, but definitely not as much as when Xiao Ran did it.

After changing the dressing, Yang Yi dragged himself into a wheelchair and left the bedroom. He saw Xiao Ran in the kitchen kneading dough, her movements looking pretty skilled; the results should be decent.

"Xiao Ran, weren’t you raised in the United States since you were a child? How can you make hot oil noodles, and more importantly, why would you like them?"

Without turning her head, Xiao Ran said, "Don’t want to talk about it."

Yang Yi sheepishly shut his mouth. Waiting for Xiao Ran to finish cooking was a bit boring, so he turned on the TV.

After a while, Yang Yi heard the sizzle of hot oil, and then he smelled the rich fragrance.

Xiao Ran brought over two bowls of noodles. After placing one bowl in front of Yang Yi, she immediately grabbed the remote and switched to the channel she wanted to watch.

Yang Yi’s bowl had some chopped green onion on top, while Xiao Ran’s had chili powder. Yang Yi swallowed and whispered softly, "Actually, I also like spice. Hot oil noodles without chili feel like something’s missing. Just not the same without the chili kick."

Without looking up, Xiao Ran said, "Your wound’s not healed."

Holding chopsticks in his left hand, Yang Yi put on a pleading smile and said, "It’s fine, I’m not scared. Give me some chili powder too."

"Actually, there’s no chili left in the kitchen. Barely enough for one. It’s not enough for both of us."

"How about we swap? I haven’t touched my bowl."

Xiao Ran turned to look at Yang Yi and said calmly, "Eat if you want, otherwise get lost."

Yang Yi sighed, an expression of helplessness on his face, "The first time we met, we also had noodles, but back then you weren’t like this, so gentle, sigh..."

"That was when I wanted to approach you proactively, now it’s you who have to beg me to take care of you, don’t keep dreaming of good times."

So there’s no chili, no problem, it actually still tasted great. Although Yang Yi was holding his chopsticks with his left hand, he wasn’t eating slowly at all.

"Can I have another bowl?"

"No more, I only made this much, you haven’t had enough?"

"Well, it’s mainly because what you made is too delicious."

"Flattery will get you nowhere, if you’re not full, just go hungry."

Yang Yi sighed and said, "The first time I saw you, I was totally struck by you, a beauty, a great beauty, a 100% goddess! Now..."

"Huh?"

Yang Yi looked at Xiao Ran, his face dead serious, "Now you’re a ’goddess with a temper’."

Xiao Ran’s eyebrows went up, and Yang Yi hurriedly made a placating smile, "Just kidding, just kidding..."

Xiao Ran also started laughing, then she said softly, "Just wait."

Yang Yi didn’t know why he liked to tease Xiao Ran so much, even though he knew the situation was not in his favor at the moment, he couldn’t help wanting to tease her.

But Xiao Ran had only said "just wait" and that was the end of it. Yang Yi was on tenterhooks for a while, but Xiao Ran finished her noodles, cleaned up the dishes, and didn’t end up doing anything to him in the end.

After eating, Xiao Ran ignored Yang Yi, went to her room, turned on the computer, and started surfing the web. Yang Yi, who had regained control of the remote, watched for a while, then heard a familiar sound coming from the computer’s speakers.

Xiao Ran was actually playing a game, and it was Warcraft III, the game he was most familiar with.

Yang Yi perked up, wheeled himself over to Xiao Ran’s side, and Xiao Ran only glanced at him but didn’t tell him to leave.

Xiao Ran was playing the Human Race, Yang Yi said excitedly, "What’s the opponent playing?"

"Orc Race."

"Oh, that’s going to be a good fight."

After watching for a while, Yang Yi couldn’t help but say, "Blademaster is definitely going to harass, don’t fight, wait for the Mountain King before you attack that creep, ahh! There, let the Blademaster steal it!"

Xiao Ran’s Archmage, which was attacking a large creep, got robbed by the Blademaster. Not only did it lose the experience, but it was also terribly hacked away by the Blademaster, causing Yang Yi to shout out from the sidelines.

Finally, after Xiao Ran’s hero was killed by the Blademaster once again, she typed ’gg’ and exited the game.

Yang Yi exclaimed anxiously, "Why did you ’gg’ just like that, you obviously could have still fought! Your team wasn’t affected, you had three bases up..."

Xiao Ran turned to look at Yang Yi and asked, "Do you play StarCraft?"

"StarCraft? I don’t know how to play that, I only play Warcraft, I’m telling you, back then I was unbeatable in the whole school, what are you doing?"

Xiao Ran ignored Yang Yi, quit Warcraft, and logged into StarCraft II.

"Why aren’t you playing Warcraft anymore?"

"Because you’re too annoying!"

Xiao Ran logged into StarCraft, matched with an opponent, and chose to play Protoss against Zerg.

Yang Yi held back for a while, but finally he couldn’t resist anymore and blurted out loudly, "Stop harassing, your micro won’t beat his, hurry up and expand, if you don’t expand now you’ll never be able to."

Finally, Xiao Ran couldn’t take it anymore, she turned to him with a face of exasperation and snapped, "I thought you said you didn’t know how to play StarCraft!"

"But I know how to watch..."
