Chapter 87: Overdoing It
"I don't know much about your taste. I thought Lin Qiye had been in the base for such a long time, and he would know your taste more or less. So I thought about asking him here and then making some dishes you like."
"I didn't tell you in advance, which seems to be a bit counterproductive. Can you please not be angry?"
"I can really assure you that I didn't ask Lin Qiye to come and help me make these. I made them all by myself. Lin Qiye just told me how to make those dishes."
Bronya smiled at Mond, turned around and looked at Lin Qiye with a gloomy face.
"I know I didn't doubt you from the beginning, but I don't want to meet someone I don't want to see when I eat."
"Since the meal is ready now, can you let him leave?"
After hearing this, Mond looked at Lin Qiye next to him a little embarrassedly.
Lin Qiye, who is good at seeing through people's hearts, immediately understood what he wanted to say next after seeing Mond's eyes.
"Anyway, I just came here to help you. Now that you have done all these, there is no point for me to stay here."
"Next time, if you don't know how to do something, you can go to Cocolia's house to find me, and I will teach you there."
"I have something to do today, so I will leave first."
After saying this, Lin Qiye put down the apron in his hand and turned away.
"Don't let Lin Qiye come to my house next time. Although my relationship with Cocolia is pretty good, if he comes, it will be bad if someone with ulterior motives sees and uses it to sow discord between me and Cocolia."
"I know you are kind, but sometimes kindness can do bad things. Besides, Lin Qiye's way of dealing with the relationship with Cocolia before was not appropriate. I don't like him that way."
"It's better not to meet than to hate each other, right?"
Mond, who really experienced the good intentions but bad results, scratched his head embarrassedly and lowered his head dejectedly.
"I'm sorry, I just wanted you to be happier when eating. I didn't think so much at the beginning."
"But don't worry, this won't happen again next time."
After Bronya nodded, the two sat at the dining table and started eating.
Looking at the neatly tidied room, Bronya was very satisfied.
"Mond, I have many random small tests here. You will pass today's small test."
"As long as you can pass 10 random small tests in a row, the two of us will be together. I will keep my promise and will never lie to you."
Mond was so excited when he heard the news. He never thought that the first small test would be so easy.
"Bronya, can you tell me the specific scope of the next one? What is it for? You can tell me, so that I can have a better understanding and be more fully prepared, don't you think?"
"I have already said it is random, what is it? I am not sure myself, I will wait and see."
"If you can really pass my tests in a random situation, it will be considered as missing a question if I tell you in advance now, and it will not count. If you think that random tests that do not count are interesting, then I can tell you in advance, but this time it will not count."
"Forget it, don't tell me any news, I will feel it myself at that time."
"I have already said that I will impress you with my actions, and I will definitely do so, so don't worry."
Mond, who said this with confidence, did not expect that because of his behavior today, he hurt Lin Qiye badly.
"Cocolia, why are you still sitting here? Haven't you heard what's going on outside?"
"Everyone is saying that Lin Qiye sneaked into Bronya's house today. What do you think they, a man and a woman, are trying to do in broad daylight? I think you should know it well."
"Do you know about this? If you don't know, make a decision as soon as possible."
"After all, you can't let the people in the entire base laugh at you. If you do this, it will only make other people in the base more unscrupulous, and then the stability of our entire base will be difficult to maintain."
The man who rushed over to complain to Cocolia gave him a cold look when he saw Lin Qiye open the door.
"Lin Qiye, what did you do when you went out just now?"
He took out a piece of bread that he had worked so hard to make today from behind, and Lin Qiye handed it to Cocolia like offering a treasure.
"I've always said I'd make this for you, but I never had the chance. Today, when I went to Bronya's house to help Mond cook, I found that the temperature was just right, so I made you a piece of bread and brought it back. You can try it. It's really delicious."
"And I was at Bronya's house all day today. Is there something going on? I remember that I explained everything to the Antimatter Corps when I left the base."
The man who was stirring up trouble felt a little embarrassed when he saw Lin Qiye's frank appearance.
"Cocolia, what I said to you just now was also heard from others. As for whether it is true or not, it depends on you to judge."
"You can think carefully about whether the relationship between you two has loosened. If so, you'd better be more vigilant about these things. If not, just treat it as a fart I just said."
After saying this, the man ran away quickly as if there was something dirty chasing him from behind.
"What's wrong with that guy? He looked quite serious when I saw him coming to see you on weekdays, but why did he become shifty when he saw me come in? Could it be that he did something bad and wants you to protect him?"
"Cocolia, I have to tell you that you have to make your identity clear now. You are the great guardian of the entire base, and you must not do anything that has anything to do with corruption and abuse of power. If that happens, I will think I have made a mistake. I know you don't want to disappoint me the most."
