Su Bai was downstairs, looking at the heartwarming text message on his phone.
The corners of his mouth unconsciously turned upwards.
"Little glutton."
He muttered under his breath, a sound only he could hear.
Then, he began to pack up the steamer.
He checked the refrigerator, finding that there were still quite a few ingredients left.
He then went out, taking his luggage from the car and carrying the gift box back into the house.
Time flew by.
When the camera was covered.
The second day of the Heartwarming Cottage live stream was officially over.
Du Hai Tao and the others in the observation room bid farewell to everyone.
Inside the cottage.
Everyone gradually drifted off to sleep.
..
The next day.
The sun rose in the east, and the morning mist lifted.
As usual, Su Bai got up early, greeted the rising sun, and went for a run, his footsteps leaving dew on the path.
After returning.
He expertly started cooking breakfast.
Today, Sun Le Yan woke up a little later than yesterday.
If it weren't for work, she probably would have stayed in bed for another three hours!
Even delicious food wasn't enough to entice her.
Her eyelids half-open, she dragged her tired body to the table in a daze.
"So sleepy?"
"What time did you go to bed last night?"
Su Bai asked with a chuckle.
However, he received no answer.
Sun Le Yan nodded off, just about to fall asleep again.
This wouldn't do!
She needed to wake up.
Su Bai had a flash of inspiration and thought of a fun idea.
He didn't intentionally disturb Sun Le Yan.
He simply walked upstairs and quietly retrieved a small speaker from his room.
Then, he returned to the kitchen.
He placed the speaker on the kitchen counter.
Just as the viewers in the live stream, who were watching the early morning scene, were confused by this action.
Su Bai used his actions to explain to everyone.
He took out his phone, connected it to the speaker, and tapped on the screen.
Buzz!
A crackling sound of electricity first filled the air.
Immediately afterward, the melodious sounds of a wooden fish and a bell, intertwined with lyrics, echoed out.
"Namo Tathāgata Ārya Guānyīn,"
"Sāgaravara Belejiān, Yuhala Jiāyá,"
"Dàtá Gátáyà, Ālá Há Dì,"
Deep and powerful yet full of energy!
Elegant and full of meaning!
The profound and immersive Great Compassion Mantra, which seemed to make one's understanding of life more profound, suddenly filled the entire cottage!
"Bud... Buddha, where did the Buddha come from?!"
Suddenly.
The haunting sound of the mantra jolted Sun Le Yan, who was sitting on the chair, awake. She stood up abruptly.
She almost instinctively clasped her hands together and bowed respectfully.
She even instinctively checked if her hair was still there.
For a moment, she dreamed that she had shaved her head and entered a nunnery.
Now, she was wide awake!
Completely wide awake!
Upon realizing that it was Su Bai playing the music.
She stood up and was about to confront Su Bai for playing the mantra.
"What are you doing?! You're playing the Great Compassion Mantra so early in the morning?!"
"I'm a believer in Buddhism. I bought meat this morning, and I need to offer it to the Buddha. Buddhists can't kill living things. I need to thank you for your 110 yuan last night so that I can renew my Green Diamond membership. Amitabha Buddha."
"Believe in Buddhism?! I'll have you believe in Buddhism. Did the Buddha tell you that not only are you offering meat this morning, but you're also offering yourself?!"
Their conversation completely sent the live stream into a frenzy.
——A Thousand and One Ways to Use Green Diamond! Hahahahaha!!
——Su Bai: My bad, brothers and sisters, I'm probably going to become a relic!
——This female Bodhisattva, do not kill those who belong to the Buddha's realm. Be kind, be kind.
——I can't just listen lying down. I need to find a cushion and meditate.
——If it doesn't work, we can shave our heads?
——I can't stop laughing. I've got a good day's worth of happiness just from this morning.
........
The morning chaos had become a habit.
After scolding Su Bai.
Sun Le Yan was now awake and no longer sleepy.
Breakfast was also ready.
Steamed dumplings, custard buns, and fresh porridge were all ready.
The food was as delicious as ever.
However, Sun Le Yan, who was holding a bowl and drinking porridge, kept her eyes fixed on Su Bai.
If looks could kill.
Su Bai probably wouldn't have known how many reincarnations he'd gone through.
"I'm going to buy a notebook when I get back today."
"Why?"
"I'm going to write your name in it and see whether your Buddha is more powerful than my Death God."
Sun Le Yan said ominously.
Making Su Bai flinch.
The Death Note, huh? ....!
He was defeated.
Completely defeated.
Fortunately, Su Bai's culinary skills were unmatched. As Sun Le Yan continued to eat, her anger dissipated.
After eating and drinking to their heart's content, this time, Sun Le Yan volunteered to wash the dishes and do the dishes.
Su Bai readily agreed and sat at the dining table, quietly watching Sun Le Yan clean up.
Sun Le Yan, washing the dishes, looked up at Su Bai.
"Let me ask you two questions."
"Mm-hmm, go ahead."
Su Bai nodded, anticipating the questions.
"Between me and Weng Qing Ya, who is prettier."
Alright, he didn't anticipate that.
Su Bai was quite helpless. Why was she asking this kind of question so early in the morning?
And why did he feel like he had heard this question before? Had he really heard it before?
"Don't answer like you did last time!"
Sun Le Yan seemed to realize her mistake and quickly added a condition.
Leaving Su Bai speechless again.
So, she knew she had asked before, and she wanted to ask again?
"Why do you even need to compare."
"I want to know."
Sun Le Yan looked up with a hint of smugness, as if her request was non-negotiable.
Su Bai, without missing a beat, said,
"Are you obedient?"
"Obed... obedient? What kind of answer is that?"
Sun Le Yan was a little surprised. What did that have to do with anything?
But then, she understood.
Su Bai continued slowly,
"If you're obedient, we won't compare."
Crack!
The chopsticks she was washing clattered against the sink a few times.
However, luckily, it didn't cause much of a stir.
After all, Sun Le Yan's real goal wasn't the comparison.
She was simply bored and wanted to find something to talk about.
Of course, she also wanted to test Su Bai. If he cared about people, how would he show it.
Therefore, the focus was on the second question.
"I'll let you off this time."
"Second question, if your future partner gets their period and has a stomachache, what would you do to comfort them?"
After asking the question.
She looked at Su Bai expectantly, wanting to hear his answer.
This was something Ruan Xiao Mi had taught her yesterday. She had stayed up late chatting with Ruan Xiao Mi.
Although their conversation was mostly random, they still got this key piece of advice.
If you want to know how a person cares about others, ask them this!
So, she wanted to try it out.
Without much hesitation, Su Bai immediately responded.
"I would say: 'I'll warm her up all day'."
"???"
"What do you mean?"
"Don't you understand?"
"It's what those marketing accounts write, you know. When your partner is feeling uncomfortable, a low EQ response would be 'Drink more hot water', and a high EQ response would be 'I'll warm you up all day'."
"I'm a high EQ person, so of course, I would say that."
After saying that, Su Bai took out his phone, scrolled through a few posts, and walked over to show Sun Le Yan.
"......"
Sun Le Yan was completely speechless.
The barrage of comments in the live stream exploded.
——Holy crap, warm her up all day! I'm dying of laughter, hahahahaha!!!
——Sun Le Yan could never have imagined that there would be such a bizarre answer in this world. A truly high EQ! So high!
——When confessing to a girl, low EQ: 'I like you', high EQ: 'These three sentences'!
——Holy cow, bro, I'm touched. I'll marry you!
——Phahahaha...!!! Too funny!!!
