Chapter 247 Steak

Zhou Yi’s training continued. Meanwhile, Kotana and Hannah’s university also had its holiday. Hannah had already planned to travel, so as soon as the holiday arrived, she had a meal with Zhou Yi and Kotana, and then set off with longing for a beautiful love to be encountered on the journey.

Kotana joked that it was a “European sex tour.”

After the holiday, Kotana didn’t need to stay here any longer, so she also went home.

Now Zhou Yi was the only resident in this house.

Although it was freer this way, Zhou Yi sometimes felt a little lonely.

Especially after training all day and returning to his residence exhausted, only a dark and empty room greeted him, which didn’t feel too good.

At this time, Zhou Yi had to strengthen his spirit and make a simple dinner to fill his stomach.

Why not eat dinner at the training base?

Because it was now the holiday, and it was already very good that the training base could make lunch for Zhou Yi alone. Dinner was not provided at all, so Zhou Yi had to come back hungry. After eating, Zhou Yi often didn’t want to wash the pots and pans, and went straight to his room to lie down.

At times like this, Zhou Yi felt that living alone was a bit inconvenient.

In the past, when Kotana or Hannah were around, he could freeload off them if he couldn’t take care of cooking. Or when the training intensity wasn’t too high, he could go out to eat. But now, after returning from the training base, he was too tired to move, let alone go out to eat again.

In terms of food, he could only keep it as simple as possible. Fortunately, the lunch he ate in the training base restaurant was nutritious, balanced, rich, and the portion was sufficient.

But it would be better if the nutrition of dinner could keep up as well.

These days of wandering around the house in his underwear lasted for almost a week.

Until one day, Zhou Yi finished training and returned to his residence exhausted. He opened the door with his key and found that something seemed different.

He took a closer look and found that the house had become clean and tidy.

You must know that when he lived there, the house was like a pigsty. It wasn’t that Zhou Yi was lazy, nor that he didn’t like hygiene, but that he didn’t have the time or energy to clean. So clothes were thrown everywhere, even underwear. The kitchen sink was full of pots and pans that he hadn’t had time to wash in the past few days.

But today, as soon as he came in, Zhou Yi didn’t see the dirty T-shirt he had thrown on the floor when he left the house today, nor did he see the pile of smelly socks and shorts on the sofa.

There was nothing on the floor except what should be there, clean. The original things on the sofa were gone, tidy.

For a moment, Zhou Yi even thought he had gone to the wrong house.

At this moment, Kotana poked her head out of the kitchen and met Zhou Yi’s eyes.

“Huh?” Zhou Yi was surprised when he saw Kotana. “What are you doing here?”

“Do you have a problem with that?” Kotana stood out, holding a knife in her hand.

“Uh, no, no problem.” Zhou Yi waved his hand quickly. Just kidding, it’s best not to provoke someone with a weapon in their hand. “I’m just curious… university hasn’t started yet, right? Shouldn’t you be living at home?”

“I had a fight with my mom, so I came back to live here.”

“You guys again…” Zhou Yi looked helpless.

When he was still living in Mark’s house, he had heard Kotana and her mother, Mrs. Wagner, argue more than once. Basically, Kotana would disappear for a long time after each argument. Later, after Zhou Yi lived with Kotana, he knew where she went during that time.

As for the content of their mother-daughter quarrels, it was all about family ethics. Mrs. Wagner was a very controlling woman. She was the head of the family, and the taciturn husband, Old Wagner, was a nice guy, but he didn’t have much presence.

A strong mother gave birth to a strong daughter, so it was normal to have conflicts. Some small things in life, as long as the two of them were stubborn, they could quarrel. At first, Zhou Yi felt very embarrassed, but later he got used to it, like Mark, who was carefree. Even if they were arguing downstairs and the floor was shaking, Zhou Yi could still play games with Mark calmly.

So now that he heard that Kotana had quarreled with Mrs. Wagner again, Zhou Yi wasn’t surprised, just helpless.

“Have you eaten out?” Kotana didn’t mind Zhou Yi’s attitude, but asked Zhou Yi.

“No…” Zhou Yi shook his head.

“How about steak?”

“Huh?” Zhou Yi didn’t understand.

“I’m asking you how about steak for dinner?” Kotana didn’t know if Zhou Yi was pretending to be confused, and suppressed the urge to roll her eyes, and explained to Zhou Yi again.

“Ah, no problem, that’s great, I haven’t had beef at night for a long time…” Zhou Yi became happy. Although it wasn’t a good thing that Kotana quarreled with her mother, he could eat something good because of it. “I can only eat Italian pasta with tomato sauce.”

“I can tell.” Kotana curled her lips. “The kitchen trash can is full of pasta and tomato sauce packaging bags.”

This made Zhou Yi feel embarrassed and reminded him of the dirty things in the kitchen sink, so he rushed to the kitchen quickly.

Kotana naturally knew what he was going to do and said, spreading her hands, “Don’t look for it, I washed it.”

“Uh, thank you.” Kotana was so nice today that Zhou Yi didn’t know what to say.

“You’re welcome, if I don’t wash it, I can’t cook dinner in there.” Kotana didn’t mean to help Zhou Yi at all.

Zhou Yi smiled awkwardly and asked, “What about the clothes outside…”

“They’re all in your room.”

Zhou Yi was a little disappointed, he thought Kotana had washed them all for him.

But it’s okay not to wash them, there are still a few pairs of underwear that haven’t been washed, Zhou Yi really couldn’t imagine Kotana washing his underwear…

With someone cooking, Zhou Yi didn’t have to worry about food. He threw down his bag and went to his room to take out the dirty clothes and stuffed them into the washing machine. While the washing machine was running, he started cleaning his room—Kotana cleaned the living room, kitchen, toilet, and her own room, but it was impossible for her to clean Zhou Yi’s room, so Zhou Yi had to clean this part himself.

Although he was very tired after a day of training, as soon as he thought about being able to eat fragrant steak in a while, a force surged from Zhou Yi’s body, and he didn’t feel tired when he cleaned the house.

After doing all this, Kotana had just put the steak on the table.

When Zhou Yi saw the steaming, fragrant steak, he couldn’t help but go up to it, but Kotana glared at him: “Don’t you think you should wash your hands before eating?”

“Uh.” Zhou Yi also remembered that his hands were dirty after cleaning the room, so he had to obediently wash his hands.

After washing his hands, he went to the kitchen to help Kotana with the dishes, in short, he behaved very diligently.

After eating Italian pasta with tomato sauce for almost two weeks, Zhou Yi felt that Kotana, who was willing to make steak for him, was simply an angel. In the past, he would ridicule and quarrel, but now he wouldn’t at all. Or rather… he didn’t dare, he was afraid that he could only watch Kotana eat steak.

※※※

Due to excessive physical consumption and Kotana’s delicious cooking, Zhou Yi devoured it and quickly finished the steak on his plate, and even ate all the other side dishes.

Then he stared blankly at Kotana’s plate.

Carefully observing Kotana’s movements of cutting the steak, watching her use a knife and fork in coordination to cut a small piece from a large piece of steak, then dipping it slightly in the gravy, then lightly opening her red lips, and using a fork to put the small piece of beef covered with gravy into her mouth, closing her mouth, holding the beef and the fork, and then gently pulling the fork out from it…

Zhou Yi couldn’t help but swallow.

Kotana, who was chewing, stopped after hearing this sound, and then looked at Zhou Yi: “Want more?”

Zhou Yi waved his hand quickly: “No, no, no…”

“Oh.” Kotana lowered her head and continued to cut her steak.

Zhou Yi was just being polite, but he didn’t expect Kotana to believe it so easily, he couldn’t say anything else, he could only continue to watch Kotana eat meat.

After eating two more pieces, Kotana put down her knife and fork and said, “I’m full.”

“Huh? But you haven’t finished eating…” Zhou Yi was very surprised.

“I can’t eat anymore.” Kotana began to wipe her mouth with a napkin.

“That…” Zhou Yi’s eyes were completely attracted by the remaining half of the steak. He was actually not full. He needed to replenish a lot of energy for such high-intensity training every day.

“If you don’t mind, take it and eat it.” After saying that, Kotana got up to clean the dishes.

Zhou Yi hesitated for a while, and finally took Kotana’s plate and put the steak inside into his own plate…

Next was the sound of cutting meat and the sound of devouring.

Kotana, who was holding her empty plate and turning to go to the kitchen, couldn’t help but curl up the corners of her mouth when she heard these movements.

※※※

When Kotana had finished washing the dishes, Zhou Yi was also done eating. He walked into the kitchen with his plate. Kotana originally wanted to take it, but Zhou Yi went around her: “I’ll do it myself, I’ll do it myself.”

As he spoke, he walked to the sink and started washing the dishes himself.

Seeing that Zhou Yi was really doing it himself, Kotana didn’t leave, but stood beside him, watching him with interest.

“What’s so good about washing dishes?” Zhou Yi felt a little uncomfortable being watched.

“Well, there’s nothing good about ordinary people washing dishes. But it’s a bit interesting for a big star to wash dishes.” Kotana teased.

“It’s as if stars don’t need to eat, drink, or shit.” Zhou Yi rolled his eyes. “Stars are also people, okay? Stars are like you, living on this earth, breathing air, eating food and drinking water, and also having to poop, pee, and sleep. Don’t demonize us!”

Hearing Zhou Yi defend him so seriously, Kotana laughed.

Actually, after quarreling with her mother, she was in a bad mood.

Returning to the rented house and seeing the house in a mess, her mood couldn’t be good.

After patiently cleaning the living room, kitchen, and toilet that she wanted to use, Kotana was just about to make dinner for herself when Zhou Yi came back.

Thinking of the tomato sauce packaging bags in the trash can, Kotana also felt that Zhou Yi’s life was really difficult. Based on the idea of ​​pitying him, she made him a dinner.

But now, she felt that being with Zhou Yi at least made her feel better.

This was very important to her, who had just quarreled with her family.
