Chapter 381 Shiho Miyano's Scheme...

6:20 p.m.

Lin Jiayou returned to the villa on time.

He hadn't forgotten the bottle of red wine that someone had asked him to take on the way.

It wasn't the 82 Lafite that he had anticipated, which had been talked about to death online.

It is a sherry that looks quite high-end.

Well......

This little girl is quite good at saving money...

Lin Jiayou had no idea how much the wine cost, since he didn't like drinking...

Okay, he likes to drink, but he doesn't know how to appreciate wine.

Lin Jiayou opened the door to his villa and casually said,

"I am back."

......

Ok?

Lin Jiayou frowned slightly.

The familiar voice he usually heard was absent, and the empty room made him feel a little uneasy.

Lin Jiayou also keenly noticed that there was an extra small note on the shoe cabinet in the entryway.

He picked it up casually, glanced at it, and almost lost control of his expression.

【

Dear Cherry:

I left. I felt deeply that I was a burden, so I left.

Thank you for taking care of me these past few days. My things are on the dining table.

—Sherry

】

What, what's going on?!

Lin Jiayou resisted the urge to tear up the note, his emotions churning inside him.

Is she throwing money away? What's the point of her leaving?

Or did someone say something to her? That wretched Miyano Akemi, she shouldn't have kept her in the first place...

and many more!

Lin Jiayou's nose twitched slightly.

Why does the room smell so nice...?

Lin Jiayou narrowed his eyes and quickly walked towards the restaurant.

Then.......

"Hey, you're back!"

Shirley, wearing an apron and carrying a plate of food, looked delighted when she saw Lin Jiayou enter.

"You're so punctual! You really were back before 6:30..."

"......"

Lin Jiayou looked at someone, unsure of what to say.

After a long silence, he slowly spoke.

What does that note in the entryway mean?

"A note?"

Sherry paused for a moment, then chuckled.

"I was just kidding. Anyone with a brain knows I'm not leaving here."

"If I leave, where can I go?"

"but......."

Sherry's eyes darted around, and she looked at Lin Jiayou with amusement.

"You seem to be in a bit of a hurry; you got to the restaurant so quickly..."

"Humph!"

Lin Jiayou gave a haughty snort to hide her feelings and casually offered an explanation.

"I just smelled the aroma of the food, which was a bit strange."

"Oh, is that so?"

Shiho Miyano tilted her head and smiled, pursing her lips.

"Okay, let's leave it at that."

"That's how it is..."

Lin Jiayou's expression remained unchanged as he spoke calmly.

Sherry placed the plate of food she was holding on the table, wiped her hands with her apron, and held it out to Lin Jiayou.

"give it to me."

"what?"

"Wine!"

Shiho Miyano said irritably,

"We still have to drink tonight, so we need to sober up a bit now, right?"

"......for you."

Lin Jiayou was silent for a moment, then handed over the bottle of sherry in his hand.

Sherry caught it casually and then skillfully began the process of decanting the alcohol...

Lin Jiayou watched quietly from the side, his mind wandering.

This woman seems to have drunk quite a bit in the past; underage drinking is unacceptable...

Suddenly, Lin Jiayou thought of something and glanced at the food on the table next to him.

Stir-fried liver and kidney, stir-fried chives and eggs, blue basil, and pork rib soup with a few goji berries floating in the water...

"You did it?"

Lin Jiayou looked up at Shiho Miyano, who was still busy, and his voice, though calm, carried a hint of disbelief.

Sherry turned her head and glared at him.

"Nonsense, if I didn't do it, did a ghost do it?"

"........"

Lin Jiayou did not speak.

He'd rather believe it was done by a ghost than by Shirley...

Isn't this a bit... illogical...?

"can you cook?"

Lin Jiayou couldn't help but ask another question.

Shiho Miyano said confidently.

"No way."

"And you said these dishes were..."

"I can learn!"

Sherry suddenly changed the subject, chuckling.

"I looked at your recipe and learned it very quickly!"

"........"

Lin Chia-yu was silenced once again.

He recalled the time when he almost caused both of them to die while trying to learn to cook...

Could it be that Shirley is really smarter than me?

He didn't believe it; he was the strongest in the world...

Shiho Miyano ignored Chia-Yu Lin and continued to fiddle with the dish in the pot.

Although she spoke lightly, the truth was not as simple as she made it sound.

These dishes were indeed taken from Lin Jiayou's recipes, but they were also carefully selected by her.

Although this guy doesn't usually do much, Shiho Miyano noticed that he always liked looking at Chinese recipes, which led to this meal.

Every day before Lin Jiayou left home, she would tinker with these things, waiting for this day...

To avoid arousing Cherry's suspicion, she would discard the contents of her potty without hesitation after each use, regardless of success or failure, and then rinse it thoroughly with water...

Why do we need to do this today?

Lin Jiayou suddenly asked.

Shirley's cooking skills don't look like something she learned in a day. Why doesn't she cook usually, but today she made a whole table of dishes...?

"Why do you do it?"

Sherry tilted her head, turned around and smiled.

"Are you so confused at work?"

"Have you forgotten? Today is your birthday."

His...birthday?!

Lin Jiayou opened her eyes slightly.

What's going on? How come he doesn't know it's his birthday today...?

and many more!

Lin Jiayou suddenly remembered that when Shirley asked him that question, he had indeed casually mentioned it.

However, it wasn't his birthday in this life, nor was it his birthday in his past life.

But...

The day he was reborn...

This guy... he actually remembered it all along...

Lin Jiayou felt a slight stirring in his heart...

"Alright! Let's eat!"

Shiho Miyano placed the last dish on the table, washed the wok, clapped her hands casually, and greeted Chia-Yu Lin.

Lin Jiayou sat down stiffly at the dining table.

What happened today was a bit too much...

He needs to slow down...

Shiho Miyano brought over two glasses of wine, placing one in front of Chia-Yu Lin and keeping the other for herself.

She raised her glass and winked at Lin Jiayou.

"cheers!"

"......cheers"

Lin Jiayou was stunned for a moment before raising his wine glass.

clang--

The two glasses clinked together.

Watching Lin Jiayou drink half of the sherry in his glass, Miyano Shiho also put her glass to her lips.

The wine glass was brought close to her slightly flushed face, and the liquid in the glass reflected the curve of her lips.

Licking her lips, Ms. Miyano downed the drink in her glass in one gulp.

"Here, Cherry, eat more of this."

"And this one, I read in a book that it's good for your health."

"And this one, this one is very nutritious..."

"........"
