IRDFPFCIW Chapter 51

When Jiang Tang was live streaming, he had privacy mode on. Everyone else in the frame except from him automatically had their appearances adjusted to achieve a blurring effect.

As the audience in the live stream room was focused on watching Jiang Tang’s smooth movements, a deep voice suddenly broke through the stream.

“Do you need help?”

Looking towards the source of the voice, wow! Where did this wild man come from!

Although his face looked somewhat ordinary due to the adjustment, the inverted triangle shape of his body and long legs gave off an inexplicable runway vibe, even in simple clothes!

The comments in the barrage exploded due to this strange man—

[Ahhh, that voice, a deep bass! I’m dead.]

[Even though I can’t see his real face, my instincts tell me he’s a handsome guy!]

[Tang Tang, you have another wild man! Boohoo!]

[Where did this wild man come from! I’m going to make a fuss!]

[Don’t say that, what if he’s the streamer’s boyfriend?]

[Strange… why does this person’s voice sound a bit like my idol, the Marshal…]

Seeing the last comment, Jiang Tang’s hand holding the pot handle trembled. Wen Renyuan only said a few words just now! How could anyone recognize him? Is this the legendary power of true fans?!

Fortunately, he wasn’t wearing his military uniform he had in the morning but changed into light casual clothes. If Wen Renyuan was really in full military uniform… Jiang Tang swallowed nervously, wondering if his little live stream room could handle it.

“He’s a friend here to help move,” Jiang Tang explained to the comments.

Hearing the word “friend” from Jiang Tang, Wen Renyuan’s lips curled up slightly.

“You don’t need to, it’ll be done quickly. You go rest.” Jiang Tang turned his head and smiled at Wen Renyuan.

“It’s okay.” Wen Renyuan rolled up his sleeves slightly, revealing perfectly shaped muscles. He walked over to Jiang Tang. “It’s a bit boring sitting there. I came to see how I can help.”

Wen Renyuan stood beside Jiang Tang and looked at the hot oil in the pot. “Is this supposed to be heated?”

“Ah… yes, just be careful not to burn yourself…”

“Leave it to me.”

Wen Renyuan took the pot handle from Jiang Tang’s hand, leaving him empty-handed. Jiang Tang had to give up his position and stood aside to watch the comments in the live stream room.

But he soon noticed that the comments were getting a bit strange at this moment…

[Am I the only one who thinks Tang Tang and this wild man would make a cute couple…]

[Count me in.]

[Me too.]

[How can you not ship them? I’m already shipping them!]

[Ah, the height difference, the wild man is so gentle and Tang Tang’s voice is so soft!]

[It’s like a newlywed couple.]

[……]

Jiang Tang: ???

What are they shipping? What to ship? Shipping heads?

Jiang Tang had a confused expression like an old person on the subway looking at a phone. What were they talking about? He suddenly couldn’t understand the comments.

“Where should I pour this?”

Following Jiang Tang’s instructions, Wen Renyuan poured the hot oil over the prepared dish in the bowl.

“Sizzle—”

As the soul of the dish, the hot oil was poured on, and the aroma of the dish instantly intensified and filled the air. After smelling this spicy scent, the audience didn’t bother to say anything else and started to swallow their saliva frantically.

Jiang didn’t know if Wen Renyuan could handle spicy food, so he quickly added a few other home-cooked dishes. Some were sweet and some were salty, making the table look surprisingly abundant.

Worried that Wen Renyuan might not be comfortable eating in front of many people, Jiang Tang said goodbye to the audience in the live stream room, “Alright, due to special situation today, this live stream ends here. See you tomorrow.”

Then while the fans were still whining, he ruthlessly closed the live stream.

Jiang Tang came out of the kitchen carrying the last dish. He placed the sweet and sour ribs on the table. Just as he was about to call Wen Renyuan over, he suddenly remembered a comment he had seen earlier—[It’s like a newlywed couple]…

Jiang Tang: !!!

What was he thinking! Jiang Tang shook his head and quickly threw this terrifying thought.

“I didn’t know what you liked, so I made a few extra dishes.”

Wen Renyuan looked at Jiang Tang, who was still wearing an apron around his waist and had not taken it off in time, and his eyes softened.

“It looks abundant, thank you for your hard work.”

As usual, Jiang Tang divided the portions for his two fluffy friends in small bowls and placed them in front of them, then called Qin Fei and Wen Renyuan to sit down.

He then sat down in front of Wen Renyuan.

Wen Renyuan looked at the chopsticks in front of him and suddenly realized a reality: he had always eaten in beast form on the deserted island. Although he had seen Jiang Tang and the others using chopsticks, he had never used them himself!

He hesitated to pick up the chopsticks, secretly observing how Jiang Tang and others held them, and then awkwardly reached for the nearest plate of sweet and sour ribs.

After a struggle, he finally managed to pick one up. Just as he was about to bring it over, the rib seemed to have a mind of its own and suddenly fell from the chopsticks.

Wen Renyuan: !

His other hand quickly picked up the bowl and caught the rib before it fell on the table.

That was close. If it had fallen on the table, the good impression he had built in front of Jiang Tang today would have been ruined.

Little did he know that Jiang Tang had been quietly watching him, worried that the dishes wouldn’t suit Wen Renyuan’s taste. Seeing this, Jiang Tang suddenly realized, oh right, interstellar people never used chopsticks.

Wen Renyuan was still troubled about how to “gracefully and appropriately” eat the rib when another pair of chopsticks appeared in front of him, with another piece of rib covered in sauce firmly clamped between the chopsticks.

Wen Renyuan looked up to see Jiang Tang using serving chopsticks to place a piece of rib into his bowl.

Seeing Wen Renyuan looking at him, Jiang Tang smiled and added a few pieces of Mao Xue Wang to his bowl.

“I’m sorry, I didn’t think it through and forgot to prepare the right utensils.” Jiang Tang stood up to get Wen Renyuan a set of knives and forks. “Try this Mao Xue Wang. Although the name is a bit strange, it tastes great.”

Wen Renyuan seemed to enjoy the flavor of the dish, and he was quick to learn. He soon mastered the use of chopsticks and ate faster and faster.

But he clearly had good table manners, unlike Qin Fei who was eating very fast. Wen Renyuan ate elegantly and beautifully. This secretly pleased Jiang Tang, who was a bit of a face-control[mfn]likes beautiful people (beautiful faces)[/mfn]. Looking at such a pleasing scene, he felt like he could go for another two bowls of rice.

Jiang Tang also noticed that the Marshal seemed to prefer spicy dishes. For instance, he handled the Sichuan dishes like Mao Xue Wang and boiled pork slices without any visible reaction. But he seemed to dislike the ginger and garlic in the dishes, carefully pushing them aside.

Liking spicy food but avoiding ginger and garlic. For some reason, Jiang Tang suddenly thought of his cat, Kitty… The image of the kitten disdainfully pushing ginger and garlic aside appeared in his mind.

He wondered where Kitty was now and if he was hungry…

Noticing Jiang Tang’s expression change slightly, Wen Renyuan felt a pang of concern. He was fine just a moment ago, why did he suddenly look upset?

Could it be that he was eating too much?

Although they were sitting across from each other, they seemed to have drifted off into their own thoughts.

“You just arrived at the Imperial Capital Star, it must be inconvenient in some ways. Is there anything I can help you with?”

Jiang Tang’s wandering thoughts were interrupted as he met Wen Renyuan’s sincere eyes. For some reason, he held back the instinctive “no” that was about to slip out.

“Actually, it’s nothing much, just that Xiao Fei’s school hasn’t been confirmed yet…”

Wen Renyuan understood and assured him that he would help them solve this issue and get Qin Fei smoothly enrolled in school. Qin Fei had always admired Wen Renyuan. He was so happy to hear this that his eyes were shining, and he looked at Wen Renyuan with even more respect.

“Today’s dishes are very delicious. Thank you for your hospitality.”

Wen Renyuan sat on the sofa with the tea Jiang Tang had brewed in front of him. He sighed, “This is the first time I’ve eaten such delicious natural food. I think I’m going to savor this table of food for a long time. I don’t even know when I can eat it again…”

Lin Yucang rolled his eyes internally at this comment. What nonsense was this person saying? This was his first time eating? Hadn’t he had many meals on the barren planet? Were those all fed to dogs?

“You can come often…” Jiang Tang felt a bit embarrassed after finishing his sentence. “What I mean is… since we’re friends, if the Marshal doesn’t mind, you’re welcome to come over as a guest.”

“Really?” Wen Renyuan looked surprised. “Thank you so much, Tang Tang. But if you let me come over for meals, you can’t find me annoying.”

Tang… Tang Tang?! Why did he suddenly start calling him that…!

“I saw in the comments earlier that’s what they called you,” Wen Renyuan chuckled softly. “Since we’re friends now, can I call you that too? Tang Tang?”

The last “Tang Tang” seemed intentionally lowered in tone by Wen Renyuan, whispered softly in Jiang Tang’s ear.

Jiang Tang felt the words “Tang Tang” spin around in his ears, tickling him, but he didn’t realize his ears had turned bright red.

“Yes, that’s fine.”

Jiang Tang quietly regretted it. Why was he stuttering in front of Wen Renyuan? They had only just met, and he had never been this shy before.

No, he had to regain some composure.

Jiang Tang thought for a moment, “Then can I call you Brother Yuan?”

Wen Renyuan: …Brother Yuan?

This time, the performance of the two people seemed to be reversed. It was Wen Renyuan who was fidgeting awkwardly.

Brother Yuan… Tang Tang just called him brother…

Wen Renyuan suddenly stood up. “The military, uh, has things to deal with. I won’t disturb you further. I, I’ll take my leave now.”

Although his expression was normal and gave nothing away, his ears had already turned a faint shade of red.

Jiang Tang: ?

Jiang Tang watched Wen Renyuan awkwardly make his way to the door, almost bumping into the door frame, then turned around to politely say goodbye.

Once Wen Renyuan left, Jiang Tang couldn’t help but burst into laughter.
