Start a mysterious island

"Uh..." The smile on Lin Li's face, who was teasing Su Yue, suddenly froze because he saw Su Yue looking at him with squinted eyes, with a hint of murderous intent on his body.

"Cough cough cough..." Lin Li pretended to cough a few times and changed the subject, "Have you changed the battery of this clock since you bought it?"

Seeing that Lin Li took the initiative to change the topic and stopped making fun of herself, Su Yue couldn't help but raise the corners of her mouth slightly, and then said, "No! I haven't replaced the battery since I bought it."

"It has been several years since you bought it, and the battery has not been replaced. So the current time error in this clock may have something to do with the fact that the battery is running out of power." Lin Li speculated.

"Yes! It should be like this..." Su Yue thought Lin Li's analysis was very reasonable.

She felt that the quality of the clock she had spent hundreds of dollars on was of acceptable quality. If something went wrong, it must be the battery.

"Do you have extra batteries at home?" Lin Li asked.

"Yes!"

"Go and find the battery. I'll take the clock off and replace the battery."

"Yeah." Su Yue nodded, then stood up and walked to the study. She remembered that the batteries she bought before were placed in the drawer of the study.

Lin Li went to the kitchen and moved a chair into the living room. When passing by the study, he saw Su Yue rummaging for batteries in the drawer.

"It's strange. I remember that the battery I bought before was placed in this drawer. Why is it missing?" Su Yue, who was looking for batteries in the drawer, muttered to herself.

"If you can't find the battery, I'll go out and buy it later," Lin Li said.

"I remember clearly that there is a row of batteries in the drawer, I can definitely find them..." Su Yue replied.

"Okay! Then you look for it slowly." Lin Li shook his head and walked into the living room.

He stepped on the chair and took down the clock hanging on the wall.

There was a lot of dust on the clock. After Lin Li took it off, he took it to the balcony and found a rag to wipe it with.

"Click."

Opening the back cover of the clock, Lin Li pulled out two batteries.

Back in the living room, Su Yue happened to walk out of the study.

"Look! I just said I could find it."

Tsk, looking at you so happy, people who don't know would think you found some gold and silver jewelry... Lin Li looked at the smiling Su Yue and complained secretly in his heart, and then he took the battery from the other person's hand.

On the sofa, Lin Li unpacked a row of batteries in his hand, took out two brand-new batteries and installed them on the clock.

Su Yue, who was sitting next to Lin Li, leaned sideways and was next to Lin Li. All her attention fell on the simple clock she bought.

I spent hundreds of dollars to buy this clock because I like its style.

To Su Yue, a few hundred dollars more was nothing, but Lin Li said that she was taken advantage of and had spent these hundreds of dollars in vain, which was a bit unacceptable to Su Yue.

"You must not break it! Otherwise Lin Li will make fun of me about this in the future." Su Yue muttered softly.

At this time, because of this incident, her heartbeat accelerated slightly and she felt a little nervous.

The weak and boneless body gently relies on itself, and the fragrance like orchid and musk lingers on the tip of the nose. Those who are not strong-willed will definitely be intoxicated and unable to recover for a long time.

"Cough cough cough..." Lin Li, who was under tremendous pressure, quickly recited the heart-clearing mantra in his heart, and then coughed a few times to draw Su Yue's attention away from the clock.

"Why are you coughing again? Is your throat uncomfortable?" Su Yue asked with concern.

"Fortunately, please give me a glass of water." Lin Li said with a somewhat erratic look.

"Oh." Su Yue nodded, then stood up, bent over, picked up the kettle on the coffee table, and poured water for Lin Li.

After Su Yue, who was sitting next to her and relying on herself, stood up, the huge pressure on Lin Li was immediately reduced by more than half.

"call……"

He took a long breath and felt relaxed all over, but the orchid-musk scent lingering on the tip of his nose was still there. Lin Li thought to himself that he couldn't take it lightly, otherwise he would definitely make a fool of himself.

"Here..."

"Drink some water to moisten your throat!" Su Yue, holding a half glass of water in her hand, sat back on the sofa and said to Lin Li, who was adjusting the time.

"Tons, tons, tons..."

Lin Li took half a glass of water from Su Yue's hand, drank it in one gulp, and then continued to adjust the clock.

Su Yue put the empty cup back on the coffee table. At this time, she saw Lin Li stop adjusting the time.

"Okay, I have adjusted the time on the clock to be the same as the time shown on the TV.

Next, we wait for a while to see if the clock time will be inaccurate again.

If the error still occurs, it means that the clock is broken and it is not a battery problem. Lin Li said, then put the clock on the coffee table.

"..." Su Yue silently held the adjusted clock in her hand. Seeing Su Yue's reaction, Lin Li couldn't understand why she became like this.

"What's wrong with you? I feel like you're a little depressed?"

Naturally, Su Yue would not tell Lin Li that the reason why she was depressed now was because she was worried that the clock was really broken, and this matter would become a long-lasting topic for Lin Li to make fun of him from now on.

"No! I'm in a good mood now!" A bright smile appeared on Su Yue's face.

Lin Li often complained in his mind that Su Yue was the reincarnation of a drama queen. As soon as the smile spread on her face, Lin Li's doubts were dispelled.

Although a popular TV series is playing on the TV, the two people sitting on the sofa in the living room are not thinking about the wonderful TV series at this time.

"Three minutes, five minutes, ten minutes, fifteen minutes..."

Lin Li and Su Yue looked at the time displayed by the hands on the clock from time to time.

Fifteen minutes passed, and there was no error in the adjusted clock.

"Hehe..." Seeing that there was no time error in the clock, Su Yue relaxed her nervousness and laughed happily.

"Let me tell you! When I spent hundreds of dollars to buy this clock, I wasn't taking advantage of it... The reason why the clock had errors before was entirely because I didn't change the battery for a long time."

Lin Li saw that after the clock had been replaced with a new battery, there was no time error in the past fifteen minutes, and he looked a little disappointed.

Hearing Su Yue's very happy laughter, Lin Li blurted out, "What a pity..."

"Huh?!!!" Su Yue heard Lin Li say it was a pity, and the smile on her face became brighter.

She raised her slender arm, spread her five green-green fingers, patted Lin Li's shoulder, and said softly, "What's the pity?"

Lin Li was speechless when faced with Su Yue's knowing question. He hesitated for a few seconds. He didn't know how to explain it, so he could only change the topic very bluntly.

"It's getting late, I'm so hungry! Is it almost time to cook for dinner?"

Su Yue saw Lin Li abruptly changing the subject. She didn't hold on to the question. She put the clock in Lin Li's hand and stood up while talking.

"You help me hang the clock on the wall, and I'll go to the kitchen to cook now."

"Yeah." Seeing that Su Yue let him go, Lin Li nodded quickly.

Looking at Su Yue, who was walking towards the kitchen, humming a tune, swaying and in a good mood, Lin Li couldn't help but muttered, "Hey, can't you let me catch something embarrassing for her?"

…………

The sky outside the window turned completely dark. After the last ray of sunset disappeared, darkness enveloped the earth.

"Woooooooo..."

The range hood is operating, sending fumes out of the house.

Su Yue put the fried vegetables on the plate, then turned off the range hood and carried the dishes to the restaurant.

Lin Li, who was sitting on the sofa in the living room watching TV, took another look at the clock he hung on the wall that had its batteries replaced.

He found that after a while, the clock still had no error, so he gave up completely.

"Lin Li, come over for dinner." Su Yue's clear and sweet voice came from the direction of the kitchen. After hearing it, Lin Li in the living room picked up the remote control and turned off the TV, then got up and walked to the dining room.

On the table were fried water spinach, shredded green peppers and potatoes, fried bee pupae until golden brown and sprinkled with salt and pepper, several freshly steamed corns, and a plate of brightly colored roast duck.

"Sit down! What are you standing for?" Su Yue held a bowl of steaming pumpkin porridge in her hand. When she saw Lin Li standing at the dining table, looking at the dishes she had prepared, she smiled and asked him to take a seat quickly.

"Yes." Lin Li pulled up the chair and sat down. Su Yue placed the steaming pumpkin porridge in front of him, and then handed him a pair of chopsticks.

"Try the bee pupa I fried." After Su Yue sat down, she pointed at the bee pupa she had just fried and said with a smile.

"Click, click, click..."

The fried bee pupa with just the right heat makes a crispy sound immediately when you put it in your mouth.

"You control the heat much better than me. The texture of the bee pupae I fried is much worse than the ones you fried. As for the taste, it is still better than yours..." Lin Li tasted Su Moon-fried bee pupa, fair review.

"I think what you said is a bit exaggerated. Although I can control the heat better than you, as long as the fried bee pupae are not burnt, the taste will not be much different..." Su Yue's eyebrows curled up happily when she heard Lin Li's compliment. bend.

Under the light, two people were eating and chatting at the dining table. Suddenly, Su Yue's cell phone placed on the table rang.

"Dinglingling..."

Reaching out for the phone and looking at it, Su Yue found that it was her mother calling.

After answering the call, Zheng Qiuyi's voice came from the phone.

"Xiaoyue, have you had dinner?"

"I'm eating right now!" Su Yue replied, "Mom, why did you call me?"

In the bedroom, Zheng Qiuyi, who had changed into an evening dress and looked elegant and in her early thirties, stood in front of the mirror, looking at herself in the mirror while talking on the phone to her daughter.

"I want to ask, are you still wearing the bracelet your dad gave you this morning?"

Zheng Qiuyi was worried that her daughter would take off the jade bracelet after returning home. She felt a little worried, so she made this call.

Su Yue held the phone in her right hand. When she heard her mother calling her, she just asked about this matter. She muttered in her heart, then looked at the transparent jade bracelet on her left hand and said.

"I'm wearing it! You and Dad asked me to wear it all the time, and I remember it!"

Zheng Qiuyi felt relieved when her daughter said that she was wearing a bracelet on her hand but had not taken it off, and then she said with a smile.

"Your dad and I will go home tomorrow. When we get home, I will send you a box of oysters."

"There's no need for this! It's not like I can't buy it at the vegetable market here." Su Yue heard her mother say that she wanted to give herself parasitic oysters, thought about it, and said.

"I know you can buy them in wet markets, but no matter how good the quality of oysters in the wet market is, they can't compare to those produced in our own farms..." Zheng Qiuyi said with a smile.

"Okay, okay, then just send some! But don't send too much, I can't eat much by myself..." Su Yue said.

"I plan to send two copies. Your landlord usually takes good care of you. You can give one to him later." Zheng Qiuyi asked.

"Um..." Su Yue didn't expect her mother to mention Lin Li. She looked at Lin Li who was eating corn. The latter noticed her gaze and looked at Su Yue with some confusion.

"I know, I will send him a copy after I receive it."

Zheng Qiuyi looked in the mirror, tidied her hair on her forehead, and said, "I'm going out to attend a banquet with your dad. Let's do this for now. I'll call you after I get back and send the things."

"Okay." Su Yue nodded and hung up the phone.

She thought about her parents having to go out to attend the banquet again, and sighed inwardly. It was really hard.

However, socializing is inevitable for his parents. After so many years, the two of them should have become accustomed to it.

How is it like her, after going to college, graduating, and now working.

Over the years, the number of parties I go to with my parents has been greatly reduced.

"Is this the call from your mother?" Lin Li, who had eaten half a corn, stopped moving his mouth, swallowed the corn in his mouth, and asked Su Yue.

"Yeah." Su Yue said with a smile, "My mother called me and said she would send me some oysters in a few days."

Lin Li had the same idea as Su Yue, "Don't they sell oysters in the wet market? Your mother sent some oysters all the way. It's unnecessary."

Su Yue smiled and said, "She insists on sending it, but there's nothing I can do about it!"

"Yes." Lin Li nodded. At this time, he heard Su Yue add, "My mother said that the oysters sent this time are for two people, and one of them is yours."

"Huh?!!!" Lin Li was surprised when he heard this, with a surprised expression on his face. He didn't expect that he was involved.

"This...this is so embarrassing!"

"You usually help me a lot, just a little oyster! Don't feel embarrassed." Su Yue said with a smile.

"Then you can say thank you to your mother for me later..." Lin Li scratched his head and said.

"Yes." Su Yue responded with a bright smile, and then picked up the chopsticks.
