"Are you a hamster? How can you eat so much?" Lin Yi asked.

When Lin Yi asked her this, Xue Shanshan humbly replied, "Yes, I'm a little hamster."

Lin Yi asked with a smile, "Is there anything else you want to eat?"

"No rush, I'll come back to buy next time," Xue Shanshan said with a smile.

"Row."

Lin Yi took Xue Shanshan to pay the bill.

When we paid the bill, the snacks cost 688 yuan. To be honest, it was quite festive, just a bit expensive.

Xue Shanshan said, "Lin Yi, how about I do it?"

"No need," Lin Yi refused outright.

"I ate this myself, I feel bad making you pay," Xue Shanshan said.

"What? Can't I eat what you bought?" Lin Yi asked with a smile.

"Ah...no, no, of course you can, what I mean is..." Xue Shanshan quickly shook her head, but after talking for a long time, she couldn't come up with a reasonable explanation.

Lin Yi smiled and said, "I know what you mean."

But in terms of our relationship, you're my friend, and at work, you're my employee. From any perspective, it should be me who treats you.

So, don't worry, you can eat.

Xue Shanshan smiled and said, "Lin Yi, thank you."

"You're welcome," Lin Yi said.

"It's just too expensive." Xue Shanshan felt a pang of heartache when she thought about how much money it cost.

Lin Yi glanced at his hand, then at Xue Shanshan's hand, and said with a smile, "Don't you even look at how many snacks we bought?"

After checking out at the supermarket, they filled four large bags, and each of them carried two.

Of course, the snacks aren't heavy, they're just big, so they seem like there are a lot of them.

Lin Yi took Xue Shanshan back.

When she got home, Xue Shanshan looked at the huge pile of snacks, her little eyes sparkling.

So many snacks, hehehe...

Lin Yi patted her head and said, "Alright, hurry up and get ready, don't just get excited."

"Uh-huh."

As Xue Shanshan spoke, she dragged all those snacks into her room.

After doing all that, Xue Shanshan came out.

"Boss, are you having dinner tonight?" Xue Shanshan asked.

"How come I'm Lin Yi outside, but at home, I'm the boss?" Lin Yi asked with a smile.

“It’s a bit embarrassing to call you boss outside. You should call me that at home. I’m still your nanny,” Xue Shanshan said.

"Are you hungry?" Lin Yi asked.

Xue Shanshan shook her head and said, "I'm not hungry."

"Then let's not eat," Lin Yi said with a smile. "Let's eat snacks and watch TV."

Eating snacks while watching TV is her favorite thing to do, and she didn't expect Lin Yi to be so understanding.

As Xue Shanshan spoke, she took out a lot of snacks and then turned on the TV.

A beautiful afternoon has begun.

The two watched TV for an hour and ate a lot of snacks. Xue Shanshan was so full that she started burping.

Lin Yi said with a smile, "I'll let you indulge yourself these next couple of days, but you can't eat this much in the future."

"Mmm." Xue Shanshan nodded obediently.

"Also, if you eat too many snacks and something happens to you, it won't be considered a work-related injury," Lin Yi said with a smile.

Upon hearing this, Xue Shanshan couldn't help but laugh and said with a smile, "Boss, you still remember what I said this afternoon."

"Of course, I'll tell Auntie that the reason you're working as a nanny in my house is because you have too many snacks," Lin Yi said with a smile.

"No way... I'll be more careful in the future. If you really say it like that, I'll be too embarrassed," Xue Shanshan said, pouting.

"Mmm," Lin Yi said.

The two cleaned up the trash, and Xue Shanshan pressed Lin Yi down, saying, "Boss, sit down, I can do this little thing."

"Okay." Lin Yi didn't insist.

It was just a little trash; Xue Shanshan cleaned it up and threw it all away in no time.

"Would you like to go for a walk?" Lin Yi asked.

"No, it's too hot outside," Xue Shanshan said after thinking for a moment.

Lin Yi said, "I understand. Shall we move the deck chairs over to the balcony and look at the moon?"

"That's a good idea," Xue Shanshan said.

They each had a deckchair, which swayed gently as they sat and looked at the moon outside.

The room fell silent for a moment.

They looked at the moon, feeling more relaxed than ever before.

Lin Yi suddenly realized that it had been a long time since he had looked at the moon so relaxedly.

After a long time, Lin Yi was a little confused.

Xue Shanshan whispered, "Lin Yi, do you like me?"

After asking the question, Xue Shanshan blushed, and her heart pounded.

However, Xue Shanshan pricked up her little ears, eagerly awaiting Lin Yi's answer.

"Hmm? Why do you ask that?" Lin Yi asked.

“If you don’t like me, why are you so good to me? You give me a place to live, find me a job, and buy me snacks,” Xue Shanshan said.

"As a good friend, I don't think these things are a big deal," Lin Yi said after thinking for a moment.

"Then why did you hold my hand? And stroke my hair? And affectionately pat my forehead?" Xue Shanshan whispered.

“These are subconscious behaviors,” Lin Yi said with a smile. “Because I think Shanshan is a very cute and interesting girl.”

Xue Shanshan listened with a smile on her face.

"Do you like me?" Xue Shanshan pressed on.

In fact, Xue Shanshan had been thinking about this for several days.

The main reason was that Lin Yi treated her too well, so she subconsciously overthought things.

"I don't know," Lin Yi said.

"I don't know?" Xue Shanshan didn't expect Lin Yi to answer like that.

"So what do you think? Do I like you?" Lin Yi asked.

"You should like it, right?" Xue Shanshan suddenly felt a little insecure.

"Why are you using a question now? Are you that insecure?" Lin Yi said, "Okay, then let me ask you, Shanshan, do you like me?"

Xue Shanshan thought for a moment and said, "I've been thinking about it ever since you were so good to me."

Later I realized that I probably like you.

"What's the reason?" Lin Yi asked.

"Because you are handsome, Lin Yi. I have never seen a boy more handsome than you in my life. I am always very happy and feel very safe when I am with you."

"Lin Yi, don't laugh at me, I'm just after your good looks," Xue Shanshan said, blushing.

"Ha ha……"

Under the bright moonlight, Lin Yi couldn't help but laugh out loud after hearing this.

Lin Yi never expected that Xue Shanshan would confess her feelings to him.

Moreover, Xue Shanshan explicitly stated that she was attracted to his "good looks".

Gee tut.

Lin Yi laughed and said, "Shanshan, if you put it that way, then you're the one who benefits from my contact with you?"

"No, not really," Xue Shanshan said shyly.

“I think I have it,” Lin Yi said with a smile.

It's actually quite normal; men like women to be pretty, and women like men to be handsome.

Without a doubt, Xue Shanshan is somewhat of a fangirl.

Lin Yi asked, "Do you think I like you or dislike you?"

"Hmm? What do you mean by that?" Xue Shanshan asked.

"If I liked you, and we were together, I would certainly be very happy."

But this changed our relationship.

Their relationship evolved from friendship and employment to romantic one.

When we were friends or employers, you did all the housework, from cleaning to cooking. But if we became a couple, would you still do those things?

What if you take my money and do nothing, yet still order me around? How pathetic would that be?

Then tell me, not only am I losing money every day, but I'm also losing my dignity.

"I just don't think it's worth it," Lin Yi said hesitantly.

Xue Shanshan was initially a little sad because she had taken the initiative to confess her feelings, but Lin Yi hadn't given her a direct answer.

After hearing Lin Yi's words, Xue Shanshan couldn't stop laughing.
