Chapter 27
With a smile, Zhou Yuan suddenly lost all his temper.
He stepped forward, taking the pot lid and water ladle from Asta’s hands, saying, “Let me handle this. You go wash your face in the bathroom. You look like a calico cat.”
This time, Asta had his hair tied up in a high ponytail, and there were no strands covering his bashful ears. Zhou Yuan could clearly see Asta’s ears turning as red as fire, while his master, with slightly lowered eyes, gave a cool and composed “Hmm” and said, “Sorry, Lord.”
Zhou Yuan couldn’t help but curiously glance at Asta’s ears and then at his expression.
This went back and forth several times until Asta sounded somewhat puzzled, “Lord?”
Only then did Zhou Yuan come back to his senses, feeling intrigued that Asta turned out to have a semi-paralyzed face.
“It’s okay, you go ahead. I’ll take care of things here,” Zhou Yuan said, ushering Asta out.
After sending Asta away, Zhou Yuan looked at the mess on the floor, the arrogant flames now subdued. He chuckled helplessly and started cleaning up the aftermath.
First, he swiftly covered the flames with the pot lid, then turned off the induction cooker and opened the window and exhaust fan to dissipate the kitchen smoke.
With the air blocked and the flames subdued, the situation calmed down.
As for the remaining charcoal, Zhou Yuan picked it up and found out it was burnt potatoes.
All the moisture in the potatoes had been burnt dry, turning them into crumbs when squeezed.
Counting them, Zhou Yuan realized that Asta had managed to use up all the remaining potatoes he had.
It seemed that tonight’s beef stew with potatoes was out of the question.

Zhou Yuan quickly cleaned up the mess.

Upon hearing the movement, Asta turned his head and saw Zhou Yuan holding two bowls of noodles, maneuvering the wheelchair to come forward to help.
This controllable wheelchair was sent over by Asta earlier this morning through Yuo.
The wheelchair was fast, and in the blink of an eye, it arrived next to Zhou Yuan.
Asta slightly raised his head and said earnestly, “Lord, let me do it.”
Due to sitting in the wheelchair, Asta was much shorter than Zhou Yuan by two heads. He looked extremely obedient, like a cat apologizing for causing trouble.
Zhou Yuan had no intention of letting Asta do these things. He declined Asta’s request and invited him to eat together.
Asta felt a bit embarrassed, but the aroma was irresistible, and Zhou Yuan repeatedly invited him. In the end, Asta blushed and accepted the noodles.
Although the noodles were simple and quick to make, they retained the original flavor of the ingredients.
The noodles were soft and chewy, the broth seasoned with scallions was just right, and Zhou Yuan even put a sweet egg in the soup, which flowed out golden soup when picked up with chopsticks, adding a hint of richness to the simple noodles.
Although Asta ate slower than Zhou Yuan, he finished the soup quicker. Just as Zhou Yuan finished slurping the noodles, Asta had already finished the soup.
When Zhou Yuan finished eating, Asta took care of the aftermath as usual, took the bowls, and went into the kitchen to wash them.
Coming out, Zhou Yuan was still immersed in his thoughts about the matter with the Male Zergs Protection Association.
Yesterday, Ron failed to gain forgiveness from Zhou Yuan, but the hot search for their affectionate display was still going strong. All zergs knew that Zhou Yuan greatly favored his queen, almost without Zhou Yuan’s prompting, countless female zergs who had been bullied by Male Zergs Protection Association were all riled up, urging Male Zergs Protection Association to give Zhou Yuan an explanation, practically roasting Male Zergs Protection Association over the fire.
Of course, along with these tags, there were also countless envy-inducing lemon-related terms topping the hot search. Zhou Yuan rubbed his nose and chose to ignore them selectively.
Zhou Yuan speculated that this afternoon, the Male Zergs Protection Association’s side would probably not be able to withstand the pressure of public opinion and visit again.
Just as he was happily scrolling, he heard the sound of the wheelchair turning, so Zhou Yuan turned off the light brain and looked at Asta.
However, there was still one thing that needed to be addressed now.
He said, “Asta, accompany me to the supermarket. Our pot is burnt, and we need to buy a new one, and also get you some new clothes.”
—
Today happened to be a day off, and the largest supermarket in the capital city was crowded with zergs. Occasionally, there were a few male zergs surrounded by numerous female zergs entering the supermarket.
When Zhou Yuan’s aircraft was parked in the parking lot, not many zergs paid attention. It wasn’t until Zhou Yuan and Asta got off the aircraft one after another that some female zergs noticed them and couldn’t help but sneakily glance at them.
After getting off the aircraft, Zhou Yuan looked at the bustling crowd of zergs with a slight frown. He took a step back, originally he and Asta were coming down side by side, but with this step back, he ended up behind Asta. He reached out, grabbed the handlebar used to push the wheelchair, and proceeded to push Asta forward.
Zhou Yuan lowered his head slightly and said, “There are too many zergs here. I’ll push you, so be careful not to get separated by the crowd.”
The warm breath of the male zerg fell on Asta’s ear as he spoke, making Asta’s ears feel hot. But fortunately, when they left the house, he had let down his high ponytail, perfectly covering up his mismatched ears.
Asta responded lightly, saying, “Thank you, Lord.”
Meanwhile, nearby, a female zerg let out a small exclamation, clearly shocked by the intimacy between the two and Zhou Yuan’s affection.
Zhou Yuan glanced at the surprised female zerg, but he had experienced too many of these reactions in the past few days and had quickly adapted. With just one glance, he pushed Asta into the supermarket.
The supermarket was large, but fortunately, Zhou Yuan was not visiting for the first time, so he quickly pushed Asta to the kitchenware section on the first floor.
Naturally, they became the center of attention along the way, with countless female zergs casting their gazes towards them, as if yesterday was happening all over again.
Zhou Yuan chose the kitchenware quickly, but when he saw the bowls and plates area next to it, he subconsciously paused.
Asta keenly noticed it and looked to where Zhou Yuan had paused.
On the shelves, there was a set of adorable cat and butterfly-printed glazed plates.
The white cats and butterflies were painted very delicately and cutely, with a layer of fine gold border on the edges, a style that male zergs would like.
Asta asked, “Lord, do you like that set of plates?”
Zhou Yuan felt a bit embarrassed. In fact, he had just paused because the cats on the plates looked very similar to Asta, both with purple eyes and white fur. He said, “It’s nothing, I just think this plate is very cute. Let’s go.”
With that, he pushed Asta towards the clothing section on the fifth floor.
However, Asta glanced at the set of plates a few more times.
The fifth-floor clothing section was extremely lively, with mostly male zerg clothing stores, but what was different here was that one-tenth of the stores also sold female zerg clothes.
As Zhou Yuan pushed Asta up, there happened to be a store selling female zerg clothes nearby. Zhou Yuan pushed Asta into the store.
This store clearly favored a simple and exquisite style, and instead of saying it sold clothes for both male and female zergs, it was more appropriate to say that the clothes here were suitable for both male and female zergs to wear.
As soon as the female clerk saw zergs coming in, he quickly walked over. His first reaction was to look at Zhou Yuan’s hands pushing the wheelchair, and then he turned to Zhou Yuan with a sweet smile and asked, “Your Excellency, may I ask what style you are looking for? Or may I recommend something for you?”
“I’m here to accompany him to shop,” Zhou Yuan said, then he slightly tilted his body and asked Asta, “Asta, how do you feel about this store? Do you like anything?”
