Louis is doing something in the kitchen and doesn't answer Chandler.
Chandler then runs to the kitchen to ask him. He raises his head and asks, "Louis, I sent you a message this afternoon. Why didn't you reply? Did you really break up with Lily?"
"Louis?"
"Louis, why aren't you speaking?" Chandler says in a loud voice.
After a long time, Louis admits in a whisper.
"Why? Lily is so nice." Chandler asks, "Is the woman you love now more beautiful than her?"
Louis glances at him and says, "I don't have another one."
Chandler frowns and mutters, "But Lily said you did and that was also why you broke up with her."
"No." Louis denies again and picks up steaming buns from the steamer. "It was she that decided to break up with me and I just agreed."
Chandler is stunned. "Then why did Lily break up with you?"
Louis does not reply. He grabs him on the collar with one hand and takes the buns with the other. After entering the living room, he throws him on the sofa. "Stop asking. Eat now."
"But ..."
Chandler is curious about why they broke up, but he is frightened by Louis’ sharp gaze. He lowers his head and takes a bun from the plate.
Looking at the bun, Chandler complains to himself: The bun looks ugly. I don't want to eat it!"
Louis also takes one from the plate and asks him, "Did your father often contact your mother and you after he went abroad?"
"We had a video call every day for the first two months, but then he stopped calling us." Chandler takes a bite of the bun and says thickly with his mouth full, "Dad said he's busy. I'm afraid it will disturb him if I call."
"Is that so?" Louis frowns.
He knows that Daniel's father is injured in Country XL, so Daniel goes over to help.
But he thinks there is nothing serious going on over there. Then why does Daniel stay there for so long?
As Chandler eats the stuffing, he screws up his face.
Since Louis is here, Chandler could only eat it up. Then he drinks up half glass of juice. "Louis, where did you buy it?"
"I made it." Louis also takes a bite, "Isn't it delicious?"
After Louis eats the stuffing, there is spicy and salty flavor on his tongue. It tastes bad.
He instantly freezes.
"It's fine, Louis." Chandler pats Louis on the shoulder and comforts him, "Louis, it seems that you don't have the talent for cooking, but you're good at making money."
Louis barely eats the stuffing up. He looks at the bun in his hand and thinks that it is really awful.
That night, when he sees Lily finishing a plate of tofu buns, he thinks they are very delicious. Only after he has a try himself does he realize the buns are awful.
However, Lily has eaten them up.
Thinking of that time when Lily praises the buns while eating, Louis is touched.
Lily doesn't want to put him to shame, so she eats a plate of tofu buns up. Louis thinks of the shredded pork noodles that he cooked in the morning. It is probably not tasty either, but she has eaten up as well.
Louis sighs, "Lily ..."
'How could I hate you?'
"Who?" Chandler asks him, "Louis, did you mention Lily?"
"No."
"Then who? Louis."
Chandler asks aloud. Louis ignores him and directly goes upstairs.
Chandler puts away the phone and walks behind Louis. "Louis, it's fine if you're not with Lily. Anyway, Lily would still be my mother-in-law."
