Having seen off Feng Yu, Lu Ban returned home to find the living room already tidied up.
The kitchen was spotless, everything gleaming anew.
The most troublesome step of cooking had been taken care of, and Lu Ban was somewhat tempted to start cooking more often.
But after giving it some thought, he decided against it, having tasted Feng Yu's cooking, he found his instant noodles utterly flavorless by comparison.
Although once regarded as a food vlogger, Lu Ban actually only knew the old Lu family recipes, which were passable in flavor, mainly due to the quality of the ingredients.
He watched the countdown on the Spring Festival Gala and heard the faint counting down from the neighborhood, and as midnight struck, the New Year's bells rang, filling the air with joy and harmony.
The song "Unforgettable Tonight" began to play, and Lu Ban's phone vibrated several times with messages, all of which were New Year's greetings.
