"Hey, not bad performance there, Crocodile Bro."
As soon as Chen Xing got home, he heard Chen Lingya looking at him with a smirk.
"You came to watch? Why didn't you come to find me?" Chen Xing put down his backpack, not particularly surprised; he had also heard some rumors. The escalating story of him and Zheng Weixin reaching outside the school and being picked up by his sister was no surprise.
"There were too many people, I was embarrassed."
Chen Xing snorted and looked at the empty living room, "Where are mom and dad?"
"They took dad to the hospital for treatment. Mom said there are cold dishes in the fridge, and if you don't want those, you can cook something else for yourself."
"I'm going to cook some noodles. You want any?"
"No green onion, less salt, no Sichuan pepper oil, extra chili, and throw in a fried egg."
"So demanding." Chen Xing rolled up his sleeves and walked into the kitchen.
