Zhang Xiaoying stepped out of the room just as Xu Changsheng had finished preparing the meal.
He had cooked the dishes that Zhang Xiaoying had taught him over the past few days, so fragrant that Dashun had squatted in the kitchen the whole time, stoking the fire and drooling incessantly.
Meanwhile, Zhou Tao had finished quizzing Xu Wencong and his sibling on their lessons, and he was particularly fond of Xu Wencong's talent.
However, Zhou Tao had also witnessed Xu Wencong's temperament and, even though he liked him, did not show it, instead offering a fair and balanced appraisal.
After hearing the feedback, Xu Wencong, who had been full of hope, couldn't help feeling a bit disappointed.
He thought he hadn't been excellent enough, which was why Zhou Tao hadn't given him a better evaluation.
On the other hand, Xu Jinyu and her sisters received compliments from Zhou Tao.
The young girl's face flushed with delight.
This only made Xu Wencong feel even more dejected.
