She withdrew her foot in an instant.
"Keep it a secret," Qiao Xi whispered in his ear. "You know it, I know it. The third party is dead."
Cheng Dong and Cheng Xi in the tree: !
"Uh... Brother, I suddenly can't remember anything. How about you?" Cheng Xi's eyes were vacant.
Cheng Dong nodded. "Yeah, my memory stops at the young master spitting blood. Strange, really strange."
On the way back, Yu Sinian only agreed to ride in Qiao Xi's car.
It wasn't unusual, but what was unusual was that after Yu Sinian glanced at Qiao Xi twice, Qiao Xi insisted that Yu Sinian ride in her car.
The two were hugging and cuddling, making people want to ship them but also hesitate.
Even Director Jiang was muttering behind them.
"Do you think Yu's Investment is really sponsoring this show to help the young master pursue his love, like it's rumored online?"
The assistant glanced at him. "If you don't know, how would we?"
Director Jiang pondered. "Let's observe a bit more."
Upon reaching the small house, Yu Sinian still slid over to Qiao Xi as if he had no bones. Qiao Xi propped him up.
"That's enough," Qiao Xi warned. "Don't think I don't know you were spitting ketchup."
Yu Sinian: !
He instantly stood at attention and instinctively reached to wipe his mouth.
Qiao Xi: "Don't bother wiping. There's nothing on your mouth. You took it from the restaurant earlier, right? Don't even try to hide it; I can tell the brand from the smell! I didn't call you out earlier, but don't embarrass yourself next time!"
"Oh." Yu Sinian pursed his lips. "But Li Cheng scolded me."
"What?" Qiao Xi instantly changed her mind. "In this case, it's okay to deal with it."
The young master's heart bloomed with joy!
At that moment, Director Jiang shouted, "Gather up! Dinner time!"
Director Jiang announced that the guests would have to cook their own dinner. This time he didn't resist, knowing it was pointless. He directly announced, "According to tonight's couple pairings, form teams of two and randomly assign ingredients to cook!"
Qiao Xi and Yu Sinian were paired together, Qiao Yuyi and Li Cheng, Zhu Yibai and Qin Rui, Luo Na and Cui Hao, and Yu Xiao and Tan Xiao.
Qiao Xi and Yu Sinian stood together, making quite a scene.
[Can the Earth keep spinning without bathing? Just hard to hold on! Just hard to hold on!]
[What are you waiting for? You can form teams now. Is the next step to move the Civil Affairs Bureau over for you? Fine, I'll go move it.]
[Look at how worthless Yu Sinian looks. If his intentions aren't genuine, then my dad's newly bought watch is fake.]
[Rumor has been spread, don't let us down.]
[Isn't anyone speaking up for the spatula? As we all know, Sister Xi's long hands are for easier hitting, and Nian's long hands are to support the ground when he's pretending. In conclusion, neither of them was born to cook.]
[Holy shit! I just realized that none of the people in this group can cook!]
[That's not even the scariest part; the scariest part is that there's also a mouth that must be fed.]
Everyone quickly got busy with the ingredients.
Yu Xiao's muscles were not built in vain, and he handled the pots with grace and style.
"Wow!" Host Tan Xiao provided commentary from the side. "It's a visual and olfactory feast! This scene makes you want to recite a poem—blue flames lick the red tongue, green..."
"Can you move further away?" Yu Xiao shot him a glare. "I've already been tortured by the most pretentious person in my life; I don't want any more. Can't you at least help with the cooking? Go wash the potatoes!"
"Oh." Tan Xiao turned and went to wash the potatoes.
On Zhu Yibai's side, she was lounging with sunglasses while Qin Rui made a vegetable salad in front of her.
At 1.93 meters tall, he was exceptionally pleasing to the eye.
"Do you like tomatoes?" Qin Rui asked.
"Depends on who makes them." Zhu Yibai fanned herself, then paused. "I think I'll like them today."
Qin Rui paused for a second, then suddenly smiled.
[Mom, I'm shipping this, shipping this, shipping this ahhhhhh]
[Stop fanning! Fan me! Stop fanning! Fan me!]
[I must date someone like this in my lifetime, I must date someone like this in my lifetime, I must date someone like this in my lifetime.]
On Qiao Yuyi's side, she asked Li Cheng, "Do you have any dietary restrictions?"
"I don't eat dog meat." Yu Sinian answered from afar.
Li Cheng squinted, sarcastically replied, "I don't eat pork either."
Qiao Xi was shocked. "Really? Not even a little related?"
Li Cheng: "..."
[Garlic, Li Cheng, we've got garlic]
[No need, no need. No need to ruin your lifetime reputation for a moment's pleasure.]
The young master laughed so hard he almost fell over, and was pulled by Qiao Xi to start chopping eggplants.
So the whole scene turned into:
Yu Xiao handling the pot, Qin Rui mixing salad, Qiao Yuyi stir-frying vegetables, Cui Hao steaming and boiling.
Qiao Xi and Yu Sinian, however, took a knife, crouched down, and slowly approached, using their eyes to intimidate that eggplant.
"I'm going to chop it! I'm really going to chop it! No way, I'm allergic to purple. Yu Sinian, you do it!"
"Okay!" The young master raised the knife from five meters away. "Ahhhhhh—"
Bang!
Half an eggplant hit Director Jiang's face.
The other half landed right in Li Cheng's crotch!
Li Cheng's face turned.
"Wow!" Both Yu Sinian and Qiao Xi turned their heads at the same time, eyes shining.
What a filial eggplant!
Everyone: "..."
Li Cheng: "......"
Twenty minutes later, everyone gradually began to eat, but the cutting board on Qiao Xi's side looked like it was stolen from Syria, in a state of complete disarray.
[Cutting board: I'm right here in front of you, look how different I am from before]
[They really can't cook. These two are hacking away at the cutting board, it looks quite creepy]
[Li Cheng didn't even dare to come close later. These vegetables seemed to have eyes and all flew towards him]
Qiao Xi's stomach growled, and she slumped over, "I'm starving, starving, starving!"
"Yu Yingdi." At this moment, a gentle call sounded.
Yu Sinian looked up and saw Luo Na standing in front of him, handing over a bowl.
She smiled lightly, "We made extra food, just enough to share with you. You must be hungry, right?"
As she leaned over, her long hair floated past Yu Sinian, carrying a faint floral fragrance.
Then she twisted her ankle and fell into Yu Sinian's arms with an "Ouch!"
