When Mu An left his room, he happened to run into Su Zhirou.
The girl had faint dark circles under her eyes.
She looked listless and as if she hadn't slept well.
"Young Master!"
Hearing her speak first, Mu An was slightly surprised.
Another female lead tool was delivered to him, and of course, he wouldn't let this opportunity slip by!
With a determined heart, Mu An boldly wrapped his arms around the girl's slender waist.
Pulling her close to his chest, he smiled and said, "Not bad! It seems our Su campus beauty is starting to accept reality!"
"I love people who are self-aware!"
Su Zhirou's face was flushed with embarrassment, but the small hand resting against his chest didn't resist.
Last night, she had spent the whole night listening to Ning Er's name, and with so many worries on her mind, she hadn't slept well at all.
But she knew that starting today, or rather, from the moment her father traded her away, she had already severed ties with everything from her past (except for her mother).
Now, she was just a little maid belonging to the man in front of her!
[Due to the unchangeable reality, Su Zhirou has begun to try to accept it, emotional fluctuation +15, congratulations, you have received the reward [Constitution +1]!]
[From the girl's shy emotional fluctuation +16, congratulations, you have received the reward [Chinese Breakfast Recipe *5]!]
...
"Come on, today I'll teach you how to make breakfast; this will be one of your jobs from now on!"
With a bunch of emotional rewards popping up from the girl, Mu An was in a great mood.
He grabbed the girl's wrist and headed downstairs.
Unexpectedly, this scene was seen by Mu Yuer, who was just coming down the stairs.
She froze for a moment, her brows immediately furrowing, and jealousy surged in her heart.
She shot a fierce glare at Su Zhirou, especially at that man.
"Who are you to teach someone how to make breakfast? The stuff you make is inedible! Even dogs wouldn't eat it!"
"...."
Mu An's mouth twitched.
What's with this girl? Is she on fire this early in the morning?
Is her temper this explosive?
Didn't their relationship just ease up a bit yesterday?
Why is she acting like this today... ah, fickle woman!
If he weren't worried about her telling her parents, he might have already gone up and kicked her a couple of times!
At the same time, Mu An also made a secret resolution.
In the future, when developing this gold mine, he would definitely squeeze out her gold coins!
"She's called Mu Yuer; just don't provoke her!"
"Let's go! I'll teach you how to make breakfast! From now on, it'll be your job!"
Mu An casually explained and pulled Su Zhirou's soft little hand as they went downstairs, completely ignoring the tall girl.
Sometimes, deliberate ignorance is a form of 'cold violence' and can naturally provoke emotional fluctuations.
It can be said that Mu An's plan to extract her gold coins had already begun to take effect!
Sure enough.
Seeing that the other party actually ignored her, Mu Yuer was about to explode with anger.
She deliberately stomped heavily on the floorboards and angrily ran back to her room, slamming the door with a loud bang.
As for the few dolls on her bed with 'Mu An' written on them, they suffered the most...
[From Mu Yuer's angry emotional fluctuation +20, congratulations, you have received the reward [Proficiency +3000]!]
[Daring to ignore her, the girl decided to ignore you for the whole day and sulk alone, emotional fluctuation +25, congratulations, you have received the reward [Money +10 million]!]
[From the girl's resentment and sadness emotional fluctuation +30, congratulations, you have received the reward [Fortune +30]!]
...
On the other side, Su Zhirou was secretly mumbling.
She hadn't expected that there was a girl next to Mu An who was not inferior to her in appearance!
But it seemed their relationship wasn't very good either...
As for Mu An saying he would teach her how to make breakfast, she didn't take it seriously.
How could a rich young master possibly know how to make breakfast?
Even if he could, it would just be for show!
But thirty minutes later.
Looking at the incredibly lavish breakfast in front of her, she admitted she was dumbfounded.
It turned out she was the only one who had never touched a drop of water!
[Su Zhirou was deeply shocked by your superb culinary skills and felt ashamed of her previous prejudices, emotional fluctuation +15, congratulations, you have received the reward [Mental Strength +1]!]
Mu An chuckled inwardly.
He knew she was waiting to see him make a fool of himself, so he secretly raised his cooking skill level a bit with proficiency.
In fact, to avoid any mishaps, he skipped the advanced level and pushed it straight to the master level!
Now, even a top chef at a national banquet might not be able to cook better than him!
One could say, for the sake of a little emotional reward, he had worked hard!
"Calm down, isn't this all basic operation? Anyone should be able to do it, right?"
"Could it be that Su campus beauty can't do it?"
Mu An said nonchalantly, but his eyes subtly glanced at her, the implication of showing off was obvious.
Of course, according to his understanding, it was as if it was written in big letters, [Hurry up and explode gold coins]!
"...."
Su Zhirou didn't know what to say.
Is this even human language?!
But she felt embarrassed; she just happened to not know how to do it!
She really felt insulted!
It's just making breakfast, right?
She could definitely learn to do it!
She didn't believe that something a pampered young master could do, she couldn't do!
"I... I can definitely do it!"
Su Zhirou raised her head, a typical case of 'pretending to know when she really doesn't'.
After all, she was a smart girl; she couldn't always let him look down on her, right?
[From the girl's contradictory emotional fluctuation +18, congratulations, you have received the reward [Proficiency +2600]!]
"Since that's the case, then you can make breakfast tomorrow!"
"If it doesn't taste as good as mine, I'll have to punish you!"
Mu An suppressed his laughter and said, "How nice, another female lead who voluntarily jumps into the pit!" He was already thinking about how to quickly earn emotional rewards from her through this 'punishment'!
"...."
"Fine... I'll do it! I can definitely make it tastier than you!" Su Zhirou glared at him with her beautiful eyes, unwilling to back down.
"Hehe, then I look forward to it!"
"By the way, remember to send some to Ning'er later; that girl is still in my room catching up on sleep."
"As for you, if you don't want to go to class today, just take a good rest. If you need to take a leave, just let me know, and I'll help you with it!"
Saying this, Mu An chuckled lightly, waved his hand, and walked out.
Until the door was completely closed, Su Zhirou was still staring blankly in that direction.
After a long time, she looked down at a pile of sumptuous breakfast and couldn't help but mutter softly, "Why is he being so nice to me...?"
"And besides... this breakfast might just look good; it could taste terrible!"
But deep down, she knew that the breakfast, which was visually appealing, definitely wouldn't be just about looks. Otherwise, her taste buds wouldn't be salivating like crazy even before tasting it.
It felt like her whole body, even her brain, was saying: "I want to eat it right now, immediately!"
She took a small sip of the century egg and lean meat porridge.
Once it entered her mouth, the exquisite flavor exploded on her taste buds.
A taste she had never enjoyed before completely occupied the high ground of her mind.
It was like drifting in a turbulent sea, with wave after wave sending her soaring into the clouds.
Soaring straight up for ninety thousand miles, rising and falling, never stopping!
That feeling was truly indescribable, exhilarating beyond words!
This flavor was probably a culinary realm she could never achieve in her lifetime!
Indeed, she had lost! Completely lost!
[Your unintentional kindness has made Su Zhirou a bit infatuated, emotional fluctuation +15, congratulations, you have received the reward [Proficiency +2000]!]
[Seeing the huge gap between your cooking skills, the girl is convinced, emotional fluctuation +16, congratulations, you have received the reward [Stamina +5]!]
Even though she had lost, Su Zhirou didn't feel too sad inside.
The corners of her lips slightly lifted as she picked up some breakfast and walked towards Mu An's room.
That guy was clearly a 'bad person,' yet he was unexpectedly nice to his woman!
What Su Zhirou didn't know was that after she left, Mu Yuer, who had just finished washing up, happened to pass by the dining table.
There was still quite a bit of breakfast left that made her appetite surge, and her cravings were being stirred.
Could this be breakfast made by that guy Mu An?
Hmph!
It must not taste good! (Tsundere)
At most, it just looks good! (Tsundere +1)
She didn't believe that lazy scoundrel could make such delicious breakfast! (Tsundere +99)
However... to expose this false appearance...
She looked around and decided to sneak a taste.
As soon as she took a bite, she couldn't stop...
"Damn it, how can he make breakfast this delicious!"
"The most frustrating part is that I've been living with him for so long, and I didn't even know!"
"Damn it! So infuriating! I will eliminate you in place of the moon!"
"Woo woo woo~~ it's really too delicious! No! I can't submit to that scoundrel Mu An!"
"These are all enemies; I must take responsibility for eliminating them!"
...
After a long time.
Su Zhirou came downstairs.
She blinked her beautiful eyes, looking at the shiny plates, and couldn't help but feel confused.
She remembered there was still quite a bit of breakfast left, right?
How could it all be gone in the blink of an eye? Could it be... haunted!
