Chapter 591: 377 Braised Fish Incident Leading to Pink and Bloodshed (2 Updates)_2
“Yo, Jiang Chengsi, since when did you start caring about these things?”
“I don’t care, but my brother does. Recently, he forced to go for a check-up and even made see a psychologist, thinking there was sothing wrong with my sexual orientation.” Jiang Chengsi was fuming.
But Jiang Shiyi just laughed and said, “Actually, liking n is nothing to be ashad of. I’m very open-minded, but don’t suppress your true self. If you really like n, getting married to a woman in the future would be extrely irresponsible toward her and the children.”
“A check-up isn’t a bad idea.”
Qi Zeyan burst into laughter upon hearing this, “Your brother is aweso, haha, I’ve noticed you’ve been getting more behaved since he ca back.”
“Why don’t you co over to my place? There’s a spare key under the flowerpot at my doorstep. Help yourself.”
“I’m afraid of bumping into your brother.”
“Isn’t Old Huo in Beijing? Why not hide out at his place? It’s so secure, even flies can hardly get in, not to ntion paparazzi being too scared to bother you.”
“Old Huo’s place…”
Ever since the bridal shop incident, Qi Zeyan had fled and hadn’t seen him since.
They were friends, after all, and couldn’t possibly avoid each other forever. After pondering for a mont, Qi Zeyan decided it was safest to stay at the Huo Family’s place. Thinking so, he went to his office to grab his laptop and even bought so desserts and snacks, planning to stay over at the Huo family’s house tonight.
His place was too boring, with too much routine and no late-night snacks. Since it was too far to reliably order delivery in the middle of the night, it was better to be prepared.
…
After making his purchases, he happily drove straight to Hexi.
At that mont, Tang Wan and Jiang Jinsang were in the photo studio, where the staff was introducing them to different photography packages and their prices. Tang Wan, feeling a bit dazzled, turned to Jiang Jinsang, “Which style do you like?”
“These few.” Jiang Jinsang could have said ‘anything’ or ‘all of them,’ but he also gave her his opinion when appropriate.
They were there today mainly to check out the package styles, not to imdiately take photos.
As they were leaving, Tang Wan got into the car and noticed she had made the trending list again, which would surely affect Qi Zeyan. She tried calling him, “Why is his phone off?”
“Too many people calling him; he’s probably turned it off and is hiding sowhere.” As a long-ti friend, she knew him well.
“Has he gone ho?”
“Either Fourth Brother’s place or Old Huo’s, but Fourth Brother might not be willing to take him in.”
Tang Wan thought of the “cult cp” and smiled knowingly, “Right, I’m going to my aunt’s place for dinner tomorrow. She’s cooking us braised fish herself.”
Jiang Jinsang, knowing Shen Shuci’s cooking skills, really wasn’t expecting much from the braised fish.
But tasting the fish would be a different story altogether…

anwhile, Shen Shuci was hard at work improving her cooking skills. Entering the kitchen, she neatly tied her hair and earnestly followed soone’s lead in cooking.
“Did you get all that?”
“Actually, I understand the steps pretty well; I’ve done it a few tis at ho. Maybe I just didn’t get the heat right. The taste is also hard to describe.” Shen Shuci really didn’t understand—using the sa thods, why the appearance and taste would differ so much.
“Do it once, let watch.” As he said this, he stepped aside to let her take the main chef’s position.
Outside the kitchen, the folks of the Huo Family, although seemingly busy with their own things, kept their gazes drifting towards the kitchen.
Once Shen Shuci took over the cooking, being observed made her inexplicably nervous, and suddenly she forgot what the first step was. As she reached out to pick up the knife, he stopped her.
“Apron.”
“Oh—” Shen Shuci took a pink printed apron from his hands, obviously used by his mother. Wearing the apron, and under his watchful eyes, she began thodically cooking the braised fish.
“Is this right?” Shen Shuci, fearful of making a mistake, sought his opinion with every step.
“I’ll tell you if there’s an issue, just keep going.”
“Okay.”
Shen Shuci, being quite hands-on and having practiced at ho a few tis, was already quite skilled in many steps; from removing the fishy line to scoring the fish’s flesh. Just as she heated the oil and was about to add the fish, “sizzle—” the oil splattered…
To soone not accustod to cooking, dodging was an instinct.
She, like a startled cat, jumped back three feet.
Just monts ago, poised and confident like a master chef, and now this spectacle…
The Huo Family mbers couldn’t help but laugh out loud, causing Shen Shuci to cough lightly, slightly embarrassed.
At that mont, with the fish crackling in the pan, just as Shen Shuci was about to use the spatula to flip the fish, soone had already swiftly done it for her.
