Before Lin Feng and Ning Aoxue returned to the Jincheng residential area, Xue Qingyi and Li Liping had already cleaned and organized most of the vegetables and at they bought, sorted and marinated them, waiting for Lin Feng to return and show off his skills.
It was Li Liping’s first ti learning to do household chores. Her clumsiness was repeatedly scolded by Xue Qingyi, yet Li Liping managed to endure it. No matter what Xue Qingyi said about her, she insisted on learning to use all the kitchen equipnt. Just for the bowls and chopsticks used for her experints, she put them through the dishwasher ten tis...
"I say, Miss Li, can you calm down a bit? I know you’re very passionate, but you also need to consider how much water and electricity you’re wasting. Do you still want to play?!" Xue Qingyi said while peeling a carrot, sounding a bit exasperated.
In truth, Xue Qingyi secretly admired Li Liping’s approach. After all, this pampered young girl, who clearly had never done household chores before, ca from a well-off family that allowed her to avoid these tasks. Yet Li Liping was nevertheless trying to learn, which was a good thing, no doubt.
Normal won are bound to get married eventually, and no matter how good a man is to you, even if he helps with chores or hires a maid, you still can’t rely entirely on others—it’s easy to beco disliked that way.
Moreover, cooking a al together as a couple is a form of bonding. In a dull life, you can’t lack entertainnt!
"I’m not playing..." Li Liping said earnestly, albeit a bit stubbornly, with a smile. "I am seriously studying... Besides, I’m not really a Miss anymore..."
"You want to learn, right..." Xue Qingyi said without much enthusiasm, pulling out a stack of bowls and plates that hadn’t been used for a while from the cabinet, and handed them to Li Liping with a smile, "Practice a bit more then!"
"This..." Li Liping looked at the dirty dishes in front of her, with dozens of plates and bowls, her face turning a bit pale. However, she eventually bit her lip and prepared to clean these dishes, to contribute her part...
"No need to rush, take your ti. We’ll start cooking when Lin Feng gets back; it’s still early," Xue Qingyi said with a smile.
Li Liping nodded and suddenly asked, "By the way, Miss Xue, is Lin Feng really good at cooking? Why do you and Aoxue always let him cook..."
"Lin Feng’s cooking..." Xue Qingyi pondered, "I rember he used to be really good at barbecue. When hunting outdoors, he would use very simple seasonings and make really good barbecue. Surprisingly, it never had any strange taste and always slled great... As for his skill in cooking other dishes, I’d say it’s probably just average!"
"Then why do you insist on having Lin Feng cook..." Li Liping questioned, feeling a bit puzzled. "Isn’t it more convenient to just eat out?"
"You don’t get it..." Xue Qingyi laughed, "Eating out is all about the thrill of being overcharged, but at ho, you feel the care and attention of a man. Even though the food might be the sa, you need to change the dining setting occasionally to keep things interesting!"
"Oh..." Li Liping nodded in understanding. She realized she was just starting to learn how to understand n; it was as if they never existed in her previous life...
However, growing up in a family owning luxury hotels and being accustod to gourt dishes prepared by top chefs, Li Liping had low expectations for Lin Feng’s cooking. She didn’t quite believe he was a good chef, given his usually carefree deanor...
...
When Lin Feng and Ning Aoxue took a cab back to the Jincheng residential area, Xue Qingyi and Li Liping had already prepared all the ingredients and washed all the dishes and utensils, waiting for Lin Feng to start his magic.
"You guys are so polite... waiting for to co back and cook, so relaxed. If I ca back after dinner, would you all just skip the al?" Lin Feng joked with a laugh, knowing that among these three girls, only Xue Qingyi, who had survived in the wild, could genuinely cook.
"Tch, if you didn’t co back, we’d just treat it as dieting... A missed al won’t kill us!" Xue Qingyi laughed, then nonchalantly pulled out a 300-gram bag of potato chips from under the coffee table in front of her...
"Eating so many snacks, it’d be weird if you were starving!" Lin Feng said, a bit speechless.
"Oh, by the way, Aoxue, is your waist okay?" Xue Qingyi greeted Ning Aoxue, "If you’re uncomfortable, feel free to go back to your room to rest. We’ll call you when the al is ready, or Lin Feng can bring the food to you!"
"No need... I’m fine now..." Ning Aoxue didn’t follow Xue Qingyi’s suggestion; instead, she went to a sofa in the living room where she could see the kitchen activities, and sat down, "I’ll just rest here for a bit!"
Xue Qingyi squinted her beautiful eyes, a hint of a cold smile appearing on her lips. She leaned over to Lin Feng’s ear and whispered, "If I didn’t know she’s on her period, I might’ve thought you took the chance to do sothing naughty with this girl while you were out!"
Oh my... So you knew!
Lin Feng looked at Xue Qingyi, utterly speechless.
"What? You didn’t succeed and now you’re blaming ?" Xue Qingyi thought Lin Feng’s resentful glance ant he had tried and failed to take advantage of Ning Aoxue...
"What nonsense are you talking about? I wasn’t planning to do anything like that, I was genuinely treating her..." Lin Feng shook his head with a bitter smile.
"Alright, alright... You treat every girl this way, using the Vitality Nourishing Needle all willy-nilly, without counting the cost..." Xue Qingyi replied irritably. "Lin Feng, you have to understand, no matter how you control it, the Vitality Nourishing Needle always consus your energy as a dium! You need to be careful..."
Xue Qingyi spoke quite frankly. Despite genuinely caring for Lin Feng, it sounded as if she was trying to control him, like a wife not allowing her husband out of the house...
"Okay, let’s leave this topic for later! I’m going to cook now!" Lin Feng waved his hand at the three girls, then dashed to the kitchen in style, starting his busy routine.
Sure enough, Xue Qingyi noticed that Ning Aoxue seed entranced, her head tilted towards the kitchen, showing a rather silly smile on her face, as if she were daydreaming. Li Liping displayed a similar expression—they couldn’t take their eyes off Lin Feng...
"They really think I’m invisible, huh!" Xue Qingyi felt a pang of jealousy, huffing a bit, she picked up the TV remote and increased the volu by more than twenty decibels. Finally, she could enjoy watching TV in peace.
Too bad, Ning Aoxue and Li Liping didn’t seem to notice what show Xue Qingyi was watching.
An hour later, Lin Feng finally prepared lunch, which was dragged to be served only at three or four in the afternoon. He placed dozens of steaming hot dishes on the table, with mouthwatering aromas wafting all around!
