So that was how it was. Xu Le looked at the child sympathetically and said to his mother, “Why didn’t you bring him to see a psychiatrist? He hasn’t eaten at all this while. This can’t go on.”

“We did. We were thinking about raising another dog, but he refused. Every ti we ntioned this, he would throw a tantrum.”

The woman sighed deeply and looked at her son with heartache. “He’s so skinny. Compared to his peers, he looks pitiful.”

Xu Le thought that he hated the taste of “at” and not the texture of at. After chatting for a while, he found out that they would still co to this Chinese restaurant to eat the next day. Hence, he said, “If you co tomorrow, look for . I’ll make fried balls for him.”

The child rolled his eyes and handed the cup to Xu Le. “I want more. What is this?”

“salty milk.”

Xu Le shook the cup and said, “Do you want more?”

“Mmm.”

The woman understood that Xu Le was talking about atball. She knew that this chef who cooked well wanted to help, so she nodded at him gratefully and said, “Okay.”

She lowered her head and said in a negotiating tone, “Son, shall we co over tomorrow to eat his dishes?”

“Mmm.”

The kid nodded.

Xu Le served him a cup of crucian carp soup before waving goodbye.

‘When it was closing ti, a curly-haired man wearing round-frad black sunglasses suddenly ca over. He lowered his voice and asked in fluent Chinese, “Are you Xu Le?”

“Hmm

“Hello, hello. I’m Alex, editor of a popular magazine in Thailand. Can 1 interview you?”

“Tm afraid it’s not convenient.” Xu Le pointed at the cara and said, “I’m still recording the show. Please communicate with them.”

The man took off his sunglasses and said, “The sweet and sour fish you made, the Buddha’s Roll and crucian carp soup have already earned all the social dia’s food tags. That’s why so many people are attracted to visit the shop. If I’m lucky enough to interview you, with the help of our magazine traffic,

it will definitely be a win-win situation.”

Alex sized Xu Le up from head to toe. He had already co up with a lot of interesting titles in his mind. He was young, but he was good at cooking. His personality was steady, and he had a contrasting aura. He could attract attention with just a few description.

“No.” Xu Le smiled politely. “I’ve signed the contract. Please communicate with the program team.”

His tone did not allow for any rebuttal. After being rejected, Alex was furious. “Hey, stop right there!”

As he said that, he reached out to grab Xu Le’s collar.

suddenly, a strong and muscular arm lifted the curly-haired man up. He pointed at Xu Le and said a lot of things. The big guy in front of him had muscles and was about 1.9 ters tall. Anyone would be shocked if such a huge figure suddenly waved his fist.

The translator rushed out to negotiate with him. She waved her hands and shouted for him to stop. Luckily, the person only threatened Alex and put him down.

The interpreter was so scared that her face turned pale. She held onto the table and panted for a long ti. When she saw the staff rushing over, she said to Xu Le, “He knows that you’re the chef here. He said that he ca all the way here to eat the food you made and was waiting for the new dishes to be

served tomorrow. He warned that person not to touch you or else he will beat him up.”

Xu Le’s mouth twitched with a complicated expression.

After a long while, he let out a long sigh and said, “What a bossy tone.”

But in essence, he was still a man, not so delicate flower that needed to be protected!

Xu Le was embarrassed and felt awkward. He smiled at the man who helped him and thanked him.

The man raised his thumb and pointed at the food. “Good!”

‘The mont Alex landed on the ground, he imdiately backed away from the man and shouted, “Stop threatening ! When did I say I was going to hit him? Do you believe that I will call the police and demand compensation?”

The staff went up to negotiate and quickly stopped this farce. The restaurant was closed for the night and everyone was so tired that they went straight to sleep.

Xu Le made a video call to Lu Yuxi. “Beep.” After a few tis, the call got through.

In the blurry image, Lu Yuxi was frowning, followed by Xu Tian’s cries.

‘Xu Le’s heart skipped a beat. “What happened?”

Lu Yuxi was aggrieved and resentful. She pulled a long face and complained, “Your sister is really hard to deal with today. She made unable to sleep in the middle of the night!”

Then, she tud her head and said, “Tiantian, don’t cry. Co over. Your brother is calling you!”

“Brother,” Xu Tian cried until her face was red and her voice was hoarse. “When are you coming back?”

Xu Le’s heart ached as he frowned. He comforted her gently, “There are only two days left for the recording. It will be quick. Alright, stop crying. Tell , what happened?”

“Soone laughed at and said that I don’t have parents. They said I’m an orphan!”

Xu Le’s eyes darkened. What he was worried about had happened.

Lu Yuxi interrupted, “Since when did you say that? You said that my cooking was terrible, so you cried and refused to eat my cookinga€} So that’s why?”

In the end, Lu Yuxi cald down and asked in surprise, “Is Tiantian unhappy because of this?”

Xu Tian burped and whispered, “It’s also becausea€; it’s not delicious.”

Lu Yuxi pursed her lips and was speechless. She looked like she had suffered a huge blow.

Xu Le knew that Lu Yuxi’s cooking was diocre and not bad. He smiled and said, “Dad and Mom are still in closed-door cultivation. They will co back to visit you soon.”

“Really?”

Children were just so easy to coax. Xu Tian’s eyes lit up as she stamred, “When the ti cos, our family will be able to participate in the parent-child competition.”

“Yes.” Xu Le comforted her and said, “It’s getting late, go to sleep. You still have school tomorrow.”

They chatted for a while more. When Xu Tian obediently went to brush her teeth, Lu Yuxi suddenly carried a frying pan over. Xu Le imdiately recognized that it was a pan imported from Germany in the kitchen.

Both inside and outside were burnt black. He felt his heart ache for a mont and said, “What kind of weird cuisine did you make that you could burn the pan like that?”

“Hmph, Tiantian made a fuss about eating cola chicken wings, so I followed the instructions. Who knew that I would fail in the end? It was so burnt that I couldn’t even wash it clean.”

“It’s already dark outside. It would be weird if you hadn’t failed.”

After Xu Le teased him, he said, “You probably didn’t open the pan to stir the sauce at the end. I also made cola chicken wings todaya€””

As he said that, he took out a photo from his phone to agitate Lu Yuxi. On one side was a brown and appetizing chicken wing that was so fragrant and sweet that the bones would break with a single bite. On the other side, it was like a burning piece of coal, emitting a thick and fuzzy sll.

“Hmph, I’m not talking to you anymore.”

Lu Yuxi pouted and wanted to hang up the video call. When she was about to press the button, she suddenly instructed, “Co back early and be careful. Don’t tire yourself out from recording the show. Just do what you can..”
