Speaking of which, it was her kind intention, and just as she said, the car wasn’t for free; you had to put in so effort. Smiling, you nod and say, "Alright, from now on, I’m part of the car-owning club too."
Then, Dong Fangxiao added from the side: "Loser."
You roll your eyes, pfft, how could a grown man argue with a woman!
Once in the car, you find that the key is indeed already inserted. You stretch out your finger and press the push-to-start button, and at the mont the engine cos to life, a sense of unexplainable excitent suddenly surges in your heart.
With both hands on the large steering wheel, looking at the dashboard, center console, gear shift, seats, and Zhao’er sitting in the passenger seat, you feel as if your heart is wrapped in a sense of happiness.
"Woof!"
Little Hei jumps into the cargo bed, tail wagging enthusiastically, seeming to enjoy the feeling of being blown by the strong wind.
"Let’s go!"
With a press of the accelerator, the powerful push takes you all out of the villa...
The neighborhood is as quiet as ever. In the twilight of the setting sun, there are elderly people strolling along the cobblestone path beneath the flowers and vines, while two elders are playing chess under the nearby Osmanthus tree, with several more watching. A few kids are also playing and chasing each other nearby.
"It’s been a long ti since I’ve been here, I didn’t expect it to be the sa."
Wu Qiyi gets out of the car, her face adorned with an intoxicating smile.
"Zhao’er, what are you looking at?"
After getting out of the car, Zhao’er keeps looking up towards the balcony entrance of your ho as if soone is standing there.
Even with your Sen Luo Eye, you still can’t see anything there, and you can’t help but be puzzled.
"Yun, that person has been watching us."
Zhao’er points towards the balcony.
With that, you suddenly turn to look in that direction, but the Sen Luo Eye still doesn’t reveal anyone.
"Zhao’er, who is he? Male or female?"
"A man, he’s gone now." Zhao’er withdraws her gaze and then turns to look at you. It takes her a long ti to say sothing that surprises both you and Wu Qiyi, "You two look a bit alike."
"A bit alike?" Wu Qiyi quickly approaches Zhao’er and asks, "Zhao’er, are you saying that the person you saw looks a bit like Mu Yun?"
"Mhm," Zhao’er nods.
Wu Qiyi turns to you, hesitantly saying, "Mu Yun, could he possibly be..."
"Let it be, today is a happy day, let’s go ho."
With that, you grab Zhao’er and Wu Qiyi’s tender hands and head towards your ho.
At that mont, your mind is still pondering the man Zhao’er ntioned earlier; you weren’t at all aware that you were holding two stunning beauties in your left hand, nor did you see the teardrops glistening in Wu Qiyi’s eyes...
"Mom, we’re back."
As soon as you push open the door, a tantalizing scent wafts out from inside the house.
Mmm~~
Delicious!
So delicious!
"Back already?" your mother poked her head out of the kitchen, holding a kitchen knife in her left hand and gripping a carp that was frantically struggling in her right hand. "You little rascal, co over and help your mom kill this fish!"
"Aunt Ying, let help you."
Wu Qiyi stepped past you and quickly walked towards your mother.
To see Wu Qiyi, a princess-like miss, take the kitchen knife from your mother’s hand and skillfully grab the fish’s tail, then with a swift motion, she pressed the fish firmly on the chopping board. Following up with the back of the knife, she gave the fish head a well-asured smack, and the fish instantly stopped struggling!
Huh?
You didn’t expect Wu Qiyi to knock out the frantically struggling carp so easily!
Right after that, Wu Qiyi used the sharp kitchen knife to slice open the fish’s belly.
"Little Yun, here." Your mother handed Wu Qiyi a glove, but Wu Qiyi simply shook her head with a smile. "Aunt Ying, I don’t need this."
As you watched in amazent, Wu Qiyi reached into the fish’s belly with her fair fingers, deftly pulling out the internal organs one by one.
Then, cleaning the fish belly and scraping off the scales, Wu Qiyi’s actions looked extrely practiced, as if she had been doing this for a long ti.
"You little rascal, what are you staring at?" Your mother turned her head to look at you. "I tell you, us won from the Old Li Family have to have this skill, right, Little Yun?"
Wu Qiyi gave a shy smile and didn’t reply.
No, no, no, this picture isn’t right. Your wife is still standing there, dazed and adorable, just watching. The one who stepped in is just your childhood friend, a dear friend.
"Mom..."
You had just opened your mouth when your mother turned again to Zhao’er. "Zhao’er, co in and help mom chop the at into mince, and then slice these ginger pieces into strips and chop the scallions as well."
"Okay."
Surprisingly, Zhao’er agreed readily and even rolled up her sleeves and walked in.
This isn’t right, when did Zhao’er learn to use a knife?
However, as soon as Zhao’er picked up another kitchen knife, you suddenly found that her dazed and adorable aura completely changed. At that mont, she was like a swordsman ready to strike. She took a foreleg cut of pork from your mother, tossed it into the air, and after a few flashes of cold light, those pieces of at turned into neat cubes!
"Wow!"
Not only you, but even Wu Qiyi and your mother exclaid in surprise. They didn’t expect Zhao’er’s knife skills to be so sharp!
"Chop, chop, chop..."
Zhao’er, holding the kitchen knife, chopped the at on the cutting board at a speed invisible to the naked eye into mince!
After that ca the ginger and scallion chopping; Zhao’er did it with ticulous care, looking every bit the seasoned chef who had worked for decades in a kitchen.
Your mother asked both Zhao’er and Wu Qiyi, "Tell , you two didn’t just co out of a professional chef training class, did you?"
Wu Qiyi giggled and said, "Aunt Ying, how could I be a professional chef? I just know how to kill chickens, ducks, and fish. When I was recovering and restoring my health, I received rigorous survival training, so I’m not sensitive to blood and gore. On that deserted island, I mostly ate things raw, other than barbecue, I can’t do much else."
You didn’t expect Wu Qiyi to have such an experience, and sothing tugged at your heart.
Your mother glanced at you and then asked Zhao’er, "And what about you, Zhao’er? Have you survived on a deserted island too?"
Zhao’er casually pointed towards the TV in the living room, still batting her dazed and adorable big eyes, and said nonchalantly, "Learned from that."
Your mother imdiately burst into hearty laughter, embracing Zhao’er and Wu Qiyi in her arms, laughing and saying, "It seems I no longer have to worry about the little rascal starving to death in the future. You two girls are simply the best gift that heaven has bestowed upon , muhahaha..."
"Cough!" You suddenly coughed lightly and said to your mother, "Mom, the water in that pot is boiling over..."
