After several dozen minutes, as Xu Lin was preparing the final dish, the doorbell rang, startling the three spectators who had been absorbed in watching. Li Yuan hurriedly walked over to open the door.
Is it your female classmate?
Dad, why emphasise female classmate?
Cough! Son, youre cutting the carrots and potato strips very finely. Teach ; Ill mix them for you later.
Dad, your knife skills arent
Before Xu Lin could finish, his mothers voice interrupted. Instantly, Chu Qingchan, who was sitting at the dining table, stood up.
Qingchan, your sister is here!
What do we do? Chu Qingchan looked at him pitifully, and Xu Lin shook his head helplessly.
If shes here, shes here. Dont worry, Ill handle it.
Xu Lin casually said this, flipping a ladle, and Mapo Tofu smoothly entered the plate.
So fragrant! Its perfect timing for a al. Sorry for the intrusion.
No problem at all. Its livelier to eat together. Li Yuan said, but Chu Qingchans face turned frosty.
Why are you here?
Sister, I slled sothing delicious.
She lightly approached the table, swinging her golden twin ponytails, one landing on Chu Qingchans neck.
Chu Qingchan forcefully pushed her hair aside, but her sister just smiled, unfazed.
Sister, when are you coming ho?
I have so new ideas recently, learning from Teacher Guan, so I wont be going back.
Teacher Guan, the demon king Guan? Sister, can you still sing?
Chu Fengyi, if you want to leave, leave. If not, sit down and eat quietly.
Sure~ Ill sit next to my brother-in-law. Wheres my brother-in-law?
Where did you get a brother-in-law? Dont talk nonsense. Xu Lin shouted from the kitchen, then walked out carrying a dish.
Mapo Tofu! Did my brother-in-law cook all of these? So impressive.
She was praised in a coquettish manner, but Xu Lin didnt believe a word. He still rembered the last ti she attempted a backflip.
Xu Lin put the dishes down with a cold face. The doorbell rang again, and he hurriedly went to answer it.
Wearing a floral dress, Ji Yun entered his sight. He paused for a mont, then smiled.
Although she was always beautiful, there was a difference between school uniforms and casual clothes. The waistband accentuated her figure perfectly.
Why are you wearing a skirt today?
Doesnt it look good?
It looks good, but I told you not to bring anything. Xu Lin noticed she was holding a bag.
Its just so cooked food from ho, not bought separately.
Im treating you to a al, and you still bring stuff. My future father-in-law might complain.
Whos your future father-in-law? Stop talking nonsense! Ji Yun glanced inside, feeling a bit embarrassed.
Co in quickly; no outsiders; just Miss Chus sister is here.
Oh.
Ji Yun entered the house, and Xu Feng and Li Yuan also welcod her. She greeted them shyly.
Hello, Uncle and Auntie.
Take a seat. Take a seat. You often help Xu Lin with English. Were often not at ho, so thank you even though we dont have ti.
Its nothing. Studying together is more efficient.
Oh? In what way is it more efficient?
Following the voice, Ji Yun looked and saw a blonde foreign girl smiling at her. She smiled back, a bit puzzled. What is that supposed to an?
Chu Fengyi, behave yourself.
Sister, Im just afraid a little fox might steal my brother-in-laws heart.
Hearing this, Ji Yun suddenly froze, looked at Xu Lin, and felt her heartbeat slow down for a mont. Is Miss Chu Xu Lins girlfriend?
And theyre even having a al together. Uncle and Auntie also let her stay at ho. Is that so?
In her mont of confusion, Chu Qingchan sternly said, Hes not your brother-in-law! Dont talk nonsense. If youre not eating, then leave.
Alright, Miss Ji, sorry. So, are you Xu Lins girlfriend?
I no Ji Yun blushed instantly, not sure what to say.
Enough, Chu Fengyi. If you have any issues, talk to . Dont create a scene here. Eat properly, and if you have sothing to say, say it later.
At this point, Xu Lins tone changed, his face becoming stern, surprising even his parents, who were most familiar with him. They had never seen this expression on Xu Lin before.
Chu Fengyi, however, followed his gaze, putting away her smile. Chu Qingchan instantly beca nervous; she knew her sister very well.
When she smiled, it was at most sharp-tongued, but once she turned serious, she ant to do sothing.
But the next second, she made no move. After locking eyes with Xu Lin for a few seconds, she slowly averted her gaze.
Alright, well talk later.
Lets eat. Xu Lin also dropped his serious expression, smiling, his face changing rapidly.
Everyone took their seatsXu Feng, Li Yuan, and Ji Yun on one side, while Xu Lin and the Chu sisters on the other. Xu Lin thought it was safer to sit beside the sowhat prickly rose than to let Ji Yun be close to her.
Although he couldnt beat her, he had just spent 6,000 points on acquiring two sowhat mystical skills, Lingxi Breathing and Bright Morning Steps.
Having obtained these skills, he confird that Bright Morning Steps was indeed similar to light-footed techniques, though not as miraculous as portrayed in TV dramas. Lingxi Breathing was exactly what it sounded like.
After trying it, he felt an instant lightness in his body. With prolonged practice, it would undoubtedly improve his physique.
Coupled with his self-defence techniques and this light-footed skill, he felt confident that even if he couldnt win a fight, he could certainly escape. So, he felt quite pleased with himself just now.
Lets eat the dishes; Ill serve the rice. Li Yuan shouted, and everyone started to try the dishes.
Chu Fengyi glanced at the dishes in front of her, subtly furrowing her brows. But as her sister picked up her chopsticks, she did the sa.
As she put a piece of at into her mouth, she was montarily stunned. Scooping up a spoonful of tofu, her eyes brightened a bit.
She had eaten many dishes prepared by professional chefs, both Chinese and Western, better than what they were having now. However, Xu Lins dishes gave a different feelingsimple yet delicious.
Others also started praising Xu Lins culinary skills. Xu Lin waved his hand modestly.
There are many dishes I still cant make. I just picked a few that Im good at. Other than that, Im far from a professional chef.
I didnt expect my son to be really talented, especially with this cold salad. Next ti your uncle and the others co for a al, you should make this. Theyll rember it until next year, for sure.
Originally, Xu Feng thought he liked San Xian the most, but unexpectedly, this casually made cold dish made him think it was the most delicious.
Classmate Ji, co out with us for shopping later, Li Yuan suggested as they returned to their seats.
Well, Auntie, Im okay. Ji Yun glanced at him, seeking help, and Xu Lin nodded.
After all, it would be ti for the Chu sisters to chat later, and as just a student, Ji Yun couldnt handle such scenes.
After finishing the al, the dishes were almost wiped clean. Xu Lin placed the bowls and chopsticks in the sink, and Xu Feng and Li Yuan prepared to go out with Ji Yun.
Xu Lin is Miss Chu the one nad Chu Qingchan? Ji Yun ran to his side and asked softly.
Yeah, I thought you didnt watch TV dramas and wouldnt know her.
I dont watch much, but shes so beautiful that I naturally recognise her. However, I didnt expect her to show up here. Last ti, I actually talked to her.
Today, you had a al with her. Its fine. Shes temporarily out of the spotlight now; you dont have to treat her like a celebrity.
Xu Lin, I dont know the details, but it seems theres so conflict between the sisters. However, theyre family, after all. Let them handle it themselves.
Yeah, I know.
Hearing Ji Yuns advice, Xu Lin instinctively patted her hand. It was a habit in the Xu family.
Feeling Xu Lins large hand on her skin, Ji Yun quickly withdrew her hand, blushing, and ran to the door.
Not far away, Chu Fengyi, still sitting at the dining table, saw this scene and raised an eyebrow at her sister.
If you dont try a bit harder, my brother-in-law might run off with the little fox. After all, hes still young.
Chu Fengyi, be quiet.
Chu Qingchan turned her head away, but she knew she had been a bit jealous just nowjust a little bit.
