Xu Zhaoyue took it and smelled it. "I like it. I was missing for half a year, but my memory is that I was only away from you for two months. How could my preferences have changed?"

"I'm glad you like it, Miss. I'll go cook. Is there anything you'd like to order?" Yue Lanxing's lips curled up; his joy was undisguised.

"Just some simple home-style dishes will do. Eating too much at night is hard to digest, but I want to eat fried spring rolls." Xu Zhaoyue made her request while thinking that she couldn't eat anything greasy.

Yue Lanxing naturally agreed to everything and even offered a solution: "I'll boil some hawthorn water to cut through the greasiness."

"Mmm." Xu Zhaoyue nodded obediently.

When Wang Wanfeng and the maid who brought the clothes came in, Yue Lanxing was in the kitchen discussing cooking with the cook who brought the vegetables. After hearing the noise, she came out wearing an apron.

"Aunt, why did you come all the way here?" Yue Lanxing asked.

Wang Wanfeng had come to check on things, but she didn't expect to see her nephew wearing an apron. "Oh, I came to see Miss Xu. You're cooking yourself, aren't you?"

"Miss Yue likes my cooking. She hurt her foot earlier and is resting upstairs now," Yue Lanxing told her aunt.

The upstairs door was ajar. Yue Lanxing had just said that if anything happened, he could hear her just by calling him. Xu Zhaoyue heard the sound of high heels and turned around to see Wang Wanfeng standing at the door.

"Auntie." Xu Zhaoyue tried to get up from the sofa, but Wang Wanfeng quickly made her sit down. "Didn't you hurt your foot? Please don't move."

"I'm not hurt." Xu Zhaoyue stretched out her feet, her fair and tender feet showing no signs of injury. "Lanxing was just too careful. It was just a little scrape, but it's all healed now."

Wang Wanfeng's lips twitched. It wasn't even a minor injury; judging from her nephew's tone, she thought it was something serious like stepping on glass. "This...this shows how much he cares about you."

"Lanxing has been quiet ever since he came back. I thought boys wouldn't be very attentive, so I'm relieved. I've left the clothes here, so I won't bother you any longer."

Originally, Wang Wanfeng had been thinking of staying to help, but now she wanted to get away from the place. The atmosphere of the young couple meeting was too sweet, and she was too old to handle sweets.

"Goodbye, Auntie." After saying goodbye to Wang Wanfeng, Xu Zhaoyue got up and changed her clothes. She quietly opened the door to see what was going on downstairs, but after listening for a while, all she heard was the sound of stir-frying, so she closed the door again.

After Xu Zhaoyue closed the door, Yue Lanxing peeked out, glanced upstairs, and went back to cooking.

Xu Zhaoyue didn't have to wait long. Yue Lanxing had someone helping her prepare the six small portions of dishes, so she was quite fast. "Knock knock knock." Yue Lanxing knocked on the door. "Miss, the dishes are ready."

"Hmm? So fast." Xu Zhaoyue opened the door and met Yue Lanxing's gaze. The lamplight gave her a warm feeling, making Yue Lanxing feel very at ease.

Seeing that he didn't speak, Xu Zhaoyue pushed his arm and walked out, saying, "I can smell the fragrance."

"Oh right, let's go eat." Yue Lanxing snapped out of her daze, took Xu Zhaoyue's hand, and sat down at the table.

Every dish was one of Xu Zhaoyue's favorites. "Let's eat," Xu Zhaoyue said.

"Hmm, try this and see if it tastes like the ones Aunt Wu makes." Yue Lanxing picked up a fried spring roll and placed it on Xu Zhaoyue's plate. "Wow, not bad! You've learned about 80% of it." Xu Zhaoyue gave her feedback after eating.

With those words from her, Yue Lanxing knew that her studies had not been in vain.
