He finished his drink and poured himself another glass before saying, "It's a bit spicy."

Xu Lai couldn't help but laugh, "From now on, you can sit at the children's table when you eat."

Upon hearing this, Grandpa, Grandma, and Grandma Jiang all laughed.

Zhao Qingyun wasn't annoyed, and simply said, "Have you ever seen a child this big before?"

Xu Lai said rather mischievously, "Isn't it right in front of me?"

She remembered the canned oranges she had made before, so she went to the refrigerator, took them out, and divided one can among herself. She scooped out the oranges with a spoon and ate them, which helped to relieve the spiciness and greasiness.

After finishing her hot pot, she took out a small stove, lit a charcoal fire underneath, and then put an iron grid on it. She wanted to recreate the recently popular canned roasted milk.

She ran to the refrigerator and took out a handful of chestnuts. These were the ones she had picked earlier, and since she hadn't finished them, she steamed them all, dried them, and stored them in the refrigerator.

She also took out some longan from the house, and two oranges were placed on top as well.

Grandma watched her work, and seeing the roasted oranges, she couldn't help but ask, "Are these hot oranges delicious?"

Xu Lai said with a smile, "I saw it said online that it tastes good when grilled, so I'll give it a try."

She took a small pair of tongs and kept turning the chestnuts over. Once the jar was hot, she added brown sugar and tea leaves, stir-fried them until they were fragrant and caramelized, and then poured in milk.

But it was her first time making it, and she overcooked the sugar and tea leaves, giving it a bitter smell.

Grandpa shook his head: "I'll just eat some chestnuts, I won't drink your tea."

Xu Lai was a little embarrassed. "Grandpa, it's not burnt. It will definitely taste good when it's cooked."

When Zhao Qingyun arrived, Xu Lai's milk tea was just ready.

Her grandparents didn't want to try, and she was just about to try to persuade them when she saw Zhao Qingyun arrive, and her eyes lit up immediately.

Xu Lai handed him a disposable cup full of milk tea, saying, "Try it."

Zhao Qingyun was forced to take a step back by her enthusiasm, "I can do it myself."

The tea was scalding hot; judging from Xu Lai's posture, it looked like he was about to be forced to drink it.

He blew on it, and three pairs of eyes in the room were fixed on him. "How is it?"

Zhao Qingyun: ...I haven't drunk it yet.

He took a sip. It was slightly bitter at first, with a mild flavor. How to describe it? It was like pure milk with a little brown sugar powder added, but why was it bitter?

He still said, somewhat reluctantly, "It tastes pretty good."

Xu Lai nodded in agreement, "Grandpa and Grandma, would you like to give it a try?"

Grandpa and Grandma nodded, believing that Qingyun's words were trustworthy. "Then let's pour a little bit and try it."

Grandpa downed his drink in one gulp, then looked at Zhao Qingyun and said, "Good boy, you should tell the truth from now on."

After Grandma drank it, she said, "It's alright, it's alright. It's good to coax her. Sometimes this is a good thing."

Xu Lai couldn't help but say, "It's just a cup of tea, how did things turn out like this?"

Grandpa and Grandma got up and went back inside. "We're just an old couple, we won't join you in making tea around the stove. We'll go back to our room and watch TV."

Zhao Qingyun sat down, and Xu Lai picked up his cup, took a sip, and said, "Why does it taste a little bitter? Let's try again."

Zhao Qingyun gave him a look that said, "You just realized that?" He thought Xu Lai had already tasted the tea, so she was using him as the tea taster.

She added sugar and tea leaves, and this time she only stir-fried it for less than a minute before pouring in the milk.

Zhao Qingyun just said the flavor was bland, so she added a piece of brown sugar.

Speaking of brown sugar, the sugarcane at home hasn't been harvested yet. The sugar factory is about to open, and she guesses that her grandfather will go and harvest the sugarcane in a couple of days.

The milk tea that was brewed this time tasted better and was more fragrant. Zhao Qingyun peeled a small stack of chestnuts and longans for her. Xu Lai ate and drank the tea, feeling very comfortable.

One side of the roasted orange was burnt, so she kept the good side, took a bite, and found it tasted pretty good, still warm.

Although this round of roasted tea around the stove was somewhat disappointing, it was still pretty good overall, and she will continue to improve it.

After packing her things, she went back to her room to wash up and go to bed. After taking a shower, she lay in bed editing videos. The weather had been cold lately, so she hadn't been filming much and had only been updating once every three days.

After editing the video and posting it online, she shared it in a group chat, which attracted a wave of fans.

"Xiao Lai, it's updated!"

"I'm looking, I'm looking, I keep looking."

Xu Lai replied with a smile: "It's cold, and I haven't been working much lately, so I haven't had any material to shoot. Please forgive me."

A fan replied, "It's okay, it's okay. We'll still love reading your daily life updates."

"Xiao Lai, can you create a secondary account? Just to update things like makeup, shopping, and eating."

Xu Lai considered it carefully and thought it was feasible, so she replied: "Thank you everyone for your support. This alternate account is feasible. I'll update the alternate account videos in another week."

More and more fans are sharing their daily lives, with one fan saying, "Xiao Lai, I'm having this tonight." The accompanying picture is of Xinjiang fried rice noodles.

Xu Lai carefully looked at all the pictures posted by her fans and even commented, "It looks delicious."

When asked about her update frequency, Xu Lai replied uniformly: "From now on, I will update once every three days on my main account and once every four or five days on my secondary account."

"It's not enough, Xiao Lai. Can the video be longer, like a vlog?" a fan suggested.

Xu Lai considered it for a moment: "That works, thanks for the suggestion."

She was engrossed in what she was looking at when Zhao Qingyun came out after taking a shower. He smelled of shower gel and asked, "What are you looking at?"

Xu Lai showed him the content on the screen. Zhao Qingyun squinted and saw it clearly. One line stood out: "Xiao Lai, I'm introducing my brother to you. He works for a state-owned enterprise, is 185 cm tall, and is quite good-looking. I really want you as my sister-in-law."

Zhao Qingyun's smile faded, a sense of crisis creeping in. When did his girlfriend start being put up for online blind dates?

He hugged her and said, "Don't netizens know you have a boyfriend? How come you're on a blind date?"

Xu Lai exclaimed, "Really? Let me see."

She was staring at the fan's comment, "This is the food I made; my mom said even my dog ​​dislikes it," and didn't notice the comments below.

Upon closer inspection, she almost laughed. "They were just joking. These days, who would just randomly pick someone to marry online? Everyone would think it over carefully."

Zhao Qingyun just wanted a formal title, "Just tell me if you're willing to make my relationship public."

Xu Lai was amused by him and cupped his face, saying, "Don't take it so seriously, okay? This title isn't of much use to you, and your identity probably isn't suitable for appearing on camera."

Zhao Qingyun had a very clever plan: "I told my fans in the group chat that I already have a boyfriend, our relationship is stable, and we are very happy, so there's no need to make a video to prove it."
