Ever since Sun Minghao said that he considered Luo Yu a friend, he really did. After the wound on his face healed, he returned to school and had all his books moved to Luo Yu's side, and they became deskmates.

Li Tao wouldn't bother with such trivial matters as casually changing seats, nor could she do anything about it. But when Sun Minghao moved to sit at the same table with Luo Yu, Li Tao became conflicted. She was worried that Sun Minghao would affect Luo Yu's review, but she didn't know how to explain it to him. However, after observing him for two days, she found that Sun Minghao was just sleeping quietly on the table, not playing cards or making loud noises like before, so she felt relieved.

Luo Yu actually said that even if Sun Minghao acted up like before, it wouldn't affect him, because he was either sleeping or reading. Lately, he'd been practicing his bodybuilding skills late into the night to complete a task. With the college entrance exams just two weeks away, he knew he wouldn't be able to complete the task if he didn't speed up. While going to bed two hours later wouldn't affect him, he was used to getting eight hours of sleep a night, so he made up for the two hours during the day.

After class at noon, Luo Yu was about to leave the classroom when Sun Minghao stopped him and said, "Luo Yu, why are you walking so fast? Come on, I'll treat you to dinner."

"No, I'll go home and cook for myself." After knowing that they didn't have to worry about Luo Yu's college entrance exam, Luo's father and mother immediately started to take action to open a restaurant. They quickly found a suitable shop and have now started decorating it. So during this period, they were too busy to go home at noon. Luo Yu had no choice but to cook for himself and experiment with the effects of his basic cooking skills.

"Why don't you cook for yourself? Let's go out to eat together. I'll treat you." The little bully Sun Minghao took Luo Yu away in a familiar manner, without giving Luo Yu any chance to refuse.

When they reached the school gate, they saw Zhou Jiazhi and Zhou Jiahao. Luo Yu looked at them strangely. Yucai High School was only a dozen minutes' drive from Chongyang High School, and they were at the gate of Chongyang High School so quickly. They must have been the ones who usually left early.

The situation now was so similar to the last time. Luo Yu looked at them thoughtfully. Would they play childish games again to test him?

Facing Luo Yu's suspicious gaze, Sun Minghao knew that he must be thinking about what happened last time. He touched the back of his head awkwardly and said, "Well, don't worry, this time we will definitely have a normal meal."

"No." Luo Yu turned and left.

"Hey, Luo Yu, don't go, we really just want to eat." Zhou Jiahao shouted.

Seeing Luo Yu really leave, Zhou Jiazhi asked: "Minghao, what should we do?"

"What should we do? Go after him. Since he won't treat us to a meal, why don't we just go to his house and eat for free?" As the little bully, Sun Minghao always had the right to refuse others. No one had ever refused him. But he didn't get angry. Instead, he felt that Luo Yu was a genuine person. He agreed when he was willing, and never forced others when he wasn't willing. There was no hypocrisy at all.

"Luo Yu, wait." The three caught up with Luo Yu.

Luo Yu glanced at them and asked, "Why are you following me?"

"Let's go to your house for dinner. Since you don't want to eat with us, then we'll just go with you." Sun Minghao said shamelessly.

"You have to pay for your meals." Luo Yu is a person who will never let himself suffer any loss.

"ah?"

The three of them were a little confused. Sun Minghao thought he had misheard, "You mean, if we go to your house for dinner, we have to pay for the meal?"

"Of course, you can eat at a restaurant or at my house. Although the food I cook may not be as delicious as in a restaurant, since you want to eat, of course you have to pay me. I tell you, I have no money and cannot afford to treat you three young masters." Luo Yu said as a matter of course. Even brothers have to settle accounts clearly, not to mention that he is not familiar with the three of them, and there is no reason to treat them to dinner for no reason.

Is it necessary to be so direct? The three of them were speechless. Is it necessary to be so distant? After all, we are still friends, right?

The three of them didn't know that Luo Yu had already directly filtered out the three of them saying that they wanted to treat him as a friend. Luo Yu, who was introverted since childhood and used to being alone, didn't know what the meaning of friends was. So the idea of ​​making friends was just wishful thinking on the part of the three of them.

Sun Minghao gritted his teeth and agreed without asking how much he had to pay. "Okay, it's just a little money for food. I can afford it. But, Luo Yu, do you really want to cook for yourself?"

"My parents are not at home, so of course I did it myself. Do you want to do it yourself?" Luo Yu asked back.

The three of them shook their heads in unison.

Sun Minghao shook his head: "I can't."

Zhou Jiahao waved his hand: "I don't know either."

Zhou Jiazhi smiled: "I have never cooked before."

"Let's go to the vegetable market to buy some vegetables." Luo Yu led the way.

Zhou Jiahao wailed, "Ah... I still have to buy my own groceries..."

Returning to Luo Yu's home from the market, the three of them each clutched a bag or two of vegetables and meat, while Luo Yu only held his keys. Feeling relaxed and at ease, with free labor around, he naturally decided to buy dinner as well.

"Dear host, it's not good to let males into your home like this. This will put yourself in danger." The system popped up when Luo Yu opened the door.

As Luo Yu opened the door, he spoke consciously, "Do you think the three of them can beat me?"

The system thought about it and realized that it was right. How could three scumbags like Sun Minghao, whose physical fitness was only 5, be a match for its host, whose physical fitness was as high as 70? So it felt relieved.

Luo Yu's home was on the third floor. Although the house was small, Luo's mother had decorated it very cozy and kept it very clean. Luo Yu took out three pairs of shoes from the shoe cabinet next to them and asked them to change into them, then asked them to carry all their things into the kitchen.

"Okay, you all go out. You can eat in half an hour." Luo Yu ignored them and started to get busy without looking back.

Sun Minghao and the other two did not leave, but stood at the kitchen door and watched Luo Yu busying herself. Although it was her first time cooking, Luo Yu, who had basic cooking skills, did it very well.

After washing the rice and placing it in the rice cooker, he pressed the button and began picking and washing the vegetables. Luo Yu was incredibly quick, finishing them in the blink of an eye. Then he began processing the other meats. With a few swishes, the knife flashed, and a whole fish was ready. Luo Yu's movements were incredibly graceful, with a rhythm, an inexplicable melody, a delight to the eyes. The three of them were stunned.

In less than half an hour, Luo Yu had prepared three dishes and a soup.

Sweet and sour fish, mapo tofu, Dongpo pork, and pork ribs and winter melon soup—not only did the dishes smell delicious, but they looked every bit as good as anything made by a five-star chef. Foodie Zhou Jiahao couldn't wait any longer, and regardless of how hot the food was, he picked up his chopsticks and shoved a piece of Dongpo pork into his mouth. He whimpered from the heat, nearly crying, but he couldn't bring himself to spit it out, forcing himself to swallow the scalding meat.

"It's delicious, so delicious. This is the most delicious Dongbo meat I have ever eaten. It has good color, aroma and taste." Zhou Jiahao gave Luo Yu a thumbs up with his left hand, and his right hand reached out for another sweet and sour fish.

After tasting their food, Sun Minghao and Zhou Jiazhi both gave Luo Yu a thumbs-up. Then, as if they hadn't eaten in ten days, they began to devour the food. Seeing them wolfing down their food with such utter disrespect, Luo Yu raised his lip and drank his soup elegantly but not at all slowly. Well, it seems this rudimentary cooking skill is indeed a thing; the dishes he created were delicious, even for Luo Yu himself. Compared to the chefs at five-star hotels, they were even better, if not better.

The meal took only ten minutes, and the food on the table was swept away. Although the three of them were fast, how could they be faster than Luo Yu? So when the three of them finished eating, Luo Yu was already full.

"I can't take it anymore. I ate too much. I need to lie down for a while." Zhou Jiahao leaned on the sofa and touched his round belly.

"Are you a pig? You eat so much. Get up quickly and wash the dishes, do some exercise, and lie down after eating, or you'll get fat to death." Sun Minghao kicked Zhou Jiahao and ordered.

"Yes." Although he really didn't want to move, Sun Minghao, as the boss, ordered him to move. He walked over slowly and found that Zhou Jiazhi had already put away all the dishes. He happily rushed to him: "Brother, you are so kind to me. You actually helped me clean up."

Zhou Jiazhi dodged and said with a smile: "Hey, don't get me wrong, I just felt that it was not nice to eat Luo Yu's meal and ask him to clean up the dishes, so I helped to clean up. As for the job of washing the dishes, I'll leave it to you."

Zhou Jiahao immediately lost his composure. How could he have such a foxy cousin? He obediently picked up his bowl and chopsticks and went into the kitchen to wash the dishes. Luo Yu glanced at him suspiciously for a few times, and only after confirming that Zhou Jiahao would not break his bowl did he walk over to sit down opposite Zhou Jiazhi with confidence.

"Luo Yu, this is the food allowance. I have decided to have lunch here in the two weeks before the college entrance examination." Sun Minghao took out his wallet, then pulled out 10 100-yuan Chinese banknotes and placed them on the table in front of Luo Yu.

Zhou Jiazhi also put his and Zhou Jiahao's money on top of Sun Minghao's, and smiled gently at Luo Yu, "This is between Jiahao and me, so I'll trouble you for the next two weeks."

Come to think of it, his parents have been busy with the restaurant for the past two weeks, and it seems they won't have time to come back for lunch. He has to cook for himself, and for the three of them as well. Anyway, these three guys also have to pay for food. It would be foolish not to make money. Luo Yu put the money on the table and said, "Okay, but let's make a deal. I only buy groceries and cook. I won't wash dishes. I won't care if you come to eat after the meal is ready."

"No problem." Sun Minghao agreed without thinking. One thousand yuan is enough for two weeks of lunch. If it were in another small restaurant, it would be enough for the food for three people, but the food cooked by Luo Yu was so delicious that it was worth the price.

"Leave the shopping and dishwashing to Jiahao. He needs to lose some weight right now." Zhou Jiazhi always seems to be so gentle, but in fact, he is a cunning old fox with a dark heart. Just like now, he sold out Zhou Jiahao without a word.
