"What's wrong?" Tong Su asked cautiously, trying to hide her nervousness. "Is there something wrong with these ribs?"

He raised his eyes, his voice indifferent:

"Didn't Chen Ma cook this meal tonight?"

Tong Su rolled her eyes, didn't answer, and asked with a grin, "So, is it delicious or not?"

Is it delicious or awful?

Does this even need an answer?

Xi Chenzhou's lips curled slightly upwards as he glanced at her without saying a word. He simply picked up his chopsticks and filled a small dish to the brim.

Not saying anything?

So, is it delicious or not?

Tong Su felt involuntarily nervous. She leaned closer to him, staring at him intently, and said softly, "Give me a straight answer as to whether it tastes good or not."

Xi Chenzhou ate quickly, yet his movements remained elegant. He noticed Tong Su's tense little face, and his smile grew stronger.

Just as her anxiety reached its peak, he finally took pity on her and spoke.

"If you don't eat now, I'll eat it all."

"Huh?" Tong Su turned around in surprise and realized that more than half of the food on the table had been eaten!

If it tasted bad, would I have eaten it so quickly?

Xi Chenzhou, isn't he supposed to be incredibly aloof? He's actually learned how to tease her now?

"Wow, you're cheating!"

Xi Chenzhou raised an eyebrow: "How did I renege on my promise?"

“You…” Tong Su was speechless for a moment, picked up a piece of pork rib and took a big bite, “You deliberately didn’t say whether it was good or not.”

"yes."

Xi Chenzhou surprisingly nodded generously, and said with a smile, "I'm not kidding you, if you're watching me, how can I grab more food? How could the food you make not be delicious?"

He gestured to the empty bowl and chuckled, "Is there any rice left? I'd like to have another bowl."

"Of course! Brother, wait a minute, I'll get you some rice! Oh, wait a minute—" Tong Su was excitedly pushing back her chair and standing up when she burst out laughing after taking only two steps. "How did you know I made dinner tonight?"

Xi Chenzhou smiled without saying a word, his deep, dark eyes quietly watching her.

Although the girl had changed her clothes, you could still faintly smell the lingering odor of cooking from the kitchen. Her hair was casually tied into a ponytail, without any attempt at styling.

This casual home style is more natural and comfortable.

After dinner, the two of them put the pots, pans, dishes, chopsticks, and spoons into the dishwasher together. Xi Chenzhou sent Tong Su to turn on the TV, while he rolled up his sleeves and went to clean the dining table and dining room.

After he finished tidying up, Tong Su was already curled up on the sofa in the living room, hugging a cushion and watching intently.

However, instead of showing a movie as Xi Chenzhou had imagined, she chose a documentary.

It's still a historical documentary.

"...Xiao Lingchen's posthumous title was Emperor Li. We all know that when a deposed emperor is restored to the throne, he will definitely eliminate all his enemies, let alone choose a posthumous title for the previous emperor. However, after the deposed emperor Mu Sheng returned to the throne, he took the initiative to propose to choose a posthumous title for Xiao Lingchen."

On the television, the experts spoke eloquently, while Xi Chenzhou coldly raised his eyes and glanced at the portrait of Emperor Li, Xiao Lingchen, displayed on the television.

The man in the picture has a cool and handsome appearance, and looks to be only in his twenties or thirties. His dark eyes contain an aloofness that even a portrait cannot erase.

"Brother, come quick... Wow, this Emperor Li is really handsome."

Tong Su didn't turn around. She reached behind her, accurately grabbed the hem of Xi Chenzhou's clothes, and dragged him into the sofa.

She turned around, her eyes smiling. She had washed up and changed her clothes, and there was only a faint fragrance on her. Xi Chenzhou was about to speak when she pulled him tightly to sit down next to her.

"Watch a documentary with me."

She leaned her soft body against his shoulder without any defense, and with a slender pull, she hugged his arm like a pillow.

Xi Chenzhou's eyes narrowed, and his body tensed up abruptly.
