Jin Youxuan's feelings were very complicated. He never expected that such a super demon king in his mind would choose such a useless man as his partner.

Even if Ning Hongze suddenly changed his hairstyle and seemed to become more handsome, it couldn't change the fact that he was a good-for-nothing.

He doesn't think that changing his hairstyle will make him any more powerful; it's not a movie or a novel.

"Dao Lian, do your family members agree to your sister's relationship with Ning Hongze?" They didn't know much about Ning Hongze's family background, but judging from his usual clothes and appearance, his family's conditions probably weren't very good.

"I don't know," Dao Lian shook her head.

What do you mean by "I don't know"?

“My family doesn’t know about this, which is why I said I didn’t know.”

Jin Youxuan: "...Sister An is really bold—"

"Who says otherwise?" Dao Lian sighed softly. With his sister acting this way, he didn't know how angry his parents would be when the matter came to light.

Hopefully, they will understand by then.

Don't let it escalate into a major incident.

However, Dao Lian glanced around at the students who were filming videos.

I always have a sense of unease in my heart.

Dao Lian was pondering how he should speak up for his sister if things came to a head, but his eyes fell on their food box.

"Hey, wait a minute, is this food made by Ning Hongze?"

"Dao Lian?"

Jin Youxuan looked at him with a slight puzzlement.

Why did it suddenly jump to food?

"Brother-in-law?" Why isn't there a share for him?

Dao Lian looked at Ning Hongze with pleading eyes, "Brother-in-law, don't you think this is a bit unfair to me? We're in the same school, but my sister has it and I don't?"

Ning Hongze: "—" Could he have misheard? This guy called him brother-in-law?

Dao Lian, don't you think your image has completely collapsed?

He's clearly a prince-like figure, yet he can make such an adorable expression just for a bite to eat. Is he dreaming?

Jin Youxuan silently stretched out his right hand and pinched his left hand.

It hurts; it doesn't seem like a dream.

Is this true?

"Don't worry, I've definitely prepared a portion for you." Ning Hong then took out another portion from her backpack.

This was originally intended as an extra treat for Acha, but now, I have to give it up for now. My brother-in-law has already asked for it, so I can't just leave it unprepared.

Ning Hong said with a smile.

"That's wonderful." Ignoring his sister's mournful look, Dao Lian reached out and took the food box, then found an empty seat and sat down.

"That's mine."

"It's okay, I'll make it for you when we get back."

"Then I want to have a big meal."

"Okay, let's have a big meal then. You can eat whatever you want."

Meanwhile, Dao Lian was listening intently to their conversation, silently pondering whether she should go over for dinner tonight.

"Dao Lian, is this food really that delicious? So delicious that you don't care about your image anymore?" Jin Youxuan really couldn't understand. He had also eaten world-class cuisine. People like them had money and leisure, and they could eat whatever good food they wanted.

"I only understood one thing after I ate Ning Hongze's cooking."

"What is it?"

"Only delicious food should not be wasted." Dao Lian hesitated for a moment before going to the cafeteria to get empty bowls and chopsticks and sharing half of his food with them.

"Give it a try."

Jin Youxuan looked at the delicious-looking food in the bowl and carefully picked up a piece of chicken and put it in his mouth.

"Mmm, delicious."

It's unbelievable that there's such delicious food in the world.

Jin Youxuan finished the food in his bowl in a few bites, and then reached for the food in the lotus food box with his chopsticks.

"Dao Lian, I think I understand how you feel."

He wanted to eat such delicious food every day.

It's a very strange feeling.

The sadness I felt because of He Qianqian seemed insignificant in the face of such delicious food.

Could it be that he's a foodie at heart?

When He Qianqian arrived at the cafeteria with weak legs, most of the people had already left.

Dao Lian and Jin Youxuan were chatting about going out for dinner tonight.

Jin Youxuan also wanted to go to the Ning family's house for a free meal.

Dao Lian, however, was unwilling.

"I'm still hesitating myself about whether or not to go."

"Go ahead, why wouldn't you go? Didn't I already say I can cook delicious food?"

He was convinced of Ning Hongze's abilities.

So what if I'm not good at studying?

With such excellent culinary skills, he could conquer the world. Didn't you see? He even tamed the witch Dao An.

"Perhaps my sister and brother-in-law want some time alone together?"

"Don't be silly, didn't you see the people opposite them? Those two girls will definitely be there tonight."

"Ning Mengqiu will definitely be there; she's Ning Hongze's younger sister." The whole family lives together; it would be strange if she weren't.

“That’s it. Since we already have one third wheel, we won’t care about having a second or a third.” Jin Youxuan clapped his hands. “Then it’s decided. I’ll call back and let them know later.”

"Jin Youxuan, have you noticed that your development seems a little too fast?" Just an hour ago, he was still looking down on Ning Hongze, but in such a short time, he has completely changed.

"I understand the importance of striking first."

Is this sentence appropriate for this situation?

Just as Dao Lian was about to have a word with Jin Youxuan, He Qianqian walked over with a smile and sat down in one of the two seats.

"What are you talking about that makes you seem so happy?"

He Qianqian had a smile on her face.

Her cheeks were flushed, and her eyes exuded charm.

"Lian, Youxuan, what are you talking about? I want to hear it too."

"It's nothing, He Qianqian. You can eat slowly by yourself. I have something to do, so I'll go first." Seeing He Qianqian like this, Jin Youxuan's mood immediately soured.

The slight improvement in my mood, which had been brought back by the delicious food, turned sour again.

"Youxuan—what's wrong? Are you feeling unwell?"

He Qianqian reached out to touch Jin Youxuan's forehead, but Jin Youxuan slapped her away.

"Don't touch me."

"Youxuan, what did I do wrong? Why are you treating me like this?"

"No, you did nothing wrong. I'm the one who's wrong."

Jin Youxuan snorted coldly and left.

"lotus?"

He Qianqian looked at Daolian with a sad expression.

Dao Lian slowly wiped her mouth with a tissue and stood up. "I'm done eating. You can enjoy your meal."

Watching the two leave one after the other, He Qianqian bit her lower lip, lowered her eyes, and concealed the resentment in them.

What exactly happened?

Why are neither of them willing to talk to me anymore?

Before, Jin Youxuan clearly liked him a lot, didn't he?
