"Hmm..." Ye Jiu picked up her chopsticks and looked at the eight dishes in front of her, unsure of where to begin.

An hour ago, they returned to Ye Jiu's house together. On the way back, Lin Jin'an bought a lot of groceries, probably mainly to show off, as he chose some high-difficulty ingredients.

Then they went to Ye Jiu's house and started cooking.

Ye Jiu's kitchen is very large, but she doesn't go into it much. This kitchen is Lin Jin'an's domain. She even filled it with all kinds of kitchen utensils without Ye Jiu's knowledge, such as air fryers, microwave ovens, ovens, frying pans, rice cookers... all kinds of tools.

Lin Jin'an took out the ingredients he had bought and began to process them one by one, ready to show off his culinary skills. He spent a long time processing them, which caused the cooking time to be too long. Ye Jiu couldn't help but say, "I'm so hungry."

Li Jingxing immediately floated into the kitchen and started cooking. Taking advantage of his ability to pass through Lin Jin'an's body and move freely in the kitchen, he picked up some simple ingredients and quickly made four home-style dishes before serving them to Ye Jiu.

Just then, Lin Jin'an's dishes were finally ready, so now Ye Jiu had eight dishes in front of her.

On the left are Lin Jin'an's high-end dishes, exquisitely presented but in small portions; on the right are Li Jingxing's home-style dishes, large portions that are filling and look quite delicious.

Ye Jiu lifted her chopsticks and shifted them slightly to the left. Lin Jin'an's eyes lit up, eagerly waiting for him to pick up the food. She then moved her chopsticks to the right, and Lin Jin'an instantly became dejected. Li Jingxing then handed Ye Jiu a small bowl to make it easier for her to pick up food.

After pulling and tugging at each other for almost three minutes, Ye Jiu still hadn't taken her first bite.

Lin Jin'an, unable to wait any longer, moved his plate of food a little closer to Ye Jiu and used serving chopsticks to put food into Ye Jiu's bowl. "Aren't you hungry? Eat up."

Just as Ye Jiu was about to eat, Li Jingxing put more food in her bowl.

Hmm... this first bite seems quite crucial.

Considering that she had been eating Lin Jin'an's food for a long time, she would probably eat Lin Jin'an's food first.

Lin Jin'an couldn't suppress the smile on her face, and her eyes were full of provocation as she looked at Li Jingxing: You, the newcomer, are no good.

Li Jingxing wasn't angry; instead, he sat next to Ye Jiu and watched her eat with a smile.

Ye Jiu took her second bite of what Li Jingxing had made, and then they started taking turns eating, one bite for you and one bite for him, making sure the portions were about the same, as if afraid that someone would eat too much or too little.

"I'm full!" Ye Jiu pushed her bowl forward, and the two people who were busy putting food into her bowl stopped.

Lin Jin'an put down her chopsticks and asked with concern, "How come you're full after eating so little? It must be because Li Jingxing's food is too salty."

"Is that so?" Li Jingxing asked Ye Jiu with his eyes. "If that's the case, I'll improve next time."

Ye Jiu waved her hand, "No, no, no, it's fine, everything is very well made. Actually, I've already eaten a lot... Lin Jin'an, do you think my appetite has decreased because there are eight dishes today? How much can I eat by myself!"

Ye Jiu stood up and walked around the room to digest her food. "By the way, aren't you hungry? Why are you just watching me eat? And Li Jingxing too, do you need anything to eat?"

Lin Jin'an served herself a bowl of rice. "I'll eat now."

Li Jingxing tried to recall his few memories, then shook his head, "I don't need to eat."

Li Jingxing floated to Ye Jiu's side and asked, "Are you very full? Do you need me to rub your stomach?"

Ye Jiu curiously reached out and took his hand. Li Jingxing's hand intertwined with hers. He asked, "What's wrong?"

"It's nothing, I just wanted to try it out. You're completely different from the ghosts I know. You can touch things and even pass through them. It's amazing."

Li Jingxing stretched out his hand to show her, but his hand suddenly passed through Ye Jiu's palm. "It changes according to my thoughts. Actually, I don't understand why either."

"Hey, hey, what are you doing?" Lin Jin'an stepped between the two. "Don't get handsy." He hugged Ye Jiu and turned to Li Jingxing, saying, "Ye Jiu and you just met. Keep your distance. You two aren't familiar with each other."

The scene was utterly ridiculous. Ye Jiu ruffled Lin Jin'an's hair roughly. "We didn't do anything. Go eat."

Lin Jin'an's eyes were wary. "I don't believe it."

"It's no use not believing me, go eat." Ye Jiu pushed his head away.

Lin Jin'an simply picked up her rice bowl, sat down on the sofa, and stared at Ye Jiu and Li Jingxing, saying, "You two continue your conversation."

Ye Jiu: ...

"Never mind, I still have to write a report. You guys go have fun."

Ye Jiu slowly walked to the study, and only felt relaxed after closing the door to block the two people's view.

The meal was quite stressful. Ye Jiu shook her head and prayed that Li Jingxing would regain his memory soon and return to where he belonged.

The Special Administration Bureau's mission report was both simple and complicated. Ye Jiu opened his computer, wrote and stopped, and finally finished compiling it.

After you finish writing it, read it through once. If there are no problems, you can hand it in.

Then send it to Ming Youyi, and the mission will be successfully completed.

Just then, there was a knock on the study door, "knock knock knock."

"Come in." Ye Jiu didn't even look up. "What's wrong? Is something the matter?"

"I brought you a drink." Li Jingxing put down the cup he was holding. "Is it because I made it difficult for you to write that report?"

"Huh? No, I've been procrastinating on my report... Even without you, I wouldn't have been able to finish it quickly. Besides, you came at just the right time; I had just finished and submitted it."

Ye Jiu picked up the cup. "Oh, it's milk tea. I thought you were going to bring me coffee."

"Is that strange?" Li Jingxing asked rhetorically. "I think most little girls don't like coffee."

“I don’t really like it, but I think you’re like the kind of career elite who always has a cup of coffee in his hand.”

Although Li Jingxing's clothes were ordinary casual wear, completely unrelated to the workplace, he had a calm and composed demeanor, like a reliable leader in the workplace.

Moreover, Li Jingxing looks very mature, probably around twenty-eight or twenty-nine years old.

Ye Jiu propped her chin up and asked him, "Do you remember how old you are?"

“About? 28?” Li Jingxing chuckled. “I can’t remember. Maybe I’ve been inside the wooden statue for many years. I might be a monster that’s hundreds of years old.”

"How could that be? Your clothes aren't out of style at all."

"That's true, I was just joking."

Unable to resist her curiosity, Ye Jiu finally asked, "Then... are you already dead?"

Li Jingxing raised his eyes and smiled gently, "Probably? But it doesn't matter anyway. So what if I have a body?"

Ye Jiu grabbed his hand. His hand felt exactly like a human's, except it was cold. It was very comfortable to hold in the summer.

Ye Jiu was lost in thought. Holding hands with Lin Jin'an required holding ice cubes, but holding hands with Li Jingxing didn't have that problem at all.
