"Anyway, I'm here for dinner, and I even brought a gift." Zhu Zi said confidently, as if by magic, she produced a bouquet of flowers, though the packaging was rather simple.

No, actually it wasn't wrapped; it was just a bunch of bare roses.

My cousin came out of the kitchen carrying groceries. She was stunned for a moment when she saw Zhu Zi, but her eyes lit up quickly. This young man is really handsome.

"Grandma, this is my brother, he..." Tian Tian was quite embarrassed, not knowing how to explain Zhu Zi's uninvited arrival.

My cousin smiled broadly, "You two siblings are both so handsome. Sit down, dinner will be ready soon."

Zhu Zi hurriedly presented the flowers. His cool appearance would definitely not be popular if he were ugly, but this guy was so good-looking that even when he rolled his eyes, he was still handsome. His cousin couldn't stop smiling. She took the flowers and loved them. This young man was handsome and sensible.

"Good child, the flowers are so beautiful, I'll keep them in a vase."

My cousin happily took the flowers to find a vase, and asked Ye Qingqing to keep an eye on things in the kitchen so the food wouldn't burn.

Ye Qingqing rolled her eyes at Zhu Zi, who had swaggered down to sit. She had misjudged him; it turned out this deadpan face was actually quite good at charming women, and his previous aloofness was all an act.

Zhu Zi ignored her and sat aloofly, but kept glancing at Tsumabuki Minami out of the corner of her eye. Alarm bells were ringing in her mind. This guy was more suspicious. Look at how he was talking to Tian Tian and laughing so flirtatiously. Who was he trying to impress?

In fact, Minami Tsumabuki only smiled politely and exchanged a few pleasantries with Tama.

Zhu Zi secretly glared at them a few times, secretly glad that he had come to the right place today. Otherwise, he would not have known that there were so many ill-intentioned wolves here, and he would not have known when his sister was tricked away.

Tsumabuki Minami, with his keen senses, looked at Zhu Zi with a puzzled expression. He felt that this person seemed to be hostile towards him, but he didn't know this man at all. What was going on?

My cousin came out with the arranged flowers and placed them on the coffee table in the living room, right in front of the sofa where Zhu Zi and the others were sitting. The original roses had been skillfully arranged by my cousin and looked quite presentable. Placed in an antique vase, they instantly became more elegant and sophisticated, elevating the style of the entire room.

"These flowers are really nice, even more vibrant than the ones I bought at the flower shop. Where did you buy them?" My cousin was increasingly satisfied with them and asked Zhu Zi about the flower shop so she could buy her flowers there in the future.

Zhu Zi touched her nose. "It's nearby, but I don't remember the name."

"Look more closely next time, these flowers are really fresh," her cousin advised. Zhu Zi nodded, but the words went in one ear and out the other.

Who knows what the flower shop is called?

My cousin arranged the flowers and roared at the second floor, "Aren't you up yet? The sun's already high in the sky! Don't force me to pull the covers off!"

Tsumabuki Minami felt the tremor in the barrier, as did Zhu Zi. After their cousin went to the kitchen, they both rubbed their ears, terrified of her roar.

The tigress was indeed not made up out of thin air.

"Oh dear... why did you add water... ouch..."

When my cousin entered the kitchen and saw the pot of soup bubbling away, her eyes widened in shock. Her golden tofu... was completely ruined!

Ye Qingqing stood innocently to the side, at a loss. Had she made a mistake by adding water?

But that's how Lin Shufang used to teach her: add water when the pot is almost dry, boil it for three minutes after it boils, then take it out of the pot, plate it, and eat it. She remembered it perfectly, and the steps were correct, but why did her cousin have such a murderous expression?
