Chapter 105 There were only two white mice originally.

After reviewing the situation overnight, Zhou Songyan regained his confidence today.

It's just cooking, right? It's not that hard. He believed he could do it.

From now on, he will be a considerate and good husband, cooking for Li Mai and making her favorite dishes.

Zhou Songyan thought to himself with a smug smile.

"Young master, that's vinegar! Not soy sauce!"

Wang Ma's loud roar interrupted his reverie.

"Wang Ma, what should we do? Is there any way to fix this?"

Aunt Wang sighed, "Let's just throw it away."

"Well, young master, let me do it. Let's not waste the ingredients."

"Wang Ma, can't I afford the ingredients?"

"No..."

...

Chengcheng ran to a corner and secretly called Limai: "Mom, help!"

Li Mai: "..."

"Mom, please come and talk to Dad. He's trying to poison us."

Li Mai smiled helplessly: "I'm driving, I'll be there in half an hour."

"Very good!"

After Chengcheng hung up the phone, Grandma Zhou and Zhou Jingtian came over and pulled him outside.

"Grandma, Grandpa, where are we going?"

Grandma Zhou held up one finger: "Shh! Keep your voice down. I'm taking you out for a big meal, don't let your dad hear us."

Zhou Songyan came out carrying a plate of food and saw that the restaurant was empty.

Where are they?

The maid answered cautiously, "They've gone out."

Where to?

"They probably... probably went to a restaurant."

Zhou Songyan: "..."

Just as he was feeling down, Qin Xuan called: "Old Zhou, where are you?"

"Old house".

"I'm with Lao Peng, we're out for a drink."

"No, I'm cooking."

"Cooking? Wow! Old Zhou, you're actually cooking? You can cook?"

Zhou Songyan: "..."

He was silent for a moment before extending an invitation: "Would you like to come and eat with us?"

Qin Xuan rubbed his hands together excitedly: "I have to go! My God, I can't believe I'm getting to eat your cooking in my whole life! Lao Peng and I are coming right away."

Zhou Songyan hung up the phone, tossed it on the table, and went back to the kitchen to continue cooking.

Li Mai parked his car and saw two sports cars, one red and one green, following behind.

Qin Xuan and Peng Zixu got out of the car.

Upon seeing Li Mai, Peng Zixu greeted her with a smile: "Miss Li."

Li Mai politely greeted them, "Hello."

Qin Xuan didn't speak, his expression a little awkward.

After all, he had previously looked down on Li Mai and said a lot of bad things about her, but he was proven wrong and felt a little embarrassed in front of her.

Zhou Songyan told them all that Li Mai broke up with him back then to protect him.

By that logic, Li Mai is truly a rare and wonderful girl.

Li Mai walked into the house first, followed by Qin Xuan and Peng Zixu.

Zhou Songyan looked surprised when he saw Li Mai: "Mai Mai, what brings you here?"

Li Mai glanced at his dirty apron, and Zhou Songyan followed her gaze and looked down, also noticing the patches of oil stains on the apron.

"I accidentally got it on my face while cooking."

Li Mai coughed: "I've come to pick up Chengcheng. Where is Chengcheng?"

Zhou Songyan then remembered that Chengcheng had to go to school tomorrow.

“He was taken out to eat by my dad and grandma.”

Peng Zixu: "Didn't you cook? Why are they eating out?"

Qin Xuan: "Let me see what delicious food you've made."

Qin Xuan rushed to the restaurant and saw three dishes on the table.

He fell silent.

Wang Ma brought out two more dishes.

Qin Xuan glanced at it.

His facial muscles twitched violently, and he swallowed hard.

Seeing Qin Xuan's expression as if he had been struck by lightning, Peng Zixu curiously walked over.

He fell silent when he saw the food on the table.

Zhou Songyan: "Let's eat. These are the dishes. I'll make more if it's not enough."

Qin Xuan and Peng Zixu: "..."

Qin Xuan winked at Peng Zixu and mouthed, "Shall we go?"

Peng Zixu nodded slightly.

So Qin Xuan and Peng Zixu linked arms and said goodbye to Zhou Songyan with smiles.

"Well, we just remembered we have something to do, so we'll be going now."

Zhou Songyan grabbed one of them with each hand: "Eat your meal before you leave."

Qin Xuan and Peng Zixu: "..."

The two who failed to escape sat down looking utterly dejected.

Aunt Wang served them rice with great enthusiasm, adding, "I cooked this rice."

Zhou Songyan: "..."

Wang Ma quickly ran back to the kitchen, peered through the door at the three white mice in the dining room, and looked at them with a look of sympathy.

Li Mai was pulled over by Zhou Songyan to sit next to him.

Li Mai was probably mentally prepared, unlike Qin Xuan and Peng Zixu who were not worldly-wise. She glanced indifferently at the dishes on the table.

"Let's get started."

As Zhou Songyan spoke, he placed a piece of braised pork chop into the bowls of Qin Xuan and Peng Zixu.

"Try it and see if it tastes good. This is how it's made in Suzhou."

Qin Xuan and Peng Zixu managed a weak smile, but they remained silent for a long time.

Zhou Songyan urged, "Eat!"

Qin Xuan looked at Li Mai: "Miss Li, aren't you from Suzhou? You must like this. Try it first."

Qin Xuan used serving chopsticks to place a huge braised pork chop into Li Mai's bowl.

Zhou Songyan immediately put the braised pork chop into her own bowl: "Mai Mai will eat it later."

Qin Xuan and Peng Zixu: "..."

Wang Ma, who was peeping: "..."

There were originally only two white mice.

Li Mai tried very hard to suppress her laughter.

She didn't know how Zhou Songyan had managed to summon these two lab rats, but judging from their expressions, they must be filled with regret right now.

Under Zhou Songyan's threatening gaze, Qin Xuan and Peng Zixu lowered their heads with bitter faces, and each of them took a small, very small bite...

Qin Xuan couldn't stand it any longer, so he pulled out a tissue and spat out the meat: "It tastes awful!"

Peng Zixu is a very good cook and a food blogger. He has eaten all kinds of delicious food, and of course, he has also made many mistakes.

He was a bit calmer than Qin Xuan, and after chewing it for a while, he ate the small piece of pork chop.

When Zhou Songyan saw Qin Xuan's reaction, he was initially disappointed, but when he saw Peng Zixu eating the pork chop, his hope was rekindled.

"Old Peng, it's delicious, isn't it?"

Peng Zixu is a food blogger with over ten million followers.

His appraisal is quite authoritative; Qin Xuan can get lost.

Under his expectant gaze, Peng Zixu said tactfully, "Less salt, less sugar, it will taste even better if you remove the fishy smell."

Qin Xuan was about to say something when Peng Zixu stepped on his foot and shut him up.

Zhou Songyan felt that the dish was edible based on Peng Zixu's evaluation, so he confidently put a piece on Li Mai's plate: "Mai Mai, you can eat it now."

Qin Xuan looked at Peng Zixu with a resentful expression, her eyes saying: You can't bear to hurt him, but he's incredibly cruel to us, treating us like guinea pigs.

Qin Xuan looked at Li Mai, wanting to see if she could eat it.

Li Mai took a bite of the braised pork chop and ate it expressionlessly.

Qin Xuan: "..."

Li Mai tasted all the dishes on the table without even frowning.

Qin Xuan wondered if there was something wrong with his sense of taste, so he picked up some food from another plate and put it in his mouth.

"..."

Seeing his pained expression, Li Mai laughed out loud: "It's delicious, isn't it? Come on, try this one, and this one, and this one too, they're all pretty good."
