She also wanted to be assigned a task, but Qin Yan ignored her and asked others.

"Any objections?"

Everyone shook their heads: "No objections, we guarantee to complete the mission!"

The others dispersed, and Yun Nuan jogged to catch up with him, shouting as she followed behind, "What do you want to ask?"

"What about me? What am I supposed to do, Qin Yan?"

Qin Yan's eyes were searching for something. He hooked his long leg and pulled a small chair in front of him. He took a tissue to wipe his face and then pressed her down to sit.

He nodded in satisfaction. "Just sit and watch us, be our mascot."

The others burst out laughing when they heard this, but when they saw Yun Nuan's aggrieved lips, they stopped laughing and pretended to talk to the people around them.

Qin Yan then scooped the fish out of the pot and cleaned it. At first, he was a little clumsy, but he gradually became more skilled and even managed to make a few decorative cuts on the fish.

All it takes for them to go from skepticism to admiration is knowing how to kill a fish.

"Start the fire." At Qin Yan's command, Xu Anbai solemnly lit the fire, while the others quickly put the washed vegetables aside and began watching Qin Yan cook.

He turned to look at the stunned group and said, "What are you standing there for? Clean your bowls and get ready to eat."

Lin Yu's eyes were full of admiration. Ever since he realized he had no talent for cooking, Qin Yan's cooking skills now seemed to be those of a master chef.

"Brother Qin, you're amazing! How did you learn that? Teach me!"

Qin Yan served the fish and calmly said, "Spend a few years abroad, either starving or cooking for yourself. You'll naturally learn how."

Linyu; “E”

The difficulty level was too high, so he decided not to take the challenge. The meal was delicious and colorful, and Qin Yan calmly served Yun Nuan medicinal food. The others couldn't help but want to pick up their chopsticks, but since the old man and Qin Yan hadn't touched their food yet, they could only watch.

The old man thought he had no hope of having dinner tonight, so he even rummaged through his room for instant noodles, planning to eat some to get through the night.

Who knew that the real master chef was Qin Yan?

"Let's start eating, everyone's hungry."

The others looked at Qin Yan, who said, "Eat." Hearing him speak, everyone relaxed and began to eat. Looking at their satisfied expressions, the food must taste pretty good.

"If you can cook, why didn't you say so from the beginning? Why did you let these people do it?" the old man asked.

They were curious, so while eating, they listened intently to Qin Yan's answer. Qin Yan was picking fish bones out of Yun Nuan, who was sitting next to him. After picking out a piece, he put it in her bowl and gestured for her to eat.

"You were really looking forward to seeing them make a move, and you were hoping they could impress me. But instead of being impressed, I was genuinely stunned into darkness."

Xu Anbai chuckled, "Boss Qin, don't worry, we'll learn it slowly these days, and we'll definitely be able to learn it."

He glanced up at Xu Anbai, whose mouth was smeared with oil from eating, but then turned to look at Yun Nuan.

"Forget it, it still depends on talent. I don't want to lose my life here. We're here to treat illnesses, not to test poisons."

Guan Mingyue: "Boss Qin has such a sharp tongue." She silently complained to Jiang Miao and Xie Huaqin sitting on either side of her.

"Then, what are we going to do about meals from now on? Are we going to have to mooch meals from other people's houses?" Lin Yu looked at the old man, who was so frightened that he choked on his food.

The old man stammered, "This...this." He turned his gaze to Qin Yan, who remained silent and ate his meal slowly and deliberately. The old man couldn't sit still any longer. He couldn't keep going to other people's houses to freeload every day; how could he possibly save face?

Seeing that it was almost done, Qin Yan put down his chopsticks and said, "I can cook, but you have to agree to my request. If you agree, I can cook every day."

"Yes," Guan Mingyue answered quickly.

"Agreed," Xu Anbai replied.

"Okay," Lin Yu and Jiang Miao said.

"Damn, you guys are moving way too! I agree too," Xie Huaqin, who had just swallowed her food, chimed in.

Qin Yan was very satisfied with their performance. Everyone came here because of Yun Nuan, but none of them had ever lived in such an environment before. It was inevitable that there would be friction in the future, so Qin Yan nipped these situations in the bud. He didn't want things to get out of hand later.

"First, you all need to find a way to complete the tasks assigned by the old man. No arguing is allowed. If you have any problems, you can raise them."

"Secondly, I will cook, and you will be responsible for buying groceries, washing dishes, and cleaning. I will pay for it."

"Thirdly, and most importantly, I sometimes can't take care of Yun Nuan, so I'd appreciate it if you could help look after her. I'm also very grateful that you accompanied her here. Consider it a debt I owe you, and you can contact me to repay it if you need anything in the future."

Finally, you can consider whether you really want to live here. The environment here is completely different from your home. You can see this today. This is not a paradise. You can't stay here just because of a moment of anger.

The old man is happy that you came, but he doesn't want you to leave with resentment. Think about it carefully.

Yun Nuan tugged at his sleeve, reached out and whispered in his ear

"Why are you making it sound so serious? I think we should just let them go back. I've already troubled you enough, and I don't want to trouble them any further."

"What are you saying, Nuannuan? We stayed here voluntarily. We heard your whispers."

Guan Mingyue chuckled lightly, then put down her chopsticks and said seriously, "At first we were just curious, but we're not ungrateful. Boss Qin, you've given our families so many benefits in S City, it would be inhuman of us not to help you take care of Nuannuan, right?" She looked at her friends as she spoke.

Seeing them nod, she continued.

"We just haven't gotten used to the environment here yet, but today when we went to town to buy things, we felt a great sense of accomplishment watching Jiang Miao bargain. We can't cook, but we can wash vegetables, start a fire, wash pots and pans, right? If we weren't here, we might not even be able to start a fire, Boss Qin."

We have only one goal: to see Nuannuan get better. We were not good to Nuannuan before, but now we understand her predicament and difficulties, and we sincerely hope that she can get better.

So, I'm not going back; I'm staying here.

Lin Yu: "I guess I still feel a little guilty. I refuse to believe that I haven't learned to cook after being here for so long. Boss Qin, I'm going to learn to cook from you."

Jiang Miao: "There are still many vegetable markets where I haven't tried bargaining. Who am I going to bargain with when I go back? I'm not going back."

Xu Anbai: "Teacher Xia hasn't accepted me as her apprentice yet, so I can't give up."

Xie Huaqin: "I just received a message that I need to do a sketching trip. It just so happens that my assignment is about the scenery of Huaxi Village. If I leave, I won't be able to finish my assignment."

Everyone had their reasons, even more so than this morning, and Qin Yan couldn't persuade them otherwise. She pinched her brow, thinking that she would have to call each household tonight.

Yun Nuan looked at them gratefully, feeling like crying. This was the first time so many people had stood behind her and supported her. It was also the first time she had truly experienced what it felt like to have friends.

"Thank you," she said, her eyes still wet with tears.
