Private chef

When Xu Feifei saw it was him, she walked out the door.

"Feifei, I asked you at noon today, what's your decision now?"

"I'm free on Friday, what's up?"

Zhang Jiayi's eyes lit up and she said, "I'd like to invite you to watch the basketball game at school this Friday. You just transferred here, and participating in school activities and games will help you get to know the area quickly."

Xu Feifei was a little surprised, but it was also quite good. When she first arrived in this world, most people were quite kind to her, which helped ease her initial discomfort.

"Feifei, let's go eat together." Lin Yuan walked out the door.

Xu Feifei sensed something was wrong and quickly said to Lin Yuan, "Okay, wait a minute!" After thinking for a moment, she turned to Zhang Jiayi and said, "No problem, can we add one more person?"

Zhang Jiayi laughed and said, "Lin Yuan? I reserved seats for both of you a long time ago!"

"Great! I'm going to eat now, bye-bye!" Xu Feifei waved and was about to leave.

Zhang Jiayi asked, "Can I have dinner with you guys?"

Xu Feifei felt a little awkward. It wasn't that she didn't want him to go, but Lin Yuan was also there. Wouldn't it be awkward for the three of them to eat together?

Besides, she's not good at calming people down. If she accidentally wanders into a battlefield of carnage, she'll definitely be the first to die, not them.

Lin Yuan stood in the corridor, watching the two of them chatting and laughing. Her fists clenched slowly, and a feeling of resentment welled up inside her. Looking at Zhang Jiayi's bright smile, she really wanted to go up and take Xu Feifei away from him, far, far away.

But she knew she couldn't. Because doing so would only push Xu Feifei away, and she had to be patient.

Xu Feifei hesitated for a moment before declining, saying, "It's not really possible. Let's reschedule for another time!"

Seeing this, Zhang Jiayi didn't force it and smiled, "Okay, it's a deal! Go eat now!"

Xu Feifei said somewhat shyly, "I'll definitely do it next time."

Zhang Jia waved to her and said, "Bye-bye!" Watching Xu Feifei's departing figure and lively demeanor, a smile involuntarily crept onto his lips.

It's after school now, and there are still quite a lot of people in the corridors and stairwells.

Xu Feifei quickly caught up with Lin Yuan, glanced at her complexion which seemed normal, and asked, "Shall we go to the cafeteria for lunch?"

Lin Yuan shook her head and said, "No, I'll take you to a nice place!"

Where?

You'll find out then.

Xu Feifei sensed Lin Yuan's excitement from her tone and was secretly pleased. The chances of successfully inviting Lin Yuan to watch basketball now should be much higher.

So she cautiously asked, "Lin Yuan, are you free this Friday? I'd like to go watch the school basketball game, mainly because I want to participate in more school activities and meet more people! Can you come with me?"

She said a lot, expressing her desire for Lin Yuan to be with her.

Upon hearing this, Lin Yuan frowned and asked with displeasure, "Was it Zhang Jiayi who invited you to watch?"

Xu Feifei's little scheme was exposed. She wanted to retort guiltily, but instead, she just bit her lip and said to Lin Yuan, "Yes, but I want you to come with me."

After speaking, he lowered his head and quietly awaited Lin Yuan's verdict.

Lin Yuan pondered for a moment and then said, "Okay, I'll go with you."

Xu Feifei looked up and asked excitedly, "Really?"

Lin Yuan lowered her eyes, her gaze dimming, and nodded, saying, "Yes, I'll stay with you."

The two walked to the school gate, where many cars were parked. Although Xu Feifei knew nothing about cars, she could tell from their appearance that they were expensive.

In typical Mary Sue novels, the cars owned by the nobility are usually Rolls-Royces, Maseratis, Porsches, and the like.

Looking at the rows of luxury cars, Xu Feifei couldn't help but sigh that in this world of novels, she should also be able to experience riding in a luxury car. Perhaps she might even buy one herself.

Thinking about this, I immediately felt a surge of joy. Since I'm already here, I should enjoy life to the fullest until I find a way back. This rare, luxurious lifestyle might be something I can't enjoy back home.

At that moment, Xu Feifei was enveloped by a dark shadow. Looking up, she saw a burly man in a suit and sunglasses blocking their way.

Xu Feifei was startled, and Lin Yuan pulled Xu Feifei behind her to face the man.

The man said, "Miss, Madam asked me to take you home safely."

After hearing this, Lin Yuan turned slightly to look at Xu Feifei.

Xu Feifei thought Lin Yuan was going to stand her up, so she tactfully said, "It's okay, we'll make it up another time!"

Upon hearing this, Lin Yuan's earlier joy vanished completely. Her hands clenched into fists again, and she stood there stiffly.

The man gestured for them to proceed, but Lin Yuan and Xu Feifei didn't move. The three of them remained in that position for about a minute.

Finally, the man said again, "Miss, please come this way." Lin Yuan and Xu Feifei remained motionless, creating an awkward situation.

Xu Feifei then said, "Lin Yuan, aren't you going home with him? Your bodyguard is waiting for you!"

Lin Yuan looked at Xu Feifei in disbelief and said, "I don't know him!"

The man next to her explained, "Miss Feifei, I am your bodyguard."

Xu Feifei felt incredibly embarrassed after hearing this. At that moment, she wished she could find a crack in the ground and hide away on another planet.

She gave an awkward laugh and walked up to Lin Yuan, saying, "Why didn't I see you the other day?"

"Miss, I was on a mission a few days ago."

Xu Feifei was skeptical. After all, life in a wealthy family wasn't easy. What if a kidnapping happened and she was dead before she even got home?

"I'm going to eat with my friends now. You go back first, I'll go back by myself."

"Do you need me to take you to a restaurant?"

Xu Feifei shook her head and instructed, "No need, the restaurant is not far away. Also, don't follow us."

Upon hearing this, the bodyguard voluntarily withdrew.

Xu Feifei turned to Lin Yuan and said, "Let's go!"

Lin Yuan nodded and continued walking. After walking for about ten minutes, Xu Feifei and Lin Yuan arrived at the place where they were going to eat.

From the outside, it looks like a small villa with some roses planted around it. It's rose season now, and the flowers are in full bloom. It doesn't look like a restaurant; it looks more like a residential plot of land.

Xu Feifei asked uncertainly, "Is this where we eat?"

Lin Yuan nodded and said, "Yes, this is a restaurant that specializes in private kitchens. The opening hours are not fixed and mainly depend on the owner's mood."

Upon hearing this, Xu Feifei was overjoyed and said to Lin Yuan, "Aren't we very lucky? It just so happens to open today."

"I might be the lucky star." Xu Feifei looked up at Lin Yuan with her head slightly tilted. From Lin Yuan's perspective, Xu Feifei looked like a kitten waiting to be praised, extremely cute.

"Indeed! The class's lucky star," Lin Yuan teased, reaching out her right hand to pat her little head.

Xu Feifei dodged Lin Yuan's hand and pretended to be angry, saying, "Don't tease me! And stop touching my hair, what if it falls out? Hair loss is a big problem these days!"

After saying that, she reached out and tidied her messy hair.

"Okay, I won't tease you anymore or rub your head," Lin Yuan said with a smile.

After a brief playful argument, the two entered the villa. Upon opening the door, someone came to greet them and led them to the dining room.

Xu Feifei looked around at the surroundings. The villa was decorated mostly in a retro style, with European-style carpets on the floor and several oil paintings hanging on the walls. The dining room was large, with a long table in the middle, a piano next to it, and a crystal chandelier hanging overhead.

The lighting was soft, creating a somewhat romantic atmosphere.

Xu Feifei pulled out a chair and sat down. Perhaps it was because the environment was too quiet, or the decor too formal, but she felt a strange sense of unease. She whispered to Lin Yuan, "Is there a menu?"

Lin Yuan leaned closer and whispered, "There's no menu; what you eat depends entirely on the owner's mood."

Xu Feifei found it amazing that there was such a casual store. But she was still a little excited, like opening a blind box, hoping to be lucky.

At this moment, an elderly woman with white hair, a steady gait, and a kind face came up with a glass jug filled with lemonade, came to Xu Feifei's side, and poured water for her.

Xu Feifei saw this and hurriedly took the pot from the old lady's hand, but the old lady stopped her, saying with a smile, "No need, how can you let a guest do it?"

Upon hearing this, Xu Feifei glanced at Lin Yuan, saw her smile, and gently shook her head.

She stopped thinking about taking the kettle from the old lady and waited for the old lady to pour her water before saying, "Thank you, Grandma!"

The old lady smiled and said, "You're welcome!"

After pouring out the water, the old lady went out again.

Now only Xu Feifei and Lin Yuan are in the restaurant. Xu Feifei picked up the glass and took a sip of lemon water, and it felt okay.

But this lemonade doesn't quite fit, because there are several bottles of red wine and wine-drinking utensils stored against the wall. Besides, drinking red wine is the epitome of a sophisticated woman's style; it should at least be a bottle of 1982 Barfie. Why is there only lemonade now?

Xu Feifei leaned close to Lin Yuan's ear and whispered discontentedly, "Aren't you going to drink red wine? I see a lot of red wine around here, and it looks quite expensive. Why are you drinking lemon water?"

Minors are not allowed to drink alcohol!

Xu Feifei was completely distraught and said listlessly, "Okay!"

It's a 1982 Lafite! Why can't she drink it? She doesn't care; in this world of novels, she'll drink a 1982 Lafite sooner or later.

After waiting for a while, the dishes were served one after another, all covered with lids, so it was impossible to tell what they were.

Once all the dishes were served, Lin Yuan called out, "Feifei, it's your turn to unveil it!"

Xu Feifei's eyes sparkled as she heard Lin Yuan's words. She secretly wished: "God, I need to be blessed with incredible luck and pull an SSR!"

Xu Feifei opened the first lid full of hope, but upon seeing the food in front of her, she was stunned. She must have opened it wrong. She opened another one, but it was still wrong. She must have opened it wrong; how could there not be a single SSR!

She quickly lifted all the lids, only to have all her expectations dashed.

The dishes in front of me look like home-style cooking. They seem to include braised pork ribs, cola chicken wings, blanched bok choy, and crucian carp soup...
