"Can you cook? There are several of us here," Peng Yanyan asked curiously.

"I'm glad you don't mind my cooking." Min Ji-hyun smiled elegantly.

"No problem, no problem. You go cook first, I'll call Xiao Tuo and the others." Peng Yanyan also liked looking at handsome men; it was a pleasant sight to behold.

Inside the house, upon hearing the doorbell ring, Zhou Tingting opened the door and greeted Teacher Min somewhat shyly, "Teacher Min!"

"It's break time now, no need to call me teacher, just call me Brother Min. I'm going in to cook, remember to come with me." Min Zhixian said, carrying the groceries into the room, leaving the door open.

Peng Yanyan pulled Zhou Tingting, who was standing dumbfounded at the door, into the house. When they arrived at the kitchen, they found Mo Xiaotuo still braising meat. She put the grapes down first, and then told Xiaotuo about the dinner invitation from across the street.

"Don't bother with this dish after you've finished cooking it. The people across the street are having dinner, just take it over there in a bit." She casually took out some grapes, washed them, and said she would take them next door to eat together later.

Mo Xiaotuo was also stunned for a moment, and looked at Zhou Tingting, who shook her head.

"Sister Yan, we were supposed to go look for jobs this morning, but something came up with my brother and we were delayed all morning. We have to leave after lunch, so let's not go over for lunch." She didn't want to go, lest Mr. Luo find out and get angry.

Peng Yanyan asked curiously, "Aren't you graduating the year after next?"

"Sister Yan, we don't have many classes coming up, just occasional exams, so we'd like to find some short-term jobs. We'll look for a better job next year when we can do internships," Zhou Tingting told Sister Yan about their idea.

Upon hearing that she was looking for hourly workers, Peng Yanyan generously said, "If you're willing to work as a waitress at a milk tea shop, I'll find you a place. The pay won't be too bad, and it's close to your school."

"Really? Sister Yan? You're so kind!" Mo Xiaotuo was overjoyed when she heard this and stepped forward to grab Sister Yan.

"When have I ever lied to you? Hurry up and finish cooking. We'll also check out the renovations across the street at noon. It's convenient to be close by. Even if it's just for your sister Yan's happiness, you'll come with me to lunch later." Peng Yanyan patted her chest, speaking with a righteous expression, and then winked at Mo Xiaotuo.

Mo Xiaotuo was too embarrassed to refuse any longer, so he could only follow Sister Yan's instructions, cook the meat in the pot, and wait.

Peng Yanyan led Zhou Tingting to deliver a plate of vegetables and a plate of grapes.

When Min Zhixian saw that Mo Xiaotuo hadn't come over, she thought her plan had failed. But when she heard that there was still one dish that hadn't been cooked, she was happy and quickly went to cook it.

While the rice was being cooked across the street, he lit two fires on his stove and skillfully stir-fried a vegetable dish, a meatball, and then made a soup. He then asked Peng Yanyan to call the person over.

Zhou Tingting sat in the hall feeling quite restrained, but she didn't want to upset Sister Yan, so she could only sit there obediently. Finally, when Mo Xiaotuo came over, she quickly pulled her to sit down next to her.

Mo Xiaotuo brought over the last plate of meat and placed it on the table. After sitting down, he glanced around the hall and suddenly felt that the decoration looked somewhat familiar, as if he had seen it somewhere before, but he couldn't remember where.

Wearing an apron, Min Ji-hyun brought the last soup to the table, smiled at the three of them, and said, "Let's eat. Don't be so formal. I live alone, so it's quite simple for me."

Mo Xiaotuo stared at the apron that Min Zhixian was wearing. The apron featured a cartoon girl with a pigtail, looking up at a fluttering butterfly. The butterfly was light green, and it gave off a familiar feeling.

"Xiao Tuo, Xiao Tuo!" Zhou Tingting noticed Mo Xiao Tuo looking at Teacher Min and quickly nudged her.

Mo Xiaotuo snapped out of her daze, gave an awkward smile, and said sheepishly, "This apron is very pretty."

"If you like it, I'll send you a new one tomorrow. The cartoon on this apron was drawn by a friend of mine, and I thought it was really nice, so I brought it back to use." Min Ji-hyun noticed a hint of excitement in her eyes as she looked at the apron.

"No, no need, we have aprons at home, let's eat!" Mo Xiaotuo waved her hands repeatedly. If Mr. Luo saw the two of them using the same aprons, he would be furious.

Min Ji-hyun felt a pang of disappointment, but he maintained his smile, took off his apron, and sat down to eat with everyone.

Mo Xiaotuo and Zhou Tingting felt the atmosphere was strange, firstly because they were not familiar with each other, and secondly because the person in front of them was their teacher.

Peng Yanyan was quite happy; having dinner with a handsome man improved her appetite considerably. She chattered incessantly, asking Min Zhixian questions, which Min Zhixian answered without hesitation, occasionally stealing glances at Mo Xiaotuo.

Mo Xiaotuo sensed that Teacher Min was watching her, so she kept her head down and ate her lunch. After finally finishing her lunch, she said hello and took the bowls from home back with her.

Zhou Tingting felt embarrassed to stay, so she left with Mo Xiaotuo.

After the two left, Peng Yanyan looked at Min Zhixian's longing gaze and then adopted her usual nonchalant attitude.

"They're already married, and you're still having these fantasies? Aren't you afraid her husband will beat you up?" She seemed to have figured something out.

"As long as she's doing well, that's all that matters." Min Ji-hyun smiled meaningfully.

"You two know each other, but she doesn't remember you. What happened? Can you gossip about it?" Peng Yanyan looked at Min Zhixian with great interest.

Min Ji-hyun hesitated for a moment, then opened her mouth: "We've known each other for a long time, but then something happened in my family and I went abroad. I saw her again three months ago at a night market, but it was just a fleeting encounter. The next time we met was a few days before I moved in, haha... I guess that's fate."

"When you met her again, you found out she was already married, and had only been married for a few days. You were in great pain, so you ended up living across from her house to see if she was doing well and if her husband was treating her well," Peng Yanyan continued, picking up where Min Zhixian left off.

Min Zhixian glanced at Peng Yanyan; clearly, the woman was right.

“Since she doesn’t remember you, why bother?” Peng Yanyan knew this would be very painful.

"Could you please keep this a secret? As long as that man treats her well, I'll leave after a while," Min Ji-hyun said, looking at Peng Yan-yan with pleading eyes.

Why……

Peng Yanyan sighed and said with great sympathy, "Just remember what you said."

"Do you know if they have a good relationship?" Min Ji-hyun stepped forward and asked.

Peng Yanyan stopped and thought about it seriously before saying, "I don't know if their relationship is good or not. I just feel that the way they get along is a bit strange. Anyway, I've never seen a newlywed couple like this before."

Min Ji-hyun's heart leaped into the air after hearing this.

Peng Yanyan didn't linger. She had promised the two girls she would help them find jobs, and she needed to go back and put on that heavy makeup again later.

Min Ji-hyun stared at the closed door across the way, her heart pounding with emotion for a long time.

In the house across the street, Mo Xiaotuo had already washed the dishes and cleaned the kitchen. She and Zhou Tingting were sitting in the living room waiting for Sister Yan.

When Sister Yan came in, the door was open, and Mo Xiaotuo happened to see Min Zhixian across from her. When she met his eyes, her heart trembled for no reason.
