At this moment, the atmosphere between the two was very harmonious, without the previous verbal 'confrontation'.
Until Qi Sheng's appearance disrupted their balance.
When Qi Sheng came in and saw the two people who were really busy, his usually indifferent expression turned slightly bewildered.
What are they trying to do?
When Gu Luoqi saw that her little darling had arrived, a smile spread across her face: "Leave cooking to us. Just wait, we guarantee you'll be satisfied."
When Cheng Cheng heard "we" in her words, she immediately sensed something was wrong. It turned out she had been assigned responsibility, which wouldn't do: "Don't drag me into your bragging. I can't do anything except eat."
Gu Luoqi glared at her after hearing this; wasn't this just undermining her?
Of course, Cheng Cheng would never heed her blatant threat; even if the King of Heaven himself came, it wouldn't matter today.
Qi Sheng silently watched the two bickering all the time, and suddenly her understanding of Gu Luoxi reached a new level.
Of course, he had absolutely no interest in their squabble, and said in a nonchalant tone, "Oh, whatever." Then he simply left.
Gu Luoqi had originally planned to say a lot to persuade her younger brother, who was very capable, but she didn't expect him to be so straightforward.
This shows how much they trust her; she'd better behave herself.
Cheng Cheng seemed to see her confusion: "Maybe they're just thinking that they won't starve if they skip a meal."
Yes, she's a pro at sabotaging others.
"Hurry up and finish it." Gu Luoqi glared angrily at Cheng Cheng.
This guy talks too much nonsense.
The system, no longer interested, began to defend Cheng Cheng, saying, "You talk too much nonsense."
Gu Luoqi narrowed her eyes slightly, "You talk too much nonsense."
That's not the same thing; she had to say it to achieve her goal.
System: Pshaw, this is a huge double standard.
Gu Luoqi finished preparing the ingredients and planned to show off her exceptionally good knife skills.
Looking at the gleaming knife she had pulled out and placed on the cutting board, she felt a bit of pressure.
With her lousy skills, even she herself can't believe her own abilities.
However, the recipe said that perfect knife skills can make the ingredients heat more evenly, so she felt that she only needed to cut them to the same size.
When it comes to cooking, the general idea is enough. Can the shape of the ingredients really affect the taste?
Thinking about it this way, she instantly felt much more relaxed. Looking at Cheng, who was squatting on the ground working hard, she decided to stir-fry some braised beef to treat her.
Cheng Cheng washed and put the potatoes away, then looked at the person who was arguing about the beef and said, "Big brother, you're so generous."
Gu Luoqi looked annoyed; it seemed even cutting the ingredients to the same size was proving difficult. "You can go out now." This guy was hindering her performance.
Cheng Cheng: What's with that disgusted look on your face? Does she really think she's someone you can summon and dismiss at will?
However... even so, she wouldn't refuse.
"Okay, good luck." Then they disappeared in an instant.
Gu Luoqi said coldly, "Heh, women, they run away really fast at times like this."
However, despite her complaints, she didn't stop what she was doing and chopped up everything that could be used. She was already sweating profusely from exhaustion.
Sigh, this is a really tough job. She now has absolute admiration for people who cook really well.
Just then, she seemed to hear a noise coming from the living room.
It seems someone opened the door.
Did Little Orange go out?
A hint of doubt flickered in her eyes. What was this guy up to?
She washed her hands and prepared to go out and take a look.
Before she even got there, she heard her father's voice. "I wonder if the two children have eaten anything."
A gentle voice rang out, and just by hearing that voice, one could imagine how gentle she was. "Maybe not. I heard from people in the neighborhood that the elevator broke down just now." It was Aunt Qi's voice.
"Luckily it's fixed now, otherwise the two of us would have had to make do outside for the night." Mr. Gu's voice carried a hint of mockery.
Well, with his old arms and legs, he definitely can't climb such a high floor.
"The children haven't eaten yet, I'll go cook for them." Aunt Qi's voice carried a hint of helplessness and indulgence, clearly she was used to Mr. Gu's unserious behavior.
Mr. Gu glared at them. “They’re all grown up now, are you worried they’ll starve? You’ve spoiled them too much, especially Luo Xi, who’s always eating and being lazy.”
Upon hearing this, Gu Luoxi chuckled. This was truly her good father; he was definitely her biological father, and he was even starting to criticize her by name.
She felt that if she didn't jump out and give her father a scare at this moment, she would be letting him down.
"Dad, why are you back today?" Gu Luoqi walked out and looked at her unreliable father.
Mr. Gu has thick, dark, and neat eyebrows, and bright, piercing eyes. When he smiles, there are some fine lines around his eyes left by the years, but this only adds to his kind and approachable demeanor.
At this moment, he suddenly felt embarrassed, as if he had been caught talking bad about someone. He awkwardly touched his nose and said, "Um... so Luo Xi was home."
Gu Luoqi looked completely bewildered. Good heavens, this is her home. Where else could she be if she's not home?
So he thought she wasn't home, which is why he spoke ill of her so recklessly.
