Meanwhile, in Chen Siyu's kitchen, Chen Siyu and Shen Lingfeng were laughing hysterically.
Chen Siyu clutched her stomach, looking at Chen Yiyi who was peeling garlic with a resentful expression, "Who taught you that telling lame jokes can win people over, hahahahahahaha..."
Chen Yi looked up at Shen Lingfeng without saying a word.
Shen Lingfeng laughed through his tears, "Big brother, I meant we should appease him first, then tell a joke or something to lighten the mood, not tell a joke the moment you arrive, especially a lame one, hahaha..."
Chen Yi shook her head in despair, "It's over, is she going to break off our friendship?"
Chen Siyu thought for a moment and said very seriously, "It's not a complete break-up. At most, she'll just ignore you for a few days."
The three of them were chatting when Qi Yanche and French Fries suddenly appeared at the door.
Shen Lingfeng, who was peeling a cucumber, exclaimed in surprise, "You were turned away too?"
Qi Yanche nodded.
Chen Siyu handed the fire tongs to Qi Yanche, asking him to start a fire. "This shouldn't be happening. Cheng Zhi has already calmed down, so why is she suddenly ignoring me again?"
Qi Yanche took the fire tongs, picked up some newspaper scraps and dry leaves, put them in the stove, struck a match and threw it in. Once the fire was lit, he began to add small pieces of wood.
Once the fire was burning, Qi Yanche straightened up, looked at the ceiling, and let out a long sigh of relief. "It's not that she's ignoring me, it's that there's someone else."
Chen Siyu picked up the kettle and poured water into the pot. "I most likely know who it is."
Qi Yanche recalled Cheng's father chopping chicken at the door and Cheng Ye violently kneading dough inside. "Although they didn't say anything, it's as if they said everything."
Chen Siyu put the lid back on, patted Qi Yanche on the shoulder, and said, "Uncle Cheng is a veteran, and Cheng Ye... I heard recently that he's planning to abandon science and take up martial arts. You... you'd better do your best."
Qi Yanche: "..." My vision went black!
The dishes were all prepared, and the fire was lit. Shen Lingfeng patted Qi Yanche on the shoulder and said, "The road ahead is long and arduous. Go and be sad somewhere else. I'm going to cook."
Seeing Shen Lingfeng approaching with a shovel, Chen Siyu stopped him, saying, "This is different from the one we usually use. Why don't I do it? If it burns, none of us will have any to eat."
Shen Lingfeng smiled and pushed Chen Siyu aside. "Don't worry, I've seen my grandma use this kind of stove before, and I've also started learning to cook at home recently. Trust me this time."
Seeing that Shen Lingfeng was so confident, Chen Siyu decided to believe him for the time being.
She moved a small stool and stood by to watch, ready to step in and help if anything went wrong.
The food was ready, so everyone gathered around to eat.
Upon hearing that all the dishes were prepared by Shen Lingfeng, Mr. Chen couldn't stop praising, "Lingfeng, your cooking skills are excellent! I'm really embarrassed that you had to cook for us, you're our guest, hahaha..."
Shen Lingfeng waved his hand modestly, "Thank you for the compliment, Uncle. It's just what we should do."
Chen Siyu next to me picked up some cucumber and scrambled eggs, it was delicious!
I also picked up a piece of pan-fried potato, which was delicious too!
Chen Siyu's eyes lit up. "Wow, Shen Lingfeng, you're really something! I was just thinking of saving the day, but I was completely overthinking it!"
"puff!"
Hearing this, Chen's parents couldn't help but retort, "You're going to save the day? Don't you even know your own limitations? How dare you say something like that!"
Qi Yanche and Chen Yiyi quickly handed the two tissues and poured tea for them.
The younger sister patted them on the back, telling them to eat slowly so they wouldn't choke.
Once the two had recovered, the younger sister suddenly gave Shen Lingfeng a thumbs up, "Brother, the potatoes you stir-fried are so delicious!"
Being praised by such a cute little girl, Shen Lingfeng was naturally happy. "Thank you, Zhiyu. I'm so glad you like it."
After finishing their meal, Chen's father quickly pulled Chen Siyu aside and whispered, "They cooked the food, so you have to wash the dishes. You can't let them do everything, you know?"
Chen Siyu, who was clearing away the dishes, nodded. "Of course I know. I promise I won't let them get a single drop of water."
Seeing that the three men were about to follow, Chen Siyu blocked them at the door, saying, "Leave the dishwashing to me, you guys go do what you need to do."
The three boys looked at each other, feeling lost and helpless. They were new to the place and had nothing to do.
Chen Siyu shook her head in exasperation, "Have you ever spoken a single proper word to Cheng Zhi since you arrived? And what's in your head besides lame jokes?"
The two people who were slandered once again: "..."
Thanks for the pointers, now I have so many things to do!
After they both left, Shen Lingfeng looked at Chen Siyu and then pointed to himself, "I didn't make any girls angry. Can I help you wash the dishes now?"
Chen Siyu nodded. "You don't have any, but you have other tasks that are much more important than washing dishes."
Shen Lingfeng gestured for him to listen, "I'm all ears."
Chen Siyu pointed to her little sister, who was looking around in the yard, and said, "Take Zhiyu out and play with her until she runs out of energy. That way, she'll go to sleep peacefully tonight."
Shen Lingfeng glanced back at his younger sister, then at Chen Siyu, and asked, "Are you sure we don't want to switch?"
Chen Siyu nodded.
Shen Lingfeng stopped arguing with her and turned to find his younger sister.
Halfway there, he turned back and said, "If you want to change, just shout it out!"
"good!"
