Yan Xi almost wolfed down the food, which showed that he was very hungry due to the exams in the past few days.
Lou Jinchuan was a little amused and said, "Brother, please eat slowly."
Yan Xi gnawed on a large chicken drumstick, his mouth full of oil. "I can't help it. Your cooking skills are already very good. These past few days without you, I, Senior Brother, feel that your cooking skills are unparalleled in the world."
"So in the eyes of my senior brother, my cooking skills are more important than me, right?" Lou Jinchuan was angry and amused. He was jealous of his own cooking skills, which was probably the only one in the world.
Yan Xi nodded subconsciously, but when he caught a glimpse of the boy's dark face, he shook his head frantically, "No, no, you are more important. Without you, who can make such delicious meals?"
Lou Jinchuan: "..." Why do I feel even more jealous?
Looking at the people feasting, the young man sighed deeply, "Brother, I..."
"Master!"
"Xi'er!"
"elder brother!"
Yan Xi, who was gnawing on a chicken leg, paused when he heard the sound and turned his head to see that Ming Zhu, Li Yancheng, He Youyi and the others had all arrived, each with a smile on their face.
Yan Xi was so scared that he quickly wiped his mouth and hands, put the chicken leg into the food box, straightened his clothes, raised his head and chest, with an expression that said "that starving ghost just now was not me".
He cleared his throat and responded with a smile, "Mother, sister, Mingzhu, Yunshen, why are you here?"
As he said this, he walked forward gracefully.
Lou Jinchuan behind him was a little stunned by this change.
He never knew that his senior brother could be so serious in front of other people.
When I think of the two different faces this person has in front of me and in front of others, I inexplicably want to laugh.
Looking down at the half-eaten chicken leg, he closed the lunch box and hesitated whether to follow.
After hesitating for a while, he just stood there and watched.
Mrs. He was a little bit unbelievable when she saw that her son was still radiant.
When they came just now, they saw that the candidates all looked sloppy. She was wondering if her son was the same. She had already prepared herself mentally, but she didn't expect her son to be an exception.
But after a closer look, he had lost a lot of weight. Thinking of this, Madam He touched his face with concern, "Xi'er, you must have been starving these past few days. Mother brought some cakes. Fill your stomach first. I'll ask the kitchen to make a table full of food for you when I get home."
"It's okay, it's not that exaggerated, but I do miss the pastries made by my mother." Yan Xi said with a smile.
However, He Youyi, his younger sister who he had personally taught, mercilessly sabotaged the situation. She pointed at Lou Jinchuan who was not far away and said, "Brother, you are lying. I just saw you snatching food from that brother."
As soon as these words were spoken, Madam He and the others turned to look at Lou Jinchuan.
Seeing everyone suddenly looking at him, the boy nodded and smiled politely.
"Nonsense, he cooked the meal specially for me. I, your brother, will never steal other people's food." As soon as the words fell, Yan Xi suddenly realized that the male and female protagonists had met, and alarm bells rang in his heart.
Her eyes swept back and forth between the two of them, He Youyi looking at Lou Jinchuan curiously.
But Lou Jinchuan didn't seem to look at her.
Yan Xi relaxed his vigilance a little.
The heroine is still so young, the hero shouldn't be so beastly as to fall in love with a ten-year-old child.
While thinking, Mrs. He asked with a puzzled look on her face, "Xi'er, who is he?"
Yan Xi explained with a smile, "Mother, he is my junior fellow apprentice. Master accepted him as his apprentice not long after I did." He paused and waved to the young man, motioning him to come over.
After receiving the invitation, Lou Jinchuan curled his lips into a smile and walked over quickly.
"Let me solemnly introduce you. This is my junior fellow apprentice. You can just call him Xiao Jin." Yan Xi looked at them again, "Xiao Jin, this is my mother and sister. The other two are Ming Zhu and Yun Can. They are cousins."
His gaze fell on Li Yancheng, and in an instant, their eyes met, and there was a faint smell of gunpowder in the air.
Lou Jinchuan calmly withdrew his coldness and looked at the gentle Madam He, "Greetings, Madam."
Madam He looked him over, roughly estimated his age, and smiled gently, "Xiao Jin, right? I just heard Xi'er say that you brought food specially for him. Thank you for caring so much about him."
Lou Jinchuan said modestly, "He is my senior brother, it's only natural."
He Youyi, who was standing beside Mrs. He, sniffed the food box in his hand. The aroma of the food made her feel greedy. She looked up and asked, "My brother is very picky about food. He is willing to eat your food. You must be a good cook, right?"
"Of course." Yan Xi was afraid that the male and female protagonists would have too much contact, so he quickly stood between them and said, "Xiao Jin's cooking is very delicious. He can cook all kinds of dishes."
He Youyi's eyes lit up, "Really? I want to try it too."
"Miss He..." Lou Jinchuan just opened his mouth when Yan Xi spoke up first, "That's not okay. The Xiaojin family has a rule that says you can't give your own food to a woman, or she will suffer bad luck for the rest of her life, right, Xiaojin?"
Yan Xi spoke nonsense seriously and winked at him.
Lou Jinchuan didn't understand why the young man made up a lie, but he still nodded cooperatively, "Senior brother is right."
"Ah? No way?" He Youyi was skeptical.
"Really, I won't lie to you." Yan Xi said with a serious face.
He Youyi reluctantly moved her eyes away from the food box in Lou Jinchuan's hand, "Oh, okay."
Mrs. He was also a little surprised by this, but since there was such a rule, she couldn't say anything.
After a few words, he suggested going home.
At this moment, Yan Xi was in a dilemma. The boy's reluctant eyes made him soft-hearted and he couldn't bear to leave him alone.
Gritting his teeth, he said with all his might, "Xiao Jin, how about you come back with me? I've finished my exams today, so it's a good time to celebrate."
"Okay." Lou Jinchuan smiled, and his beautiful eyes looked at him exceptionally brightly, like shining stars.
Li Yancheng watched the young man and the person he liked get into the same carriage. He felt uncomfortable in his heart and his eyes were gloomy.
He regretted it.
I regret approaching He Yanxi as a servant.
With this status, he could do nothing but watch his rival blatantly touch his beloved.
If this continues, He Yanxi's city will be attacked and plundered by the enemy sooner or later.
Li Yancheng followed the carriage with Mingzhu with a sour look on his face.
The people in the car were talking and laughing, but it had nothing to do with him.
Noticing his change in mood, Mingzhu frowned in confusion and whispered, "Cousin, what's wrong with you?"
Li Yancheng pursed his lips, suppressing his negative emotions, "It's okay, I just feel a little unwell."
"In that case, go back and take a rest. I'll take care of the young master."
"No need. We will definitely be busy today with a guest coming. How can I let you work alone? It's just a small matter. I can finish it quickly." Li Yancheng smiled and glanced at the curtain of the carriage.
