It was getting late, so Pei Zhi and Jiang Cheng got right to work. They busied themselves in the kitchen for a long time, and finally, when Pei Xi's stomach growled for the first time, they officially started eating.
During the meal, Pei Xi suddenly remembered something.
When Jiang Cheng mentioned that he could cook, she remarked that she wondered who would be his first customer.
I never expected it to be their whole family.
Of course, the fried egg Jiang Chengjian made that I ate in the rented room doesn't count.
Jiang Cheng's cooking skills are excellent; the heat and saltiness are just right. As Pei Xi ate, she wondered if she would gain weight now that there were two people in the family who could cook.
Then she thought, so what if she's fat? No one will dislike her anyway.
After finishing their meal and putting the dishes into the dishwasher, Pei Zhi suggested playing cards.
The other three all readily agreed.
The four people were divided into two groups, and the groups were decided by drawing lots according to the suit of black and red. Pei Xi and Pei Ruoyun were in one group, and Pei Zhi and Jiang Cheng were in the other group.
After playing several rounds, Pei Zhi lost more than he won, and suddenly became furious. He pointed at Jiang Cheng and said with great indignation, "Traitor, you let us win! We were clearly on the same side!"
"I didn't," Jiang Cheng said innocently.
"I'm not blind!!" Pei Zhi angrily threw down the cards.
"I just want Pei Xi and Auntie to win a few more rounds," Jiang Cheng said sincerely.
Pei Zhi was taken aback.
Then I glared at him fiercely.
This kid lifted him up again.
It makes him seem like some unreasonable person!
A blatant, overt scheme! He'll only use it on him!
Pei Xi and Pei Ruoyun, who were standing nearby, almost burst out laughing at the sight.
Just then, Pei Zhi suddenly had a flash of inspiration. His eyes darted around, and he looked at Pei Ruoyun and said, "Mom, you're in my group."
After saying that, she glanced at Jiang Cheng.
On one side is Pei Ruoyun, and on the other is Pei Xi. He wants to see how he'll go easy on Pei Xi this time.
Pei Zhi was almost impressed with himself.
To be honest, Pei Zhi's move was indeed clever.
Because Jiang Cheng is really in a difficult position this time.
If we let them win, it will drag Pei Xi down with them.
If they don't release water, Pei Ruoyun is on the other side.
Just as he was pondering a solution, Pei Xi suddenly tugged at his clothes under the table.
Then she leaned close to his ear and whispered, "You play normally, and I'll go easy on you so no one will notice."
Jiang Cheng was taken aback, then suddenly smiled, "Okay."
They played several more rounds, and Pei Ruoyun and Pei Zhi won almost every single one. By the end, Pei Zhi was practically worshipping his own card skills.
Pei Ruoyun silently saw through everything, exchanged a glance with Pei Xi opposite her, shook her head, and said nothing.
That silly son of hers, no wonder he's single.
I wonder which girl will be interested in me in the future.
If that day ever comes, she will definitely give the girl a big red envelope.
Pei Ruoyun smiled as she thought.
After finishing playing cards, it was already quite late. Pei Ruoyun had specifically asked Li Ma to prepare a guest room for Jiang Cheng to sleep in.
Before going to bed, Pei Ruoyun specifically instructed the two chefs not to make her breakfast the next morning, as she was not used to eating breakfast and only needed a cup of black coffee.
So the next morning, thanks to the two chefs' practice, Pei Xi was able to have a hot breakfast as soon as he went downstairs.
The fried egg was her favorite soft-boiled egg.
During the meal, Pei Zhi suddenly remembered something and asked Pei Xi, "By the way, your Miaomiao hasn't come back yet? Is Grandma spending the New Year alone at home today?"
Pei Xi swallowed a mouthful of milk, then shook her head. "She and Sun Yufei took a flight this morning and arrived this afternoon."
Pei Zhi nodded in relief.
He took another bite of bread when his phone on the table suddenly rang.
Pei Zhi glanced at the caller ID, extended one finger to slide the answer button, and because he was eating, he couldn't use his hand properly, so he directly pressed the speakerphone button.
Shi Chen's cheerful voice immediately came through the phone: "What are you doing, Young Master Pei?"
Pei Zhi, with something in his mouth, mumbled a reply: "Eat."
Shi Chen said "Oh," and then continued, "The weather is great today. Let's go play basketball after dinner. I've invited Tong Kai and Da Fan. It's time to revive the glory of our Dream Team."
Pei Zhi rolled his eyes at his childish use of language.
Just as he was about to make a sarcastic remark, Shi Chen added, "By the way, bring your brother-in-law along too; he's a core member of our team."
Upon hearing Shi Chen's address, Pei Xi and Jiang Cheng both looked up at him.
Pei Zhi: "..."
He calls it that so naturally, it's hard for him to explain!
It's as if that's how he usually addresses him!
Pei Zhi moved his lips, but didn't know how to explain, so he simply pretended nothing had happened and took a big bite of bread.
He chewed his food fiercely and then slammed his finger on the screen. "Okay, I'll go after I finish eating. I'm hanging up!"
