Chapter 80 You need to go and support your sister-in-law!
How should I put it after hearing Xin Yang's words?
Lu Yanchuan felt he was almost used to it.
People usually say that it's a great honor to be friends with so-and-so.
Lu Yanchuan felt that being able to be friends with Xin Yang was truly... the worst luck imaginable.
Lu Yanchuan suppressed his anger and typed a reply on his phone screen: 【Thank you so much】
Xin Yang: [Hey, Brother Chuan, no need to be so polite]
He really didn't catch the emotions in Lu Yanchuan's words!
Lu Yanchuan even found it difficult to tap a string of dots on the screen.
Other old friends burst into laughter.
Rong Hengyu: [Yangzi, you're really making me laugh to death!]
Liang Qian: [How could there be such a clown as you, Yangzi?]
Li Chaolun: [Typical scenario where people talk about the city gate tower, and you talk about the hip joint.]
Xin Yang didn't understand the proverb, but seeing everyone so happy, he awkwardly sent two laughing emojis.
Then I asked a question.
Xin Yang: [Brother Chuan, you need to go to that class reunion and stand up for your wife. Even if you two are having disagreements, you can't let outsiders laugh at you.]
Lu Yanchuan stared at Xin Yang's message on his phone screen and thought that sometimes this seemingly simple-minded person was actually quite insightful.
Lu Yanchuan instructed Zhou Yan, "Have someone order a cake for me."
"Birthday cake?" Zhou Yan asked.
"It's not a birthday celebration, just cake," Lu Yanchuan said. "Cancel the dinner party tonight, I'm going to Shen Li's place."
Hearing Lu Yanchuan's words, Zhou Yan understood, "Yes, Mr. Lu."
Zhou Yan added, "Then, do we need to order flowers?"
"..." Lu Yanchuan actually thought of the look in Shen Li's eyes when she saw the rose nebula milkshake, and felt that... she didn't really like flowers.
"Need not."
...
After pondering for a long time, Qu Xiang couldn't resist any longer and peeked in with Xin Youran.
Qu Xiang: "Hey, I'm asking you, can it be fixed properly?"
Xin Youran nodded repeatedly, "Yes, Sister Li, how about we go out to eat? If we stay too long, you'll have to cook again, and who knows what time it will be by the time we eat."
Qu Xiang said, "How about I order takeout?"
"No!" Shen Li quickly said, "We've already bought so much food! Why order takeout?"
Shen Li had no choice but to pick up her phone and call Ji Linzhou, as she was completely unable to handle the stove.
When the phone rang, Ji Linzhou was sitting in Zhong Shaoyuan's tea room.
"Try it, this year's tea is quite good." Zhong Shaoyuan's tea-making skills were excellent, and his movements looked very smooth and fluid.
Every movement is casual, yet it exudes a sense of style.
He placed a cup of tea in front of Ji Linzhou.
The phone vibrated on the table. Ji Linzhou looked at the name on the screen and raised an eyebrow.
"What's wrong?" Zhong Shaoyuan glanced at the screen when he saw that he didn't answer.
His gaze froze upon seeing his beloved student's name, and he quickly instructed Ji Linzhou, "Hurry up and answer it!"
Ji Linzhou smiled, answered the call, and put it on speakerphone.
"Chen Li, what's wrong?"
Ji Linzhou's voice carried a hint of gentle laughter.
Shen Li was a little embarrassed. "Mr. Ji, I'm sorry to bother you, but I really can't light this stove in the kitchen. I don't know if it's malfunctioning."
Ji Linzhou thought for a moment and replied, "There should be a size 1 battery in the cabinet. How about we lift the stove up, replace the old battery in the battery compartment with a new one, and then try again?"
After saying this, Ji Linzhou added with some concern, "But that stove is a bit heavy, can you lift it?"
As soon as she finished speaking, she heard other people talking on the other end of the phone; it was a woman's voice.
Xin Youran whispered to Qu Xiang, "Sister Xiang, let's help carry it."
Qu Xiang didn't take it seriously, "It's nothing, Li Li has won the provincial women's judo championship, there's no problem at all."
Although Ji Linzhou couldn't hear every word clearly, he could vaguely make out most of it.
Ji Linzhou: "Are you entertaining friends?"
Shen Li: "Yes, I'm sorry, I need to use the studio's kitchen."
Ji Linzhou: "It's okay. Try changing the battery first to see if it can start. If not, call me again."
After ending the call, Ji Linzhou noticed Zhong Shaoyuan's gaze from the side.
"Why are you looking at me like that?" Ji Linzhou asked with a smile.
"Aren't you going to go and help? Useless brat!" Zhong Shaoyuan glared at him.
Ji Linzhou said helplessly, "She's entertaining friends. Wouldn't it be too much of a disturbance if I went over there abruptly?"
Zhong Shaoyuan stared at him. "Back then, when I told you to take the initiative, you said she was still young, hadn't even graduated from university yet, and that we should talk about it after she graduated."
"As a result, she was 'sold' to the Lu family as a daughter-in-law right after graduation. Now you're saying she's entertaining friends and you won't go help. You!"
Zhong Shaoyuan's tone was somewhat annoyed, and his next sentence was even more so: "It's like eating shit before you can even catch a hot bite!"
Ji Linzhou laughed out loud, "Who is the old man cursing?"
"I'm insulting you!"
"Are you going to analyze this statement more closely? Are you insulting me?"
Zhong Shaoyuan thought for a moment, frowned, and let out a long sigh.
"I know you young people these days don't like the whole matchmaking thing. Originally, I just wanted you to get to know each other better, anyway... Linzhou."
"Um?"
"Take better care of Xiaolizi from now on; she's had a tough time too."
Ji Linzhou didn't say anything, but stood up.
Zhong Shaoyuan was stunned and looked at him. "What's wrong? Are you angry?"
Ji Linzhou looked at him and said, "Didn't you ask me to go help? I'll go take a look now."
That way, the old man won't sound more and more pitiful.
...
Shen Li lifted the stove with one hand and replaced the large battery into the electronic lighter.
They fired again, and finally, they had a fire.
Qu Xiang and Xin Youran cheered.
Xin Youran works in social media and loves taking photos, so she immediately took out a gimbal from her bag and mounted her phone on it.
They were preparing to film Shen Li.
"Sister Li, are you allowed to take pictures?" Xin Youran asked, "Just pictures of me cooking, the kind where my face isn't shown."
"Live broadcast?" Shen Li blinked.
Xin Youran nodded, "Yes, we'll edit it into a short video later."
"Let's go for it," Shen Li thought, since Qu Xiang's business was mainly focused on this area anyway.
Xin Youran quickly started her live stream.
Shen Li's cooking movements weren't actually that graceful.
It's normal. The way ordinary people cook is not very aesthetically pleasing. They don't plan ahead, so aesthetics are not taken into consideration.
But it gives a feeling of being very smooth and skilled.
It's pleasing to the eye.
In addition, Shen Li's movements were very efficient. She washed, chopped, and prepared the vegetables, wiped the cutting board and kitchen counter clean, and then prepared to start cooking.
This is practically OCD-friendly! Xin Youran's live stream already had a large number of fans and high viewership.
This time, the barrage of bullets increased even more.
[OCD friendly!]
[Completely OCD friendly +10086!]
Has Xin Xiaoran finally given up? After visiting so many restaurants, is she finally going to start making her own?
[Just kidding... Am I the only one who recognized the ring on my hand?]
