Of course, Gu Xinghe wasn't so narcissistic as to want all the girls' eyes to be on him all the time.
But now, the girls in front of Gu Xinghe were taking advantage of this contrast to "tease" him.
One second they were the center of attention and the core of the "struggle," the next they were deserted and abandoned.
Fortunately, Gu Xinghe didn't pay too much attention to this feeling of being "neglected".
Rather, it's hard to feel unhappy in such a relaxed and casual tea party atmosphere.
Just watching the gentle and beautiful girls chatting happily and listening to their light laughter from time to time.
That alone is enough to evoke tenderness and joy in people.
Moreover, even though the six girls in front of him seemed to be talking to each other, they didn't pay any attention to Gu Xinghe.
But in reality, while they were chatting with each other, they were also secretly keeping an eye on him.
For example, when you see Gu Xinghe's eyes light up because he's eating a delicious snack.
They would also feed him more of the food he found delicious at this time.
However, Eiffel, standing behind Gu Xinghe, seemed to feel sorry for Gu Xinghe's current situation of "no one paying attention to him".
So, feeling that she should be a good and attentive maid, she took the initiative to strike up a conversation with Gu Xinghe.
"Do you think it's okay to have fish stewed in tomato sauce for dinner tonight?"
Hearing Eiffel's initiative to ask, Gu Xinghe turned to look at her with slight surprise.
Most of the time, Eiffel seemed to be passively waiting for and listening to his instructions.
In retrospect, this was after the conversation that took place in his room earlier.
Eiffel's emotions seem to be becoming increasingly apparent.
"Of course, I like whatever Eiffel cooks."
After all, before transmigrating to this world, Gu Xinghe, who lived alone, could cook.
Moreover, the dishes made are all normal-tasting and filling.
But for convenience, he usually chooses to order takeout or eat at a small restaurant downstairs.
Therefore, after coming into this world, Gu Xinghe felt that his standard of living had indeed improved to a great extent.
"After all, Eiffel's cooking is the best I've ever eaten."
Therefore, at this moment, Gu Xinghe sincerely praised Eiffel.
However, a few people were secretly keeping an eye on Gu Xinghe's movements while chatting.
Upon hearing Gu Xinghe's words, they all stopped talking in perfect unison.
To win a man's heart, you must first win his stomach.
In modern works featuring romance, this is a phrase that is almost ubiquitous and often repeated.
While the expressions may not be exactly the same, similar phrases do exist in this world.
So, at this moment, upon hearing Gu Xinghe's sincere praise for Eiffel's cooking skills...
The girls, who had been chatting happily, all stopped and turned to look at Gu Xinghe and Eiffel.
"Eiffel has worked so hard cooking all this time, why don't you take a break today and try my cooking skills?"
This was Chris launching her offensive before anyone else, leveraging her relationship with Eiffel—
Chris's first half of her sentence subtly reminded Eiffel of her status as her master.
In the second half of the sentence, he also expressed his heartfelt wish that Eiffel would withdraw from the "battlefield".
"I've always cooked for my husband, so I think I'm the one who knows his tastes and preferences best."
Besides, the preparation of dinner shouldn't trouble the master; I'll continue to prepare dinner tonight."
This appears to be the first time Eiffel has shown resistance when faced with Chris's orders.
Rather, this is already a considerable degree of toughness for Eiffel.
But when she said these words, she didn't show any intention of targeting Chris.
In Eiffel's mind, she only believed that she was expressing logical and coherent statements.
Perhaps she herself did not realize that she had entered a special "battlefield".
Seeing this, Gu Xinghe also recalled his conversation with Eiffel in his room earlier.
At that time, Gu Xinghe realized that Eiffel seemed to have developed more and more self-awareness and emotions.
He had planned to keep this as a surprise and only let Chris know at the very end.
But unexpectedly, this surprise will unfold ahead of schedule in the current situation.
However, what Gu Xinghe had not expected was—
This little discussion about preparing dinner didn't seem to be limited to just Chris and Eiffel.
"Although I haven't cooked in a long time, bread and desserts were actually very famous in my hometown when I was a child."
There seem to be quite a few people here today. How about I help prepare tonight's dinner?
This is Teresa's speech after she suddenly appeared as a third party during the "confrontation" between Chris and Teresa.
Compared to Eiffel, who was in charge of cooking, and Chris, her master.
At this point, Theresa wanted to join the "dinner-making competition" as a guest.
She began by recounting her childhood before becoming a saint, highlighting her strengths in making bread and desserts.
It also evoked Gu Xinghe's memories of the play they watched at the Golden Apple Theater, adapted from Teresa's own experiences, and their time together at that time.
Secondly, it was a subtle suggestion that everyone should cook dinner together.
Since Chris and Eiffel are arguing about who should cook dinner...
From Theresa's perspective, it would be better for everyone to do it together.
After all, given her status as a visiting guest, she was rarely asked to prepare dinner in the kitchen.
Moreover, there are quite a few people here today, so it would be inappropriate to have only Chris or Eiffel prepare dinner.
"Actually, I've made some dishes before when I had a picnic in the park with the stars, although they were just very simple sandwiches..."
However, how about letting me participate this time, so I can try making some more challenging dishes?
At this point, Mia also showed some refusal to be outdone.
Knowing that he didn't have the same outstanding advantage in cooking as Teresa, who was also a guest, he knew that he was not as skilled in culinary arts as she was.
So at this point, she could only recount her picnic experience with Gu Xinghe in an attempt to increase her persuasiveness.
