Chapter 7
Seeing that Ming Yunle agreed, Xia Chen was also happy.
"Then wait until tonight."
"OK."
Xia Chen, a person who couldn't sit still, left within ten minutes of entering the door.
Ming Yunle didn't care too much about where Xia Chen went. He would definitely show up on time for dinner anyway.
Sure enough, as soon as the food was served on the table, Xia Chen suddenly appeared from nowhere.
Sitting in the restaurant, Xia Chen asked, "Why are there so few people today?"
More than that, there was only Ming Yunle in the entire restaurant besides the butler.
"My parents are on a business trip, and my brother still won't be home for dinner today."
"Oh." Xia Chen said after sitting down, "Is Ming Yunyuan too busy?"
Ming Yunle: "I called him again this morning."
"Then what?"
"Same old story. He asked me if I was okay, and when he knew I was fine, he hung up."
Xia Chen smiled: "He was like this even when I called him. It's really his style."
Ming Yunle really has no way to deal with his younger brother.
His younger brother was a total geek, a stark contrast to him since childhood. How much of a geek was he? He was definitely more geeky than Qin Bai.
Ming Yunle had been worried about his health before, but his brother himself also cared about it and was not someone who didn't know what was going on, so Ming Yunle felt relieved.
I hope that within three months, he can have a meal with his brother. Ming Yunle thought so.
That night, an uninvited guest came before they watched a movie.
It's over. Ming Yunle looked at Qin Bai who came to visit and closed his eyes.
Unlike Ming Yunle, Xia Chen was much more excited.
He quickly took the cake from Qin Bai's hand and dragged Qin Bai into the screening room.
Ming Yunle was really impressed.
Qin Bai must have done it on purpose. He came today instead of earlier or later.
After watching a movie, Ming Yunle felt physically and mentally exhausted.
He thought that next time Xia Chen came, he would definitely ask him to accompany him to do what he wanted.

Why hasn’t Xia Chen come recently?
Ming Yunle held his chin and looked out the window. He was a little uncomfortable without Xia Chen.
Just as I was thinking about Xia Chen, Xia Chen's message came.
[Xia Chen: Cousin, come and eat, come and eat, come and eat]
Ming Yunle was really having a headache. Why did he have to say "eating" three times?
Ming Yunle was not hungry at all and was about to refuse when he saw a new message from Xia Chen.
[Xia Chen: Didn't we agree a few days ago to get together for dinner?]
That being said, they have been having dinner together quite often. How come they haven’t gotten tired of it after eight hundred times?
[Xia Chen: I have nothing to do today, so I came to ask you]
【Xia Chen: Are you coming? Are you coming? Are you coming? 】
Xia Chen sent a familiar address.
Ming Yunle took a closer look. Isn't this the villa where Xia Chen used to entertain his close friends?
【Xia Chen: It’s been a while since I’ve been here! 】
"Is Xia Chen looking for you for dinner?" Ruan Yan also sent a message.
"Um."
"Are you going?"
Ming Yunle thought that he was free now, so he agreed: "Then go."
By the time Mingyunle arrived, it was almost noon.
He had refused the dinner party at first because he said he wasn't hungry, but now he was really hungry.
The housekeeper took him to the designated place. Ming Yunle saw Xia Chen lying on the recliner in a daze, looking utterly ungraceful. Not far away from Xia Chen was sitting Gu Jing, who was looking at Xia Chen in a daze.
Such a strong romantic atmosphere.
Seeing Ming Yunle coming, Gu Jing waved to Ming Yunle, and Xia Chen looked up at his cousin.
Looking at Xia Chen's excited eyes, Ming Yunle suddenly had a bad feeling.
Xia Chen stood up quickly and said, "Since everyone is here, let's get started."
Ming Yunle: "Start what?"
"Let me show you my skills."
Ming Yunle was immediately distraught. Xia Chen was going to cook for this dinner himself?
No, does Xia Chen know how to cook? Can he distinguish the seasonings?
Knowing his past strengths and weaknesses, Xia Chen explained, "I'm well aware of my level, don't worry."
Ming Yunle felt even more uneasy and uneasy.
Xia Chen added, "Uncle Li is here too, he's watching over you. With Uncle Li, the chef, here, you don't have to worry."
That won’t work either.
Ming Yunle was about to refuse, but Xia Chen suddenly had an idea. Seeing Xia Chen's eyes lit up, Ming Yunle was frightened and took a step back.
Xia Chen: "Let's do it together. Do you want to try it too?"
Ming Yunle was really impressed.
Today has been full of twists and turns.
Ming Yunle smiled bitterly. Could he refuse?
There are several chefs in the manor, why should Xia Chen cook?
How can he make his cousin give up?
Ming Yunle sighed, turned his head and looked out the window. Suddenly, an idea occurred to him and he quickly said, "Let's have a barbecue outdoors."
Although Xia Chen felt a little regretful, he thought outdoor barbecue was also nice, so he asked the housekeeper to prepare it.
But Xia Chen still didn't give up: "I thought about it and decided to show you some of my skills. I learned it specially, it would be a shame if I didn't show you some."
After saying that, he ran to the kitchen, with Gu Jing following him.
Ming Yunle was a little worried, so he followed them.
Ruan Yan had just walked in and saw this scene, so he walked over.
Ming Yunle was kind enough to explain the current situation to him.
Xia Chen looked very capable in the kitchen, which was beyond Ming Yunle's expectation.
Although it took a bit of time, I was able to make two dishes.
Xia Chen finally stopped with satisfaction, and before leaving, he did not forget to say: "I have learned other things, but I am not proficient in them. I will do them next time."
Ming Yunle also followed him out of the kitchen. Finally, only Gu Jing and Ruan Yan were left in the kitchen. It seemed that they also wanted to show off their skills.
They are different from Xia Chen. Xia Chen has just learned it not long ago, but they have excellent skills and rich cooking experience.
But Ming Yunle thought that they had originally invited him to a dinner party, so why would they ask him to come and cook? So he said, "Forget it, let's just have barbecue, don't bother."
"It's okay. We meet again. I'll make you something delicious as a reunion gift."
Although Ming Yunle felt embarrassed, he was greedy because Ruan Yan's cooking skills were really good.
Xia Chen felt embarrassed, but he also coveted Gu Jing's cooking skills, so he agreed.
While the two chefs, Gu Jing and Ruan Yan, were cooking, the two of them, who were unable to help at all, just did what they were supposed to do.
A lounge chair was set up outside, and Ming Yunle went outside.
Although he was lying on the recliner, he was still thinking about what was happening in the kitchen.
This scene is so familiar after a long time.
The scene from a year ago overlapped with the scene he just saw. At one moment, Ming Yunle even suspected that he was dreaming.
The sun shone on Ming Yunle, feeling very comfortable. When the food was ready, Ming Yunle's upper and lower eyelids had already started to fight. Ruan Yan found it a little funny when he saw it.
"Get up." Ruan Yan held Ming Yunle's hand and pulled him up.
"Everything is ready, grill the meat."
When they arrived at the place, Ming Yunle was still dizzy.
It was not until he sat down on the chair and saw the table full of food that Ming Yunle finally came to his senses.
Wow, all of his favorite dishes are here. Opposite him, Xia Chen is looking at the dishes with green eyes, and he looks like he can't wait.
"for you."
After being stuffed with a bowl, Ming Yunle did not eat it immediately, but instead secretly glanced at Ruan Yan several times.
At first, Ruan Yan didn't react, but after being stared at for a long time, he looked back.
"Don't look at me, eat." "Oh."
Ming Yunle suddenly became obedient.
Ming Yunle picked up a piece of meat, but before he could put it in his bowl, he heard Ruan Yan say, "Since our meeting, something hasn't been right with you."
The meat on Ming Yunle's chopsticks almost fell off, but he kept his composure.
It was a close call, I almost got exposed.
Did he discover something? No way, it was too obvious that he hadn't shown it.
After placing the meat steadily in the bowl, Ming Yunle asked, "Really?"
"yes."
Ruan Yan said this, but he didn't say anything else. Seeing that he was eating and drinking as usual and had no intention of asking further questions, Ming Yunle finally breathed a sigh of relief.
I was too nervous.
Why is eating a meal so thrilling? His questions have made me so thirsty.
What about water? What about drinks?
Ming Yunle was looking for a drink everywhere, but before he could find one, Ruan Yan stuffed a bottle into his hand.
He started drinking the drink, and after finishing it, he saw Ruan Yan looking at him with a smile.
Ming Yunle pretended not to care and continued doing what he was doing, but he was actually a little nervous.
Don't look at me, don't look at me, don't look at me, I feel guilty, I feel guilty, I feel guilty.
After dinner, Xia Chen and Gu Jing played outside, while Ming Yunle and Ruan Yan sat on the carpet playing games.
It had been a while since we played games together. After playing for a while, we found that both of us seemed to have improved.
After another round, Ruan Yan announced a temporary break.
He took a sip of water and suddenly thought of something. He said, "I remember you came to K City for tourism and thought it was nice, so you stayed there temporarily?"
Not knowing why Ruan Yan asked this, Ming Yunle hummed and looked at Ruan Yan: "What's wrong?"
Ruan Yan asked curiously, "Do you plan to travel around in the future? And then live in one place for a few years, like you did in K City?"
Ming Yunle shook his head. Of course that wasn’t the case.
In fact, he lived in K City for a long time because he had always wanted to travel to K City, which was said to have particularly beautiful scenery.
K City is quite big. He just painted during the week and wandered around in his free time, and before he knew it, a lot of time had passed.
That's it, he didn't visit the whole place.
Gradually, two years passed by unknowingly.
Of course, there was another reason why he stayed in City A with peace of mind.
City K and City A are adjacent to each other, and he lives not far from his home, so it's convenient for him to go back home for dinner with friends and family. So he never hesitated about whether to stay in City K or return to City A.
If Qin Bai hadn't suggested that he move back later, he might still be living in K City. After all, the transportation is very convenient and he can just drive.
And the scenery around his house over there is really beautiful, and he still thinks about it from time to time.
His house in K City was not sold because of this. Ming Yunle felt that he might move back there one day.
