Everyone knows what a best friend is.
It was a relationship that went beyond friendship; they were people who could talk about anything and share their daily lives.
Whether a best friend is good or bad, her existence is justified.
However, I never imagined that the "best friend" relationship, as defined in reality, would one day be brought to the dinner table.
It became a dish...
If it weren't for the fact that the appearance was different, Luo Chen and Qin Zhengwen would have really made other connections.
But as the foil was peeled off, they finally saw what was inside and why it was defined as "best friends".
However, the result left everyone speechless.
Nothing more.
Cut a jackfruit in half and put a turtle inside, calling it a "best friend"—that seems pretty reasonable, right?
A tortoise plus a jackfruit equals "best friends," isn't that reasonable?
Qin Zhengwen lowered his head in guilt. When he saw the dish, he felt inexplicably ashamed and dared not look up at anyone. Even though he hadn't made it, Qin Xiyao was his daughter, and Luo Chen was here. He couldn't help but feel ashamed.
The previous dishes were already quite bizarre, but still acceptable. But this last dish…
That's unacceptable.
Seeing Luo Chen's lips twitching uncontrollably, Qin Zhengwen had no choice but to step forward and say something.
"Daughter, didn't you promise me you wouldn't cook at home?"
[Yeah, didn't I promise Tiger Soul, Raphael, and Lu Wanqing I wouldn't cook? How can I go back on my word?]
“Father, I did say it and I promised you, but... I didn’t promise him.”
"Um?"
Luo Chen pointed at himself in shock.
"Did I promise you that?"
Qin Xiyao blinked calmly. Her words were not at all an attempt to deny it; she had indeed never promised Luo Chen that she wouldn't cook.
Promising to someone else and promising to Luo Chen are two different things and should not be confused, so there's nothing wrong with that.

In the end, Qin Xiyao's cooking still failed to get Luo Chen to eat it.
Qin Zhengwen was worried that if Luo Chen ate it and something went wrong, he wouldn't be able to explain it to Luo Chengfang.
Although I don't quite understand what caused my daughter to target me like this.
But this is a matter between young people. Qin Zhengwen is not an old fogey and will not interfere too much, provided that there is no danger to his life.
Ignore Qin Xiyao's resentment.
Qin Zhengwen quickly pulled Luo Chen to the study.
First, the chef who was suddenly given a day off was asked to return to the kitchen to prepare dinner, followed by an apology.
Luo Chen naturally dared not accept the elder's apology, even though he didn't understand why Qin Xiyao had suddenly become like this.
But as the saying goes, you can't guess a woman's thoughts. No matter how you try, you'll never get it right. They'll always misinterpret things in some strange way, and then it will escalate into an even more serious situation.
So, aside from finding the situation strange, the two of them didn't think much of it and instead used other topics to defuse the awkwardness.
In the comfortable study, Luo Chen and Qin Zhengwen talked a lot, about the past and the present.
Although the topic was somewhat bland, a lot of information could still be gleaned from it.
Regarding the Jiang family, one of the two dominant powers in Yan Province, Luo Chen learned something different from Qin Zhengwen.
Although the plot describes the Jiang family quite a bit, it only outlines the general direction of the story. The plot develops after the protagonist appears, and ultimately, that kind of information isn't very helpful.
After all, everything in the plot serves the protagonist.
If one wants to find an opportunity to suppress Ye Feng, then the best approach is to explore other aspects, things that one is unfamiliar with.
It was quite late when I left Qin Zhengwen's study.
Before they knew it, they had been chatting for so long that they hadn’t even noticed it was almost midnight.
Of course, Luo Chen and Qin Zhengwen were not hiding in the study to avoid Qin Xiyao and prevent being fed more terrible food.
They could never admit to something like this.
As it was getting late, Qin Zhengwen asked Luo Chen to stay the night, but Luo Chen declined the offer.
Having barely escaped Qin Xiyao's terrible cooking, who knows what might happen if I stay here for the night?
Seeing this, Qin Zhengwen did not insist, and could only invite Luo Chen to visit the Qin family again next time, and promised that such a thing would not happen again.
Luo Chen could only smile helplessly at this.
[...]
Qin Zhengwen's study was at the very back of the second floor. After politely declining Qin Zhengwen's offer to see her out, Qin Zhengwen returned to his study, leaving Luo Chen alone in the corridor heading towards the first floor.
The Qin family's house looks like an old-fashioned courtyard house with a sense of history.
But after these years of renovations, some things have changed.
The former pavilions have been transformed into sky gardens, which not only expand the field of vision but also add a lot of other comforts.
Although it may seem cruel to destroy beauty, nostalgia and conservatism are not things that must be followed forever; one must always adapt to the times.
The renovation of the rooftop garden didn't feel out of place; on the contrary, it felt as if it had always been there.
Luo Chen had to pass through here to go downstairs, but after taking only a few steps, a song rang out in the quiet night.
The sound isn't loud; it's played on a mobile phone.
With the floor-to-ceiling windows in between, the noise in the corridor wasn't very loud.
Perhaps it was precisely because they knew this that they dared to play music at this time.
Having already reached the Grandmaster realm, Luo Chen's hearing was naturally enhanced, and with the current tranquil environment, what he could hear was even clearer.
Although he didn't know who was sitting in the courtyard playing emo music at this hour, Luo Chen recognized the song.
It's the song that Lu Wanqing used to win the championship on the final night of the Singer competition.
Minecraft
It becomes more wondrous and indescribable.
I thought
It was a dream that fell from the sky.
Until determined
The warmth of your hands comes from your heart.
This moment
I finally mustered the courage to say I love you.
At first I was only focused on looking at you
Pretending to be casual, but my mind drifted over.
I'm secretly pleased that you didn't notice me.
Hiding in the corner
Busy with happiness, busy with emotion
From strangers to acquaintances
It would be something we never thought possible.
True love until now
I dare not expect
To prove oneself
You once thought of Really
I wish my wild thoughts would begin today.
Like a trap
But I never hesitated to believe.
If you're really willing, please give me a surprise.
About love
There was no unexpected ending in the past.
From that day on
But it overturned its own logic.
My doubts
All answers are clear because of you.
Spin and spin
And then I really met Mr. Right…
The person sitting in the courtyard hummed a few lines, and Luo Chen, standing by the corridor, realized who was sitting there.
It turned out to be Qin Xiyao...
[That's strange, what is Qin Xiyao doing here so late at night?]
[Is this the kind of emo thing she would do?]
Although Luo Chen saw Qin Xiyao again, the feeling he got from her was different; she was like a completely different person from before.
But in Luo Chen's mind, Qin Xiyao didn't seem like the kind of person who was easily vulnerable.
Even with immense suffering, she remained strong and stubborn.
But tonight, it seems I saw a side of her that no one else knew.
