"Knock knock knock".
There was a knock on the door.
Qin Luxin, who was sulking, curled her lips into a cold smile.
It's too late to comfort myself now.
She waited a moment after the knocking before asking, "Who is it?"
As she spoke, she opened the door.
"Why is it you?"
Qin Luxin peeked out.
Tan Zhou squeezed in, closed the door, and whispered, "Don't worry, there's no one outside, and the cameraman didn't follow."
What are you doing here?
Qin Luxin said coquettishly.
She wasn't really angry; Tan Zhou could tell just by listening.
Holding Qin Luxin in his arms and resting his head against her, Tan Zhou said, "I was just worried you were hungry. Would you like something to eat?"
"No."
Pushing Tan Zhou away, Qin Luxin, dressed in her pajamas, sat on the edge of the bed, legs crossed: "You came up here to find me, aren't you afraid your tigress will get jealous?"
"She's just an idiot, she doesn't understand anything." Tan Zhou sat down next to Qin Luxin and reached out to stop her: "How can she compare to you, sister, who is so fragrant and charming?"
The atmosphere in the room became ambiguous, and the two moved closer and closer...

"Is it done? Give it to me when it's done."
Little Yuzi, wearing an apron that Luo Li had somehow gotten her from, was seriously brushing on the seasonings while directing Liu Feier.
Liu Feier picked up the chicken leg she had painstakingly skewered: "Here it comes."
From being completely unfamiliar with the technique at the beginning to now being able to use it with ease, Liu Feier only took half an hour.
She can now wear flesh with ease.
After brushing the chicken leg with oil, Xiaoyouzi held out her hand and said, "Give me the knife."
"for you."
Liu Feier quickly snatched the knife from Cheng Cheng's hand and gave it to Xiao Youzi.
Xiao Youzi made a few cuts on the chicken leg and started brushing on the sauce.
"Everything over there is ready. You can stop what you're doing and eat quickly."
Zhou Jieyi was so hungry he was about to faint: "I'm not going to be polite with you guys anymore, I'm really about to faint from hunger."
He held a peeled sweet potato in one hand and a slice of bacon in the other, taking bites of each one: "Mmm, so delicious!"
"This bacon is cooked just right."
Zhou Jieyi squinted his eyes happily as he ate.
"Ah, right!"
Little Yuzu suddenly remembered something and stopped what she was doing: "I've almost forgotten about my beggar's chicken."
She quickly threw away the extinguished embers and dug out the beggar's chicken, covered in mud.
After peeling off the outer mud shell, Xiaoyouzi slowly peeled off the tin foil: "It's been sitting out for a while, so it's not as hot outside anymore."
As soon as the foil was opened, hot air immediately rushed out.
Xiao Youzi put on gloves and gently peeled open the lotus leaf.
The enticing aroma wafted directly into everyone's noses.
The plump beggar's chicken lies nestled in a lotus leaf, its rich aroma making everyone's mouths water.
Wow! When was this made?!
Now, not only Zhou Jieyi, but even Liu Feier's eyes widened: "It smells so good!"
Even though she had eaten dishes from many famous chefs, she had to admit that the beggar's chicken in front of her was more fragrant and tempting.
Could it be because I'm just too hungry?
"It's so hot!"
The little girl was about to tear open the pomelo when she accidentally burned her little hand red.
Luo Li immediately stood up, feeling sorry for Xiao Youzi, and said, "Come on, let's take a cold shower first."
"Let me tear it open! My hands are rough!"
When Zhou Jieyi saw the fragrant chicken, his eyes widened in surprise.
He quickly put the food in his hand into the bowl, put on gloves, and began to tear the beggar's chicken apart.
"Brother Yi, let me help you."
Bai Yu wore double gloves and joined in to help.
Soon, a pot of chicken was shredded.
"Let's eat chicken first!" Little Yuzu put a few hard-to-roast ears of corn in the middle of the oven and moved the rest to the side.
The group ate heartily while keeping an eye on the stove.
"It's so delicious! It's really delicious!"
Zhou Jieyi couldn't help but say, "This tastes even better than what I've had at fancy restaurants."
Even the well-traveled Liu Feier couldn't help but nod: "It's delicious."
"It's so delicious!" Cheng Cheng ate with gusto.
As expected of my little aunt! Everything she makes tastes delicious!
Bai Yu exclaimed, "This is the first time I've tasted Xiao Youzi's cooking, it's amazing! Luo Li, you're so lucky."
"No problem."
Luo Li carefully wiped Xiao Youzi's hands and placed a chicken leg on her plate: "Eat."
"Thank you, brother!"
Little Youzi sat down next to Luo Li, put on gloves, and happily began to eat.
Not long after the group finished dividing up the beggar's chicken...
Tan Zhou changed his clothes and walked down the street looking refreshed.
Where did you go?
Liu Feier frowned as she looked at Tan Zhou.
Tan Zhou said, "I just went to take a shower, so I won't have to wait in line later."
With a smile, Tan Zhou sat down.
Cheng Cheng immediately said, "Pay the points and you can eat."
"Of course I'll pay."
He ate a chicken leg, and then, as if remembering something, casually remarked, "By the way, Sister Xin is still upstairs and hasn't eaten anything yet. Why don't we take something up with us?"
"Sister Xin? Are you two very close?" Liu Feier glanced at him.
Realizing that he had gotten carried away and accidentally called her Sister Xin, Tan Zhou said, "Sister Xin told me to call her Sister, it's just a form of address."
"oh."
Seeing that no one was talking about him, Tan Zhou glanced at Zhou Jieyi.
Zhou Jieyi said, "Let's send some to Teacher Qin."
After Tan Zhou left, Zhou Jieyi said with a smile, "Deduct my points later, since we're in the same group."
