Just when everyone was wondering where Su Jin was taking Tao Tao, Su Jin finally arrived at the destination holding Tao Tao.
The logs, following the contours of the land, twisted and turned into the forest. On the platform supported by the logs, a charming little building appeared before everyone.
The moment they saw this small building, all the viewers in the live broadcast room felt a sense of familiarity.
[Why do I feel like I've seen this small building somewhere...]
[!!! I remember now! Isn't this Room 1 where Gong Rao and Feng Jiayan live?!]
When the audience suddenly realized what was going on, Su Jin, who had walked to the door of the small building, stopped and looked a little hesitant.
Before choosing Room 5, Su Jin and Gong Rao had discussed that they would choose Room 5 and leave Room 1 to Gong Rao and Feng Jiayan. But if necessary, they could share Room 1 with them.
But when they discussed it, cooking was not mentioned.
Wouldn't it seem a bit shameless to come here so rashly?
Tao Tao was unaware of Su Jin's inner struggle. She raised her nose, sniffed the fragrance in the air, and couldn't help but widen her eyes.
She smelled hot and sour shredded potatoes! And braised spareribs!
The next second, Tao Tao couldn't wait to raise her hand and knocked on the door.
With a "click", the door was opened from the inside, revealing Feng Jiayan's face behind the door.
Feng Jiayan opened the door and saw Tao Tao, who was being held by Su Jin at the door, looking at her eagerly: "What's wrong?"
Tao Tao didn't understand Su Jin's dilemma at all. She raised her hands with a smile and said, "We're here to eat for free!"
Let's have a meal——
Free meal——
These six loud words echoed in the air. For a moment, as Su Jin's expression stiffened, the air seemed to freeze.
[Haha ...
[Su Jin’s expression makes me laugh every time I see it]
[Saved a life, is this the legendary "natural counter to tsundere"?]
[Staff members in the back, don’t hide! The live broadcast camera has captured your giggling hahhhh]
Tao Tao couldn't understand the awkward atmosphere in the air. She patted Su Jin's stiff arm and signaled Su Jin to put her down.
Su Jin was in shock and subconsciously followed Tao Tao's idea.
After landing on the ground, Tao Tao ran happily to the door and faced Feng Jiayan: "We also brought big black fish, tofu and pork belly. Look!" After that, Tao Tao raised her hand and pointed to the ingredients in the staff's hands.
Feng Jiayan turned slightly and said, "Come in first."
Tao Tao's eyes lit up, and she happily revealed two dimples: "Thank you, Jiajia~"
Tao Tao smelled the fragrance and ran into the small building. However, Feng Jiayan did not let Su Jin in directly. Instead, he looked up at Su Jin and said calmly, "I'll go ask Sister Gong Rao first."
"Wait!" Seeing Feng Jiayan turning around and preparing to leave, Su Jin asked in disbelief, "Why can Tao Tao go in directly, but I can't?"
Feng Jiayan frowned, as if he didn't understand why Su Jin would ask such an unreasonable question.
But he still explained to Su Jin: "This small building is where Sister Gong Rao and I live together. Taotao is my friend, and I'm willing to let her come in and play. But I don't know if you are Sister Gong Rao's friend, and Sister Gong Rao is a girl, and you are a boy, so I need to ask her opinion."
After explaining, Feng Jiayan stared at Su Jin's eyes for a while, as if asking silently.
Do you understand?
I don’t know whether Su Jin understood it or not, but the audience in the live broadcast room did.
[I understand, but I am shocked]
[Translation of Feng Jiayan's words: I'm being hypocritical towards you and Taotao, so what?]
[Am I the only one who noticed? Feng Jiayan said Taotao is his friend!]
[I am dying of laughter. I never expected that Su Jin would suffer such a setback on variety shows, losing to the kids one after another.]
[After listening to Feng Jiayan’s explanation, I have to say, I think it makes a lot of sense.]
[Feng Jiayan: Please respect some boundaries when interacting with others, thank you!]
[Honestly, having a brother like Feng Jiayan is so great! At a time like this, he still remembers to care about his sister's opinion.]
[Indeed… Although he was a bit cocky when introducing himself earlier, judging from this clip, Feng Jiayan is actually quite good.]
After feeling that he had explained everything clearly to Su Jin, Feng Jiayan closed the door and turned to ask Gong Rao for her opinion.
Gong Rao still remembered the agreement she had made with Su Jin, so she didn't make things difficult for him: "Then let him in."
Finally, when Tao Tao ran to the stove and watched Gong Rao cooking braised pork ribs, Feng Jiayan opened the door and let Su Jin in.
Seeing Gong Rao waving the spatula and adding seasonings into the pot freely, and the aroma of the braised spareribs becoming more and more intense with the bubbling sound, Tao Tao couldn't help but close her mouth and swallowed hard.
Hmm——it smells so good!
When Gong Rao turned her head, she saw the little girl with a chubby face, her eyes wide open, with stars twinkling in them, looking up at her as if she saw a great hero.
Such rich emotions in the eyes made Gong Rao couldn't help but purse her lips, and the corners of her mouth subconsciously curled up.
"Taotao brought a big black fish, tofu..." Tao Tao counted them one by one on her fingers, "and pork belly!"
"Well, our Taotao is really great." Gong Rao praised with a curved mouth.
After taking the braised spareribs out of the pot, Gong Rao sorted out the ingredients and made a plan in her mind: "We already have braised spareribs for lunch, so the pork belly can be saved for dinner. How about making a black fish and tofu stew with pickled cabbage and black fish?"
Tao Tao couldn't help but exclaim "Wow" and nodded her little head like a woodpecker, which made Gong Rao couldn't help but chuckle.
A splash of oil flew up, causing Gong Rao to frown. "Taotao, can you please go out first? There might be oil splashing in the kitchen, and it could burn you. It's very dangerous."
"Oh..." Tao Tao smelled the fragrance, and her feet seemed to be firmly stuck to the floor, unwilling to leave.
She raised her eyes and looked at Gong Rao with pitiful eyes.
Gong Rao couldn't resist such a look at all!
But facing Tao Tao's aggrieved look, Gong Rao had her own way of dealing with it.
"Jia Jia, the kitchen is dangerous. Take Tao Tao out to play for a while."
Hearing Gong Rao's voice, Feng Jiayan walked to the kitchen door. He glanced at Tao Tao, who looked reluctant, and said slowly, "There are peeled mangosteens on the table outside..."
Tao Tao, who had just been lingering in the kitchen and didn't want to leave, immediately ran to Feng Jiayan and took Feng Jiayan's hand: "Jiajia, let's go play together!"
Looking at the backs of the two children walking out hand in hand, Gong Rao couldn't help laughing. When she looked up, she found that Su Jin had unknowingly stood at the door.
Gong Rao still had a smile in her eyes: "Actually, the child is quite cute."
Su Jin restrained the corners of his mouth that were raised, and said stubbornly, "It's just so-so."
[You're lying! You just laughed happier than Gong Rao!]
[You and Taotao are clearly having a lot of fun!]
[Tsk tsk tsk, you can’t say one thing and mean another.]
Su Jin didn't know that he had been repeatedly sabotaged by the audience in the live broadcast room. He glanced at the situation in the kitchen and asked, "Is there anything I can help with?"
Gong Rao glanced at him and asked, "Can you kill fish?"
Su Jin shook his head honestly.
Gong Rao looked at the tofu: "What about cutting the tofu?"
Su Jin hesitated for a moment: "Cut with a kitchen knife...?"
Gong Rao finally struggled: "Where are you washing the pickled vegetables?"
"Sauerkraut...does it need to be washed?"
Gong Rao: “…”
"You stand here... a little to the left... OK, this is the spot."
Su Jin stood in the kitchen and asked curiously, "And then?"
Gong Rao raised her hand and easily made a knife pattern with the kitchen knife: "Watch carefully and learn well."
Then, he knocked the fish on the chopping board unconscious with one knife.
Su Jin:!!!
Audience in the live broadcast room:!!!
[Heroine! Great skills!]
***
While Su Jin in the kitchen was refreshing his perception of Gong Rao's "weakness", in the living room, Tao Tao was eating mangosteen while watching a video with Feng Jiayan.
"According to Keynes' theory, people's motivations for holding money are divided into..."
"The formula for calculating the amount of money required in circulation..."
[I'm already stupid...]
[I look at the short videos the kids are watching, then look at what I’m watching, and fall silent.]
[5555 Sorry, I am a loser watching the live variety show here TAT]
Tao Tao's eyes were already full of tears after listening for a while. She couldn't help but pull Feng Jiayan's sleeve and said, "Can...can we change the video?"
Feng Jiayan turned to look at Tao Tao and pursed his lips: "Don't you like it?"
Although Feng Jiayan's tone was calm, Tao Tao always felt that he seemed a little lost.
Tao Tao hesitated for a moment: "The video Jia Jia watched is amazing. I just... want to watch some other videos."
Hearing this answer, Feng Jiayan did not force it and handed the phone to Tao Tao.
Tao Tao swiped casually a few times, and suddenly a video popped up.
In the video, the actor tasted the meal cooked by the actress and suddenly looked up and said, "It's so delicious. I really want to eat the meal you cook every day in the future."
The actress smiled and said, "Then why don't you say that?"
The two looked at each other, and suddenly a bunch of pink bubbles appeared in the air.
The actor smiled happily and said, "Can I marry you?"
Tao Tao's eyes widened, an expression of sudden enlightenment appearing.
The system that detected Tao Tao's thoughts: [……]
Wait a minute! Hey kid, what amazing thing have you realized?
***
The table was filled with three dishes——
Pickled cabbage, black fish and tofu pot, braised spare ribs, and spicy and sour potato shreds.
"Come and try my cooking." Gong Rao sat at the dining table with a smile. Su Jin had become much more well-behaved since he came out of the kitchen.
Tao Tao couldn't wait to pick up the chopsticks and picked up a piece of braised pork ribs. The moment she took a bite, her eyes widened.
The ribs are cooked very soft and the meat can be easily removed from the bones with a light bite. Every bit of the rib meat is soaked in the rich and oily meaty aroma. While your lips are stained with red oil, your teeth are also filled with an indescribable sense of happiness.
Tao Tao took a bite of spicy and sour potato shreds and a bite of braised pork ribs. She ate for several bites without stopping.
In the sauerkraut, black fish and tofu pot, the tender tofu, the smooth and firm black fish slices, and the sour, spicy and rich soup base left Tao Tao no time to raise her head and speak.
It was not until she finished a bowl of rice and some vegetables that Tao Tao calmed down a little.
Thinking of the short video clip she had just seen, Tao Tao raised her head and looked at Gong Rao expectantly: "Sister Gong Rao, can Tao Tao marry you?"
"Poof--" Su Jin, who was sitting next to him, couldn't help but spit out a mouthful of soup.
