I have ten trillion licking dog gold

Here's an old CD
Listen to our love back then…

In a flat pan.

The fried egg sizzled and steamed.

Mr. Jiang held a spatula in one hand and a pot handle in the other, looking refreshed and humming a song with great enthusiasm.

That's right.

He stayed last night.

It was hard to refuse such hospitality.

Since the homeowner has extended the invitation with such sincerity, how could a considerate gentleman refuse?

In Japan, it was inconvenient because of the watchful eyes on the walls, but after returning home, I no longer had these concerns.

of course.

He believed.

Pei Yunxi kept him here not because of favorable timing, location, or circumstances, but because—

Yes.

It's because of love.

Because love doesn't easily bring sorrow.

Therefore, everything appears to be a picture of happiness.
Because love grows simply
I can still go crazy for you anytime...

Mr. Jiang flipped the wok, and the fried egg successfully completed its flip in the air. Although he hadn't cooked for a long time, he still mastered this little trick with ease.

Pei Yunxi was still asleep. She was exhausted last night and probably closed her eyes after midnight, so she didn't even notice when he removed her arm and quietly got up.

If someone had secretly taken a picture with their phone and posted it online, from that angle, it would have caused a much bigger sensation than that baby photo.

After serving the fried eggs, Boss Jiang tore open a steak and put it in the pan. What is a good man? This is a good man. Not only did he not leave without saying goodbye, but he also made a loving breakfast.

"Zizi-"

The steak was almost cooked to medium-rare, and just as Mr. Jiang was about to turn off the stove and go upstairs to wake up Sleeping Beauty, he suddenly heard footsteps.

That's right.

Footsteps.

He thought Pei Yunxi had woken up, and turned his head with a smile, about to speak, but the cartoon face that came into view made his smile freeze instantly, and his throat felt like it was stuffed with cloth, unable to make a sound.

He was surprised, and the other party was even more surprised.

"Senior?"

Besides Pei Yunxi, who else could enter this mansion without anyone noticing?

The person staring at the temporary Chef Jiang was none other than Luo Li'er, who had spent the night away from home last night.

Didn't this girl go out having fun with her colleagues last night?
Why are you back so early?
Chef Jiang was stunned, and Luo Li'er was even more stunned. A grown man suddenly appeared in the house and was even making breakfast in the kitchen. Anyone would be dumbfounded.

Fortunately, amidst the misfortune...

Mr. Jiang is well-mannered; he habitually puts on his clothes before leaving the bedroom, and doesn't immediately expose his underwear because of the temperature control system, otherwise it would have been even more embarrassing.

"Hehe, hehehe..."

really.

When people are at a loss, they really do smile like an idiot.

What are you laughing at!

Logically, Luo Li'er should have returned home in the afternoon or evening. Coming to her senses, she opened her large, bright black eyes and, unsurprisingly, questioned, "What are you doing here?"

Mr. Jiang's mind was racing.

Just give up?

Certainly not.

Even if this girl had already formed her own opinion, was she supposed to say that she had just gotten out of her sister's bed?

Boss Jiang isn't entirely shameless.

"I'm making breakfast."

Luo Li'er ignored her, her eyes sharpening further. She spoke each word with a menacing sneer, her cherry-red lips pursed, "I'm asking you, why are you here?"

"I'll make breakfast for your sister."

They continued staring at each other.

It was like a silent standoff.

Until the burnt smell dissipated.

Your breakfast is burnt.

Luo Li'er reminded her with a stern face.

Jiang Chen quickly turned off the stove.

Where's my sister?

It wasn't the first time they'd dealt with each other, and Luo Li'er knew the other person's character well, so she changed her approach.

She returned so early out of respect for her cousin, who was understanding and reasonable, and she wanted to reciprocate by putting her cousin's mind at ease.

Who knew?

What a huge "surprise"!

Leaving aside Boss Jiang, Luo Li'er's heart was in turmoil at this moment.

Speculating is one thing, but finally seeing it for yourself is another.

"Upstairs."

Even without any contingency plan and with no solutions in mind, at least Boss Jiang managed to maintain his composure and didn't show any fear on his face.

What is she doing upstairs?

The seemingly simple question left Boss Jiang at a loss, unable to utter a word. "Hmm?"

Luo Li'er stared intently, like a judge who wouldn't tolerate any flaws. "Why aren't you saying anything? Have you encountered a difficult question?"

"You should go to the toilet."

In a moment of quick thinking, Mr. Jiang simultaneously reached into his pocket with his right hand without leaving a trace, only to find it empty. He then realized that his phone was in his left pocket, so he switched hands.

In this situation, the only way to save oneself is to secretly call Pei Yunxi, wake her up, and let her hear what is happening downstairs.

In movies, undercover agents and traitors often use this method to tip off others.

Someone's choice was very clever; it was the only way to break the deadlock at the moment. Otherwise, whether he admitted it or not, as long as Luo Li'er went upstairs and found that her sister was still sleeping, everything would be completely ruined. The master was still sleeping, but you were in the kitchen. You can't exactly say that you climbed in through the window, can you?
If the call goes through and successfully wakes Pei Yunxi, allowing her to hear Luo Li'er's voice, given Pei Yunxi's intelligence and the two's tacit understanding, it wouldn't be difficult to get through this unexpected situation without needing to rehearse. But as I said before...

It's a movie, for crying out loud.

"what are you doing?"

If you can't find it with your right hand, you switch to your left. Do you think people are blind?

"Want to call my sister?"

Look.

This girl is nowhere near as naive as Xu Siyi!

Before Boss Jiang could even try to argue, Luo Li'er opened her bag, took out her phone, and said, "I'll call her."

Before dialing, she paused, then put her index finger to her lips and said, "Shh, don't talk."

"..."

Boss Jiang's face was expressionless.

After reminding someone, Luo Li'er calmly dialed her cousin's number, even though going upstairs could have saved her the phone bill.

Ok.

Police officers also take similar actions when dealing with criminals, directly presenting irrefutable evidence to the criminal's face, which can break through the criminal's psychological defenses to the greatest extent and is also a form of psychological punishment.

It rang for about ten seconds.

The call was successfully connected.

"Hey."

Shrimp and pork heart.

It's absolutely delicious—shrimp and pork heart!
This girl even turned on speakerphone!
"Sis, are you home?"

The tone on the other end was very clear; there was no trace of the weariness from staying up all night, nor the languor of being woken up.

He truly deserves to be called a top-tier actor.

After seeing the caller ID and pressing the answer button, the status adjustment was completed in about ten seconds.

"Yes. What's wrong?"

Luo Li'er held her phone out with her palm flat, looking at Boss Jiang, whose expression was gloomy. "I'll be home soon. I brought you breakfast."

"You're back? So early?"

Look.

So what if you have great acting skills?

I was still surprised.

It's almost ten o'clock.

Luo Li'er has a sweet smile, like a fairytale princess straight out of a book, but in someone else's eyes, she's a dark witch living in a Gothic castle.
"I'll be there in about ten minutes."

"Ah."

"See you later."

The call was disconnected.

Luo Li'er held her phone in her palm with her five fingers together. "Senior, is there anything you want to say?"

Someone looked utterly dejected; this is probably what it means to be heartbroken.

"Deng deng deng-"

They couldn't even get him to speak.

From the stairs came impatient shouts, followed by the sound of people coming downstairs.

"Li'er is coming back..."

Mr. Jiang's expression was stiff, and his eyes twitched slightly.

Luo Li'er turned her head and looked towards the stairs.

Pei Yunxi, hailed as the Venus of the East, was so rushed that she only put on a bathrobe that reached her thighs. Her shapely and elegant legs were exposed to the air without any cover. Her hair was disheveled, and she didn't even bother to put on slippers, leaving her bare feet.

"Sister~"

Luo Li'er smiled slightly, the corners of her mouth turning up.

All right.

See you later.

From Mr. Jiang's position, he couldn't see the staircase, but he could hear all the noise disappear.

Time seemed to stand still. Pei Yunxi, flustered and confused, narrowed her eyes and froze on the stairs as she looked at her younger sister waving to her from downstairs.

What is a top-tier beauty?

Even when she's at her most "messy" right after waking up, she's still incredibly beautiful.

Especially noticeable is the "strawberry" mark on the front of her neck, near her collarbone, which her hair couldn't cover.

啧。

So innocent yet so alluring. (End of Chapter)
