The European Emperor’s character remains standing

Chapter 207 Daily Life 3: The Most Feared Thing is Sudden, Deadly Concern
Summer weather is unpredictable; what should have been a sunny day turned into a continuous rainy one, which ruined Lu Zai and Scottish Fold's shopping plans.

An Zhe'er looked at Lin Shilu with expectant eyes and said coquettishly, "Little deer."

Lin Shilu sighed and handed her the snacks as she spoke, "Don't look at me like that, I'm not omnipotent either. With this heavy rain, we can only stay at home."

A sound came from the entrance hall. The two looked up and saw that Qiye was soaked to the bone, dripping with water from head to toe. Behind him, Sanhua slowly put away her full set of rain gear, looking clean and refreshed without a drop of water, which was in stark contrast to Qiye.

Qiye wiped her face. "I don't know why, but I feel not only cold in my body, but also in my heart, as if a cold wind is howling."

"I already told you to go out without an umbrella, it's going to rain," Sanhua said casually. Hearing his brother's words, Qiye felt even colder. He turned and walked towards his room, intending to take a hot shower to dispel the chill in his heart.

As for clothes, I'll just wear my brother's. Being a germaphobe isn't a big deal; it's not my problem, we're brothers, it's not going to kill me.

Hua Hua was completely unaware that she was about to suffer a terrible fate. When she saw food, she quickly went over and snatched the snacks from the hands of the Scottish Fold and the fawn with her mouth, exclaiming about the taste of snatching food from the tiger's mouth: "So delicious."

Seeing the potato chips disappear, Folded Ear's eyes widened. "Give them back to me! Give them back to me! That was the first chip I wanted to feed to the fawn." She reached out to pounce, but was dodged. The fawn reacted quickly and caught Folded Ear to prevent her from falling backward.

"I've already eaten it, you can't expect me to throw it up, can you? How about I just give you three packs of the same product as compensation?"

Anmao pounced on Sanhua, saying, "Mine is a limited edition flavor; I only managed to snag one pack."

“I have 10 packs of the latest limited edition, each with a different flavor. They’re in the box in my room. I just got them recently.” Hua Hua pointed to the guest room he was staying in at Lu Zai’s house.

She disappeared in the blink of an eye. When she reappeared, she was holding a bunch of things she had been trying to grab for a long time but failed. She carefully placed them on the coffee table, then hugged Hua Hua's waist and said ingratiatingly, "Boss, do you need a leg accessory? I'm very easy to take care of. Just feed me a bag of limited edition potato chips, and I'll be your best lackey."

Hu Sanhua sat down on the sofa, cleared her throat, and struck a pose: "Then give me a leg massage." The secret pleasure she felt was far beyond what could be explained in a few words.

"Okay, is this too much force or too little?"

"Pfft!" Siyuan, who came out of the kitchen, saw Zhe'er fawning over Huahua by massaging her legs. She spat out the tea she had just drunk. She put down the teacup, had Lu Zai pinch her, and after confirming that it was real, she said incredulously, "Sister, what's wrong with you? Are you possessed by a ghost? Do you need an exorcism?"

“Your sister is fine, it’s just that…” Lu Zai pointed to the pile of potato chips, “she was too greedy and had her eyes on the potato chips. Hua Hua said that if she helped him with his chores, she would feed him potato chips.”

Upon hearing this, Siyuan immediately slid down to his knees in front of Huahua. "Boss, do you need a leg accessory? I'm very easy to take care of. Just feed me a bag of limited edition potato chips, and I'll be your best lackey, always at your beck and call. Just let me know if you need anything."

The swallows return as if from a past life; the scenes that unfold are always strikingly similar.

“I don’t need anything for now. Ask your sister Lu. If you take good care of her, I’ll still pay you your salary.” He pointed to the potato chips on the table.

Seeing that Siyuan was about to come over, Lin Shilu jumped up and said, "No! I don't need anything. You guys have fun, no, you guys chat."

"Huh?" Sister You, who had just returned from grocery shopping, looked at the scene in front of her with a puzzled expression, thinking: Could it be that my eyes are playing tricks on me?

"Just in time, Sister You is here. I'll go help her wash the vegetables," Lin Shilu quickly grabbed the vegetable basket from Sister You's hands and put it into his arms, trying to avoid her.

"You don't need to rest, I'll go cook." Zhu Qingyou tried to take the dishes back. It had only been a short while since she ate the food that Lu Zai and the others had made, and she absolutely couldn't repeat that mistake this time.

The deer blinked. "I'll go with you. I'm just worried you'll be too tired."

Sister You refused: "But it's not hard for me. For me, the process of cooking and the happy expressions of the diners are a great stress reliever, and it gives me a great sense of accomplishment." She wants to refuse any danger and prevent kitchen accidents caused by kitchen killers entering the kitchen.

"How about we let Siyuan come?" Huahua suggested. He didn't want Luzai to have any chance to enter the kitchen either; just thinking about that possibility made his stomach ache.

"Yes, yes, let me do it!" Siyuan pecked at the rice like a chick.

Qingyou felt utterly bewildered. "I'll do it. Isn't it my turn to cook today?"

The situation is absolutely chaotic.

At that moment, Sanhua saw Qiye walking out wearing her clothes.

"Hu Qiye!" Hua Hua said through gritted teeth, "Don't you have your own clothes?"

Qiye dried her hair with a towel and walked out of the downstairs bathroom, saying as she went, "My clothes are at home, I forgot to bring them here for now. You can't expect me to go back in this heavy rain to get them, can you? I finally managed to take a shower."

"Do you have anything to drink? I'd like a sip."

The fawn said, "There's ginger soup, but no herbal tea."

"You've all been caught in the rain, have a bowl of ginger soup to warm you up." Zhe Er said and started making it.

She swiftly entered the kitchen, grabbed a large piece of ginger, and then quickly chopped it into chunks without peeling it. She then added a lethal amount of brown sugar, poured in hot water, and made a warming brown sugar ginger tea—all done!

Holding the bowl, she said considerately, "Drink it while it's hot, and be sure to eat the ginger." With a confident look on her face, she believed that after drinking this bowl of ginger soup, she would definitely not have any chance of catching a cold.

Looking at the unevenly sized pieces of ginger in the bowl, the brown sugar that hadn't dissolved yet due to the excessive amount added, and the boiling water that was almost steaming...

Keep in mind that it's summer now, so the water must have just been boiled recently.

He instinctively swallowed, but was misunderstood as...

"I knew you'd like it; look how eager you are to get started."

In the end, Sister You couldn't stand it anymore and rescued him. No one else dared to speak up, for fear of being dragged into the mess.

She took the bowl. "I'll make brown sugar ginger tea to warm you up. You all go sit quietly on the sofa and don't cause any trouble. Put the dishes here first, and I'll start cooking once everyone else is here." Her words exuded authority.

Qi Ye gave Sister You a grateful look; if it weren't for her, she might have lost her life over this bowl of brown sugar ginger tea.

Afterwards, the teachers sat on the sofa, turned on the TV, and started eating snacks.

"Speaking of which, should we leave a few bags of potato chips for Shao Shao and Qing Xuan?" Lu Zai suggested, watching the popular drama and thinking of the two who had been forgotten.

An'an agreed, "Then let's not eat it for now, I'm afraid I won't be able to resist."

"Just eat it," Hua Hua said casually. "Qi Ye also has ten packs of the same thing."

Having just narrowly escaped death, Qiye wholeheartedly agreed, "I have no objection!" All she had to do was let him suddenly remember the bowl of ginger tea from earlier.

"I love you all." Folded Ear was so excited that she gave everyone present a hug. "Next time you want to eat something, just tell me, it'll be on me. I'm not short of money. It's just that I'm sometimes unlucky, and I can never get what I want. But it's okay, I have you all, my lucky stars!"

"Love you all." Folded earrings made a big heart shape with both hands.

When the last two arrived, the scene was harmonious.

"This drama is really exciting and very suspenseful, so when will the misunderstanding be cleared up? I feel like I can't wait any longer," Siyuan sighed.

"The next episode should be fine." Lu Zai's premonitions are always very accurate, and sure enough, the misunderstanding was cleared up at the beginning of the next episode, which was very satisfying to watch.

Sister You came out carrying a pot of ginger soup and black tea. Seeing the two of them arrive, she casually said, "You've come?"

The two replied instantly: "Coming."

"Come drink some brown sugar ginger tea to ward off the cold. Even in summer, we can't let our guard down."

Urged on by Sister You, everyone picked up their bowls. An Zhe'er frowned, then drank the spicy brown sugar ginger soup in one gulp and asked, "Did you use the bowl I made before?"

"Yes, it's the bowl you made before." She admitted that the ingredients were the same ones that were made entirely by hand before.

"Cough cough cough!" Qi Ye thought she had dodged the bowl of deadly brown sugar water, but the boomerang still pierced her body, and she choked because she was not careful.

Overwhelmed with shock, Si Yuan spat out a mouthful of air, "Pfft."

Hua Hua, disregarding her manners, put down her bowl and ducked under the table, narrowly escaping the attack. However, the two people facing Si Yuan were not so lucky and were sprayed directly in the face.

Qingxuan believed in his sister's skill and could bring the dead back to life. Even when he heard that the ingredients were from the kitchen killer, he remained calm and drank the tea in one gulp. As a result, the bottom of the bowl blocked a lot of the tea, and only his hair and hands were covered with sticky liquid.

She drank it quickly, and felt a lump in her throat as soon as she drank it. In addition, there were traces of the mouthpiece left on her face.

The fawn came to the rescue: "Go wash your face."

Shao Shao and Qing Xuan ran towards the washroom at the same time.

Siyuan vs. Shaoshao, Qingxuan, and Sanhua: A complete victory!

The deer cub and the folded earring sat together unaffected by Si Yuan's spittle. She picked up the bowl and filled it again, and the satellite entered the room, but there was still a sweet feeling.

Folded Ear asked curiously, "Sister You, how did you do that?"

"The ginger you took was already washed and stored in the refrigerator. It wasn't that difficult; you just juiced it all and added plenty of water," she explained casually, not mentioning a single word about the hardships involved in the rescue process.

Folded Ear regained confidence in her cooking skills, and it didn't seem too bad. She shouted, "I hereby announce that from now on, I will be in charge of making everyone's brown sugar ginger tea. I will make it myself! This is to show my respect and care for you all."

The group of people who had just come out of the washroom heard these words and quickly tried to dissuade them.

Siyuan was a little incoherent: "No, no, sir, you can just sit down. We don't need you to worry about such a small matter."

"Absolutely, absolutely!" The others chimed in like chickens pecking at rice.

What they fear most right now is the sudden concern from their friends, which they are truly unable to accept, and for some reason, they all have a bad feeling lingering in their hearts.

Sister You cleared her throat twice. "By the way, lunch might be delayed a bit. There's still half a pot of brown sugar ginger tea in the kitchen. I'll go find a recipe to see if there's any way to perfectly blend it into the dishes, otherwise this will be the only option."

"I put in a bit too much sugar, so I had to add more water. And then... you can all go and see for yourselves. I'm going upstairs to find the recipe. If you have any good ideas, you can handle it yourselves, but don't waste it."

The group then went to the kitchen and saw what was supposed to be half a pot of ginger tea. It wasn't half a pot; it was full.

The thought of the raw materials cast a shadow over the group, especially when Siyuan inadvertently glanced at the processed waste in the kitchen trash can and pointed at it speechlessly.

Okay, it seems that it wasn't just about adding water as Sister You mentioned at all, but rather an exceptionally tragic rescue operation.

The thought in their hearts was reaffirmed:

We absolutely cannot let those two kitchen killers into the kitchen, and we certainly can't let them cook nutritious meals, for our own lives!

Sudden concern from a friend can be terrifying, especially a meal made from a black hole. It can make you lose your appetite for at least three days, because once you've tasted it, you'll never remember how delicious human food is again.
