Going home for the New Year during the winter break, I encountered a cool school girl on the high-sp

"Is this how Senior Chen Chen and Mu Xi usually get along? It feels really good~"

Zhong Jiaqi also echoed from the side, her tone full of curiosity and yearning.

The two girls seemed to be looking forward to having such a wonderful way of getting along with each other.

The negative mentality that I had just received from Qin Yao dissipated a lot at this moment.

Seeing how harmoniously Chen Chen and Lin Muxi got along, Qin Yao felt a little shaken.
"Or... I'll call Yuyang over as well."

After all, we have just discussed the solutions to the current problems.

So Qin Yao naturally thought of taking the initiative to call Zhou Yuyang and ask him to come over so that they could discuss the matter in depth again.

Most importantly, she wanted to see him.

That's exactly what Chen Chen meant.

But Qin Yao didn't say anything, so he didn't want to speak first.

"That's possible. Call him and ask him to come over."

Qin Yao responded, then picked up her phone and dialed Zhou Yuyang's number.

After a while, the phone was connected, and Zhou Yuyang's incredible and anxious voice came:
"Yaoyao! Where are you? I'll come find you right away."

Qin Yao pursed her lips lightly and said:

"I'm in Xiaoxi now, and Senior Chen Chen is about to cook. Why don't you come over and eat with us? It's perfect, I have something to discuss with you."

At this time, Chen Chen's loud voice came from the kitchen, clearly transmitted into the phone and also reached Zhou Yuyang's ears:

"By the way, let him call Zi Han and Jiang Tao."

After hearing this, Zhou Yuyang quickly said, "Okay, I'll go with them right away."

Qin Yao nodded slightly, "Yeah."

After hanging up the phone, Xu Xiaoli and Zhong Jiaqi were walking towards the kitchen: "Let's come and help too."

Qin Yao thought for a moment and said, "I'll come too."

When a beautiful woman offered to help, Chen Chen certainly wouldn't refuse.

He smiled and said:

"I think I bought some extra aprons last time. They're in the cabinet over there. Go get them and put them on."

"it is good."

The three beauties quickly put on aprons.

Fortunately, Lin Muxi’s kitchen is big enough, otherwise, so many people wouldn’t be able to squeeze in.

Everyone was busy preparing food in the kitchen. Some were washing vegetables, some were cutting vegetables, some were handing tools, and they occasionally exchanged a few words with each other. It must be said, it felt really good to prepare food together.

Chen Chen looked at the neatly arranged and prepared dishes in front of him, and couldn't help but gently stretch his aching shoulders, a relaxed smile appearing on his face:

"They say there's strength in numbers, and it's absolutely true. Normally, it would take Xiaoxi and I at least half an hour to prepare so many dishes, but today, we finished everything in less than ten minutes."

Xu Xiaoli raised her chin, looked confident, and said with a smile:

"Of course. Don't you see who we are?"

Zhong Jiaqi nodded vigorously and agreed hurriedly:

"That's right! Now we're just waiting for Senior Chen Chen to show off his cooking skills and let us feast on his food."

As he spoke, his eyes were full of anticipation.

At this time, Lin Muxi stood quietly beside Chen Chen with a focused expression.

Like a well-trained professional assistant, he is always ready to provide Chen Chen with the necessary tools and ingredients.

Qin Yao looked down at the apron she was wearing, and only then did she realize that this apron was very different from her usual personality.

She couldn't help but wonder why she had come to the kitchen to join in the fun without knowing why. For a moment, her eyes showed a bit of confusion and annoyance.

Just then, a crisp bell suddenly rang outside the door.

"Senior Yuyang should be here, Yaoyao, go open the door."

Xu Xiaoli quickly reminded.

Qin Yao was slightly stunned when she heard this, and seemed a little hesitant. After hesitating for a while, she walked out of the kitchen.

When she arrived at the door, she stopped and took a deep breath, as if to muster up courage. Then she slowly reached out and gently turned the doorknob.

After the door opened, Zhou Yuyang, who was standing outside, saw Qin Yao wearing an apron.

Zhou Yuyang was slightly startled, and a subtle surprise flashed in his eyes: "Yaoyao, you look really beautiful dressed like this."

As soon as he said this, he instantly realized that he seemed to have said something out of turn, and his heart skipped a beat.

He hurriedly looked at Qin Yao's expression, only to see that Qin Yao's face suddenly turned red, and the blush quickly spread to her ears.

She took off her apron in a panic and stammered:

"I was just helping out in the kitchen... I came straight here when I heard the doorbell, and didn't pay any attention to these things."

Zhou Yuyang scratched his head embarrassedly like a young boy.

Qin Yao seemed to be eager to clear herself of something and hurriedly explained:
"I didn't cook just for you. Xiaoli and the others are here, and everyone is helping in the kitchen."

That look seemed as if he was trying hard to prove something.

Zhou Yuyang put his hands behind his back, nodded obediently like a well-behaved student, and then asked cautiously:
"Can I... come in?"

Qin Yao slightly turned sideways to make room for herself.

Zhou Yuyang, who was granted "pardon", did not step in immediately.

Instead, she shyly took out a bunch of gorgeous red roses from behind her, handed them to Qin Yao with both hands, and said gently:
"this is for you."

Qin Yao looked at the bouquet of fragrant roses in front of her with some surprise. The elegant fragrance of the flowers lingered at the tip of her nose, and a complex and inexplicable emotion involuntarily surged in her heart.

She lowered her head slightly and said softly, "Thank you..."

Perhaps she really didn't know what to say, so she quickly changed the subject and said:

"Come in, everyone is busy in the kitchen."

The two walked towards the kitchen side by side.

As soon as Zhou Yuyang stepped into the kitchen, he heard a cheerful and warm greeting:
"Senior Yuyang, you're finally here!"

Chen Chen was busy standing by the stove. When he heard the sound, he turned around with a smile and said enthusiastically:

"How about it? Do you want to show us your cooking skills today?"

"Senior Yuyang can also cook?"

Xu Xiaoli turned her gaze to Zhou Yuyang, seemingly asking a question, but the corner of her eye was looking at Qin Yao intentionally or unintentionally, with a subtle hint of meaning in her eyes.

Zhou Yuyang smiled and nodded, "I know a little bit, but it's not as good as a professional."

As he spoke, he cast his gaze towards the pot of water boiling on the stove, with steam rising from it.

"That's perfect. There are a lot of people here today, so let's show off our skills and make a sumptuous meal for everyone."

As Chen Chen spoke, he skillfully threw a handful of green vegetables into the pot, and the emerald green leaves instantly tumbled in the boiling water.

Zhou Yuyang responded and rolled up his sleeves.

"I'll go wash my hands and see if I can help."

After saying this, he walked towards the kitchen sink. (End of this chapter)
