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

Qin Yao looked at Zhou Yuyang's back, still holding the bouquet of roses in her hand, feeling mixed emotions.

It's not that she didn't see Xu Xiaoli's gaze just now, it's just...

She is usually free and easy in front of others, but at this moment she is a little at a loss.

Xu Xiaoli quietly approached Qin Yao, gently bumped her shoulder, and whispered jokingly:

"What a big bouquet of roses! Senior Yuyang is so thoughtful."

Qin Yao's face turned even redder, and she became even more at a loss.

Of course she knew he had feelings for her.

At this time, Zhong Jiaqi came out of the kitchen and said to Qin Yao,

"Yaoyao, put the flowers on the table first. Remember to take them away when you leave."

"it is good."

Zhou Yuyang came back after washing his hands and saw Qin Yao putting flowers on the table. It seemed that she liked them very much.

His gaze lingered on her for a moment before he turned and walked to Chen Chen.

"What are you going to cook today?"

Zhou Yuyang asked.

Chen Chen pointed to the chopped ingredients on the side.

"We have fish and meat, everything everyone likes to eat. Let's see what you are good at and divide the work."

Zhou Yuyang looked at the ingredients and said with a smile, "Then I'll make my signature sweet and sour pork ribs. I wonder if it suits everyone's taste."

"Okay, I'm making some soup here, and I'll also be steaming some fish later."

As Chen Chen spoke, he added some seasoning to the soup.

For a moment, the kitchen was bustling with activity, everyone was doing their job and laughing.

After Qin Yao fiddled with the flowers for a while, she returned to the kitchen.

Occasionally she would make eye contact with Zhou Yuyang, then quickly look away, her cheeks always slightly flushed.

Chen Chen noticed that Zhou Yuyang's cooking skills in the kitchen were quite good, and his movements were skillful and confident.

At this time, Qin Yao had also returned to the kitchen. Chen Chen understood what she meant and quietly retreated, intending to leave this rare space to the two lovers.

As soon as Chen Chen walked out of the kitchen, Lin Muxi came up to him and asked softly, "Senior, is it ready so soon?"

Chen Chen smiled and raised his hand, gently placed it on his lips, made a "hush" gesture, and whispered:
"Let them talk alone, and don't disturb them."

Lin Muxi nodded slightly, instantly understanding what Chen Chen meant, with a smile flashing in his eyes.

Lin Muxi and Chen Chen walked to the sofa in the living room and sat down, whispering:

"It seems like things are going well between Senior Yuyang and Yaoyao."

Chen Chen smiled and responded:
"There's no major problem between the two of them. It's mainly due to the pressure from Qin Yao's family. As long as it's resolved, everything will be fine."

At this time, Zhou Yuyang was concentrating on stir-frying sweet and sour pork ribs in the kitchen. Out of the corner of his eye, he saw Qin Yao staring at the pot.

After hesitating for a moment, he said, "Yaoyao, do you like today's flowers?"

Qin Yao paused for a moment and replied softly, "Hmm...it looks pretty good."

After saying that, he quickly lowered his head, no longer looking at the pot, but staring at his hands in a daze.

My heartbeat involuntarily quickened a bit.

"I spent a long time choosing and I think this bouquet of flowers suits you very well."

Qin Yao's face turned even redder, and she muttered softly, "You only know how to say nice things."

Although I said this, my heart felt as sweet as honey.

Zhou Yuyang wanted to ask her several times why she called to say that she had a new boyfriend.

However, since there were no strange men here and she had accepted the flowers he had given her, he hesitated for a long time and didn't ask.

Because he was afraid that once he asked, the relationship between the two of them, which had just eased a little, would collapse again.

On the other side in the living room, Lin Muxi tilted his head and asked Chen Chen:

"Senior, do you think they can solve the problem?"

Chen Chen thought for a moment and said, "I think he can. Considering Yuyang's feelings for Qin Yao, he will definitely take the initiative if he has the chance."

Lin Muxi covered her mouth and chuckled: "If their problem is solved, we should celebrate it properly."

Chen Chen nodded in agreement: "That's for sure."

In the kitchen, the sweet and sour spareribs were ready. Zhou Yuyang took out the ribs and walked to Qin Yao: "Try the sweet and sour spareribs I made and see if they suit your taste."

As he said that, he picked up a piece of pork ribs with chopsticks and brought it to Qin Yao's mouth.

This was the first time someone fed her like this, and Qin Yao stood there in a daze for a moment.

It wasn't until Zhou Yuyang asked again that Qin Yao finally reacted. She took a bite with her chopsticks and her eyes widened slightly: "It's delicious!"

Zhou Yuyang smiled, his eyes full of tenderness: "As long as you like it."

Their eyes met again. This time, Qin Yao did not look away immediately. Instead, she looked at him for a few seconds with a blushing face. The atmosphere in the kitchen became more warm and sweet.

Xu Xiaoli looked at the scene in the kitchen, turned back and gently waved at Chen Chen and the others, her tone carrying a hint of teasing and affirmation:
"Well, I think we should stop worrying about it. They look like they've made up."

In the kitchen, after a busy period, several dishes were finally completed.

Zhou Yuyang and Qin Yao brought the prepared dishes to the table together, and Xu Xiaoli and Zhong Jiaqi also helped to set the tableware.

Chen Chen came to the dining table and suddenly remembered something. He asked:

"Hey, why aren't Zihan and Jiangtao here?"

Zhou Yuyang said: "They said that they were two single people and would not join in the fun."

Xu Xiaoli retorted, "You can't say that. Jiaqi and I are also single."

Chen Chen slapped his forehead.

"It's my fault, it's my fault. I should tell them in the group chat that you two are here too. That way, they will definitely come over."

Everyone sat around the dining table, looking at the delicious dishes and praising them one after another.

Chen Chen smiled and said, "We are so lucky to have this meal today. Yu Yang and Qin Yao have made great contributions."

Qin Yao heard this and said stiffly:

"I just... wanted to see if there was nothing else I could do besides eating."

Lin Muxi called out, "Come on, everyone, eat it while it's hot."

Zhong Jiaqi couldn't wait to pick up the chopsticks, picked up a piece of tempting sweet and sour pork ribs, put it in her mouth and chewed it carefully. Her eyes lit up instantly and she praised:
"Wow, this tastes amazing! Senior Yuyang, it would be a shame if you didn't become a chef with your cooking skills."

Xu Xiaoli smiled smugly, "Someone will be in for a treat in the future."

Chen Chen also joined the topic with a smile:

“Anyway, I’m really happy to have such a rich and delicious meal today.

Come on, come on, everyone, stop talking and start eating, or the food will get cold."

Everyone responded, and for a moment, the sounds of tableware colliding and laughter were intertwined.

Eat and drink enough.

The girls cleared the dishes.

Chen Chen and Zhou Yuyang sat on the sofa.

Chen Chen boiled a pot of hot water, took out tea leaves from the cupboard, and began to brew tea leisurely. (End of this chapter)
