Great, it's a scalper, we're saved!

Xiong Jiajia counted on her fingers as she recalled and spoke, while Zheng Fan's head creased with more and more black lines as he listened.

Ok.

Nourishing.

Very nourishing.

How could this be simply summarized by the word "nourishment"?

Zheng Fan felt that if he had been eating this stuff for the past few days, he would definitely be able to resist kneading the little yellow duck's head right now.

Moreover, these ingredients not only have kidney-tonifying properties, but also ingredients that promote lactation.

The owner of this vegetable shop has terrible eyesight. Why would someone need to increase their milk production just because of this "hyperthyroidism little yellow duck"?

"Didn't you eat any of this stuff you made yourself?"

Zheng Fan asked.

These ingredients are quite troublesome to prepare, and only someone with several years of culinary experience can cook them well.

More importantly, even if it tastes really good, no one can stand eating it every day.

Even if Xiong Jiajia is a girl, she should still feel something strange after eating it, right?

"I ate it, and... well, it wasn't exactly delicious, but it wasn't bad either!"

"Didn't you feel anything after eating it?"

"Feel?"

Xiong Jiajia frowned, looked up and thought for a moment, then cautiously and tentatively began to speak.

"I feel so energetic after eating?"

……

"I'm bursting with energy! Hahahahahahahaha!!"

"It would be strange if it weren't energetic!"

"If the Desolate Heavenly Emperor had drunk a bowl of this stuff when he was a child, he would have instantly reached the peak of the Blood Realm!"

"What does this guy upstairs, 'AAA Supreme Bone Wholesaler Hao Ge,' mean? What is the Desolate Heavenly Emperor?"

"Is this girl trying to create a stir? What kind of ingredients did she buy???"

"No wonder people don't want to eat this! Who could possibly eat this? It's some kind of 'male-tonifying stew'?!"

"I don't know if the streamer is a black-hearted scalper, but the owner of the vegetable shop at the entrance of this community is definitely not a good person."

"I've lived half my life and never imagined that green onions and chives could be cooked together in porridge."

"Holy crap, if a grown man finished eating this, even the dogs passing by would tuck their tails between their legs!"

"If I ate this stuff for several days in a row, I'd be willing to compare myself to rebar."

"After we finish eating this stuff, we need to hurry and inform Archimedes that we've found the lever that can move the Earth!"

"..."

The viewers in the live stream couldn't hold back any longer.

Even though everyone knew Xiong Jiajia was a bad cook, no one expected that these ingredients would be even more unbearable.

In an instant, countless laughing and joking comments scrolled wildly in the live stream room.

The live stream's popularity soared to over three million!

……

"What's wrong?"

Looking at the silent Zheng Fan, Xiong Jiajia asked.

She wasn't stupid; she could sense from Zheng Fan's eyes that there seemed to be something wrong with the ingredients she had bought.

And it seems to be a problem even more terrifying than bad cooking?

Xiong Jiajia couldn't help but shiver.

Could it be some kind of food incompatibility?!

"It's nothing, just don't let the boss recommend dishes in the future."

Zheng Fan took a deep breath, changed the subject, and said solemnly.

Judging from Xiong Jiajia's shameful behavior just now, Zheng Fan had no doubt that if the issue with the ingredients were brought up now, Xiong Jiajia would most likely faint from shame.

"Then...what will we eat from now on?"

"If he likes chicken so much, then let him eat chicken," Zheng Fan shrugged.

Upon hearing this, Xiong Jiajia nodded thoughtfully, and then took her little cousin to the bathroom to wash his hands.

After returning from the bathroom, Xiong Jiajia calmed down considerably, and a huge weight was finally lifted from her heart.

Although the process was incredibly embarrassing, thankfully the problem with my little cousin was finally resolved.

"Thanks!"

Upon seeing Zheng Fan again, Xiong Jiajia blushed slightly and spoke solemnly.

She knew very well that if it weren't for Zheng Fan, even if she went to the hospital, it would be difficult to find out her little cousin's condition in a short time.

After all, the reason for this anorexia is too outrageous.

Moreover, I had previously mistakenly thought that the other person was showing off, which led me to give them a sour look many times.

From both a moral and logical standpoint, even if one doesn't apologize, one should at least say thank you.

Zheng Fan smiled slightly; he hadn't taken the matter to heart at all.

After asking for a positive review, Zheng Fan got up and walked towards the door.

This order was successfully completed!

Watching Zheng Fan's swift departure, Xiong Jiajia was still a little shy, but a strange sense of loneliness welled up inside her.

I'm just...too narcissistic.

Just now, I was so arrogant that I thought they were trying to seduce me.

Actually... they didn't care at all!

Right.

Although he's a scalper, he's so handsome and dashing that he's probably surrounded by countless beautiful and sensible women. There are plenty of older sisters who are prettier and more sensible than him.

Who do you think you are?!

For a moment, Xiong Jiajia felt her head was in a mess, and strange emotions kept popping up.

There was awkwardness, shyness, loneliness, and a little... jealousy?

What are you thinking about, Xiong Jiajia?!

"Um, can I do you a favor?"

Just as Xiong Jiajia was lost in thought, a familiar, gentle male voice suddenly rang in her ears.

Xiong Jiajia subconsciously looked up, and a hint of surprise instantly appeared in her eyes.

"What's wrong?"

Xiong Jiajia took a deep breath and looked at Zheng Fan, who had returned, and asked.

"Can I add you on WeChat?"

"what……"

If any other person of the opposite sex made such a request, Xiong Jiajia was certain that she would roll her eyes at them.

But at this moment, Xiong Jiajia felt that even if Zheng Fan's purpose in adding her on WeChat wasn't entirely pure, she didn't seem to be angry.

"good……"

The girl lowered her head, her voice barely audible.

Watching Zheng Fan's departing figure again, Xiong Jiajia clutched her phone to her chest, and her strange feelings vanished!

Be confident, Xiong Jiajia! You're still very charming!

Drop drop-

The phone vibrated, and Xiong Jiajia glanced at the notification; it was from Zheng Fan.

After hesitating for a moment, Xiong Jiajia nervously and shyly opened the message.

Hello, could you please reimburse me for the family bucket meal, which cost 39 yuan?

Xiong Jiajia stood there, stunned, the smile on her face gradually fading away.

Are you there? Didn't you receive a message?

[Screenshot: WeChat Pay record]

At that moment, Xiong Jiajia suddenly realized that love and hate can really be separated in an instant.

Did you add me just to get reimbursed for this family bucket meal?

No, that's not it. How can one only focus on such trivial matters? One must look to the long-term future. I really want to build a good relationship with you.

【Ah... what does that mean...】

Xiong Jiajia blushed instantly, extremely nervous.

This scalper...

Why are you speaking so bluntly!

If any of your friends or classmates need help in the future, feel free to contact me.

【…】

[Let's put everything else aside for now, let's get the family bucket meal reimbursed.]

At this moment, I finally couldn't hold back my emotions that were going up and down.

On this day, many residents of the Sunshine Garden community heard a sharp explosion.
