He slept with his sister's best friend, who turned out to be a top-tier succubus school beauty.

"That's utter nonsense."

Nangong You muttered under her breath, how could she possibly deserve such a compliment?

But the corners of his mouth were slightly upturned.

No one dislikes being praised.

Especially when praised by someone you like or are interested in.

"You're pretty good at making girls happy, you must have had quite a few girlfriends, right?" Nangong You snorted.

Lu Jinyu was clearly taken aback, and had the illusion that there was a hint of murderous intent in Nangong's words.

"No, I haven't talked to any of them."

Lu Jinyu explained, "High school studies are so demanding, and how can high school students even date?"

Nangong You's eyes instantly lit up with a faint smile. She glanced at the boy's handsome profile and asked again:

"Surely there must be a girl he likes?"

Lu Jinyu paused for a moment.

He actually has very few friends.

In my spare time, I would help classmates copy homework or play games for them to earn some pocket money.

But the only exception is Zhou Zixuan.

He once thought that Zhou Zixuan liked him. He couldn't really tell whether he liked Zhou Zixuan or not. Maybe he liked her a little bit.

After all, she had been so good to me.

"No!"

Lu Jinyu didn't know why she said those words, and why she said them so confidently.

It was as if he was explaining it to her.

But whatever, let it be!

After overhearing those words outside the KTV, he now clearly knows that he doesn't like Zhou Zixuan.

Nangong You's eyebrows and eyes curved into a crescent moon.

She had no idea that she was happy.

Lu Jinyu quickly chopped up the goose, washed it clean, and packed it away.

He then took out some flour, preparing to make some potstickers.

"You even know this?"

Nangong You was truly shocked. Not only was she so good-looking, but she could also do everything. How could anyone else live like that?

"It's very simple, you can learn it by watching the short videos," Lu Jinyu said.

"ox--"

Nangong You almost blurted it out again.

Fortunately, even a single word can convey meaning.

Lu Jinyu began kneading the dough.

As he rubbed his hands, he inexplicably remembered that dream again.

He was kneading the dough, and the little red dates on the dough were getting harder and harder with each kneading!

"Why is your face red?" Nangong You asked.

Lu Jinyu was startled and quickly explained, "It's a little hot."

"Is it hot? It's quite cool inside!" Nangong You muttered to herself, but didn't think much of it.

"Can I give it a try?" She watched the boy kneading the dough and felt a desire to try it out herself.

"sure."

Nangong You was overjoyed and quickly washed her hands. She was eager to try, but didn't know where to start.

"Just rub it with both hands as you like," Lu Jinyu said.

Nangong You tried to imitate him, using her two hands, which were even whiter than flour, to knead the dough, but she couldn't get the hang of it.

In fact, Lu Jinyu had already finished kneading it.

After Nangong You rubbed it a few times, he said, "It's rubbed pretty well, that's fine."

"Huh? That's it?" Nangong You blinked her beautiful eyes. "Am I that amazing?"

"Um."

Lu Jinyu nodded.

A bright smile instantly appeared on Nangong You's fair and pretty face, quite pleased with herself:

"Then I must be a genius!"

"Um."

Lu Jinyu smiled.

"And then what?" she asked again.

"Just wait for the dough to rise."

Lu Jinyu said, "Go and rest in the living room. I'll go to the vegetable garden and get some vegetables."

Even when stewing goose in an iron pot, you need to add some vegetables.

It's actually quite similar to hot pot.

"I'll go with you."

Nangong You's eyes lit up; she had never actually been to a vegetable garden to pick vegetables before.

As I said before, how could Lu Jinyu refuse Nangong You, who was a guest?

So he picked up his vegetable basket.

But Nangong You snatched it away: "I'll help you carry it."

The boy and girl walked side by side, heading once again toward the vegetable garden not far behind the courtyard.

The vegetable garden is planted with several kinds of vegetables, as well as scallions, garlic, and cilantro.

Lu Jinyu first picked some scallions and some garlic sprouts.

His phone rang, and he took it out to check the message.

[Wen Keke: Help me pick more cilantro.]

His hand had just touched the cilantro.

"Cilantro!" Nangong You whispered.

Lu Jinyu stopped what he was doing. He could tell that Senior Sister Nangong probably didn't eat cilantro.

"Don't you eat cilantro?"

"Hmm." Nangong You nodded, then said, "But this cilantro is growing really well."

Lu Jinyu glanced at her expression, silently withdrew her hand, and took out her phone to reply to Wen Keke:

The cilantro hasn't fully grown yet!

Then, without changing his expression, he put his phone back in his pocket and continued picking vegetables.

"Who is it?" Nangong You asked subconsciously.

"It's a scam," Lu Jinyu said.

Nangong You looked at her fair hands, then at the lush green vegetables.

She wanted to pick it too.

This curious child, who grew up in the city, wants to try everything he sees.

As if she had thought of something, she suddenly smiled.

"Little Fish, you just said I resemble the protagonist in 'Ode to the Goddess of the Luo River'?"

Lu Jinyu didn't know why she suddenly asked that question, but she still gave a soft "hmm".

"Does the protagonist in 'Ode to the Goddess of the Luo River' allude to Zhen Ji?" she asked.

"You could say that."

"Then wouldn't I be Zhen Ji?"

Nangong You suddenly smiled, bent down, and picked a large cabbage.

The girl held up a large cabbage with both hands, her beautiful eyes looking at him, trying hard to suppress a smile:

"Zhen Ji pulling vegetables?"

Lu Jinyu's eyelids twitched violently.

Is this how you use this meme?

The two picked some other vegetables, filling their basket to the brim.

Nangong You carried her vegetable basket and followed him back.

A large, fat rat suddenly darted out and ran past Nangong You's feet.

"Ah~"

She glanced at it and immediately gasped in surprise.

As soon as Lu Jinyu turned around, the girl's fragrant and soft body instantly pounced on him.

She wrapped her arms around his neck and hooked her legs around his waist.

They embraced in an extremely intimate manner.

"There are rats! There are rats!"

Nangong You's voice trembled with fear, and her body shook slightly. She was most afraid of rats.

Lu Jinyu froze on the spot.

Although the two had slept in each other's arms before, this position now—

They were almost pressed tightly together.

The weather was hot, and the two of them were dressed very lightly. Lu Jinyu could feel her burning body temperature and her heart pounding wildly because she was frightened by the rat.

The faint, pleasant scent of roses wafted into Lu Jinyu's nostrils, causing her to freeze instantly, her cheeks to flush, and her heart to pound wildly.

In the distant vegetable garden, Aunt Wang was startled by the loud breathing. She stood up, glanced at it, and then her eyes widened.

"My God!"

Aunt Wang stared at the two embracing each other, her mouth agape enough to fit an egg.

"Young people these days, they really know how to have fun!"

They had to hug each other even in the vegetable garden.

Aunt Wang shook her head, then pretended not to see it and quickly bent down to continue hoeing the ground.

Lu Jinyu was stunned for a while. He glanced at the vegetable garden and carefully confirmed that the rats had run away.

"They...they ran away." Lu Jinyu's voice was low and hoarse.

Nangong You was still clinging to him, holding him tightly.

She craned her neck to look for a while, and only jumped down after confirming it was safe.

Realizing what had just happened, a faint blush crept onto the tips of the girl's ears.

"That rat was huge!" Nangong You quickly changed the subject. "Let's go."

"Um."

Lu Jinyu responded, bent down to pick up the vegetable basket that Nangong You had thrown away, and put the spilled vegetables back into it.

He observed carefully, afraid that another ignorant big rat might run out.

Nangong You stood very close to him this time, almost walking right next to him.

The girl's arm and the boy's arm occasionally touched, and when their skin touched, a tingling sensation spread through them.

Nangong You looked up unintentionally and saw that the boy's ear tips were also slightly red.

A slight smile played on her lips as she moved even closer to him!
