After Lu Jinyu put the goose into the pot.

He started processing the shrimp again.

Nangong You watched as he skillfully removed the shrimp veins, secretly marveling at how well he could do everything.

Lu Jinyu prepared to boil the ingredients.

—Because their family especially loves to eat boiled shrimp.

But Lu Jinyu still asked the girl next to her, "Senior Nangong, do you like boiled shrimp?"

"I prefer braised prawns in oil," Nangong You said, "the kind with fried potato strips stir-fried together."

"I'm not a picky eater, I can eat boiled shrimp, you can cook it however you like," she said.

"Then let's make braised shrimp in oil. My family also likes braised shrimp in oil," Lu Jinyu said.

After processing the shrimp, he went and got some potatoes.

Nangong You insisted on peeling the skin, and Lu Jinyu couldn't persuade her otherwise, so she could only remind her to be careful not to cut her hand.

Nangong You, who had never done this kind of work before, was clumsy and awkward, but fortunately, peeling potatoes was very simple.

After a while, she finally finished peeling a few potatoes.

"It's pretty simple," she said, somewhat smugly.

"Yeah, that's pretty impressive."

Lu Jinyu pretended to praise her.

She wanted to cut it, but Lu Jinyu, seeing her clumsy movements while peeling the potato, didn't dare let her take the knife.

Finally, Lu Jinyu cut the potatoes into strips.

Next, prepare the scallions, ginger, and garlic, and then put them in the pot.

A fragrant aroma instantly filled the air, making even the picky eater, Nangong You, feel her mouth water.

Lu Jinyu saw this and picked up a potato: "Senior, could you check if it's cooked through?"

Nangong You's eyes curved into crescents, and she gently bit into the potato the boy offered her, her full lips slightly parted.

"Be careful, it's hot," Lu Jinyu warned.

She fanned her mouth with her hand while gently chewing, and the aroma instantly spread from her mouth.

"tasty!"

Nangong You's beautiful eyes widened slightly.

She stared longingly at the shrimp in the pot.

Lu Jinyu saw this, picked up a shrimp, and said, "Senior, could you check if it's salted enough?"

As he spoke, he had already peeled the shrimp in no time, but he was a little hesitant to hold it in his hand.

After I finished dealing with it, I realized that something seemed wrong. I couldn't possibly feed her, could I?

"Hurry up and let it in!" Nangong You urged him, her voice carrying a hint of coquettishness that she herself didn't realize.

As she spoke, she opened her alluring red lips again, her eyes fixed on the peeled shrimp in his hand.

Lu Jinyu's Adam's apple bobbed, and her hand trembled slightly as she carefully placed the shrimp into her mouth.

"One hundred points!!"

She chewed and mumbled indistinctly, her eyebrows curving slightly with a satisfied smile.

"I wonder which lucky girl will be born; he's a real gem," Nangong You said with a smile.

She leaned closer to the boy and lowered her voice, saying, "Whoever marries you will be so lucky!"

Lu Jinyu blushed with embarrassment at the praise.

I could only pretend I didn't hear it and continue with my work.

The dishes were all prepared very quickly.

Dinner is ready.

Lu Jinyu told her grandfather, and he went to the neighbor's house to call her grandmother, who was still playing mahjong, back for dinner.

Nangong You also sent a message to Wen Keke, asking her to come down for dinner.

[Nangongyou: Time to eat!]

She couldn't resist making a sarcastic remark.

[Nangong You: Your brother can do everything? How come you can't do anything? How could I have such a useless best friend like you?]

[Wen Keke: Ha! You act like you'd do that!]

Nangong You blushed – she really didn't know anything. She pouted unconvinced, but she couldn't really refute it.

"What's wrong?" Lu Jinyu asked.

"It's okay, he's just an insurance salesman!" Nangong You said.

Grandma came back soon.

At sixty-five, his hair was still black—it was dyed.

She was tall and slender, dressed fashionably, and it was clear that she had once been a wealthy young lady.

"Oh my, Lao Lu was just saying that a stunningly beautiful fairy came to our house, and I didn't believe him, but now I do."

As soon as Grandma entered the door, she greeted the exceptionally beautiful girl she was meeting for the first time with a beaming smile.

Grandpa muttered very quietly from behind, "I didn't say anything."

Nangong You responded with a sweet and obedient smile:

"Thank you, Grandma."

"Grandma, is this a limited edition LV scarf? It's so hard to buy; I've always wanted to get one but haven't been able to."

Nangong You looked at the silk scarf around her grandmother's neck and smiled.

In fact, if she wants to buy something, there's nothing she can't buy.

"Oh my, you really know your stuff, girl."

Grandma smiled broadly, as if she had met a kindred spirit: "Let me tell you, these old men and women in the countryside don't know anything about antiques; they can't recognize a single one of them."

"What's the point of wearing all this at your age?" Grandpa rolled his eyes and muttered under his breath.

"Grandpa, you wouldn't know this, would you?"

Nangong You smiled and said, "Fashion knows no age. Karl Lagerfeld was over 80 years old and was still a fashion icon."

Besides, Grandma looks so young! If we went out together, people would definitely say that's my mother.

Lu Jinyu's lips twitched slightly.

Are you trying to take advantage of this situation?

Moreover, isn't this mutual flattery going too far?

Grandma didn't care about that; she laughed like a sixty-year-old child.

"Oh my, you're not only so beautiful, but you also have such a sweet tongue. I wonder which lucky young master will be able to marry you in the future."

"Grandma, I'm only a junior in college, and I've never even been in a relationship," Nangong You said somewhat shyly.

"You don't like women, do you?" Grandpa paused for a moment, then asked somewhat woodenly.

The main reason is that this girl looks like a fairy and has a sweet tongue, so how could she have never been in a relationship?

"If you can't speak, then shut up. Nobody thinks you're mute."

Grandma rolled her eyes at Grandpa.

She then turned to Nangong You with a beaming smile and spoke:

"You must have too high standards, right? No ordinary person is good enough for you!"

Wen Keke happened to be coming down the stairs and caught up with the conversation:

"That's true. There are so many men pursuing her, they could line up all the way to our house. There are a whole bunch of rich, good-looking, and talented men, but she doesn't like any of them."

Wen Keke's statement was somewhat exaggerated.

But it's basically true, because her ex-boyfriend, whom she just broke up with, works at Jiangda University.

So I know quite a bit about this top campus beauty who is very popular at Jiangda University.

"Grandma, don't listen to Coco's nonsense. It's not that I look down on her, it's just that feelings are a matter of fate, don't you think?"

Nangong You said with a smile.

"Yes, yes, it depends on fate, it has nothing to do with anything else, there's a saying—"

"Money can't buy my happiness!"

Grandma and Nangong You spoke in unison, and then they both smiled. The two, who were meeting for the first time, were surprisingly in sync.

"Are you going to eat or not?"

Grandpa couldn't stand watching the two of them flattering each other, and muttered something under his breath.

Grandma glared at him again, and Grandpa scratched his head sheepishly, not daring to say anything.

"Let's eat and talk," Grandma said, pulling Nangong You down to sit.

"Ignore him. This old man doesn't know anything. He probably doesn't even know who the Empress Dowager is."

Grandpa was unhappy.

As a bank employee with forty years of experience, he doesn't understand fashion, but finance is his forte.

Studying economic trends is an essential part of his work.

"The famous German designer Karl Lagerfeld, as if I really don't know him." Grandpa curled his lip.

Unfortunately, nobody paid him any attention.

"By the way, I just heard you're from Jiangda University?" Grandma asked Nangong You.

"Yes, Grandma, I'm a junior in college."

Grandma's eyes lit up, flashing with lightning-like shrewdness.

"Xiao Yu is also from Jiangda University."

Grandma smiled broadly, "Girl, could you please take care of him from now on?"

Nangong You turned to look at Lu Jinyu, blinked, and immediately patted her chest to assure him:

"Grandma, you can rest assured and leave the person in my care!"
