Why are you all trying to win over me, the male supporting character?

By this time, she had changed out of her wet clothes.

She was wearing a somewhat outdated set of pajamas.

These cheap and old-fashioned pajamas are usually only seen on middle-aged women at the market.

However, it didn't look out of place on Jiang Aiyu at all; in fact, it even had a touch of elegance.

This is probably the power of good looks.

It's clear that the saying "clothes make the man" isn't always true.

"So, do you... still want to eat today's mango mousse?"

"I want to eat."

Jiang Aiyu is very persistent about the things she cares about.

Even if it were just an extra hour, she wouldn't give up, even if it were ten more hours.

Lu Chengzhou sighed.

Why are all the girls he meets so strange?

It's so late, why haven't you given up on the mango mousse yet!

This thing is just so-so, isn't it?

Is it really so delicious that you have to eat it before you can go to sleep?

……

They entered Jiang Aiyu's kitchen.

She handed him an apron.

When she went out to get something, Lu Chengzhou specifically turned around and looked at her.

Click.

The door was locked again.

Sure enough, her method of keeping people around was still as simple and brutal as ever.

Lu Chengzhou turned his head away and continued whipping the cream in his hand.

Jiang Aiyu took two mangoes out of the refrigerator, picked up a knife, and skillfully peeled, chopped, and plated them.

She's incredibly skilled with that knife.

Lu Chengzhou was amazed by what he saw.

Fortunately, she didn't have any violent tendencies...

"Teacher, are you good at cooking Chinese food?"

Jiang Aiyu asked this question out of the blue.

Lu Chengzhou paused.

After a moment's thought, hundreds of Chinese recipes came to mind.

There's no way around it; the skills the system provides are just that simple, unpretentious, and easy to use.

"It's alright."

He didn't say he was particularly good at it, mainly because he wanted to keep a low profile.

"When you come over tomorrow, remember to bring two bottles of Coke, the kind with sugar."

"Ok?"

"I'll book your class for tomorrow night, just one hour will do."

"This……"

No matter how late it is, I will wait for you.

"..."

Lu Chengzhou wanted to refuse.

However, he is soft-hearted and really not good at refusing invitations from pretty girls.

So, without really understanding what was going on, I agreed.

An hour is something you can always squeeze out, no matter what.

You can earn some pocket money and improve neighborly relations. It's a win-win situation, right?

"The teacher must have already made a mango mousse before coming here."

Jiang Aiyu said this again.

"I can smell the baked cake on you."

As she spoke, she looked up at him.

"Teachers don't need to be so dedicated. I don't want them to be too tired from teaching me. Most importantly, I don't like taking up extra of their time."

Lu Chengzhou remained silent for a while.

How is he supposed to respond to that?

The mango mousse she had earlier wasn't made for her lesson.

He wasn't shameless enough to use this to win a girl's favor.

However, he couldn't bring himself to speak the truth honestly.

He always felt that this misunderstanding made her somewhat happy.

A glint of light flashed in her eyes when she looked at him just now.

Therefore, as a gentleman, one should not deprive her of this pleasure.

Sigh, dealing with girls is such a hassle.

As he put the cake into the oven, Lu Chengzhou couldn't help but recall the hour or so he spent with Miss Meng in the kitchen.

Precise down to every detail, every tactile sensation.

And every feeling at that moment.

how to say?

He also felt quite ashamed.

When he was with Miss Meng, he would think about the young lady across the hall.

Even now, while he's spending time with the girl across the hall, he's thinking about Miss Meng again.

Fortunately, he quickly calmed down.

I successfully stopped my wild thoughts.

It's normal for men to be attracted to beautiful girls!

But just look at it and that's enough.

If someone were to grab everything and declare they want it all, that would be utterly shameless.

Lu Chengzhou understood this point very clearly and was also very self-aware.

As for Jiang Aiyu, all her thoughts were focused on making cakes.

She didn't even glance at him.

In her presence, Lu Chengzhou always felt that he was more like a humanoid cooking robot.

She would only poke him when she needed to.

……

The lesson for Jiang Aiyu ended after an hour.

There was no commotion, and no joking around.

The entire process consisted of simply exchanging ingredient lists, with the most frequent question being about the timing.

This atmosphere is really stifling.

To be honest, Lu Chengzhou didn't really like this atmosphere.

Of course, this doesn't mean he enjoys the tension and excitement of being with Miss Meng.

That would be too noisy.

He would be extremely grateful if the two could be combined.

"Teacher, try mine first."

As was her custom, she first let Lu Chengzhou taste her work.

Its sweet but not cloying taste has a subtle difference from the ones he makes himself.

That's probably the joy of cooking for yourself.

However, he ate too much of the two different flavors of mango mousse today.

I estimate he won't be making this kind of thing again for a long time to come!

Goodnight, teacher.

"Good night."

I went back to my home and closed the door.

I lie on the sofa and space out for a while.

Lu Chengzhou suddenly frowned.

"I wonder how Lin Chen is doing these days?"

063. She gave way too much.

Having not heard from the Lin family for some time, Lu Chengzhou remained somewhat worried.
