All the goddesses in the world are lusting after my body.

But in its current state, can it even be considered...?

Jiang Tang chopped vegetables, started a fire, and cooked, while Jiang Peining carefully washed the dust off the vegetable leaves.

No one could have imagined that they would spend such a peaceful and warm day together in the kitchen.

There was no smoke rising from the chimneys of ancient times, but the aroma of various dishes filled the air.

In an ordinary scene, two extraordinary figures are revealed.

It also left them with precious memories.

349 Everyday Life Starting from Zero

To Jiang Tang's surprise, Jiang Peining decided to start living the life of an ordinary person.

Her company and family didn't bother her with a single phone call.

Let her completely empty her mind.

From a certain perspective, this also demonstrates that Jiang Peining has always maintained control over everything.

Dinner was prepared with some very ordinary home-style dishes: stir-fried beef with yellow peppers, stir-fried mixed vegetables, braised sea bass, and sweet radish soup.

Uh, it seems like it's missing one dish from the usual "four dishes and one soup".

However, Jiang Tang thought to himself, "When it's evening, am I not considered a dish?"

It's still the most delicious and tempting dish.

Jiang Tang could only keep such narcissistic thoughts to himself.

If he were to reveal this to Jiang Peining, he would be in deep trouble.

Jiang Tang and Jiang Peining carried the dishes and soup pot out of the kitchen respectively.

Finally, two bowls of fragrant rice were served, and chopsticks were handed from Jiang Tang to Jiang Peining.

"Let's eat. You've had a long sleep; you must be exhausted."

"..."

Jiang Peining glared at Jiang Tang slightly.

"Ahem." Jiang Tang then realized he had misspoke.

But he assured everyone that he really wasn't being sarcastic or sarcastic.

It was just a very ordinary conversation before the start of family dinner.

For example, Shi Xue might say to herself, "Master, you've studied for so long, thank you for your hard work."

Jiang Tang would also say to Shi Xue, "You've been painting for so long, you must be exhausted. Come and have dinner."

The result was that it happened to Jiang Peining.

Jiang Tang blurted out, "You've slept for so long, you must be exhausted," which was also because Jiang Peining really hadn't been doing anything productive.

That's why it sounds a bit sarcastic.

Fortunately, neither of them dwelled on the topic.

Both Jiang Tang and Jiang Peining eagerly and excitedly put down their chopsticks to the soup and dishes in front of them.

In theory, Jiang Peining can delegate any trouble to others; she only needs to use her brain.

It is said that some people even need servants to feed them their meals.

But Jiang Peining couldn't accept this, including in many intimate aspects of their lives.

She couldn't accept strangers getting involved.

Therefore, unlike some truly spoiled brats, Jiang Peining also possesses normal life skills.

For example, when Jiang Tang was teaching her how to wash and cut vegetables, Jiang Peining learned very quickly.

As she stared longingly at the spatula, Jiang Tang invited her to try "stir-frying," a kitchen activity that the young lady had probably never encountered in the past ten years.

At first, Jiang Peining only felt a sense of novelty, and a small sense of excitement and accomplishment rose in her heart.

It wasn't until she realized that Jiang Tang was just using this opportunity to slack off in the kitchen.

She immediately turned cold and handed the spatula back to Jiang Tang.

Jiang Tang didn't react much, happily accepting the food, and even added, "I can cook it even better~" to annoy Jiang Peining.

That's why Jiang Peining rarely touched the beef stir-fried by Jiang Tang.

Perhaps realizing this, at the dinner table, Jiang Tang, while devouring his food, didn't forget to put some dishes into Jiang Peining's bowl.

Looking at the beef that Jiang Tang had placed in her bowl, Jiang Peining pursed her lips again and again.

Finally, he picked up a piece of vegetable and put it in his bowl, then casually ate the beef as well.

To be honest, this beef was a bit spicy for Jiang Peining's taste.

It tastes good, but it's hard to swallow.

But she swallowed it in the end, and the girl's cheeks turned slightly red. Fortunately, the lighting was dim and the light was not clear.

"How does it feel to taste food you cooked yourself?"

"……generally."

Jiang Tang simply smiled upon hearing this and remained silent.

He was already used to Jiang Peining's hypocrisy.

Actually, he felt that Jiang Peining didn't need to keep putting on airs all the time; it must be so uncomfortable and tiring for her.

However, these are things that can only be gradually corrected through subsequent interactions.

Right now, Jiang Tang just wants to fill his stomach.

Soon, dinner came to a close amidst the occasional chatter between the two.

Jiang Peining is usually quiet, while Jiang Tang is talkative, which is fortunate.

Otherwise, I really don't know if there's any "human presence" left in this house.

If everyone is quiet and reclusive, the neighbors might think no one lives there.

At night, Jiang Tang and Jiang Peining sat on the sofa and watched TV out of boredom.

After a long pause, Jiang Peining suddenly asked.

"...Do you and Shixue usually do this at home?"

She simply couldn't understand what the point of such a life was.

Eating, watching TV, and sleeping—how come we're getting older and older without getting more tired?

Jiang Tang chuckled to himself, thinking to himself, "How could that be?"

"No, our TV is usually just for show."

"Unless I suddenly feel like playing a two-player game on the Steam platform, we generally don't use TV screen mirroring."

Even lovers don't have to be glued together and all lovey-dovey all the time.

Besides, Jiang Peining hasn't even gotten close to him yet, all lovey-dovey and affectionate.

"Before we became lovers, we each had our own identities. I was a student, and Shixue was a rising cartoonist."

"Normally at home, we spend part of our time together, on the sofa, in the studio, in bed... and the rest of the time we're doing our own things."

Jiang Peining listened attentively, then suddenly frowned.

It felt like I had just glimpsed a remarkable word.

However, she didn't think much of it.

Jiang Tang continued speaking.

"I usually have to study, so in my free time I probably just play computer games."

"Shixue works in her studio, drawing her comics."

"We are all working hard for our own lives."

“Jiang Peining, I’m not trying to criticize you, but your privileged family background has meant that you’ve never experienced the taste of ‘struggle and success’ from childhood to adulthood.”

"You get it instantly, the struggle is over, and you get it directly."

"Does this kind of achievement actually leave you feeling quite empty?"

"Gradually, you seem to experience little joy or sorrow, you don't know what you should like, and your attitude towards everything becomes increasingly indifferent."

"..."

Jiang Peining's expression had become very ominous.

If Jiang Tang were smart, he wouldn't continue.

But he continued speaking because that was Jiang Peining's biggest problem.

"In such an environment, you are too far from life and too close to heaven."

"Feeling lost and even experiencing growing pains right now is perfectly normal."

"If you are truly committed to seeing this large-scale game of pretend play through to the end, rather than giving up quickly."

"My advice is to find what you enjoy and like, and then immerse yourself in it."

"Of course, there also needs to be some incentive measures."

"Shixue and I are at home. Although we won't starve even if we don't work, we always feel uneasy. We also think that after we graduate from university, we probably won't live on campus anymore."

"I need to go to a city I like, buy a slightly bigger house, and maybe even plan a round-the-world trip after graduation."

Jiang Tang was referring to his graduation trip around the world.

It's more likely that it's a honeymoon after the wedding.

In fact, Shi Xue was indeed Jiang Tang's first intended marriage partner.

However, if this point were to be made public now, given Jiang Peining's temperament, Jiang Tang would undoubtedly be pushing the distance between himself and Shi Xue further and further away.
