"I saw a cat that looked a lot like you at school yesterday."
"Really? Then it must be very handsome."
"Don't be so narcissistic. By the way, the lock is broken. Where are you going to stay tonight?"
"I'm going to find a locksmith to fix it."
"Then remember to finish this can of soup."
"Okay, but don't send it next time. I'm really embarrassed."
"I made too much at home so I brought it to you. Don't get me wrong, you can throw it away if you don't like it."
"It's not that I don't like it, it's just..."
"There's nothing much to say. My mother is still waiting for me. I'll go back first."
"Well, bye."
After the two finished their conversation, Su Cheng held the pottery jar and prepared to open the door. Liu Qingyue quickly stepped back to adjust her maid outfit, restraining her expression and trying to put on a maid cafe smile.
"Click~" The door was opened by Su Cheng, and then——
"Welcome home. Do you want to eat, take a shower or come with me first..." Liu Qingyue had a sweet smile on her face and asked her master like a gentle maid.
"Wow!" Su Cheng was shocked and looked her up and down: "You're not tired of holding a maid to death?"
"I'm just a maid!" Liu Qingyue rolled her eyes, then put on a sweet smile, lifted her skirt with both hands to expose her calves and nodded.
Su Cheng was so absorbed in watching that he tried to take out his phone to take a photo. But Liu Qingyue suddenly snatched his phone away, turned off the screen and said, "You haven't answered my question yet."
"You haven't finished your question yet." Su Cheng took the phone and put it in his pocket and continued to ask: "What is the last option?"
"Or should we have a friendly exchange with the young lady first?"
Liu Qingyue took a few steps back and motioned for him to go into the living room to see who was sitting on the sofa.
"The president is here?"
Su Cheng walked into the living room with some surprise and saw a figure sitting on the sofa.
"Sorry to bother you." Ji Qingyi stood up coldly and bowed slightly.
"Boss, don't be polite to me."
Su Cheng placed the ceramic jar on the coffee table and was busy asking the president to sit down. Liu Qingyue followed him over.
"Sorry for disturbing you these past few days."
After Ji Qingyi sat down, she glanced at Liu Qingyue behind her, and then looked at Su Cheng. The meaning was very obvious, that is, she already knew that Liu Qingyue lived in Su Cheng's house.
"Not blaming me is the greatest forgiveness you can give me."
Su Cheng quickly shook his head and said, "I'm sorry, I concealed this matter."
Hearing this, Ji Qingyi took a sip of tea and said calmly, "There is no need for hypocrisy and courtesy between us."
"My lady, the food is getting cold."
The maid Qingyue interrupted and pushed Su Cheng to the sink: "The food is ready, go wash up first."
"Okay, thank you for your hard work today."
Su Cheng nodded and went into the bathroom.
Liu Qingyue walked into the kitchen, carrying a plate of scrambled eggs and placed it on the dining table. Ji Qingyi saw this and wanted to stop her.
But before he could open his mouth, Su Cheng came out and asked, "What's wrong?"
"No...no."
Ji Qingyi looked at the table guiltily, stood up and said, "Let's eat first."
Su Cheng nodded and walked over.
The two sat down, and Liu Qingyue stood behind Ji Qingyi and did not choose to sit down.
"Senior, you should eat too."
Su Cheng invited Liu Qingyue, but she shook her head slightly and refused: "No need. I have my own rules."
"I see."
Su Cheng didn't force it anymore. Then he seemed to remember something, stood up, picked up the ceramic pot from the coffee table, put it on the table and said, "This is the soup someone gave me. It tastes pretty good."
"Let me do it."
Liu Qingyue began to serve soup to the two of them and introduced: "Although my cooking skills are average, these should be edible."
"Don't be modest, Senior."
Su Cheng smiled and praised: "It's delicious."
"Thank you for your compliment."
Liu Qingyue nodded expressionlessly, then stepped back behind Ji Qingyi and looked at the dining table silently.
Su Cheng tasted each dish attentively and praised it.
Ji Qingyi remained indifferent throughout the whole process but carefully observed Su Cheng's movements as he picked up the food, fearing that he would touch the scrambled eggs.
And every time he reached for the scrambled eggs, she would nervously hold her chopsticks.
Liu Qingyue noticed this, with a mischievous gleam in her eyes.
Finally, Su Cheng's chopsticks landed on a plate of scrambled eggs. At this moment, time seemed to stand still, and the two women held their breath waiting for his reaction.
Then, Su Cheng slowly picked up a piece of scrambled eggs with chopsticks, put it into his mouth, and began to taste it.
Ji Qingyi's heart beat faster due to nervousness. She stared at Su Cheng intently, afraid of missing any details.
Although Su Cheng has the ability to manage facial expressions, it is impossible for her to do so all the time, so she has to observe his facial expressions to make her evaluation of the dish.
However, at this moment, Su Cheng suddenly stopped and took out a small piece of eggshell from his mouth.
The air fell into dead silence.
Ji Qingyi looked at him in astonishment: "I will definitely leave a bad impression on you today." She turned around and blamed Liu Qingyue: "You started showing off the food before you even got home. You really brought shame to our Ji family."
After hearing this, Liu Qingyue bowed her head and apologized: "I'm sorry, Miss, I was too careless."
"Why don't you take this failed product away?"
"Yes!"
"Wait!" Su Cheng suddenly shouted, and stood up to take the scrambled eggs in his hand, "President, please forgive my presumptuous words. I don't think this plate of scrambled eggs is a failure."
As he finished speaking, the whole room was filled with a strange atmosphere, and both women showed surprised expressions.
"Are you sure?" Ji Qingyi asked.
Su Cheng nodded and placed the scrambled eggs in front of Ji Qingyi: "I think it tastes very special. It's the best scrambled eggs I've ever tasted."
Liu Qingyue retreated behind her eldest lady, the corners of her mouth slightly raised, and it was obvious that she understood why.
"First of all, it tastes as soft as silk. When the tip of my tongue touches it lightly, it seems to take me on an endless gourmet journey." After Su Cheng finished speaking, he picked up a piece of scrambled eggs with chopsticks to taste it and took a piece of eggshell out of his mouth.
This made Ji Qingyi frown, "How can scrambled eggs with eggshells be a successful product?"
After hearing this, Su Cheng shook his head: "On the contrary, the presence of some eggshells mixed in makes this plate of scrambled eggs more distinctive."
Having said this, he stood up and looked at Liu Qingyue: "Senior, is this your first time using eggs to cook a dish?"
"Yes?"
Liu Qingyue nodded.
Su Cheng took a deep breath, an excited look appeared on his face, and he said firmly: "This is my first time cooking a dish using eggs. Even though you are not good at it, you still mustered up the courage to make it for me. Therefore, this dish is extraordinary to me."
As he spoke, he looked up at Ji Qingyi and said seriously: "In short, this dish was carefully prepared by Senior Sister for me. It is by no means a failure. It is full of love, pure, and touching!"
The expression on Su Cheng's face was very serious and determined, and his eyes were serious and firm, as if to prove his words.
Ji Qingyi should have been very angry after being scolded by Su Cheng, but at this moment, she felt inexplicably happy. However, she still snorted deliberately: "Nonsense, if you want to protect her, there is no need to use such a clumsy method to make trouble, right?"
Su Cheng's face was still serious and his tone was firm. He looked at the scrambled eggs and said like a pilgrim: "President, you don't understand. I tasted the special ingredients contained in this dish. This dish is definitely not a failure!"
After saying that, he picked up the scrambled eggs again and put them into his mouth, chewing piece by piece. However, every time he took a bite of the egg, he would take out a piece of eggshell, and then a happy expression appeared on his face.
"Without a doubt, this plate of scrambled eggs is the star of today's table!"
Chapter 438 Abnormality
"Are you admiring the young lady's cute reaction?"
Liu Qingyue, who was standing behind Ji Qingyi, looked at Su Cheng who was talking big at the dinner table and couldn't help but frowning.
Because the method Su Cheng just used was not very clever, because with just a little thought, you would find that Su Cheng actually already knew that this plate of fried rice was made by the eldest lady.
But why is it not smart?
Because if you swallow the eggshell directly, that would be the smartest choice!
According to Su Cheng's previous words, he would definitely do the same.
but now…
"You are definitely admiring the young lady's ugliness?!"
Thinking of this, Liu Qingyue couldn't help but sigh, and then met Su Cheng's clear eyes again, but compared with the past, the current eyes seemed to hide something deep, bottomless, like the vast stars, making it impossible to distinguish.
"Or do you want the young lady to know his intentions as well?"
"The young lady should have noticed it by now, right?"
Liu Qingyue pondered secretly, but the next moment, she lowered her head and looked to the side, only to see that her own young lady actually nodded as if she was very pleased, with a faint smile on her face, her eyes fixed on Su Cheng.
"I remember that the young lady wasn't so stupid before?"
"Why is my smart lady gone forever?"
Liu Qingyue was stunned for a moment, then a look of sudden realization appeared on her face. She realized that her master's happiness when receiving Su Cheng's praise had reached an unprecedented level, which temporarily caused her intelligence to drop. She couldn't help but secretly click her tongue.
"The protagonist's halo?"
But then again, the eldest daughter is essentially a girl, so naturally she has her own desires, and it is precisely because she has a strong sense of self-esteem.
Now that I am praised in such a unique way by someone I care about, I feel extremely satisfied.
But unfortunately, this feeling was only short-lived.
When the young lady calms down, she will naturally realize the trick, and when she reacts, she will start to feel embarrassed and ashamed. At that time, Su Cheng will probably be in trouble...
"Why did he know..."
"Could it be that Su Cheng's purpose is to deliberately anger the young lady?!"
Liu Qingyue suddenly had an idea in her mind, and immediately thought of a horrifying ending, and her heart suddenly sank.
If Su Cheng really holds this idea in mind, then he is too terrible. The dark history that the eldest lady just blamed on her will probably make her try to make Su Cheng lose his memory at all costs!
Such a shameful act...
She might start the cigarette plan.
"What shall we do now?"
Thinking of this, Liu Qingyue felt cold all over. Looking at the friendly scene of the two people chatting, a trace of anxiety rose in her heart.
Liu Qingyue is very conflicted now, not knowing whether to warn the young lady or to prevent her from falling into his trap?
There are naturally many ways.
But she felt that she could think of these problems, and Su Cheng might also have some precautions against them.
Otherwise, why would he behave so abnormally today and hide something that would cause the young lady to feel ashamed and angry?
In the past, Su Cheng always protected the eldest lady.
She now wanted to interpret and confirm what was in Su Cheng's mind, but her skills were on cooldown at the moment and she could not determine any information at all, so she had to give up in the end.
Now Su Cheng has the ability of objective thinking. According to what he has done these days, it seems like "I predicted your prediction, and you predicted my prediction of your prediction."
So, all that is left for her now is to compromise, let go of all predictions and obsessions, reduce confrontational games, and turn to cooperation and collaboration with others.
This is the best option at the moment!
