"Huh? Ah Feng, what are you doing delivering food? I saw you delivering packages earlier."

Wu Xiaoxiong stared blankly at Afeng outside, momentarily unable to react.

What luck! I actually ran into someone while delivering takeout!

"We mostly do part-time jobs, Shang Yan dragged me into it all, saying we needed to earn our first pot of gold for starting a business. Putting that aside, what are you all doing here? Having a party? Is there anyone else in there?"

"Ah, no, no, we were just at Old Chen's youthful... um—"

Before Saki could finish speaking, Chen Xiao quickly covered her mouth, explaining somewhat guiltily—

"I was visiting a friend's house, and since Saki was free, I brought her along."

"Oh, I see..."

"Old Chen, are you done yet? The steak you're frying is going to burn. You told me not to help you."

"..."

As Lin Qiu's voice came from inside the house, everyone outside fell into an eerie silence.

Xia Chufeng looked at Chen Xiao with a subtle gaze, her eyebrows involuntarily twitching—

"That was..."

“It’s an illusion!”

"I heard it clearly..."

"Ah Feng, don't you still have food deliveries to make? Won't you be penalized for being late if you keep delaying?"

"Oh right, I'm doomed, I'm outta here!"

Suddenly snapping back to reality, Xia Chufeng's face turned pale. He immediately dared not linger and rode his electric scooter out of the residential area like the wind.

After watching the guy's figure drive further and further away, Chen Xiao finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"Old Chen, what's there to hide? A-Feng isn't Shang Yan or Wei Ran; he won't talk nonsense."

Saki glanced at the nervous Chen Xiao and muttered, "It's clearly not a big deal."

“Ah Feng won’t say anything carelessly, but when he casually chats with Shang Yan and the others, who knows what those guys might imagine, and then it will become the talk of the whole school!”

Chen Xiao muttered to himself that among the people he knew, only A Feng and Xian Yu were somewhat trustworthy, while Wei Ran and Shang Yan were not exactly honest people.

It's better to be on guard!

"Oh, but you'd better go back to the kitchen first, I can already smell something burning."

"My steak!!"

Chen Xiao exclaimed in surprise, handed the cake to Wu Xiaoxiong, and then hurriedly rushed back to the kitchen.

Lin Qiu, who had witnessed the tragedy from beginning to end, felt his blood pressure rise as he looked at the steak in the pot, which had become indescribable.

Even though I wasn't the one cooking, watching it made me incredibly frustrated!

"Tsk—it turned out like this after being interrupted for a bit."

When Chen Xiao returned, he sighed with some regret. It was just a little bit short.

Lin Qiu glanced at Chen Xiao, who was frantically tidying up, and tentatively asked—

"How about I do it?"

"I can do it!"

"..."

Lin Qiu's lips twitched upon hearing this, and his gaze subconsciously drifted towards Saki, who had also returned to the house.

Can you please stop Old Chen? He looks like a complete novice with a huge addiction!

"Don't look at me. Once Old Chen gets into it, no one can stop her. But don't be too nervous. It's really just a mistake. Old Chen's skills are still pretty good."

Saki, who immediately understood Lin Qiu's look, quickly explained, "This is for real."

Old Chen came over to my house last night, and she cooked dinner. I thought it was pretty good!

"Is that so?"

Lin Qiu glanced at Chen Xiao with some surprise, thinking that this guy was just as terrible at cooking as Qin Yunmo.

"Just you wait, what happened just now was an accident. Do you still have steak? I'll fry another one!"

"Yes, look, over here."

"Leave this to me, you can go and rest in the living room."

Chen Xiao waved his hand and said, "The kitchen is my battlefield now. Leave the rest to me!"

Lin Qiu glanced at her busy figure, and after confirming that everything was alright for the time being, he left the kitchen.

Meanwhile, in the living room, Chie couldn't wait to open the cake box.

Chie's eyes lit up at the sight of the huge circle of strawberries, but before she could even pick up her fork to take a bite, Lin Qiu grabbed her by the back of the neck—

"Lunch is coming soon, don't rush to eat snacks."

"Hey—I'll only eat a little bit, I promise I won't eat more!"

"You've used that excuse several times already."

Lin Qiu remained unmoved and put the cake back in front of Qian Hui's expectant gaze.

This little guy has no limit when it comes to desserts; if you're not careful, he won't want to eat his meals anymore. We absolutely can't spoil him!

Saki looked at Chie, who was itching to scratch Lin Qiu with her little paws, and felt a great sense of relief.

Old Chen, your future looks pretty secure!

"Sakuma, do you have any dietary restrictions? I wonder if the food at home suits your taste."

"Ah, I'm not picky at all. Just make more of what Chie likes to eat."

"oh!!"

"Don't spoil her, or she'll get fat."

Lin Qiu flicked Qian Hui's forehead in annoyance, which immediately drew a grumbling from the little girl.

Meanwhile, Chen Xiao, who was in the kitchen, glanced at the harmonious atmosphere in the living room, where the family seemed to be chatting casually, and his eyelids twitched involuntarily.

The knife in his hand went out of control and chopped hard at the steak, almost cutting the cutting board in half.

Upon noticing the commotion on Chen Xiao's end, Saki was startled and quickly turned her head away to change the subject.

"By the way, Lin Qiu, the school's exchange meeting is coming up soon. Have you heard anything from your side?"

"We haven't made any moves over there, but even if we do, it'll probably be Yunmo and her fellow student council members who handle it."

"Tell me about your student council activities."

"What, trying to gather intelligence? Our school isn't one to be trifled with."

"Hey, let's exchange ideas! You can ask me anything you want to know!"

208 - Why are you nervous too?

"Let me tell you, Wei Ran from our area is really amazing. Although his exam scores are terrible, he's quite good at other things!"

"Especially in some sports, she performs exceptionally well, even comparable to Lao Chen. Besides Qin Yunmo, is there anyone in your area who can compare to her?"

"I think if we send out Sawari, the two of them will be enough to fight to the death."

Lin Qiu imagined a cat and a dog fighting fiercely, and suddenly felt much more at ease.

Although Ze Zhi usually acts like a shrewd businessman who loves to take advantage of others, he should still be able to charge in when facing a natural enemy like Wei Ran.

Sakuma's eyelids twitched, and after a few seconds of contemplation, she spoke again in a deep voice—

"We also have Xianyu, the third-in-command of our student council. He's all-around talented! He's known as the 'Hexagon Warrior'."

"Shang Yan told me that he could be bribed with a pack of Pocky."

"..."

That bastard Shang Yan actually betrayed us and defected to the enemy!

Whose side are you on anyway?!

Saki's lips twitched, barely suppressing the urge to go back and strangle Shang Yan, and she muttered somewhat resentfully—

"We also have A-Feng. She can be considered an idol in the student council. Her popularity is comparable to Lao Chen's, and she's also the provincial shooting champion!"

"Shang Yan also said that her problems with chemistry seem to be extremely serious, and she almost blew up the lab."

Old Chen, can I execute Shang Yan, that traitor, first...?

Wu Xiaoxiong looked at Chen Xiao in the kitchen with a look of frustration. Shang Yan, that guy, tells everyone almost everything!

Don't tell me that guy is an undercover agent sent by Yue Du!

"Forget it, this year's school exchange meeting may not necessarily be about grades or anything. I heard it's going to be quite large-scale. You'll get to see the strength of Longmen then."

"Yes, yes, but I'm just here to watch the fun. If you come to Yuedu, I can treat you to a meal at the cafeteria."

Lin Qiu muttered lazily, "Although there are a lot of people in the cafeteria, the food is still pretty good."

"Shouldn't you be treating us to a meal at a restaurant outside the school?"

"Shang Yan was worried that I would run away after settling the bill, so he suggested the cafeteria."

"..."

Wu Xiaoxiong looked at Lin Qiu intently, and for some reason, she felt that Shang Yan's figure vaguely overlapped with this guy's.

You two aren't actually dating, are you? You seem to be having a very deep conversation!

Before she could ask anything, Old Chen's voice came from the kitchen again—

"Sakuma, come and lend a hand, help me wash the pot, I have to keep an eye on things here."

"Oh, here it comes."

"Then I..."

"Lin Qiu, please sit down. It's settled then, I'll take care of lunch today, so just sit and enjoy it."

Chen Xiao glanced at Lin Qiu, who had stood up, and glared at him, sending him shoving back onto the sofa.

This is my chance to win back your favor, and I absolutely won't let you stop me!

Seeing Chen Xiao's persistent look, Lin Qiu shook his head helplessly and could only obediently slump on the sofa, staring intently at Qian Hui who was trying to steal food.

Feeling Lin Qiu's oppressive gaze, Chie couldn't help but pout, but she still managed to suppress her restless little hands.

Just as the silence in the living room reached a stalemate, a knock suddenly came from outside the door.

"Who is it at this time?"

"Brother Lin Qiu, did you order takeout?"

No, I'll go check.

Lin Qiu walked towards the door somewhat blankly. Could it be that the delivery guy had come back again?

But as he dazedly opened the door and looked at Ye Qianhe standing outside, a look of horror immediately appeared on his face.

The next second—

"Bang!!"

"Son, that little thing you were doing just now, were you trying to close the door?"

Ye Qianhe gripped the door tightly with both hands, looking at Lin Qiu with a forced smile.

On her arm, veins bulged, and the terrifying brute force made Lin Qiu's mouth twitch wildly.

"How could that be, Mom? This is our own home, why would we stop you?"

"Shouldn't you move aside now?"

"Well, the house is a bit messy right now. Let Chie tidy it up a bit."

"With Chie around, how could the house possibly be messy? Besides, it doesn't matter if it's messy or not, I can help tidy up."
