"It smells really good too."

"Tsk tsk tsk, alright, Xiao Chunzi, I didn't expect you to be such a good cook."

Mo Jingchun chuckled, "Of course! You gotta have some skills, right?"

Zhang Huizhen pointed at Mo Jingchun, then turned to look at Counselor Na Jie, "Na Jie, look, people with real skills don't need to be humble at all."

"Right, Yang Wenzhao?"

Yang Wenzhao, who was pouring Sprite for the four of them, glanced at Zhang Huizhen and said in a flat tone, "I just can't cook, so what?"

"Who says men have to know how to cook?"

"No, no, no, no, no!" Zhang Huizhen shook her head and wagged her right index finger.

"As the saying goes, if you want to capture a woman's heart, you must first capture her stomach. As long as you capture a woman's stomach, you'll be at least halfway to success."

Thump thump thump~

Zhang Huizhen knocked on the table, winked at Mo Jingchun, and said, "Junior, this is all experience. Remember to write it down in a small notebook after dinner. As the saying goes, a good memory is not as good as a bad pen. Write it down in a small notebook and review it from time to time. This experience will be enough for you to benefit endlessly."

Beside them, Li Na, who had just sat down, rolled her eyes at Zhang Huizhen, who was speaking so eloquently, and prompted:

"Alright, can't you even shut up while eating? You should save your experience to teach your Yang Wenzhao. Mo Jingchun already knows how to cook, that's something you can't envy."

"As for you two, neither of you can cook. Learn more from Mo Jingchun as soon as possible, otherwise are you planning to eat takeout every day in the future?"

Mo Jingchun was surprised, his eyes darting back and forth between Yang Wenzhao and Zhang Huizhen's faces. To be honest, if Counselor Na Jie hadn't just said it, Mo Jingchun really wouldn't have been able to tell that Yang Wenzhao and Zhang Huizhen were a couple.

One was so outgoing, and the other was so introverted. Mo Jingchun was very curious how Yang Wenzhao and Zhang Huizhen got together.

Usually carefree, Zhang Huizhen's face turned red from embarrassment under Mo Jingchun's surprised gaze. Thinking about how she managed to trick Yang Wenzhao into being with her, Zhang Huizhen felt shy.

Li Na's mouth curved up into a smile, and she teased, "Mo Jingchun, you should be more wary of women who look as gentle as little white rabbits in the future. It's really hard to say who is the hunter and who is the prey."

Mo Jingchun and Yang Wenzhao sat on the same side of the dining table. Under the table, Mo Jingchun kicked Yang Wenzhao and gave him a thumbs up.

Real man!

"Eat." Yang Wenzhao either didn't speak, or when he did, it was as simple and direct as ever.

"Ah, yes, yes, yes, eat, eat. Hurry and try it. I cooked the dishes the way I usually do, I don't know if you'll be used to eating them."

Saying that, Mo Jingchun got up and walked to the Counselor's side, taking his sister Candy from Counselor Na Jie's arms.

After returning to his seat, Mo Jingchun fed his sister Candy two mouthfuls of millet porridge, then raised his glass and said with a light smile, "Thank you all for your thoughtful care of my sister Candy. Come, I'll toast you all."

"Cheers."

Drinking the chilled Sprite was simply too refreshing!

"Come, eat, eat, don't be shy."

While eating, Candy often reached out to touch the glass of Sprite in front of Mo Jingchun, but her short arms couldn't reach it.

"Huh? Mo Jingchun, Candy is old enough to eat other food, right? I see you've only been feeding Candy millet porridge and milk. Won't that cause malnutrition?"

Mo Jingchun hesitated for a moment, then said with a firm look in his eyes, "Let's wait a little longer. Candy is still a bit small. With infant formula, she won't be malnourished. And I usually feed Candy fruit too, like apple puree and strawberries, she has those."

Half an hour later, the six dishes and one soup on the dining table were completely devoured by the four people. The hometown dishes Mo Jingchun made were simply too delicious; once they started eating, they couldn't stop.

The dining table wasn't even cleared. Mo Jingchun and the other three were all leaning back on the sofa, rubbing their bellies, while Candy sat in her stroller, holding a strawberry and gnawing on it with her baby teeth. With her intelligent little eyes, she seemed a bit confused as to why Gege and everyone else were lying there motionless.

"Xiao Chunzi, next time you invite us for a meal, please don't make so many dishes. Look at our bellies, anyone who didn't know would think we were several months pregnant."

Yang Wenzhao and Li Na, sitting on either side of Zhang Huizhen, nodded in agreement. Before, they just thought Mo Jingchun's cooking was decent and presentable. But after taking a bite, they realized that Mo Jingchun wasn't just gold, he was a king!

A king bomb right from the start!

It was no exaggeration to say that even if Mo Jingchun hadn't gotten into Jing University, with his excellent cooking skills, he could easily live a comfortable life.

Indeed, with more people, eating felt more appetizing. Usually, Mo Jingchun could barely finish one bowl of rice by himself, but today he polished off two large bowls. Mo Jingchun, also stuffed, lay on the sofa not wanting to move at all. Even a slight movement made his stomach ache a little.

Li Na yawned, covering her wide-open mouth with her delicate hand.

"I can't take it anymore, I'm too full, I want to sleep. You guys lie down for a bit, I'm going to take a nap first."

"There's a meeting tonight, so annoying."

In the living room, after resting for over half an hour, Yang Wenzhao and Zhang Huizhen also got up, preparing to leave.

Zhang Huizhen patted Mo Jingchun's shoulder generously, like a leader inspecting, and said earnestly, "Xiao Chunzi, we won't help you clear the dining table. Yang Wenzhao and I have a movie to catch this afternoon. You'll have to work hard. Next time, next time we eat, the Dishwashing Sister will take care of it for you."

"We're leaving, bye-bye."

After Zhang Huizhen and Yang Wenzhao left, Mo Jingchun didn't get up to clear the dining table either. Instead, he picked up his sister from the stroller, slowly coaxed her to sleep, and placed her on the bed.

Just as Counselor Na Jie said, being full did make one sleepy, and coupled with not sleeping well last night, after coaxing his sister Candy to sleep, Mo Jingchun also fell asleep next to his sister Candy in less than a minute, snoring away.

Mo Jingchun was woken up by his sister Candy pushing him. When he woke up, Mo Jingchun found his sister using her little head to nudge his arm.

Heh, the little guy is quite strong.

He picked up his phone from the bedside and saw that it was already past two in the afternoon, almost three. No wonder the little guy had woken up.

It seems the biological clock that's been developed is quite useful.

After unlocking the screen, Mo Jingchun was surprised to see the message from Counselor Na Jie.

"I've already helped you clear the dining table. I'm leaving now."

"Oh, right, the food you made is really delicious. I've decided, I'll come over for meals often from now on, haha."

Wearing slippers, Mo Jingchun walked to the living room and saw that the dining table was spotless.
