Time flies. Ever since Chu Yi'an sneaked into Jian Yue's room in the middle of the night two nights ago, something seems to have happened, and their relationship has become a little closer than before.

Compared to Jian Yue, who has been single since birth for 24 years, Chu Yi'an, who has been single since birth for 19 years, is much more open. Even though Jian Yue hasn't agreed to date him yet, he already considers himself Jian Yi'an's boyfriend and occasionally makes unwanted advances, often earning him a look from Cheng Yan that says, "You two are such sluts."

Chu Yi'an would always return his gaze with a provocative look, making Cheng Yan so angry he felt like he was about to explode.

Gu Wancheng was completely ecstatic, and it took her two days to finally calm down before she belatedly realized when they had gotten together. Even though they were together every day, she hadn't noticed any significant contact between them.

But I was too embarrassed to go up and ask. After all, it's okay to dance in front of the person in question, even though we've already done it a few times.

" Wancheng, help me take this dish out." Zhao Chengyu's voice came from outside.

Gu Wancheng put down the chili peppers in her hand, went into the kitchen, and took a plate of scrambled eggs with tomatoes from the counter to the dining table outside.

Several dishes were already on the table when Bo Yizhou walked in carrying drinks he had bought from the village store.

Gu Wancheng glanced at the drinks she had bought and heard him say, "Is there anything else I haven't cooked?"

"Stuffed chilies, I haven't finished washing the chilies yet." Remembering the chilies still in the basin, she hurried over.

The stuffed chili peppers were a last-minute decision. While I was cooking, Brother Li suddenly showed up and brought a basket of freshly picked chili peppers. Then Chu Yi'an had a sudden inspiration and decided to add another dish.

Neither Zhao Chengyu nor Xu Xiashi had ever tried stuffed chili peppers before, so they were very much looking forward to this dish.

When I went in, Chu Yi'an was still chopping meat, and the whole kitchen was making a racket like a battle was raging.

He walked over to the basin containing the chili peppers and continued processing them. Bo Yizhou walked over to him and took over the work, saying, "I'll do it. You go and rest."

"I didn't do anything, I don't need to rest." Gu Wancheng shook her head.

The viewers in the live stream all knew that Bo Yizhou was just being considerate of his wife and didn't want him to do any work.

But your husband doesn't want you to do housework!

[ President Bo a good man, unlike my deadbeat husband, who's practically paralyzed, oblivious to everything, and incredibly lazy.]

A man who is proactive and attentive to life is a rare find.

[ Brother Chu is pretty good too; he doesn't look like a boy who's only nineteen and just turned eighteen a year old. Brother Jian is so lucky.]

[ Brother Jian, an older man dating a younger woman!]

[Maybe it's a case of a young girl dating an old man. winking emoji]

[That makes sense. When the two stand together, the height difference is obvious; Brother Jian looks like a little wife next to Brother Chu.]

[Don't you dare slander our Brother Jian! He's clearly incredibly charismatic! angry emoji]

[That's right, Brother Jian must be on top!]

[ Brother Jian can be on top, but Brother Chu is definitely inside!]

Just as the viewers in the live stream were arguing about who should win or lose, the other party involved pushed open the door and entered. Chu Yi'an put down the knife and took the bag from his hand.

Why are you carrying so much stuff?

Jian Yue shook her reddened hand and said, " Grandma Zhang insisted on giving it to us."

Chu Yi'an was about to grab his trembling hand when he remembered that his hands were oily, so he put them down. "Go wash your hands, just rinse them off, it'll be fine in a bit."

Jian Yue Yi nodded, her reddened hands soaking in the cool water, and she breathed a sigh of relief.

"How do we do this?" Bo Yizhou's question pulled him back from his CP (couple) obsession.

Gu Wancheng quickly turned around and saw Bo Yizhou picking up a chili pepper, looking at her with a slight frown.

Gu Wancheng felt guilty for a second, then laughed it off and said, "Just pinch its tail down and pull it out, then wag it a couple of times in the water."

Bo Yizhou hummed in agreement and obediently did as he was told. Gu Wancheng didn't dare look at the two people beside her anymore. After a while, she heard a voice in her ear. "Did it look good just now?"

Gu Wancheng subconsciously replied, "It looks good."

Then he paused, slowly raised his head, met Bo Yizhou's ambiguous smile, gave an awkward smile, and lowered his head.

[Wow~ Was Bo Yizhou pickled in a vinegar vat?]

[ Chengcheng is lying, he's being naughty, President Bo, please punish him severely! (shouting emoji)]

[Seven times in one night!]

Bo Yizhou took a deep look at the top of his head.

After the chili peppers were stuffed, Chu Yi'an do it, since the others wouldn't know how.

A few kids and some others were playing "eagle catches chicks" in the yard, while the socially awkward guy remained quietly to the side.

During the meal, everyone was very satisfied with the dish. However, the children couldn't eat too much spicy food, so each of them only ate a small portion.

After finishing their meal and resting for a while, that annoying guy popped up again, and then, at his prompting, Xiaoxiao handed him a task card—a huge one.

The crowd huddled together to watch.

"Please go to a shop in town called ' Art Between the Fingers.' Each family needs to choose a handmade craft there and work together to complete it."

Everyone: (꒪⌓꒪)

After changing clothes upstairs, we checked the time, sat in the living room for a while, and then went to the roadside to wait for a car.

Upon arriving in town, following the navigation, Gu Wancheng came to the entrance of ' Art Between the Fingers '. She looked inside and saw that it had everything.

I'll choose something simpler to do later.

As soon as I entered, the shop owner came up to me. She was a very young woman who greeted me with a smile, "Hi everyone, good afternoon. My Zhang Yue, you can just call me Boss Zhang."

Gu Wancheng and the others nodded and greeted her politely.

Zhang Yue bent down, looked at the children, and rubbed her hands together. "My darlings, call me Sister Yue."

Hello, Sister Yue!

Hearing their childish voices, Zhang Yue couldn't stop smiling. She quickly covered her mouth with her hand, trying to maintain her composure.

She straightened up a little sheepishly. "Please follow me, everyone," she said as she led them inside. "I have handmade items here, including phone cases, plaster dolls, painting series, bracelets and necklaces, handmade soaps, and more. You can choose one, and I'll teach you how to make it in a bit."

Gu Wancheng frowned as she listened to so many options, suffering from decision paralysis.

After hesitating for a while, I decided to leave this difficult question to Bo Yizhou, "What are we going to do later?"

"You can draw, why don't you choose the painting series?" Bo Yizhou said.

"No, let's choose another one." Gu Wancheng had originally planned to choose this one, but after thinking about it, she gave up. " Chaochao, what do you want to do?"

Chaochao thought about what Zhang Yue had said, frowned in thought for a moment, and then said, "Let's make bracelets!"

"Okay." Gu Wancheng nodded. "Then let's make a bracelet."

"What are we supposed to do?" Anna asked, turning her head.

Zhao Chengyu thought for a moment and said, "Let's make phone cases; that should be simpler."

Anna and Xiaolin had no objections and agreed with what he said.

"What do you want to do?" Chu Yi'an asked.

Tongtong immediately shook her head. The next second, Chu Yi'an looked at her and said, "I didn't ask you."

Tongtong was shocked. "Then who are you asking?!" She followed his gaze, suddenly realized, and then pouted.

Jian Yue sighed, "Let's make something simple; our whole family is clumsy with our hands."

Zuozuo nodded after hearing this, saying that crafts are extremely difficult.

"Who's clumsy!" Cheng Yan couldn't stand it and immediately jumped out, his eyebrows standing on end in anger.

Jian Yue glanced at him with a quiet, understated look. "Isn't that right?"

Cheng Yan wanted to retort, but the words stuck in his throat. He was indeed clumsy, damn it, and couldn't find a point to refute.

He snorted angrily, Zuozuo looked up at him and sighed.
