Soon, Shen Xingcan retreated to Xie Linchuan's side. "Let's go, let's go to the kitchen and show off our cooking skills to Mom and Dad."
When the two arrived at the kitchen, Qin Su and Xie Qingshan were already there.
"Why are you in the kitchen? Are you hungry? Auntie Zhang, could you make something for Cancan to eat?"
Shen Xingcan: "No need, I'm not hungry. I'm planning to cook a fish for everyone to try."
Qin Su was quite surprised. " Cancan can cook fish now?"
Shen Xingcan was Qin Su watched grow up, so naturally, she was well aware that her youngest son's understanding of cooking was limited to assisting his older son.
"I learned this new recipe today, and I even made it for my Brother Linchuan at lunchtime."
It just ended up in the trash.
But there was no need to say that, because Shen Xingcan was confident that she wouldn't repeat the same mistake this time.
Qin Su exclaimed, "Then Mom and Dad are in for a treat today!"
Whether it tastes good or not is not important; what matters is the child's heart.
The aunties who were preparing various ingredients nearby also chimed in, marveling at how blessed their mistress was to have such a thoughtful young son who always thought of his parents.
Having practiced at noon, Shen Xingcan was clearly much more at ease this time.
Moreover, because she was very afraid of making mistakes and losing face, Shen Xingcan specially hired Xie Linchuan as her temporary mentor to correct her mistakes at any time.
As expected, Shen Xingcan's pan-fried sea bass was placed in the center of the table when it was served.
Qin Su took a bite first, then nodded. "It tastes wonderful! No wonder he's my son; he can cook the sea bass so well on his second try."
Xie Qingshan also took a bite and nodded. "Delicious, even better than those professional chefs outside."
Shen Xingcan also picked up a piece with her chopsticks. Well, although it wasn't quite as good as a professional chef's, the taste was still pretty good.
Xie Linchuan also took a bite.
Shen Xingcan looked at Xie Linchuan opposite her, conveying with Xie Linchuan eyes the message: if you dare to spout nonsense, then I will definitely not let you off the hook today.
Xie Linchuan: "It tastes good, but I think I deserve at least half the credit for this fish."
Shen Xingcan, who felt she had taken half the credit, was very dissatisfied. "... Why? I was the one who fried the fish, and you just watched from the side the whole time!"
Even though he invited Xie Linchuan to provide guidance, Xie Linchuan in the whole affair was negligible!
Xie Linchuan: "If I hadn't eaten that bitter fish at noon, Mom and Dad would be eating that bitter fish now. It's only fair that you share half the credit with me."
Shen Xingcan choked for a moment, then retorted, "Impossible..."
Xie Linchuan: "That's the truth."
Shen Xingcan turned evil. He cackled and then said arrogantly, "To tell you the truth, I deliberately made that fish bitter at noon! I wanted to give you bitter fish!"
Xie Linchuan coldly replied, "So, Shen Xingcan, you deliberately made me eat bitter fish."
Shen Xingcan immediately complained, "Mom, look at him! He threatened me!"
Qin Su warned, "Don't you dare threaten Cancan."
Xie Linchuan ignored his own mother's warning and gave Shen Xingcan a disdainful look. " Shen Xingcan, you little tattletale."
Shen Xingcan angrily retorted, " Xie Linchuan is the one who tattles, I can't be bothered with you, don't talk to me again!"
Qin Su listened to the two bickering and smiled broadly. Only then did she finally believe that her two sons had indeed made up, and their relationship seemed even better than before.
Shen Xingcan took out her phone and took a picture of the food on the table, planning to post it on Weibo later.
This meal featured the skills of Qin Su and Xie Qingshan, as well as the skills of the family's housekeeper, but there was no doubt that these dishes were Shen Xingcan's favorites.
Although Xie Linchuan had taken good care of Shen Xingcan over the past few days, Shen Xingcan still ate too much, something she hadn't done in a long time.
After dinner, Shen Xingcan and Xie Linchuan went for a walk, while Qin Su and Xie Qingshan went to the study to continue their work.
-
Shen Xingcan simply had someone bring his skateboard from his basement so he could go out and play.
He handed his phone to Xie Linchuan.
The evening breeze ruffled his loose hair on both sides, making him look like a beautiful and lively bird.
Xie Linchuan looked quietly at the dazzling person in front of him, his eyes gentle.
Shen Xingcan happily frolicked for a while, and only when she was done playing did she ask someone to put the skateboard away.
The two went to rest on the swing chair at the far end of the garden.
Give me your phone, I'll send out the photo I just took.
Send me one.
Shen Xingcan: "What?"
"Post it on WeChat Moments."
Shen Xingcan: "Okay."
He sat down on the swing chair and quickly sent the photo he had just taken to Xie Linchuan.
Then I adjusted the angle and took a selfie of my face.
Shen Xingcan V: I'm home. My parents prepared a delicious dinner. [Image]
Lemon Candy: Wow, what a sumptuous dinner! Your uncle and aunt's cooking is excellent.
Crispy Shark: Even more beautiful than dinner is the person! Who is so beautiful? It turns out to be our Xingcan Baby!
Hate Lasts Longer Than Love: Are there four people eating? Besides Mom and Dad, are there others?
As luck would have it, Bai Lin was on his phone when the notification for this new Weibo from the person he was following popped up.
Looking at Shen Xingcan's Weibo, Bai Lin became even more certain that Shen Xingcan and Shen Lingxun had no relationship whatsoever. After all, it was common knowledge that Shen Lingxun was serving as the chairman of an international film festival, and he was currently in France. How could he possibly have time to cook for Shen Xingcan?
Xie Linchuan's posts on WeChat Moments were much simpler than Shen Xingcan's.
There was only one picture and the words "family banquet".
Based on the principle that they had already reconciled, Shen Xingcan quickly gave Xie Linchuan a thumbs up.
Soon, Xie Linchuan's post on WeChat Moments received many replies.
Among those replies, Jiang Yifeng's comment stood out. "Why is your picture the same as the captain's?"
Many people have noticed this, but none have asked it so bluntly as Jiang Yifeng.
Zou Yanshu replied to Jiang Yifeng: You're silly, of course it's because the captain and the youngest brother ate the same dinner.
Jiang Yifeng replied to Zou Yanshu: You're the idiot, I can't be bothered with you.
