Lu Xunji initiative to go into the kitchen first and glanced inside. He only breathed a slight sigh of relief after confirming that there was no ignition point. However, the pot had burned dry, which was why it was emitting black smoke.
Ji Shi and Zhou Heyu stood at the door, looking at each other, both seeing a hint of embarrassment in each other's eyes.
Although the two young masters had never cooked before, seeing that Lu Xunji could handle the meal for so many people all by himself at noon, they thought it wouldn't be too difficult for him to do it.
Who would have thought that after the pan was heated up, sparks would fly as soon as the food was poured in? The two of them, plus a Little Cake who had never lifted a finger in the kitchen, just stared blankly at it, thinking that they could just wait two or three minutes for the food in the pan to heat up before turning off the heat.
As a result, black smoke began to billow out within two minutes of the vegetables being poured in, followed by a towering flame.
Good heavens, I've only ever seen this kind of Xie Ji on TV. If there were a chef at this moment, he should have just tossed the wok up in the air and started stir-frying.
The three young masters were so frightened that they panicked and none of them dared to approach the boiler to put out the fire. As a result, the food was burnt and the pot burned through. It was Xie Ji who mustered up his courage and, in a moment of quick thinking, managed to extinguish the fire with a Hand of the God of Cooking.
Ji Shi and Zhou Heyu were utterly useless; they were practically just cheerleaders in the kitchen-blowing operation.
Lu Xunji came out of the kitchen, intending to make a few sarcastic remarks, but when he saw the three black-boiled eggs standing obediently in a row at the door like WiFi antennas, he was instantly speechless.
Why is he arguing with three idiots?
Xie Ji looked up and whispered, " Lu Xunji, um, is there any dinner tonight?"
Lu Xunji glanced at him sideways, and after a long while, asked, "Hungry?"
He ate quite a lot for lunch.
Xie Ji nodded and muttered softly, "I'm sorry, I meant to help but ended up making things worse. I'll take care of everyone's dinner this time, don't be mad at me, I'll clean it up for you in a bit."
Ji Shi coughed, exhaling a puff of black smoke. "Count me in for the dinner points."
Lu Xunji sneered and stared at him, "Still have the nerve to eat?"
Ji Shi instantly became like a duck with its neck choked, not daring to utter a single word.
After Lu Xunji had been holding Xie Ji's hand for quite a while, he finally reacted, staring at Zhou Heyu with wide eyes. "Damn it, why am I afraid of him?"
Zhou Heyu paused for a moment, pointed to the messy kitchen, and said, "Maybe it's because they did something wrong."
Ji Shi: "..."
Then surely I, the eldest young master of the Ji Household, shouldn't be afraid of him?!
Lu Xunji is nothing!
Let alone the Ji Household's higher status than the Lu Household, how many days has Lu Xunji only been back in the wealthy family?
You dare to act tough with me, Young Master Ji?!
This is outrageous!
The next moment, Lu Xunji poked his head out from the second floor and coldly tossed out a sentence: "Are you out of your mind? Stand there waiting for me to feed you dinner? Clean up the kitchen after you take a shower."
Ji Shi: "Okay, okay."
Zhou Heyu, audacious and reckless, gave him a disdainful look.
Ji Shi looked at him and said, "Look at me! This young master can bend and stretch! Go take a bath!"
However, Zhou Heyu and Ji Shi weren't as lucky as Xie Ji, who had a brother named Lu Xunji with a luxurious bedroom and private bathroom. They had to take turns going to the bathhouse prepared by the production team.
The two decided to have a man-to-man battle to decide who would wash first.
In the end, Zhou Heyu's scissors were defeated by Ji Shi Shi's fist, causing him to miss the chance to take a bath first. He could only wait at the entrance of the bathhouse like a piece of charcoal.
As soon as Shang Yan stepped into the courtyard, he sensed that something was amiss.
The burnt smell in the air and the long plumes of black smoke falling from the sky indicated that the entire villa had suffered a devastating blow.
He took two more steps forward, went around the screen wall, and came into the garden, where he successfully saw Zhou Heyu standing at the entrance of the bathhouse.
He and Zhou Heyu exchanged a glance.
Shang Yan: "..."
Zhou Heyu: "..."
Shang Yan: "..."
Zhou Heyu: "..."
Shang Yan: "What are you doing... never mind, I don't understand. I'll just say it straight, are you an idiot?"
Zhou Heyu: "..."
It's very aggressive.
He silently squatted down and covered his face with his hands. "You've mistaken me for someone else. I'm not Zhou Heyu."
Shang Yan: "And who are you?"
Zhou Heyu: "I am Ji Shi."
Shang Yan: "..."
Young people these days really know how to have fun.
If you don't understand or respect me, then get lost.
He walked around Zhou Heyu by three meters and entered the living room, as if low intelligence were contagious.
Half an hour later, Mu Yao returned. He had just seen Zhou Heyu standing at the entrance of the public bathroom and was about to speak when Zhou Heyu interrupted him.
"Hello, not an idiot."
Mu Yao: "... I didn't say you were."
Zhou Heyu: "Thank you."
There are still more good people than bad in the world.
"Ugly bastard." Mu Yao closed his eyes. "You scared my eyes."
Zhou Heyu: "..."
I hate this world.
Mu Yao glanced at the kitchen and said, "Are you guys starting World War III in the kitchen?"
Zhou Heyu turned away without saying a word, deciding not to give the world a friendly look.
Meanwhile, Xie Ji was being forced into the bathtub by Lu Xunji to have his hair washed.
That head of blond hair was already quite thick and long, and when it got greasy with black ash, it was very difficult to wash off.
Xie Ji, dressed, sat cross-legged in the bathtub, letting Lu Xunji's fingers run through his hair and massage it.
As the black sewage was washed away, Xie Ji raised his eyes and secretly glanced at Lu Xunji.
Lu Xunji glanced at him. "What are you looking at?"
"Did I apologize to you?" As he looked up, dirty water from his hair slid down and dripped into his eye, stinging him and making him cry out in pain, "Ouch!"
Lu Xunji removed Xie Ji's hand from his eyes, pulled out a clean wet wipe from the side, and used it to clean the dirty water from Xie Ji Xie Ji's eyes.
Xie Ji, deprived of his sight, raised his head in a daze and reached out to touch Lu Xunji's arm. But as soon as he raised his hand, it felt as if something had hit the back of his hand.
Lu Xunji groaned, his knuckles tightening slightly as he tugged at Lu Xunji's hair, causing a slight pain.
" Lu Xunji?"
The next moment, the hand that was hidden in his hair was pulled away, and the palm that was wet and slippery with foam grasped his wrist, placing Xie Ji's hand on the edge of the bathtub.
"Don't move." Lu Xunji's voice was low and hoarse, as if he was trying his best to endure something.
"I can't see you anymore," Xie Ji muttered to himself, then said, "I'm sorry, are you still angry with me?"
Lu Xunji let out a breath and continued washing Xie Ji's hair, "Do I need to get angry with an idiot?"
Xie Ji smiled, his eyes narrowing slightly. "It's good that you're not angry."
He didn't want the goodwill he had worked so hard to build up to drop again!
Lu Xunji swallowed hard, gently stroking Xie Ji's hair. He lowered his head and could see Xie Ji's slightly raised head and rosy lips.
The act of washing Xie Ji's hair almost stopped abruptly, and it took extreme difficulty to turn my gaze away and force myself to focus on Xie Ji's golden hair.
Xie Ji's beautiful blonde hair didn't even look dyed; even the roots were a very light gold. The hair strands were soft and smooth like silk, and when you got close, you could smell a faint citrus scent.
He didn't tell anyone; he even bought the same perfume and sprayed it on his pillow, fantasizing about falling asleep to the scent of Xie Ji.
Later, he no longer needed it, but the little purse stayed in his arms every night. Although it was a bit of a nuisance, it brought him unparalleled satisfaction.
Xie Ji tilted his head slightly, as if he could feel a warm breeze brushing past his ear.
Lu Xunji seemed to be very good at serving people; he did a great job whether it was cooking for him or washing his hair.
He's so incredibly talented, so amazing, that Xie Ji felt he must have suffered a lot as a child.
He understands the hardship of having to master every skill best. He has traveled from world to world, and all he has had by his side is loneliness.
So much so that over time, he seems to have become accustomed to living with solitude.
But this world is different; this world has Lu Xunji.
Lu Xunji was different; Xie Ji could clearly sense it.
This feeling has nothing to do with anything else; it's more like...
It had been snowing for thousands of years, and Yu Yu was walking alone in the vast world. Suddenly, the sky suddenly appeared in the distance, and after the dust and fog dispersed, he met an old friend.
This feeling brought Xie Ji inexplicable joy.
Because his eyes were blindfolded, he couldn't see the distance between himself and Lu Xunji, so he slightly rose from the water, wanting to get closer to him.
Xie Ji's lips were almost touching Lu Xunji's. Lu Xunji panicked and quickly raised his hand to press Xie Ji's shoulder, stopping him from getting any closer. "... Wait, wait, what are you doing?"
Xie Ji breathed warm air into his ear and whispered, "So comfortable, I like it so much, Lu Xunji."
