Xie Ji stood up and saw Lu Xunji's arm, wrapped in gauze, casually draped over the stone table, with even a few drops of blood seeping out.
"Wait a moment, I'll go find you some ointment," Xie Ji said, turning and walking towards the bedroom.
Lu Xunji pursed his lips, but didn't say anything more sarcastic. He lowered his eyes and stared at the two puppies without saying a word.
After Xie Ji left, only A-Gang A-Qiang, and Lu Xunji remained in the courtyard.
The two dogs and one person suddenly stared at each other. When A-Qiang met Lu Xunji's gaze, he whimpered, tucked his tail between his legs, and shrank into the enclosure, not daring to even peek out.
A-Gang was quite bold. He hesitated for half a minute before timidly sidling up to Lu Xunji, turning his belly up at Lu Xunji's feet in a gesture of submission.
It seemed to understand canine social dynamics better than A-Qiang, knowing that the house it was currently living in was personally built by Lu Xunji, so it wanted to curry favor with him.
Lu Xunji narrowed his eyes, a hint of disgust flashing in them, but he quickly suppressed it and gently kicked A-Gang was rubbing against his trouser leg, aside.
A-Gang rolled twice on the ground, covered in mud, but dared not shake it, trembling as he tucked his tail between his legs.
"Go back."
A-Gang let out a howl and quickly ran into the fence, huddling together with A-Qiang.
Not long after, Shang Yan and the others returned to the villa. Xie Ji came out with ointment and iodine to apply medicine to Lu Xunji.
Ji Shi felt a sour smell rise in his back teeth Ji Shi he saw Lu Xunji, and took the ointment from Xie Ji's hand to do it for him.
"It's just applying medicine, I'm very good at it. Besides, you've been away from the villa for so long, don't you go check on your cattle, sheep, chickens, and ducks in the shed?"
Xie Ji thought about it and realized it made sense. He was indeed a little worried that the cattle and sheep sheds would fall into chaos if he was away for a few days. So he shoved the medicine bottle into Ji Shi's arms and said with great trust, "Then be gentle."
Lu Xunji, sitting beside him, lifted his eyelids, glanced indifferently at Ji Shi turned his purplish-red eyes to Xie Ji and whispered, "I don't want anyone else."
There seemed to be a hint of grievance in his tone.
Ji Shi chuckled, "So you've really become a princess, bro? 'I don't want anyone else~' It's me, take it or leave it."
Without saying a word, Lu Xunji got up and went into the room, his face showing disdain for Ji Shi 'Ji Shi bad luck.
Ji Shi stood outside, glaring helplessly. "Damn, such a temper, huh? I'm the young master of the Ji Household, is it wrong of me to apply medicine to him?"
Xie Ji sighed, "Never mind, I'll go check on the breeding area first. You can leave the medicine there for now; I'll come back and get it for him later."
After saying that, he hurriedly got up and went to the breeding area he was in charge of.
Although the production team arranged for someone to help feed and clean the shed while he was away for the past few days, the shed still looked a bit dirty and messy, and the feeding ratio was different from when Xie Ji was there.
Xie Ji could only roll up his sleeves and get to work. He worked hard to take care of the animals in the breeding area, and by then it was already sunset. Xie Ji wiped the sweat from his face and finally returned to his villa with peace of mind.
Everyone had finished their daily tasks and gathered in the courtyard to discuss who would cook dinner that evening.
Lu Xunji, the only one in the entire villa who could cook, had been honorably injured. The rest were a group of young masters who never lifted a finger in the kitchen. Apart from being able to boil a bowl of plain water, they couldn't do anything else.
Xie Ji had no choice but to summon the " Hand of the God of Cooking " and take on the heavy responsibility of cooking.
"You cook?" Shang Yan paused for a moment, then said, "If I remember correctly, you were responsible for the kitchen burning down last time, weren't you? Is this kitchen really going to burn down today?"
Xie Ji snorted, "Mind your own business, young master."
Ji Shi and Zhou Heyu exchanged a glance.
Ever since they burned a pot together with Xie Ji last time, the two young masters had developed a slight aversion to entering the kitchen. This time, they really didn't dare to fool around with Xie Ji again, and could only advise, "Why don't you just forget it? We can wait for the points shop to open and buy some bread or instant noodles to make do for a few meals. It's too dangerous, Xie Ji, don't go."
Xie Ji ignored him, washed his hands, and went into the kitchen.
[ Xie Ji is going to ruin things again. Our Little Lu will come out soon and break everything. This is the kitchen he worked so hard to decorate!]
[To be honest, I think Xie Ji being a bit too disrespectful to Lu Xunji. He burned down Lu Xunji's kitchen last time, which was forgivable given his desire to help despite not knowing how to cook. But now that he knows he's a kitchen disaster, he still tries to act tough. Isn't that a bit annoying?]
[He probably just wanted to create a persona of being an all-rounder, but unfortunately, not everyone is Lu Xunji. He's truly experienced hardship. What does Xie Ji have to compete with him?]
[People were just trying to be kind by Xie Ji; they didn't want everyone to go hungry and eat junk food. Little Ji Baby so kind! The production team knew Lu Xunji was injured and couldn't cook, yet they still didn't provide dinner. The production team is awful!]
[Don't take on a job you're not qualified for. How many times does this guy have to embarrass himself before he understands this?]
Who's going to eat the food he makes? How will he take responsibility if everyone gets food poisoning? If it were me, I'd rather go hungry than eat a single bite of his cooking!
Seeing that they couldn't stop Xie Ji, the few people in the courtyard could only grit their teeth and risk their lives to accompany him, wanting to go in and live and die with Xie Ji.
As a result, they were all driven out by Xie Ji.
During the hour that Xie Ji was cooking, Ji Shi paced back and forth like a husband waiting to give birth outside the delivery room, glancing every now and then at the kitchen where flames were blazing.
Mu Yao sat on the sofa. "Can you stop spinning around like a top that's been whipped?"
Ji Shi asked anxiously, "What is Xie Ji doing in there? It's been an hour!"
"Don't worry, I've already contacted the medical team," Shang Yan reassured in his gentle voice. "Whether Xie Ji poisons himself to death or we are poisoned by Xie Ji, as long as we have a breath left, we can live."
Zhou Heyu: "..."
An hour and a half later, Xie Ji opened the kitchen door and walked out, his face covered in smoke and soot.
Ji Shi quickly comforted her, " Little Ji, it's okay. I'll eat whatever you make, whether it's edible or not. If it's really inedible, we can eat instant noodles. Don't make things difficult for yourself..."
Xie Ji coughed lightly. "The food is ready, cough cough, go in and get it... I'll go upstairs and call Lu Xunji for dinner."
Why didn't anyone tell him that even with the Hand of the God of Cooking, hot oil will still splatter on you?
Xie Jiaojiao skin, but now her hands are covered in red welts from the hot oil splattering on them.
After Xie Ji went upstairs, everyone entered the kitchen with some skepticism.
Although our Chef Xie doesn't know how to turn on the range hood while cooking, and his used dishes, chopsticks, and seasonings are piled up haphazardly on the counter, there are indeed five dishes and a soup on the counter, each with its own distinct color, aroma, and flavor, emitting an enticing fragrance.
