Chapter 1039: 1025: Little Chef

Chapter 1039: Chapter 1025: Little ChefYou know, there’s actually a sort of little chef vibe going on here. This is actually the first time Shen Ruoqiu cooked, and even Shen Ruoqiu herself didn’t expect that she’d cook for a man. When she saw Su Xuan unhappy, she wanted to make him a little happier.

But at this moment, the two girls were holding kitchen knives, not knowing what to do. In fact, these girls who never had to do housework were genuinely clueless about the first steps at this moment. Shu Xin was holding the kitchen knife, wondering how to kill that carp.

“Xiaoqiu, suddenly, I feel sorry for this fish. Look at its deep gaze staring at me, as if it’s saying, ‘Pretty lady, please don’t kill me, I’ll dance for you, don’t hurt the baby fish, baby fish is scared of pain.’

“Um… Shu, if you’re afraid to kill the fish, just say so. Scientists have said that fish only have a seven-second memory; they don’t have the brain for that. Otherwise, caught fish wouldn’t keep getting hooked again and again.”

Shen Ruoqiu said weakly, feeling speechless about her sister’s vivid imagination.

“Ladies, need some help?” Just when the two ladies were at a loss, Su Xuan lazily walked in. Upon seeing Su Xuan, Shu was overjoyed and immediately rushed to Su Xuan’s side, excitedly saying.

“We need it, we really need it. Bodyguard, could you help me kill the fish? I can’t bear it. Look how innocent and cute I am, killing fish feels a bit brutish, doesn’t it?” Shu found a very dramatic excuse for her cowardice.

“Shu, honestly, I used to think I was pretty thick-skinned, but after meeting you, I realized there’s a huge gap between us. Your skin is on a whole new level,” Su Xuan teased with a wicked smile and then said.

“Give me the knife. Let me show you how a master handles fish today.” Su Xuan said, reaching out with two fingers of his left hand, quickly grabbing the fish. As he tossed the fish into the air, he dramatically slashed with the kitchen knife, and the next scene left the two ladies speechless, as they watched him constantly swing the knife. As the long knife in his hand kept cleaving through the air, scales flew off the fish one by one, leaving the ladies stunned when they saw it.

“Xiaoqiu, am I hallucinating? Is this guy really that amazing? How is he doing this?” Watching this, Shu Xin couldn’t help but wonder if she was hallucinating. Gosh, it’s unbelievable; this guy isn’t a master chef, is he? Didn’t he previously downplay his skills, saying he could only make fried rice? Now he seems even more awe-inspiring than the Cooking God played by Chow Sing Chi.

Actually, no matter how things change, some fundamentals remain the same. For a master like Su Xuan, knife skills and swordsmanship belong to the same realm. When Su Xuan practiced swordsmanship with the Military God, the test was to toss a pig’s trotter into the air and before it landed, separate the meat and bones. That was truly challenging, and the current situation wasn’t difficult for Su Xuan.

However, Su Xuan is fundamentally lazy. He has no interest in cooking. In Su Xuan’s view, men aren’t born to cook. Although, in this era, men must learn to cook, Su Xuan doesn’t feel cooking is a man’s duty.

Saying this might be a bit unfair to women, who might argue that it suggests women are naturally destined to cook, but why should they?

Su Xuan wants to say it’s simply how most people are, not everyone, because subjective thoughts don’t represent everyone’s ideas.

Su Xuan genuinely believes the life pressure women face is generally less than men’s, so cooking is more of a task for women, and men should act like men. It’s not about male chauvinism.

This circles back to Su Xuan’s previous theory: a good woman isn’t created by being spoiled, but by being guided. Women who are spoiled become unruly and unreasonable, bluntly put, they don’t know priorities.

Su Xuan knew a girl who was truly virtuous before finding a boyfriend. Not only was she beautiful, but she was also sophisticated and an excellent cook.

Then she got together with someone who was the epitome of a good man, claimed to be adept both in the social circle and the kitchen. He used to say, ‘My girlfriend should be radiant. A man who can’t cook isn’t a good man.’

So while pursuing the girl, he searched Baidu daily for various tasty recipes to impress her. Although the girl could cook, seeing her boyfriend’s delicious meals, she naturally left those tasks to him. People are inherently lazy, simply put, that’s all there is to it.

The girl gradually considered her boyfriend cooking as a given. Cooking doesn’t take much time, but men, for the most part, focus on their careers and don’t have much time and energy to spend on cooking.

After the honeymoon phase, the man’s relationship with his girlfriend settled into its original calmness. So the man naturally felt his girlfriend should cook while he focused on his career. If there’s no money, even family might look down on you.

Thus, a sense of disparity arose. The woman felt the man didn’t love her anymore because he no longer cooked for her and said he had changed. This is the fundamental difference between men and women. Women are emotional creatures, men are rational creatures. As long as their girlfriend doesn’t cheat on them, men generally understand. After all, a person’s life can’t revolve around their partner 24/7. To live, one must strive, and focusing on just one person shows a lack of ambition.

But it’s different for women. Women tend to be more romantic; many women think a man should be wealthy and understanding of romance.
