Chapter 1041: 1027: Treated to Long Crawfish

Chapter 1041: Chapter 1027: Treated to Long CrawfishAs Su Xuan entered the room and picked up his phone, he saw it was a call from Li Qingxue, and he was curious.

“Hey, Beauty, what’s up?” Su Xuan wondered to himself whether Beauty Li wanted to interview him again.

“Haha, Su Xuan, did you read my report? Ah, I’m so proud of my writing skills now. In just a few hours, it got over one hundred thousand clicks. Hahaha, Su Xuan, I’m inviting you to dinner. I’m just so happy.”

Li Qingxue seemed genuinely happy, calling herself “sis” repeatedly, which left Su Xuan feeling a bit bemused, thinking, “You little trickster, calling yourself ‘sis’ when you’re only twenty-six, right? I’m older than you, so don’t try to act like you’re my elder.”

“Haha, then I won’t hold back. I heard the Sofiel Hotel in Sunan is pretty good. How about we go there?” Su Xuan said mischievously.

“… Su Xuan, it’s not like I haven’t told you, we need to be more mindful of the general public’s lifestyle. I know a great street food stall and I’ll treat you to some crayfish. I guarantee you’ll love it.” Li Qingxue thought to herself, “You cheeky rascal, I was just being polite, and you actually want me to take you to Sofiel Hotel? That place charges two hundred yuan for a plate of radish and twenty-five for a glass of water. Isn’t that a waste of money?”

“Uh… crayfish, didn’t they say it’s not safe to eat because of parasites?” Su Xuan said with a mischievous smile, imagining Li Qingxue’s reaction to him asking her to take him to Sofiel Hotel, and secretly feeling giddy about it.

Su Xuan knew that Li Qingxue’s family wasn’t very well-off, so he was just joking with her.

“Oh, don’t say that. I was quite interested, but now that you’ve said it, I don’t want to eat anymore. Are you coming or not? I’m being very sincere.” Li Qingxue said with a smile. Her recently published report on Su Xuan had skyrocketed in clicks within a short time, earning her not only praise but also a few thousand-yuan reward, which made her feel quite proud.

“We’ll see. If I’m in a good mood later, I’ll come out for some.” Su Xuan said with a mischievous grin, while Li Qingxue was speechless, thinking, “I’m a beauty, alright? Many people line up hoping to treat me to a meal, and here I am genuinely inviting you, only for you to say ‘we’ll see’. That’s just the pits. But many times, it’s this casual attitude of Su Xuan’s that Li Qingxue finds fascinating.”

When Su Xuan hung up the phone and returned to the dining room, he was speechless because there was not even a drop of soup left in the dish of fish. Shu had directly put her rice on the plate and was eating with great relish.

“Hey, Shu, I haven’t eaten yet,” Su Xuan felt frustrated. “Are these two girls that hungry as if they’ve been resurrected from starvation? I just took a call, and there’s not even soup left. Aren’t you being a bit much?”

“Cough, cough, I forgot. Oh, bodyguard, look at this. I’m really sorry, it was just too delicious, and I couldn’t help it. I’ll make you some stir-fried eggs with chilies, which I’m really good at.”

Shu seemed a bit embarrassed, patted her belly, and then went to the kitchen. Su Xuan clicked his tongue, thinking, “I should’ve gone to eat crayfish earlier. I actually feel a bit hungry. It’s really frustrating; that fish looked pretty big. It should’ve been enough for the three of us.”

“Ta-da! How is it? My stir-fried eggs with chilies. Aren’t they amazing, Su Xuan? Aren’t you impressed with me? Haha, for a magnificent young lady like me, who can both grace a ballroom and whip up a storm in the kitchen, I’m starting to admire myself.”

Shu said with a self-admiring tone, and Su Xuan rolled his eyes because when he saw the dish of stir-fried eggs with chilies in front of him, he felt like he was about to faint. Could this even be called stir-fried eggs with chilies? The chilies were put in whole and seemed uncooked, and as for the eggs, Su Xuan couldn’t tell if there was too much soy sauce or what, but they hadn’t been mixed properly before being thrown into the pan. Looking at it made him at a loss for words. Su Xuan was speechless, thinking, “Could you make something a bit more normal?”

“Eat, bodyguard, this is a token of my sincerity. It’s delicious, and many men wouldn’t even have the blessing to taste it,” Shu said, her tone as if she were like a maternal grandmother, extolling her own virtues. Shen Ruoqiu, off to the side, was genuinely speechless, thinking, “Shu, could you not be so self-absorbed?” But encountering someone as self-admiring as Su Xuan, Shen Ruoqiu found it somewhat understandable. When two self-admiring individuals come together, they really are experts, aren’t they?

“Bodyguard, why aren’t you eating? Aren’t you hungry?” Shu asked with a concerned expression, then continued.

“You really should eat dinner, otherwise it’s bad for your stomach. Look at you, as skinny as a monkey. Eat something and try my cooking,” Shu said, eager for Su Xuan to taste her culinary skills. Looking at this girl, Su Xuan felt truly frustrated, thinking, “Where did she get the confidence that her dish is delicious?” But he knew that Shu was earnest and wasn’t trying to mess with him on purpose.

Little did anyone know, the source of Shu’s confidence came from having watched Su Xuan cook in the kitchen. She had memorized his process, thinking that if whatever he made was good, then hers should be no less delicious. At this moment, she couldn’t even bear to eat it herself but wanted Su Xuan to happily enjoy it.

“Ahem, I actually don’t like stir-fried eggs with chilies. I prefer stir-fried eggs with tomatoes, and I know you wanted to make tomatoes with eggs, but you’ve worked so hard already, how about I do it myself? Shu, you sit tight.” Su Xuan said, quickly heading to the kitchen, thinking, “If I let her make stir-fried eggs with tomatoes, she’d probably toss in the whole tomato and fry it with the eggs.”

You can only say this girl is quite confounding. Sometimes Su Xuan wonders if today’s women have all stopped learning how to cook. Su Xuan seriously suspects that many women can’t cook, which he finds frustrating. In his view, it’s not a good trend. Currently, parents are young and can cook at home, but what about the future? Will everyone just eat at restaurants? That’s not practical, and it could lead to more bizarre illnesses.
