The longed-for village system

Chapter 71 Let's eat instant noodles!

"Hello there!"

"Hello, hello, I'm your biggest fan, I love your songs so much."

Upon seeing Chen Qing reach out, Sun Xiaoxiao immediately reached out to greet him. She was very excited as it was her first time having such close contact with her idol.

"Thank you," Chen Qing replied with a smile, withdrawing her hand before continuing to ask Zhao Xiaogu, "What are your plans for tonight? Have you booked a room?"

"Book a room? Why would you need to book a room? Don't you have some vacant rooms? Xiaoxiao and I can just stay in the vacant room next door."

Zhao Xiaogu had no intention of avoiding suspicion at all. She trusted this man's self-control, and of course, she also had some expectations.

It wasn't that she expected anything to happen between her and Chen Qing; at least before establishing a relationship, she would absolutely not let Chen Qing take advantage of her. She just wanted the media to see it and fuel the fire.

Since Zhao Xiaogu doesn't mind, Chen Qing doesn't mind either. Besides, with two women around, no one else will misunderstand that they have a relationship.

"Okay! I'll tidy up the room later, and that's where you'll sleep tonight. Have you had dinner yet?"

Seeing that the two looked travel-worn, Chen Qing asked them with concern. As the host, he felt it wouldn't be right to let his guests go hungry. Of course, he was just being polite.

Zhao Xiaogu said she was just waiting for Chen Qing to say this, and when he brought it up, she immediately put on a pitiful look and said, "No! I'm starving right now, Brother Chen, can you cook something for me?"

Seeing Zhao Xiaogu acting so softly and coquettishly, Sun Xiaoxiao couldn't help but shudder. Was this really the cousin she knew? How could she be so timid and feminine?

Cooking? Chen Qing immediately shook his head and refused.

What a joke! With his cooking skills, how could anyone eat this? One bite would make someone throw up. If she ate it, she'd be in the ICU.

"For your safety, let's forget about it! I'm afraid you'll have to lie down and go to the hospital after you eat it."

"What?! Don't lie to me, okay? With your knife skills, how could you not know how to cook? If you don't want to cook for me, just say so."

Zhao Xiaogu had personally witnessed this man's knife skills, and she didn't believe that someone with such knife skills couldn't cook.

"When have I ever lied to you? I really can't cook. If you don't believe me, come inside and see if I have any seasonings in my kitchen."

Seeing Chen Qing's serious expression, Zhao Xiaogu was still slightly suspicious. She turned around and ran into the kitchen to check, only to find that there was really nothing in the kitchen.

There were no essential seasonings like oil, vinegar, or MSG; the only seasoning present was salt, which looked like it hadn't been touched in ages. "Seriously? You really can't cook?"

After walking around, Zhao Xiaogu began to believe that Chen Qing really couldn't cook. However, she was still amazed by his knife skills. How could someone who couldn't cook have such good knife skills?

"That's right! Didn't I say from the beginning that I can't cook anything except for terrible cooking? My knife skills are only because I have other skills."

Well! Zhao Xiaogu was slightly disappointed. She had thought she would be in for a treat after they got married, but it turned out that this man really couldn't cook.

In the end, the three of them could only fill their stomachs with instant noodles. Chen Qing, who couldn't cook, naturally didn't have any ingredients at home, and the market had already closed for the day. There were no restaurants in the village where they could eat out.

As they ate their instant noodles, Zhao Xiaogu and Sun Xiaoxiao felt a pang of disappointment. They had come all this way only to be able to eat instant noodles, a far cry from the lavish feasts and delicacies they had imagined.

"Cough! I didn't expect that after coming all this way, I could only eat instant noodles. You owe me a big meal. You have to make it up to me next time," Zhao Xiaogu said to Chen Qing while eating instant noodles.

Chen Qing felt somewhat embarrassed about this. After all, they had come from afar, and even if he didn't treat them to a big meal, he should at least have some home-cooked food. It was indeed a poor hospitality of him to serve them instant noodles like this. People might think that Chen Qing was stingy!
Hearing Zhao Xiaogu's complaints, Chen Qing nodded in agreement, "No problem, I'll treat you to something delicious next time you come over."

"Okay, then it's a date."

Zhao Xiaogu was secretly delighted. This man wasn't too stupid; he even knew to ask her out. It seemed she wouldn't need to rack her brains for excuses next time.

Compared to Zhao Xiaogu's seriousness about food, Sun Xiaoxiao is obviously not so concerned about food, or rather, she cares more about when her idol can take a photo with her and when he can sing again.

So when Chen Qing finished eating, he immediately put down his fork, stood up, and invited, "Brother Chen, can I take a picture with you? I really like you so much."

Chen Qing initially thought Sun Xiaoxiao was just being polite, but he didn't expect her to be such a fan. Of course, he had no reason to refuse her request.

Zhao Xiaogu took on the role of photographer, snapping several photos of the man and her cousin together. Seeing her cousin's happy expression, she felt a little jealous.

"Wait, I want to take a picture with you too. Xiaoxiao, can you take the picture for us?"

After taking five or six photos, Zhao Xiaogu handed her phone to Sun Xiaoxiao, and then, without saying a word, grabbed Chen Qing's hand and started posing for various photos.

Holding hands, hooking arms, making heart shapes, and so on—she asked for a photo of every pose imaginable. Chen Qing could only obediently cooperate; there was no way around it—when a woman acts coquettishly, it's just too irresistible, especially when she's beautiful.
