Qiao Xi declined his offer with a grateful heart, "My mom makes it, and you can't buy it anywhere else."

Du Xinyu couldn't understand what was said. He said as a matter of course, "Then why don't you ask your mother to make some for you? Can you do the same thing yourself?"

Hearing this, Qiao Xi paused for a moment as she prepared the ingredients. A hint of longing crossed her face as she said, "If she were still alive, she would definitely cook for me if I wanted to eat this."

"She..." Du Xinyu wasn't stupid enough not to understand what she meant. After realizing what she meant, he subconsciously apologized to her, "Yes, I'm sorry."

Qiao Xi was a little surprised to hear his apology. "Oh, so our little cousin knows how to apologize."

Du Xinyu instantly puffed out his chest and tightened his stomach as he replied, "Tsk, I'm also a reasonable person, okay?"

Qiao Xi knew that he was actually kind-hearted, but his mind was sometimes a little simple and his mouth was also very rude.

"There's no need to apologize for this kind of thing." Qiao Xi said with relief, "Since ancient times, everyone has to die. Let's leave behind a painting to record history."

Du Xinyu gave her another disdainful look, "You make it sound like you've become indifferent to life and death."

While Aunt Liu was out shopping, Qiao Xi didn't have anything to prepare, so she took a can of beer from the refrigerator and gestured to Du Xinyu, "Do you want some?"

Du Xinyu took it after hesitating for a moment, and Qiao Xi took another bottle, and the two of them started to drink and chat in the kitchen.

Qiao Xi continued his previous words, "It's not that I'm indifferent to life and death, but none of us knows what will happen tomorrow. We can't predict which will come first, the accident or the surprise."

"So!" Du Xinyu said solemnly, "We should enjoy life while we can!"

Qiao Xi immediately gave him an admiring look, "Wow, you live life quite thoroughly."

Du Xinyu was so proud when he heard Qiao Xi praising him. "That's right, that's exactly why I opposed the marriage. You said I'd be bound by marriage at such a young age. How pitiful I would be."

Qiao Xi looked down on him and said, "I don't think you're asking me to marry you right now. I just want you to meet and get to know each other. If it's a good match, we can have a relationship. If it's not..."

"Stop it, stop it." Du Xinyu retorted, unable to accept it. "Why are you in such a prime time now, why are you dating? You'd better eat well, sleep well and have fun with this time."

Qiao Xi suddenly remembered something and asked, "You haven't graduated from college yet, right?"

Du Xinyu nodded and said, "Yes, I'm a senior this year."

"So you are... skipping classes now?" Qiao Xi almost forgot about this. In his previous life, he was thrown out by Qi Jincheng, so Qiao Xi didn't know him that well.

Du Xinyu said nonchalantly, "What's the big deal? I haven't been to classes many times."

Qiao Xi, “…”

He looks like an ugly rich young master who has nothing to do, is idle and does not work.

"So you usually just eat, drink and have fun?" Qiao Xi asked deliberately.

Du Xinyu thought about it and nodded: "About the same."

Qiao Xi smiled politely and gave him a thumbs up, "You're quite promising."

Du Xinyu said proudly, "It's a must."

Qiao Xi was speechless for a moment. She didn't know whether he was truly proud or joking. But judging from his expression, he didn't seem to be joking.

After a moment of silence, Qiao Xi asked him again, "Does your mother know you are here?"

Du Xinyu said confidently, "Of course I don't know. If you knew, you would definitely come to me."

"If I were your mother, I would definitely not come to you." Qiao Xi gave him a very affirmative answer with a smile.

At the moment when Du Xinyu gave him a puzzled look, she gave him five more words, "It's probably useless."

Du Xinyu was stunned for a moment, then shouted at her, "Hey, what do you mean?"

But at this moment Qiao Xi had already left the kitchen. She wanted to see if Aunt Liu had returned.

The steps of making flower cakes were still very complicated for her, and it was already dark when she was done.

Qi Jin called in advance to say that he would be home late and would not be back for dinner, so Qiao Xi hurriedly finished her dinner and continued to make her flower cakes so that she could take them to the cemetery early tomorrow morning.

Du Xinyu was originally playing games, but when he smelled the fragrance coming from the kitchen, he couldn't help but run over.

When he walked to the kitchen door, the aroma simply tempted his appetite.

Although he had just had dinner half an hour ago, when he saw the flower cakes that Qiao Xi had just taken out of the oven, he quietly stretched out his thieving hand, but was slapped away by Qiao Xi when he was about to touch it.

Du Xinyu immediately shouted, "Sister-in-law, don't be so stingy."

Qiao Xi originally didn't want to give him the food, but when she heard him call her "sister-in-law," she changed her mind. "It's fresh out of the pot, Tie Shou?"

Du Xinyu changed her 'complaining' demeanor and said with a smile, "I've been tough since I was a kid, so I'm not afraid."

Qiao Xi didn't stop him anymore, "Then do as you please."

Du Xinyu reached out to grab it in a hurry, and ended up getting burned. To hide his embarrassment, he smiled foolishly, "It's really a bit hot."

"No one is trying to snatch the food from you, so eat slowly." Qiao Xi is not a stingy person, and this is the first dish she made. She doesn't know how it will taste, so she just lets him try it out.

After blowing on it a few times, Du Xinyu decisively took a bite, then his face changed drastically and he spat it out, saying, "It's so salty."

"Is it salty?" Qiao Xi tasted it in disbelief, and it was indeed a bit salty.

After failing the first set, she immediately made a second one.

After it came out of the oven, she took the initiative to invite Du Xinyu to taste it, "Would you like to try it again?"

Du Xinyu was a little bit unconvinced, but the smell was really fragrant, so he dared to try it again, "Pah, it's too sweet."

Qiao Xi immediately started the third dish and after finishing it, she let Du Xinyu taste it again. Du Xinyu had obviously lost confidence in her, but under Qiao Xi's repeated invitation, he still wanted to give it a try...

"Why is it bitter?" Du Xinyu looked at her with a face full of doubt about life.

Qiao Xi also felt that it didn't make sense. After thinking about it carefully, she finally knew what went wrong.

With the skilled cooking techniques from the previous times, this dish was quickly prepared. When she wanted to find Du Xinyu to "test the poison" again, she discovered that he was about to sneak upstairs.

Qiao Xi quickly called out to him, "Little cousin."

Du Xinyu's face was filled with the desire to survive, and Qiao Xi quickly comforted him, "I promise it will be delicious this time."

"I'm full." Du Xinyu said hurriedly.
