I don't care about dating reality shows or the entertainment industry!

Duan Xingye frowned and sneered.

Su Youzi didn't know how much time had passed, but it felt like an eternity.

Duan Xingye barely stopped laughing before asking in a drawn-out tone, "Are you cooking?"

“I am not Su Youzi,” Su Youzi said emotionlessly.

Duan Xingye looked at her and chuckled softly, "Oh, then I'll have to ask the staff what's going on."

Su Youzi relaxed her body dejectedly and said in a sullen voice, "Yes, yes."

Duan Xingye's eyes were full of smugness.

"Didn't you say you couldn't cook? You chopped the meat quite well, didn't you?" The tone was smug.

Su Youzi rolled her eyes at him and said in a defiant tone, "You're playing the delicate character."

Duan Xingye's eyes held a hint of mockery.

"Shouldn't a person who is both elegant in public and skilled in the kitchen be more popular?"

"It's none of your business." Su Youzi had already walked to the cutting board, picked up the knife, and her voice carried a warning tone.

Duan Xingye shook his head. "It's none of my business."

He smiled and chuckled through his nose, "However, I have to tell the other guests that you can cook."

Su Youzi's soft cheeks puffed up slightly, and she stared into her bright, watery eyes like a little wildcat, seemingly very angry.

This is different from the woman he remembers, yet the same at the same time.

interesting.

"What do you want?" Su Youzi raised her chin high.

Duan Xingye raised an eyebrow, looked her up and down, and said slowly, "No bribes allowed?"

Su Youzi was startled and took a step back, crossing her arms and staring at him warily.

Money? Sex?

Don't even think about it!!

The cameras weren't on. Even if he revealed that he can cook, so what? Who would believe him?

Duan Xingye glanced at her and teased, "Your brain seems a little dirty..."

Su Youzi: ? ? ?

Before she could speak, he asked again, "What are you eating?"

Su Youzi was taken aback. "Spaghetti Bolognese."

"Give me one."

Su Youzi pursed her lips and asked uncertainly, "Is this considered a bribe?"

Duan Xingye chuckled and nodded slightly.

Su Youzi breathed a sigh of relief and silently apologized in her heart for her malicious speculation about him.

"Oh."

Duan Xingye walked around to the dining table, faced the island counter, and pulled out a chair to sit down.

Su Youzi sighed helplessly and picked up her double knives again to chop the meat.

After mincing the meat, she poured olive oil into the pot, added the minced pork and beef, and heard a sizzling sound as she scooped out the minced meat.

I poured some more oil into the hot pan, added chopped onions and minced garlic, and sautéed them until fragrant. Then I poured the minced meat that I had just scooped out back into the pan.

Then add chopped carrots, chopped celery, and a piece of butter, and continue to stir-fry.

After stir-frying for a while, pour in tomatoes and tomato sauce, add a little water, sprinkle with salt and black pepper, bay leaves and sugar, stir-fry, then put it in the oven.

Duan Xingye was seated in a position with an excellent view, allowing him to clearly see every step she took.

His movements were swift and professional.

A beautiful kitchen, pleasing to the eye.

"How much noodles do you want?" Su Youzi looked up and asked him.

I'm not very hungry.

Su Youzi gritted her teeth and muttered curses under her breath.

Meanwhile, olive oil and sea salt were poured into the boiling pot, followed by the addition of pasta.

Duan Xingye leaned back lazily in his chair, a smile playing on his lips.

Su Youzi picked up a strand of spaghetti with her chopsticks, took a bite, nodded, and turned off the heat.

Duan Xingye had a slight smile on his face as he took out his phone and snapped a few photos.

Su Youzi glanced at him casually and noticed he was taking pictures. She then angrily pointed a spatula at him.

"Hey~ what are you doing!"

Duan Xingye found her expression amusing and took another picture.

"Delete it!"

Duan Xingye raised his eyebrows slightly, shrugged, and put his phone back in his pocket.

"How could you be like this!" Su Youzi exclaimed in exasperation.

How abominable!

They actually left evidence!!

Wait, that's not right~

Why do you have a cell phone?

Duan Xingye leaned back in his chair, his hands behind his head, and looked at her, saying, "Privilege."

"Hehe..." These days even small dating reality shows have special privileges. Su Youzi frowned and repeated, "Delete it."

Duan Xingye looked amused and softly uttered a "no".

Su Youzi was furious.

This person is so despicable!

She angrily ladled out two bowls of spaghetti, secretly wanting to spit into his bowl!

After her attempts to persuade her to delete the content failed, she resigned herself to her fate.

This guy has me wrapped around his little finger!!

Take the meat sauce out of the oven with a puff of puffs, pour it over the pasta, and add chopped parsley and Parmesan cheese.

He placed the plate in front of Duan Xingye with a blank expression, then slightly increased the pressure, making a loud bang as a sign of his displeasure.

Duan Xingye chuckled and glanced down at the spaghetti on the table.

It looks very appetizing, like something made in a restaurant.

Su Youzi returned to the island counter, picked up her own portion, and sat down diagonally opposite Duan Xingye.

"Your portion... seems to have more meat sauce." Duan Xingye clicked his tongue and raised an eyebrow.

Su Youzi suppressed the fire in her heart.

You're lucky to even have anything to eat!

She forced a smile: "The meat sauce was originally made for one person."

You're the one who stole my portion!

“Then it should be split equally.” Duan Xingye raised an eyebrow.

Su Youzi looked at him speechlessly, "Big brother, I'm so hungry! I only ate two pieces of beef and one meatball for dinner."

"Don't you have a small appetite?" Duan Xingye said with a smirk, his tone sarcastic.

"Personal image! OK!" Su Youzi had no intention of catering to him, nor did she care to gain his favor.

"Why are all the personas you choose so unlikable?" Duan Xingye said, resting his chin on his hand and staring into her eyes. "Don't all female celebrities market themselves as foodies? Being delicate and having a small appetite is outdated."

Su Youzi impatiently switched the two portions of noodles.

"Okay?"

Duan Xingye chuckled, elegantly raised his silver fork, and began to stir.

Su Youzi was so hungry that she stirred it casually and stuffed a bite into her mouth.

After his stomach was filled with food, he finally came back to life.

"There aren't enough ingredients, and the meat sauce wasn't cooked long enough, so please bear with it."

Duan Xingye nodded, gently twirled the noodles with his silver fork, coating them evenly with meat sauce, and elegantly put them into his mouth.

He savored it carefully, and as he chewed, his eyes brightened.

As he ate slowly and deliberately, half of Su Youzi's plate was already left.

Duan Xingye suddenly felt that the woman in front of him was the real her.

He parted his thin lips slightly: "Why did you participate in the dating reality show?"

"To make money," Su Youzi said casually.

"But your performance during the live stream seems to have caused you even greater losses in real life."

Su Youzi sat up straight and said sincerely, "Duan Xingye, I made you spaghetti. Can you keep tonight's events a secret?"

Duan Xingye: "Do you know how to make pan-fried scallops with pea puree?"

"Huh?" Su Youzi found him very strange, as his answer was irrelevant.

"Bribery," Duan Xingye's eyes gleamed with a hint of mockery, "How could one meal be enough?"

Su Youzi closed her eyes, took a deep breath, and suppressed the urge to punch him.

"what do you want?"

"Make me a midnight snack."

Su Youzi hung her head.

After some internal struggle, he nodded in compromise.

"I have one condition: you have to help wash the dishes."

She really hates washing dishes.
