"Wow, Captain! Did the sun rise in the west today? You made so many dishes!!" Hongying sat at the dining table, looking at the colorful, fragrant, and delicious dishes in front of her...

"Sweet and sour fish, braised pork ribs, braised pork belly, bone broth, tomato and egg soup, boiled shrimp, and a few other home-style stir-fries! Is it someone's birthday today? I didn't know that!"

Chen Muyi turned off the range hood, reached down and took off the apron around his waist, pretending to be angry and said, "What? Can't I cook this many dishes just because it's not someone's birthday?"

"No, no, I knew the captain was the best!" Hongying immediately ran to Chen Muye's side with a smile and helped him put the apron in the kitchen.

"Alright, dinner's ready!" Chen Muyi called out as he set out the dishes on the table.

The once sparsely populated dining table was instantly filled with people, and even Ling Yue, who was eating there for the first time, found a seat next to Hong Ying. Even the usually worldly-wise Chen Muyi was taken aback by this scene. He then took the seat reserved for the team leader and cook.

"I wonder how long it's been since the captain cooked a meal himself," Si Xiaonan muttered to herself, sitting on the other side of Hongying.

"Ahem~ I'm going to have dinner at Shudao Mountain..." Chen Muye looked at the menacing crowd, wondering if his decision to cook today was the right one or the wrong one.

"one!"

......

"Three!" Chen Muyi put so much effort into getting the first piece of braised pork rib that he didn't even count to two before picking up his chopsticks and grabbing the rib.

Ling Yue, who was well-prepared, picked up a piece of braised pork with alternating layers of fat and lean meat and no skin. The others also used their special skills.

Si Xiaonan used her cuteness to beg for food: "Sister Hongying, I want to eat ribs~"

"Okay, I'll get you some!"

"Sister Hongying, I want to eat shrimp~"

"Okay, I'll peel it for you!"

"Sister Hongying~......"

"That Hongying is such a loser!" Ling Yue thought to himself, mocking Hongying. But not long after, "Brother Ling Yue, I want to eat braised pork!"

Si Xiaonan stared intently at Ling Yue with her big, bright eyes, as if she would cry if he didn't serve her some...

stare--

stare--

"Okay, I'll get you some." Ling Yue reluctantly picked out two pieces of braised pork from the plate in front of him and placed them in Si Xiaonan's bowl.

"Mmm~ Brother Lingyue~" Si Xiaonan's voice was tinged with grievance and a sob that sounded like she was about to cry. The people around her couldn't bear to watch anymore.

"Ling Yue, you—" Before Hong Ying and Wen Qimo could finish speaking, "Alright, alright!"

Ling Yue placed the braised pork he had taken directly in front of Si Xiaonan, "Hehe~ Brother Ling Yue is so nice~" ☆*: .?. o(≧▽≦)o .?.:*☆

However, Ling Yue seemed not to hear her, muttering, "My favorite braised pork, my braised pork..."

........

In the afternoon, Chen Muye specially approved Ling Yue's temporary exemption from the assessment, allowing him to prioritize completing the task of recruiting Lin Qiye with Zhao Kongcheng. He also prepared some extra food for Ling Yue to take to Zhao Kongcheng.

Meanwhile, they continued their search for the two escaped Ghost Kings. Why two? The answer is the butterfly effect.

"Damn it, how come there's only one dish in here?? And so little rice!!" Ling Yue brought the lunchbox to Zhao Kongcheng, who was still waiting for Lin Qiye at the gate of the Second Middle School.

Zhao Kongcheng opened the opaque lunchbox and saw that there were only a few scraps left... "Tell me! Did you steal some food?!" Zhao Kongcheng was heartbroken. It was like he had been waiting for Lin Qiye all day and couldn't find him, only to find that Lin Qiye had taken leave!

After all, they hadn't had a meal cooked by the captain in a long time, and not only did they miss it this time, but the only meal the captain had prepared for him was stolen by Lao Liu!

"Hehe, I've had a tough journey, is it alright if I eat some of your food?" Ling Yue wiped the vegetable oil still stuck to the corner of his mouth.

"Hey Lao Zhao, don't be angry. I bought you one too, here." Ling Yue took out a hot... Jianbing Guozi from the Five Spirit Lock.

Zhao Kongcheng got even angrier when he saw the jianbing guozi. "You little brat, I'm here early—" Before Zhao Kongcheng could finish speaking, Ling Yue opened the jianbing guozi, letting Zhao Kongcheng see what was inside.

The crepes were pale yellow, and inside there was no lettuce, no crispy crackers, just large shrimp and various chicken and beef cutlets...

"How about it, Lao Zhao? Have you ever seen this kind of jianbing guozi? It has an ostrich egg-shaped outer skin, and inside it's full of real deep-sea shrimp and various kinds of precious beef and chicken." Ling Yue introduced to Zhao Kongcheng, then took out a peeled shrimp from the Five Elements Lock space and stuffed it into his mouth.

"Cough cough, I knew you were a loyal friend! I knew I hadn't misjudged you. You know, when have I, Old Zhao, ever eaten something this fancy?" Zhao Kongcheng reached out and snatched the jianbing guozi (Chinese crepe) and stuffed it into his mouth.

Ling Yue watched him eat from the side. This was the most handsome man in the whole book, willing to give his life for someone he had only known for a few days... "Are you still waiting for Lin Qiye at the school gate? He took the day off today."

"Wh...cough cough, what??" Zhao Kongcheng choked upon hearing Ling Yue's words, then forced himself to swallow the food in his mouth while suppressing his cough.

"I told you Lin Qiye took the day off and isn't at school." Ling Yue wanted to laugh at Zhao Kongcheng's expression, but he held it in.

"Damn it, this kid... wait, you just laughed, didn't you?" Zhao Kongcheng was about to curse when he saw Ling Yue suppressing a laugh.

"No, I was just thinking about happy things."

"Tell me what's making you happy so I can share in the joy."

"He was just a fool who waited all day for someone to come to him but no one showed up... Hahaha!" Ling Yue finally couldn't help but burst into laughter.

"You son of a bitch!"

...........

Nighttime, inside Lingyue Villa—

"Old Zhao! You're going to stick with me and guard A-site! Just guard A-site, and charge straight up with me!" Ling Yue and Zhao Kongcheng were sitting in a row.

"I asked you if you still have anyone else, what are you talking about?! It's all nonsense!"

Ling Yue instantly turned red and began to overpower Zhao Kongcheng using his initial-stage Pool Realm physical abilities. After finishing the fight, he continued to sit in his chair.

"Follow me up the path in a bit, hurry up!"

Zhao Kongcheng, standing to the side, felt extremely aggrieved, "Now I want to camp out with Lin Qiye..."

"What are you waiting for, Lin Qiye? He's going to school tomorrow, why are you still waiting for Lin Qiye! Say it again and see what happens!" Ling Yue stood up and used his golden element to point at Zhao Kongcheng beside him.

Zhao Kongcheng instantly obeyed. "Take the side path, take the side path, I won't say anything more..."
