In the novel "Joy of Life," the protagonist wakes up at Li Chengze's residence.

"Could this be... a superpower?" Tao Jingyang came to his senses from what had just happened.

Thinking about it carefully, it doesn't seem quite right.

Otherwise, how could I have missed all those subtle sounds before, only hearing the sound of them returning to the manor just now?

What else could it be but a superpower? If it weren't a superpower, how could this guy have such far-reaching hearing?

No, not even one tenth of a ...

Tao Jingyang paced around the room three times in a panic, trying to figure out when he discovered he had the ability to hear things from afar.

I think I didn't eat enough porridge just now, and I was about to go out... but before I could go out, I heard the sound of a carriage.

Tao Jingyang's gaze drifted unconsciously to the untouched dish of side dishes as he pondered his thoughts.

"It can't be related to food, buddy, does this sound right?"

Tao Jingyang thought to himself, but he still walked to the table honestly, reached out his paw, picked up the chopsticks, and ate two bites of the side dish.

The action was completed in one smooth motion; if it had been any slower, the host eating the side dishes would have felt ashamed of his absurd idea.

Tao Jingyang had just eaten the side dishes and hadn't even gone through the digestion process yet when he suddenly realized that he seemed to have become a little more alert and perceptive.

There was still no sound from the main hall. Only a slight rustling of leaves in the wind.

!! ?

Why does it seem so bizarre?

Tao Jingyang suddenly recalled a saying by Guan Zhong: "When the granaries are full, people know etiquette; when they are well-fed and clothed, they know honor and shame." The gist is that people can only talk about morality after they are well-fed and clothed.

She also remembered what Mr. Deng had said, "The first thing to do is to solve the problem of food and clothing"... But what does that have to do with awakening superpowers!?

Without thinking twice, Tao Jingyang pushed open the door and went out.

You asked what I'm going to do?

Food is the most important thing for people, so it must be about going to eat!

Inside the main hall, Li Chengze was sitting on a swing, having just finished listening to Fan Wujiu's report on the day's major and minor events.

At this moment, Fan Wujiu was saying the last thing he wanted to say that day.

Zhang Yuqing, the Minister of the Imperial Treasury, surrendered to the Second Prince.

Upon hearing this, Li Chengze couldn't help but laugh out loud:

"Surrender? Why are you thinking about it now? Wasn't he a tough guy before?"

Li Chengze sat on the swing, swinging barefoot.

After Li Chengze finished speaking his last words, the room fell silent.

It wasn't for any other reason than that Xie Bi'an was not good with words and never gave Li Chengze a "friendly look".

Fan Wujiu, however, was only interested in studying the classics and was not good at responding to conversation.

So Xie Bi'an put on a forced smile.

Fan Wujiu stood to the side, wearing a big smile.

Fan Wujiu suddenly remembered what he had learned from monitoring the "strange woman" today. Just as he was about to report to His Highness, the three of them heard a sound from the side hall.

Xie Bi'an listened for a moment and said, "Your Highness, that woman went to the backyard."

"Oh?" After expressing his doubt, he turned to look at Fan Wujiu, who was standing very straight to the side.

Fan Wujiu quickly recounted everything that had happened that morning.

"He chatted with the two maids and even thanked them?"

"This seems interesting." Li Chengze said, standing up and stretching.

"Bi'an, go take a look. By the way, we're having hot pot for lunch today."

After finishing his sentence, Li Chengze paused, then continued, "If she has nothing else to do, invite her over for a meal."

"Yes."

After saying that, Xie Bi'an went out and followed Tao Jingyang.

Tao Jingyang hadn't even reached the backyard when he heard footsteps following behind him.

The distance was very close, but the footsteps were extremely light, and even the breathing was almost inaudible. It was obvious without guessing that it was Xie Bi'an, with his cold, aloof expression.

She pretended not to hear anything and went straight to the kitchen, asking the cook there for something to eat immediately.

Upon seeing this, Xie Bi'an outside no longer hid and rushed into the room: "Miss, our prince invites you to dine with him."

Before Tao Jingyang could say anything, the cook beside him asked, "May I ask...?"

"pot."

After saying that, he left the kitchen, ignoring Tao Jingyang who was standing to the side.
