Yanchuan originally intended to refuse, but Li was the third most popular in his live stream and belonged to the category of benefactors that shouldn’t be ignored. Moreover, the food Li cooked suited his taste, even slightly better than Evan’s culinary skills.
Not wanting to seem ungrateful, Yanchuan carefully observed Li for a few days and found that aside from his cool appearance, Li never said anything inappropriate. It was as if the softness he had perceived that day was merely his own misconception; Li was actually a very polite and considerate person. He completely embodied the image of a devoted husband who cherished his family.
“Alright…” Yanchuan took the food container from Li’s hands, hesitated for a moment while glancing at the half sandwich on his plate and the figure of Evan on the screen, feeling that inviting Li in was not appropriate.
Li noticed his hesitation and politely nodded, “Then I’ll go back.”
Yanchuan watched as Li left. After a moment, he closed the door and walked back to his desk.
“Who was that just now?” Evan asked from the screen, noticing Yanchuan carrying a food container back, looking a bit puzzled. “What did they bring?”
Yanchuan sat down and opened the food container. “A neighbor made some extra soup and asked if I wanted some.”
Neighbor?
Evan instinctively frowned.
The pretty little worker had no visible expression, looking as if he was quite familiar with this neighbor.
Evan’s internal alarm bells rang.
What kind of neighbor frequently delivers food to a handsome little worker living alone? The meal seemed to look even better than the ones he cooked.
Pretending to be a considerate man certainly had ulterior motives!
Evan’s alarm was blaring!
Evan watched Yanchuan pour some soup into a small bowl and sip it slowly, unable to help but ask, “What kind of neighbor is he? Does it taste good?”
Is it better than what I can make?
Evan felt a bit sour inside.
Yanchuan was certainly very familiar with this neighbor, and unbeknownst to him, someone was sneaking into his home, even usurping his chance to cook.
Yanchuan looked up, slightly puzzled.
Evan on screen frowned deeply, staring at the bowl as if he could drill a hole through it with his gaze.
“I just met him; I haven’t moved here for long,” he swallowed a spoonful of soup. “It’s alright, it tastes pretty good.”
Evan pressed on, “So, who do you think cooks better, me or him?”
?
Yanchuan put down the spoon, not quite understanding what Evan was asking.
Why does he want to know whose cooking skills are better… Is this really that important?
But Evan seemed eager for an answer, so Yanchuan reluctantly offered an objective evaluation: “His cooking is a bit better.”
However, considering that Evan hadn’t really had the opportunity to cook before, his culinary skills weren’t too bad either.
Evan stared blankly at the screen as Yanchuan said that someone else’s cooking was better than his.
The beautiful little worker held a small spoon, his hair brushed aside, revealing his pale cheeks and long, dark eyelashes that hung down.
He looked quite obedient.
Upon hearing Yanchuan’s words, the pretty little worker raised his head, eyes bright and glistening, as if holding a well of water,
then proceeded to say that someone else’s cooking was better.
“But this is not a fair comparison,” Yanchuan added, “Your cooking is also very good, I like it.”
Evan felt a little better at that.
“Then I’ll go back and cook for you,” he said cheerfully, “I’ve learned some new dishes.”
Yanchuan smiled, “Great.”
[Laughing so hard, Yanchuan confirmed that his cooking skills were inferior to others]
[Feeling that the boss surely has suspicions, but doesn’t know when he will discover his wife’s side job]
[The soup looks good; a good cook is suitable for being Yanchuan’s husband]
[The sandwiches made by the wife are so simple and heart-wrenching; I’ll remember to find more husbands to cook at home]
[I’m so selfish; why do I want to taste the sandwiches made by Yanchuan?]
After finishing the video call with Yanchuan, Evan called his assistant to prepare some ingredients to send over.
He had already figured out the taste preferences of the pretty little worker, and after honing his cooking skills a bit more, he would definitely be able to create the dishes that would satisfy him the most!
These neighbors who could cook, or wild men who might pop up from nowhere in the future, could never compare to him!
Evan felt invigorated, quickly opening several highly-rated cooking videos.
“What is the boss doing in there?” The assistant, who was on a business trip with him and had just completed her tasks, asked while idly discussing, “Why did so many ingredients go in?”
One informed explanation came, “Learning how to cook.”
The assistant was a bit incredulous, “Cooking? Who are you cooking for?”
The person answering shook their head, “Practicing cooking skills, making it convenient for the boss to cook for others later.”
The questioner looked even more puzzled.
However, the assistant did not answer her; she had been working with her direct supervisor for some time and was a very mature assistant now.
No more issues would arise from slacking off while watching beautiful wives on live streams.
Yes, she was the new assistant who was caught slacking off by her boss last time.
After that incident, she vowed never to slack off again during work hours, but as it happens, the boss wasn’t working now, and the other assistants were chatting outside.
It was a perfect time to relax.
The assistant clicked into the live stream.
Upon entering, she immediately saw the pinned poll of the streamer “Little Bunny Sweetheart,” noticing there was less than a day left until the deadline, and quickly joined the voting.
The poll was about “Planning to participate in a dating event hosted by the platform; whom do you think Little Bunny can collaborate with?”
Assistant: !
Regardless of the options, she must select all-in! No one could refuse the invitation of a beautiful streamer!
Sure enough, the comments were filled with equally savvy individuals, with the all-in option occupying 99%.
There was also 1% choosing self-recommendation, filled with personal information like “Rich CEO,” “Diamond Male,” “Pure-hearted Male,” and “Handsome Gemini.”
