The super rich starts with the self-discipline challenge

Chapter 21 Why are you here again?

After Zhong Yun followed Ruan Xi into her house, he came to the kitchen, put the things on the stove, looked around, and saw that the kitchen was quite clean. He took the apron off the wall and was about to put it on.

At this time, Ruan Xi also entered the kitchen, walked quickly to his side, held his hand, prevented him from wearing an apron, and said, "I'll do it."

"No, I can wear it myself."

Zhong Yun thought she wanted to help him tie the apron, and said with a smile.

Ruan Xi did not let go, but added a little more strength, took the apron from his hand, and said, "I promised to treat you to a meal, I'll do it."

Zhong Yun was a little surprised, "You can cook?"

He originally thought that a top student like her, who was usually strictly controlled by her parents, would definitely be the type who never did housework and only knew how to study.

Ruan Xi had already tied her apron and used a black hairband to tie up her hair that was draped over her shoulders.

She looked a bit more like a homely little woman, and the aura of a stranger staying away from her became much lighter, making her seem more down-to-earth.

She pushed Zhong Yun's shoulder and pushed him out of the kitchen, saying, "Go wait outside."

Zhong Yun asked, "Can you do it?"

Ruan Xi did not say anything, but answered with actions. She picked up the inner pot of the rice cooker, washed it, rinsed the rice, added water, wiped the bottom of the pot with a rag, and finally put it into the rice cooker, turned on the power, and pressed a button.

She did this very smoothly and it was obvious that she cooked very often.

Zhong Yun felt relieved, sat on the sofa in the living room, took off his slippers, lay down on it, took out his mobile phone, listened to the sounds of pots and dishes being washed in the kitchen, and started watching short videos comfortably.

……

After more than forty minutes, it was already dark.

Ruan Xi brought out the prepared dishes and found the living room was pitch black. Zhong Yun was sitting on the sofa looking at his phone, too lazy to turn on the lights.

She put the dishes on the table, turned on the light, and returned to the kitchen to bring out all the dishes. After the meal was ready, she walked over to remind Zhong Yun, "It's time to eat."

Zhong Yun then put away his phone, stood up, washed his hands, sat down at the dining table, and said, "It's quite a feast."

One dish of Chinese cabbage, one braised chicken wing, one stir-fried pork with garlic sprouts, and one tomato egg drop soup. Three dishes and one soup.

He picked up a piece of meat with chopsticks and tasted it. It was just the right amount of saltiness. He praised, "It's delicious. I can't believe you're such a good cook."

A layer of joy flashed in Ruan Xi's bright eyes. She also picked up the chopsticks, picked up a piece of meat and tasted it. The smile in her eyes froze and her expression dimmed.

Seeing her suddenly become emo, Zhong Yun thought she was reminded of her parents and asked softly, "What's wrong?"

Ruan Xi said in a somewhat depressed mood, "It's not as delicious as that restaurant."

Just because of this?

Zhong Yun laughed and said, "You are being a bit pretentious. You have only cooked a few dishes. The chefs in other restaurants are professionals. They have practiced for many years and make a living from this. If he can't even compare to you, then he might as well buy a piece of tofu and kill himself."

It seems right.

Ruan Xi felt a little embarrassed by what he said, and a faint blush visibly appeared on her fair face.

Zhong Yun picked up a piece of meat and put it in her bowl, saying, "Eat it while it's hot, or the food will get cold soon."

"Ah."

Ruan Xi responded softly, lowered her head, and ate in small bites.

It can be seen that she was well-educated. She chews her food slowly and makes almost no noise. She also doesn't speak. When you talk to her, she swallows the food and puts down her bowl and chopsticks before answering.

Zhong Yun felt tired just watching it.

He had heard from his cousin who was ten years older than him that when he was a child and his grandparents were still alive, there were strict rules for eating and one would be scolded if he was not careful.

When he was a child, he lived with his parents in other places and did not receive this kind of education.

Now he has a tutor who is stricter than his grandparents.

Zhong Yun finished eating quickly, put down his bowl and chopsticks, but did not leave. He sat there with Ruan Xi.

After a few minutes, she finished eating too.

Zhong Yun said, "Don't move, I'll wash the dishes."

When it comes to housework, of course there is division of labor. Ruan Xi cooks and he washes the dishes.

He quickly cleaned the table, carried all the bowls and pots to the kitchen sink, rolled up his sleeves, and was about to start washing.

Ruan Xi's weak voice came from behind, "You can use the dishwasher."

Zhong Yun took a look and noticed that there was a dishwasher under the stove. He squatted down and opened it. After studying it for a while, he scratched his chin and turned to ask Ruan Xi, "How do you use this thing?"

Ruan Xi whispered, "Still, let me do it."

Zhong Yun could only stand up, step aside, and watch her put the pots, bowls, chopsticks, etc. into the dishwasher and press the button a few times.

Then she scrubbed the pot again.

In the end, Zhong Yun did nothing. At this time, his cell phone rang. He saw that it was Gao Yutao calling. After picking up the phone, he heard Gao Yutao's voice coming from the phone, "Where have you been? Why is no one at home? You've been knocking on the door for a long time."

"Eating outside. Why are you here again?"

"What do you mean again? Have you forgotten what day it is today?"

"It's been ten years since you broke up with your first love?"

"It's my birthday, I knew you would forget it."

"Why would I remember a grown man's birthday?"

Zhong Yun said unhappily and hung up the phone.

At this time, Ruan Xi had taken off her apron and said, "If you have something to do, go back first."

As she spoke, her watch began to beep, probably the alarm she had set in advance. She pressed it to turn off the alarm.

Zhong Yun said, "Okay, study hard. I'm leaving now."

……

Zhong Yun went up to the eighth floor and saw Gao Yutao carrying two large bags. There was a man standing next to him. It was He Ziqian, the colleague he had just met in the supermarket.

Gao Yutao explained, "He is here to see you as well. He just arrived."

"Oh."

Zhong Yun went to open the door and said, "Come in."

Gao Yutao put the bag in his hand on the coffee table and opened it. The aroma came out. It was all grilled skewers. The other bag was beer.

Zhong Yun asked He Ziqian, "Didn't you say you were going to deliver food to your girlfriend?"

He Ziqian sighed and said, "Don't mention it."

Well, they are arguing again.

The three of them sat around the coffee table, drinking and chatting.

Gao Yutao and He Ziqian were drinking beer, and Zhong Yun was holding a Orange Juice.

Gao Yutao said dissatisfiedly, "Isn't that what you mean? Just drink this?"

Zhong Yun was unmoved and said, "I have already stopped drinking."

Gao Yutao said excitedly, "Do you know that I broke up with Zhu Tongtong for you? What's wrong with you drinking two bottles with me?"

"No, can you blame me for this?"

"Of course it's your fault. Last time on the phone, your words hurt Xu Mingyue. Zhu Tongtong took her anger out on me and didn't want to see me anymore. If you were willing to get back together with Xu Mingyue, I would have gotten together with her a long time ago..."

Zhong Yun said, "This can only prove that Zhu Tongtong doesn't like you. If she really likes you, why would she pass you up just because of such a small matter?"

Suddenly, He Ziqian interrupted, "Listen to my advice, don't fall in love, and even if you want to, don't get married. Really, believe me..."

Gao Yutao complained, "Do you think I want to? My father has said that if I don't get married, he will give all three houses in the family to my sister and leave none for me."

He Ziqian said, "So you are a rich second generation, I am sorry for being so presumptuous."

"We are not rich at all. My family has three houses and no savings. I am still driving the Accord that my father bought ten years ago. I can't even afford to buy a Han..."

……

In this way, the two men drank and complained to each other, and they got along better and better as they talked.

Zhong Yun seemed to be an outsider. He was also happy and relaxed. Finally, he ran into the room to type alone.

By the time he finished coding two chapters, it was almost eleven o'clock. He went out to the living room and saw that the two were still drinking.

He Ziqian is teaching Gao Yutao how to pursue girls.

"...Don't chase girls, rely on attraction..."

"Whether it's attractive or not, I don't have the final say."

"Stupid, this kind of thing is just like sales, one relies on packaging, the other relies on publicity..."

Zhong Yun saw that he talked eloquently and seemed like a veteran in the love field.

At this time, He Ziqian's cell phone rang. He put down the beer in his hand and answered it immediately. "Hello, dear. OK, I'll be right there. Wait for me."

After hanging up the phone, he hurried out and said, "I don't want to chat with you anymore. I have to pick up my girlfriend." Then he ran away.

Gao Yutao was stunned, and felt that his tall image had collapsed, "He...he is so afraid of his girlfriend?"

Zhong Yun patted his shoulder and said earnestly, "Do you know why he said that you should never fall in love?"
