Everything I bought on online shopping platforms was genuine.

To be honest, the smell was absolutely unparalleled; he never imagined that such a smell could emanate from his home.

You should know that although Mr. Lin is not the kind of person who is obsessed with cleanliness, he is still very particular about hygiene, and he throws out the trash at home almost every day.

Moreover, how should I put it, even if Liu Ruyan had brought it to the living room, it wouldn't be this strong, since the smell was so overpowering and evenly distributed.

Let's put it this way, the only smell he'd ever had that was stronger than this was from an old-fashioned public toilet in the summer, the kind that was practically indistinguishable from a dry toilet.

"Get lost! You're the one who dragged the living room into the mess. I was trying to create a new dish, but it failed," Liu Ruyan said reproachfully.

Whether it was because she liked durian or had developed a tolerance, Liu Ruyan's reaction wasn't as strong as his.

"New dishes? Are you sure? You didn't blow up the house, did you?" Lin Mo asked uncertainly.

After all, even when he became the Wednesday God of Cookery, he made some terrible dishes at home to meet the prerequisites, but none of them tasted like this. At most, the taste was indescribable and the presentation was not good. But now his good sister can be said to have surpassed him.

"Are you asking for a beating? Do you believe I'll slap you?" Liu Ruyan glared at her, raising her hand as if to strike.
Seeing this, Lin Mo quickly took a step back. For some reason, he felt that Liu Ruyan had been marinated.

Perhaps sensing the disgust in his eyes, Liu Ruyan grabbed him by the collar and pulled him inside.

"Come in! What are you standing there for?"

Lin Mo, who had been pulled into the house, was completely flustered and quickly ran to the window.

At this point, all the windows in the house that could be opened were open, and even the air conditioner and range hood were on, with a cool breeze blowing into the room, but the smell was still there, and there was nothing that could be done.

Finally, having no other choice, the two retreated to the bedroom, closed the door, turned on the air conditioner, and brought in the asparagus fern from the living room, finally able to catch their breath.

He bought this asparagus fern from a shopping website. Liu Ruyan only thought of it as a green plant decoration, but it actually has the function of purifying the air and making the air fresher.

However, the situation in the living room was clearly not something that a small potted asparagus fern could quickly resolve. In that case, it would be better to give them some space to live.

Otherwise, they'd either stink to death or freeze to death.

"Oh, the property certificate has arrived! As expected of Aunt Jiang, she's so efficient!" Liu Ruyan said with a smile, holding the property certificate in her hand.

Although her name wasn't on the property certificate, having the certificate meant the house belonged to them. It was their own house, so they had a legitimate right to live there and felt more at home. Before, it felt like they were renting.

Although this apartment is only average, more than half the size of her large apartment in the city, it is still a four-bedroom apartment, and two bedrooms are still empty.

In an ordinary household, it could easily be used as a wedding room.

Upon hearing this, Lin Mo rolled his eyes at him and said, "You have the nerve to say that? I just got this property certificate today, and you're already making biological weapons at home. What kind of decent person would heat up a durian?"

By this time, he already knew the source of the taste. Of course, Liu Ruyan only said that she heated up the durian, but did not say that she crushed the durian and made it into dumpling filling. Otherwise, the surprise would have been lost.

"I...I was just thinking of trying to create some new dishes. After all, I had a cooking class with my mom yesterday, and I feel like cooking is just so-so," Liu Ruyan said somewhat guiltily.

Upon hearing this, Lin Mo sneered. Simple? To be honest, cooking is not difficult. After all, as long as it's edible, it's not hard. But to make it delicious is what counts as skill.

"Alright, let's skip cooking. From now on, you'd better not go into our kitchen at all. I'll take care of everything. We can always hire a live-in housekeeper later," Lin Mo said.

I have to persuade him, or I'll die! This is his new house, his new house!
After a while, the two slowly peeked out of the bedroom. Sure enough, with the windows open and the air conditioning on, the smell outside had lessened considerably. Although there was still a slight odor, it wasn't unbearable.

Only then did the two of them dare to go outside.

With the windows closed, but the range hood and air conditioner still running, the room warmed up again in less than ten minutes.

Taking a deep breath, Lin Mo walked into the kitchen. A rather strong smell immediately wafted over, originating from the electric cooker next to him. Clean it? Oh well, it's not anything valuable anyway.

Holding his nose, Lin Mo carried the pot, along with a pair of chopsticks, a spoon, and a slotted spoon, downstairs and threw them all into the trash can.

There's no way around it, this stuff is really weird, especially the bottom of the pot, where there's a layer of dark, mushy residue.

It's clear that Liu Ruyan did wash the pot, but not thoroughly. As for where the contents went, of course they went into the toilet.

Didn't you see that the smell in the living room bathroom was also quite strong?
With the source of the odor gone, the smell in the kitchen began to dissipate quickly, and even the smell in the living room became lighter. When Lin Mo returned and was about to go into the kitchen to cook, Liu Ruyan pushed him out.

"Well, just wait and eat today. I've been eating your food for so long, so today I'll let you try my cooking. Although you've eaten my food all the time, I guarantee this is your first time eating this kind of food," Liu Ruyan said smugly, standing at the kitchen door with her hands on her hips.

Upon hearing this, Lin Mo's face practically screamed with skepticism: "I think it's enough that I can live off you a little, otherwise... forget about everything else?"

"No, this is the result of my afternoon's preparation, you can't not eat it!" Liu Ruyan said firmly.

Faced with this, Lin Mo had no choice but to say, "Then swear that there is absolutely nothing related to durian!"

First of all, he doesn't like durian at all, and even finds it quite repulsive. He just can't stand the smell. The same goes for jackfruit.

But he noticed that the girls around him seemed to really like eating this stuff. His cousin Su He, Liu Ruyan, Miss Yuan, and even He Xiaoyue and the class monitor would occasionally make some durian cake to eat.

He felt that he was genetically incompatible with durian, which was why he felt nauseous when eating it.

He won't eat durian at room temperature, let alone heated durian.

"I swear, there's absolutely none left. I've put the rest of the durians in the refrigerator, okay?" Liu Ruyan raised her hand and swore.

Hearing this, Lin Mo nodded, finally feeling relieved. A person can't fall twice in the same place, and Liu Ruyan can't cook rice cakes twice in a row, can she?
Following Liu Ruyan's instructions, he sat directly at the dining table and waited, and was not allowed to peek.

Soon, the sound of boiling water came from the kitchen. Lin Mo nodded; there was no durian smell, so it should be fine.

Ten minutes later, Liu Ruyan came out of the kitchen carrying a plate with a lid on it, looking quite mysterious.

Lin Mo sniffed carefully and found no strange smell, so he was immediately relieved.

"Little brother, guess what delicious food your sister made for you?" Liu Ruyan sat down and asked with a smile, her bright eyes full of longing for praise.

Lin Mo, as her boyfriend, didn't want to spoil the fun. He took a closer sniff and found that not only was there no strange smell, but there was hardly any smell at all. The only thing he could detect was a slight smell of chives.

But this chives weren't stir-fried or roasted; they were very mild. If it weren't for his good sense of smell and the close proximity, he wouldn't have been able to smell them at all.

"Could it be stir-fried eggs with chives?" Lin Mo asked.

He assumed it was because Liu Ruyan was cooking for the first time and was inevitably a little inexperienced.

Upon hearing this, Liu Ruyan shook her head: "It's very close, guess again!"

Lin Mo: ? ? ?
It has chives and tastes like eggs, but it's not just chives and eggs stir-fry?

Seeing his expression, Liu Ruyan stopped teasing him and simply lifted the lid.

"Ta-da! As the saying goes, nothing tastes better than dumplings. Here are my sister-in-law's unique blind box dumplings. Please try them!" Liu Ruyan exclaimed excitedly.

At this moment, Lin Mo stared wide-eyed at the large plate of dumplings in front of him, and after a long while, he finally said, "If I'm not mistaken, these are chive and egg dumplings, right?"

"Hey? How did you know? My little brother is so smart!" Liu Ruyan clapped her hands happily.

Hearing this, Lin Mo looked at the dumplings of different sizes on the plate in front of him, the dumpling wrappers covered with chives and eggs, and was utterly speechless.

Is there even a need to guess? You've overcooked the dumplings, the filling has leaked out, and some of them are even open, leaving only empty dumpling wrappers. How could he not know what happened?

Anyone who didn't know better would think he was eating soup.

Lin Mo: "How about..."

But before he could finish speaking, Liu Ruyan's expression changed: "If you're going to suggest going out to eat, I'm going to lose my temper, okay?"

Lin Mo:
