The only SSSS-level fertility constitution in the entire interstellar space

When Xie Linyu stood in front of Lu Yao's apartment, his heart began to race uncontrollably.

He straightened the collar of his light blue cardigan and asked Xiao Chen, "Am I alright?"

Seeing that he was as nervous as if he were walking the red carpet for the first time, Xiao Chen said helplessly, "Brother Xie, you are very good and handsome. Miss Lu Yao will definitely be impressed when she sees you."

Xie Linyu lowered his hand: "Okay, ring the doorbell."

Xiao Chen reached out and pressed the button. After a while, footsteps came from inside the door, getting closer and closer.

Xie Linyu subconsciously straightened his back and put on a perfectly timed smile.

The door opened.

But the person standing inside the door was not Lu Yao.

It was Fu Ciyan.

The man was wearing dark gray loungewear, with the sleeves casually rolled up to his elbows, and a dark blue apron tied around his waist.

He held a spatula in one hand and rested the other on the door frame, looking down at Xie Linyu outside the door.

The two men's eyes met in mid-air.

For a moment, the air seemed to freeze.

Fu Ciyan's expression was calm, but a faint sharpness flashed in his deep black eyes.

Xie Linyu's smile froze for a moment, then he quickly adjusted it, his smile becoming even brighter: "General Fu, good afternoon. I've come to keep my appointment with Miss Lu Yao."

He deliberately emphasized the words "Miss Lu Yao," and then gestured to Xiao Chen beside him to present the gift.

Xiao Chen stared blankly at Fu Ciyan's domestic side for a moment before snapping out of it and quickly serving it.

Fu Ciyan reached out and took it, stepping aside to let him in: "Come in."

He then turned and went inside. Lu Yao came out of the bedroom and asked, "Is Xie Linyu and the others here?"

Fu Ciyan nodded: "It was him and his assistant."

Xie Linyu walked into the entrance hall, heard the conversation inside, and then the next second he saw Lu Yao walking out in a white dress.

"Xie Linyu, Xiao Chen, you're here!" Lu Yao's voice was clear and cheerful. "Come in and sit down, the food will be ready soon."

She walked over and naturally took the gift from Fu Ciyan's hand, glancing down at the exquisite bouquet: "Wow, what beautiful flowers! Thank you!"

Her attention was entirely focused on the flowers, and she didn't notice the subtle atmosphere between the two men.

Xie Linyu looked at Lu Yao, then at Fu Ciyan standing naturally beside her, and that inexplicable feeling of irritation welled up in his heart again.

"It's just a small token of my appreciation." He tried to maintain a smile. "This tea set is a piece from 'Qingci' (a type of porcelain), I hope you like it."

Lu Yao opened the gift box and her eyes lit up when she saw the light blue tea set: "So exquisite! Thank you, you're too kind."

"I'm glad you like it." Xie Linyu's mood improved slightly when he saw her happy expression.

"Lu Yao, should we arrange the flowers first?" Fu Ciyan spoke up at the right moment, his voice gentle, "Otherwise they'll wilt."

"Oh right, I'll go find a vase." Lu Yao carried the flowers and headed towards the kitchen.

Once she left, only the three of them remained in the living room.

Fu Ciyan looked at Xie Linyu: "Mr. Xie, please make yourself at home. I have some soup simmering in the pot. Excuse me for a moment."

Seeing this, Xiao Chen quickly said, "Brother Fu, let me help. I can do some things too."

"No need, you sit with Actor Xie for a while. The house is small, please don't mind." He said this, acting like the host of the house.

Xie Linyu felt a pang of sadness and couldn't help but ask, "General Fu shouldn't be short of money, so why is he living here?"

"Yaoyao likes it. She said she feels safe living here." Fu Ciyan looked like he had no choice, which made Xie Linyu feel even worse.

Xiao Chen secretly glanced at Xie Linyu, thinking, "Why does Brother Xie have to make things difficult for himself?"

Fu Ciyan is still Miss Lu Yao's match, so he definitely knows better than anyone else about these things!

Fortunately, a short while later, Lu Yaojiu came out carrying a vase, smiling and asking, "What are you talking about? Ci Yan, the food in the pot seems to be almost cooked, do you want to go check it out?"

"I was just about to go over there." Fu Ciyan didn't refuse and went straight into the kitchen. Seeing his practiced movements, Xiao Chen couldn't help but ask, "Miss Lu Yao, is Brother Fu always like this?"

"What? You mean he's the one who cooks? He's always the one doing the cooking at home. He's a really good cook, you wouldn't believe it, would you? It's quite a contrast, isn't it? I was shocked when I first found out too. You'll see how amazing he is after you've tasted it!"

When it comes to Fu Ciyan's cooking skills, Lu Yaozhen wholeheartedly recommends him.

However, these words were truly heartbreaking to Xie Linyu!

Xiao Chen didn't even dare to look at his brother Xie's sour face.

Xie Linyu can also cook, but the taste is only barely edible, not the kind that will kill you.

On this point alone, Xie Linyu is clearly no match for Fu Ciyan.

Xiao Chen smiled at just the right moment: "Yes, I really didn't expect that Brother Fu could not only fight on the battlefield, but also has such good cooking skills. He's really amazing."

With his back to Xie Linyu, Xiao Chen felt Xie Linyu's sharp gaze fixed on his back. He forced a smile and said, "Actually, our Brother Xie can cook too."

Upon hearing this, Lu Yao's eyes lit up, and she looked at Xie Linyu: "Really? I didn't expect you could do that too?"

Is cooking really a required course for men in the Federation?

Xie Linyu met Lu Yao's burning gaze and dared not admit that he had done a mediocre job. He could only nod and feign modesty, saying, "I did a mediocre job."

He had made up his mind to go back and enroll in a crash course in cooking. He refused to believe that he couldn't cook as well as Fu Ciyan.

Fu Ciyan brought out the food: "Thank you, Actor Xie. Since you can cook, why don't you show off your skills? We still have plenty of ingredients at home."

Xiao Chen's heart skipped a beat: "Brother Xie's hand isn't healed yet; the doctor told him to rest more."

"In that case, forget it. Maybe another time." Fu Ciyan was easy to talk to, as if he had just said it casually. "We can eat now."

Lu Yao, completely unaware of the undercurrent between the two, greeted them, "Please sit down. I've made some home-style dishes today, please don't mind."

The four people sat down.

Fu Ciyan naturally sat to Lu Yao's left, Xie Linyu sat opposite him, and Xiao Chen sat next to Xie Linyu.

On the table were sweet and sour pork ribs, steamed sea bass, garlic broccoli, Mapo tofu, and a pot of corn and pork rib soup. Every dish was delicious and steaming hot.

"General Fu's cooking skills are truly remarkable." Xiao Chen tasted a piece of pork rib and was genuinely surprised by the flavor.

"Eat more if you like," Fu Ciyan said calmly, then placed another piece of fish on Lu Yao's plate. "Be careful of the bones."

Lu Yao ate it naturally, then turned to Xie Linyu and asked, "How does it feel?"

Her eyes sparkled as she spoke, carrying a sense of pride and joy.

Xie Linyu felt a growing pang of bitterness in his heart as he watched. To make matters worse, Fu Ciyan also looked over, seemingly eager for his opinion.

"It's really good." Although it was the truth, Xie Linyu didn't want to admit it.

Fu Ciyan chuckled lightly: "Eat more if you like it. It's a rare opportunity like this."
