I treated you like a godfather, and you actually dated my sister!

I'm telling the truth.

"What I said is true."

Qin Ze looked at Qu Man helplessly. He really just wanted to confess his feelings to Qu Man and tell her how much he liked her.

He really had no other thoughts. Although he lingered there, he wasn't a beast. Qu Man was already like this, how could he possibly do that again?

This is the fairy he likes, how could she do those perverted things like standing up and kicking?

Qu Man looked at Qin Ze warily, genuinely afraid that her impulsive younger brother would act recklessly and beat her.

It's not that she doesn't trust her brat, but when she said those words last time, she didn't think things through and agreed, and that's how things turned out!

I can't walk, I can't sit, I'm practically half dead.

"I like you" already took me half my life, and now "I really like you"? Is that even acceptable?

If I agree to that, wouldn't I be putting my life in his hands?!

Having learned from past mistakes, Qu Man was very cautious.

like?

No, that's not possible. You can like her later, but you absolutely cannot like her today. She won't agree, not even if you say it!

She absolutely will not soften her heart today, not even if she looks at her with those pitiful little puppy eyes!

"Did you misunderstand me?" Qin Ze said helplessly.

"You can't like anything if you don't misunderstand it at all!"

Looking at Qu Man's determined yet protesting little expression, Qin Ze clicked his tongue. She was definitely, absolutely, wrong.

How come this big female CEO has more lewd thoughts in her head than he, a teenage boy?

I really want to open her head and give her a good wash!

"Go cook, your girlfriend's sister is hungry!"

"Okay~ Can we go right now?"

He affectionately kissed Qu Man on the cheek, then carried her to the kitchen.

This woman is stressed out today, so let's postpone the confession for another day. It seems like the gift I prepared won't be given to her.

Qin Ze's kitchen is open-plan, with a bar counter separating it from the living room.

He then placed Qu Man on a high stool next to the bar.

Even without consciously paying attention, you can clearly see the scene inside the kitchen from this position.

Qu Man propped her head up and watched Qin Ze's busy figure.

The air was filled with the aroma of food, and Qu Man could tell what her stinky little brother had cooked just by taking a sniff.

Smoked fish, eight-treasure duck, braised pork, and a pork rib soup!

Is it because she has a sensitive nose?

No.

It's because these are her favorite things, things she's smelled since she was a child, that's why she's so sure.

Judging from the smell, it seems like every dish is pretty good.

Qu Man smiled broadly. From the very first time they met, this bratty younger brother had been constantly surprising her.

My affection for him is skyrocketing!

From taking photos to cooking, to be honest, even if you prepare all the ingredients for her now, she still can't understand them.

She recognizes all the things, but when it comes to actually doing them, she really doesn't know how.

You can cook thin porridge, just add more water, but what about cooking rice?

She can cook rice until it's half-cooked or until it's thick porridge; she just can't cook rice perfectly.

She has never been to the kitchen since she was a child.

In terms of life skills, you could say she's an idiot; all her skill points are in business.

She's not even at level 1 in terms of life skills.

If the world were to end one day, she felt she would starve to death without a nanny or takeout.

But that was before. Things are different now. Now she has a naughty little brother!

She can't do it, but her little brother can!

They are like a match made in heaven, and all their shortcomings can be made up for by each other. What else could they be but a match made in heaven?

"You brat."

"Hmm? What's wrong?"

"How did you learn to cook? You shouldn't have had any exposure to this stuff, right?"

Qu Man was really curious. Even if the young master of the Gu family was down-to-earth, wouldn't he usually have a nanny to take care of him at home?

With a nanny taking care of him, how did he come up with the idea of ​​cooking for himself?

Hearing Qu Man ask this question, Qin Ze felt a sudden toothache.

Before the special period began, Brother Zha bought a river-view apartment with a great view and insisted on taking him to see it.

Then the special period came, and they were stuck there!

The new house is quite well-equipped, but neither of them are very handy. There are a lot of things in the refrigerator, but they just don't know how to cook them.

At least he knows some people, but that bastard is even worse off than him; he can't help with anything except eating his food.

I started by learning from online tutorials, but either the result was too salty or I used baking soda instead of starch, and the taste was awful.

They were stuck there for three months. I won't go into how strict the area was back then, but they were also afraid of dying, so no one dared to contact them. In the end, all they learned was how to cook rice.

But eating rice without any side dishes won't do, but by then they've already used up all the ingredients. What are we going to do?

To replenish his body's salt needs, he learned to make soy sauce fried rice, and then ate it for three months straight!

He ate soy sauce fried rice for three months straight, breakfast, lunch, and dinner, and almost threw up!

If it weren't for his survival instinct, he would have really wanted to starve himself. It was just too painful. Even if you eat your favorite food for three months straight, you can't stand it.

Moreover, his fondness for soy sauce fried rice was only so-so.

It seems his scumbag brother has become addicted to it. Every time they meet, his brother makes him order a serving and says something.

"Brother, it has to be yours to make this. Nowhere else can it taste like this."

What's most infuriating is that he'll give a thumbs-up and say something after he's finished eating.

"A tunnel!"

Qin Ze was furious at the authentic Beijing accent. So, he was the one who would get hurt in the end?

After that incident, he went back and began to cram for cooking lessons, fearing that he might encounter something like that again.

Even now, the thought of soy sauce fried rice makes him feel physically and mentally resistant.

(My personal experience with soy sauce fried rice, ugh~)

After hearing her younger brother's story, Qu Man didn't know whether to laugh or feel sorry for him. He was clearly tricked by his unreliable older brother, but in the end, it seemed that only he was the one who got hurt.

Because his older brother seems to really like the fried rice he makes!

Seeing Qu Man trying to suppress her laughter, Qin Ze rolled his eyes. "Just laugh if you want to. Mom and Auntie laughed so loudly when they heard it!"

Qu Man opened her arms, "Hug me~"

Qin Ze went over and hugged her, and Qu Man patted her little brother's head.

"My little brat has really suffered. Let me comfort you, muah~!"

"Having such an experience is quite good. At least it taught me what it means to be self-reliant and have enough to eat. At least I won't go hungry in the future."

"Then my meals will be in your hands from now on!"

Qin Ze reached out and placed his hand in front of Qu Man's eyes.

"What do you mean?"

"Money, do you think you can get it for free?" Qin Ze raised an eyebrow.

"I'm your girlfriend, and you still want money from me?"

"If you don't want money, then we'll use something else..."

Qu Man hugged the bear with both hands, her eyebrows standing on end.

"Get lost!"
