Huayu Tianxian: This director is such a hypocrite!

7 month 15 day.

Unit 1, Room 203, Building 1, Jingcheng Yaju.

"Is this your house?"

"right!"

At the door, Ye Chong hurriedly grabbed slippers for Little Potato, picking and choosing before finally settling on a pair of size 40 pink slippers.

Yifei glanced down at the tag on the slippers, her lips pursed, and she almost burst out laughing.

"Just bought it, right?"

"Um."

Ye Chong changed into slippers, picked up the air conditioner remote from the entryway, and chatted with her about everyday things.

"I made some money from ringtones before, a few million, and that's how I bought this house. It's better than living in a studio."

Yifei nodded, tugged at the hem of her white skirt to cover her knees, and then squatted down to change her shoes.

When she straightened up, Ye Chong had already turned on the air conditioner and disappeared. So she began to look around the house on her own.

The first thing you see is khaki, and you smell a fresh smoky scent. The living room is spacious and the floor is very clean.

These are the only few comments she found; in short: mediocre.

This also reveals the man's character: he keeps things simple and focuses most of his energy on his career.

"Here, have some water."

At this moment, Ye Chong came out of the kitchen, carrying two cups of steaming hot water.

"Freshly burned?"

Yifei didn't take it, but put the bag on the sofa and sat down herself.

"I didn't have time to order bottled water. Freshly boiled water is just as clean and hygienic."

Ye Chong placed the water on the table, sat down by himself, and looked up to find that there wasn't even any fruit on the table.

"It's a bit rough around the edges, but at least it has all the essential parts!"

Yifei blinked and suddenly asked, "It's almost noon, does your house have a kitchen?"

Ye Chong looked her up and down, a hint of suspicion in his eyes. "What? You're going to cook for me?"

Yi Fei smiled mysteriously and snapped her fingers silently.

"Bingo!"

……

Half an hour later, in the kitchen.

"Do!"

……

……

……

"Do!"

"Pfft—"

"You're laughing!" Yifei snapped, slamming the knife into the cutting board. She turned around, arms crossed, and glared at him fiercely. "You're laughing? Go ahead and try!"

"Come on then!"

Yifei made way for Ye Chong to come to the cutting board.

He rolled up his non-existent sleeves, picked up a knife, and began to cut.

"Do do do..."

"Wow? You actually have a knack for it?"

Ye Chong chuckled smugly, then started being cheeky again: "What do you think? I started chopping vegetables when I was still in my mother's womb, and I just ended up out here."

"Ugh!" Yi Fei spat out a loud spit.

What an idiot! How could he say such things? I don't know how his CPU is designed!

"You cut the potatoes first, I'm going to start making Mu Shu Pork."

"Dot dot dot..." Ye Chong was still cutting potatoes, and didn't even look up when he heard this.

"Are you sure you can do it?"

"What do you think?" Yifei borrowed Ye Chong's catchphrase, then put on an apron and started working.

What did Mom say again? Light the fire, pour in the oil, heat it for three minutes... no, no, it needs to be blanched!

"Blanch the wood ear mushrooms first, and give me a pot of cold water."

"Really?" Ye Chong was skeptical, but he still fetched her a pot of water.

"How long should I blanch it?"

Yifei grabbed a handful of unwashed wood ear mushrooms and threw them into the pot, her eyes focused and professional.

"What do you mean by 'long or short'? Just blanch the wood ear mushrooms until they're soft and mushy. Stir-frying wood ear mushrooms is fine, but if it's leafy greens, you can stir-fry them directly until they release water."

Ye Chong: "..."

He glanced again at the shredded potatoes on the cutting board: "So, what about these potatoes? Slices or shreds?"

Yifei was busy with her own things, occasionally tiptoeing excitedly. Hearing this, she didn't even turn her head: "Stir-fry shredded vegetables? You stir-fry shredded vegetables, I'm fine with anything."

Ye Chong: "..."

Half an hour later, two delicious-looking meat dishes were placed on the coffee table.

"start?"

"Hmm!"

Without further ado, the two picked up their chopsticks and started eating.

Then their pupils widened simultaneously!

Did I add the salt or did he? I cooked both dishes, so it must have been me who added it?

Yi Fei secretly glanced at him. Ye Chong was still eating the wood ear mushrooms with gusto, his expression normal, and he kept making nasal "hmm~" sounds, as if they were delicious?

Does he have a preference for strong flavors?

Yifei was puzzled. She shook her head and continued eating, but each bite of food required three bites of rice...

She's not looking at me anymore, is she?

Good heavens! The wood ear mushrooms are salty enough, but why are there sand and grit inside? They're so fishy!

The meal left the two of them speechless.

Ye Chong got up to clear the dishes, while Yi Fei secretly picked up her cup and gulped down a few mouthfuls of water.

Ten minutes later, the two sat back down on the sofa.

Yifei started the conversation: "What have you been doing these past few days? You haven't replied to my messages, and I can't get through to you on the phone."

"Hmm... I need to have a heart-to-heart talk with someone." Ye Chong subconsciously picked up the cigarette case on the table, glanced at Yi Fei, and then put it down again.

"Want to smoke?"

"I'm not smoking anymore." Ye Chong crossed his legs and turned to study his outfit for the day. He had been so busy with other things that he had forgotten about the important matter.

Today, the fairy sister wore a plain white dress. The loose long skirt hung down, covering her long and slender legs. Her straight black hair fell naturally, with no other decorations except for a blue hair tie.

When Yifei saw him looking at her, she playfully stuck out her little pink tongue.

"Stop looking. Tell me about your heart-to-heart talk."

Ye Chong shrugged, picked up the remote and turned on the TV, then turned to look at Yi Fei. "Wang Jinghua, Xiao Cui, the school principal, Yang Tianzhen, Warner Huang Xiaomao."

"What are you trying to do after meeting so many people?"

Ye Chong chuckled: "You know me, I've been slandered..."

"Is it slander?" Yifei frowned.

That unspoken rule isn't slander.

Of course, he may not have actually engaged in any underhanded dealings, but even so, it's still hard for people to accept!

"Now that you own a studio, try to do less of this kind of thing in the future."

Ye Chong pinched his middle finger, not in a hurry to speak.

Rationally speaking, the most urgent thing is to appease her, but appeasing her is lying.

If I don't lie, I can't bring myself to talk about the system.

"I'd actually rather maintain my current reputation?"

"What?" Yifei frowned, her tone gradually becoming serious. "Do you know what you're saying?"

Ye Chong nodded.

"Know!"

"Why?" Yifei's chest heaved violently.

She couldn't understand why anyone would deliberately tarnish their own reputation.

Ye Chong didn't look at her, but just stared at the water glass on the coffee table.

"If I want to rise quickly, I need to generate buzz. As long as I don't get caught, let others say what they want..."

"Are you stupid?!"

A sharp shout rang out.

Ye Chong was startled!

Turning around, he saw the fairy-like woman panting heavily, her eyebrows tightly furrowed, and her phoenix eyes glaring at him with murderous intent.

Ye Chong opened his mouth, but hesitated to speak.

"Are you stupid?!"

Yifei stood up abruptly, took two steps to stand in front of him, and tapped his head with her finger.

"If you're not stupid, who is!"

"You may not care about your reputation, but what about the people around you!"

Ye Chong staggered from the touch, and before he could speak, his slender white little finger pressed against his forehead again.

"Are you stupid? If you start a company in the future, who would dare to apply for a job with your reputation?! You really are infuriating!"

"Don't order anymore..."

"Hey?" Yifei was about to stop.

Hearing this, she got excited, pouted her little mouth, and reached out to poke again. Just then!

"Snap—"

A large hand grasped the small hand, and then pulled hard!

"ah--"
