Miss Lin is a hunky VTuber today?

"That Misa..."

On the other side, the young lady, who had just taught Misa how to make dumplings, came to her senses after listening to the two arguing in the kitchen. She found that Misa had already made one according to her own understanding and was showing it to her with a look of amazement.

"Hmm? What's wrong, Sister Youyue?"

Although she said it as a question, the pink bubbles around Misa told the young lady that the child really wanted to be praised.

But right.

The thing in her hand that could barely be called a dumpling was really not something the young lady could praise!

"Making dumplings isn't like making sushi. First of all, dumplings shouldn't be this round, and secondly, this dumpling is leaking filling..."

"And also, don't wear plastic gloves while wrapping! You absolutely won't wrap it properly that way!"

"Okay! Misa understands!"

However, there is one good thing about Xiao Meisha: she always looks very confident. Even when her 'masterpiece' is criticized by Xu Youyue, she is not discouraged. Instead, she takes off her plastic gloves, folds them carefully, and continues to work hard like the young lady.

As for that dumpling that looked like sushi, was wrapped like shumai, and whose filling had been exposed...

Let Rino eat it in a bit, shall we?

After all, it was the first dumpling his wife had made herself.

Okay! That's decided!

Just as the young lady secretly made up her mind, Rino in the kitchen suddenly felt a chill down her spine, her hand trembled as she stir-fried the garlic shoots, and she almost stir-fried them into the sky.

"???"

Wearing a light blue apron, Xu Lin dodged the flying 'hidden weapon' to the side, his head full of question marks, and subconsciously began to speak sarcastically.

"Did you watch too much 'Cooking Master Boy' and ruin your brain by cooking the food so high?!"

Narino certainly couldn't admit that she was influenced by a mysterious force from the East, so she stubbornly retorted.

"I think you should keep an eye on your own pot first. The oil is splattering everywhere. Did you dilute this soybean oil with water or something? I almost got splattered on here!"

Sigh, why are these two arguing again?

On the other side, Xu Youyue, the culprit, sighed dramatically.

I felt that these two were probably incompatible by birth charts and had conflicting personalities, otherwise how could they always end up arguing?

"Sister Yue! Sister Yue! Look!"

Just then, Xiao Meisha's second improved version of "dumpling" was successfully born, and she was holding it up for Xu Youyue to see.

"Hmm! That's a lot of progress!"

Although it's still a bit misshapen and there's not much filling, it's at least much better than the previous sushi.

【Let's give this to Rino-chan too】

"Ah!"

Rino, who was in the kitchen, suddenly sneezed.

Of course, she couldn't spray it into the pot, otherwise the dish would be inedible, so she reacted extremely quickly and sprayed Xu Lin all over.

"Damn! Thank goodness I was wearing an apron, Rino, what's wrong with you!?"

"It must be because the chili peppers you cooked were too pungent. Can I open the window?"

"No, that area is so big, how come you sprayed it so precisely on me?"

"I'm going to open the window!"

"Rino!!!"

"Hmm, the air is much better now."

"Fuck!! Rino, you son of a bitch!"

Fortunately, by the time Misa was making the third dumpling, she had almost mastered the technique. Otherwise, Rin and Rino might have had a showdown right there in the kitchen to see who was the real white-haired king.

Make no mistake, Rino brought her entire deck with her to China this time.

Although Lin-chan isn't a card player...

. . . . .

Happy New Year!!! *4

Rino and Xu Lin drank beer, the young lady drank a low-alcohol cocktail, and Xiao Meisha, who was not yet twenty years old and for some reason particularly averse to alcohol, drank juice.

The four of them happened to clink glasses as the New Year's bells rang, celebrating the arrival of the new year.

"It seems there won't be a fireworks display this year, whereas there used to be."

Xu Youyue complained a little.

The fireworks display in Yehai City is a must-see for the New Year. The colorful fireworks bloom in the night sky, a rare and beautiful sight. Although she doesn't go to see it every year, she was still a little disappointed that it wasn't happening this year.

"I think a ban was issued a while ago, so no fireworks are allowed in the entire night sea this year, so there's no festive atmosphere at all."

Xu Lin downed a large glass of beer in one go and picked up a piece of lamb chop to gnaw on.

"Eh, Hanabi's performance? I really want to see it."

"There will always be a chance. If it's banned here in Yehai, we can go to another city next year."

By the way, speaking of which, Misa has been studying Chinese diligently for the past two years and can now communicate with Xu Lin and the others on a daily basis. Moreover, with Rino by her side teaching her by example, her accent is quite standard.

Occasionally, a few Japanese words will pop up in a Chinese sentence, and with the many English loanwords and onomatopoeic words in Japanese, it just looks really weird.

Sometimes even Xu Lin and the young lady, both majoring in Japanese, would pause for a moment before realizing what she was saying.

Perhaps only Rino can communicate with her seamlessly.

"Mmm! This is delicious!"

The young lady picked up a Japanese spring roll, took a bite, and exclaimed in surprise.

"Rino's cooking is amazing."

"Actually, Misa is better at Japanese cuisine and desserts, but the kitchen simply can't accommodate a third person, so I'm the only one who can do it."

Rino shrugged and said indifferently.

"Eh~ Misa-chan, can you teach me sometime?"

Hearing Rino say that, Xu Youyue looked at the pink-haired girl again.

"Okay, sure!"

Misa agreed quite readily, but Xu Lin, sitting next to the young lady, had a rather subtle expression.

"ah.."

"Um?!"

Xu Youyue glared at her.

"fine."

Xu Lin shrank back and swallowed the retort that was on the tip of his tongue.

Ever since the young lady's suspected attempt to poison and murder the Xu sisters, Xu Lin has been teaching her how to cook. However, whether it's due to her innate personality or something else, even after three years, the young lady still panics when she sees oil splattering, so her cooking skills haven't improved much.

It only reached the point where it wouldn't kill anyone.

Perhaps this is a sign of a lack of culinary talent. As for her wanting to learn Japanese cuisine from Misa...

Anyway, Xu Lin wasn't very optimistic about it.

Chapter 54, Section 245: That noble and aloof woman is Sister Yan (Part 1)

"Next up is your debut live stream, Yuzu, right?"

After waiting for a while, Xu Youyue couldn't stand watching the two sisters making faces like they were having a stroke, so she simply changed the subject.

"Hey? Sister-in-law, is it really okay for you to give away so many spoilers?"

Yuzu turned her head and paused for a moment.

"Damn it! Yuzu, stop yelling like that! What sister-in-law?!"

Before the young lady could speak, Xu Lin couldn't hold back any longer. He patted Youzi's head and scolded her in an annoyed tone.

Xu You glanced at her disdainfully, ignored her, and continued chatting with the young lady.

"Oh, didn't you just say you were going to debut? The news of you joining ESC should be released tomorrow, right? No problem...?"

The young lady glanced at Xu Lin, but for some reason ignored her. She just patted Youzi's hand shyly, signaling her to stop fooling around.

"..."

Seeing that the two of them were ignoring him in a tacit manner, Xu Lin fell silent.

Sometimes you have to admit that even if you're a psychology expert, you still can't figure out what a woman is thinking.

After all, psychology is based on logic, but a girl's thoughts are like a summer rain shower, changing every now and then and having no logic at all.

"Hmm, it should be three more days, right? Then there are two weeks until the team building event, right? The time is a bit tight, and I'm quite nervous."

That's definitely a professional smile, Yuzu's.

Xu Linjing, standing to the side, quietly complained about Youzi in her heart.

As her older brother... well, as her older sister, doesn't she know what kind of person Yuzu is? It's impossible for her to be nervous; she's more likely worried about how to make her debut livestream a hit.

"Don't be nervous www. We can't help you with the debut streaming, but your sister and I will be going to the team building event. Everyone here is very friendly, so it's okay. Yuzu-chan will definitely be able to get along well with them."

"I'd rather worry about whether you, Yuzu, will take this opportunity to do something..."

"Wakaba!"

"Yes, yes, yes, Miss, I won't say anything more, okay? Really, you just spoil Yuzu."

"Sis, you're such a henpecked husband!"
