Chapter 1235: Chapter 1207: Cooking Together with Enthusiasm

"Had your fill?" Class was over, and Qio Yu Xuan came to find Qian. Qian nodded and then shook her head.

"I did enjoy it, but if it were left to me, I’m worried I might not do it well, since my experience in this area is rather limited."

"I’ll assign you an assignment every week, with a general idea inside of it. You just follow this to interact, once a week. The intensity won’t be too high, and you can even earn some money. Will you do it?"

"Yes!" Only a fool wouldn’t!

She was just worried about having nothing to do, and now here comes such a good job. Qian couldn’t be more eager, so she happily agreed, and seeing her so delighted, Qio Yu Xuan was happy too.

"It’s also time for a meal. Shall we find a place to eat?" Qian suggested, adding, "I’ll treat you!"

"Why bother? Let’s just buy some stuff and cook at home. Didn’t you say you wanted to cook a meal for me as a thank you?"

Qio Yu Xuan was worried Qian would feel indebted, so he intentionally picked a simple request for her.

"I’m not very good at cooking..." Qian said tactfully.

"No worries, your Third Senior Brother has prepared the best stomach medicine for me, I’m not afraid!"

At worst, I can just take a few stomach pills, go to the bathroom a few times, and it’ll be fine.

Qio Yu Xuan suggested excitedly, and Qian thought, why not do it that way.

Qian also knew herself well, realizing her presence in the kitchen was quite dangerous, but having received Qio Yu Xuan’s favor, she didn’t want to dampen his mood. So, on this issue, Qian rolled her eyes and had an idea.

"I’m a bit less skilled at things like stir-frying." Saying she’s less skilled is putting it gently, actually, she would set off a kitchen explosion upon entering.

Qian paused for a moment, then smiled and said to Qio Yu Xuan, "Since you’re about to become my mentor, we’re considered in the same sect, right? Do you agree our relationship is quite good?"

Definitely agree! Qio Yu Xuan nodded.

"Then let’s work together today. I’ll wash and chop the vegetables, you handle the cooking. We can also consider this a test of the mentor-student chemistry?"

"Uhh..." Qio Yu Xuan hesitated.

Should he tell Qian he wasn’t very skilled at cooking?

"You won’t let me down, right? We two finally get together to cook a meal, isn’t testing our chemistry a good thing?"

"Alright!" Qio Yu Xuan agreed reluctantly, thinking he couldn’t miss this opportunity to win favor with Qian, even if he wasn’t up to it, he’d have to force it.

Both were making their own calculations, not believing that two psychology experts couldn’t cook a meal!

At worst, make more and just muddle through!

Neither of them believed the other’s cooking skills could be worse than their own.

...

Yu Minglang finished work and went home, dragging his tired body, eager to see his wife. He didn’t know how she was doing these past few days he’s been away.

Just as he entered the complex, he saw thick smoke coming from the direction of his house. Smoke was pouring out of the window, scared Yu Minglang so much he forgot his fatigue and sprinted towards home.

As Yu Minglang dashed anxiously towards home, he saw his wife with a sooty face, her hair disheveled, Qio Yu Xuan was about the same, both standing in line downstairs, and they were still discussing.

"The fire’s out, but what about the house? The kitchen tiles have been scorched black, and the smoke in the room hasn’t cleared. Xiaoqiang is definitely going to nag when he gets back!"

"It’s fine, we’ll get a cleaning company to settle it quickly. With money, we can move mountains. We’ll get it done before your green-uniformed Soldier returns. Let’s not tell him!"

"Ahem!" Xiaoqiang cleared his throat, his face darkened, and when these two turned to look at him, their sooty faces showed identical expressions of fear.

"Can anyone explain to me, what happened to my house?"

Yu Minglang glared at Qio Yu Xuan, this old fellow again coming over to corrupt his wife!

"Well, it’s just that the object burned excessively, generating lots of heat, and you know rapid combustion in a confined space leads to chemical reactions..." Qio Yu Xuan dodged the question, refusing to tell the truth.

This is hard to say, how could he say it?

Saying he took advantage of Yu Minglang being away, and teamed up with Qian to burn down the kitchen?

"You! You’re now on my home’s blacklist of unwelcome visitors!" Yu Minglang pointed at Qio Yu Xuan, then turned to look at Qian, just before he spoke, Qian dramatically swooped over.

"Ah~ isn’t this my long-separated and reunited beloved husband? Mentor, look, this handsome young gentleman is my husband, isn’t he handsome?"

"Don’t try to use your charm on me! Didn’t I tell you when I left, stay out of the kitchen!" Yu Minglang grumbled as he checked, worried that Qian might be hurt, while warning her, charms won’t work on matters of principle!

His heart, yearning for his beloved wife, was ruined by these two kitchen idiots. The passionate feelings he planned to present to Qian turned into sharp inquiries, forcing himself to put on a stern look.

If he didn’t warn her now, this little lass might get into trouble, heading into the kitchen with a pregnant belly, joking around with herself and the baby in her belly!

Yu Minglang’s mind had already drawn a caution line around the kitchen; not accessible for Qian!

Qian flashed a pleading look at Qio Yu Xuan; Mentor, save me!

Cooking together—or rather, burning the kitchen together—after experiencing this, Qian successfully switched calling Qio Yu Xuan ’Mentor’. He had to be called, not just for his medical skills, but even his kitchen-burning prowess was deeper than hers.

This time, Qian really wasn’t the main culprit; she was dragged down by Qio Yu Xuan.

She was peeling garlic just then, when Qio Yu Xuan, wearing an apron, solemnly addressed her cookware, not forgetting to comment on the brand of the pot, the voltage, and gave a whole lesson. It was a temporary research, and Qian was deeply impressed.

Sounding like an expert, Qian then continued peeling the garlic, damaging it terribly. Just at that moment, there was a loud noise from Qio Yu Xuan’s side, and Qian turned her head, seeing billows of thick smoke...

In the hallway, she grabbed the communal fire extinguisher and sprayed it away. After spraying, the room was filled with thick smoke. The two opened the windows and went downstairs, planning on how to destroy the evidence, when Yu Minglang caught them red-handed.

Xiaoqiang was furious!

He couldn’t bear to reprimand his wife, so he vented on Qio Yu Xuan.

"You’re welcome to chat professional matters with my wife to lift her spirits. You’re welcome, but if you want something to eat or need anything, just tell me, we won’t neglect you. But how could you let my wife into the kitchen? You didn’t know she’s a kitchen idiot—"

"Cough!" Qian coughed.
