……  In the room next door.

  Stuck in a dilemma, Xiang Yi deliberated over the emoticons and typed for a long time before sending the text message. After hiding her cellphone in a corner of the sofa and covering it with a pillow, she scurried to the side and gripped the corner of her clothes tightly on tenterhooks.

  Amused by the sight of Xiang Yi’s shy behavior while burying her head in the sand, Shi Sui teased, “Xiang Yi, what are you doing?”


  “It’s nothing much, I’m just getting some exercise,” Xiang Yi answered calmly as if she wasn’t the one who was clutching tightly at the corner of her shirt.

  Shi Sui said, “Your cellphone is vibrating.”


  “Is it?” Xiang Yi walked toward the sofa and paused in her tracks again. She carefully and hesitantly lifted the corner of the pillow, only to see the words “You have received a text from Big Brother.” on the screen of her cell phone. Her heart tensed up and began pounding rapidly.

  She swore that she had never been this nervous, not even when she was taking her college entrance exams.

  “Are you afraid to open the text?” Shi Sui asked with a smirk. “Why don’t I help you take a look?”


  Xiang Yi asked after a moment of silence, “How much will you charge?”


  “You can put it on credit.”


  She seemed to be hesitating.

  Shi Sui picked up the cellphone slowly and said, “Why don’t you take a look at it yourself then?”


  Xiang Yi hurriedly took several steps back. “Okay, I agree!”


  The evil Shi Sui, who had gotten his way, squinted in pleasure as he glanced at the text message in the chat window with the corners of his lips slightly raised.

  ‘Tsk, yet another arrogant one.’


  “What did my Big Brother say?” Xiang YiTan asked nervously.

  “He said he isn’t free.”


  “Oh, I see……”


  For some reason, she didn’t dare to read Xiang Chen’s reply. However, she seemed to be less terrified now that Xiang Chen had read it out for her.

  To her surprise, Shi Sui continued to speak. He drawled in a casual tone of voice, “But, he said he’s in need of an on-flight meal during his flight back home.”


  Xiang Yi was speechless.

  Her eyes lit up, and she exclaimed, “I can prepare a meal for him! Help me reply to him!”


  “The price for replying to his text is different from reading it aloud. Xiang Yi, are you sure you want to upgrade the service?” he asked, staring at the anxious young girl with joy in his beautiful eyes.

  Since she already owed him a favor, she didn’t mind owing him another one. She nodded and agreed, “Yes.”


  In the next second……

  Shi Sui tapped and held his finger down on the voice message button on the screen while the cuffs of his sweater slid downward, exposing his wrist. His veins beneath the thin layer of his skin could be seen vaguely, adding a touch of asceticism and sexiness to his aura.

  “Brother Xiang Chen, I’ll pass on your message to Xiang Yi. I hope you have a pleasant time working~”


  Xiang Yi blinked and her long eyelashes fluttered. She vaguely felt that something seemed to be amiss.

  She dawdled for a while before asking softly, “Why do you address him as ‘Brother’ with greater ease than I do……’


  Shi Sui said innocently, “Xiang Chen is a few months older than me, to begin with. Shouldn’t I be calling him ‘Brother’ out of respect?”


  “.……”


  ‘That seems to make sense.’


  Back in China.

  Just as the Shisui Sisters and Xiang Yi’s fans were having a heated argument online, a famous food critic posted something on Weibo.

  “[The Frugal One]: I’ve been trying to keep up with the times lately so I learned some of the lingo you youngsters are accustomed to. I don’t know if I’ve applied it correctly but just take it as a joke if I’m wrong.

  The first thing I want to say is that I’m a huge fan of the Culinary God Xiang Yi @XiangYi even though I’m a lot older. I didn’t watch every single episode of “Two Under One Roof”, but I watched the cooking process of every single meal Xiang Yi made.

  Most of you might pay more attention to her pretty face and her interaction with other men and such. However, what I want to say is, her culinary skills are far too underrated! The series of dishes that she has cooked can definitely represent the top standard of Chinese cuisine!

  If I have to sum up her performance in the livestream overseas, I’d say it’s the epitome of beauty and delicacies!”
