Chapter 104 Gao Yuanyuan's Preparations
Liu Xiaoli asked in surprise, "Small place? You mean one of those roadside stalls? Qianqian, Mom isn't saying you can't eat at those places, but..."
'
"Mom! It's okay."
Seeing her daughter interrupt her, Liu Xiaoli looked surprised.
Noticing her mother's unusual behavior, Liu Yifei clung to Liu Xiaoli's arm and said sweetly, "Mom, we don't eat there often, just occasionally. Besides, they've all eaten there, so why can't I?"
Upon hearing this, Liu Xiaoli smiled and patted her daughter's head, saying, "Qianqian, that's not what Mommy meant. What Mommy meant was that we should still pay attention to hygiene when we're out."
Hearing this, Liu Yifei raised her head and retorted with a smug smile, "Mom, you're wrong about that. The restaurants around the school are definitely delicious and safe."
Liu Xiaoli chuckled and asked, "Who told you that?"
Liu Yifei pointed out the window, "That's what Wolong said."
"Sleeping Dragon?"
"It's that Ji Qingxu, the one I told you about before, Mom. Like me, he's been acting in one drama after another since he entered university."
Upon hearing this, Liu Xiaoli suddenly realized what he meant and then asked curiously, "What did he say?"
Liu Yifei pointed towards the outside of the school and said, "He said that among the restaurants around the school, the ones with the most customers are the best. If a restaurant has few customers, it means either the food is bad or the ingredients are poor. He also said that we students don't care about anything else, but we care most about food. Except for those places where the building is owned by a private person, if it's a rented place, the restaurants with bad food and poor ingredients will eventually close down. The remaining restaurants aren't too bad. Mom, is what he said right?"
Liu Xiaoli smiled upon hearing this, "Yes, there's some truth to that."
"He also said that it's okay to sell things at high prices when doing business around schools, but if the students get sick from the food, the boss would have to be incredibly brave, hahaha, what he said was so funny."
Seeing her daughter laughing heartily, Liu Xiaoli frowned for a moment, then relaxed, and casually asked, "Qianqian, are you very familiar with this Ji Qingxu?"
Liu Yifei touched her cheek with her finger and said uncertainly, "I guess we're considered familiar?"
"should?"
"Yes, I've only known him for a week, and we've never even met before, but he's really amazing, Mom!"
Seeing the amazed look on her daughter's face, Liu Xiaoli's heart sank, but she smiled and asked, "How do you know he's so amazing?"
"I've gotten to know him these past few days. We're rehearsing a play, and he's better than any of us. He can spot every mistake we make at a glance and teach us how to correct them so we can do better, just like a teacher."
"Didn't you say he started filming one movie after another right after the start of the semester?"
"Yes, that's what makes him so amazing. And it's not just when we're rehearsing plays, it's the same in class. The teachers all say he's amazing and encourage us to learn from him. Mom, I'm acting just like him, so why am I not as good as him?"
"It's okay, we'll take it slow. By the way, how old is he?"
"How old is he? I think he's 20 this year, but I don't know the exact age. Anyway, he's not much older than me. He's really amazing. He's played the male lead in three movies and even appeared on the Spring Festival Gala."
Upon hearing the last sentence, Liu Xiaoli asked in surprise, "He's been on the Spring Festival Gala?"
Liu Yifei nodded her head. "Yes, everyone in our school knows him. He was in the opening song and dance of this year's Spring Festival Gala."
Liu Xiaoli nodded slowly. "That's pretty impressive."
"And he's really strict; all of us who rehearse plays together are a little afraid of him."
Hearing this, Liu Xiaoli asked with a smile, "Did he scold you?"
Liu Yifei shook her head. "He didn't scold me, he didn't scold anyone. He's just very serious about his work. If we make a mistake during rehearsals, he can point it out immediately and make us correct it. I feel like he's more serious about rehearsals than when I'm filming."
"So you'll all listen to him?"
Liu Yifei said in surprise, "Of course we'll listen! Everything he points out is correct. Besides, he said from the beginning that if he doesn't say anything, everyone should listen to him. Moreover, the issues he raises are all real. Besides, he's acted in so many dramas, mostly as the male lead. Everyone recognizes his abilities. I think he's just as good as those teachers, no, sometimes even better than them. Mom, do you know what? Wolong has an amazing memory! He actually memorized the entire script. If we say a line wrong, he can spot it immediately..."
Hearing her daughter talking incessantly about Ji Qingxu, Liu Xiaoli frowned slightly and decided to have someone inquire about Ji Qingxu later.
"Mom, is Feifei doing well at home?"
"Are you worried that your mother isn't taking good care of you?"
"No, I've missed it a bit since I haven't seen it for a week."
"Don't worry, it's doing great. It's even gained some weight, just like you."
"Oh no, have I gained weight? No way! Could it be from eating so many late-night snacks lately?"
"Night snack?"
"Uh...hehe, did I say midnight snack? Then I misspoke, it was dinner."
'
'
"Brother Chicken, you owe me a big meal."
"I think you deserve a beating."
"Mule, Old Lu, you be the judge, did I say anything wrong?"
Luo Jin retorted, "Then why didn't you say you were going?"
Zhu Yawen gestured to Ji Qingxu and said, "Aren't I supposed to be supporting Brother Chicken? Would I really sabotage him?"
"Thank you, but there's no need for that."
Zhu Yawen asked curiously, "Brother Chicken, have you met Liu Yifei's mother?"
Ji Qingxu smiled upon hearing this. He had never seen her in real life, but he had seen quite a few online. Many netizens in later generations said that Liu Xiaoli was prettier than Liu Yifei. He wondered if it was because of Cao Cao's treacherous nature.
"You've seen it before?"
"I've met her. She often comes to the school to pick up Liu Yifei and we've chatted a few times. I have to say, Liu Yifei's mother is indeed very beautiful."
Seeing Ji Qingxu looking at her with a strange expression, Zhu Yawen was exasperated. "Brother Chicken, are you thinking about something inappropriate?"
Ji Qingxu chuckled, "How would you know what I'm thinking if you didn't want to?"
"Go away, buddy, I don't have that kind of hobby, don't talk nonsense. By the way, what are your plans for tomorrow?"
"Aren't you going out tonight?"
"Damn, I forgot I was chatting. Bye bros, I'm not coming back tonight. Call me if you need anything."
Watching Zhu Yawen leave the dormitory in a hurry after finishing her speech, Ji Qingxu shook his head with amusement. University life is really great.
"Ring ring!"
Ji Qingxu glanced at the phone on the table, picked it up, and answered the call with a smile, "Hello... I didn't forget, I just got out of class... Okay, I'm coming right away. I haven't eaten yet, I'll eat with you... Okay, okay, I'll be there in an hour, sure."
After hanging up the phone, Ji Qingxu smiled at Luo Jin and Lu Fangsheng, "I won't keep you company tonight, I have plans."
The two waved their hands, not paying any attention.
"How is it?"
"It looks delicious and smells wonderful."
Upon hearing this, Gao Yuanyuan retorted playfully, "Do you doubt that it's just because it's pretty?"
Ji Qingxu replied with a smile, "How can I draw a conclusion before I've even eaten? I'll tell you after I've tried it."
"Hmph, I don't cook often, you're in luck."
"I'm so touched, come here, give me a kiss."
"Go, go, go wash your hands first. We've been waiting for you for ages before we eat."
"It's my fault, I'll go wash it right away."
After Ji Qingxu finished speaking, Gao Yuanyuan kissed him and then laughed loudly as he walked towards the bathroom. Hearing his laughter, Gao Yuanyuan gave him a reproachful look with a smile, glanced at the dining table, and then quickly walked towards the kitchen.
"Here, have some soup first. I've been simmering this soup since this afternoon."
Looking at the pork bone and lotus root soup in the bowl, Ji Qingxu exclaimed with admiration, "It smells so sweet and delicious, just like you, Sister Yuanyuan. I knew it would taste good even before I tasted it."
Hearing Ji Qingxu's praise, Gao Yuanyuan happily retorted, "You're just all talk. You're so bland and unappealing. I didn't even add much salt."
Upon hearing this, Ji Qingxu picked up the bowl, took a sip, and immediately gave a thumbs up, saying, "Delicious! It's the best lotus root soup I've ever had."
Upon hearing this, Gao Yuanyuan said happily, "This lotus root is from Cizhou, Handan, Hebei Province. I heard it was once a tribute item. It's one of the earliest batches of new lotus roots. I had to go early this morning to buy it and managed to get it. Most of them are supplied to restaurants and are rarely sold in the market."
"Sister Yuanyuan, you've worked hard. I'll treat you to a good meal later."
Seeing the mischievous grin on Ji Qingxu's face, Gao Yuanyuan blushed. "Even food can't shut you up, huh?"
"Should I go back to school after I finish eating?"
"You dare!"
"Hahaha!"
Hearing Ji Qingxu's loud laughter, Gao Yuanyuan rolled her eyes at him and picked up a piece of twice-cooked pork with her chopsticks. "Try this twice-cooked pork and see how it's different from what you get in restaurants."
"I know it's definitely different without even tasting it. This plate of twice-cooked pork that Sister Yuanyuan made tastes just like home."
Hearing this, and thinking about Ji Qingxu's background, Gao Yuanyuan's expression softened even more. "Tell me what you want to eat, and I'll make it for you."
Ji Qingxu picked up a piece of twice-cooked pork and swallowed it in one gulp. "I love everything Sister Yuanyuan makes."
"Slow down, don't choke."
"Yes, Sister Yuanyuan, you should eat too. Eating with two people makes it taste better."
"it is good."
"By the way, Sister Yuanyuan, where's the wine? Didn't you say you wanted to have a couple of drinks?"
"Oh dear, I forgot. I meant something was missing. I'll go get it."
After saying that, Gao Yuanyuan took out a bottle of Wuliangye liquor from the room, and the two of them poured a glass each. "Let's drink less, and we won't drink anymore after this glass."
"Okay, we'll drink the rest tomorrow."
After they had eaten and drunk their fill, Gao Yuanyuan cleaned up the dishes and went into the kitchen to wash them, while Ji Qingxu toured the house.
When Gao Yuanyuan came out and didn't see Ji Qingxu in the living room, she quickly went into the bedroom.
"You didn't do anything wrong, did you?"
Ji Qingxu looked speechless and said, "Am I crazy? If I wanted to take action, I could just go after you directly."
Gao Yuanyuan blushed, but stubbornly retorted, "Hmph, who knows? Come on, I'll take you to your room to have a look."
Ji Qingxu asked in surprise, "What do you mean? Aren't I living with you? We're sleeping in separate rooms?"
Gao Yuanyuan retorted, "Who's going to sleep with you? I'm just letting you stay here temporarily. You can move out when you have money."
Upon hearing this, Ji Qingxu smiled and asked, "Are you sure?"
Gao Yuanyuan snorted, "Of course I'm sure."
"Alright, then you'd better not regret it. Come on, let's go see my room."
Seeing Ji Qingxu walk outside, Gao Yuanyuan paused for a moment, then gently patted her mouth. Oh no, this little rascal might actually be taking it seriously.
"This room?"
Upon hearing Ji Qingxu's question, Gao Yuanyuan quickly went over. "Yes, this is the room. You naughty guy, I only have two rooms in my house, the master bedroom and this one. Where else?"
"That's hard to say. Maybe you've built a secret room to imprison me, a male college student."
"Tch, you think everyone's like you? Look at you, how about that, are you satisfied now?"
Looking at the brand-new bedding, table, chairs, etc. in the room, and the room being clean and tidy, Ji Qingxu could even smell the fresh scent of laundry detergent and the smell of sunshine from the bedding.
Seeing Gao Yuanyuan looking at him expectantly, Ji Qingxu went straight up to her, hugged her, and kissed her.
