Chapter 91: Lets See Who is More Coquettish

There were only five people here at Chang Qing’s, including himself, so Lin Yifeng didn’t cook many dishes. He only made seven dishes.

But it was also very rich. There was chicken and fish, and the food looked and tasted great. It looked so good that it made people’s fingers twitch.

Chang Qing tasted it first and didn’t have to be convinced. It was really no worse than food from a restaurant.

However, Lu Zheng tasted it and said critically, “Heavy oil and heavy salt, you’ll get an inflammation after eating it.”

Lin Yifeng has a good temper, and he said: “This is the best way to eat.”

In fact, there wasn’t much oil, and the taste was just right. It wasn’t too salty or weak. At least Chang Qing couldn’t pick out any mistakes at all.

He couldn’t stop sticking his chopsticks out. Lin Yifeng gave him a piece of fish and said with a smile, “Have some fish, I do the best with meat.”

Chang Qing pinched his chopsticks, and without looking at him, whispered: “Thank you.”

Lin Yifeng smiled, but said nothing.

“Eat what fish? He likes to eat chicken.” As Lu Zheng spoke, he took away the fish from Chang Qing’s bowl and gave Chang Qing a chicken wing instead.

Chang Qing: “…”

Lin Yifeng smiled good-naturedly, and said, “I didn’t know that, I’ll remember that now.”

Chang Qing: “…”

No, he likes to eat fish!

He glanced at Lu Zheng, then lowered his head again. He never imagined that he would have such a bloody day.

Zhang Xinyu, who has been invisible, brought over several bottles of wine. Lu Zheng looked at them and asked, “Beer?”

Zhang Xinyu was still a little stiff in front of Lu Zheng. He was the boss after all, so it wasn’t that easy. He said calmly, “There are other wines, too. What do you want?”

Lu Zheng glanced at Chang Qing, and said lightly: “Forget it, beer is beer. I won’t get drunk.”

Zhang Xinyu nodded, filled a glass up for him, then looked at Chang Qing. Chang Qing pushed his cup over, and Zhang Xinyu filled his up for him too.

Lin Yifeng also poured himself a glass of wine and drank it slowly.

He extended his chopsticks and gave Chang Qing a shrimp. He said gently, “I remember you like shrimp. Eat more.”

Lu Zheng’s face changed slightly, and he looked at Lin Yifeng dangerously.

Lin Yifeng raised his eyes and looked straight into his eyes without fear, “You keep looking at me like that, do I have flowers on my face?”

Lu Zheng looked away and snorted softly.

Chang Qing was a little flustered. He raised his head to look at the couple who were deeply in love with each other in the original book, but at this time they were vaguely incompatible with each other and were about to fight for him. He felt the whole thing was a bit ridiculous.

He was truly a curse.

But he didn’t do it on purpose, and he was also confused.

Chang Qing cleared his throat and said, “Let’s eat.”

He reached out his chopsticks and picked up a piece of chicken for Lu Zheng, and a piece of fish for Lin Yifeng. “I like fish,” he emphasized.

As soon as Chang Qing finished speaking, Chang Qing also picked up chopsticks of food for Lu Hua and Zhang Xinyu.  There the rain and dew were all equally distributed1, and he was not being in the least bit biased.

Lu Zheng frowned slightly. Lu Hua didn’t notice the undercurrent between her brother and Lin Yifeng, and so she sincerely praised: “The food cooked by this little brother is delicious, it’s so much better than what Mother Zhang makes. Do you have a job? Do you want to come to my house to be a chef?”

Lu Zheng said: “He’s a big man. He has much better prospects than to come to the Lu house as a chief. Don’t keep thinking about such bad ideas.”

Lu Hua said aggrievedly: “I was just asking a question! Can’t I ask a question?”

Lu Zheng glanced at Lin Yifeng and said nothing.

Lin Yifeng smiled and said, “I’m an actor, so I’m afraid it’s impossible to work in your house.”

Lu Hua’s eyes widened in surprise, “Actor? What have you acted in?”

Chang Qing reminded, “Did you forget? I took you to chase his drama before.”

Lu Hua was stunned for a moment, “Which one? “

Chang Qing said: “It’s ‘What Should I do if my Boyfriend is too Domineering?’ Do you have such a bad memory that you forgot?”

Lu Hua suddenly realized, “Oh, I remember, it’s you. I wondered why you looked so familiar. I don’t usually chase stars so I didn’t recognize you.”

Lin Yifeng smiled and said: “It’s okay, I’m just an ordinary person.”

Lu Hua smiled while eating, and said: “I remember, Qing Qing even said at that time that you were good looking, better looking than the male lead.”

Lin Yifeng’s eyes lit up when he heard this. He looked at Chang Qing with a smile and said, “So you were a fan of mine back then.”

Chang Qing was drinking beer, and when he heard Lin Yifeng’s words, he almost choked. He put down his glass, clenched his fingers and said casually, “Although you only appeared for a few minutes, it was quite eye-catching.”

Lin Yifeng nodded and said with a smile: “If I had known that you would watch it, I would have fought for the male lead role.”

Chang Qing felt like he was about to faint.

Lu Zheng couldn’t stand seeing that someone was more coquettish than him, and his face was already ugly. He stretched out his foot from under the table, and accurately touched Chang Qing’s calf.

Chang Qing: “…”

He coughed a few times and his cheeks turned a light red.

Lu Zheng rushed before Lin Yifeng and asked concerned: “What’s the matter? Are you choking? If you can’t drink, don’t drink.  Don’t throw up in my arms like you did last time.”

As he spoke, he handed the teacup in his hand to Chang Qing.

Chang Qing didn’t think much. He raised his face, grabbed the glass of water and drank it, suppressing the itching in his throat.

Chang Qing put down the water glass and glanced at Lu Zheng, who immediately showed him a caring smile.

Chang Qing: “…”

If someone said that this person would one day tease him like this he wouldn’t have believed it.

He kept quiet and sat up straight after drinking the water trying to pretend that nothing had happened and continue eating.   

Lin Yifeng also asked with concern: “Are you ok?”

Chang Qing said: “I’m fine. I was able to drink something.”

Lin Yifeng didn’t say anything else. His gaze fell on the glass that Chang Qing had just drunk. That Lu Zheng could have poured water for Chang Qing, but he chose to give him his own water. His heart has some malicious intentions.

Lu Hua glanced at Lu Zheng, Chang Qing, and Lin Yifeng from time to time, always feeling as if she was in the eye of a storm.

She cleared her throat and said coquettishly, “Qing Qing, I want to eat chicken wings. Help me pick them up, I can’t pick them up.” She stretched out her chopsticks as she spoke, trying her best to express her “powerlessness”.

Chang Qing raised his eyes, glanced at her, and said, “Let your second brother help you.”

The dining table they were sitting at was round. On Chang Qing’s left was Lin Yifeng, and on his right was Zhang Xinyu. Lu Hua was sitting next to Zhang Xinyu. Lu Zheng was sitting next to Lu Hua, opposite of Chang Qing. It was much easier for Lu Zheng to help her than Chang Qing.

Lu Hua said: “No, I want you to pick it up for me!”

Chang Qing pulled up the corner of his lips helplessly, smiled, picked up a piece of chicken wing, stretched out his arm, and put it in Lu Hua’s bowl.

Lu Hua smiled and said, “My second brother wants some too. He likes to eat fish and water bamboo shoots. Those are his favorite dishes.”

Chang Qing: “…”

He couldn’t help but look at Lu Zheng. Lu Zheng had acted so ostentatiously that Lu Hua must already know something, otherwise she wouldn’t have helped him like this.

Lu Zheng showed him an innocent expression, expressing that he didn’t know anything.

Chang Qing had no choice but to pause for a moment. Then, he heard Lu Hua urge, “Come on, Qing Qing. You can’t treat my second brother like this. He’ll be sad. You can help him get some food too.”

Chang Qing said: “He has hands…”

Lu Zheng hugged his chest, and said lightly: “I don’t have much of an appetite.”

Chang Qing: “…”

Lin Yifeng said: “Since you don’t have an appetite, don’t force it.”

Next to them, Zhang Xinyu couldn’t wait to bury his head in the rice bowl.

No matter how dull he was, he could still feel the tit-for-tat confrontation between Lu Zheng and Lin Yifeng. If only he hadn’t come this time, he thought.

However, the food was indeed delicious. It was the first time he had such delicious food, and he couldn’t bear to put down his chopsticks. Everyone’s attention was focused on other things, it was a pity for this table of dishes.

Hearing what Lin Yifeng said, Lu Zheng stretched out his sinful toes again.

Chang Qing’s shoulders trembled. He swallowed the rice in his mouth, and said, “I’ll pick it up for you.”

He gave a deep look to Lu Zheng, stretched out his arm, and then kept picking up vegetables for him until the pile was as high as a hill. After the dish could no longer hold anymore food he stopped his movements. He smiled slightly and asked Lu Zheng, “Is that enough?”

Lu Zheng: “…”

He looked at the small hill of food in front of him, then glanced over to Chang Qing. He said reluctantly, “Although I don’t have much of an appetite, I can eat a little.”

Chang Qing was speechless. After eating this kind of uncomfortable meal he stretched out his foot and kicked Lu Zheng. He wanted to shout at him that enough was enough.

However, Lu Zheng was so courageous, as if he wasn’t afraid of others discovering him. He pinched Chang Qing’s extended foot between his legs, and refused to let go of it.

Before Chang Qing could react, he heard Lu Hua, who was next to Lu Zheng, say “Oops”. Then she bent down, and went to pick up her chopsticks.

Chang Qing was so frightened that the muscles on the inside of his thighs were tense. He twitched his foot hard, but it was useless. Lu Zheng held his foot tightly and refused to let him go back.

It’s over, he was going to be molested to death by Lu Zheng.

He didn’t know if Lu Hua had seen the bloody storm under the table. She picked up the chopsticks as if nothing had happened, her face expressionless.

Chang Qing didn’t dare to look at the expression on her face. Just like Zhang Xinyu, he wanted to bury his head in his rice bowl.

Lin Yifeng next to him asked in a kind voice, “Is it delicious?”

Chang Qing realized that he was asking him, and he spoke looking up, “It’s delicious.”

Lin Yifeng said, “Would you like me to cook it for you every day?”

Chang Qing didn’t say anything. He realized that Lu Zheng had reached out and took off his slippers…
