Ever since Yang Yiyi appeared, Huang Feiyang became the center of attention wherever he went.

There was no helping it.

He was already incredibly handsome to begin with.

Having Chen Xiruo, the ice-beauty, by his side had been enough to attract attention. People were already constantly turning their heads to look.

Now he had another beautiful girl beside him—sweet-looking and so adorable that she inspired an instinctive desire to protect her.

So it was practically impossible for him not to draw attention.

If looks could kill, Huang Feiyang would probably have been torn to pieces by now.

Everywhere he went, he was met with envious, jealous, and resentful gazes.

When military training ended that afternoon, the three of them left the school and headed for Huang Feiyang’s villa.

Sure enough, the moment the two beauties got into the car, they began clashing with each other again.

“...”

Huang Feiyang had grown somewhat used to it.

When they arrived at the villa and chose their rooms, both girls picked rooms close to Huang Feiyang’s.

One on either side.

What gave Huang Feiyang a headache was that he had no idea what had gotten into Chen Xiruo and Yang Yiyi.

The two of them had somehow reached an understanding.

They insisted on cooking dinner themselves.

They even forbade him from entering the kitchen.

Seeing the two busy figures in the kitchen, Huang Feiyang broke into a cold sweat.

Were these two pampered young ladies really capable of cooking?

The thick smoke filling the kitchen gave him a bad feeling.

When he approached and heard what they were saying, his headache only worsened.

Chen Xiruo said, “That is what the search results said. This must be how you stir-fry shredded pork with green peppers!”

Yang Yiyi replied, “I am still better than you! I know how to turn on the gas. Do you? I cooked the rice too! Look at my scrambled eggs with tomatoes!”

Chen Xiruo scoffed. “Scrambled eggs with tomatoes? Then why didn’t you cut the tomatoes? You didn’t even beat the eggs!”

Yang Yiyi retorted, “What business is it of yours? And what about yours? Are you sure that thing that looks like charcoal is shredded pork with green peppers?”

“...”

“Phew!”

After taking a deep breath, Huang Feiyang turned around and prepared to go upstairs.

He seriously suspected that eating their food might give him food poisoning.

Unfortunately, there was no escaping.

“Huang Feiyang, dinner is ready!”

“Brother Feiyang, dinner is ready!”

Two sweet, delicate voices rang out nearby.

With a sigh, Huang Feiyang steeled himself and walked toward the dining room.

Before long, Chen Xiruo and Yang Yiyi each came out carrying a plate.

The two beauties looked somewhat gray and disheveled.

Looking at the several dishes laid out before him and the eager anticipation in their eyes, the corners of Huang Feiyang’s mouth twitched violently.

Shredded pork with green peppers?

The green peppers had already been burned into charcoal.

The shredded pork had also become charcoal.

Worse still, the two had fused together, giving off the unmistakable smell of something scorched.

Scrambled eggs with tomatoes?

The tomato was whole.

It had not been cut at all.

The egg was whole too.

Most importantly, both the tomato and the egg were pitch-black.

Clearly, they had burned everything.

“Xiruo!”

“Yiyi!”

At Chen Xiruo’s emphatic insistence, Huang Feiyang was not allowed to call Yang Yiyi “Little Sister Yiyi.”

“Are you two sure these dishes are edible?”

Huang Feiyang rubbed his forehead and asked helplessly.

“Well...”

“Um...”

At his words, embarrassment appeared on both beauties’ faces.

They also seemed thoroughly discouraged.

It seemed the dishes really were inedible.

“I cooked rice too!”

Yang Yiyi looked up at Huang Feiyang and proudly claimed credit.

Then she shot Chen Xiruo a challenging glance before running into the kitchen.

Not long afterward, Yang Yiyi came out carrying the rice cooker.

When Huang Feiyang opened it, he was completely speechless.

Yes, she had pressed the cooking button.

She had even added the rice.

But she had forgotten to add water.

Everything inside was completely charred.

“I... I didn’t know how to cook rice.”

Yang Yiyi tugged at the corner of her clothes and lowered her head as she spoke in a small voice.

Nearby, the group of bodyguards standing by the entrance looked toward the dining room and nearly suffered internal injuries from holding back their laughter.

They wanted to laugh, but did not dare.

These two young ladies were truly something else.

“Forget it. I’ll cook.”

Huang Feiyang slowly stood up and spoke with resignation.

“You’ll cook?”

The two girls asked in unison, their voices perfectly synchronized.

They both looked at Huang Feiyang suspiciously.

“You’ll find out soon enough.”

Without offering any further explanation, Huang Feiyang carried the rice cooker into the kitchen.

Cooking rice?

Home-style dishes?

Huang Feiyang had already mastered those skills in his previous life.

In this life, his memories told him that he had often served as a military cook during his special training in the army.

Naturally, this was no challenge for him.

An hour later, Huang Feiyang came out carrying the rice cooker.

Then came four dishes and a soup.

Shredded pork with green peppers.

Scrambled eggs with tomatoes.

Home-style tofu.

Smashed green peppers with preserved eggs.

And a soup made with corn, carrots, and pork ribs.

“Wow! Brother Feiyang, you are amazing!”

Looking at the delicious dishes spread across the table, Yang Yiyi’s eyes were filled with admiration.

“Indeed!”

Chen Xiruo chimed in from the side.

Her reaction was almost identical to Yang Yiyi’s.

After speaking, Chen Xiruo began serving the soup, while Yang Yiyi served the rice.

“Can we start eating? I’m hungry!”

Yang Yiyi gazed at Huang Feiyang pitifully.

“I’m hungry too!”

Chen Xiruo blinked, embarrassment appearing on her pretty face.

“Go ahead.”

Huang Feiyang nodded lightly, amused.

With his permission, the two beauties immediately began devouring the food.

In less than ten minutes, they had nearly wiped out all four dishes.

Even while eating ravenously, they did not forget to put food in Huang Feiyang’s bowl.

“It’s delicious!”

“I never knew Brother Feiyang could cook!”

After the meal, Yang Yiyi burped contentedly and rubbed her little belly.

“Huang Feiyang, you are amazing!”

Chen Xiruo stared straight into Huang Feiyang’s eyes, hers filled with admiration.

The next moment, the two beauties exchanged a glance and nodded.

“We have decided. From now on, you will be responsible for cooking at home!”

The two girls looked at Huang Feiyang and spoke in unison.

“All right.”

Huang Feiyang shrugged indifferently.

When he happened to glance at the group of male and female bodyguards in the living room, a thought occurred to him.

It seemed he would have to buy the two villas next door.

Otherwise, things would be rather inconvenient.

Before long, however, he realized that it was no longer necessary.

Yang Yiyi and Chen Xiruo had already had their families purchase the two neighboring villas separately.

That was what they told Huang Feiyang.

By the time Huang Feiyang finished washing the dishes and came out, the bodyguards had already left the villa at the two girls’ signal.

Apart from a few stationed at the entrance, the rest had gone to rest.

The entire villa now contained only the three of them.

“Hmm?”

Seeing the two girls staring fixedly at him, as though they had something important to say, Huang Feiyang could not help feeling puzzled.
