Protagonist:

Lin Hao

In a private room of Xiao Shudu Restaurant opened by Li Si's mother, soft light fell on the dining table, the table laden with all kinds of delicious dishes, exuding tempting aromas.

Cheng Miaomiao, Li Si, and Hu Qiumin sat before the table, staring intently at Cheng Yaya, their gazes as if they could see right through her.

Cheng Yaya sighed helplessly and said, "I say, you guys, you want to go to Hong Kong, why must you drag me along? I really don't want to go mess around. Going to Hong Kong isn't that easy, you're really being wildly unrealistic."

Cheng Miaomiao hurriedly explained, "Yaya, you're not unaware that we've been to other places before. You often follow your teacher out to competitions, so you must be more familiar with the outside situation than us. You have more experience than us, you can give us some ideas."

After hearing this, Cheng Yaya slightly furrowed her brow and said, "Then you should find Hao Ge. Hao Ge has been out far more times than me. Hao Ge is well-informed and much better than me. And Hao Ge is so smart, surely he can come up with better methods."

Cheng Miaomiao didn't let Cheng Yaya finish before hastily waving her hands and saying, "No, no, no, absolutely cannot let Hao Ge know. If Hao Ge finds out, we can't go anywhere for sure, he'll definitely tell Mom and Dad. If Mom and Dad find out, they definitely won't let us go. They'll definitely think we're making trouble."

Li Si also nodded repeatedly, echoing, "Yeah, yeah, that's just Hao Ge's flaw, too sensible, too obedient. He definitely won't agree to us going to Hong Kong. He'll definitely think we shouldn't take such risks."

At this moment, Lin Hao walked in carrying a pot of chicken soup. He looked at their mysterious expressions and curiously asked, "What are you saying about me? Why do I feel like you're plotting something?"

Everyone hurriedly waved their hands in panic, saying in unison, "We didn't say anything, we didn't say anything."

Their gazes were attracted by the pot Lin Hao was holding, and they curiously asked one after another, "Hao Ge, what are you holding? It smells so good."

Lin Hao smiled and said, "This is medicinal chicken I researched myself based on books. I've been studying Traditional Chinese Medicine recently, and thought about using TCM methods to cook, to see how it turns out. You try it and give me some opinions."

They didn't expect Lin Hao to actually be researching TCM cooking, and they all began to question it.

"Hao Ge, can this work? Will cooking with Traditional Chinese Medicine be strange?" Cheng Miaomiao said doubtfully.

"Yeah, I've never heard of Traditional Chinese Medicine being used to cook. Can it taste good?" Hu Qiumin also said.

But smelling the tempting aroma, they couldn't help but want to try it. In the end, Li Si had the most courage and trusted Lin Hao the most.

He picked up a bowl, ladled a bowlful, and carefully took a sip.

"Wow, the taste is really not bad." Li Si said in pleasant surprise.

Seeing Li Si's reaction, the others also picked up their bowls and began to taste.

"Mm, it's indeed delicious. Hao Ge, you're amazing." Cheng Miaomiao praised.

"I didn't expect cooking with Traditional Chinese Medicine to be so delicious. Hao Ge, you should research more in the future." Hu Qiumin also nodded and said.

After a while, everyone praised Lin Hao's medicinal chicken without end, and the atmosphere became relaxed and pleasant.

At this moment Lin Hao slightly furrowed his brow and said, "Now can you tell me what you were just saying? I always feel like you're hiding something from me."

Hearing Lin Hao's words, everyone put down their chopsticks, looked at each other, and for a moment no one dared to speak. The air seemed to freeze, and the atmosphere became very tense.

Seeing this scene, Lin Hao became even more certain of his guess.

He roughly guessed they should be planning to go to Hong Kong.

Lin Hao shook his head helplessly, knowing that once these guys decided on something, it was hard to change their minds.

So Lin Hao stopped asking, got up, and silently left the private room.

Seeing Lin Hao leave, everyone let out a long sigh of relief.

Li Si took the lead in breaking the silence, saying, "Fortunately Hao Ge didn't keep asking, otherwise we'd be done for."

Cheng Miaomiao also nodded and said, "Yeah, we almost let it slip. Hao Ge is too smart, we have to be careful."

Hu Qiumin impatiently picked up her chopsticks and said, "Forget about Hao Ge, let's keep eating. This medicinal chicken is too delicious."

Everyone grabbed the chicken soup again, as if the tension just now had never happened.

From then on, Xiao Shudu added a dish called medicinal chicken. This dish was not only delicious but also very nourishing, said to be made by adding dozens of Chinese medicinal herbs and simmering a hen over low heat for over ten hours. Many people now pursue healthy eating, so it was especially popular.

Especially Li Dahai, who ordered a portion every time he treated guests, and then boasted about Lin Hao.

Cheng Miaomiao and Cheng Yaya walked home slowly after finishing their meal.

Along the way, neither of them spoke much, each lost in their own thoughts.

After returning home, the house was quiet. On the living room table lay a neatly placed note and some money.

Cheng Miaomiao quickly walked over, picked up the note and looked carefully. It turned out that her mother Jia Daiyu and their logistics team had also rehearsed a program to participate in the oilfield's gala performance.

And their father Cheng Pengfei was on duty at the Hospital, unable to take care of them, so he left some money for them to buy dinner themselves in the evening.

Cheng Yaya was unwilling to go to Gangcheng with them, which made Cheng Miaomiao very angry.

She returned to her room, didn't even eat dinner, plopped down on the bed, and sulked angrily.

Cheng Yaya felt somewhat sorry inside. After a while, he came to Cheng Miaomiao's room.

As soon as he entered, he saw the rice he had bought on the table, untouched by his sister.

Cheng Yaya sighed and said softly, "Sis, are you really fasting? Eat some noodles, I'm begging you. Don't think about going to Hong Kong anymore. Going to Hong Kong isn't that easy; it's not a place we can just go to if we want. We don't have that much money, nor a suitable way to go so far."

Cheng Miaomiao said weakly, "I don't want to go anyway. What's so good about that broken place? I was just saying it casually, and you took it seriously. Besides, what's so good about Hong Kong? Maybe it's not even as good as here."

Cheng Yaya saw his sister like this, shook his head helplessly, then picked up the noodles and started eating himself, saying while eating, "It's good that you can see reason. Going to Hong Kong is too unrealistic. We should just live well here. Don't keep thinking about unrealistic things."

Hearing the sound of Cheng Yaya slurping his noodles, Cheng Miaomiao got even angrier.

She suddenly sat up straight and shouted, "Cheng Yaya, what do you mean? Not only did you make me get a zero on the exam, now you're deliberately not helping me. I'm not sharing the sky with you. You're just going to watch me get bullied like that? That Academic Affairs Director Xiao Fang is too much. Why won't she let us participate in the gala? We must find a way to vent this anger."

Cheng Yaya put down his bowl and chopsticks and said helplessly, "I admit to making you get a zero, but I really can't help with going to Hong Kong. Do you know how big a deal this is?"

Cheng Miaomiao said, "I just want everyone to know that no matter how hard this is, I'll do it well and make everyone's jaws drop. I want to prove myself, that I'm not so easily defeated. I can't just let Xiao Fang look down on me like this."

After speaking, Cheng Miaomiao snatched the bowl of noodles from her brother's hand and started eating herself.

Looking at his sister's stubborn appearance, Cheng Yaya felt very conflicted inside. After a while, he sighed and said, "Alright, I'll help you think of a way. But we can't act blindly; we need to plan carefully. Going to Hong Kong is no joke; we need to consider everything thoroughly."

Cheng Miaomiao heard this and smiled, saying, "That's more like it. I knew you wouldn't ignore me. Let's think of a way together, we can definitely do it."
