Protagonist:

Lu Feng

"Damn it!"

Li Jiang rolled his eyes at Lu Feng in annoyance, then looked somewhat dejected: "I clearly studied seriously, you know? Watching you cook, I felt it was pretty simple, so why can't I learn?"

Nonsense, I have a system, do you?

Lu Feng silently complained in his heart.

But what he was most curious about right now was why Li Jiang, who never cooked normally, suddenly wanted to cook.

There must be some reason for this, otherwise this kid would absolutely not be suddenly so interested in cooking.

Looking at the burn on Li Jiang's hand, Lu Feng couldn't help but ask: "Jiangzi, you're usually too lazy to even cook instant noodles, why did you suddenly want to cook today? This isn't like you at all."

Li Jiang's face showed an unnatural expression, and after hesitating for a while he said: "If I tell you, you can't make fun of me."

"Go on, go on, I promise I won't make fun of you... unless I can't help it."

Lu Feng immediately pricked up his ears, smiling as he said to Li Jiang.

"Bro, I... I'm in love!"

Li Jiang said somewhat shyly, fidgeting for a while.

Damn!

Lu Feng felt these words were like a bolt of heavenly thunder, striking down right on his forehead, leaving him charred on the outside and tender on the inside.

What the hell?

In love?

Hearing this from Li Jiang's mouth had an impact on Lu Feng that was even more outrageous than seeing Li Jiang personally serve that plate of Tomato Scrambled Eggs!

You have to know, in all the years he had known Li Jiang, he had never seen him interested in any girl.

Back when Li Jiang was at the Company, there were also several female Colleagues he got along well with.

Speaking of Li Jiang, his looks were passable, his family were demolition households, his conditions weren't bad, and there were girls interested in him.

But once he noticed, this kid avoided them like the plague, not giving the other party any chance at all.

A guy like this who had no improper thoughts about girls at all, now telling him he was in love?

"Uh... male or female?"

Lu Feng swallowed, asking tentatively.

"Get lost!"

Li Jiang cursed, replying in annoyance: "Of course it's a woman! I'm a normal person!"

"Sorry, just kidding."

Lu Feng smiled, his expression turning serious: "Tell me, what's going on?"

Li Jiang hemmed and hawed for a while, finally opening his mouth to tell the truth: "To be honest, last week my Mom set me up on another blind date. I originally didn't want to go, but I couldn't stand my Mom getting angry, so I thought I'd just go through the motions and come back."

"Unexpectedly... guess who my Mom introduced me to this time?"

"Who?"

Hearing this, Lu Feng immediately became interested too. He was also curious—what kind of person was the girl who could capture Li Jiang?

"It's Su Yue! I haven't seen her in several years. Tsk tsk tsk... fate is truly wonderful!"

Li Jiang's eyes lit up, his tone inevitably carrying some Excitement.

"Su Yue?"

Lu Feng frowned, touching his chin and thinking for a while, feeling he had heard Li Jiang mention this name before.

Soon, he remembered: "Was it the one you told me about when you were drunk at the Company dinner, the one you had a crush on in high school?"

"Yes yes yes! It's her!" Li Jiang got Excited, patting Lu Feng's shoulder: "You kid, your memory is really good!"

Lu Feng nodded in sudden realization.

Although he and Li Jiang only met after starting work, they usually talked about everything, and he had heard Li Jiang mention Su Yue more than once.

Back when Li Jiang was still a high school brat, he had always had a crush on Su Yue, crushing on her for a full three years.

Later when they graduated, he even went to confess to her. According to him, he was rejected, and was heartbroken for a good while.

After that, the two went to different cities for university and gradually lost contact.

Unexpectedly, this blind date turned out by a twist of fate to let these two meet again.

Lu Feng couldn't help but reassess Li Jiang, sighing inwardly. It looked like this kid had really fallen hard this time.

Before, when Lu Feng came to Li Jiang's home, Li's mother had complained to him, worrying that Li Jiang kept opposing blind dates and wondering what they would do if he couldn't find a partner in the future.

Unexpectedly, fate really was wonderful, and so quickly Li Jiang had fallen into the river of love.

"Jiangzi, this is a good thing! As a brother, I'm happy for you too."

Lu Feng sincerely felt happy for him, patting his shoulder as he said.

"What good thing..."

Li Jiang sighed with a bitter face after hearing: "When I was chatting with her that day, I don't know what I was thinking, my head got hot and I couldn't control my mouth, and I accidentally bragged."

"What did you say to her?"

Lu Feng couldn't help but ask Curiously.

"I told her that after I graduated from university, I've always lived alone, usually cook for myself, and my Culinary Skill is incredibly awesome..."

Li Jiang scratched his head embarrassedly, his voice getting smaller and smaller as he spoke.

"You told her your cooking skills are good? She believed that?"

Lu Feng had just taken a sip of water; hearing this, he nearly spat it out, and couldn't help but ask in surprise.

"She believed it! She even praised me, saying that men who can cook are getting fewer and fewer these days."

Li Jiang smiled somewhat embarrassedly as he said.

Anyone who knew Li Jiang even a little could see through his clumsy lie.

From the looks of it, that girl named Su Yue didn't know Li Jiang's background at all.

"And then?"

"Then... she said she'd come to our house this Sunday to taste my cooking. At the time my brain was muddleheaded, and I muddleheadedly agreed. Now just thinking about it makes me regret it! It's all because of this broken mouth of mine!"

Li Jiang couldn't help but knock his head in vexation.

"So today you're practicing stir-frying at home, and you called me over to be your guinea pig?"

Lu Feng laughed helplessly, pointing at that plate of Tomato Scrambled Eggs as he said.

"Fengzi, we're brothers after all, you have to help me this time!"

Li Jiang put his hand on Lu Feng's shoulder, showing a very serious expression on his face: "I also know I'm good for nothing, can't do anything except drive, and don't even have a job now, but I've already blown the cowhide, your cooking skill is so good, teach me how to make this Tomato Scrambled Eggs?"

"You can change your tune pretty fast..."

Lu Feng looked at his serious appearance, couldn't help but laugh: "Who was it that told me dating is too troublesome, and said women only affect the speed of getting a five-kill or something?"

"Hey! That's just because I hadn't met the right person!"

Li Jiang rarely blushed a bit, and said somewhat embarrassedly: "Even the Buddha said, if I don't go to hell, who will? Dating is hard, brother, let me scout the path for you first!"

"You blew such a big cowhide to others, just practicing one Tomato Scrambled Eggs, can you do it?"

Lu Feng pointed at that plate of Tomato Scrambled Eggs on the table and asked curiously.

"She told me herself, her favorite dish is this one. As long as you teach me how to make this dish, tomorrow this hurdle will be considered passed!"

Li Jiang finished speaking, looking at Lu Feng with a pleading expression: "Fengzi, we're good brothers, you don't want to see me miss this fate that's so hard to come by, right?"

Lu Feng smiled, patted Li Jiang's shoulder, stood up from the sofa, turned to him and said: "Alright alright, Tomato Scrambled Eggs isn't difficult, but with your level, I have to teach you from the basics. You stir-fry a plate first, let me see your steps."

Li Jiang was overjoyed, quickly jumped up from the sofa, and ran pattering into the Kitchen to look for Ingredients.

Lu Feng followed behind Li Jiang; before even entering the Kitchen he smelled a pungent odor, and his expression changed instantly.

Seeing Li Jiang was about to turn on the Gas Stove, Lu Feng didn't think at all, and directly kicked him.

"Damn it! Li Jiang! You fucking want to blow up the house or what!"
