Protagonist:

Lu Feng

Li Jiang had just been about to turn on the gas stove, his hand not yet touching the switch, when Lu Feng delivered a solid kick to his backside.

Lu Feng's kick showed no mercy at all; Li Jiang let out a miserable cry and was flung sideways more than a meter.

He finally landed on his butt on the ground, gritting his teeth in pain, sitting there sucking in cold breaths.

After kicking Li Jiang away, Lu Feng didn't bother checking if he was injured, rushing over to the gas valve and shutting it tight.

With his movement, the "hissing" sound on the gas stove stopped immediately.

Next, Lu Feng quickly walked to the window and shoved open the kitchen window, letting the outside air pour in.

As the outside wind blew into the kitchen, the originally somewhat pungent smell of natural gas finally faded a little.

After doing all this, Lu Feng finally let out a heavy sigh of relief, sliding down against the cabinet to sit on the ground.

He wiped the cold sweat beading on his forehead, feeling as if he had just walked through the gates of hell.

Earlier, when Li Jiang had entered the kitchen to serve dishes, because the burnt smell of Tomato Scrambled Eggs had masked it, he actually hadn't noticed the smell of natural gas.

Just as he entered the kitchen, he keenly sensed something was wrong, and only then did he discover the pungent smell of natural gas permeating the air.

Luckily he reacted quickly; if he had been half a second later, when Li Jiang struck a light, this kitchen would probably have been blown into ruins, and his own little life would have been forfeit here today.

He had only been living in the big Villa for a short while, and the luxury car he had just picked up had only been driven for a day; if he just kicked the bucket like that, it would be too unjust!

Thinking of this, Lu Feng felt a chill run down his back.

"Damn it! Fengzi, have you gone mad? What the hell is this?"

Li Jiang still hadn't figured out the situation, sitting on the ground with a blank expression, rubbing his butt as he shouted loudly at Lu Feng.

Hearing his words, Lu Feng was furious beyond measure and couldn't help but suddenly stand up, kicking him in the butt again.

However, this kick was purely to vent his resentment, with much less force than before.

"Li Jiang! Do you think your life is too long?"

Lu Feng's face was Iron Face, pointing at the gas stove as he sternly berated Li Jiang.

"Wh-what is this? Why did you kick me?"

Li Jiang rubbed the butt that had been kicked twice as he climbed up from the ground, his forehead full of question marks.

"You say what is this? You finished cooking and don't even know to turn off the gas valve? You fucking want to blow me up!"

Lu Feng clutched his chest, his face full of the lingering fear after a calamity; after speaking, he ran to the Living Room to find a fan, fanning to speed up the ventilation in the kitchen while fiercely glaring at Li Jiang.

Seeing the stern expression on Lu Feng's face, Li Jiang also smelled the lingering odd odor in the air and finally came to his senses.

"Damn it! I was saying why there's a strange smell in the kitchen; I thought it was the smell of my Tomato Scrambled Eggs……"

Realizing his own recklessness just now, he suddenly broke out in a cold sweat too.

"Sorry Fengzi! I forgot for a moment……almost harmed you, really sorry!"

Li Jiang now belatedly realized, his legs going a bit soft, apologizing to Lu Feng again and again.

Lu Feng ignored him, carefully checking the kitchen once over.

The gas pipeline showed no signs of leaking, and sniffing up close he didn't smell anything odd.

Afterwards, his gaze fell on the iron pot on the gas stove that still had residual warmth.

He didn't know what was cooked in that pot; Lu Feng fished with chopsticks twice, pulling out several noodles almost boiled into mush.

It looked like when boiling noodles, the water in the pot boiled over and extinguished the fire.

And this guy Li Jiang probably forgot about it, just letting the gas hiss and hiss for half a day.

Lu Feng sighed; it seemed Li Jiang's cooking really was full of mishaps.

Others say cooking blows up the kitchen as a joke, but Li Jiang really blew it up!

He had just turned his head wanting to berate the other a few more words, but unexpectedly seeing Li Jiang's actions at this moment, he was scared into a cold sweat again.

Li Jiang's face was somewhat pale; subconsciously he pulled out a wrinkled pack of Hibiscus King cigarettes from his bosom.

With trembling hands he took out a cigarette and held it in his mouth; right now he was groping for a lighter.

"Damn it, what are you trying to do again?"

Lu Feng was quick-eyed and quick-handed, rushing over to snatch the cigarette Li Jiang had in his mouth and fiercely throwing it out the window.

"My……heart is beating too fast; I want to smoke a cigarette to calm down……"

Li Jiang's right hand had just pulled out the lighter; frightened by Lu Feng's movement, he froze in place, motionless.

"The natural gas hasn't dissipated yet! What the hell are you smoking!"

Lu Feng was practically made to laugh in anger by Li Jiang: "You're determined to blow up this kitchen today, right? Don't you think what just happened wasn't exciting enough?"

In just a few minutes, they had brushed past the god of death twice in a row.

Even though Lu Feng was usually mild-tempered, at this moment he was somewhat pushed to his limit.

Li Jiang's actions made him involuntarily recall a joke he had seen online before.

Q: What to do if you discover a gas leak at home?

A: Smoke a cigarette to calm down!

Originally thinking this was just an attention-grabbing joke, such a situation wouldn't happen in reality.

Unexpectedly today, the absurd plot from that joke almost turned into a bloody reality in Li Jiang's hands.

"Sorry sorry……"

Li Jiang looked flustered, bowing to Lu Feng again and again to apologize: "Brother I really didn't mean it! My head was too messed up just now……I'm throwing it now, throwing it now!"

Saying this, Li Jiang quickly rushed to the side of the window and threw the lighter in his hand out from the windowsill.

Lu Feng watched his movement, just about to stop him, but the lighter had already traced an arc and flown out of the window.

This Li Jiang, doesn't he know that throwing objects from a great height is very dangerous?

What if the lighter falls and hits someone?

Lu Feng stood by the window and glanced down, seeing the lighter land in the flowerbed downstairs, only then did he feel relieved.

After a while, the natural gas in the kitchen gradually dissipated, and the crisis was resolved.

Lu Feng, however, felt some regret in his heart; Li Jiang's careless personality, he truly didn't know whether teaching him to cook was helping him or harming him.

He finally understood clearly; letting Li Jiang cook was simply gambling with both of their lives.

Li Jiang stood to one side with his head drooping, like a child who had done something wrong, staring at his own toes without saying a word.

Lu Feng looked at his appearance and silently sighed in his heart.

The anger in his heart had long dissipated, and now only helplessness remained.

Nothing is easy the first time; Li Jiang was willing to settle down and learn to cook from him, at least his spirit was commendable.

"Jiangzi, you want me to teach you to cook, that's no problem."

Lu Feng walked over and patted Li Jiang's shoulder, staring into his eyes and saying extremely seriously: "But you must promise me, that when you cook in the future, there must be someone watching beside you, understand? Must!"

Li Jiang slowly raised his head, his eyes still carrying a bit of panic; after hearing Lu Feng's words, he nodded seriously: "Brother, rest assured, I swear that when I cook in the future, there will absolutely be someone watching beside me!"

Hearing Li Jiang's promise, Lu Feng then nodded with relief.

He pointed to the tomato in the sink and said to Li Jiang: "You do it once yourself first, I'll watch beside you and guide you the whole way."

"Fengzi, are you sure... let me do it first?"

After experiencing what had just happened, Li Jiang had lost confidence in himself, with a bit of hesitation on his face.
