Love Apartment: The All-Around Comedian

"Of course, I, Hu Yifei, have always been decisive and efficient in my work."

Hu Yifei raised an eyebrow, then turned to look at Lu Zhanbo and scolded, "Zhanbo, you better be serious, the rice is going to burn!"

"Okay, sis."

Lu Zhanbo responded listlessly, quickening his stirring motion.

"Ganbatte! Zhanbo."

Su Mingyang encouraged him.

Lu Zhanbo turned and gave Su Mingyang a resentful look, on the verge of tears. What had he done to deserve this? Even sitting on the sofa waiting for a phone call, Hu Yifei had dragged him along as a "laborer."

Lin Wanyu took a sip of water, and seeing Lu Zhanbo's expression, smiled and said, "Zhanbo, you don't seem very interested in learning."

4. "Hmm"

Upon hearing this, Hu Yifei turned and glared at Lu Zhanbo.

In an instant, Lu Zhanbo felt like he was being pricked by needles, his smile turning into a more awkward grimace. He said coyly, "Hehe, how could that be? Wanyu, you've misunderstood. I really want to learn. I feel like I'm even more eager to learn how to make fried rice now than I was to learn computer science back then."

Upon hearing this, Hu Yifei withdrew her gaze and nodded in satisfaction.

Su Mingyang suppressed a laugh.

"All right."

Lin Wanyu nodded, putting herself in her shoes, and said, "Once you learn how, you can make it for that... person. She should like it."

Upon hearing this, Lu Zhanbo's bitter expression vanished instantly; his back pain and leg soreness disappeared, and he felt as energetic as if he had been injected with adrenaline.

"Yeah, I'm not learning for my sister, I'm learning for myself! Just like Wanyu said, if I have the chance to cook for her, she'll definitely be touched!" Thinking of this, Lu Zhanbo couldn't help but chuckle to himself, full of enthusiasm for learning.

Hu Yifei was unaware that her younger brother's mindset had changed. Seeing what Su Mingyang and the others had bought, she asked curiously, "What ingredients did you all buy?"

"What else could it be? Just the ingredients for regular fried rice, Hu."

"Curned pork, mushrooms, eggs, and of course, most importantly, leftover rice."

Su Ming said casually.

"That's quite a lot."

As Hu Yifei spoke, she glanced at the meal she had taught Lu Zhanbo to make—just rice, an egg, and salt, without even scallions. It was incredibly meager! Su Mingyang, seeing Hu Yifei's thoughtful expression, said, "How about it, Yifei? Want me to share some of the toppings with you?"

"unnecessary!"

Hu Yifei waved her hand in refusal. She wanted it, but her pride wouldn't allow her to accept it.

"Never mind then."

Su Mingyang smiled slightly and said nothing more.

Hu Yifei's eyes darted around for a moment, and seeing the two of them resting on the sofa, she reminded them, "By the way, you two don't need to wait for us to finish our lesson. Go next door, I just told Meijia that I'll be using their kitchen."

"All right."

Su Mingyang shrugged and took Lin Wanyu to 360.

Chen Meijia hadn't cooked lunch, just waiting for the two of them. Seeing them arrive, she jumped up from the sofa and ran to Lin Wanyu's side, laughing, "Wanyu, I heard from Sister Yifei that you two had a fried rice making competition?"

"Yes, to be precise, it's a competition of Mingyang and Feifei's culinary teaching abilities."

Lin Wanyu explained.

"Hey, whatever you're competing in."

Chen Meijia waved her hand and laughed heartily, "Anyway, I'm in for a treat today. I haven't had lunch yet!"

After saying that, she looked at Su Mingyang beside her, touched her flat stomach, and looked on with great anticipation.

Su Mingyang immediately understood what Chen Meijia meant. As he walked towards the kitchen, he said, "We haven't eaten either. I'll cook now, demonstrate for Wanyu, and then we can eat first before she learns."

Lin Wanyu followed and helped Su Mingyang put on an apron.

"Great! Let's get started!"

Chen Meijia was incredibly excited about Su Mingyang's fried rice. Suddenly, a thought struck her, and she asked curiously, "By the way, have you guys watched 'MasterChef'?"

"I've seen it."

Su Mingyang nodded. "I was really into this anime when I was a kid."

Lin Wanyu asked, "What's wrong, Meijia?"

Chen Meijia smiled slightly and said, "I was wondering if Mingyang could make a golden fried rice that glows like Little Chef."

Speaking of this, Lin Wanyu was also a little curious. The glowing fried rice from Little Chef was so deeply ingrained in her mind that she wondered if Mingyang could replicate it.

Seeing the two looking at him expectantly, Su Mingyang's lips twitched, and he said with a playful tone, "Sure."

"Really?"

Chen Meijia's eyes lit up.

Lin Wanyu was also very surprised; Mingyang could actually do it! Just as the two girls were imagining how the fried rice Su Mingyang would make would glow, Su Mingyang's next words ruthlessly shattered their dreams: "Um, Meijia, go buy me some fluorescent powder. I'll sprinkle it in the rice later, and it'll glow however I want."

Upon hearing this, Lin Wanyu and Chen Meijia were stunned.

I felt a few crows flying overhead.

Chapter 205 My heart aches for Guan Gu for three seconds!

Guan Gu Shenqi walked into 360 with a frustrated look on his face. But when he smelled the aroma of food in the air, his depression vanished instantly, and every pore on his body seemed to cheer with joy! Looking up at the kitchen, he saw Su Mingyang plating the egg fried rice he had made. The golden rice grains coated with eggs almost made his mouth water.

Just the smell alone makes me feel like I'm ascending to heaven! If I were to take a bite, I'd feel like I was flying through the air! Guan Gu Shenqi thought of the golden fried rice from the anime "Cooking Master Boy," and he felt that Su Mingyang's version was practically identical, except it didn't glow! "Yoshi!"

Guan Gu Shenqi rubbed his hands together and strode towards the kitchen.

Standing next to Su Mingyang, Lin Wanyu and Chen Meijia swallowed hard at the sight of the freshly cooked fried rice. If they weren't concerned about their image, they would have grabbed a handful and put it in their mouths.

"Wanyu, did you remember the steps and the method for controlling the heat that I just taught you?"

As Su Mingyang plated the cooked egg fried rice, he asked...

"Uh, Mingyang, what did you just say?"

Lin Wanyu looked a little embarrassed. She had been so engrossed in the increasingly rich aroma that she hadn't paid any attention to what Su Mingyang was saying. She was only thinking about eating early.

After saying that, she turned and glanced at Chen Meijia.

"I don't know either."

Chen Meijia shrugged.

"You oh you"

Su Mingyang was somewhat amused and exasperated. Seeing Lin Wanyu's increasingly embarrassed expression, he didn't say anything more, "Never mind, let's eat first."

"Uh-huh."

Lin Wanyu breathed a sigh of relief, put on a smile, and happily prepared the dishes. Turning around, she saw Guan Gu Shenqi and was startled: "Guan Gu, when did you get back? You walked so quietly!"

"Just got back."

Guan Gu Shenqi scratched his head.

"Guan Gu, you're back just in time. I made fried rice with eggs, let's eat together."

Su Mingyang smiled.

"Uh-huh."

Guan Gu Shenqi was incredibly excited and gave Su Mingyang a thumbs up, saying, "Mingyang-jun, your cooking skills are still as good as before!"

"Not at all, my cooking skills are constantly improving."

Su Mingyang raised an eyebrow.

"Yes, yes, I misspoke, I'm sorry."

Guan Gu Shenqi awkwardly apologized.

"Haha, just kidding, let's eat."

Su Mingyang was amused by Guan Gu's honesty and divided the fried rice into four portions.

The fried rice is golden in color, with the egg evenly coating each grain of rice, keeping them separate. It is combined with a variety of ingredients such as cured meat, corn, mushrooms, and carrots, making it look incredibly appetizing.

"Dinner's ready."

As soon as Su Mingyang said this, the three of them couldn't wait to start eating.

The moment the fried rice entered their mouths, everyone could feel the difference. The salty aroma of the cured pork and the sweet aroma of the corn complemented each other perfectly, without the slightest hint of greasiness.

With a little chewing, you can feel the egg and the earth blend together, soft on the outside and firm on the inside. Together with other ingredients, it bursts with an incredibly fresh and fragrant taste on your taste buds, with distinct layers that make it irresistible.

My reaction upon taking the first bite—no.

Excellent, the taste is superb! The second bite was amazing—ah! A delicacy! The three of them kept praising it as they ate.

Su Mingyang smiled faintly, feeling very satisfied.

Guan Gu Shenqi was eating his rice when he suddenly remembered something and asked curiously, "Mingyang-jun, is your kitchen broken over there?"

Su Mingyang swallowed his food and was about to answer when Lin Wanyu glanced at him and said, "Guan Gu, you want to ask why we came here to cook, right?"

Seeing this, Su Mingyang smiled slightly at Lin Wanyu and continued eating.
