"HEHE, I certainly will in the future. However, since you said everyone should cook their own meals, I guess you won't be able to taste my cooking skills," Lin Feng teased Ning Aoxue.

Su Zi quickly raised her hand and said, "I didn't say that. HEHE, I can eat whatever you guys cook."

Ning Aoxue blushed and said with some embarrassment, "I've changed my mind. You'll be responsible for all the meals here from now on!"

"You're so fickle! Let me make it clear: I'm here to be a bodyguard, not a nanny. You ladies should figure out your own meals. I can't put up with you high-maintenance types."

Seeing Ning Aoxue's spoiled attitude, Lin Feng felt defiant. Just because he was the only one here who could cook, she was acting standoffish, as if everyone owed her something. He decided he wouldn't cater to her whims and would see what she'd do about it.

"You..."

Seeing Lin Feng's refusal, Ning Aoxue's expression changed. She glared at him for two seconds, huffed, then turned and stomped upstairs.

"Who do you think wants to eat your cooking? It's not like I'll starve! Even if you cooked it now, I wouldn't eat it!" Ning Aoxue angrily tossed this remark from upstairs before going into her room.

Lin Feng spread his hands. What was up with this young lady? Was she on her period? Her temper was certainly something.

Su Zi knew Lin Feng had upset Ning Aoxue. Having always been very independent, Ning Aoxue had probably never been provoked like this before.

With a cheerful grin, Su Zi said softly, "Lin Feng, handsome Lin..."

"For God's sake!"

Being addressed like that by Su Zi gave Lin Feng goosebumps. He quickly said with a straight face, "Hey, beautiful Su Zi, just say what you want. Calling me like that when I've just eaten a big lunch might actually make me throw up."

Su Zi stuck out her tongue and said, "HEHE. What I meant to say, Chef Lin, was when you're cooking, could you make a bit extra? That way I won't have to bother, HEHE."

So this girl wanted to freeload! Well, considering she was well-behaved, sensible, and occasionally spoke up for him, Lin Feng didn't mind cooking for one extra person.

"So you just want me to cook for two people, right?" Lin Feng asked with a grin.

"No, for three."

Su Zi pouted. "I know Aoxue best. She has a sharp tongue but a soft heart; that describes her perfectly. She's just angry right now, so don't take it personally. If you cook for three, I'll go upstairs and persuade her. She'll definitely come down to eat. Please, please..."

Aoxue is angry? How did I upset her? Lin Feng was speechless.

However, he was here to protect Ning Aoxue. He couldn't very well let her starve; that would be a poor way to fulfill his duty. Besides, cooking a bit more or less didn't make much difference. So, Lin Feng decided to be magnanimous and not bicker with the ice queen.

"Alright then. By the way, is there a market nearby? Tell me what you want to eat, and I'll go buy the ingredients," Lin Feng agreed.

Su Zi's face lit up. "I brought some vegetables; they're in the fridge. See what you can make with them. HEHE, how could little me dare to make requests? We'll eat whatever you cook. Thanks for your hard work!"

With that, Su Zi quickly ran upstairs and knocked on Ning Aoxue's door.

Ning Aoxue's room was very simple and clean. Besides a large bed and a desk, there was a wardrobe filled with high-end handbags and designer clothes. Su Zi was long accustomed to such expensive things. Since she hadn't brought anything when she moved in, she was currently sharing Ning Aoxue's bed.

Ning Aoxue had taken off her high heels and was lounging on the bed, which was covered with a purple bedsheet. Her long, slender, and curvaceous figure made even Su Zi, who also had a good figure, feel a twinge of envy.

"What are you doing up here? Haven't you defected to that guy's side? HMPH, A'zi, you really are quick to forget your friends when a man is involved."

Seeing Su Zi enter, Ning Aoxue grumbled, though there was a hint of a playful pout in her expression. Su Zi knew, however, that Ning Aoxue only showed this coquettish side to her, her best friend. Others weren't so lucky.

"HEHE... Are you jealous?"

Su Zi giggled, sat on the edge of the bed, and reached out to tickle Ning Aoxue's waist.

Ning Aoxue quickly dodged, rolling to the other side of the bed. "HMPH! Jealous? Of that guy? You're overthinking things. That annoying fellow is not my type. You, on the other hand, seem to quite like him," Ning Aoxue said, her large eyes still conveying her displeasure to Su Zi.

"Still denying you're jealous, huh? Look at that reproachful gaze of yours, as if I stole your husband, GIGGLE! Tell me honestly, do you like Lin Feng or not?" Su Zi flopped onto the bed.

"HMPH! Like him? Do you think that's possible? I'd like a pig before I liked him!" Ning Aoxue huffed, thinking of Lin Feng's flippant attitude.

It had to be said, from Jiangzhou No.1 High School all the way to Jiangzhou University, this guy was like a lingering ghost; she ran into him everywhere. It was infuriating! Every time she saw Lin Feng, she would feel inexplicably uncomfortable, or rather, her reactions weren't normal. Her emotions would spin out of control for no reason.

Hearing Ning Aoxue's words, Su Zi giggled. "I heard Lin Feng say he was born in the Year of the Pig. HEHE, Aoxue, despite all you say, it sounds like you do like him..."

"Liar! Just you wait, I'll deal with you! Siding with him instead of me! Choosing looks over loyalty, choosing looks over loyalty!"

With that, Ning Aoxue flipped over and started tickling Su Zi. Su Zi was extremely ticklish. Seeing Ning Aoxue's attack, she turned pale and quickly begged for mercy, "Aoxue, I was wrong, I was wrong, alright? My dear, don't... GIGGLE GIGGLE GIGGLE..."

The sound of the two girls' playful laughter drifted down from upstairs. Lin Feng, cooking in the kitchen, found his mind wandering. That icy Ning Aoxue could actually play around like this? It's incredible! What would she look like acting all cute and coy? Still, he figured while there might be women in the world who could make Ning Aoxue act like that, any man capable of it probably hadn't been born yet. Thinking of Ning Aoxue's perpetually frosty expression, Lin Feng could only shake his head helplessly.

"Aoxue, I already told Lin Feng. Let's go downstairs for dinner later, okay?" Su Zi suggested to Ning Aoxue after they had been playing for a while.

"Do you really believe he's a great chef?" Ning Aoxue looked at Su Zi. "I think he's just bragging. He looks like a pampered rich kid; I don't believe for a second he can cook!"
