"Oh my, if there's anyone to blame, it's you for cooking such delicious dishes. I was so focused on eating that I completely forgot to serve you rice! Tee-hee, my mistake. Let me get you some right now. You've worked hard, Chef Lin!"

After Lin Feng said that, Su Zi, instead of getting angry, playfully stuck out her tongue at him. She then got up and, giggling, served Lin Feng a heaping large bowl of rice.

"Miss, have you ever served anyone rice before...? Do you think I'm a pig that can eat all this rice?"

Looking at the enormous bowl of rice, Lin Feng gave a helpless, bitter chuckle.

"Hmph, don't play innocent after taking advantage. This is the first time I've ever served anyone rice! You took my first time!"

"Uh..."

Hearing Su Zi's frank and lively words, Lin Feng couldn't help but feel exasperated. Miss, can't you watch what you're saying and maintain your image a little?

"Lin Feng, where did you learn to cook? Your food is so delicious! Hehe, from now on, I'm counting on you for my meals!"

As they ate, Su Zi suddenly blurted this out, leaving Lin Feng utterly speechless.

"Alright, but from now on, you'll have to pay for the groceries, heh," Lin Feng replied with a smile.

Su Zi rolled her eyes at him. "So stingy! It's just groceries. This Miss can afford that much..."

"Whoa, I didn't realize you were so well-off. A true 'fair, rich, and beautiful' lady, huh?"

"Of course. This Miss has never been modest."

"Then let me ask, what's your monthly allowance?"

"I'm not telling you. Anyway, it's a lot, hehe."

"How much is 'a lot'?"

"A lot is enough to support you, tee-hee."

"Whoa there! My price is very high, you know. Besides, I have my principles. I'll dine with you, drink with you, but I absolutely won't sleep with you... unless it's a 'fair, rich, and beautiful' lady like yourself. In that case, I might even offer myself up for free... Haha!"

"Stop flattering yourself! I'm full... Oh, so full. I'm going upstairs. Good night, handsome."

Seeing Su Zi get up to leave, Lin Feng called out from behind her, "Hey, Beauty Su, if you go upstairs, who's going to wash the dishes?"

"Lin Feng, don't you have any tenderness in your heart for a lady? Would you really have my soft, delicate hands covered in grease? Would you really let my fragrant, slender hands be tainted by the smell of food? Could you bear to..."

"Alright, alright, I'll wash the dishes." Lin Feng sighed heavily and surrendered. This girl should be a writer; it's a waste of talent if she doesn't pursue that. That string of parallel phrases has left me utterly speechless.

There was no helping it. Living with two great beauties, Lin Feng did have a soft spot for them, so he obediently went to wash the dishes. He'd originally said he wouldn't come here to be a nanny, but it seemed his first day in the villa was already off to a bad start!

After finishing the dishes and putting the leftovers in the refrigerator, it was already past eight in the evening.

Lin Feng whistled as he headed to the bathroom to enjoy a comfortable bath before returning to his room.

The layout of the ground floor was a bit impractical. Lin Feng's bedroom was to the right of the entrance. In the middle were the stairs leading to the second floor. To the left, behind the kitchen, was the bathroom. Therefore, every time Lin Feng wanted to take a bath or use the toilet, he had to take a long detour.

In her bedroom on the second floor, Su Zi, full and content, said to Ning Aoxue, who was reclining on the bed reading a book, "Aoxue, you have no idea how delicious Lin Feng's cooking is! He can take the most ordinary vegetarian dishes and create flavors that even a five-star hotel chef couldn't match. I've never eaten such good vegetarian food in my life! Haha, we're in for a treat from now on!"

RUMBLE...

As Su Zi finished speaking, Ning Aoxue's stomach grumbled uncontrollably. It was eight in the evening, and Ning Aoxue had eaten little for lunch, so it was impossible for her not to be hungry now.

The sound of her stomach growling made the great beauty's face flush with embarrassment.

"Hmph, don't boast in front of me... I won't believe you," Ning Aoxue shot Su Zi an unhappy look. She had barely finished speaking when her stomach rumbled loudly again, as if to expose her lie. Ning Aoxue quickly pulled the blanket beside her over her stomach.

"Hee-hee, regardless of how well Lin Feng cooks, you must be hungry, right? You have to eat, right? Lin Feng cooked enough for the three of us, and there are still leftovers. He's in his room right now, so you can sneak downstairs for a bite; he won't know," Su Zi said, giggling.

"I'm not hungry. I won't eat. I'll just consider tonight a diet," Ning Aoxue declared stubbornly. She was indeed hungry, but she would never bow her head to Lin Feng. It's just one meal; it's not like I'll starve to death, hmph!

"Alright, you're really something... I'm going to take a shower and go to bed. Ah, sleeping on a full stomach, I'm sure I'll have sweet dreams tonight." Su Zi stood up to get her clothes.

"Don't gloat in front of me. Once I've made a decision, I absolutely won't change it!" Ning Aoxue saw through Su Zi's intentions.

Su Zi giggled to herself. Go on, keep being stubborn. Hmph, hmph. We both ate so little for breakfast and lunch; let's see how long you can last.

That night, Ning Aoxue also took a bath and then went to bed with Su Zi.

Su Zi seemed truly relaxed. Soon, she lay motionless, breathing evenly, evidently having drifted off to dreamland.

Ning Aoxue, on the other hand, couldn't sleep. Her stomach grumbled incessantly, making her extremely annoyed. She had drunk several glasses of plain water, hoping it would satisfy her hunger, but unexpectedly, the more she drank, the hungrier she became. It was maddening!

Ning Aoxue remembered Su Zi saying there were leftovers in the kitchen downstairs. Maybe I could sneak down and eat a little now?

No way! I said I wouldn't eat his food, and I mean it! If I sneak off to eat and he sees me, I'll lose face completely! Ning Aoxue mentally rejected the idea of going downstairs to eat.

However, after tossing and turning in bed for a while, she picked up her phone and checked the time. It was one o'clock in the morning. That guy should be asleep by now. If he's asleep, and I go down to eat something, he definitely won't see me.

No! Even if he doesn't see me, if I do something like that, I'll feel guilty myself. I can't let my resolve weaken in front of him!

But it's just eating a bit of food. The rice and vegetables were bought with my money, so why can't I eat them? Why should I feel guilty seeing him? He's living in my house! So what if he finds out? If he dares to laugh at me, I'll definitely kick him out! It's perfectly natural for me to eat the food I bought.

But...

Still...

RUMBLE...

After who knows how long of agonizing indecision, tossing and turning in bed, her stomach let out another extremely loud growl. Ning Aoxue finally made her decision and quietly sat up in bed.

At this hour, he definitely won't see me.

Reassuring herself, Ning Aoxue, dressed in her pajamas and slippers, made sure Su Zi was sound asleep before quietly opening the door and heading downstairs.

Once downstairs, to avoid waking Lin Feng, Ning Aoxue deliberately didn't turn on the lights. Using her phone for illumination, she tiptoed towards the kitchen.
