Chapter 30

Hearing the affectionate greeting on the phone, Su Yuhao, who was still half-asleep, instantly became fully awake, and his dazed expression was replaced by a joyful smile. "Shirley, what's up? Why are you calling oppa so early?"

"Hmph, oppa, if you look out the window at the sun, you won't think it's early anymore." The clear and pleasant voice always made Su Yuhao feel the vitality of youth, which was his favorite feeling, and also the reason he liked Shirley the most. Even though Su Yuhao wasn't her biological brother, his doting, tolerance, and consideration for her, along with his proximity, made him more like a brother to her. This was why she enjoyed being close to Su Yuhao, finding a sense of family in him. Whenever something happened, the first person she thought of wasn't her family, but this non-related oppa.

"Hehe, oppa, we're not going out to play today. We're going to your place to help you clean and decorate your home." Shirley told him their plan.

"Really? That doesn't sound like the Shirley I know, who is mischievous and a foodie. Has the sun risen in the west today?" Su Yuhao, in a good mood, teased Shirley.

"Hmph, bad oppa, I'm not talking to you anymore." Hearing Su Yuhao's words, Shirley said with some dissatisfaction.

"Alright, I won't tease you anymore. Tell me, why did you think of coming to my place? You usually practice so hard, and now that you have some rest time, why not sleep in? You know, oppa loves to sleep for days on end." Although Su Yuhao didn't think Shirley was a foodie, he didn't believe she would think of cleaning. After all, the maknae's personality was too carefree, and she was still a child. The only person who could think of such things around Shirley was Song Qian, who triggered his mission. However, although he had already guessed, he still wanted to confirm his suspicions from someone else, which would make him even more excited.

"Okay, actually, I like to sleep in too, but it was Unnie who said she wanted to use your kitchen to cook some delicious food, so I thought of going to oppa's place to help you clean your room." Shirley agreed and revealed Song Qian.

Hearing the answer he wanted, Su Yuhao laughed happily for a while before realizing the phone call was still on.

"Got it, you can come over directly. I still have plenty of ingredients. I usually don't have time, so this is a good opportunity to show off my cooking skills."

"Oppa, we're bringing quite a few people. I'm afraid the things you have won't be enough!"

"Oh, who are they? Has our maknae recently found a boyfriend? Are the two families meeting at my place today? If that's the case, I'm not really prepared. I think it's best to go to a restaurant, where we can accommodate everyone." Su Yuhao, in a good mood, playfully teased Shirley.

"Oppa, what are you talking about? But we are bringing quite a few people. Um, I'll let Crystal talk to you. Here, you can explain it yourself!" Shirley's voice came from the other end, followed by a few seconds of silence.

"Oppa, it's Crystal." Crystal said softly.

"Ah, Crystal! What's up? Did you get into trouble? Just tell me, oppa will help you, don't worry." Hearing Crystal's soft voice, Su Yuhao confidently promised.

"No, it's just that my Unnie found out that you took some pocket money from her last time and mentioned that oppa treated us to a meal. So, Unnie wants to meet you. Today, I have a day off, and we were planning to go to your place secretly, but we accidentally ran into Unnie, so we had to come clean. So, she will also be coming over. Oppa, I'm sorry." Little Crystal explained softly.

"Ah, it's fine. Since it's your sister, she's a friend too. Don't worry, just come over. I'll prepare all the ingredients for you. By the way, is Xi-ge with you? If she is, give her the phone." Hearing Crystal's timid voice, Su Yuhao found it amusing. Sometimes he really couldn't understand these young girls; they were completely relaxed about big things but always worried about small things that might cause trouble for others.

"Hello, I'm Song Qian." Whenever she spoke to Su Yuhao, Song Qian used Chinese, which made her feel comfortable and added a layer of confidentiality.

"Alright, no need to say more. We can talk when we meet. What dishes are you planning to make, and how many people are coming over this time?" Although he wanted to say more, it wasn't the right time. So, Su Yuhao directly asked Song Qian what he needed to prepare.

"About 7 people. Buy some tofu, pork, ribs, fish, and some vegetables. I have all the seasonings, so just prepare these." After hearing Su Yuhao's words, Song Qian directly stated her needs.

"Got it. Be careful when you come over. I'll go out now, and when you're on your way, call me, and I'll come to pick you up." Su Yuhao reminded her at the end.

"Okay, be careful too. Don't rush, we still need to wait a bit before we start. You have plenty of time." After so much interaction, she had some understanding of Su Yuhao.

Hearing Song Qian's concern, Su Yuhao felt energized, but it wasn't the time to show affection, so he reluctantly hung up the phone, then started to freshen up and prepare to go shopping.

After a while, Su Yuhao finished everything and was about to leave. Suddenly, he paused, looking at the empty living room. He suddenly remembered something, then went to a corner near the kitchen and cleared a suitable space. With a wave of his hand, an energy-saving refrigerator appeared. He plugged in the power cord to disguise it, then looked at it with satisfaction, nodded, and set off to prepare for the upcoming gathering.
