Chapter 93

"Naive child." Yang Yulan's eyes were slightly red as she patted Xu Jianxing's shoulder and then glanced at the kitchen, suddenly stunned. She saw that on a small cabinet in the corner, there were seven or eight dishes, including fish, shrimp, and crab, looking very abundant.

She wasn't really worried about the money; after all, even if there were no guests at home, she would still satisfy her son if he wanted to eat. What puzzled her was when her son had developed such a high level of cooking skills, making each dish look so authentic.

However, she didn't think too much about it, loosened her grip on Xu Jianxing's shoulder, and said with a smile, "Xiao Xing, it seems your cooking skills have improved a lot over the past year."

"That's right," Xu Jianxing replied proudly, then grabbed Xu Rou, who was trying to slip in, and said, "Little sister, you can serve the dishes, but no sneaking bites."

"Do I look like I would do that?" Xu Rou said insincerely, "I'm just being nice and helping you."

Xu Jianxing gave her a disdainful look, "Did you wash your hands?"

"I did, see?" Xu Rou couldn't wait to lift her white hands and wave them in front of Xu Jianxing.

"Alright, go in," Xu Jianxing smiled, let go of Xu Rou, and then looked at his father, who had been watching him from behind his mother, and softly called, "Dad."

"Sure, it's good to have you back," Xu Anlin replied with a smile.

Although their conversation was simple, the words conveyed a deep sense of family affection.

"Bro, move a bit, I'm bringing the dishes in," Xu Rou called out from behind Xu Jianxing, carrying two plates.

Xu Jianxing moved slightly and looked at the two plates, teasing, "Oh, my little sister is so well-behaved, she really didn't sneak any bites."

"Hmph, I've always been well-behaved," Xu Rou pouted, and then carried the two plates out.

Xu Jianxing then said to his parents, "Mom, Dad, go wash your hands and let's eat."

"Okay," Xu's parents nodded and headed towards the bathroom, while Xu Jianxing started serving the dishes.

A moment later, all the dishes were on the table, and everyone was seated.

Yang Yulan raised a glass of drink and smiled at Isabel and Aina, "I'll use this drink to welcome you to our home. I hope you enjoy your stay in Yingchuan."

"Thank you, Auntie," Isabel and Aina responded with smiles.

Then everyone raised their glasses and took a sip of the drink. As soon as Xu Rou put down her glass, she couldn't wait to ask, "Mom, Dad, can we eat now?"

"Go ahead, you little glutton," Yang Yulan said with a smile, then gestured to Isabel and Aina, "Simple fare, don't be shy, feel at home."

"Thank you, Auntie, we won't be shy," Aina, who had a more straightforward personality, said. Honestly, she couldn't hold back any longer.

"Feel at home, feel at home," Yang Yulan said with a chuckle.

Hearing this, Aina followed Xu Rou's lead and picked up a pair of chopsticks. Her first target was the green pepper and meat strips. In her eyes, this dish was incredibly delicious. One chopstick, then another, the burst of flavor made her forget all manners, focusing only on the plate of green pepper and meat strips. If it weren't for a bit of remaining rationality, she would have brought the plate to her lap and enjoyed it all to herself.

Xu Rou wasn't to be outdone, and the two of them competed fiercely.

Seeing the food in the plates rapidly decrease, Isabel's mouth watered. Unable to resist the temptation, she also joined the competition, forgetting all manners.

This left Xu Anlin and Yang Yulan speechless. The food was good, but it wasn't that impressive. They had never seen their daughter eat so carelessly, especially with guests present. But thinking about the guests, they were speechless. These two seemed to come from good families, yet they ate as if they hadn't eaten for three days.

So, the problem must be with the food. Curious, the two of them tried some of the dishes. The moment the food entered their mouths, the indescribable deliciousness made them realize it was indeed the food.

Following this, the food turned into a warm stream in their stomachs, giving them a sense of comfort as if they had taken a hot bath. The two, who had been maintaining their dignity as elders, suddenly turned into hungry wolves, their eyes glowing green, and they joined the battle with their chopsticks.

This made Xu Jianxing both amused and satisfied. Although he wanted his parents and sister to eat more, since it was a family dinner, he only ate a little symbolically.

However, even if he wanted to eat more, it wasn't possible. In just five minutes, all the food on the table was gone, and even the plates were spotless.

As a result, everyone was stuffed. Xu Anlin and Yang Yulan, in particular, were red-faced with embarrassment. Isabel also blushed and lowered her head, too ashamed to look at Xu Jianxing, feeling very embarrassed.

Xu Rou and Aina, on the other hand, were more relaxed. One reason was that they were at home, and the other was that Aina, being a Westerner, had a thicker skin and more experience.

Xu Jianxing smiled at everyone and stood up, "You all sit, I'll clean up."

"I'll do it, I'll do it," Yang Yulan, holding her stuffed stomach, quickly stood up, tidied herself up, and hurriedly left the awkward situation. Xu Anlin also pretended to help clean up and followed her into the kitchen.

Once in the kitchen, Yang Yulan whispered, "Why didn't you remind me? I'm so embarrassed."

"At that moment, I couldn't think of anything, I just wanted to eat. Honestly, I've never imagined such magical food in my life. It's like once you take a bite, you can't stop," Xu Anlin said with a sigh.

"Right, right, I feel the same. Do you think our son put something like poppy seeds in the food? I heard that if you eat it too much, you can get addicted," Yang Yulan said worriedly.

"Don't be silly. Our son wouldn't do that. Besides, food made with poppy seeds wouldn't have such a strong effect even if you ate it once," Xu Anlin rolled his eyes and then asked, "But when did Xiao Xing get such skills?"

"How would I know? We'll ask him when those two girls leave. Maybe they were attracted by the food and decided to visit our home," Yang Yulan thought for a moment and said.

"That's a possibility," Xu Anlin nodded and chuckled, "Since our son has such skills, finding a wife won't be a problem."

"Hey, hey, don't get carried away. I think Xiao Xue is a good match," Yang Yulan said without hesitation.

"I was just saying. I think Xiao Ya is also a good match," Xu Anlin agreed.

Listening to his parents' conversation, Xu Jianxing felt a bit helpless. He needed to explain the situation soon, but thinking about Lu Qian, he was a bit worried. Although his parents were open-minded, he wasn't sure how they would react to this.

At this moment, Isabel and Aina were both savoring the indescribable deliciousness and feeling a bit troubled. After this dinner, they were sure that any previous meals would taste like wax. Even the best meals in their country would be no exception.

Their gazes towards Xu Jianxing were filled with an indescribable emotion.

"Um," Xu Jianxing looked at their expressions, feeling a bit proud but also a bit wary. He knew these foreign girls weren't just interested in him, but in the food.

In fact, the main reason was that Xu Jianxing had underestimated the power of his food. With his in-game chef skills, each dish not only tasted delicious but also contained a subtle natural essence. The higher the level of this "essence," the greater the pleasure it brought and the more it changed the body.

Currently, because his chef skills were still at a low level, the effects weren't very obvious. But if he reached a higher level, the effects would be so strong that once you tasted it, you would be addicted, unable to stop thinking about it.

Seeing Xu Jianxing's expression, Isabel and Aina felt a bit unhappy. After all, they were beautiful, and they didn't like being looked at with such "anti-wolf" eyes.

Even Aina had a moment of impulse, where if Xu Jianxing asked her to be his girlfriend or lover, she would have agreed without hesitation. She couldn't let go of the indescribable deliciousness and pleasure, and after spending some time with him, she felt a sense of comfort and ease just being near him.

Isabel, although not as extreme, also had the idea of not leaving Xu Jianxing until she had her fill, ready to throw away all her pride.

If Xu Jianxing knew this, he would be at a loss. Who would have thought the food had such power? When he realized this later, he would be even more at a loss.

At this moment, Xu Jianxing stood up with a laugh and said, "How did you find the food today?" (To be continued. If you like this work, please come to起点 and vote for it with recommendation tickets and monthly tickets.)
