Lin Yi also learned from Uncle Fu that if he didn’t come, Chu Mengyao and Chen Yushu would eat breakfast at the school cafeteria every morning. However, Lin Yi didn’t mind cooking at all.

There was some leftover rice from last night, and Lin Yi planned to make a fried rice, which was just a matter of lifting a hand.

Lin Yi got dressed, left the room, and headed towards the dining room.

Opening the refrigerator in the kitchen, he found a sausage and a few eggs. Lin Yi wasn’t worried about these items expiring; Uncle Fu would often check and replace them with fresh ones. Although the two princesses rarely cooked themselves, it was always good to have these things on hand. Sometimes, when Chu Mengyao was hungry at night, she could fry an egg herself.

After searching for a while, he couldn’t find any scallions. Since the "Scallion Song" became popular, the price of scallions had risen, so Lin Yi decided to skip the scallions.

Lin Yi often made fried rice at home, so a fragrant pot of fried rice was quickly ready. He served himself a bowl, ate it quickly, and then washed the bowl and put it back on the rack.

Lin Yi was also afraid that yesterday’s incident would repeat, so he washed and put away the used utensils himself.

Perhaps it was the noise he made, but soon, Chu Mengyao and Chen Yushu, yawning and wearing pajamas, came down from upstairs. Both of their pajamas had cartoon patterns, looking very cute, which seemed a bit out of place for their age. However, Lin Yi understood since they usually watched anime... girls... especially those like princesses, were a bit childish.

Under their nightgowns, their smooth, beautiful legs made Lin Yi’s blood boil. Couldn’t these girls be a bit more careful at home? Do they really think he doesn’t exist? Don’t think he wouldn’t dare to push them down... well, he actually wouldn’t dare...

"Wow, Arrow Brother, you’ve prepared breakfast for us again!" Chen Yushu wrinkled her nose and followed the scent to the kitchen: "Oh, it’s fried rice today, my favorite."

"Cough, cough..." Chu Mengyao was a bit unhappy with Chen Yushu’s obvious display. How could you let Lin Yi get so smug?

"Sister Mengyao, are you eating?" Chen Yushu took a bowl, served herself, and asked Chu Mengyao.

"I... I don’t like it." Chu Mengyao still couldn’t bring herself to eat something Lin Yi made. Eating his food would make her feel indebted, even though she had eaten it the day before and the day before that. But today... well, Chen Yushu really should just eat it, and act like it’s the most delicious thing ever.

"Let’s eat together. I made a lot. If you don’t eat it, it will be wasted." Lin Yi smiled, as if he could see through Chu Mengyao’s pretense.

"Oh, the teacher said not to waste food, so I’ll eat a little bit then." Chu Mengyao hesitated for a moment and then took the opportunity Lin Yi provided.

"Ha..." Lin Yi didn’t say anything. The princess knew about saving food?

"You two eat slowly. I’ll go for a walk." Lin Yi was afraid that his presence would make Chu Mengyao uncomfortable, so he turned and walked out of the villa...

"Sister Mengyao, haven’t you noticed? Arrow Brother is a very considerate man. He’s strong, can cook, and... now that I look at him, he’s quite handsome too!" Chen Yushu said softly to Chu Mengyao while eating the fried rice.

"Xiao Shu, are you serious? Two bowls of noodles and a bowl of fried rice have already corrupted you? You’re starting to speak up for him?" Chu Mengyao widened her eyes at Chen Yushu: "Are you in heat or something?"

"You’re the one in heat!" Chen Yushu blushed and said: "I’m just afraid someone else will get to him first. You’ll regret it later! I think Song Lingshan, that fox, is very interested in Arrow Brother. They’ve only known each other for two and a half days, and they’re already getting close!"

"Him? Who cares!" Chu Mengyao pouted: "I don’t think he’s a good person. Song Lingshan lures him in with a snap of her fingers..."

Speaking of Song Lingshan, Chen Yushu felt a bit depressed. How could her big brother like such a woman? If he knew about the relationship between Song Lingshan and Lin Yi, he would go crazy...

"Achoo!" Lin Yi sneezed as soon as he stepped out. What’s wrong with him? Is he catching a cold? It’s not cold in the morning. Of course, Lin Yi didn’t know that the two girls inside were eating the fried rice he made and talking about him.

Although Lin Yi had been living in the villa for three days, this was the first time he carefully observed the outside. This area was clearly where the rich and powerful lived. Anyone who could afford a house here was either wealthy or influential.

Chen Yushu’s identity made Lin Yi a bit suspicious. He had never seen her family, but she lived in a villa, so her family must be no ordinary people.

A black Ferrari sped by from not far away, its engine roaring arrogantly. As it approached Lin Yi, the Ferrari slowed down, and the person inside gave Lin Yi a puzzled look. He had seen most of the young masters and misses in the area, but Lin Yi was unfamiliar to him. The Ferrari stopped at the entrance of Chu Mengyao’s villa, and the driver rolled down the window. It was a young man.

"Hey, buddy, are you new here?" the young man asked Lin Yi.

"Me? I guess so..." Lin Yi didn’t know who this person was, but since he didn’t show any other intentions, Lin Yi gave him a face and answered.

"My name is Sun Yikai. If you ever have any trouble, you can mention my name. I’ll take care of everyone in our Seaview Villa Bay!" the young man said to Lin Yi.

"Okay, thanks." Lin Yi nodded, looking at the enthusiastic Sun Yikai. Although he didn’t need anyone to protect him, Sun Yikai didn’t seem to have any ill intentions, so Lin Yi didn’t want to offend him.

Seeing that Lin Yi didn’t seem to recognize his name, Sun Yikai smiled faintly and didn’t say much more: "Buddy, I haven’t been to school for a long time. I need to report in today. We’ll see each other another day."

"See you." Lin Yi waved at him.

Sun Yikai started the car and drove off with a roar.

From Sun Yikai’s words, Lin Yi got a general idea. Sun Yikai seemed to be well-connected in society and took care of everyone in the villa area because they were in the same area.

However, this could also be seen as showing off. Regardless, Sun Yikai wasn’t very annoying, and Lin Yi didn’t show any particular reaction to him.

Not long after Sun Yikai left, Lin Yi saw several luxury cars pass by, but they didn’t stop. Besides sports cars, there were Mercedes-Benz, BMW, and Audi, as well as some top-tier luxury cars like Bentley and Rolls-Royce.
