Chapter 123: Suddenly Became an Outsider
With Teacher He’s sideline coaching, the quality of the dishes noticeably improved. Set on the table steaming hot, although still not surpassing the food prepared by the two women, they were at least appetizing to look at.
Qin Guanglin briskly fetched the leftover orange juice from the fridge and poured a cup for each person. "To celebrate Chef Qin’s improved culinary skills."
The two, absorbed in their own worlds, picked up their drinks without a toast. He didn’t mind, and with glee, guzzled it down, watching Qin’s Mom pick up the food. Leaning in, he asked, "Tasty, right?"
"Not bad, much better than before." Qin’s Mom nodded without even glancing at Qin Guanglin. Turning her head, she praised He Fang, "You taught him well. You’re truly skilled."
"Oh, I just made a few comments on the side." He Fang modestly intervened, "He himself is a quick learner."
"With a few more lessons, he could probably graduate. Just stir-frying greens isn’t enough; teach him some tougher dishes, and then he can do it all by himself," Qin’s Mom commented while eating.
He Fang suppressed a smile. "Yes, I’ll make sure he learns."
Sitting on the side, Qin Guanglin spooned through his rice with puffed cheeks, glancing left and right at the two women.
What’s going on with these two?
They were talking as if he’d be the one cooking from now on... Was it because he entered the room in the wrong way? Why did it feel like his mom had suddenly become his mother-in-law?
Originally, he wanted to learn a few cooking tricks considering Teacher He’s monthly visits, as it would be inconvenient for her to cook. He planned to take over everything from cooking to dishwashing during those days—though making meals for Teacher He every day would be nice, but he also wanted to savor her cooking.
