Chapter 76 - Braised Pork 1

In the short walk from the gates to the villa, Bai Ruoruo had already finished acting out an entire palace drama in her mind.

But Xiang Yi…was distracted the entire way.

Based on the information she had obtained from Xiang Feng, the biggest conflict between the person occupying her body and fourth brother Xiang Yu was [Lies].

At first, Xiang Yi didn’t believe that someone could screw up such a good hand of cards until she heard of the ‘glorious deed’ that this person had committed. It was then she understood a truth:

“Anything is possible, courting disaster does not have to be justified.

That person had told several lies to Xiang Yu that were outrageously absurd. The most excessive one was the time she had pretended to be terminally ill, forcing Xiang Yu to come see her ‘one last time’.

At the time, Xiang Yu’s plane was about to take off for a very important esports event.

Xiang Yu had torn up his plane ticket on the spot and hurried over. When he arrived at the hospital, he was so anxious he didn’t even take the elevator, running up a dozen flights of stairs. The back of his T-shirt had been soaked through.

Only to learn: ‘Xiang Yi’ was just teasing him.

Xiang Yu had been angry for sure, but he was still grateful that she was safe and sound.

He was prepared to take the next flight to the competition, but his documents had disappeared.

When he finally recollected all his identification documents and rushed to the competition, he had missed it by two minutes. Based on the rules, he was no longer allowed to participate in the competition.

During that competition, the team he was a part of suffered a terrible defeat, and the name ‘Smog’ was bashed so hard it made it to the top of trending searches.

Later, when the servants were cleaning up, he found his documents under “Xiang Yi’s” pillow.

Xiang Yi angrily confronted her, but ‘Xiang Yi’ had acted daftly, as if she had no idea. She said she only wanted her brother to spend time with her, so why was he being so mean?

Xiang Yi paused her thoughts and furrowed her brows in distress.

She knew she had to coax people, but as for how to coax them…This was a problem.

In the living room, Shi Sui was chatting with Xiang Yu. The two had known each other from way back, and they were talking about games that were of interest to Xiang Yu so the atmosphere was very good.

Only as soon as Xiang Yi entered, Xiang Yu pulled a long face and coldly said, “I’m going to put away my luggage.”

He entered a room with familiar ease. However, the netizens in the stream did not notice, thinking the film crew had arranged this in advance.

Bai Ruoruo stepped forward and warmly greeted Shi Sui. “Hello senior Shi, I’m Bai Ruoruo. I had just signed under Xing Chen Entertainment.”

Upon hearing that Shi Sui always took care of the company’s younger generations, she was unable to pass up such a great advantage.

When dealing with people, Shi Sui did not have a single fault. His attitude was gentle and personable, but he still maintained the right sense of personal space, never overstepping the line or breaking any rules.

—[QQQQ seeing Shisui zaizai speak is so enjoyable!]

—[A comparison is enough to show who’s got the higher ground. A guest has already arrived and the Vase Fairy can’t even manage a fart]

—[Are you guys blind? Do you not see sister Yi bustling away in the kitchen? If she doesn’t make lunch, what are you guys gonna eat? The air?]

In the kitchen.

As soon as she touched the ingredients, Xiang Yi’s mood instantly calmed down.

Fourth brother liked to eat rice, and they had fresh pork on hand too. She was planning to make braised pork that paired perfectly with rice.

Xiang Yi cleaned the three-layered pork belly and blanched the froth. She then cut them into evenly sized pieces.

The girl’s knife skills were not fancy, but her hands were steady; watching her cut vegetables was a pleasure in its own.

In cold oil, she stir-fried aniseed, cinnamon, bay leaves, star anise until an aroma could be sensed, and then added rock sugar, dark soy sauce, and light soy sauce.

The dark soy sauce added color, while the light soy sauce brought flavor. Stirring everything together, the braised pork began to take shape.

—[Wait, we’re cooking again? I haven’t ordered my take-out yet]

—[I’m dieting! Stop right now! Don’t you dare make braised pork! /Erkang hands crying]

—[What deeds could have caused one to not forgive such a pretty girl who is so good at cooking! Shi Yingdi and Simao Brother can share her—I just want a bite of this pork!!]

—[Agreed]

—[Agreed +1]

At this time, the netizens still haven’t realized something about Xiang Yi’s biggest fan base: the foodies and their numbers, accumulating at an alarming rate…
