A female employee was fired for her rude attitude towards a delivery worker, only for the boss to reveal the worker was someone he respected. Later, Ye Chen agrees to cook for Xie Yingying, who is excited by the prospect. He heads to her apartment, planning to make her a special meal.

Just now Ye Chen’s hands were empty, but suddenly a lively fish appeared.

"Little fish, little fish, don’t blame me for being cruel, the main thing is that my junior wants to eat steamed fish." Ye Chen whispered while placing the fish on the cutting board.

The fish seemed to have acquired some spirit, just now it was lively and jumpy, being quite unruly.

After hearing Ye Chen’s words, the fish surprisingly stopped struggling, quietly lying on the cutting board to be butchered by Ye Chen.

This shows just how extraordinary the things from the Map of the Country are.

Of course, if Xie Yingying saw this scene, she would definitely be astounded.

At this moment, Xie Yingying was lying on the table, thinking about writing poetry.

After all, she had already agreed to participate in this writing challenge, and there was only one day left before the submission deadline.

If she really couldn’t submit anything by then, it would be a big embarrassment.

"Regarding the Mid-Autumn theme, how should I write it?" Xie Yingying frowned and muttered to herself.

Although she knew that the Mid-Autumn theme couldn’t escape the moon, she still didn’t know where to start.

This really troubled her a lot.

Ye Chen possesses Divine-level Cooking Skills, cooking for him is not only easy and simple, but it also takes much less time than it does for ordinary people.

In less than half an hour, Ye Chen had already made four dishes and one soup.

Nowadays, society advocates frugality and doesn’t allow waste.

Ye Chen, of course, responds to this call and starts from himself.

Thinking that there are only Xie Yingying and him at home, four dishes and one soup are more than enough, making too much would be wasteful.

Ye Chen carried the dishes to the dining table, glanced inside the room, he knew Xie Yingying was in the bedroom.

Even so, Ye Chen didn’t enter the room but called out: "Yingying, dinner’s ready."

For Xie Yingying, he was just like a brother to a sister, and for girls, it’s not right for just anyone to enter their bedroom easily.

Ye Chen of course couldn’t barge in, it would be too impolite.

"Yingying, dinner’s ready." Ye Chen called out again.

After a few calls, Xie Yingying still didn’t respond.

Ye Chen also found it a bit strange, wondering what this little girl was doing inside that she couldn’t even hear him.

Xie Yingying at this moment was deep in thought, naturally unable to hear Ye Chen’s voice.

Because if the fish cooled down, it would turn fishy, Ye Chen had no choice but to walk to the bedroom door.

He didn’t go inside, just gently knocked on the door.

It was only then that Xie Yingying snapped back to reality: "Brother Ye Chen, did you not find the spices at home?"

After all, only half an hour had passed, Xie Yingying surely wouldn’t have thought that Ye Chen had already finished cooking.

She saw Ye Chen standing at the door and thought he surely wanted her to find the spices.

"No, I came to call you for dinner." Ye Chen shook his head and said.

Upon hearing the words "dinner," Xie Yingying was utterly surprised and widened her eyes.

She hadn’t expected Ye Chen to have finished cooking so quickly.

Thinking about how before, her mom used to take about an hour to cook each time, but Ye Chen did it all in just half an hour.

Xie Yingying was stunned for a moment, then nodded and said: "Alright, I’m coming now."

She got up, walked out of the bedroom, and followed Ye Chen to the living room.

When Xie Yingying saw the dishes on the table, she was even more astonished.

Steamed bass, curry beef, garlic chicken wings, lettuce in oyster sauce, and a hot and sour soup.

Xie Yingying knew that even without mentioning the others, just this curry beef alone would usually take a long time.

Yet Ye Chen managed to make four dishes and one soup in just half an hour.

If the hotel’s head chef knew, they would surely be shocked and astounded.

"Brother Ye Chen, are these... are these all made by you just now?" Xie Yingying asked in disbelief.

"Of course, absolutely, hurry and try how it tastes." Ye Chen said with a smile.

It must be said, these dishes are truly enticing in color, smell, and taste, but Xie Yingying ate very little.

Moreover, throughout the meal, she was sighing repeatedly, not particularly happy.

"Yingying, what’s wrong?" Ye Chen asked with concern.

Ye Chen was very confident that anyone in front of his culinary creations wouldn’t be able to resist the temptation.

But Xie Yingying’s behavior was indeed unusual, seemingly preoccupied with worries.

Ye Chen knew that this little girl definitely had some worries.

"There’s really nothing much, just worrying about the poetry club’s issues." Xie Yingying sighed and said.

"Poetry club?" Ye Chen asked.

He had been to college himself and knew there were many clubs, including the poetry club.

These clubs were also to enrich the lives of college students at school, making them quite interesting.

But seeing Xie Yingying looking so troubled, Ye Chen suspected it must be related to someone.

"Yingying, tell me, is someone bullying you, it must be Liu Jun, right?" Ye Chen asked.

Because of previous events, Ye Chen knew Liu Jun harbored resentment, and might want to get revenge on Xie Yingying.

Before Xie Yingying could speak, Ye Chen continued: "No worries, Yingying, if it’s him, I’ll help you out and make sure he won’t dare to bother you again."

"It’s not that, Brother Ye Chen, no one’s bullying me, just... just..." Xie Yingying stammered.

It’s not that she didn’t want to tell Ye Chen, but she was afraid Ye Chen might laugh at her.

After all, a college student who participated in a poetry club not knowing how to write poetry, if that got out it would surely be laughed at.

Especially considering Ye Chen was rather exceptional during his college days, excelling in both sports and literature.

"Yingying, what is it really? Just tell me." Ye Chen said, looking a bit anxious.

He had no idea what had happened to this girl in front of him.

Seeing Ye Chen getting a bit anxious, Xie Yingying couldn’t afford to be concerned about anything else, she decided to tell the truth to Ye Chen.

"Yingying, don’t worry no matter what it is, I’ll help you." Ye Chen reassured her again.

"Brother Ye Chen, it’s actually because I’m worried about not being able to write a poem." Xie Yingying said, embarrassed.

Upon hearing Xie Yingying’s words, Ye Chen chuckled.

Initially, seeing the girl hesitating to reveal the reason, Ye Chen thought it might be a really difficult issue.

Only to find it’s just this matter.

If it were earlier Ye Chen might have found it hard, but for Ye Chen who just received the reward, this little issue hardly counts as anything.

"Leave this matter to me, you just obediently eat your meal." Ye Chen said, comforting as he ruffled Xie Yingying’s little head.

"But, but..." Xie Yingying looked at Ye Chen and said.

"No buts, if you don’t obediently eat your meal, I won’t help you." Ye Chen said, threatening.

Upon hearing Ye Chen’s words, although Xie Yingying still felt a bit uneasy in her heart, she lowered her head and ate.

After all, with the delicious food right in front of her, it wouldn’t make sense to lose appetite over a small matter like this.
