Chapter 217: Chapter 216: Breakup Kitchen, Xia Qianjun Becomes a Pervert?

Southeast Walking Street.

Inside Love Kitchen.

The auntie was patrolling the public kitchen.

This was her job, and also her duty.

After all, the ones busy in the kitchen were mostly young couples.

The young people of today, who among them know how to cook?

Every time the kitchen is open, if these couples didn’t cause some accident, she’d actually find it strange.

Sometimes, minor accidents like burns and scalds on the hands are already considered trivial.

She still remembered one time, a couple was cooking, but ended up quarreling suddenly, and even started physically fighting; they nearly burned the kitchen down.

Heaven knows how they manage at home, how can one manage to burn down the kitchen while cooking?

So, the auntie knew the weight of her responsibility well, with more than a dozen couples in this public kitchen, she had to keep an eye on each and every one of them.

"If I hadn’t taken your money, I wouldn’t bother watching you cook!"

With a hint of disdain, the auntie patrolled among the couples.

"Wife, you scale the fish."

"No thanks, husband, you do it. The fish smells fishy and there’s blood, I’m scared~"

"Okay, okay, I’ll do it. Then you can cut the tofu."

"Yeah, alright, I’ll cut the tofu~"

"Wife, be careful with the knife!"

"Ouch, I cut my finger, wuwuwu..."

The auntie massaged her forehead; this couple’s behavior was still considered normal, they were more typical among the couples in Love Kitchen.

They rarely cook, and they came here not really to cook, but to enjoy the experience of cooking together.

But what they don’t understand is that cooking actually isn’t fun, and it’s tiring too.

This is a common problem among contemporary young people, rather than wasting time cooking, it’s better to order takeout, or just go out to eat.

Cooking is indeed time-consuming and laborious, and without the skills, the food ends up tasting bad, which can also dampen the enthusiasm to cook again.

Thus, among young people, few are adept at cooking.

The auntie looked at this couple and had no surprises in mind.

Because this pair, they were among the better behaved ones.

She then turned to look at the next few tables.

"Wife, you cut the meat!"

"You cut it!"

"Why is it me again? I washed and cut the vegetables, I prepared the ingredients, and now you’re telling me you can’t even chop meat into cubes?"

"I never cook at home, and besides, you promised my mom you wouldn’t let me suffer the slightest bit!"

"But we paid for this, and if you do nothing at all, isn’t that a bit unreasonable?"

"I’m not listening, I’m not listening..."

This table, the female was quite finicky, having no intention of cooking from the start, not even willing to touch the utensils or knives.

The man was also a bit helpless, or perhaps suppressing the dissatisfaction in his heart, ending up doing everything by himself.

What could he do, having found himself a delicate fairy?

After seeing this couple, the auntie shook her head again.

But it was fine, they also belonged to the "normal" couples who come here.

Nowadays, many girls are delicate, many women’s ten fingers are not accustomed to the touch of spring water.

As long as you don’t fight, everything’s negotiable...

"Husband, chop the vegetables!"

"Husband, cook the rice!"

"Husband, make the soup!"

"Husband..."

"Stop! Why is it always me? Can’t you even press the rice cooker button?"

"Why should I do it? With you here, why should I have to lift a finger?"

"You..."

"’Me what me,’ I’m the delicate fairy here, not meant for the kitchen. And besides, I didn’t say it, but we should have booked a restaurant for a candlelight dinner this weekend. Instead, you insisted on coming here to cook ourselves, what’s so good about that?"

"Sigh, let’s just break up. I feel we’re not compatible..."

"What? What did you say? Say it again?"

"I said... let’s break up!"

"You heartless beast, you took my body last night, and today you want to break up? Are you planning on abandoning me after having your fill?"

"Say whatever you want, I’m tired. Let’s hurry up!"

"I, you, motherf*#$&...￥@%￥&%..."

After seeing this couple, the auntie finally couldn’t hold it in anymore.

Even though it was the woman who was aggressive in the beginning, the man didn’t seem to want to coax or persuade at all; he even took this opportunity to suggest breaking up.

This wouldn’t be good, the couple has already started cursing at each other, and it might not be long before they come to blows.

Once they started, the kitchen might suffer collateral damage.

The aunt hurriedly exchanged glances with a colleague nearby, preparing to flank them from front and back, to prevent the couple from fighting.

Because once they started fighting, the kitchen could easily turn into a battlefield, which would be very dangerous!

"Get out, get out of here!"

"Hmph, fine, I’ll go!"

Fortunately, the couple’s argument didn’t escalate into a physical fight. The woman cried out a curse, and the man left without looking back, without a hint of reluctance.

The woman stood there, incredulous as she watched the man leave without hesitation.

Once the man’s back was out of sight, she cried, and she cried loudly.

"Miss, are you still going to cook?" the aunt asked softly as she approached.

"Didn’t you see the man’s run off? Why would I cook now, for dogs to eat?"

The woman cursed, then ran out of the kitchen in tears.

"Well, at least they didn’t fight..."

The aunt sighed and began cleaning up the table.

But inside, she was muttering that this was just the first pair, hoping there would be fewer couples quarrelling today.

In the past, there were always quite a few couples coming in to cook, but also quite a few breaking up after cooking together, averaging three or four break-ups per day.

No wonder people were calling "Love Kitchen" "Breakup Kitchen" on the Internet.

Just as the aunts finished clearing up that table, a couple from the table next door started having a dispute.

"What do you mean ’you’? Can’t even chop a vegetable properly?"

"And what about you? Don’t you know you need to add oil when you fry?"

"What about you, can’t even tell sugar from salt?"

"You still talk about me, to make soup you need to add water, and yet you poured oil?"

"You *$&!"

"You &*$%..."

And sure enough, another argument broke out.

The aunt shook her head internally, knowing that once they started arguing, the outcome would most likely be...

"Breakup!"

"Then let’s breakup!"

This pair was quite resolute, agreeing to break up without a moment’s hesitation.

They turned away from each other, then left, one after the other, wanting nothing more to do with their partner.

There goes another couple.

The aunt started to get busy again, unaffected by it all.

After finishing up, she continued her rounds.

"Zhang, how are my potato slices?"

"Not bad, every slice is of the same thickness. You are indeed a former surgeon, your knife skills are impressive!"

"Thanks for the compliment. By the way, you said after slicing potatoes they should be soaked in water to prevent oxidation and wash off the surface starch?"

"Right, that’s it. While you’re at it, could you chop the carrots too? I’ll scale the fish and slice it."

"Yeah, your knife skills are great too, the way you fillet and cut meat is so skilled."

"Thank you for the praise, but I’ve just got a lot of practice. It’s nothing compared to your skilled hands."

"Zhang, it looks like the rice is cooked?"

"OK, I’ll lay out the toppings for the rice, let it cook for another 10 minutes and it will be ready to eat."

"Mm-hmm~"

This table was naturally Zhang Wei and Jessica.

The aunt was relieved because she could not remember the last time she saw such a harmonious couple.

This pair did not have a single dispute from beginning to end, their relationship was very strong.

Jessica was slicing tomatoes and she offered a slice to Zhang Wei. The two exchanged a smile, in complete bliss.

The aunt felt envious. If her husband could do the same while she cooked, just the thought filled her with happiness.

For some reason, her heart felt a tinge of sourness.

The only pity about this couple might be that the young man was rather ordinary-looking, while the woman was blond-haired, blue-eyed, stunningly beautiful, and had an explosive figure.

But that was probably a good thing, an ordinary-looking man tended to be more down-to-earth.

The aunt nodded contentedly; this was the kind of customer Love Kitchen needed.

Thinking this, she turned her head, only to be met with a rather shocking scene.

She saw two guys standing face to face, neither showing any sign of beginning to cook.

"Gao Yang, why don’t you cook?"

"Luo Qi, when did you start to have the delusion that I can cook?"

"Didn’t you take care of heating the food when we were on missions together?"

"Those were canned goods, you just put them on the fire and heat them up, no skill involved!"

"Then don’t look at me. When I was on missions outside, I ate raw meat and drank mud water. I never cooked for myself, just roasted some meat over a fire after hunting!"

"So what do we do now?"

"Don’t ask me, I don’t know how either!"

If the previous couples were considered normal, Zhang Wei and Jessica were like a breath of fresh air, then this pair was more like a mudslide.

The aunt was also frustrated, wondering how there could actually be two men who attended their Love Kitchen class.

The main issue was that you actually came, but you’re not even cooking.

Standing in the kitchen for half a day and not even touching a single grain of rice, what kind of situation was that?

If you hadn’t paid the registration fee and the materials fee, I would have really wanted to kick you both out for being such an eyesore.

But now...

It’s even better that you haven’t done anything, I earn your headcount fee for nothing!

Seeing the two still giving each other blank stares, the aunt lost all desire to remind or instruct them.

In the end, the aunt came to the last table, which she felt had the biggest problem.

"Handsome, why are you not talking?"

"Handsome, I cut up some fruit, do you want to try some?"

"Handsome, our Guoguo here is still single, do you have a girlfriend? If not, why not consider us?"

"Yeah, although there’s a line of people chasing me that could circle a few hundred meters, if it’s you, I might consider it, you know~"

"Handsome..."

Guoguo and Chengzi, the two girls, were fawning over Xia Qianjun non-stop, occasionally trying to strike up a conversation.

Unfortunately, Xia Qianjun completely ignored their efforts and had his eyes fixed solely on Zhang Wei’s table.

"What’s with this guy, two girls are being so forward and he doesn’t even react a bit?"

"I remember he came with that couple, could it be that he is also...?"

The aunt turned her head and glanced at Gao Yang and Luo Qi’s table, harboring a very unpleasant suspicion in her mind.

Alas, in this day and age... there really is every kind of person.

It’s a shame for the two girls; they don’t even realize that all their efforts are in vain.

The fact was not only the aunt felt this way, but even Guoguo and Chengzi, the people involved, were feeling dejected.

Especially Guoguo, as a female live streamer with hundreds of thousands of fans online, she was very confident in her own looks.

If not, why else would her viewers call her wife, goddess, fairy every time? Weren’t they all affirmations of her charm?

Unfortunately, upon arriving at Love Kitchen, she began to doubt whether her looks were really "up to par."

Especially when she saw the handsome guy she fancied staring intently at the table not far away, this doubt was greatly magnified.

Following Xia Qianjun’s gaze, she saw Zhang Wei and Jessica.

The man was of average looks, neither ugly nor handsome, Pass!

Guoguo figured that Xia Qianjun definitely wasn’t looking at Zhang Wei because this man was too ordinary and had no noteworthy aspects.

If he wasn’t looking at a man, then he had to be looking at a woman.

Guoguo turned her attention to the blonde-haired, blue-eyed woman with a bombshell figure, then looked down at herself.

Totally no match!

Be it looks or figure, the other woman completely outshone her by several streets.

Damn, why could that woman be so busty, so statuesque!

She naturally assumed Xia Qianjun was attracted to that woman, hence his indifference towards her.

But she was overthinking it; Xia Qianjun was indifferent to Jessica.

While that woman was attractive, Xia Qianjun was the type to prioritize tasks, and he kept his gaze locked on Zhang Wei.

"Having a little sister and coming out with a foreign woman, utterly despicable!"

Xia Qianjun’s stare at Zhang Wei grew more hostile by the moment.

And he was equally dismissive of the proactive attempts from the two girls beside him.

Other men at different tables might have envied him for having two girls showing interest.

But not Xia Qianjun.

It just goes to show how joys and sorrows differ from person to person; he simply found them noisy...

minutes later, Zhang Wei’s table had finished making their meal.

The delicious aroma of the food made several couples nearby repeatedly glance over with envy.

Although they had held on until now, many of their ingredients were still not properly handled.

And there you were, not only did you finish cooking, but the food smelled so good, and now you’re ready to eat.

Zhang Wei and Jessica, of course, paid no mind to the onlookers, and sat down to heartily enjoy their meal in public.

It must be said, the fruit of one’s own labor always tastes exceptionally delicious.

After a delightful meal, Zhang Wei and Jessica naturally walked out of Breakup... no, Love Kitchen, in high spirits.

With them gone, Xia Qianjun naturally had no reason to stay behind, so without a backward glance, he followed them out.

"Handsome, handsome!"

"We haven’t finished our meal yet?"

Seeing this, Guoguo and Chengzi next to him became anxious and called out a few times, but in the end, they had no choice but to follow them out.

"Did Jun leave?"

"What are you standing there for, chase after him!"

Luo Qi and Gao Yang, of course, also acted together, as they had been following Xia Qianjun.

By the time they strode onto the Southeast Walking Street, they saw Zhang Wei and Jessica enter a coffee shop and pick a seat by the window to settle down.

Finishing a meal and then enjoying a drink really is a lovely thing!

"Damn, this dude really knows how to live it up!"

"And he’s out here with such a beautiful woman. I remember he’s supposed to be Xia Qianjun’s sister’s boyfriend, right?"

"Xia Qian, you’ve got to hold it in, you must keep your cool, that guy deserves to die, but this is Dongfang Capital, if you do anything..."

Luo Qi and Gao Yang were both envious and jealous of Zhang Wei, but at the same time, they were somewhat worried.

You fool, why mess around behind your girlfriend’s back and then get caught by Xia Qianjun.

You’re as good as dead!

Inside the coffee shop.

Zhang Wei had no clue he was dancing with death.

All he cared about was when Luo Xiaobu would arrive.

"What’s going on with Radish? I sent a few messages, why haven’t I received a reply?"

Staring at the gray avatar on WeChat and those missed call logs, Zhang Wei felt helpless.

Luo Xiaobu, are we now out of touch?

He, Zhang Wei, was actually stood up?

"Zhang, think positively, your friend not coming means I get to monopolize you for a bit longer?"

Jessica sitting across him laughed, her smile as refreshing as spring, paired with a timely joke that made one feel warmth inside.

Brilliant!

Truly brilliant!

Zhang Wei’s heart felt a little stirred.

"Yeah, that kid not showing up means I get to spend the day with a gorgeous lady like you. That’s fortune others can’t even beg for..." Zhang Wei chuckled with a smirk.

Look at the problem from another perspective, and maybe a bad thing could become a good thing.

Luo Xiaobu standing him up doesn’t seem like such a big deal now.

While Zhang Wei was enjoying his moment with Jessica, Xia Qianjun and his group were feeling rather unhappy on the other side.

They, too, entered the coffee shop and chose a spot not too far from Zhang Wei.

Similarly, Guoguo and Chengzi also arrived, both looking forlornly at Xia Qianjun.

"Dammit, how dare this guy? To have a beauty cook for him and keep him company in conversation, I’m dying of envy!"

"Xia Qian, I’ve changed my mind. Let’s find a spot without surveillance later, and the three of us can take him on. I’ve wanted to beat him up for a while now!"

"Yeah, this guy’s got your sister and he’s still flirting with other women. That’s a heinous crime!"

Luo Qi and Gao Yang both had a fierce glint in their eyes.

Xia Qianjun’s expression was still extremely grim.

Meanwhile, at the neighboring table, Guoguo and Chengzi’s expressions were also tinged with gloom.

"No, I can’t let it go just like that. I can’t swallow this grievance."

Watching Xia Qianjun staring intently at Zhang Wei’s table, Guoguo couldn’t hold back anymore.

"Guoguo, what are you going to do?"

"Of course, I’m going to make trouble for this man, make him remember me in his heart!"

Guoguo’s lips curved into a cold smirk as she and Chengzi began to discuss their scheme.

At the same time, the coffee was finished.

Zhang Wei and Jessica stood up together, ready to leave.

"Follow them!"

Xia Qianjun gave a quiet command, and Gao Yang and Luo Qi obeyed, quickly starting to tail the pair.

Xia Qianjun sat for a while longer, pondering whether to contact Li Qinghua right now and tell her about Zhang Wei’s numerous offenses.

"Forget it, let’s see how things unfold a bit more."

He decided to continue his surveillance and prepared to get up.

But just as he bowed his head in contemplation, his hand seemed to touch something.

"Ah, there’s a pervert!"

Along with a scream, the whole coffee shop heard the noise.

Xia Qianjun was also frustrated—why did that scream happen near him, and why were so many people looking his way?

"It’s you, you pervert, you harassed our Guoguo!"

A shout pulled him back to reality.

He saw a woman who looked somewhat familiar, pointing at him and scolding.

"Damn it, the mission!"

Xia Qianjun didn’t want to deal with them as he still had a mission.

"You can’t go, you’ve harassed our Guoguo, and now you think you can escape!"

Chengzi immediately blocked Xia Qianjun’s path, her face full of anger.

Not only that, but other people in the coffee shop crowded around, pointing and murmuring about Xia Qianjun.

For a moment, the whole coffee shop became a lively scene.

And Zhang Wei, who had stepped out of the coffee shop, had no idea that his uncle seemed to have gotten himself into trouble.
