Chapter 8 Cai Jia, the Guardian of Lu Zhao's Love

"Ah! This rice cooker is broken!" Zou Ning said with a frown after fiddling with it for a long time.

Cai Jia quickly stood up, ran over to check, and said, "It's really bad! What should we do!"

Zou Ning looked in the direction of the food ingredients area and said helplessly, "There's flour there. Let's get some flatbread to eat!"

Cai Jia's brows furrowed even deeper this time. "But I like rice. I can't live without rice."

After that, Cai Jia walked in the direction of Mr. Liang and said, "I'm going to discuss it with Mr. Liang to see if I can change the rice cooker?"

"It's useless. When I first arrived in the mountains, I found that it was broken. I told the show's crew but they would not change it." Xu Qingyu stood in front of the freshly cooked dishes and said casually.

Hearing this, Cai Jia lowered his head and sat back on the small wooden stool.

Xu Qingyu picked up the sweet and sour pork ribs on the plate, turned the plate around and looked around. She said unhurriedly, "When I came here, I had already soaked the rice in advance. I can make claypot rice later."

When Cai Jia heard that he could eat again, his eyes lit up with expectation.

He sighed in his heart, "If Xu Qingyu doesn't like Mr. Lu, he is still willing to be friends with Xu Qingyu."

Then Cai Jia saw Xu Qingyu take out a large casserole from nowhere.

Xu Qingyu poured a layer of oil into the casserole, put the rice that had been soaked in advance on the stove, and began to cook the claypot rice.

Then, Xu Qingyu threw the potatoes into the air and cut off their skins within two moves. Her action of cutting potatoes was so fast that only her shadow could be seen.

Looking at Xu Qingyu, Restoration System couldn't help but ask, "Didn't you say you didn't know how to cook? Why are you so skilled in knife skills?"

Xu Qingyu replied while cutting potatoes, "In our sect, knife skills only belong to the basic practice because it can train our control of the sword."

Xu Qingyu put the sliced potato chips on the plate and continued, "I didn't say I couldn't cook."

A question crept into the mind of the Restoration System.

What does Xu Qingyu mean by this?

Xu Qingyu explained, "I mean that I'm not good at cooking, because I always won second place in the cooking competition of the sects before I transmigrated."

"Originally in order to conquer Lu Zhao, I had to show him my best side, so I didn't intend to cook. But I didn't expect that Qian Ran would get injured when she was peeling potatoes. I had no choice but to show my bad side."

Restoration System, ...

It really couldn't understand the host's thoughts.

Soon, the casserole gave off the fragrance of rice. Xu Qingyu covered the lid with gauze and lifted it, then put into vegetables and sausages, and cracked an egg into it with one hand.

The fragrance immediately pervaded in all directions.

Even Mr. Liang couldn't help himself when he smelled it.

He glanced at the lunch box on the folding table. It had already turned cold after it was delivered from the distance, and the dishes looked messing and dull, which made him lose his appetite.

Then he looked at the steaming and inviting dishes cooked by Xu Qingyu.

Mr. Liang kept looking at it and couldn't help swallowing.

[The food cooked by Xu Qingyu looks very good.]

[I just finished my meal. Now I'm hungry again after seeing what Xu Qingyu has cooked!]

[I've already opened the blue app and ordered a claypot rice.]

[Doesn't Xu Qingyu know how to cook? Why did she ask Ranran to cook?]

[Sick and Weak Unrequited Lover is really good at pretending! She can cook, but why didn't she cook until Ranran was injured.]

Lu Zhao had been silently concerned about Xu Qingyu.

He had wanted to show off his cooking skills in front of Xu Qingyu, such as stir-frying and wok-tossing.

But Lu Zhao only felt that all fancy tricks were too poor in comparison with real cooking skills.

Lu Zhao looked away, and the last dish was ready.

Cai Jia couldn't wait to show off the dishes.

The program group arranged the dining room next to the living room on the first floor. It was connected with the living room.

The old-fashioned record player in the living room was playing light music, which just reached the dining room.

Under the warm yellow light, there was a rectangular wooden dining table.

There was a light beige leather tablecloth on the dining table, and there were three sets of white tableware on each side, six sets in all.

Matched respectively to the tableware were wooden chairs with a pink bowknot hanging on the back.

Cai Jia was very satisfied with the dining room set up by the program group.

If there weren't those lamp bulbs outside, it would be perfect!

Cai Jia immediately waved to Qian Ran, who was sitting on the sofa in the living room, and said enthusiastically, "Sister Ranran, come and sit here!"

Qian Ran heard that and looked back at Cai Jia.

Cai Jia dragged out the innermost stool and said, "Dinner will be ready soon. Ranran, come and sit down!"

Qian Ran nodded, then got up and walked to the dining room.

Wen Yangping, who had been chatting with Qian Ran, walked to the yard and wanted to bring the dishes to the dining room.

Cai Jia saw Qian Ran sitting in the seat he selected.

He was satisfied with a smile on his face.

He thought to himself that as the empty seat in the middle was reserved for Mr. Lu, he would sit just next to him."

As the assistant of Mr. Lu, he felt everything was perfect.

Tonight, he would help Mr. Lu take down Qian Ran!

The last dish cooked by Lu Zhao was also ready. He walked toward the dining room with the dish.

From a distance, he saw Xu Qingyu sitting on the right-most seat opposite Qian Ran. Lu Zhao pretended to be casually walking toward Xu Qingyu.

As Lu Zhao walked, he thought to himself, "I must communicate with Xu Qingyu as much as possible during dinner to get on intimate terms with her."

But before he could sit next to Xu Qingyu, Cai Jia, who was sitting opposite Xu Qingyu, patted the empty seat in the middle and said, " Mr. Lu, come and sit here!"

Lu Zhao glanced at the seat between Qian Ran and Cai Ji. He put down the dish and waved his hand to refuse, "I'll sit here."

Cai Jia was flustered at once.

How could that be?

Mr. Lu should take advantage of the dinner time to interact with Qian Ran.

If Wen Yangping took over such a good position, his plan would fail!

Cai Jia immediately stood up and pulled Lu Zhao to the seat next to Qian Ran and sat him on it.

In order not to make Lu Zhao and Qian Ran sense his motivation, which was embarrassing, Cai Jia pretended to be calm and said, " Mr. Lu, we belong to the same company, so we should sit together like a family!"

[Hahahaha, I'll be laughing at Cai to death sooner or later.]

[Is Cai assisting him?]

[Where is Yangyang now? Come on! Ranran is being taken away!]

In the end, Lu Zhao was pulled over by Cai Jia and sat in the middle.

Lu Zhao comforted himself, "It's okay, it's not a big deal."

Although he was sitting diagonally opposite Xu Qingyu now, it didn't affect his interaction with her.

Lu Zhao clenched his fist and coughed lightly. He pretended to be calm and said, " Xiaoyu, you've worked hard today! You've carried so many things alone and shall eat more."

Xu Qingyu nodded and said, "Thank you! But I take exercise like this every day. You don't have to worry."

Lu Zhao was stunned.

Every day, she exercised like this?

Lu Zhao was at a loss for words. He then looked at the spicy chicken made by him and asked with concern, "XiaoYu, what do you like to eat?"

Xu Qingyu said, "Bland food."

That was all!

Lu Zhao had already prepared his next sentence---"I cooked this spicy chicken. Try it."

Now, because of what Xu Qingyu said, he lost the chance!

At this moment, Restoration System was even more frustrated than Lu Zhao.

There was a hint of disappointment in the tone of Restoration System as it said, "Host, why did you say that you like bland food? You should say that you like spicy food. Only in this way can you get closer to Lu Zhao."

Xu Qingyu asked in confusion, "Why should I lie? What if he finds out later?"

Restoration System, ...

Well, it really couldn't understand the straight-forward woman's thinking.

"What's wrong with Xu Qingyu. Mr. Lu, such a big star talks to her but it looks like she doesn't care."

[Why are you pretending, Sick and Weak Unrequited Lover? No matter how cold you pretend to be, Lu Zhao won't like you.]

[Xu Qingyu really has a lot of teasing tricks up her sleeve!]

[Xu Qingyu said, "It's so hard for me!"]

[Hasn't anyone noticed that Mr. Lu has been taking the initiative to talk to Xu Qingyu?]

Sitting on the side, Cai Jia was drooling over the spicy chicken. Suddenly, he remembered that someone said on the Internet, "Xu Qingyu joins the 'Heart Skips A Beat' for Lu Zhao."

He immediately got nervous.

In order not to let Xu Qingyu ruin the feelings between Lu Zhao and Qian Ran.

Cai Jia pointed at the vegetables in front of him and said, "Sister Xu, I cooked this boiled vegetable. Try it!"

Xu Qingyu said softly, "Okay!"

At this time, Wen Yangping was carrying a plate of shredded pork with green pepper, and Zou Ning behind him was holding a plate of fried green string beans. The two of them were walking toward the dining room.

Wen Yangping saw that there were only two empty seats left in the dining room. The one on the far left was opposite Qian Ran, and the one in the middle was opposite Lu Zhao.

Wen Yangping swiftly put down the dish and sat opposite Qian Ran.

Zou Ning following behind could only sit in the only empty seat in the back.

As soon as Wen Yangping sat down, he pushed the plate of shredded pork with green pepper in the direction of Qian Ran and said, "I specially cooked it for you outside just now. Try it."

When Cai Jia heard this, he looked at Lu Zhao who was sitting next to him, and sighed in his heart with disappointment.

With his attitude, how could Mr. Lu win Qian Ran's heart.

As a result, Cai Jia imitated Wen Yangping and pushed the spicy chicken in the direction of Qian Ran and said, "Ranran, this spicy chicken was cooked by Mr. Lu. This is his specialty and delicious! Try it quickly!"

Qian Ran nodded and said gently, "Well, Lu Zhao, eat more! Everyone, eat more!"

[I'm not envious of Yuanyang and immortals. I'm just envious of Qian Ran every day!]

[Ranran is indeed popular. All the male guests are surrounding her.]

[Mr. Lu is so dull. He must be very shy now.]

[I was wondering why Yangyang had been out for so long. It turns out that he specially cooked for Ranran. I'm so envious!]
