On the other side, because of Bai Lan, Ye Qiu naturally didn't go to work today and stayed at home instead.

But today, he unexpectedly received a call from Song Sisi.

"Ye Qiu, are you free today?" Song Sisi's voice on the phone was full of anticipation.

"Yes, what's up?"

"Can I treat you to dinner?"

"What's made you want to treat me to dinner?" Ye Qiu was a bit surprised. Although he had known Song Sisi for a long time, they hadn't spent much time together.

"Last time, you helped me out, so I want to treat you to dinner as a thank you for saving me."

Hearing this, Ye Qiu finally remembered.

Previously, Ye Qiu helped Song Sisi's brother out of a situation; at that time, she had already intended to treat him to dinner.

But Ye Qiu was too busy and declined, and then she was taken by Yang Tian, and he rescued her once again. Hence, she was eager to treat Ye Qiu to a meal.

"It was no trouble at all. Don't worry about it." Ye Qiu said with a smile.

These words from Ye Qiu made Song Sisi dissatisfied, "Are you too bothered to let me treat you to a meal? Do you just not want to see me?"

"What are you talking about? Why would I be bothered by you?" Ye Qiu was a bit confused. Why was this woman's thinking so complicated? His polite words turned into disdain in her view? This made Ye Qiu quite speechless.

"If you're not bothered by me, then come over for dinner."

Song Sisi's tone was a bit forceful, and it seemed unreasonable, but Ye Qiu was left with no choice.

"Alright, alright."

Unable to win against Song Sisi, Ye Qiu had to agree to her request.

Song Sisi lived in a high-end apartment complex in the east of the city. While not villas, the houses there were upscale apartments, indicating that Song Sisi's family's financial situation was quite good.

Song Sisi didn't live with her parents but stayed there alone.

When Ye Qiu arrived at the apartment, Song Sisi was already waiting at the door in her home clothes.

"You're here."

Seeing Ye Qiu's arrival, the anxious look on Song Sisi's face finally relaxed.

"Are you planning to cook yourself?"

"Of course." Seeing the doubt on Ye Qiu's face, Song Sisi immediately became dissatisfied:

"I once participated in a culinary contest and even won the championship. Others don't have the honor of tasting my cooking!"

Song Sisi's words surprised Ye Qiu. Women from families like hers usually wouldn't cook, yet Song Sisi not only cooked but even won a culinary contest. It seemed her cooking skills were indeed impressive.

"Then I'm really in for a treat." Ye Qiu said with a smile.

"Of course!"

Song Sisi was quite pleased with Ye Qiu's response and quickly ushered him inside.

Song Sisi's apartment had three floors, the first being the living room and kitchen. While the exterior was quite standard, the interior revealed the owner's taste and preference.

Pink wallpaper, furniture, and decorations all exuded a pinkish ambiance, indicating that a little woman still resided in Song Sisi's heart.

Perhaps noticing the surprise on Ye Qiu's face, Song Sisi's cheeks flushed slightly as she quickly said, "The interior decoration was done by my bestie. She likes this style."

"I read online that when someone says it's a friend or bestie, it's usually themselves."

"Um..."

Song Sisi was at a loss for words, and her embarrassed face deepened in color.

Seeing her like this, Ye Qiu knew he guessed right.

"I'm going to cook!"

Having said that, Song Sisi hurriedly dashed to the kitchen as if escaping.

"I didn't expect Song Sisi to have such an adorable side." Ye Qiu shook his head and started wandering around.

The overall layout of the apartment felt pink but still comfortable. Gradually, Ye Qiu began to like this kind of interior design style.

Ye Qiu instinctively walked into the kitchen and, watching Song Sisi busy at work, casually said, "Your house's decoration is really quite unique."

"Of course, I majored in interior design at university, so for a place where I live every day, I naturally put my heart and soul into the layout..." Song Sisi abruptly stopped halfway through her words.

She remembered that she previously said the design was done by her bestie, yet she accidentally confessed.

"Haha!"

Ye Qiu couldn't help but laugh at Song Sisi's embarrassed look.

"What's so funny!" Song Sisi said, a bit annoyed, pushing Ye Qiu out of the kitchen.

Originally, Ye Qiu wanted to help, but he was immediately rejected by Song Sisi.

According to her, "If you want to steal the culinary skills of this culinary contest champion, no chance!"

Ye Qiu felt quite helpless about this.

But this was also Song Sisi's sentiment, so Ye Qiu didn't refuse and sat comfortably in the living room as a bystander.

Soon after, waves of fragrance began to waft out of the kitchen. Although Song Sisi had tightly closed the kitchen door, the tempting aroma could not be contained.

"The champion of the culinary contest really lives up to the name!"

Without having tasted the dinner cooked by Song Sisi, Ye Qiu already knew he was in for a great meal tonight.

About half an hour passed.

The kitchen door finally opened, and Song Sisi wheeled out a small serving cart, her face adorned with a smile filled with satisfaction and anticipation.

When the dishes were served, Ye Qiu found that the dishes Song Sisi made were quite common, similar to those found in family meals, yet each dish had a unique twist. For instance, in the spare ribs soup, the carrots were carved into flowers, adding beauty without losing nutritional value.

Coca-cola chicken wings, caramelized apples, braised carp...

Each dish in Song Sisi's hands had a different name, names that were not only fitting but also meaningful, like the carp leaping over the dragon gate and others.

"Try it, not everyone has the chance to taste my signature dishes!"
