Good morning!

"Big brother, breakfast is all ready!" Tang Rong said obediently as soon as she saw Ye Xiao.

Ye Xiao hurried toward the dining room, and indeed, a delicious aroma wafted through the air.

There was rice porridge, fried eggs, and meat buns—it was quite a spread!

"Wow, it smells so good!" Ye Xiao said with a smile after walking over. "Rongrong is so well-behaved. Why didn't you sleep in a little longer?"

Tang Rong replied, "I went to bed too early last night, so I woke up at six. Sister Shen said she was preparing breakfast, so I helped her out. Hehe, one of these fried eggs is my handiwork!"

Ye Xiao spotted an overcooked egg at a glance and thought to himself, this must be Rongrong's doing. But to think that twelve-year-old Rongrong actually knew how to fry an egg!

"Rongrong is so amazing," Ye Xiao praised generously.

Tang Rong's face immediately lit up with excitement. "Right? Hehe, I think so, too. Big brother, can you guess which fried egg is the one I made? If you guess correctly, that will be your reward. This is the very first egg I've ever fried in my life!"

Hearing Tang Rong's words, Ye Xiao couldn't help but smile wryly to himself, thinking, it being her first attempt, but how would it taste?

Ye Xiao approached the dining table, pointed at the dark yellow egg, and declared, "This deep yellow egg, the color of a crown, must be Rongrong's masterpiece!"

Tang Rong looked at Ye Xiao with surprise and said, "Big brother, how did you find it right away? You must try it quickly."

Although Ye Xiao was worried about the taste, he still smiled, picked up the egg with his chopsticks with eager anticipation, and brought it close to his mouth, sniffing gently.

At this moment, Tang Rong was watching Ye Xiao with hope written all over her face; clearly, she cared a lot about the flavor of this egg, as it was her first time.

Meanwhile, Shen Qiuyu stood beside them, smiling at Ye Xiao and giving him a knowing look.

How could Ye Xiao not understand Shen Qiuyu's meaning? This was Tang Rong's very first masterpiece, and no matter if it was good or bad, Shen Qiuyu expected Ye Xiao to compliment it. Otherwise, it would be truly devastating for Tang Rong.

Ye Xiao certainly grasped this principle. So, he took a gentle bite and suddenly felt as though he had a mouthful of salt, the saltiness almost making him want to spit it out!

But, looking at Tang Rong's adorable expression, Ye Xiao feigned immense enjoyment.

"Mmm, not bad, really not bad!" Ye Xiao took another bite, and quickly, half of the fried egg was gone.

Tang Rong was a clever little girl, so rather than appearing pleased to see Ye Xiao enjoying it, she frowned slightly and said, "Big brother, is it truly delicious? It's my first time making a fried egg, so there must be some flaws. Tell me where I went wrong, and I'll make sure to improve it next time, then I'll cook it for you again!"

"It really is tasty. Can't you see how much I'm enjoying it?" Ye Xiao insisted.

At that moment, Ye Xiao hadn't brushed his teeth yet, feeling grateful for not having done so, thinking it helped mask some of the saltiness.

Tang Rong looked at him and challenged, "Big brother, why do I feel like you're doing this on purpose? Let me taste it!"

Tang Rong reached for the egg on Ye Xiao's chopsticks, but he quickly stuffed the rest into his mouth. The salty flavor turned somewhat bitter, but he still acted as if he had snagged a delicious treat.

"Hehe, this was made for me, so of course I'm going to enjoy it all by myself!" Ye Xiao said playfully, chewing less than three times before forcefully swallowing it, knowing that if he continued to savor it, he might not be able to keep from spitting it out.

Tang Rong looked suspicious and turned to Shen Qiuyu, saying, "Sister Shen, why do I get the feeling that big brother is doing this on purpose?"

Shen Qiuyu broke out in a cold sweat upon hearing Tang Rong's comment. Who would dare to marry such a clever girl in the future?

Shen Qiuyu quickly replied, "It's your first try, so it won't be perfect, but to big brother, the very first fried egg made by Rongrong is the tastiest in the world. Don't tell me Rongrong is someone who wants to achieve everything in one go?"

"Not at all. I know that in life, one must be down-to-earth and take it one step at a time. That's what my mother says!" Tang Rong answered immediately.

"Right, well said!" Shen Qiuyu praised, while giving Ye Xiao a smile.

Ye Xiao chuckled wryly to himself, thinking how clever Tang Rong was, and that deceiving her so casually was not going to be easy.

As they chatted and laughed, suddenly, the door to Ye Xiao's room opened, and a sleepy Ling Shuya emerged, rubbing her eyes. She was wearing Ye Xiao's clothes, which were obviously too large for her. Originally, she had planned to go upstairs for a shower and then change into clean clothes, but when she walked out of Ye Xiao's room, she was surprised to see Shen Qiuyu, Tang Rong, and Ye Xiao all in the dining room.

Ling Shuya had thought that, as usual, Ye Xiao would be the one preparing breakfast. After all, girls tend to have a habit of sleeping in!

Ling Shuya usually didn't get up before seven, but today, in order not to let anyone know that she had spent the night in Ye Xiao's room, she decided to leave his room early and then hurried upstairs!

The whole thing was a ghostly secret, known only to Ye Xiao and Ling Shuya themselves!

But now, it was clearly beyond Ling Shuya's expectations!

Silence!

An unusual quiet!

At this moment, even Ye Xiao had forgotten the salty taste in his mouth.

Finally, it was Tang Rong who broke the silence!

"Sister Ling, isn't that Big Brother's room?" Tang Rong looked at Ling Shuya, puzzled. She had clearly seen Ye Xiao come out of that room!

But now, it was Ling Shuya who was coming out of this room.

Although Tang Rong was only twelve years old at the moment, kids nowadays are exposed to many new things, so it would be absurd to say Tang Rong couldn't guess anything!

"I..." Ling Shuya stood still, and although this was her territory, she felt as if she were standing in a thorn bush. What she wanted to do the most was to leave immediately because staying here any longer was simply too embarrassing!

Tang Rong seemed determined to get to the bottom of things, so she continued, "Sister Ling, you seem to be wearing boys' clothes?"

Collapse!

Ling Shuya really felt like she was going to collapse!

Every word from Tang Rong made Ling Shuya wish the ground would swallow her up!

Ye Xiao also noticed Ling Shuya's embarrassment, but what could he say?

Shen Qiuyu, seeing Ling Shuya emerge from Ye Xiao's room, naturally understood what they had done, but now with Ling Shuya so embarrassed by Tang Rong's questioning, she quickly said with a smile, "Rongrong, you're so silly. Didn't you just go to the bathroom? Sister Ling just went to get something from Big Brother's room. Sister Ling often wears boys' clothes; why make such a fuss?"

"But Sister Ling looks like she's just woken up!" Tang Rong said, unconvinced.

"This... um, isn't everyone just waking up? We all look like this before washing up. You're the same, looking like a lazy kitten when you got up. Shuya, go freshen up quickly, or breakfast will get cold. Oh, and call Yuyan to hurry over," Shen Qiuyu said to Ling Shuya!

Hearing Shen Qiuyu's words, Ling Shuya felt like she had received a royal pardon, nodded eagerly, and then fled to the second floor.

Ye Xiao immediately stood up too, saying, "Oh, I just remembered, I haven't washed my face yet. Um, I'll go wash up!"

Tang Rong wanted to ask Ye Xiao something, but he had already left!

"Sister Shen, I just feel it's not like you said," Tang Rong said with a puzzled expression.

Shen Qiuyu glanced at Ye Xiao, who had already entered his room, and Ling Shuya, who had gone upstairs into her room, then smiled at Tang Rong, "Little girl, don't think about these things. They're adult matters, and you'll understand when you grow up."

"Sister Shen, are you really all Big Brother's girlfriends?" Tang Rong said, "I called you sisters-in-law yesterday, but I was just joking."

Hearing Tang Rong's words, Shen Qiuyu couldn't help but smile and then said, "Little girl, don't think about it anymore, and don't tell anyone, for your Big Brother's sake!"

Hearing Shen Qiuyu's words, Tang Rong surely had all sorts of doubts in her heart, but she nodded and said, "Okay, Sister Shen, I support you!"

"Rongrong is such a good girl, let's go get the bowls and chopsticks!" Shen Qiuyu and Tang Rong went off toward the kitchen together, while Shen Qiuyu chuckled to herself, acknowledging that once she chose to be with Ye Xiao, she had to accept everything about him!

About ten minutes later, Ye Xiao and Ling Shuya came out almost simultaneously.

When they came out, the villa's door also opened, and two people entered, Zhou Yuyan and Zhou Hao!

Zhou Yuyan had asked Zhou Hao for a long time about what was really in that cloth bag, but Zhou Hao's mouth was sealed tight and wouldn't budge.

So, when Zhou Yuyan arrived, she immediately waved at Ling Shuya, who walked over, though her cheeks were a bit red!

Ling Shuya genuinely felt like she had been caught red-handed today, so she felt very awkward.

Zhou Yuyan, oblivious to these matters, saw Ling Shuya come over with blushed cheeks and immediately asked in confusion, "Shuya, what's wrong with you? Do you have a fever?"
