Chapter 422 Simple and Boring

Lunch did not consist of just the three fish of course. Huang Lei had some ideas of his own too. He prepared corn pie, mashed potatoes, and other side dishes.

Naturally, those dishes were incomparable to Ye Lingchen’s dishes, so everyone focused on the three fish dishes. However, they were also considerate and would take some of Huang Lei’s dishes too.

As they ate, Zhao Liangying was boasting about her contributions to catching the three fish happily. Most of the time was spent on her summarizing her experience when catching them.

“Lingchen, I’ve decided to catch more fish in the afternoon. That pool has a lot more fish. With our ability, we can easily catch another ten fishes or so,” Zhao Liangying bragged.

“I agree! We had the chance to catch more fish this morning but we missed it. We can catch a few more and save them for the coming days,” Hu Yue’er immediately chimed in.

Ye Lingchen rolled his eyes. “Won’t you get tired of eating fish every day?”

He was not particular about food. However, it might be his delicious cooking that led to his intolerance of the food made by others. As of that moment, Ye Lingchen was just doing things that struck his fancy and enjoying life in the process.

“How can I grow tired of eating such delicious food? I’m willing to eat it for the rest of my life,” Zhao Liangying replied without hesitation.

Hu Yue’er gave it some thought, then nodded as well. “Me too.”

The next moment, they realize the implications of their answer and blushed. They quietly stole a glance at Ye Lingchen, then lowered their heads and continued eating.

Huang Lei and the other two were focused on eating. Given their financial status, they have had their fair share of good food. However, the moment they tasted Ye Lingchen’s cooking, they could not stop themselves as they realized how much they were missing out on.

As they ate, their hearts were still inundated with astonishment.

Ye Lingchen brought them too many surprises. He got famous via basketball, and was a sports superstar. Yet it was this star that was capable of doing everything well, especially when it came to cooking. With his standards, not even speaking of those with 10 years of bitter training, even those that went through 100 years of training might not reach his level.

They gave up thinking about it after failing to comprehend the situation. Perhaps he was a prodigy. A prodigy’s growth was beyond the imaginations of commoners.

Compared to the others wolfing down their meal, Ye Lingchen took his time and ate slowly. He observed their changing expressions and had a sudden realization. He finally understood why his attitude would be so carefree.

Without him realizing it, he was already standing at the peak that many people had dreamt of. He would be considered a grandmaster no matter which field he was in.

His attitude toward life was carefree thanks to his abilities.

That was probably what they meant by going back to basics. When the accomplishments of others were insignificant to oneself, there was not much in this world that could affect one’s heart.

For him, it was more about experiencing life. Of course, he was still looking to collect more popularity points while doing that.

‘Sigh, the happiness of a prodigy is so simple and boring.’

The three fish were undoubtedly lapped up down to the bones, not leaving even a drop of soup behind. If not for the hardness of the bones, they would have probably eaten that too.

After the meal, Huang Lei was slouching on the chair, patting his slightly round belly. His face was filled with satisfaction as he lamented, “God Ye, your culinary skill is too amazing. Your wife will definitely be a very happy person.”

“Oh my, Huang Lei Sensei, what wise words. That’s truly the case!” Wei Daxun’s eyes glowed brightly, clearly excited.

According to Huang Lei’s deductions, the meals made by Ye Lingchen were priceless. However, if one became his wife, then she would be able to enjoy such priceless meals every day. That was true bliss.

“Why is a man like you getting excited over being God Ye’s wife?” He Jia could not help but mock him. “Could it be that you think you still have a chance?”

“I can’t, but it doesn’t mean my children can’t!” Wei Daxun retorted. “If God Ye has a son in the future, I’ll get myself a daughter and offer her to his son!”

His words caused Wei Daxun and Huang Lei’s eyes to brighten as well. He Jia immediately urged Ye Lingchen, “God Ye, you’re not that young anymore. You should get married and have a kid!”

“That’s right. This is important. My daughter is waiting for your son!” Huang Lei chimed in.

“Speaking of which, God Ye, you better come clean. Do you have a girlfriend?”

Everyone’s eyes were burning with passion for gossip. Zhao Liangying and Hu Yue’er’s beautiful eyes were staring intently at Ye Lingchen at the same time, feeling nervous.

“Yes!”

Unexpectedly, Ye Lingchen nodded in agreement. He had no intention to hide that.

Within Y Cosmetics, Zhang Yunxi’s hands trembled. The corner of her lips unwittingly turned upward, forming a sweet, affectionate smile. The way she looked at Ye Lingchen was gentle and filled with emotions.

As a woman, Zhao Liangying and Hu Yue’er’s intentions could not escape her eyes. At the same time, she felt a sense of insecurity creep into her heart. Ye Lingchen was just like she had expected. Regardless of where he was, he would naturally attract a lot of people.

It was undeniable that Hu Yue’er and Zhao Liangying were both goddesses. Men were defenseless in front of them.

Right then, Zhang Yunxi was filled with joy. Thanks to her wits, she left a mark on Ye Lingchen before he left home. At least she would not be as passive.

At the film set of iPartment, Xiao Feifei was watching Life’s Struggles while directing the filming. Hearing Ye Lingchen’s words, her body froze up and tears appeared in the corner of her eyes.

‘He has a girlfriend? When did that happen?’

As for Hu Yue’er and Zhao Liangying who were at the scene, their eyes immediately turned dull. They sat there as though they were drained of their spirits.

“God Ye, really?” Huang Lei looked at Ye Lingchen in surprise. “Is it someone in the industry?”

The industry was naturally referring to the entertainment industry.

Ye Lingchen gave it some thought, then replied with a smile, “Is there a need to lie to you on such matters? I guess she can be considered half related to the industry.”

“Half related?” He Jia’s brows twitched. “Could it be an internet celebrity?”

“Mm.”

Ye Lingchen nodded. Although Zhang Yunxi was not in the entertainment industry, she was very popular on TikTok and had quite a big following. It was to the extent that some web series wanted to invite her over to be a guest star, so she was definitely an internet celebrity.

Hu Yue’er pushed down her inner thoughts, then exclaimed as though nothing happened, “Wow, I wonder who’s the lucky girl.”

A different emotion flashed across her eyes for a moment. ‘He’s just dating. It doesn’t mean that I’ll have no chance at all. Furthermore, the other party is an internet celebrity. That shows that Ye Lingchen doesn’t mind dating an entertainer. I’m definitely not any worse off than an internet celebrity.’

“I will not mention her name.” Ye Lingchen shrugged, then casually smiled.

Zhao Liangying was instead looking at Ye Lingchen with mixed feelings, her intentions unknown…
