Chapter 54 - Shui Shui Was Traumatised By Shiyi's Terrible Cooking
Not long after Shiyi and Shui Shui arrived, Yixian called Yang Zi's line. They all heaved a sigh of relieve when Zhou Yixian did not come into Yang Zi's apartment like he normally did and instead asked her to meet him downstairs. Yang Zi went out on a date with Zhou Yixian after informing him about the trip she was going to embark on the next day. Zhou Yixian made excellent use of his time with her. He was so reluctant to let go of her when it came to the time they were supposed to part ways. He finally left after promising to call her before she leaves on the trip.
Yang Zi, Shui Shui and Shiyi chatted and played some interesting games late into the night before they finally retired for the night. Yang Zi and Shui Shui slept in her bedroom while Shiyi made do with the guestroom. The departure for the trip was scheduled at 10:00 am so Yang Zi did not have to wake up very early. When Yang Zi and Shui Shui woke up, the two ladies spent a lot of time dressing up. Shui Shui who loved selecting outfits for her best friend instantly got to work after she finished showering. When she got to Yang Zi's dressing room, she contemplated for over three minutes whether she should choose a dress or a pair of trousers and a sexy top for her. She later settled for a pair of blue fitted jeans and a sexy sleeveless top to compliment it. After Yang Zi got out of the bathroom, Shui Shui immediately sat her in front of her dressing mirror. She blow dried her hair, combed it, rubbed lotion on her body and afterwards applied makeup on her face. Shui Shui wanted her best friend to look her best, and she achieved the exact look she wanted.
"Oh, my gosh! You guys are finally out! I have been waiting for you guys forever," Shiyi who was waiting for them complained bitterly.
"What's up? Why were you waiting for us?" Shui Shui asked as she and Yang Zi walked down the stairs elegantly.
"Do you even need to ask? Of course he is waiting for us so we can join him for breakfast. The apron around his neck is evidence," Yang Zi mentioned smiling.
"What the heck? Shiyi, haven't I told you not to ever step foot into the kitchen? I have already told you to leave all the cooking to Zi Er or do you want to poison all of us to death?" Shui Shui asked, alarmed. Shui Shui who did not get over the trauma of eating Shiyi food shivered in fear when she recalled the day Shiyi cooked for three of them.
Back then Yang Zi who had first tasted the dishes pretended as if the dishes were delicious just to lure the two of them into having a bit out of it. Shui Shui who doesn't always hold back in the presence of a tasty feast followed suit only to be traumatised after tasting the dishes. Shui Shui who didn't want to ruin the fun had also beckoned Shiyi to have a taste of his tasty-looking dishes after throwing Yang Zi a piercing glare. The three of them immediately ran to the restroom all out once to vomit everything out. Since then, Yang Zi and Shui Shui made Shiyi promise them never to cook again.
"Hey Shui Shui, don't be so hard on your hubby. I bet his cooking is not that terrible like before. I am sure that Shiyi's cooking has improved. If it hasn't, don't worry we will all die together, Ok?" Yang Zi smiled teasingly as she dragged the unwilling Shui Shui to the dining table. After sitting down on their respective seat, eating the delicious-looking dishes on the table became a problem since none of them wanted to be the first person to have a bite out of it. After staring at each other for about five minutes with none of them attempting to eat the dishes, Yang Zi grabbed hold of her spoon with trembling hands.
"Guys don't worry I will be your sacrificial lamb," Yang Zi mumbled as she scooped a spoonful of soup. Shutting her eyes, she put the food in her mouths with trembling hands. Shui Shui looked at her best friend pitifully as she threw Shiyi a murderous gaze, but Shiyi who was filled with feelings of regret looked away.
"Zi Er, you don't have to force yourself to eat it if the food is not fit for humans. Shiyi will understand if you vomit it out so you don't have to worry about hurting his feelings," Shui Shui said tenderly. Yang Zi's face shone brightly a few minutes after she put the food into her mouth.
"Shui Shui, the food is delicious? Shiyi, how did you do it? Your cooking skills have improved tremendously, I am impressed," Yang Zi said, smiling brightly as she gave Shiyi a thumbs up.
"Are you sure? Zi Er, I will really tickle you to death if you trick me into eating something horrible like the last time," Shui Shui said. She slowly picked her fork with shaking hands. The last incident was still fresh in her mind, so she could not calm herself down. Yang Zi could not resist the urge to laugh when she saw how scared the fearless Qing Shui was. It took Qing Shui three minutes before she mustered up the courage to swallow the food. Her eyes shone gleamingly when she realised that Yang Zi was not lying to her.
"Wow! The food is very palatable. Shiyi, tell me the truth, how did your cooking skills improve so much. I am stunned," Shui Shui said in admiration. "Forgive my earlier words, I didn't mean it. I couldn't get over the last trauma, that is why I acted like that," Shui Shui apologised as she hit Shiyi's arm playfully.
"It's Ok, I am glad that you guys liked it," Shiyi smiled as he beckoned them to continue eating. The reason Shiyi's terrible cooking skills upgraded was because of his constant practice. He has been practicing how to cook from his personal chefs since the day he almost murdered his best friends. He was just too shy to reveal the truth to them.
"Stop watching us eat and eat too or else it will shock you to see that everything will disappear in ten minutes' time," Yang Zi said beaming as she passed Shiyi a bowl of dish he could not reach. The three ate and afterwards chatted till it was time for them to drop Yang Zi off at the company.
