nHer mouth twitched.

nDamn I forgot about it!

nNow that Meng Ya thought about it, she finally realized why she was annoyed. Tian Meirong called him just as Renshu which unsettled her.

nShe laughed.

"Of course I just call him Renshu. It's just that I am mad at him a bit. When I am angry at him, I call his full name! Hmph!

"

nTian Meirong said,

"I hope the argument isn't because of me. After all, you might have gotten uncomfortable since I came to live here…

"

nShe gritted her teeth.

nIf you know then get the hell out, you duffer! What does Fu Renshu see in this woman!?

nBut Meng Ya maintained her smile amidst the burning volcano in her heart.

nTian Meirong looked at the dishes and smiled.

"I see…

"

nAs Fu Renshu stepped in, he saw the two women together, their gazes locked in some sort of a deadly competition that made him want to escape as quickly as he could.

nUgh…I want to run away…

nMeng Ya's gaze fell upon him and she beamed.

"Fu Ren- *cough* Renshu dear~

"

nFu Renshu almost puked blood. He stared at her in horror.

nRenshu dear?

n*Badump*

nHe rapidly blinked his eyes in confusion.

nAh? What was that?

nHe touched his chest and frowned.

nWhy did it feel that my heart skipped a beat? Am I having some problems?

nMeng Ya ran to his side and hooked her arm into his.

"How was work today? I hope it wasn't too stressful.

"

nShe behaved like a typical caring girlfriend. Fu Renshu stared at her in a daze and then cleared his throat. He whispered.

"What are you doing?

"

nShe said without moving her lips.

"Don't embarrass me in front of her. I am your girlfriend. If you behave otherwise, you are so dead.

"

n

"...

"

nWhy am I being threatened in my own house?

nMeng Ya smiled and dragged him towards the table.

"Sit here. Let's have dinner. Since Tian Meirong is here, I thought of preparing dinner today.

"

nFu Renshu widened his eyes.

"Y-you cooked dinner tonight?

"

n

"En!

" She stood tall with her nose turning imaginarily longer in pride.

nHe looked at her suspiciously.

"Do you even know how to cook?

"

nSuddenly, he felt a deadly pressure on his foot as she stomped hard on it with her own. She narrowed her eyes and smiled.

"Of course dear. I know how to cook food. Have. You. Forgotten?

"

nShe enounced each word through her clenched jaw.

nFu Renshu yelped in pain but somehow managed to keep a straight face. His brow twitched as he smiled.

"J-Just joking…

"

nMeng Ya looked at Tian Meirong.

"Ignore him. He likes to joke around a lot.

"

n

"Sure~

"

nShe took a seat opposite Fu Renshu.

"Let me know how her food tastes like Renshu,

" she leaned her chin on her palm as she smiled at him.

nMeng Ya harrumphed.

nWhat is she even trying to provoke here?

nFu Renshu looked at the dishes and slightly stiffened.

nMeng Ya eagerly served him the fish soup, rice and braised fish and said,

"Eat all up!

"

nHe cleared his throat. He glanced at her and looked at the glimmer and excitement in her eyes. He could clearly read the words hovering on top of her head.

nI want to know how it tastes. Is it good? Do you like it?

nFu Renshu quietly stared at her for a moment and then picked his chopsticks. He took a bite of the rice and braised fish.

nMeng Ya felt her heart drum in nervousness.

nWhy am I so anxious?

n

"How is it?

" She subconsciously fidgeted with her fingers.

nFu Renshu slightly widened his eyes as he chewed. He nodded.

"...It's delicious.

"

nMeng Ya looked at him in a stupor.

"R-really?

"

n

"En.

"

nA bright smile shone on her lips and her cheeks turned slightly red. Fu Renshu couldn't help but stare at her in a daze.

nMeng Ya turned and gave a proud look at Tian Meirong.

nTian Meirong seemed unaffected.

"You don't have to lie to keep her heart, Renshu. Just tell her the truth.

"

nMeng Ya frowned.

nWhat truth? He liked my food! You are just jealous and trying to stir trouble!

nFu Renshu narrowed his eyes as he faced her.

"There is nothing to tell.

"

nTian Meirong smiled.

"You are too kind on a girlfriend who doesn't even know that her 'boyfriend' doesn't like to eat fish.

"

nMeng Ya froze.

n

"Ah?

"

nShe looked at him in bewilderment.

nFu Renshu doesn't like fish?

nHe gritted his teeth as he glared at her.

"Stop talking nonsense!

"

n

"Nonsense? You cannot even bear the smell of a fish let alone eat it. You never liked seafood. You have never touched it since childhood.

"

nMeng Ya stiffened.

nShe looked at all her dishes.

nFu Renshu doesn't like seafood and I cooked nothing but that…

nTian Meirong faced her.

"As his girlfriend, you ought to know this. But it's okay. I think it's a misunderstanding. Oh yes. Didn't you say that you two were having an argument? Maybe you cooked this to spite him haha…

"

nHer gaze lowered.

nSpite him?

nIt was true that she cooked to show to Tian Meirong how capable she was. But somewhere in her heart, she had a tiny wish to impress Fu Renshu too. She didn't know why but she was eagerly hoping he would eat it and then hear his praise.

nShe didn't feel sad that her effort was a waste but more about how she lost to Tian Meirong on hearing how much she knew about him whereas she didn't.

n

"Ah...yes haha…

" she smacked herself on her forehead.

"O-of course I know that he doesn't like fish. You are right. I made all this just to annoy him haha…

"

nMeng Ya quickly pulled his plate away.

"But now that I am not angry anymore, I will cook something else for him.

"

nFu Renshu noticed her trembling eyelashes and fingers. He suddenly grabbed her wrist and pulled his plate back.

n

"I don't want to eat anything else. I like fish and I will eat this.

"

nMeng Ya quickly said,

"No, no. Don't force yourself.

"

nTian Meirong said,

"Renshu you-

"

nHe shot a chilly glare at her.

"It's true that I didn't like fish before but now I have started liking it ever since she became my girlfriend. Any problem with that?

"
