I'm reborn and I'm an international student again?

Chapter 183 Lake Entrance
In Mo Village in winter, the sun shines through the thin clouds and shines on every corner of the city.

Although it is winter, due to the southern hemisphere and the geographical location of the city, there is no snowflakes falling from the sky in Mo Village. Instead, it maintains a unique coolness and tranquility.

On a wide highway, two Mercedes-Benz cars were speeding. They were like two flashes of lightning, cutting through the winter silence and rushing towards the unknown distance.

The sunlight refracted on the metal surface of the car body, forming flowing light and shadows. The elegant lines and smooth contours of the Mercedes-Benz car were particularly dazzling in the sun, like a bright spot in this winter.

The passengers in the car may be immersed in their own world, or closing their eyes to rest, or admiring the scenery along the way, enjoying the rare warm sunshine and tranquility in this winter.

The surrounding scenery changes constantly as the vehicle moves, from the bustling city to the tranquility of the countryside, to the undulating mountains in the distance.

At this time, the atmosphere in the two cars was very awkward.

The back seat of the car Dongdong and Xiaoming were riding in was empty, while Chen Xi's car was packed with passengers. This sharp contrast made Dongdong feel quite unhappy.

What bothered him even more was that his beloved future wife, Zhang Ruoxi, did not choose to sit in his car, but chose Chen Xi's crowded car.

This feeling of loss and frustration brought Dongdong's mood to the freezing point.

Chen Xi felt extremely overwhelmed at the moment, and the atmosphere in the car made him feel a little breathless.

Saori sat in the passenger seat, while Shen Xinyi, Zhang Ruoxi and Jin Nana squeezed in the back seat.

I thought there would be a lively conversation, but after a few greetings when we first got on the car, the car fell into an awkward silence.

It is said that three women make a drama, but now the four women in the car made the air seem to freeze.

Chen Xi would occasionally observe the situation in the back row through the rearview mirror, and each time he would catch the three women in the back row inadvertently looking at him.

Even Saori looked at him with a strange look from time to time, which made him feel a little uneasy.

"You guys seem so bored, let me tell you a joke." Seeing that no one was talking in the car, Chen Xi could only find a topic on his own.

"Four girls were sitting in a car and chatting. They were discussing what they wanted to do in their next life. The first girl said she wanted to be a flower and everyone would kiss her. The second girl said she wanted to play mahjong and everyone would touch her. The third girl said she wanted to be an ice cream cone and everyone would lick her. The fourth girl said she wanted to be an ambulance and everyone would get on top of her from behind and she would still scream!"

Chen Xi told a joke to make the girls laugh.

However, when he finished speaking, he found that the four women were staring at him with strange eyes, which seemed to contain doubt and scrutiny.

"Haha, do you think you are very humorous?" Zhang Ruoxi laughed twice, and then said expressionlessly.

"Um... I see that none of you are talking. Isn't it too crowded for the three of you to sit in the back?" Chen Xi quickly changed the subject.

"Very good." Shen Xinyi said lightly.

"Are you from Korea? You speak Korean really well."

"Thank you. Would you like to come closer to me? It might be crowded."

"It's fine."

Maybe Chen Xi’s joke worked, and Zhang Ruoxi and Jin Nana started chatting.

"Baby, are you tired? Take a nap." Chen Xi looked at Saori who was in a daze and couldn't help but remind her.

"I'm not sleepy." Saori shook her head. She was dressed very beautifully today.

If there weren't so many people in the car, Chen Xi really wanted to fight the opponent for three hundred rounds.

Chen Xi booked a spacious seaside villa with multiple rooms and a very advantageous geographical location.

After a long drive, they finally arrived at this peaceful seaside paradise.

The villa has a simple and elegant appearance and is fully furnished inside, providing a comfortable living environment for tourists who come here for vacation.

The shops in the Lake Entrance area are not densely populated, but are concentrated in a large shopping center, where surrounding residents and tourists usually choose to buy their daily necessities.

This layout makes shopping easy and convenient, while also adding a unique flavor of life to this quiet seaside town.

After putting their luggage away, they couldn't wait to go to the shopping mall.

Since the shops here close early, they have to buy food and daily necessities early to avoid going hungry at night. There are almost no restaurants nearby, so they have to cook dinner by themselves.

Several women were secretly competing with each other and planned to show off their cooking skills in front of the three men in the evening to demonstrate their charm and abilities.

They were particularly careful when shopping, selecting various ingredients and seasonings, and making full preparations for the cooking competition in the evening.

As soon as you enter the Lake Entrance shopping mall, you will be greeted by a strong seafood aroma. The mall has a rich variety of food, especially seafood, with a wide variety of seafood to choose from.

Fresh marine fish swam freely in transparent water tanks, their scales glittering in the sun. Huge lobsters and crabs were carefully placed in the chilled area, their shells still bearing traces of seawater.

Shellfish is also one of the specialties here. There are scallops, oysters, conchs, etc. Each one is plump and delicious, exuding an enticing aroma.

In addition, the mall also provides a variety of seafood processing services. Visitors can choose the cooking method according to their taste and enjoy the delicious seafood.

Chen Xi was standing in front of a shelf selling TT, hesitating.

"No need to buy, I brought them all here. I will serve you well tonight~" Saori said softly, pulling his arm.

"Little devil!" Chen Xi scratched her little nose. This woman was actually prepared.

"Forget it. It's too awkward to have so many people living together today." Chen Xi thought about the problem of too many people and decided to just hold it in. "It's okay. I'll keep my voice down." Saori said with a smile, squinting her eyes.

In just one sentence, he immediately became furious.

"Xinyi, I brought some chili peppers. I'll make you some spicy chicken tonight."

"Chen Xi doesn't eat spicy food."

"My mind is full of Chen Xi. He doesn't eat spicy food, but I do. There are other people too. Nana is a Korean and she also eats spicy food."

Zhang Ruoxi said with a pout.

"Speaking of which, it feels so awkward. I regret asking Chen Xi to come. Why did he bring a Korean girl? She looks very pretty and is as tall as you!" Zhang Ruoxi said in a low voice.

"What's so awkward about that? It's normal for him to come with his girlfriend. This is someone else's private matter. That Korean girl is Saori's friend, so there's nothing wrong with that. It's the two of us who feel a little redundant."

"Xinyi, I didn't expect you to be so generous. You can tolerate your future husband having three wives and four concubines."

"What are you talking about? He and I are just friends now, and Chen Xi is not that kind of person. I feel he is quite loyal. He told me before that he has a girlfriend and he has no other thoughts."

"Tsk tsk tsk ~ You're already possessed. I just said a few words to him and you start defending him like this."

Zhang Ruoxi stared at Shen Xinyi as if she were a fool, and felt that this best friend in front of her had changed a lot.

"Give me a chicken, and those chicken carcasses."

"Ok."

Chen Xi walked to the meat sales area, picked up a chicken at random, and pointed to the chicken skeleton next to it.

Here, chicken skeletons are the best bait for catching crabs, with some viscera and meat scraps remaining on them, which are usually inedible for locals.

Therefore, when shopping in a shopping mall, as long as you buy meat, you will usually get a chicken skeleton for free.

For merchants, these chicken skeletons will be discarded anyway, so giving them to customers can be considered a value-added service.

Chen Xi plans to use these free chicken skeletons to make bait for catching crabs, which is both economical and practical.

After returning to the villa, the four women couldn't wait to start their cooking show. The kitchen suddenly became lively, and the sounds of pots and pans intertwined into a cheerful symphony.

Shen Xinyi is responsible for processing the seafood. She cleans the fish and shrimps skillfully and marinates them cleverly with various spices, making the seafood exude an enticing aroma.

Zhang Ruoxi was stewing a rich chicken soup. The herbs and chicken she carefully selected slowly blended in the pot, exuding a mouth-watering aroma. She originally planned to make spicy chicken, but gave up under Shen Xinyi's sharp eyes.

Kim Nana and Saori were not idle either. One was responsible for making vegetable salad, and the other was responsible for making sushi and desserts.

Nana cuts the fresh vegetables into even-sized pieces and then pours a special sauce over them, and a salad with good color, aroma and taste is ready.

Saori made and baked the desserts skillfully, and soon the fragrant desserts came out of the oven freshly. Then she made the seafood into sushi.

Four women were busy in the kitchen, their faces full of confidence and joy, while three men were sitting in the living room staring at each other.

Chen Xi poured water on the chicken skeleton, put it into a plastic bag and sealed it. He then walked out of the room and threw it on the ground, then lit a cigarette.

"Why did you leave the chicken skeleton here?"

"Crabs like to eat smelly things. If you leave it overnight, it will definitely smell bad tomorrow, hehe."

"Fuck, you're disgusting."

Dongdong shook his head and hurried back to the house.

A few hours later, the rich dishes were served on the table. The four women looked at them confidently, as if waiting for the three men's comments.

"Come and try this chicken soup." Zhang Ruoxi spoke first and served everyone a bowl.

"Aren't you from Shancheng? Don't you like spicy food?" Dongdong said with a puzzled look on his face. There was only one spicy dish on the table today, and it was prepared by Zhang Ruoxi for him.

"It's still Xinyi... I have a stomachache today and can't eat spicy food." Before Zhang Ruoxi finished speaking, she felt someone kicked her calf and quickly changed her words.

After saying that, he glared at Shen Xinyi. Now even a fool would know that it was Shen Xinyi who gave special instructions, so everyone looked at Chen Xi in unison.

"Eat, eat." Chen Xi quickly changed the subject, picked up the soup and started drinking.

"Try this salad." Nana pointed to the refreshing vegetables on the table.

"I can't believe you are Korean. You look no different from us." Dongdong and Xiaoming met Nana for the first time, so they were naturally a little curious.

However, both of them had seen Nana's photos before, because Chen Xi had asked Xiao Ming to help the martial arts school with photo editing and advertising.

"You look so slim and beautiful, and you're actually a martial artist." Dongdong praised Nana, but immediately shut his mouth because he suddenly remembered that Zhang Ruoxi was still there.

But when he glanced at Zhang Ruoxi, he found that she was eating the food and didn't seem to care at all.

It seems that Zhang Ruoxi has no feelings for him at all. Dongdong felt cold in his heart when he thought of this.

"Thank you." Nana thanked her softly and picked up some food for Saori.
