Urban Life: I Just Want To Work Hard!

Chapter 118: She, Xu Shiwen, is jealous!

"No exaggeration, absolutely no exaggeration!"

Although Xu Shiwen is not proficient in cooking as a high-status woman, she has spent several years working and has been in the kitchen a few times.

She felt that Li Mubai had changed completely since he entered the kitchen.

She inexplicably recalled Li Mubai's figure on the stage.

Li Mubai turned around and smiled at Xu Shiwen, feeling a sense of joy in his heart as well.

God-level cooking, Li Mubai felt that he was not just cooking anymore. Just like with god-level composition and god-level singing, he couldn't help but immerse his whole body and mind in it.

There is no food god in the world, but as long as you put your heart into it, anyone can be a food god.

Li Mubai had a deep memory of this line from a movie in his previous life, but he didn't understand it at that time. Now he understands.

Even ordinary cooking can be considered a form of creation, an art.

In every profession, there is a way to excel. Even as a chef, there are deep secrets involved.

Xu Shiwen sat cross-legged in front of the coffee table in the living room, unknowingly staring at Li Mubai's busy figure with her beautiful eyes.

Focused and dedicated.

It is said that serious women are the most charming, but men are also very handsome when they are serious about their work!

Especially Li Mubai's skilled movements, the confidence that radiated from within, Xu Shiwen was completely captivated.

Not long after.

Several dishes were cooked one after another, and the rice automatically switched to the warm setting.

Xu Shiwen saw Li Mubai holding three plates with both hands and quickly stood up to help carry the bowls.

After two bowls of rice and three small dishes were served, Li Mubai sat opposite Xu Shiwen.

"Really! I'm not exaggerating at all!"

Xu Shiwen emphasized again, a hint of unknown determination flashed in her eyes.

A guy who is good at writing and singing, good-looking, not greedy for money, and keeps himself clean, and now he can cook well too!

Oh my god!

If it weren't for Li Mubai sitting in front of her, Xu Shiwen wouldn't believe that such a good man exists.

Why didn't she discover this good man, Li Mubai, earlier?

If it had been three or four years earlier, she wouldn't have known about Li Mubai from Xingyu.

Now it's her turn to compete with the two sisters, Yun Wuyue and Yun Lianxing? He has been hers for a long time, okay?

This thought took root in Xu Shiwen's heart as soon as it emerged.

However... Xu Shiwen could still restrain herself.

After all, there is a saying... Don't deceive a friend's husband!

No, wait!

It seems that Li Mubai has already broken up with Yun Wuyue, and he has abandoned her!

Li Mubai smiled and handed the chopsticks to Xu Shiwen.

In his previous life, there was a saying that if you want to capture a man's heart, you must first capture his stomach.

Now it seems that this saying applies to capturing the heart of a star sister as well.

So, to capture the heart of a star sister, let's start with capturing her stomach!

"Wow, this is so delicious!"

"Mubai, how did you make this tofu?"

"Another bowl, please!"

Watching Xu Shiwen exclaim in excitement, Li Mubai smiled at her.

As a chef, the greatest happiness is to receive praise from diners for the food you personally made.

After about half an hour.

Xu Shiwen leaned back contentedly on the edge of the sofa, stretching out her slender legs, looking like she was at the peak of her life.

Li Mubai also sat cross-legged on the fluffy carpet.

Xu Shiwen really doesn't like wearing socks and shoes, and the coffee table is placed on the floor.

"Mubai... with you around, I really can't control my figure!"

Even stars need to manage their figures. Even as a powerful singer, external appearance is still important.

"Don't worry, when I cook, I use less oil and salt. Although you eat a lot, the calorie intake is not high. You don't even need to exercise deliberately. You won't get fat."

Li Mubai stood up with an empty plate and walked towards the kitchen.

"No, you put it down!" Xu Shiwen suddenly sat up from her comfortable position: "I'll wash the dishes, otherwise it's not fair."

"It's okay, Shiwen, you have taken me in without charging me rent. I haven't thanked you yet..."

"Then I'll wash with you!"

Xu Shiwen didn't notice that in the time it took to finish a meal, the sense of unfamiliarity between her and Li Mubai had shortened significantly. Even... she instinctively paid attention to the opposite sex she was sharing a room with for the first time.

The kitchen sink was large, with two faucets, so even if two people washed together, it wouldn't be crowded.

Warm water flowed from the faucet as Li Mubai skillfully squeezed some dishwashing liquid onto the two plates he was holding, and then squeezed some into the plate in Xu Shiwen's hand before she could reach for it.

Looking at Li Mubai's faint smile from the side, Xu Shiwen felt her cheeks heat up.

It's like...

The two of them...

Are experiencing married life in advance.

This novel experience, which she had never had before, made Xu Shiwen feel an unprecedented warmth.

This is the kind of life that humans should have.

Being alone is enjoyable, but being together with someone is even more fulfilling!

Xu Shiwen's thoughts wandered further... Eating, sleeping, writing songs together, going out to find inspiration for traveling... even... they had a child!

Until...

Li Mubai reached out a hand, and Xu Shiwen stared at Li Mubai's slender arm and fair skin.

"Shiwen, what's wrong?"

Li Mubai took the unwashed plate from under Xu Shiwen, quickly washed it, and pretended to ask innocently.

Just a trivial daily chore of washing dishes!

The system prompt that had just sounded in Li Mubai's mind didn't stop.

Xu Shiwen tidied up her slightly messy hair and pretended, "I just had a little inspiration for writing songs."

"Oh~"

Li Mubai smiled, "I usually read novels and ancient poetry to find inspiration!"

Xu Shiwen finished washing the last plate, reached out to take the towel handed to her by Li Mubai, and excitedly said, "Me too!"

Li Mubai's expression seemed to have found a kindred spirit, naturally took the towel that Xu Shiwen had finished wiping her hands with, and hung it on the hook, asking, "Which dynasty's poetry do you prefer?"

"The Qing Dynasty!"

"Me too!"

One after the other, they walked into the living room, Li Mubai searched for the poetry of this world in his mind, and discussed with Xu Shiwen.

Xu Shiwen led Li Mubai straight to her study, took out the poetry collection that she liked the most in this world, and handed it to Li Mubai.

The two sat together again.

Under the table, Li Mubai lightly touched Xu Shiwen's foot, and Xu Shiwen visibly slowed down. Seeing that Li Mubai's expression didn't change at all, she... quietly swallowed her saliva.

"I actually have some research in this area too, I have written a bit of five-character regulated verse and seven-character quatrain." Li Mubai smiled shyly, without any hint of arrogance from his slight achievements.

Xu Shiwen's eyes sparkled like stars in the sky.

She reached out and took a pen from the pen holder on the desk, and then took out a small notebook from the small drawer of the desk.

"Can you write something for me to see?"

Li Mubai opened the notebook, which was filled with a lot of trivial things, occasionally mixed with a few sentences worth appreciating. It was obvious that this was Xu Shiwen's inspiration notebook.

Picking up the pen, Li Mubai nodded, looking thoughtful.

Xu Shiwen stood up slowly and scratched her head, saying, "You write first, I'll... go to the bathroom."

"To the bathroom?"

Xu Shiwen smiled embarrassedly, "I'm going to fetch a basin of water to soak my feet. I really like sitting here and soaking my feet."

Li Mubai nodded.

Li Mubai watched Xu Shiwen leave, picked up the pen, and wrote a line.

Approximately three to four minutes later, Xu Shiwen returned with a basin of water, carrying a heavy kettle.

She placed the basin under the table and slowly put the jio into it, revealing a contented expression.

Two seconds later, Xu Shiwen looked at the bottom of the jio, then looked at Li Mubai, and apologized, "Mubai... would you like to soak as well?"

Li Mubai hesitated. The basin was quite large, and there would definitely be enough space for two jio. However, with two people, it was inevitable that...

"If..."

"Sure, I'll give it a try too!"

Before Xu Shiwen could finish her sentence, Li Mubai had already smiled and agreed.

The jio toes exerted a little force, pushing the basin towards the center, and Li Mubai also put his jio in.

The water temperature was around forty degrees Celsius, very comfortable!

The inevitable touch of the jio was not mentioned by Li Mubai or Xu Shiwen, as if they had an unspoken understanding.

Everything was understood without words...

Xu Shiwen's heart raced, and she reached out to grab the little notebook that had just been pulled over.

"Mountains have no peaks, rivers run dry, thunder roars in winter, rain turns to snow in summer, heaven and earth unite, yet I dare not part with you."

"Ding dong! Xu Shiwen's luck is increased by +4, Xu Shiwen's luck value +1, and the protagonist Ye Feng's luck value -1."

"Ding dong! Congratulations to Xu Shiwen for receiving a 1000 yuan reward!"

Accompanied by the system's prompt, Xu Shiwen quietly recited the poem written by Li Mubai.

The literal meaning was easy to understand; it was a poem about love.

Five types of impossible variations in the natural world...

Mountains become flat, rivers dry up, thunderstorms in winter, snowfall in summer, heaven and earth merge into one, yet I dare not part with you!

Without any embellishments, it directly expressed the deepest emotions.

Xu Shiwen recalled what Yun Wuyue had told her about Li Mubai's past.

She fully understood Li Mubai's feelings.

Especially...

The short period of time she had just experienced with Li Mubai.

Although it was very short, she couldn't help but associate it with...

Almost instinctively, Xu Shiwen felt a sourness in her heart.

Because this poem was not written for her.

In a place where Li Mubai couldn't see, Xu Shiwen bit her lower lip gently, and then... under the table, in a place both of them deliberately ignored, Xu Shiwen extended her jio forward a considerable distance.

The more their jio hearts and backs touched, the more at ease Xu Shiwen felt.

Not because of anything else.

Only because Xu Shiwen was jealous!!!
