Chapter 28: Men Are Not Bad, Women Just Don't Love Them

  Four people in the kitchen, each doing their own thing, washing, chopping, stir-frying, it's quite lively. Although Han Yan and Xu Min occasionally cook at home, they have never had several men and women cooking together before, it can be said that they are having a lot of fun.

  Ye Nan put the pot on good oil, watching as the oil started to boil up, and hastily shouted for Xu Min to bring over the dog meat.

  Xu Min was about to pour the meat into the pot when Ye Nan hastily stopped her, taking it from her and saying: "Let me do it, later the oil will splatter out and you'll burn your hand..." Xu Min's cheeks flushed red, she smiled slightly but didn't say anything, retreating to the side to help Han Yan wash vegetables.

  Fang Wei was chopping a small cucumber quickly with a small knife on the side, cutting it into thin slices, very evenly. It seems that he is indeed a skilled person with a knife. Soon, Ye Nan's dog meat was ready, and the ingredients in the soup were scooped out, ready to be served.

  Fang Wei also only had the last spicy stir-fry left, Ye Nan beckoned to the two beauties to move the bowls and chopsticks out and arrange them, putting the electric hot pot in the middle.

  Pour the dog meat in, a fragrance bursts forth. Han Yan, smelling the aroma, couldn't wait any longer and loudly urged Fang Wei in the kitchen: "Fang Wei, you're not coming out yet? We'll eat first then!"

  Inside, Fang Wei's voice came out slowly and calmly: "Yanzi, you just shout, I still have soup in the kitchen, I don't believe you can finish that dog meat."

  "What? This dog meat still needs soup?" Han Yan was somewhat surprised.

  Ye Nan nodded and smiled: "That's right, otherwise you'd think it's dry pot dog meat? This one doesn't add soup is a bit salty, with the soup together, that's my signature dog meat soup pot."

  Han Yan couldn't wait any longer, so she ran to the kitchen and brought out the soup. After Ye Nan took it and poured it into the pot, Fang Wei also brought out the last dish.

  Just as they were about to start eating, Ye Nan picked up half a dozen beers and asked with a smile: "Will the two beauties also have some beer?" "No drinking." Xu Min replied succinctly.

  Ye Nan touched his forehead, turned his head and asked Han Yan: "Han Yan, are you okay?" Han Yan was busy dealing with the dog meat in her mouth at this time, she didn't have time to respond to Ye Nan's words, hearing Ye Nan's words, she shook her head.

  No choice, Ye Nan had to run to the refrigerator again and took out two cans of Wanglaoji. He placed them next to the beauties who were busy fighting with the dog meat, and he quickly scooped a few pieces of meat into his bowl as well.

  This time, less than three catties of meat were taken down, and there were four people eating it. These few people seemed to be able to eat a lot, if they didn't take action, they might not have their own share left.

  He finally swallowed the meat in his mouth and downed half a cup of beer, before he had time to speak. He glanced sideways at the two beauties who were busy eating with their hands and mouths, and smiled: "How is it? I said Ye Nan's dog meat is delicious, look at you guys... drooling..."

  Hearing this, Han Yan stopped putting down her chopsticks and threw a white eye at him: "Look at yourself, you're no better, wipe the oil off your mouth before saying that..."

  Only Xumin was beside him, finishing the bowl and quickly taking a spoon to fill his own small bowl with another bowl of soup, adding a few pieces of meat, eating while watching the two argue, smiling without saying a word. However, Ye Nan could see the meaning in that smile: "You guys slowly quarrel, I'll slowly eat..."

  At last, after an hour, everyone patted their bulging bellies, looked at the empty pot, and let out a satisfied sigh. Han Yan was very pleased with herself as she downed the last mouthful of drink, glanced at her watch, and said to Fang Wei, "It's getting late, you can send us back now."

  Fang Wei looked at Ye Nan and smiled: "You guys rarely come out for a trip, let's play some more, why go back so early!"

  "Alright, let's play a bit more... but we have to go back before 10 o'clock, there are classes tomorrow afternoon and we can't be absent."

  Fang Wei secretly gave Ye Nan a wink, and smiled: "Nan Zi, you take Xu Min to the balcony upstairs first, I'll help Han Yan clean up here."

  Ye Nan smiled and nodded, just about to get up. Xu Min's face turned red, looked at Ye Nan and hurriedly declined: "No need, I'll stay here and help you guys clean up instead."

  "Alright then, I won't be polite. I'll trouble you and Ye Nan here." Fang Wei smiled smugly to himself, thinking: "With me around, what can't be done..."

  After that, he pulled Han Yan straight upstairs. In the dining room, Xu Min and Ye Nan were left alone, staring at each other in silence.

  Ye Nan looked at Xu Min and smiled helplessly: "You'd better go rest in the living room for a while, I'll clean up."

  Xu Minhong's face turned red, and she gently shook her head: "It's nothing, let's just stick together."

  Neither of them spoke, Ye Nan asked Xu Min how she had been lately, but seeing Xu Min's somewhat cold demeanor, he felt a little disappointed and withdrew his words. The two quietly cleaned up the table and carried a large pile of bowls into the kitchen.

  Ye Nan put the bowl in the sink and said: "You go rest for a while, I'll clean up the rest."

  Xu Min shook her head and rushed over, saying in a low voice: "It's okay, I'll wash the dishes."

  "Hey, you girls shouldn't wash dishes with your hands. If you do, the hand cream you've been applying for a few days will all be washed away." Ye Nan quickly took over again and gently pushed Xu Min to the back.

  Xu Min let out a "heh" and laughed: "I didn't think you'd be so considerate of others." The sudden laughter made Ye Nan somewhat surprised.

  He turned to see Xu Min laughing brightly, somewhat surprised, because from this afternoon till now, Xu Min had been a bit cold towards him, and only now did he see her laugh so happily.

  Yeshan also became happy and smiled: "Of course, girls are meant to be spoiled..." Xu Min heard this and rolled her eyes: "You men are just good at flattering people, but actually there aren't many good ones among you."

  "There are, after all, only a few good men like that, can't just generalize and kill them all. I'm absolutely one of the good ones." Ye Nan chuckled as he poured hot water into the sink to wash dishes.

  "Hmph... You're still saying it's not true? Look at your mouth, I don't know how many girls you've deceived." Xu Minjiao hummed.

  "No way, I've always been honest. Do you think I look like the kind of person who would cheat on a girl? It's always the girls who cheat on me... sigh..." Ye Nan sighed exaggeratedly from the side.

  Xu Min looked at Ye Nan's pretentious appearance and thought of that night, lightly laughing: "Actually, I'm afraid you're not a good person either, maybe just more timid!"

  Ye Nan was speechless and understood the meaning of Xu Min's words. He thought to himself, "I didn't do anything to you, yet you say I'm timid... It seems that being a good person doesn't pay off!"

  Looking at Xu Min's charming and coquettish appearance, his heart surged with excitement. He turned around, and with a swoop, he tightly embraced Xu Min in his arms: "Alright, alright, since you said that, I'll make up for that night then!"

  As soon as Ye Nan hugged her, Xu Min's face turned red with shame. She didn't know Ye Nan would be so bold and hastily used her hand to push against Ye Nan's chest, scolding: "What are you doing... Don't get any ideas!"

  "You said I'm too timid, didn't you? Well, watch closely...". Holding Xu Min tightly, Ye Nan also let go, whispering softly in her ear.

  Listening to Ye Nan's tempting words, Xu Min's face turned red and she dared not make another move, softly scolding: "You men are all no good!"

  Ye Nan said in a low voice with a smile: "Really? I think I'm fine... Don't you think so..."

  "Cut... what an egoist!"

  The two of them gradually stopped talking, and Xu Min didn't show too much resistance either. The two quietly hugged each other, not knowing how long they had been like that...

  Just then, a loud and clear laughter came from behind: "If you continue like this, my house will be flooded..."

  Xu Min heard this and her face suddenly turned red, like a startled little rabbit, she quickly pushed Ye Nan away and jumped to the side.

  Ye Nan only then discovered that the water in the sink had already overflowed and spilled all over the floor.

  Hurry up and turn off the water, only to find Fang Weihe and Yan two people with a playful smile on their faces, who knows how long they have been watching from behind.

  His old face turned red as he scolded: "You guys are really something, why didn't you say so earlier..."

  Ying De Fang burst out laughing again: "Aren't we afraid of disturbing you? For your sake, wasting some water is nothing. If it weren't almost 10 o'clock, I wouldn't have bothered calling you."

  Xu Min's face turned bright red, she pulled Han Yan and stomped her foot, coquettishly shouting: "Han Yan, you're really something, laughing at me..."

  Han Yan smiled and looked at Xu Min with a flirtatious face, teasingly saying: "Who told you to be so careless about the occasion? Hmph... You still have the nerve to say that! Alright alright, I'm really leaving now, or else I'll be late."

  Xu Min secretly turned his head and glanced at Ye Nan, saying in a low voice: "Then let's go..."

  Fang Wei saw her like this and couldn't help but smile secretly: "Alright, alright, Xu Min, don't be so reluctant to part, there will be plenty of opportunities to meet again in the future."

  "South, you just clean up the kitchen at home, I'll send them back first."

  "Alright, be careful on your way!" Ye Nan looked at Xu Min and nodded with a smile.

  After they left, Ye Nan was still standing in the kitchen with a silly smile on his face, dazed for a while before coming back to himself, humming a tune as he washed the bowls and chopsticks in the sink: "Wash brush brush, hee hee... I wash brush brush!"
