C87 Enemy and Friend

Because we were in the suburbs, not as bustling as in the city center, I searched for a long time with Ojwin and Zhao Yuhao before finally seeing a place with a sign that said "Farmer's Luck" on the front door. The three of us were starving, so we parked our bicycles in front of the door and walked in.

There weren't many people in the store. I pulled on Ou Jia Rui's arm. "Could it be that it's because it's not tasty here? Why don't we go around and see if there's any other restaurant?"

Ou Jia Rui smiled. "This is a tourist area. The season is light. There is no one in the entire area."

"So it's like that." Seeing me foolishly standing at the side, Zhao Yuhao, who had been silently following behind the two of us, pursed his lips in an attempt to conceal his smile.

The boss, who rarely saw any visitors this season, was especially enthusiastic about the three of us. "Please come in, the three of you. I'll arrange a comfortable house for you." Only then did we realize that the dining room was made up of many rooms in a courtyard. The front desk owner took us to a room where we could see the lake.

Zhao Yuhao said, "Boss, where's your menu? We want to order some dishes."

"Sir, Madam, we are having fun at home, all the ingredients are grown in our own home, in the forest or in the fish pond, it is guaranteed that they will be pure and natural, but we do not provide processing services here, we have prepared all the fresh ingredients for you in the kitchen, what customers come here to enjoy is the kitchen." The boss explained.

After listening, Ou Jia Rui took out his phone to see if there were any other restaurants nearby. I pulled one of his sleeves. "No need. Let's stay here. I know how to cook."

"You are already very tired after riding all morning. How about we rest here for a while, I'll contact a delivery guy and we can pay the full bill to the boss?"

"It's fine, I'm not tired." Maybe it was because of the recent workout, but from the bottom of my heart, I didn't feel very tired.

Zhao Yuhao also stepped forward to stop Ou Jia Rui. "I also know how to cook. I can help."

"Then I can help you wash the vegetables or something."

A few days ago, I had been trembling in fear because I had actually asked Ou Jia Rui to help me wash the dishes. I hadn't thought that even more horrifying thing was that the young master of the Wealthy Class, Zhao Yuhao, who had thought that his fingers wouldn't be touched by the Yang Spring Water at first glance, actually knew how to cook.

There were not only fresh vegetables in the kitchen, but also fruits, cream, and an oven, which immediately ignited my cooking passion.

I thought back to the steps I had written on the recipe I'd read at home, how I'd baked the noodles with eggs and milk and put them in the oven, and finally the cream, the strawberries, the cartons, the mangoes, and so on, and it had taken me an hour to make a simple, fruit-naked cake.

At the same time, Zhao Yuhao was already in the kitchen, preparing to display his skills. I told Ou Jia Rui, who was standing next to me, "I don't have anything I need your help with. Quickly go over there and help Zhao Yuhao, see if he needs your help in washing the vegetables or something."

Ou Jia Rui was like a child: "He didn't say he could do it himself. Let's go, I'll take you to rest for a while." She was about to lead me into the farmhouse lounge to rest.

I smiled as I pushed him into the kitchen. "Aiya, quickly go. It's already very embarrassing for the two of us to let Zhao Yuhao cook alone. Hurry and help him." Hearing me classify Zhao Yuhao as someone other than me and Ou Jia Rui, Ou Jia Rui instantly entered the kitchen in a very happy mood.

I found a few delicate dishes, cut out three pieces of cake and put them on the table for dessert. I sent the rest to the front desk to share with the boss.

When I returned, the dishes that Zhao Yuhao had made were already on the table. Originally, I thought that even if Zhao Yuhao knew how to cook, he would only know some simple dishes.

Zhao Yuhao still hadn't taken off his apron, admiring my surprised expression with satisfaction. He stood by the table with his hands behind his back like a chef: "Squirrel cinnamon, boiled meat, stewed beef tenderloin, spicy potato shredded with shredded potatoes, and seafood congee. I wonder if Miss Zhou is satisfied?"

I smiled as I sat down and took a sip. I knew that his culinary skills were definitely above mine. "Un, not bad. Quickly, eat." Ou Jia Rui consciously took the initiative to serve the food.

After carrying the food, Ou Jia Rui also tasted the food and coldly spat out two words: "I feel that it's very ordinary. It's not even as delicious as our Yao Yao." I nudged O'Jia Rui on the arm and glanced at him.

Zhao Yuhao similarly replied to Ou Jia Rui: "It's better than nothing."

I looked at the two men, who were clearly in the shopping mall, bickering like children. I could not figure out the relationship between the two of them, so I asked without any hesitation, "Did you two know each other before? I think you two are pretty familiar."

"Not now." The two men simultaneously picked up chopsticks and placed them into my bowl. I wasn't surprised that Ou Jia Rui knew what I liked, but I didn't expect that Zhao Yuhao, who had only eaten together with me once, would actually remember what I liked to eat.

I couldn't help but laugh when I heard them speak in unison, but I still looked at them with a puzzled expression. O'Jia Rui couldn't bear to see me continue to wonder, so she took the other empty bowl from me, scooped up a bowl of soup, and told me, "We were classmates when we were in university."

"Yuhao, did you study in Italy before?" I couldn't help but be envious. After our last honeymoon in Europe, I felt that my favorite country was still Italy. Perhaps it was because that country was full of romantic enthusiasm, or perhaps it was just because that was the place where O'Jia Rui had lived for a long time.

"That's not true. Ou Jia Rui's undergraduate course was at B University. He only left the country when he was a graduate student." Zhao Yuhao added.

"Why haven't I heard you talk about it before?" I asked.

He took a sip of water without batting an eyelid, "I'm afraid that you will feel pressured after knowing that I'm so outstanding."

I rolled my eyes in disbelief, thinking that for someone like O'Jia Rui, no matter where he wanted to go, it would only be a simple matter of a greeting from his family. Later on, I realized that neither the B nor the other students in Italy had been admitted by O Jia Rui on their own merits.

"Then you two have been friends for many years." I tried to ease the tension that had somehow grown between them.

Zhao Yuhao didn't say anything, but Ou Jia Rui changed the topic. "Actually, if you put it this way, I can be considered your senior brother. It's just that we're a bit further away from the age."

With Ou Jia Rui and Zhao Yuhao's tit for tat, the meal was relatively light and pleasant.

The three of us chose two rooms for a brief rest, and after the worst afternoon of the sun, we set out again on bicycles.

The exhaustion that was accumulated in my body started to slowly ferment. I felt that my legs were a little sore, even though I didn't directly explain it to them, the speed at which I was riding the bicycle had still slowed down.

Ou Jia Rui and Zhao Yuhao, who had the same abundant physical strength as before, slowed down to wait for me when they saw this, "Do you want me to call Xuan Zi to pick you up?"

Just as I was about to wave my hand, Zhao Yuhao directly said, "No need, she can do it. Right now is the best time to improve her physical strength. Come, junior sister, let's go with senior brother. It doesn't matter if we're slow."

And so, even with my legs sore, I insisted on riding with the two of them back to B University.

It wasn't until we arrived at the school gate that the three of us handed the bicycle over to Xuan Zi, who had already been informed by Ou Jia Rui by phone. The three of us slowly walked into the school.

Not long after he entered the school gates, he saw a dashing young man dressed in fashionable clothing. My first thought was that it was one of Ou Jia Rui's peach blossoms. Just as I turned my head to ask him, Ou Jia Rui spoke first: "Don't look at me, it's been many years since I've been to B University. It can't be because of me."

After saying that, he looked at Zhao Yuhao with a schadenfreude expression. He somewhat embarrassedly touched his nose and said, "He seems to be a senior student of the Arts Design Department who has been bothering me for a long time, but he is indeed an outstanding designer. He recently graduated and submitted his resume.

It was another person who would visit his home even if he didn't provoke this person.

"What about her design?" I was suddenly curious. I even found a trace of her in this girl.

"I took a look and thought it wasn't too bad, but it's a pity. If she didn't have those kinds of thoughts about me, she might be able to enter my company's design department." Zhao Yuhao said with a deadpan expression.

"Ah, you men." I teased Zhao Yuhao. "Isn't that a little too heartless?"

I didn't expect to see the girl's design work so soon.

"But then again, what I've been thinking about recently is that whether it's the buildings or some decorations, this school has a design. If I have time, can I go to the design department to study?" Back on campus, my curiosity was at its peak.

"I'm afraid that won't do, because design classes are usually taught and drawn at the same time. If you don't have a foundation in the arts, it would be difficult for you to learn it." Zhao Yuhao kindly reminded me.

"I have a background. My undergraduate study is advertising, so my computer painting and hand-drawing are all not bad." Although I'm not from a famous school like them, I still have confidence in my own strength.

"Then when the summer vacation is over, I'll help you apply for a minor art design course, if you can help." It was a good thing I wanted to learn more.

"Alright, then I'll practice art again during the summer vacation. It's been a long time since I last touched it." I was looking forward to the coming semester.
