Dinner time came soon, but after tasting the cooking skills of Hao Xu and Xiwen, Bai Xuqi suddenly felt that the dishes prepared by these chefs were simply tasteless.

When Xiwen saw Bai Xuqi eating absent-mindedly, he knew that she was still savoring the taste of the fried eggs.

This only made her feel even sadder.

Just imagine, you can't give your young lady the thing she likes the most. How uncomfortable that is!

Xiwen focused his attention on Haoxu again, with mixed feelings in his eyes.

She knew that she had fallen into Haoxu's trap, but there was nothing she could do.

Moreover, Hao Xu ostensibly gave himself the victory in that duel, so logically speaking, he still owed him a favor.

This made Xiwen, who originally looked down upon Haoxu and hoped that he could leave here as soon as possible, extremely uncomfortable.

Moreover, she was also unwilling to give in - what was the taste of that fried egg with chopped green onion? Can the young lady be completely immersed in it after just one bite, unable to extricate herself?

"hateful……"

Haoxu Tianqiong had already noticed that Xiwen was peeking at him, so he simply asked Xiwen if he wanted to come over and eat together.

Xiwen was startled by his sudden conversation. She quickly calmed down and replied that as a maid, she could not share the same table with the master and guests, otherwise she would be overstepping her bounds.

But Bai Xuqi didn't think so. She also invited Xiwen to join them for dinner. Xiwen could not refuse the young lady's request and had to obey.

"Sister Xiwen, can you do it again tomorrow?"

"Huh? Miss, is that dish so delicious? It can make you never forget it..."

"Hey, actually, to be honest, I want to eat it right now, but I don't want to trouble you... It's really delicious. Maybe you don't know it, but for me, it is definitely something I will never forget in my life.

It tastes good..."

As expected, Xiwen couldn't resist the lady's soft and coquettish tone. She bit her lip and agreed.

But if she does it tomorrow, it means that the only time left for her to study is tonight, and the teacher she can ask for advice is sitting next to her.

The guy who is eating soup gracefully!

Seeing that he had succeeded in pretending, Yu Minghan couldn't help but said: "So you are not ineffective after all?"

Hao Xu sipped the soup in his mouth and couldn't help but smile evilly: "That's natural. When it comes to cooking, I really haven't failed anyone!"

This young man was so high-spirited that even Yu Minghan couldn't help but exclaim: "A man who can cook is really scary!"

"Oh, that's natural. If I don't call the chef the king, who would dare to call him the emperor? If I don't take the name of the God of Cooking, who would dare to covet it?"

"Okay! Then I will make you Xuantian Chef Emperor, in charge of the three realms, and the nine states. Countless chef monks in the world will respect you! And the name of the eternal chef master must be you, I said so!

Jesus can’t stop me!”

"Pfft... cough cough..." Hao Xu was drinking soup and almost choked to death at Yu Minghan's words, "Xuan Tian is not willing to be the Chef Emperor, but the Eternal Chef Master can be considered."

While he was savoring the soup in his mouth, he couldn't help but sigh; this taste is so right!

When the dinner was over and Hao Xu was about to leave, Xiwen no longer stopped him in the face of Bai Xu Qi's reluctant performance.

When Hao Xu saw Xi Wen behind Bai Xu Qi, he bit his lips tightly and couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth slightly.

"Eh? Aren't you going to come and persuade me to stay?" He thought that Xiwen would say something to persuade him to stay. Otherwise, if he really left, who would teach her how to cook that dish?

Oh, what a pity. If Miss Bai, who was full of expectations, found that the omelette didn't taste the same the next day, would she be disappointed?

Xiwen, on his side, is also trying his best to find a way to make him stay without damaging his own image.

The best way is indeed for the young lady to ask him to stay, and then the young lady comes to ask him again, and then he agrees. It would be better.

But Bai Xuqi had already acquiesced in her heart that Xiwen would never agree to stay with Haoxu overnight, so even though she was reluctant to let him go, she still didn't intend to force him to stay.

At this moment, there was a sudden thunder in the sky, and it suddenly started pouring rain outside.

Whenever there is such a critical occasion, God will always take action promptly and provide assistance to the people on the ground. People have to wonder, is God watching all this?

But, who is the God of this world?

Bai Xuqi and Xiwen said in unison almost at the same time: "It's raining so heavily outside, it seems like we should stay here tonight!"

Hao Xu was amused by the anxious expressions of the two of them and wanted to laugh, but in fact, he did laugh.

Both Bai Xuqi and Xiwen realized that they had said the same thing to each other at the same time before, almost as if they were rushing to say it, which made them a little embarrassed for a moment.

"What, Sister Xiwen, you were so cold before, but it turns out you don't actually want him to leave."

"Uh, Miss, you misunderstood. I've actually been... I was just worried that Miss's friend would get caught in the rain and catch a cold... and the weather is so bad, what should I do if an angel appears? So let's let him

It’s better for him to stay here for the time being. That’s what I think.”

"I see, that's it. I thought you, Sister Xiwen..."

"No, no! Don't worry, Miss. I, I will never have any bad thoughts towards Miss's friends!"

"Sister Xiwen, what are you talking about? The person I trust the most is you. And even if you really do... it doesn't matter... we..."

"No more! How could I have such childish thoughts that only children have?"

"Ah, that, that's fine..."

"Ah! Hug, I'm sorry, Miss, how could I yell at Miss? It's really my dereliction of duty!"

"No, no, hey, sister Xiwen, you look so anxious, you're actually very cute."

"Miss...Oh, you are really..."

As expected, Xiwen couldn't resist the smiling face of his own lady. Seeing Bai Xuqi's smiling face, Xiwen felt that his heart melted. For such a simple and lovely young lady, Xiwen would never allow any external filth to contaminate her, so

When faced with strange men who try to approach the lady, she will be 200% vigilant to guard against them.

Hao Xu is no exception. Even if he allows him to stay here, he will never allow him to taint the lady.

"Ah!" Bai Xuqi suddenly screamed, "Speaking of which, I haven't asked your name for so long..."

Having said this, Haoxu also remembered that they all addressed themselves as "this person" and "you", such vague pronouns, and Haoxu had never told them his name.

Hao Xu asked Yu Minghan: "What should I do? Should I say your name?"

Yu Minghan spread his hands: "What do you think? Do you think you can tell me the name of the wanted criminal posted on the wanted notice outside?"

"Then, you can't say my name, right?"

"It doesn't matter. Or if you want to make up a name, it doesn't matter. It doesn't matter."

Hao Xu thought for a while and told Bai Xu Qi: "My name is... Haoxu Tianqiong, please take good care of me."

"Haoxu Tianqiong..." When Bai Xuxi heard the name, she couldn't help but tilt her head in confusion, "It sounds like a name that would appear in a novel. As a real person's name, it feels a bit strange."

"Really?" Haoxu nodded, "Indeed, because the original goal of this name is to make it more dreamy."

Thanks to the heavy rain, Haoxu was able to stay the night justifiably. Bai Xuxi seemed very happy and couldn't help but talk a lot to Haoxu. Haoxu once again marveled at why women have so much to say.

?

Accompanied by Xiwen, the two of them talked until late at night. Xiwen coughed lightly and signaled to the young lady that it was already getting late and they would take a break by then.

After finally coaxing Bai Xuqi to sleep, Hao Xu planned to go back to the room arranged for him to rest. After all, it had been a tiring day, and Hao Xu couldn't help but feel sleepy.

"Oops?" But it was obvious that there was one person who didn't want him to go to bed. Facing Xiwen who was following him silently, Haoxu asked knowingly: "Miss Xiwen, it's already late at night, and Miss Bai has already gone.

It’s time to rest, you should also take a rest.”

"Well...yes, yes..." Xiwen has always been a person with a strong personality. Otherwise, how could she serve as the head maid of the Bai family and lead the hundreds of servants of the Bai family. But at this time, she actually showed

Anyone who sees that coquettish look will feel a contrast of cuteness.

"Eh?" Hao Xu saw that she seemed to have something to say and followed him all the way to the door of his room. He couldn't help but said: "Could it be that Miss Xiwen is still dissatisfied because of the previous competition, so she wants to

Are you going to kill me in the middle of the night?"

"No, no, no, what are you thinking! Although I was really dissatisfied with the previous competition, this is the first time I have seen the lady's intoxicated expression, so... just from the point of satisfying the lady

, you have indeed won, and I am convinced."

"Hey~ It's nothing, but I'll give you the credit. Ah! Could it be that you fell in love with me because of this?"

"What are you thinking about? Ahem, Mr. Haoxu Tianqiong, please stop joking in moderation."

"Oh? Otherwise, what is the purpose of following me to the door of my room in the middle of the night?"

Although Xiwen felt embarrassed, she still had to say it. She put her hands behind her back, pinched the hem of the maid uniform hard, gritted her teeth and said the words: "Mr. Haoxu Tianqiong, you also heard it, Miss her

Indeed, I was conquered by the dish you cooked, so when I saw the lady begging me with that expression and tone, I... you may not be able to understand what I feel in my heart, but, but

, I don’t want to live up to the lady’s expectations. The lady hopes that I can do it again for her. No matter what, I will definitely satisfy the lady’s wish, so...so..."

Hao Xu showed an expression of sudden realization at this time and said deliberately: "Ah! So that's it. Does Miss Xiwen hope that I can teach you how to make that dish?"

Xiwen bit her lip tightly, and after some mental struggle, she managed to squeeze out a few words from her mouth:

"Exactly."

"Ah..." Haoxu looked embarrassed when facing Xiwen's request, "Oh, to be honest, that dish is actually the secret recipe passed down from my family's ancestors - the secret recipe recorded in "Shiweijue".

The secret genealogy of Taoism has been handed down from my ancestors to my generation for ninety-nine and eighty-one generations. This "Shiweijue" is passed down from a single line in my family, and is not passed down from daughter to daughter...it is passed down from male to female, and

It must not be spread to outsiders. Miss Xiwen, your wish to get this recipe from me is tantamount to asking me to leak the secrets of my ancestral secrets to outsiders... If this matter is known to the elders of my family, I will
