Chapter 72 The Yang Energy is Too Weak
With Xu An joining in the kitchen to help, everyone quickly had lunch.
At the dinner table, Chen Zize looked at the dishes that had already been laid out and subconsciously reached up to get the bowls, chopsticks and cups.
Then, to his surprise, he discovered that Li Yang was even faster than him. Looking at Li Yang holding the bowl and chopsticks, Chen Zize asked in bewilderment:
"Why are you so diligent???"
Upon hearing this, Li Yang's expression turned serious.
"Brother Zize, as a member of the cabin, isn't it normal for me to be diligent?"
"But you, you're far too lazy!"
Upon hearing this, Chen Zize's expression became incredibly interesting.
When did you become part of the cabin?
Isn't this the only episode you're recording?
Almost without hesitation, Chen Zize glanced at Li Yang with suspicion.
"What did Xu An say to you?"
The viewers in the live stream couldn't help but react when they heard this.
Regarding Xu An's reputation in the small house.
[No matter what it is, suspect Xu Anqian first; the accuracy rate is as high as 90%!]
[Ninety percent? Ninety-nine percent!]
[This is hilarious! Could Li Yang have actually been fooled by Xu An and think he can replace Chen Zize?]
Li Yang clearly hadn't expected Chen Zize to pinpoint the culprit so directly, but he remained calm and nodded, saying:
"Brother Xu just gave me a few words of advice and pointed me in the right direction in life!"
He won't let you drag me into this, will he?
Although he didn't know exactly what Xu An and Li Yang had said, Chen Zize's experience of being tricked many times allowed him to quickly grasp the key point.
When Xu An came out, he saw Chen Zize staring at him fiercely and couldn't help but feel puzzled.
"Zize, what's wrong? Is the food not to your liking?"
"Wait a minute, I specifically added chili to several of your favorite dishes!"
Upon hearing this, Chen Zize, who had just picked up some food to put in his mouth, trembled and almost dropped it, just as Xu An continued.
"Just kidding..."
Chen Zize glared at Xu An, put the food back in his mouth, and the next second, his expression changed.
"That's all they put out."
Looking at Chen Zize, whose face was flushed red from the spiciness, Xu An added leisurely.
Seeing this, Zhang Lin, standing nearby, said with a sense of shared indignation, "Xiao Xu, you can't just put in as much chili as you want just because you're the only one who can cook in the hut!"
Upon hearing this, Xu An blinked.
"Uncle Zhang, can't you eat spicy food? I heard from a classmate who studies traditional Chinese medicine that people with more yang energy like to eat spicy food."
After speaking, Xu An nodded, showing a hint of agreement.
"That's true, Uncle Zhang, you're getting on in years, indeed..."
"Who said I can't eat spicy food? I've always loved spicy food, okay?"
Zhang Lin interrupted him, picked up the plate of food that Chen Zize had just picked up with a very serious expression, put it in his mouth, and said without changing his expression.
Not only him, but Li Yang was also stuffing his bowl with food.
"Speaking of which, I also quite like spicy food. Brother Xu, what you made this time is quite to my liking."
Chen Zize, whose face had just turned completely red, nodded and said in a very firm voice.
"I choked a bit just now, but I actually think the spiciness level is just right."
The comments in the live stream were also very consistent.
Come to think of it, I've always loved spicy food since I was little. Is it because I have a lot of yang energy?
That's true. I usually like to snack on chili peppers; I chew on a little bit whenever I have a spare moment.
【What's so bad about that? I usually drink spicy drinks, while my colleagues and friends all drink sweet drinks, it's just...you know what I mean!】
Don't you guys find the air a little too sweet? Is there any way to release chili peppers into the air?
Jiang Zhaoyue, who had just changed her clothes in her room, walked into the dining room and found that Zhang Lin, Chen Zize, and Li Yang were all flushed and sweating profusely, devouring a dish that looked quite spicy. She asked, somewhat puzzled:
"Don't you think it's spicy?"
All three shook their heads.
Seeing this, Jiang Zhaoyue became curious.
Is this dish only spicy in appearance?
Thinking this, Jiang Zhaoyue sat down and tentatively picked up a piece of vegetable leaf smeared with red oil. She put it in her mouth for only two seconds before her starry eyes suddenly widened as if they had exploded. Then her eyebrows furrowed into soft knots, and fine beads of sweat appeared on her fair nose.
Jiang Zhaoyue hissed as she gasped, then opened her rosy lips, her voice revealing a hint of disbelief.
"This isn't spicy???"
"Zhaoyue, your yang energy is a bit insufficient!"
"Xiao Xu said that people with strong yang energy are more able to eat spicy food."
As Zhang Lin spoke, he picked up another piece of food with his chopsticks and put it into his bowl.
Upon hearing this, Jiang Zhaoyue, who was drinking water because of the spiciness, froze.
Then, she put down her water glass and said in a somewhat unnatural voice:
"What I mean is, it's a little spicy at first, but it gets less and less spicy as you eat it, hahaha."
After speaking, Jiang Zhaoyue hesitated for a moment before reaching out with her chopsticks.
But they discovered that the food on the plate had already been eaten by Chen Zize, Zhang Lin, and Li Yang.
She secretly breathed a sigh of relief, but then suddenly realized something was wrong.
"Xu An, why haven't you eaten???"
"I don't like spicy food."
Xu An's voice was very calm.
Upon hearing this, Jiang Zhaoyue looked as if she had discovered something new, and a beautiful smile appeared on her lips.
"Then wouldn't you have insufficient yang energy???"
Upon hearing this, Xu An blinked, then looked as if he suddenly understood.
"You mean that one? I must have remembered wrong. I just texted my classmate to ask again."
He said that he needed to eat chili peppers to stimulate the growth of yang energy because he lacked yang energy.
The three people standing nearby, their faces flushed, froze in place.
Zhang Lin: ?
Li Yang: ? ?
Chen Zize: ? ? ?
The live stream chat exploded when they heard this.
【You know, I've never liked spicy food since I was a child.】
Dude, you didn't just say that, did you?
[Don't be stubborn if you lack Yang energy, buddy. I'm the one who feels like throwing up at the sight of chili peppers, okay?]
【Seriously, don't you guys feel like Xu An is just leading you around?】
Other people in the live stream: ?
Let's not mention the live stream that was silenced by a single sentence.
Xu An was chased around the restaurant by Hong Wen and his two companions. He cleverly managed to run behind Bai Ge. Bai Ge, looking at the three men in front of him, said with a helpless expression:
"Alright, you three don't need to do the dishes. Stop chasing Xiao An for now."
Only after receiving Bai Ge's promise did the three of them reluctantly spare Xu An's life.
Bai Ge turned around, looked at Xu An hiding behind him, and said with a hint of amusement in his voice:
"Can't you just shut up for once?"
Upon hearing this, Xu An protested his innocence, saying:
"They wanted to eat it themselves!"
"Wasn't it you who instigated this?" Bai Ge glared at him reproachfully.
To Bai Ge's surprise, Xu An had more than just this one cleverly prepared dish. After returning to the dining table, Xu An opened a dish that he had deliberately covered with a pot lid.
Then, seeing the curious crowd, Xu An smiled and said, "Since Sister Bai Ge just said you don't need to wash the dishes, how about we play a little dishwashing game with this dish?"
