31 Egg or No Egg (1/2)

After a lot of persuading by Zhou Zhenya, Zhou Lei gave in and cooked.

Hearing her brother's confirmation, she excitedly made her way to the dinner table and patiently waited there.

Zhou Jiahao was still confused as to who this handsome man was, but according to his conversations with his daughter, it should be that this handsome man is his son.

Of course, that just made him all the more puzzled. Why did both of his children magically turn into top grade models? And his son has such a nice voice as well...

He was very jealous.

”Aah, why did I not turn into a top grade model like them?” Zhou Jiahao complained loudly. He made sure that, whatever magical being made his children incredibly good-looking, it could hear him.

Zhou Lei was getting annoyed of his father's incessant complains, but he knew that he couldn't just shout at him as it would be disrespectful.

Instead, what he did was just grumble silently as he cooked.

Tsss.

Zhou Lei finished cooking the egg, and was sure to be careful this time, not letting the pan slip through his fingers and fall down on the floor.

He put the pan with the egg on the table where Zhou Zhenya was seated. She cut the egg in half to preserve some for later.

”Don't eat this.” Zhou Zhenya pointed to the other half of the egg she was going to eat.

”Don't worry, I'm still full from dinner.” Zhou Lei was not hungry this night. He already ate the egg he cooked on dinner.

”Speaking of dinner, why did you not cook the eggs at this level of deliciousness then?” Segueing perfectly into a different topic, Zhou Zhenya became curious about the reason.

”What? It tastes the same though.” Zhou Lei replied. He was confused as to why both his father and sister asked him to cook eggs when they could have just cooked the eggs themselves.

At this moment, Zhou Zhenya was too immersed in eating that she didn't bother replying to her oblivious brother.

She thought that he was trying to make her compliment his cooking. Yes, it is truly deserving of compliments, but those would not come if you force them out.

His sister's silence made Zhou Lei awkward. He, who expected a reply, scratched his head as he waited longer. No matter how long he waited, there was none.

He instead saw her expressions. She was too happy while eating the egg that it looked fake, almost as if it was just an act to persuade him into cooking for himself...

”Ugh, fine.”
