Chapter 31 - The Destruction Of Eggs (1/2)

The previous Yu Mei Zhen was a scheming and unruly girl, but she was very dedicated to one thing. Her goal was very distinct and transparent. And that was to make the Yu Family accept her and like her.

But the requirements and sacrifices to achieve the goal were very tough.

They needed graceful, beautiful, and intelligent daughters to nurture the future of their family by marrying them off. As for sons, there were no requirements. As long as the gender was male, anything goes.

But alas, Yu Mei Zhen was born with a 'fe' before the term 'male'.

And here comes the tragedy, she didn't have any ounce of grace in her. Everytime she saw handsome men, she would fall in love. In one month, she would chase at least ten men.

Beautiful was a term that would be ashamed to be associated with her. Ugly and fat, she was too lazy to be bothered by her looks. She could not sacrifice her fried chicken wings for the breakfast neither did she ever go to a nutritionist or doctor.

And intelligence… her IQ was negative.

But she never spared her efforts in trying to impress her family.

And she took some cooking lessons secretly to impress them with her culinary skills like a virtuous daughter.

'A pity she wasted her efforts on wrong people…' Yu Mei thought to herself as she picked up a frying pan and kept it on the kitchen counter. As she looked into the memories of the previous owner, she realized that cooking was not that tough.

Especially when you make the easiest dish, like an omelette.

Happily, she picked up the egg carton and kept it beside the fan. Finding all the necessary ingredients and utensils, she stepped on the battlefield alongside Jun Zixuan who was busy cutting vegetables.

She held the frying pan in her left hand before looking at the five-burner gas stove in confusion. It looked more advanced and different than what was there in her memory.

'What kind of strange thing is this…? It's better to burn wood and make food on it…' She thought to herself while trying to twist the black circle-like thing but it won't budge even after all her efforts.

”Cough…That…” She awkwardly cleared her throat but the man continued to cut his vegetables without looking at her.

”You…” She sighed, ”I think this black thing on your gas stove is damaged. How are you planning to cook?”

”The control knob is alright,” The man emotionlessly replied without looking at her.

Control knob? So, this little thing is called a control knob. ”So, do you know how to twist it? I… This gas stove is a bit different from the ones I have used before,” She softly muttered but the man did not reply.

”This Young Master here…. Could you 'PLEASE' tell me how to use twist this black…cough…control knob?” She spoke through gritted teeth, emphasizing the term 'Please'.

Jun Zixuan tilted his head upwards before grabbing a carrot. His slender fingers kept it in place while the other hand held the knife swiftly as he cut it into even cubes. Even if she brought a ruler to measure it, all the cubes of carrots will turn out to be of the same length and breadth.

”Press it lightly before twisting it to the right,” came his reply.

She did as he instructed and the auto-ignition gas stove was on just like that. ”That was easy. I could have done that without your help,” She put the frying pan on it before pouring some oil, ”But still thanks.”

Her stomach growled in hunger and without wasting another second she picked up an egg in one hand and a knife in another.

Standing at a distance from the gas stove, she tried to crack the egg like a little expert chef.

''Ah…” But in reality, things weren't as beautiful as they were in her memory.
