At this moment, Fei Bai finally understood what it meant to lift a stone only to drop it on one’s own foot.
He forced a laugh and said with a stiff face, “Yes, I’m quite good at cooking.”
Playing with fire and cooking amateurish dishes, that’s what it meant.
On the other end of the phone, Luo Yusen probably had nothing better to do in the middle of the day, so he followed Fei Bai’s lead and asked, “What dish is your specialty, Xiao Shidi?”
Reheated leftover dishes, Fei Bai thought.
But he couldn’t tell Luo Yusen the truth, so he casually made up, “Too many to count. I could spend an hour listing them for you, Shixiong.”
Luo Yusen knew the kid was exaggerating but didn’t call him out on it and said, “Alright, I’ll wait.”
After hanging up the phone, Fei Bai passed through a row of luxury cars parked in the parking lot and found the unit building he was supposed to go to.
The houses here might not be as luxurious as Luo Yusen’s villa in the Second Ring, but they were much better than the dilapidated building he used to live in. As Fei Bai stood in the fully transparent panoramic elevator, he couldn’t help but think that being kept by Luo Yusen wasn’t such a bad deal after all.
Luo Yusen wanted him to move in today, but his previous rental contract hadn’t expired yet, so he had to terminate it early. Fei Bai thought of the penalty for breach of contract and felt a slight pain in his heart.
The elevator stopped at the floor he needed to go to, and Fei Bai took out the key from his pocket and opened the door.
The decoration of the house still followed Luo Yusen’s preferred style of simplicity and elegance. It seemed that someone came regularly for cleaning, as the floor was spotless and the furniture gleamed brightly.

There was only one pair of slippers in the shoe cabinet, presumably belonging to Luo Yusen. Fei Bai remembered that the other party was a neat freak, so he didn’t take them. He took off his sneakers at the doorway and walked in wearing socks.

But it still felt a little awkward. Fei Bai shook his head, stepped out of the bedroom, and thought about cooking for Luo Yusen tonight. He then went to check out the kitchen.
The kitchen was fully equipped with pots, bowls, and utensils, and there was also a large double-door refrigerator. However, it was empty inside, which made Fei Bai feel like it was a waste of electricity.
After inspecting the house, Fei Bai left. After finishing classes in the afternoon, he went back to his own place to pack a few things. He didn’t forget to take the box of condoms he had bought at the convenience store when he met Luo Yusen, and he also grabbed a bottle of lubricant. Then he called the landlord to inform him that he planned to move out in the next couple of days and would notify him after clearing everything.
After doing all this, Fei Bai began to worry about cooking for dinner tonight. Learning on the spot was not impossible, but he was afraid he might not only fail at it but also end up blowing up Luo Yusen’s kitchen.
If he tried to make instant noodles, he would probably end up blowing up the kitchen himself.
So, he had no choice but to order takeout and pretend he cooked it himself.
So Fei Bai opened the food delivery app and chose a remote restaurant with few customers and no physical store—a place Luo Yusen would never have tried. He ordered roasted chicken.
While waiting for the delivery, he realized a serious problem. He couldn’t keep ordering takeout every day for the next six months. It was fine if Luo Yusen wasn’t home, but if he was, how would Fei Bai explain going out to get the food? It would be too obvious.
So, lying always comes with a cost.
Fei Bai sighed, feeling like he needed to learn how to cook as soon as possible.
But then again, were the expectations for a kept male college student so high now? Accompanying him to bed was one thing, but now he had to cook too?
Indeed, every profession faces intense competition in this era of fierce competition.
Seeing that the delivery would take another hour, Fei Bai put on his coat and went downstairs. He planned to go to the supermarket in the nearby shopping center to buy some ingredients, put some of them in the fridge to make it look like he had groceries, and then try cooking something in the pot to create the illusion that he had used the stove.
Half an hour later, Fei Bai came back with a bag of vegetables, fruits, and four crabs.
Just now, while wandering around the supermarket, Fei Bai felt that crabs were the easiest to cook among all the legged creatures. Just steam them in a pot, and there shouldn’t be any problems.
He stuffed the vegetables and fruits into the refrigerator’s storage compartment, then poured the four live crabs into a large stainless steel plate. He took out a pair of large scissors and began to cut the rubber bands tied around their claws.
Dealing with the first three went smoothly. With a sense of impending success, Fei Bai went to cut the fourth crab’s claw. However, this crab was too spirited. As soon as its restraints were loosened, it eagerly crawled out of the plate.
Fei Bai exclaimed, “Hey!” intending to push it back into the plate. But unexpectedly, the crab, in its frenzy, grabbed hold of a fruit knife placed nearby.
“Damn!” Fei Bai jumped back in surprise. “Are you rebelling?”
After exchanging a few words with the crab in a trembling voice and realizing it wasn’t responding, Fei Bai felt relieved. He confirmed that the little creature wasn’t possessed or capable of transforming. He, as a human with absolute superiority in size and strength, reclaimed the fruit knife from the crab’s grasp and chased it back into the plate.
He poured cold water into the steamer, placed the crabs in the steaming tray, and quickly covered the pot to prevent the four-legged crustaceans from escaping.
Just as Fei Bai turned on the heat, his phone on the table vibrated. He hurried over to answer, “Hello, yes, it’s my delivery. Alright, please wait at the door. I’ll be down in a minute.”
The residential area had strict security measures. Outsiders were not allowed to enter, not even delivery guys. Fei Bai grumbled about this inhumane rule as he left with his keys.
When he reached the entrance of the residential area, he saw a delivery guy waiting on a motorcycle outside. The delivery guy also saw him and started confirming the last digits of his phone number from a distance.
At that moment, Fei Bai caught sight of a car approaching the intersection, looking very much like Luo Yusen’s. Panic surged within him, and he immediately ran over, snatched the delivery from the guy’s hands, and sprinted back towards his new home.
The delivery guy was startled by Fei Bai’s sudden action and chased after him, repeatedly asking if the order was for roasted chicken, trying to figure out if Fei Bai was picking up the order or stealing it.
Fei Bai held up the delivery bag and shouted, “Yes, yes, it’s mine!”
With his heart pounding, Fei Bai rushed back home like he was in a life-or-death race, opening the door faster than any thief.
Fei Bai hurriedly opened the cupboard and grabbed a few plates, transferring the food to them. Then he grabbed plastic containers and bags, stuffing them all into the trash can.
Just then, he heard the sound of the lock turning.
Fei Bai quickly kicked the trash can into the kitchen, took a deep breath, and walked to the door, flashing a smile at Luo Yusen. “Shixiong, welcome back.”
I think you better stop lying to him after already deceiving him once😂😭
