Culinary Goddess Xie Yuyan

"Alright, since I've successfully made the first dish from the recipe, it's time to reward myself~"

Xie Yuyan muttered to herself, her demeanor gradually shifting. Her usual tone now carried a hint of desire.

So, should I pick Ye Feng's shirt or his jacket today? It's a shame he secretly hid his underwear—what a lack of trust!

Xie Yuyan grumbled. She had previously searched for more masculine items when Ye Feng wasn't home, but after a thorough search of his room, she found no trace of anything. In the end, she gave up, waiting for Ye Feng to slip up and reveal something.

......

"Tap, tap, tap"

Just as Xie Yuyan was about to embark on a thrilling adventure in her treasure-hunting grounds, she heard faint footsteps in the hallway of her floor.

As an experienced assassin, Xie Yuyan could tell the footsteps belonged to a man. From her time living here, she had gathered information about the residents on this floor, and none of the male occupants would return at this hour. Moreover, the sound of the footsteps suggested the person was full of vigor, and there was even a faint sense of familiarity.

Wait! Ye Feng is still in class at this time—it couldn't be him... Could it be...

Just as Xie Yuyan was about to peek through the peephole, the footsteps suddenly stopped right outside her door. Xie Yuyan froze in place, not daring to breathe.

Is it really them? How did they find me? Or did I unknowingly leave a clue I wasn't aware of?

No! I absolutely cannot be discovered... Ye Feng hasn't even tasted the dish I made yet. We still have so much time to live together. No... I can't be caught!

Xie Yuyan's relaxed nerves tensed up again, and she immediately began inching toward the sofa. Just in case, she had hidden a dagger under the sofa, and it seemed today was the day it would come in handy.

"Ugh..."

Xie Yuyan's eyes remained fixed on the unopened door as she reached under the sofa, retrieved the dagger, and clutched it tightly to her chest.

What should I do... If it's really someone from the organization, how can I hold out until Ye Feng returns...

No! I have to fight my way out before Ye Feng comes back... I can't drag him into this... But... but I really want to see him one last time.

Since meeting Ye Feng, Xie Yuyan's entire life had undergone a dramatic change. She hadn't even realized it, but being with Ye Feng had made her more sentimental, gradually transforming her from the cold-blooded assassin she once was.

"Ding, ding, ding"

Just as Xie Yuyan was on the verge of despair, she suddenly heard a crisp metallic clinking sound.

"Huh?"

This... this is... a key?!

Could it be...

Could it be that they've... they've done something to Ye Feng!!!

Unforgivable... unforgivable... absolutely unforgivable... You actually... actually harmed Ye Feng...

Die... die... you all have to die!

The brilliance in Xie Yuyan's eyes faded, replaced by a cold, deathly aura as she gripped the dagger tightly, exuding an intimidating presence like the Grim Reaper.

"Click"

As the key turned in the lock and the door unlocked, Xie Yuyan staggered to the entrance. The moment the door opened, her eyes widened, and she thrust the dagger toward the person outside.

......

"Huh? Xie Yuyan, what's wrong? You don't look so good."

The person who walked through the door was Ye Feng, who had returned home early from work. As he opened the door, a sharp pain shot through his brain, causing him to instinctively take a few steps back.

Strange, why did I just feel a sense of foreboding?

"Ye... Ye Feng! You're okay? That's great!"

Seeing Xie Yuyan standing in front of him, her hands behind her back, looking at him with a mix of panic and relief, Ye Feng couldn't help but feel something was off. He wondered what on earth had gotten into her this time.

After confirming Ye Feng was safe, Xie Yuyan quickly closed the door and took the opportunity to stash the dagger in the shoe cabinet by the entrance. The subtle movement went unnoticed by Ye Feng, finally allowing her to truly relax.

"Why would anything happen to me? I just came back after class."

"But didn't you say you'd be out until sunset? Why are you back so early today?"

"One of my students had something come up at home, so I came back early. Didn't expect that, did you?"

"Honestly."

As she spoke, Xie Yuyan stepped forward and straightened out Ye Feng's wrinkled clothes from his hurried journey.

"At least let me know when you're coming back early. It could be dangerous otherwise."

"You're right..."

"Alright, I'm just saying. What I really wanted to tell you is something else."

Xie Yuyan's tone brightened as she spoke, her eyes gleaming as if waiting for Ye Feng to ask. Her restless hands eventually settled on her chest as she smiled sweetly at him, her gaze shifting to the plate of shredded potatoes on the dining table.

"I did it!"

"Did it? You mean..."

Ye Feng followed Xie Yuyan's gaze, and when he saw the shredded potatoes, a shiver ran through his body, even stirring a slight feeling of nausea.

"That's right! I've finally mastered the art of making a delicious plate of shredded potatoes~"

Xie Yuyan excitedly pushed Ye Feng toward the dining table and handed him a bowl and chopsticks.

"This time, I'm sure you'll be satisfied."

Ye Feng hesitated for a moment before taking the bowl and chopsticks from Xie Yuyan. He looked down at the plate of shredded potatoes and swallowed hard.

Judging by its appearance, the dish seemed perfectly cooked, showing that Xie Yuyan had put in a lot of effort. Most importantly, Ye Feng could actually smell a faint aroma of the dish, which instantly washed away his recent fear of shredded potatoes.

Well... should I try it?

After steeling himself, Ye Feng took a deep breath, picked up a bite of the shredded potatoes, and without hesitation, put it in his mouth to chew.

"Mmm..."

Xie Yuyan watched nervously, holding her breath as she waited for Ye Feng's reaction.

"How... how is it? Does it taste good?"

"It's delicious!"

Ye Feng looked at Xie Yuyan in pleasant surprise.

"This is even better than what I make myself. The potatoes are cut just the right thickness, the texture is crisp and refreshing, and the flavor is perfectly balanced. I'd say this is the best plate of shredded potatoes I've ever had."

"Really?! I finally... finally did it!"
