I really didn’t want to be a warm man when I was reborn

When the dishes are put on the table, everyone feels a sense of accomplishment.

Especially Xiao Qiao felt a sense of accomplishment. She cooked three of these dishes.

Of the twelve dishes, Li Zhe made four, Zhou Ziyu made three, and Xiao Qiao made three.

Liu Kaiyue and Shen Xin, one or two, each symbolically cooked a dish.

When cooking three dishes, Xiao Qiao is considered the main force.

In order to prevent Zhou Ziyu from becoming too young, she has recently begun to work hard on cooking, and her cooking skills have greatly improved.

"Honey, how do you like my cooking?" Xiao Qiao smiled and put a piece of ribs into Li Zhe's bowl, looking at him expectantly.

Braised pork ribs are a tough dish.

Li Zhe looked at her with a smile, picked up the ribs and tasted them, "Well, it tastes very good."

He was not coaxing Xiao Qiao. The braised pork ribs she cooked were really good, and the taste was no worse than Zhou Ziyu's.

"I'm... very talented." Xiao Qiao said quite proudly.

As she said that, she glanced provocatively at Zhou Ziyu.

Talent and stuff are just Xiao Qiao bragging about herself. The truth is that she secretly enrolled in a cooking class and practiced hard for a month.

Braised pork ribs is one of her favorite dishes.

Although Xiao Qiao doesn't care about studying or taking the postgraduate entrance examination, he is extremely concerned about competing for favor.

Beauty care, exercise and body shaping, hard training in cooking, and she is also learning yoga, flower arrangement, painting, piano, pottery, etc.

She has signed up for a lot of various training classes. As long as Zhou Ziyu can do it, she will do it. If the other party can't, she will also do it. She vows to outshine him.

Xiao Qiao is doing this secretly, preparing to make a blockbuster in front of Li Zhe.

However, she is still at the stage where she has learned a little bit of everything but can't use anything.

That means you can show off your cooking skills a little bit.

For the sake of fairness, Li Zhe tasted the dishes cooked by Zhou Ziyu, Liu Kaiyue, and Shen Xinyi in turn, and all of them approved of them.

If you want the harem to be stable, fairness is very important, at least on the surface, you can't be too biased towards anyone.

Li Zhe picked up the red wine, poured a glass of wine for each of the four of them, and then took the lead in picking up the wine glass, "Come, let's all have a drink together!"

Xiao Qiao, Zhou Ziyu, Liu Kaiyue, and Shen Xinyi looked at each other and also picked up their wine glasses.

boom!

The five people's wine glasses touched together.

Li Zhe took a sip of wine, put down the glass, looked at Xiao Qiao and the four of them, and felt a little relieved. They had been getting along in harmony recently.

In fact, all the peace in the harem was an illusion, all made for him to see. In private, Xiao Qiao and Zhou Ziyu often fought with each other, and the four of them basically didn't speak to each other.

Ruan Jing, Liu Jie, Lu Yingqi and other bodyguards would not tell Li Zhe about this kind of harem dispute.

Li Zhe also suffered from a common problem among men. He confidently thought that he could handle the harem, but in fact he was kept in the dark without realizing it.

He filled the four glasses of wine for them, then looked at Xiao Qiao and said, "Qiao Bao, have you been very free recently?"

Xiao Qiao retorted coquettishly: "I don't have any free time. I have to study, prepare for the postgraduate entrance examination, and..."

She added in her mind: She also needs to learn flower arranging, painting, piano, and a lot of things. It's very busy and hard, okay?

Li Zhe said funnyly: "Okay, you can be very busy if you don't have time!"

After a pause, he continued: "I am going to invest in a beauty salon for you. Since you are so busy, Qiao Bao, don't get involved."

When Xiao Qiao heard this, he became anxious, "No, I want to participate too!"

"Aren't you busy?" Li Zhe teased her with a smile.

"I want to participate even if I'm busy."

"Okay, then I'll count you in."

Li Zhe said seriously: "I own 52% of the shares in this beauty salon, and the four of you alone own 12%."

Zhou Ziyu and Xiao Qiao always do beauty care outside. This is not a long-term solution. Instead of letting outsiders earn their money, it is better to open a beauty salon by themselves.

Besides, it would make him feel more at ease.

It makes me upset when I hear about going out for beauty treatments and hairdressing.

"Husband, how big should the scale be?" Liu Kaiyue asked.

Li Zhe looked at her and said, "Make it as large as possible, and the more advanced the equipment, the better. Don't worry about money."

"After all, making money is not the purpose of this store, the main purpose is to serve you."

Although he said that making money is not the purpose, as long as this beauty salon is opened, it can just sit back and collect money.

Qudong has so many artists, anchors, big bosses and proprietresses running stores, who dares not to come and patronize them?

Just doing internal business is enough to make a lot of money.

Li Zhe plans to make this beauty salon take a high-end route and mainly receive celebrities and entertainers.

And it only deals with female customers and does not accept male customers.

Of course, the big boss is an exception.

"Xiaoyue, Xiaoyu, the four of you find time to inspect the location and store of the beauty salon together."

Inspecting stores mainly depends on Liu Kaiyue and Zhou Ziyu. Xiao Qiao and Shen Xinyi have too little social experience.

Liu Kaiyue and Zhou Ziyu listened and nodded.

Xiao Qiao smiled and asked: "Husband, what is the name of the beauty salon?"

"You four together..."

Li Zhe originally wanted to say that the four of you can just discuss it together.

But then I thought that if they were allowed to discuss it, they would definitely start arguing again.

"Let's call it Yuyanfang!" He immediately made the final decision.

The meal was extremely harmonious and pleasant. Xiao Qiao, Zhou Ziyu, Liu Kaiyue, and Shen Xin talked to each other and discussed the details of the beauty salon with Li Zhe.

They are very concerned about opening a beauty salon. After all, this is the first business Li Zhe has assigned to them, and they will be the proprietresses from now on.

Li Zhe poured wine for them frequently. After one meal, they drank three bottles of red wine.

After finishing the meal, Xiao Qiao was red-faced and drunk on the table, talking nonsense. Shen Xin's face was flushed, leaning on the chair with blurred eyes, and he was obviously drunk.

Liu Kaiyue's pretty face was rosy and she was also a little drunk.

Only Zhou Ziyu's cheeks were only slightly red, her expression was clear, and she was not drunk at all.

Looking at Xiao Qiao and Shen Xinyi who were drunk, Li Zhe smiled inwardly.

It’s good to be drunk!

Yes, he had deliberately made them drink before.

A breakup was better than a wedding. Li Zhe didn't want to defeat many with a small number, so he could only win over one or two of them.

In this way, you can advance, attack, retreat or defend.

Li Zhe turned his eyes away from Xiao Qiao and the others and noticed Zhou Ziyu looking at him with a smile.

That look seems to be saying, now you got your wish, can you breathe a sigh of relief?

This little lover of his dared to underestimate him, and he wanted to "take care" of her for a while.

Li Zhe picked up Xiao Qiao from the table, and then said to Zhou Ziyu and Liu Kaiyue: "I will send Xiao Qiao back to the room, and you two, Shen Xin, will send him back."

When he arrived on the third floor, he did not send Xiao Qiao back to her room. Instead, he carried her back to the master bedroom and put her on the big bed.

"Husband...Zhou Fox, get out of here..." Xiao Qiao muttered in a low voice.

Li Zhe couldn't help but smile when he saw her like this.

This Xiao Qiao is not honest when he is drunk.

In fact, Xiao Qiao was already very honest this time. She had a party with Bai Wei and the others in their dormitory before, and she got drunk and acted like crazy, tormenting Bai Wei and the others for most of the night, and Xu Yanni even took advantage of them.

Li Zhe leaned down and kissed Xiao Qiao, helped her take off her coat and covered her with the quilt.

He came out of the master bedroom and went downstairs to the basement.

When he walked into the gym, he saw Liu Kaiyue already waiting for him.

The two agreed to exercise together in the evening.

Liu Kaiyue was sitting on the fitness chair with her eyes closed, as if she was asleep.

She hasn't changed her clothes yet. She still has a white shirt + a black hip-hugging skirt, and a pair of beautiful black silk legs, which are thin, long and straight.

Li Zhe came to her side and called softly, "Xiaoyue!"

Hearing the cry, Liu Kaiyue reluctantly opened her eyes, her eyes blurred, smiled and said, "Husband, you are here!"

Her voice was a little slurred, and she was obviously drunk.

Red wine doesn't feel like anything when you drink it, but it has great stamina.

Li Zhe looked at her and sighed softly.

How can she exercise when she's so drunk?

Li Zhe carried Liu Kaiyue out of the gym, went up to the second floor, and sent her back to her room.

Putting her on the big bed, he let out a breath.

This Liu Kaiyue was really drunk, very drunk.

Li Zhe also helped her take off her coat and covered her with a quilt.

After coming out of Liu Kaiyue's room, he went down to Zhou Ziyu's room on the first floor.

The door was unlocked and opened as soon as she pushed it open. She obviously guessed that he would come and left the door open for him.

The headlight in the bedroom was not turned on, only the bedside table lamp was turned on. Zhou Ziyu wore a very sexy black suspender nightgown and sat on the bedside, holding a book and reading.

Seeing Li Zhe come in, she put down the book in her hand with a smile, "Hubby, you're here!"

Looking at this scene, Li Zhe remembered a saying, when you look at a beauty under the lamp, the more you look at it, the more beautiful she becomes.

With this in mind, he also got on the bed, stretched out his arms to hold her in his arms, "What are you looking at?"

"It's a novel."

"What novel?" He took the book and looked at it, and found that it was a book called "Selected Western Horror Novels".

The book collects 21 short horror stories by European and American writers, such as "The Devil's Fetus", "The Ghost Carriage", "The Strange Legend of the Tomb" and so on.

Wouldn't she be scared to read such a horror novel alone in her room at night?

Putting down the novel, Li Zhe glanced at Zhou Ziyu.

He discovered that his little lover likes to watch some sci-fi, suspense, mystery, horror, and even dark-style novels and movies, such as the movies "The Butterfly Effect", "The Master Key", "The First Commandment", etc.

"By the way, you haven't read a book for a long time, right?"

"Yeah!" Zhou Ziyu nodded.

It's been a few months since I finished "Want to See You", but she hasn't opened a new book.

"Do you have anything you want to write?" Li Zhe asked.

"No." Zhou Ziyu shook his head lightly.

After a pause, she added: "I came up with an idea, but I'm not very satisfied with it."

Then, Zhou Ziyu briefly explained to him the plot she had conceived.

After listening to it, Li Zhe felt that it was okay. It is an ordinary youth theme, and the idea is a bit close to "The Best of Us". It is the story of an ordinary girl meeting a top academic boy.

However, why does Zhou Ziyu always like to assume the perspective of an ordinary girl? She doesn't look ordinary at all, and she stands in a perfect C position among the crowd.

"This story is okay. Let me change it for you."

Li Zhe briefly explained the plot of "The Best of Us" to Zhou Ziyu.

He has not only watched the TV series "The Best of Us" but also read the novel, and his memory is quite profound.

Compared with the TV series, Li Zhe still prefers the original novel, which does not have a second male lead and is closer to reality.

After telling the plot, he asked Zhou Ziyu: "Xiaoyu, what do you think of this story?"

Zhou Ziyu nodded, "It's a very good story."

This story is very plain, but very real and touching.

The story she conceived was a bit false and failed to impress people.

"Then just combine this story with your story!"

Li Zhe paused and said with a smile: "Okay, now that you have your new book, it's time for us to get down to business."

After saying that, he lowered his head and kissed her.

…

Li Zhe breathed a sigh of relief as he carried Zhou Ziyu, who was sleeping deeply, back to the master bedroom upstairs and placed her next to Xiao Qiao.

At this time, Xiao Qiao turned over and hugged Zhou Ziyu, and muttered, "Hubby, you are back!"

Seeing this scene, Li Zhe couldn't help but chuckle.

…

Shen Xinyi had a dream. She dreamed that Li Zhe took her to the amusement park to play. The sun was strong and the weather was hot. She felt so hot all over and her mouth was dry.

Fortunately, Li Zhe was very considerate and bought her water.

"Husband, you are so kind!" She muttered softly.

Li Zhe, who was feeding her water in the room, had a smile on his face.

Next time, don’t let them drink together. It’s too tiring to serve this and that!
