"Stop trying to act innocent." Li Xiaoyun said with a laugh, "The judges are fighting to eat the second piece. That shows how much they acknowledge you. After all, they have to judge several rounds in a day, even if they eat a little each time, they’d still be quite full by the end of the day."

Ye Fei smiled at her, "Don’t you want to try the dumplings I made?"

Li Xiaoyun immediately lowered her head like a foodie bigshot, "Of course, I do."

"Xiao Fei, how about we eat them tonight?" Ye Xiaomo was drooling.

"Alright." Ye Fei invited Li Xiaoyun to go home with them.

Li Xiaoyun shook her head without a second thought, "No, no, I have plans tonight."

Ye Fei suspected Li Xiaoyun didn’t want to come back with them because of Zhao Gushen.

Facing Ye Fei’s suspicious gaze, Li Xiaoyun quickly said, "I really have other plans."

Of course, the real aim was to give Ye Fei and Zhao Gushen a chance to be alone.

Zhao Gushen smirked slightly from the side, thinking that Ye Fei needed more good friends like this.

"Save some for me after you’re done wrapping them, I’ll visit you some day to eat." Li Xiaoyun said.

"Alright then." Ye Fei reluctantly agreed.

Li Xiaoyun drove off by herself first.

Ye Fei and Ye Xiaomo got into Zhao Gushen’s car.

Ye Xiaomo consciously sat in the back seat, on his safety seat.

He then started pestering Ye Fei to tell them more about the detailed occurrences during the competition.

Ye Fei picked to share some things.

As for others looking down on her, Ye Fei didn’t mention it.

After all, the final results could speak for themselves.

In this group, it might be the only time many people see each other, so there’s no need to mind what they think.

"I haven’t updated in a while, today is the perfect chance to record how to make the dumplings I made for the competition." Ye Fei said.

So, the three of them detoured to the supermarket, buying ingredients that they didn’t have at home.

Back home, Ye Xiaomo skillfully set up the camera.

Zhao Gushen noticed even the little guy had something to do, so he couldn’t just stand idle.

Otherwise, he’d feel out of place like an outsider in the house.

So, Zhao Gushen went to ask Ye Fei, "How can I help?"

Ye Fei looked at Ye Xiaomo busily working and then at Zhao Gushen. She couldn’t muster the courage to assign him any tasks, so she said, "There’s nothing much to do right now. You wait, I’ll prepare some refreshments for you."

"No need." Zhao Gushen held Ye Fei’s hand, just as she was opening a cabinet, "Even Xiaomo is busy, if I stand idly by, would you want me to feel left out?"

Ye Fei’s gaze subconsciously fell on his hand.

Even if it wasn’t the first time he held her hand, she still felt an astonishing heat.

"Then... then..." Being held by him, Ye Fei stammered, her mind blank.

Ye Fei felt her reaction was terribly embarrassing. Just by being held by him, her face turned this red.

Seeing her cheeks flushed, Zhao Gushen’s heart moved as well, and his thumb gently slid to her palm at some point.

His fingertip lightly traced her soft and smooth palm.

Ye Fei was dumbfounded.

Was Zhao Gushen being cheeky? 𝗳𝐫𝚎𝗲𝚠𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝘃𝚎𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝗺

Otherwise, why trace her palm!

However, she didn’t dare to be certain.

What if she was mistaken?

Ye Fei was struggling to hold back and was just about to ask when Ye Xiaomo came running over.

Ye Fei was startled and quickly withdrew her hand from Zhao Gushen’s.
