Apocalypse Foodie System: Watch Her Cook!-Chapter 207 - 202: Self-Boasting

Song Yunxiu watched Tang Yuan’s performance and couldn’t help but admire him. At least, Tang Yuan could cry, laugh, and change expressions at will, a skill that Song Yunxiu never mastered!

However, Tang Yiyi was embarrassed. Earlier, hearing Tang Yuan howling, she thought he was genuinely upset and showed displeasure toward Song Yunxiu. Now, hearing Tang Yuan’s reasons, she felt extremely guilty toward Song Yunxiu.

She looked at Song Yunxiu with guilt, then turned her head to give Tang Yuan a discreet glare, and scolded softly, "Tang Yuan, this is Uncle Ji, quickly apologize to your uncle."

Upon hearing "Uncle Ji," Song Yunxiu was taken aback! He suddenly remembered he was using an alias, and Tang Yiyi had no idea about his true identity and name!

Additionally, the title "Uncle Ji" was truly unpleasant to hear, and he disliked it immensely!

Tang Yuan knew that arguing with Tang Yiyi at this moment wouldn’t benefit him, so he obediently apologized, "Uncle Ji, I’m sorry." His well-behaved demeanor was especially endearing!

Song Yunxiu couldn’t possibly be angry with him. If he hadn’t been preoccupied with his identity issues earlier, he wouldn’t have let Tang Yuan apologize. Once he snapped back to reality, he accepted Tang Yuan’s apology and even put in a good word for him, finally coaxing Tang Yiyi back to the kitchen.

Once the kitchen door closed, Tang Yuan immediately changed his expression. He looked up, his big round eyes glaring at Song Yunxiu, and fiercely said, "Hmph! I’m not afraid of you! If you dare bully me, I’ll have my mom beat you up. My mom is really powerful!"

Due to his young age, he spoke slowly, almost word by word, his voice was soft and particularly clear. Looking at his chubby body and his efforts to lift his round face, Song Yunxiu’s heart nearly melted with affection. So he couldn’t resist picking Tang Yuan up.

"Ah!" Tang Yuan screamed in fright and instinctively struggled, kicking and slapping in a particularly fierce display of combat. Song Yunxiu tightened his arms, trapping him in his embrace, allowing Tang Yuan to kick endlessly without any issues. Seeing the situation was unfavorable, Tang Yuan opened his mouth to wail, but before he could, Song Yunxiu disdainfully remarked, "Such a scaredy-cat!"

Tang Yuan’s prepped wail got stuck in his throat. He glared at Song Yunxiu angrily, retorting, "You’re the scaredy-cat!"

Seeing that his goal was achieved, Song Yunxiu felt triumphant, but he feigned indifference and said, "If you’re not afraid, then what are you scared of? I’m not going to eat you."

Tang Yuan immediately discontentedly retorted, "You’re a big bad guy, I’m not scared of you!" In his anger, he didn’t realize he was now captivated by Song Yunxiu and ceased struggling.

Song Yunxiu was a bit troubled and slightly saddened. Where did he become a big bad guy? To correct his son’s "misperception," Song Yunxiu began debating with Tang Yuan in a low voice. However, Tang Yuan was unyielding, always finding reasons to counter him, his brain exceptionally clever!

Fortunately, at this moment, Tang Yiyi had rapidly prepared new dishes, bringing them out of the kitchen. The freshly cooked dishes were not only steaming hot but also exuded a rich aroma. Song Yunxiu, already hungry, felt his stomach growling at the scent, desperately demanding attention, afraid it might be forgotten.

Tang Yuan, still nestled in his embrace, was amused hearing his belly growl. When Tang Yiyi turned to fetch another dish, he mercilessly teased Song Yunxiu, "Your belly growled! So embarrassing!"

Song Yunxiu was at his wits’ end with his son, wishing he could give him a good scolding. Unfortunately, Tang Yuan was too sly; seeing Song Yunxiu squint his eyes dangerously, he quickly warned, "If you dare bully me, I’ll have my mom punish you!"

Song Yunxiu comforted himself—it’s good that his son is smart, at least he wouldn’t worry about him being bullied by others in the future!

Tang Yiyi quickly placed all the dishes on the table and was a bit surprised to see Tang Yuan still in Song Yunxiu’s embrace. This child, despite being young, seldom warmed up to strangers. Not just with the recently met Song Yunxiu, even with Zhang Xue and Pang Zhi, who frequently looked after him, Tang Yuan wasn’t very affectionate, seldom staying in anyone’s embrace for long. Now, he was so calm in Song Yunxiu’s arms that something had to be up!

Unable to hold back, she gave Song Yunxiu a suspicious glance and then scrutinized Tang Yuan, observing that Tang Yuan didn’t seem coerced. Once her heart was at ease, jealousy set in!

Her son shouldn’t be in someone else’s arms!

Tang Yiyi eyed the bowl and chopsticks in front of Song Yunxiu and immediately had an idea. After serving Song Yunxiu rice, she used the excuse of making him eat to reclaim Tang Yuan. Cradling her son once more, feeling the warmth radiating from him, Tang Yiyi was finally satisfied. Yet, in the next moment, she saw Tang Yuan drooling over the dishes on the table!

It was terribly embarrassing!

Afraid he’d sneak a bite, Tang Yiyi quickly sent him back to the playroom, assigning Pudding to watch over him before returning to the dining area to continue eating. Although made with regular ingredients, the dishes’ flavors were quite pleasant.

Song Yunxiu, hungry and eager to see Tang Yuan, ate particularly fast. Tang Yiyi, having already eaten half-full before, accompanied him for another three minutes before feeling full.

No help for it, Song Yunxiu ate so quickly. She couldn’t bear to have him finish and then wait for her to dine slowly.

Almost finishing simultaneously, watching Tang Yiyi clean up the bowls and chopsticks, Song Yunxiu discreetly assisted. Ignoring Tang Yiyi’s "no need," he stubbornly tidied up, only stopping after placing them in the kitchen dishwasher.

As a guest, Song Yunxiu couldn’t be left alone in the living room while Tang Yiyi cleaned the kitchen. Even if Song Yunxiu didn’t mind, she feared her precious son might be whisked away by him!

One couldn’t deny it, the sight of Song Yunxiu holding Tang Yuan sparked a strong sense of crisis in Tang Yiyi!

She politely led Song Yunxiu to the living room, but no sooner did they sit than the restless Tang Yuan rushed out, climbing onto the sofa beside her before she could even think of sending him back, secretly eyeing Song Yunxiu.

Seeing him somewhat wary, Tang Yiyi refrained from sending him back, lest he get bored. Song Yunxiu was particularly pleased, and after a satisfying meal, his expression softened, appearing much less stern, making Tang Yuan secretly less annoyed with him.

Of course, this was something Tang Yuan would never admit!

Tang Yiyi was contemplating what to say to Song Yunxiu when he suddenly asked, "What’s Tang Yuan’s real name? You’re quite lucky to have a child at such a young age. Tang Yuan looks great, clearly inheriting excellent genes from both parents."

Tang Yiyi didn’t catch the deeper meaning in Song Yunxiu’s words, thinking he was merely praising the child, and smiled proudly, "Of course, my son has been good-looking since he was young. He’ll definitely grow up to be a super handsome guy!"

"Hmm, you have good taste." Song Yunxiu grinned smugly. (To be continued. If you enjoy this work, please come to Qidian (qidian.com) to vote for recommendations and monthly tickets. Your support is my greatest motivation. Mobile users, please read on m.qidian.com.)
