Chapter 267 Arguing with a Dog

Just as Dahei was contemplating whether to run away, a chuckle rang out, and Dahei's two ears immediately perked up. Before Xu Xuan could react, Dahei had already run behind He Fei.

"Woof woof woof woof." The big black dog rubbed its head against He Fei's hand, whimpering pitifully, and pointed its paw at Xu Xuan as if it were complaining, with a human-like sense of grievance on its face.

He Fei was charmed by Dahei's cuteness and couldn't help but rub its head, saying, "It's okay, he just wants to play with you."

Xu Xuan felt a pang of sadness. He had been talking to the dog for so long, and it had been rejecting him the whole time, but now it was letting He Fei pet it. This was just too unfair.

"Why does it only let you touch it but not me, and why does it look at me with such disgust?" Xu Xuan couldn't help but ask.

While rubbing the dog's huge head, He Fei smiled slightly and said, "Maybe it's because it doesn't like you, or maybe it thinks you're not good-looking."

"..." Although he sensed it too, Xu Xuan still felt heartbroken when He Fei said it so directly.

However… Xu Xuan asked, “Do you recognize this dog?”

“Yes, I know him.” He Fei nodded and said, “His name is Dahei, and he’s Uncle Li’s dog.”

"So it's Chef Li's dog." No wonder he hadn't seen it before. Xu Xuan looked at the big black dog, which was completely black without a single stray hair, and said, "Chef Li is a good name."

Big Black, not only is it large in size, but its fur is also completely black.

Big Black was sharpening its claws on the ground, afraid that it wouldn't be able to resist going up and scratching Xu Xuan.

"Big Blackie, let's not argue with him."

After being comforted by He Fei for a while, Dahei looked at Xu Xuan arrogantly. Well, as a noble black dog, he wouldn't bother arguing with a foolish human. It wouldn't be good if he got infected.

He Fei asked, "Why are you with Dahei?"

"This..." Xu Xuan was speechless. He couldn't very well tell He Fei that he originally wanted to go out and have fun, but after seeing Da Hei, he was not only looked down upon by Da Hei, but almost got into a fight with Da Hei.

"I know even if you don't tell me." He Fei continued to laugh: "I saw everything just now. You were talking to yourself in front of Dahei. Could it be... you were arguing with Dahei?"

Xu Xuan's face stiffened, and he chuckled awkwardly, "How could that be? How could I possibly argue with Dahei?"

Xu Xuan's expression confirmed He Fei's guess. He Fei clicked her tongue twice and said, "I know Da Hei's temper. I was wondering how you made Da Hei so aggrieved. It turns out you were arguing with Da Hei."

"You can even argue with a dog..."

"Can you just pretend you didn't see anything?" Xu Xuan said.

After all, it would be too embarrassing to talk about arguing with a dog. If others found out, his image would be completely ruined. But he was completely unaware that in other people's eyes, he never cared about his image.

Seeing Xu Xuan's expectant look, He Fei said with a smile, "Of course not."

Just then, Murong Chen's voice rang out: "Sister He, what are you doing here?"

"And Brother Xu, weren't you going out to have fun?"

He Fei: "It's all because of Xu Xuan."

Seeing Murong Chen suddenly appear, Xu Xuan laughed it off: "It's nothing, I just suddenly don't want to go out anymore."

"Hmm?" Murong Chen asked in confusion, "Why are you suddenly not going out anymore?"

He Fei answered for Xu Xuan: "Because he was arguing just now."

Murong Chen looked even more puzzled: "Arguing?"

"Someone just got into an argument with a dog."

Seeing Xu Xuan's increasingly desperate expression, He Fei told Murong Chen everything about Xu Xuan's argument with Da Hei.

After all, she's a very vengeful person; she still remembers the time Xu Xuan teased her about Chen Feng.

After listening, Murong Chen remained silent for a long while, then patted Xu Xuan's shoulder with a very complicated expression and said, "Brother Xu, when did you... become so bored?"

"Why don't you come and study with me?"

Xu Xuan: "...It's not as He Fei said."

“You don’t need to say anything,” Murong Chen said. “Brother Xu, I understand.”

Xu Xuan: "..." What do you know?

Fortunately, he didn't tell Chen Feng and Li Dayi about this, otherwise he would have been even more embarrassed.

After Li Dayi returned, Yuwen Chengdu waited at the Crescent Moon Tower. Upon seeing Li Dayi return, he stepped forward and asked, "Chef Li, how did your discussion go?"

Yuwen Cheng knew that Li Dayi had gone to discuss the new dishes with Chen Feng and He Fei. In fact, Yuwen Cheng also wanted to go, but because there were too many customers at Xinyuelou, only Li Dayi went. Now that Li Dayi was back, he couldn't wait to ask.

"Everything has been discussed and decided," Li Daya told Yuwen Chengdu, explaining the new dishes they planned to add.

Upon hearing the name of the dish from Li Dayi, Yuwen Chengdu couldn't help but swallow. Seeing this, Li Dayi chuckled and said, "Hurry up and stop drooling, you're about to drool."

Yuwen Cheng knew Li Dayi was teasing him, and chuckled, "Chef Li, I wonder if you could make these dishes for me to try?"

Although he had eaten these dishes at other restaurants before, they were all made by ordinary chefs, some of whom were not even as good as him. The taste of Li Dayi's cooking must be different.

"I'll cook all the dishes for you to taste later. Remember to observe carefully and start cooking from tomorrow. Try to learn how to cook as soon as possible."

“Okay.” Yuwen Chengdu nodded hurriedly: “I had already cleaned up the kitchen before you came back, so we can start cooking now.”

"Did you plan this all along?"

"No way, it was clearly packed in advance so you could start whenever you come back."

Before he started cooking, Li Dayi asked Yuwen Chengdu to gather all the other chefs and instructed them to carefully observe his cooking process.

While Li Dayi was cooking, more than a dozen chefs around him were watching attentively.

At first, everyone looked very serious, but as time went on, almost no one could stay serious anymore. All that could be heard was the sound of swallowing saliva, because Chef Li's cooking skills were just too good.

Although the dish was only half-cooked and not yet ready to serve, the aroma was already enticing. If they weren't worried about disturbing Chef Li, they would have urged him to hurry up and serve it.

Yuwen Chengdu took a deep, intoxicating breath of the aroma. Just one whiff was enough to make one's mouth water. This anticipation was just like when he first tasted Li Dayi's fried rice. The expressions of the others were similar to Yuwen Chengdu's; they were all impatiently waiting for Li Dayi to finish cooking.
