Chapter 266 Upgrade
At this moment, a sense of unease and anxiety unconsciously rises in everyone's heart, and they silently pray to all the gods for protection, hoping that they will not become the tragic loser.
After agreeing on the punishment, everyone quickly began forming teams and preparing to officially start this fun-filled activity.
With a gentle smile, Zhao Zhaodi spoke softly:
"You guys have fun, I'll take care of the logistics."
As soon as he finished speaking, Ye Wentao quickly chimed in, expressing his willingness to assist Zhao Zhaodi in providing logistical support.
"There are exactly eight of you here, which is enough for two card tables. I'm in charge of cooking, so I won't participate. I'll just stand here and watch."
After saying that, he patted his chest with great confidence, looking as if he had everything under control.
Upon hearing this, a hint of doubt involuntarily appeared on Wang Bin's previously calm face, like ripples gently spreading across a lake in the early morning. His bright, star-like eyes sparkled with curiosity, and he couldn't help but ask:
"Hmm... Could this be Zhao Di's boyfriend?"
As soon as he finished speaking, his gaze, like two nimble lightning bolts, darted back and forth between Zhao Zhaodi and Ye Wentao.
Upon hearing Wang Bin's blunt words, Zhao Zhaodi's fair, snow-white cheeks instantly flushed a delicate blush, as if painted by the magnificent sunset, making her look exquisitely beautiful.
She frantically waved her hands, explaining urgently:
"Oh dear, don't talk nonsense! This is Li Bin's cousin. It's all your fault for arriving so late. Li Bin has already explained the situation to everyone. Now, only you and Muli haven't officially met him yet."
Just then, Li Bin, who had been standing silently to the side, suddenly revealed a meaningful smile.
Then, he winked playfully at Ye Wentao, his eyes seemingly hiding a secret understanding known only to the two of them.
For a moment, the whole scene became somewhat awkward, but everyone was tactful enough not to continue making such jokes.
After all, being on a university campus right now, dating is still a rather sensitive and taboo topic for most people.
In no time, everyone had quickly formed teams.
Wang Bin and Mu Li team up against Cheng Hui and Shen Shanshan; meanwhile, Li Bin and Zhu Jing team up to face off against Yan Meili and Kong Hui.
At this moment, Zhao Zhaodi quickly arranged all kinds of snacks on each table, including crispy and delicious sunflower seeds, nutritious peanuts, firm ham sausages, sweet and crispy biscuits, and so on.
Seeing this dazzling array of mouthwatering delicacies, Yan Meili couldn't help but start eating with gusto. While savoring a sausage, she said with a grin:
"Oh my, Zhaodi, it's always the most comfortable to visit your home! Every time I come, I get such a generous treat of snacks. It makes me wonder if your family runs a snack shop!"
Wang Bin, who was focused on shuffling the cards, didn't even look up when he heard this, and casually echoed:
"That's right! Look at this huge pile of delicious food, especially these sausages, they taste really good! 'Zhao's Sausage'? After all, Zhao Zhaodi, you also have the surname Zhao, so it's not like this is produced by your family, is it?"
After saying that, he raised the corners of his mouth slightly, revealing a sly smile.
Faced with Wang Bin's teasing, Yan Meili simply smiled lightly and did not respond.
Just then, the sound of a key turning in the lock came from inside—it turned out that Xu Shuhui and Lin Fangfang had returned from grocery shopping.
Hearing the familiar sound of the door opening, Zhao Zhaodi quickly stood up and hurried to the door...
Ye Wentao was sitting quietly next to Li Bin, watching the intense battle, but when Zhao Zhaodi got up and walked out, he followed her out of the main room without hesitation.
"Zhao Di, why don't you two play cards together?"
Lin Fangfang asked curiously.
Zhao Zhaodi replied with a smile:
"They've just enough for eight people, enough for two card games. As for me, I'll be in charge of the logistics. Ye Wentao volunteered to cook today!"
Upon hearing this, Lin Fangfang quickly waved her hand and said:
"Oh dear, that won't do! Grandma and I are quick, we can get the food ready in no time. I just called your dad and asked him to pick up a couple of dishes on his way home from get off work. There's really no need for you to help out. You young people finally have a holiday at home, go relax and have fun!"
Ye Wentao, however, said with a sincere expression:
"Auntie, you're too kind! We've brought so many people here, it must have been a lot of trouble for you. Let me show off my cooking skills tonight and cook a few dishes. You were planning to come to my house anyway, and I'll be the one cooking when you come, but my cooking skills probably can't compare to Grandma's or yours."
After saying that, he quickly rolled up his sleeves and strode after his grandmother into the kitchen.
"Wow, you can cook? Do you often cook at home?"
Xu Shuhui asked with a smile.
"Um...yes, my name is Ye Wentao. My parents are usually very busy with work, so it's often just me and my grandma at home. And my grandma's health has never been very good, so I've been cooking for myself since junior high school."
Ye Wentao answered truthfully.
"Yes, Ye Wentao, that's really impressive. You're so independent at such a young age."
Xu Shuhui couldn't help but praise her.
At this moment, Ye Wentao turned to look at his grandmother and said gently:
"Grandma, let me wash the vegetables. You just need to tell me what vegetables to prepare today. It's terribly cold today, so you should go and rest. I can take care of things here."
However, Lin Fangfang, who was standing to the side, quickly waved her hand in refusal:
"Oh dear, Ye Wentao, this won't do! How can we expect you to cook for us when you come to our house as a guest? Zhao Zhaodi and I will cook instead. We don't need to prepare too many dishes. Uncle can just pick up a few more on his way home from get off work."
Upon hearing this, Ye Wentao quickly smiled and explained:
"Auntie, please don't be so polite! So many of our classmates have come this time, and we already agreed beforehand that I would cook for everyone and show off my skills. If I don't keep my promise, everyone will definitely say that I'm untrustworthy!"
