Although he prided himself on being an excellent cook, as the saying goes, a good cook cannot cook without rice. After searching the refrigerator thoroughly, he had to accept the cruel fact - there was no other food in the refrigerator except two eggs, not even leftovers. Did he have to eat one boiled egg each this morning?
The nutrition was barely enough, but it obviously couldn't fill my stomach.
Unwilling to give up, he searched around and finally found a tomato in the kitchen cupboard. The date on the label was the day before yesterday and it didn't look bad.
Although he didn't know why this tomato appeared here, he finally avoided the embarrassing fate of having to eat boiled eggs this morning. Han Zhou searched carefully again, and after making sure that there was nothing to find, he decided to make a tomato and egg soup.
Of course, scrambled eggs with tomatoes is also possible, but one tomato and two eggs are really not enough. He first washed the rice and put it into the rice cooker, and then went to the kitchen to make soup.
"This alone can't show off my cooking skills. Teacher Ouyang must be afraid that I'll show off my cooking skills, so he hid the ingredients..."
While thinking about all sorts of things and the soup was about to boil, Han Zhou suddenly heard a knock on the door.
At first he thought it was an illusion, so he walked out of the kitchen and listened carefully for two seconds. He found that someone was indeed knocking on the door. He couldn't help but feel confused. Would someone come to see Teacher Ouyang so early in the morning?
Just as he was hesitating whether to open the door, he suddenly heard the sound of a key being inserted into the door lock. He was startled and hurried towards the entrance.
"Sister Lianyu, didn't you come back here during the holidays?"
Zhang Xinyue had a fried dough stick in her mouth and a bag of soy milk hanging on her wrist. When she knocked on the door several times but received no response, she took out the key from her bag and opened the door. However, as soon as she opened the door, she saw an expressionless man standing at the door.
man?
She opened her mouth in fear, and the dough stick in her mouth fell to the ground. She first looked down with distress, then quickly took two steps back and asked vigilantly, "Who are you? Why are you in my house?"
She looked at the other person and after a closer look she found that the boy was not very old, probably of school age, and was very handsome.
Han Zhou also looked at the strange woman in front of him. After two seconds, he asked, "Are you Teacher Ouyang's roommate?"
"How did you know?" The woman was stunned for a moment, then her face showed shock, "Wait... Teacher Ouyang? You are Sister Lianyu's student?!"
As expected... Han Zhou understood in his heart. He had said that no thief would be bold enough to come and pry open the door early in the morning. The woman in front of him was indeed one of the two roommates who had shared an apartment with Teacher Ouyang.
Thinking of this, he smiled kindly and said, "Yes, my name is Han Zhou, and I am Teacher Ouyang's student."
He looks so handsome when he smiles...
Zhang Xinyue almost became infatuated, but she quickly reacted and said cautiously: "No, this is not a school. Even if you are Sister Lianyu's student, why are you here?"
She noticed one detail: the young man was wearing a pair of unusually large slippers and his hair was a little messy. A normal person would definitely not wear slippers when visiting... unless he was staying here overnight.
Sister Lianyu hasn't shown up yet, and only this guy came to open the door in slippers. If all these things are connected, there can only be one possibility...
"I see……"
She looked at Han Zhou with burning eyes and a sneer on her lips. If she was wearing glasses, her lenses would definitely emit an extremely dazzling light.
"You are actually a thief who sneaked in and stayed in the house when no one was there, right?"
The air was quiet for two seconds.
The smile on Han Zhou's face froze.
Are you a fool?

Chapter 205 Cooking Mastery
"Hahaha, I was just kidding."
Noticing Han Zhou's strange expression, Zhang Xinyue laughed out loud, seeming quite satisfied with his expression. She winked and said, "I know, you must be Sister Lianyu's boyfriend, right?"
"No."
Han Zhou shook his head to deny it. This guess was even worse than the joke just now.
"Oh?" Zhang Xinyue's face was slightly tense, and she stared at him with scrutiny, "Did you spend the night here last night?"
"Yes, but..."
"Did Sister Lianyu bring you back?"
"Well, but..."
"Is she still not awake?"
"It should be, but..."
"Then aren't you boyfriend and girlfriend?" Zhang Xinyue said in a tone as if she had solved a case.
What kind of novel theory of judgment is this?
Han Zhou forced a smile: "We are really just a teacher and student relationship."
Hey, I feel like this sentence sounds familiar...
"I know, let's put it this way. No one says that teachers and students can't be boyfriend and girlfriend."
Zhang Xinyue smiled brightly. Han Zhou didn't know if it was an illusion, but he felt like he saw a familiar shadow in this woman.
Xiao Yuyan.
Even if this guy is not the leader of CP, he is definitely a fun-loving person who is eager to create chaos in the world.
He was about to explain when he suddenly thought of something. His face changed immediately and he ran into the house.
"Eh? What's wrong with you? Am I that scary?"
Zhang Xinyue was stunned for a moment, then she trotted after him, carrying the soy milk. After she saw him run all the way to the kitchen and turn off the gas as quickly as possible, she finally understood and asked in surprise, "Are you making breakfast?"
"Ah."
Han Zhou took a look at the soup. Although it took a little longer to cook, it was fine.
"Love breakfast?" Zhang Xinyue winked.
Han Zhou was too lazy to pay attention to her.
But this woman was quite outgoing. She quickly came over, twitched her nose, and then said with admiration: "Is this tomato and egg soup? It's amazing."
"What's so great about this?"
"Isn't it awesome?"
After making sure that this guy was not joking, Han Zhou took a deep breath, found a basin and poured the soup into it while saying, "The simplicity of this dish is probably second only to boiled cabbage in boiling water."
"Boil the cabbage in boiling water? Is it that easy?"
Han Zhou was stunned, and looked at the other person with a look that said "Are you serious?", and said in horror: "You can't?"
That's right, it's a thriller.
"No." Zhang Xinyue shook her head blankly, "I rarely go into the kitchen."
Could it be that this woman is some young lady who has never done any housework?
Han Zhou had a headache and sighed, "Step one, add water to the pot. Step two, put the cabbage into the pot. Step three... I don't need to teach you this step, right?"
"Yes, yes. What is the third step?" Zhang Xinyue showed a curious look.
“…Fire.”
Han Zhou no longer wanted to pay attention to this woman. He brought the soup into the living room. Zhang Xinyue also followed him out of the kitchen and glanced at Ouyang Lianyu's room.
Seeing that the other person's room door was closed, she understood and thought that the other person was indeed in the room. She couldn't hide her curiosity, but she resisted the urge to ask.
The tomato and egg soup on the table was more fragrant than anything she had seen before. She shook the soy milk in her hand and suddenly she didn't feel sorry for the fried dough sticks she had just dropped on the ground. She looked at Han Zhou pitifully: "This soup smells so good. Can I have a share of breakfast today?"
"Yes." This was Teacher Ouyang's friend. Han Zhou's attitude was quite friendly and he nodded, "But you have to find the bowl by yourself."
He had just searched the kitchen for a long time and only found a bowl and a plate in the cupboard. He felt very complicated.
"no problem!"
Zhang Xinyue was overjoyed. She excitedly pushed open the door of the unlocked room, quickly took out two sets of bowls and chopsticks, quickly washed them in the kitchen, and then returned to the living room to prepare dinner. Her movements were quite quick.
Han Zhou looked confused and said hesitantly, "If I saw correctly just now...did you take this set of bowls and chopsticks from the room?"
"Yes." Zhang Xinyue nodded.
“Why aren’t they in the kitchen?”
"Why in the kitchen?"
"Shouldn't the dishes be kept in the kitchen?"
"Oh...you don't know yet."
Zhang Xinyue finally responded and explained, "Since Sister Lianyu is not very mobile, it's easy for her to knock over bowls and plates when she's in a wheelchair in the kitchen. Xiaomei and I moved away and we couldn't take care of her, so we put the extra bowls in her room and only left her one set of tableware."
Han Zhou suddenly realized that it seemed that Ouyang Lianyu's two roommates were quite caring towards her and even considered her to this extent.
But can't we just put the bowls in the cupboard?
"That's it, I know."
He nodded, turned his head and glanced at Ouyang Lianyu's room door, "That..."
"My name is Zhang Xinyue, you can call me Sister Xinyue, hehehe."
Why can you smile so obscenely...
Han Zhou suppressed his urge to complain and asked with a stern face, "Sister Xinyue... Sister, do you know how long it usually takes Teacher Ouyang to get up?"
"You don't know?" Zhang Xinyue widened her eyes.
"I don't know." Han Zhou sighed, "I emphasize again that Teacher Ouyang and I are really just a teacher-student relationship. I stayed here for one night for some reason."
"Oh, that's how it is……"
Zhang Xinyue deliberately dragged out the last part of her voice, obviously not believing it, but still answered Han Zhou's question, "Sister Lianyu gets up very punctually, usually no later than eight o'clock. You see, the time you prepare breakfast is just right. You have breakfast to eat right after you get up, hehehe."
It's 7:58 now, two minutes to 8.
As if to confirm her words, the next second, the two people in the living room heard the sound of the door opening at the same time.
Ouyang Lianyu pushed a wheelchair and walked out of the room. Her long hair was loose and she was not wearing any makeup. However, even without makeup, it was still difficult to find any flaws on her face. She just looked less mature and more immature.
"Student Han Zhou, are you watching TV?"
She seemed still a little sleepy. She put on her glasses while talking, and then she saw Zhang Xinyue in the living room.
The air suddenly became quiet.
When Ouyang Lianyu saw her roommate whom she hadn't seen for a long time, her first reaction was of course surprise. After all, they had a good relationship. However, when she saw the strange smile on the other's face and Han Zhou standing beside her with a helpless look on his face, she felt as if struck by lightning and instantly lost her sleepiness.
