40: Chapter 40 Tofu 40: Chapter 40 Tofu When Ye Haochuan returned to school, it was precisely 9:30 p.m., and it was already quite late.
However, for the students, this was exactly the time when evening self-study ended.
As Zhao Bingqian drove her BMW into the parking lot of building seven, Ye Haochuan noticed many girls from the dormitory returning to their rooms in succession.
Since the dorm manager had posted the announcement, all the girls in building seven knew that he was the school-appointed doctor and were no longer surprised to see him.
Still, many girls, attracted by his tall and handsome appearance, were throwing him flirtatious glances.
Upon returning to dorm 512, a tempting fragrance of dishes hit him, and as Ye Haochuan looked up, he saw a table full of steaming food, which moved him greatly.
Unsurprisingly, it was the work of Lin Qingxuan, Zhang Ziyi, and Su Yingxue, the three dormitory girls, celebrating his return from the police station.
Still, Ye Haochuan wondered how the three girls could time it so precisely when he hadn’t said when he would return.
Just then, three girls suddenly burst out of the kitchen, making scary faces and waving their arms, giving Ye Haochuan quite a fright.
“Welcome back, Brother Ye, yay!”
Once he realized it was Lin Qingxuan, Zhang Ziyi, and Su Yingxue, Ye Haochuan breathed a sigh of relief and said, “Please, you girls almost scared me to death.”
Lin Qingxuan, Zhang Ziyi, and Su Yingxue burst into a joyous laughter again.
It must be said, the connection between people really does vary—just look at the smiles of the three girls, each distinct and charming in its own way.
Lin Qingxuan’s smile, shy and timid, had a touch of a gentle and delicate southern girl.
Zhang Ziyi’s laugh was open and mature, revealing a vibe of an intelligent girl.
Su Yingxue’s smile was sexy and captivating, particularly with the small mole by her mouth, lending a playful flair when she laughed.
So, Ye Haochuan was momentarily spellbound, seeing such beauties all at once, something he hadn’t experienced in his past eight lives!
Seeing him in a dumbstruck daze, Zhao Bingqian smirked and gently tapped him, saying, “Come on, uncle, haven’t seen a beauty in eight lives?
Look at you, your eyes are about to pop out.”
Ye Haochuan suddenly came back to his senses, feeling a bit embarrassed, but soon regained his shameless nature and laughed, “Right, I haven’t seen beauties in my past eight lives, especially not three such stunning beauties like them.”
Lin Qingxuan and the other two girls giggled once more.
Zhao Bingqian snorted, “What about me?
Am I not a beauty too?” she said, while emphasizing her impressive bosom.
Ye Haochuan shook his head and said, “Beautiful indeed, but sadly, only for looking, not for eating!”
Lin Qingxuan and the other two girls could not help but burst into laughter, rocking back and forth as if shaking like branches in the wind.
Zhao Bingqian, with a full face of exasperation and hands on her hips, dissatisfied, said, “Uncle, what do you mean by that?”
Ye Haochuan said with a smile, “What else could I mean?
You know what I mean.”
“I don’t understand!” Zhao Bingqian said loudly.
Seeing that the two were about to start arguing, Zhang Ziyi quickly tried to smooth things over, “Qianqian, let’s forgive Brother Ye, he’s just come out from the police station and is starving.”
Su Yingxue added, “Yes, yes, yes, let’s eat, the food is ready.”
Lin Qingxuan also pulled Zhao Bingqian aside, kindly convincing her.
After some persuasion, she finally calmed down.
Later, surrounded by the four beauties, Ye Haochuan sat down at the dining table, but upon seeing the tableful food resembling a strange medley—spinach stir-fried with oranges, watermelon stirred with bananas, pineapple mixed with tofu…
“Come on, Brother Ye, try our cooking,” Su Yingxue said playfully.
“This is the first time the three of us have cooked.
Many guys wish they could experience our cooking—it’s a rare opportunity indeed.”
“With this dish, even a fool could tell it’s your first time cooking!”
Ye Haochuan was speechless.
But how could he let down the girls’ kind intentions?
He quickly said, “Okay, let me have a taste.”
He picked an orange slice from the stir-fried vegetables and oranges dish and barely chewed it when, damn, his teeth were almost souring!
Ye Haochuan’s eyes bulged out on the spot.
Zhang Ziyi asked with hopeful eyes, “Brother Ye, I personally made this dish.
The taste isn’t bad, right?”
Seeing Ziyi’s eager expression, how could Ye Haochuan bear to disappoint her?
He forced himself to say, “Not bad, this sourness is refreshing!”
The oranges were so sour, of course they were ‘refreshing’!
Zhang Ziyi became smug and said to Lin Qingxuan and Su Yingxue, “How about that?
My cooking skills are unmatched, right?”
Then, Su Yingxue also had Ye Haochuan taste her stir-fried watermelon with bananas, “Brother Ye, try this too.”
Jesus, stir-fried watermelon with bananas, were you the cook?
“Okay, let’s taste this banana.”
Ye Haochuan picked up a piece of banana, but as soon as it touched his taste buds, his face froze, damn, so salty!
“Brother Ye, how does it taste?” Su Yingxue asked, propping her chin in a cute and innocent manner.
Having no choice, Ye Haochuan continued against his will, “This banana tastes good, sweet with a hint of salt, absolutely unique!”
With such a bizarre taste, it really was ‘absolutely unique’!
Su Yingxue, oblivious to his real thoughts, happily said to Lin Qingxuan and Zhang Ziyi, “See, Brother Ye said I did well too.”
Finally, it was Lin Qingxuan’s turn.
“Brother Ye, would you like to try my pineapple stir-fried with tofu?” Lin Qingxuan asked timidly, her eyes shyly avoiding his gaze.
It must be said, this dish of pineapple stir-fried with tofu, although it was new to Ye Haochuan, looked quite appealing with its golden pineapples contrasted against the white tofu.
With the lessons learned from the previous two samples, Ye Haochuan was more cautious this time.
He picked up a piece of tofu, and his eyes lit up, this actually tastes good!
“Qingxuan, you really have some skills, Brother gives you a hundred thumbs up.” Ye Haochuan said as he grabbed another piece of tofu and devoured it hungrily.
Lin Qingxuan, already bashful, blushed even more upon hearing this.
Ye Haochuan, seeing her embarrassed and beautiful, was greatly tempted, as pretty shy girls were absolutely his type.
However, remembering Dragon Roar’s warning, he felt down, such a gem and yet he couldn’t partake, what a pity.
At that moment, Zhao Bingqian clamored, “Come on, let’s eat, this lady is so hungry I can barely stay on my feet.”
Suddenly, all four girls picked up their chopsticks to start eating, but once they took a bite, their expressions instantly brightened!
“Oh my God, so sour!”
“Uncle, you cheat, you actually deceived me!”
