Chapter 71: The birth of a fujoshi

Lin Feng turned on all the lights in the kitchen, brightly illuminating the interior and making Bai Jianning’s eyes narrow for a few seconds before adjusting to the brightness.

She could finally see the appearance of her third brother in great detail.

Lin Feng’s soft brown hair looked a little paler under the light, and his amber eyes were wet and clear. His skin was very fair and tender, but what caught her attention was the white robe he wore.

It was a traditional-style robe made of white silk, with black ink painting on the hem. The fabric was loose but clung to his curves. Tied at the waist, the robe made Third Brother’s waist look especially slender, and his figure appeared delicate, but not unhealthily thin. Instead, he looked quite soft, the kind soft baby rabbit that you want to carefully hold on the palm of your hands. 𝒻𝑟ℯℯ

A fair arm clad in a loose white sleeve picked up the black apron hanging on the corner. Lin Feng leisurely hung it over his neck and tied it at the waist.

The contrast of colors was almost artistic, and along with the ink painting, it looked almost like it was part of the outfit.

Then Lin Feng began taking out ingredients from the refrigerator. He saw all kinds of ingredients that had already been prepped and cleaned in advance. Even the garlic had already been mashed and frozen into blocks.

Perfect. He should finish in less than half an hour with the most time-consuming step taken care of.

With a gentle smile on his face, Lin Feng placed the frozen crab meat, shrimp, and ground beef on the island counter.

Next, he picked out the other ingredients: mashed garlic, shiitake mushrooms, dried bacon, some greens, lettuce, spring onions, shredded carrots, cucumbers, scallions, and eggs. There was also a large pack of whole-grain wheat wraps.

Bai Jianning’s eyes bulged as she looked at the ingredients. With so many ingredients to cook, just how long would it take for her to actually be able to eat? QAQ

Bai Jianning hurriedly helped Lin Feng wash the vegetables. When she also tried to help chop the vegetables, Lin Feng smiled at her and said, "Fourth Sister, you just need to separate the lettuce leaves and put them in a bowl. Then you can rest and wait until the food is cooked."

His smile was a little blinding, and the girl was momentarily dazed.

’Third Brother’s face... I thought he looked best when he was aloof, but now, I think he looks better when he’s smiling.’

Then, Bai Jianning watched as Lin Feng took out a pot and three pans and turned on all four stoves.

His long white sleeves were a little loose, but Lin Feng was used to this kind of clothing and did not look clumsy at all. Rather, the silk flowed like water in the air, and every so often, a hand gently supported and pushed back the sleeves.

After pouring chicken stock into the pot, Lin Feng dropped in a piece of seaweed and covered it with a lid before finally picking up the knife to dice the bacon and shiitake mushrooms.

The boy’s head bowed slightly, the arch of his nape graceful, his lowered lashes and faint smile exuding a tranquil charm. The long and slender fingers holding the unassuming ingredients looked especially delicate and pink under the light, and instantly, it felt as if the ingredients had become precious treasures.

The dazed Bai Jianning: ’Had Third Brother always been this beautiful?’

She knew that her cousin was truly eye-catching due to the mixed blood features from their grandmother, who had Slavic blood. The three Bai siblings were also all exceptionally good-looking due to this, but the only one who inherited the soft brown hair color and amber eyes was their cousin, Lin Feng.

Now, Bai Jianning finally realized the extent of how much beauty could stun people.

Third brother had indeed changed, and the changes made him even more alluring and captivating, as if some charm attributes had been added, creating a rather unique temperament that was incongruent with the world.

Lin Feng’s movements weren’t as fast as those of a practiced chef showing off lightning-fast skills. Rather, he even looked slow and deliberate, but every movement was graceful.

Bai Jianning did not even realize that her mouth was agape as she stared at her cousin in awe. Because of her unconscious habits, she instinctively pulled out her phone to capture the scene.

Whoever became her third brother’s wife must be very fortunate...

Wait, in Third Brother’s case, wouldn’t it be a husband?

The girl’s eyes widened as she remembered the things she had discovered after looking up the words ’gay,’ ’boy’s love,’ and ’same-sex’ in the forums.

Third Brother’s husband...

Looking at her third brother’s virtuous beauty and the perpetually gentle smile at the corners of his lips, Bai Jianning was reminded of an ancient Jiangnan painting.

No matter how she thought about it, her third brother was clearly the type who would be pushed down.

The husband should be taller, with a larger build, the kind of man who could wrap an arm around the beauty’s waist and envelop him entirely from behind while cooking...

It was as if a door to a new world had been opened, and the girl who was unaware of all these thoughts before finally realized how exciting and thrilling it was!

The girl’s eyes grew brighter and brighter, her cheeks turning redder, and the corners of her mouth kept rising without her even realizing it.

Until Lin Feng glanced up.

He then saw the strangely eerie grinning expression on his fourth sister’s face as she stood still on the other side of the island counter.

He almost dropped the knife in surprise.

"Fourth Sister?" Lin Feng hesitantly called, his heart beating fast and the hair on his arms rising into goosebumps.

Bai Jianning snapped back to reality and hastily wiped the corner of her mouth. Realizing how weird and stupid she must have looked, her face turned red as if steam were about to rush out from the top of her head.

It was the fault of all those things she had looked up after learning about the same-sex rumors going around!

Bai Jianning hurriedly explained, "I’m just really hungry! I’m not a strange person!"

Lin Feng: ’Why does it feel even stranger?’
