By the time Ye Jinxin arrived at school, she was already late, so he couldn't blame her. The roads were too congested, and she couldn't even drive a car in. Fortunately, Wednesday's first period was self-study, and there were no teachers on the platform. There was only a class committee member supervising discipline.

No one wanted to waste their time serving others, so in the beginning, no one in the class was willing to take up the post of class committee. In order for class affairs to be handled normally, the class teacher had no choice but to come up with a system of rotating the class committee. Everyone had the right to work as a class committee for a day.

The class monitor who was on duty today was the comrade Gao Yunqi who Bai Xiaonan had told her had seen through her back.

"Ye Jinxin." Gao Yunqi called her name when he saw the girl sneakily trying to slip into her seat through the back door. A bit shaky, as if nervous.

Sigh! Ye Jinxin resigned herself to fate as she carried her schoolbag and walked over to the temporary class committee, "Sorry, I'm late."

"It's fine." The youth's young voice sounded very sincere, "Are you up late?"

Ye Jinxin shook her head, "It's because the road is too congested and we can't even get a car in." Gao Yunqi laughed, baring his canine teeth. He looked very shy and happy, "Me too, every day I'm being pushed over by a crowd of people." Ye Jinxin was amused by him, "Is your family from the High-Tech District as well?"

Gao Yunqi was stunned. Everyone knew that the high technology district was where the rich gathered. How could an average person live there? He had never expected Ye Jinxin to have such a low profile.

Gao Yunqi's eyes flashed for a moment, then he quickly replied, "Our home isn't in a high-tech area."

Perhaps it was because their conversation had disturbed the students in the front row, but some of them had already raised their heads and were staring at the two of them in dissatisfaction. Ye Jinxin embarrassedly nodded to the person in front of her, before quickly taking the late record book, making a tick on the column behind her name and signing the date.

Then he returned the pen to Gao Yunqi. "Can I go back to my seat now?"

Gao Yunqi nodded, "Sure."

Once they reached their seats, Bai Xiaonan tugged on the hem of Ye Jinxin's shirt and leaned over to ask in a small voice, "What did Gao Yunqi tell you?"

Ye Jinxin put her schoolbag into the pocket of the table and looked at Bai Xiaonan with a funny look, "What can I say? I was late. He told me to sign the late record book."

"Impossible." Bai Xiaonan's eyes widened, "How could he bear to punish you?"

Ye Jinxin glared at her, "Don't speak nonsense. I don't care, what if you make Gao Yunqi feel embarrassed?" Bai Xiaonan looked at the boy who sat on the platform in disbelief, "Am I wrong?"

Ye Jinxin was not the least bit concerned with her mincing words. She just took out the test paper from her bag and started to seriously answer the questions. She did not have much time to think about it. As he was writing, he suddenly recalled the words of the nanny. Huo Tinton had not eaten breakfast or dinner last night. The originally smooth writing of the brush stopped, and a small black ink dot appeared on the light yellow paper.

"Bai Xiaonan!" Ye Jinxin pulled the sleeves of her tablemate.

"What for?" Bai Xiaonan was completely befuddled.

"Did you rent a house outside the school?"

Bai Xiaonan nodded, "What's wrong?"

"Can you cook?"

"Of course you can. I'll have the wok, bowl, ladle, and all."

Ye Jinxin blinked, "Then can I come to your place during lunch break?"

"Didn't you all go home for lunch break?"

"This time, my dad is not home, so it's fine even if he doesn't come back once."

"Oh." Bai Xiaonan answered in understanding. Only her father would dare act like this when he was not at home, Ye Jinxin. Usually, she would just obediently carry her schoolbag and leave right after class.

"But why do you ask about pots and pans? You want to cook? "

Ye Jinxin puffed out her cheeks and said, "My dad didn't eat. I want to cook something for him to send to the company."

Bai Xiaonan pouted, "I couldn't tell that you were quite filial."

"Filial piety?" Ye Jinxin tilted her head and clicked her tongue, "Why is this word so awkward?"

When she was busy, she sent Zhou Hao to pick him up. However, the little girl felt like she had no personal freedom at all, not to mention that she was eighteen years old and had to rely on her parents to pick him up. This matter was known only to Bai Xiaonan and only she knew about it.

When he saw Bai Xiaonan's room, Ye Jinxin had a whole three views on it.

Huo Tindong's obsession with cleanliness had given her a feeling since she was young that if the room was not tidy, it was very likely that someone would lift her by the neck and throw her out of the window. Therefore, since she was young, she had developed the habit of carefully cleaning the room, keeping her things neat and tidy. However, when she saw Bai Xiaonan's messy bowl of instant noodles, unknown waste, white paper balls, and random bits of fruit paper, Ye Jin had an urge to immediately run out of this house.

Fortunately, Bai Xiaonan's kitchen was still rather clean. Perhaps the child had never used the kitchen before, so the pots and pans were still quite neat and tidy.

Bai Xiaonan took out an apple from the fridge, munched on it, and poured it on the sofa, saying, "What are you waiting for? Didn't they say to cook? "Go ahead."

Ye Jinxin sighed and thought, "Bai Xiaonan, I really admire you." Then, she picked up the vegetables and stepped over the obstacles and headed towards the kitchen.

When they arrived at the kitchen, Ye Jinxin was stunned.

What was the first step of cooking?

Not to mention cooking, Huo Tindong hadn't even let her into the kitchen. He had said something about gas and danger, but how was she supposed to deal with it now?

Ye Jinxin put the dishes under the tap, and began to think about the cooking steps of Aunt Liu with her hand on her chin. She had been staring at her for a while because she was anxious to eat the stewed pork ribs in the pot.

"Yes!" Ye Jinxin clapped his hands and said, "We should wash the dishes first, and then put them in the pot. Then we should also put the meat in the pot!" The girl threw all the vegetables into the sink and then turned on the tap to wash. Obviously, she had forgotten to remove the roots when she was washing the vegetables.

He took out the pork chop he bought and rinsed it under the tap. Ye Jinxin took the lid and threw it into the water. Perhaps because there was not enough water in the pot, the pork chop was boiled in the pot for a while before drying.

Ye Jinxin glanced at the pot and anxiously thought, "How can this be? I originally wanted to stew the stewed pork ribs soup, but now I have to boil the bones." In a hurry, he took some cold water from the tap and poured it into the pot. Seeing the cold water over the ribs, he then poured the vegetables that he had just washed into the pot with a sigh of relief.

"Hai." Ye Jinxin wiped the sweat from her forehead and covered the lid of the pot with satisfaction. Now that everything was still going well, she was waiting for the pot to boil.

So it turns out that cooking is so simple. She is truly a genius.

After about half an hour, Ye Jinxin could no longer wait. It was already half past one, if he did not send it over to Huo Ting Dong, he would definitely starve to death. The girl estimated that the time was only bones, so half an hour should be enough. As she thought of this, she opened the lid confidently. The fragrance of meat wafted into her nose, and the girl smiled in satisfaction. It seemed like she could boil it in half an hour.

Perhaps it was because she was too excited from the first time she cooked a meal, but with a shake of her hand, the hot soup slid along the edge of the pot and fell into her wrist. Ye Jinxin cried out in alarm as her hand tensed, wanting to throw the pot away, but her rational mind forced her to endure.

"Are you done eating?" Bai Xiaonan rubbed her stomach as she leaned against the door frame and asked.

Ye Jinxin shook her hot hands furiously and shouted, "There's still some food in the pot. If you're hungry, bring it out. I have to bring food to my dad now." After saying that, he rushed out of the kitchen with the thermal lunch box in his hands. Bai Xiaonan shouted from behind her, "Don't forget, you haven't eaten yet!"
