DAVM Chapter 88.2

Ji Zhile glanced at the basin from the corner of his eye and said softly, “There’s still a little more.”

“Then, continue washing. Don’t play with water anymore. Playing with water will make you wet.” In the last half of the sentence, Si Tian lowered her voice a little, with a hint of threat in her tone.

Ji Zhile nodded immediately: “I won’t play anymore!”

He was still a relatively obedient child, and he did not do anything too extreme next time.

However, after washing the vegetables, Ji Zhile and Ji Ningyi left the kitchen together. Ji Zhile looked back at Si Tian, then leaned close to Ji Ningyi’s ear, and whispered: “Brother, Mom is so gentle today. She even smiled at me just now.”

Ji Ningyi, who had taken public classes, knew that his mother now looked a bit like Teacher Luo when they took public classes. Normally, Teacher Luo was very serious in class and never smiled during class. However, on the day of class at other schools, Teacher Luo smiled so softly and spoke completely differently from before.

Ji Ningyi thought about it. Maybe there were too many people in class, so Teacher Luo would be embarrassed, just like his mother today.

However, when he returned to his class at their school, Teacher Luo called a classmate who was naughty in the open class to the office. In the end, the classmate came back dejected, and the teacher must have told him.

Ji Ningyi also whispered to Ji Zhile: “Zhile, don’t make Mom angry. We have only been on TV for two weeks, but we will live with Mom in the future.” (T/N: So wise, my baby~~)

This was a sincere suggestion from Ji Ningyi, but it was obvious that Ji Zhile did not take it to heart. He said, “I think Mom has changed. She will never scold us in the future.” (T/N: Heh, you are so naive, Kid!)

Once Ji Ningyi stopped talking to Ji Zhile, he felt that Ji Zhile was very naive.

[What are the two brothers whispering?]

[It’s definitely not a nice thing to say, neither of the two people cares about the other.]

[To be honest, I thought that their relationship was not good from the beginning, and the good relationship was all staged.]

[Where did you see that? Did you use a magnifying glass? I think this is a very real relationship between brothers. It is impossible to be sticky all the time.]

Si Tian was cooking stewed meat with potatoes in the kitchen. She specifically told the staff not to take close-ups of the real thing and just shot her back to prove that she was working, which was exactly what the staff did.

Apart from anything else, Si Tian still did a good job of pretending, which led the viewers in the live broadcast room to think that she was good at cooking. A few people even changed their views on her a little bit.

Cooking just one dish was Si Tian’s limit. She could not make them hungry for lunch for the sake of appearing on the show, so the other dishes were cooked by the cooking aunt.

When all the dishes were placed on the table, the sweet potatoes were very obvious.

Auntie’s stir-fried vegetables were emerald green. The meat and vegetables were bright in color and looked very appetizing, while Si Tian’s potato cubes were bland in color and made people reluctant to try them.

But, Ji Ningyi was very considerate to her and tasted the potatoes with his first bite.

“Mom’s cooking is much more delicious than last time.” Ji Ningyi’s eyes crooked with a smile, “Mom is amazing.”

Si Tian felt a little embarrassed when he praised her.

When Ji Zhile heard what Ji Ningyi said, he immediately scooped up a piece with a spoon until he put it into his mouth. He moved his cheeks but did not swallow it.

He puffed up his cheeks and looked around. Finally, his eyes stayed on the camera for two seconds, and he swallowed bravely. His voice was a little vague: “Thank you, Mom.”

Si Tian smiled and took a sip. Her expression suddenly stiffened. She thought that she had made progress…

It doesn’t matter.

When she swallowed it, Si Tian comforted herself that at least it was cooked and she wasn’t considered a kitchen killer.

But, she almost did not reach for the plate of potatoes with her chopsticks. She did not even want to show off for the camera.

For Si Tian’s sake, Ji Ningyi ate another piece of potato: “Mom’s food is more delicious than the food in the school cafeteria.”

Si Tian looked at Ji Ningyi’s considerate look and thought that if the food in the elementary school cafeteria was worse than what she cooked, then a large number of parents would definitely sign up to change the cafeteria.

[Ning Yi is so good, those potatoes look very unappetizing!]

[What a good baby, let Auntie kiss you.]

[Although the younger brother is very smart and shrewd, the elder brother is really simple and considerate.]

[She is a mother of two children and she still doesn’t know how to cook. Why would you marry such a woman?]

Translator’s Comment:

I think some netizens need a good beating!

The value of women is not measured by her good cooking skill!
