Ming Li: It's fine, that teacher should be here soon. You just do your best.
A Zi: ...Can I not do my best?
Ming Li seemed to know what A Zi was thinking, and said in a light tone: No.
A Zi: ...Is her sister Li a devil?
After speaking, Ming Li looked at Wen Yan again. After thinking for a moment, Ming Li spoke again: And you, it seems that the books in that room were still too few, allowing you to have time to mess around in the kitchen.
Wen Yan: ...His facial expression was incredibly stiff.
Sis...sister...
Before Wen Yan could say "sister", Ming Li mercilessly interrupted him. "After I finish filming this current drama, I'll arrange another task for you."
Wen Yan: ...Can I say no?
Ming Li glanced at Wen Yan lightly and said in an unperturbed tone: No.
Wen Yan: ...His sister has changed...
After speaking, Ming Li went upstairs, leaving only a heartless back for Wen Yan and A Zi.
Wen Yan and A Zi exchanged a glance, and the feeling of shared misfortune spread again.
The next morning, while everyone was still asleep, a loud bang suddenly erupted from the quiet villa, startling a flock of birds from a nearby tree.
With a "boom!", Ming Li opened her beautiful eyes and frowned. She threw off the covers, got out of bed, casually grabbed a jacket, and walked downstairs.
As soon as she opened the door, a familiar, unpleasant smell hit her.
Ming Li: ...The corners of her lips twitched slightly. She suddenly had a bad premonition.
Ming Li walked downstairs with a frown. As soon as she came down, she saw A Zi and Wen Yan standing at the kitchen door, covered in ash and looking at each other in bewilderment.
Ming Li strode towards Wen Yan and A Zi. Her expressionless face almost couldn't hold.
Ming Li glanced lightly at the kitchen that was still emitting black smoke, and said to Wen Yan and A Zi in a cool voice: What happened!
Wen Yan met Ming Li's cool gaze and took a step back guiltily, saying weakly: Sis...sister, listen to my sophistry...oh no! Listen to my explanation!
Ming Li: ...Her expression finally broke, and the corners of her mouth twitched fiercely. She suddenly felt an urge to hit her brother, what should she do?!
The system in the space: ...Host, I support you! It's best to educate your brother early. Go for it! I've even prepared a stick for you!
A Zi beside her: ...Big brother, did you just expose yourself?? Are you sure you won't be beaten by Sister Li if you say that? Although Sister Li used to dote on you, that might not be the case now...
Ming Li quickly regained her expressionless face and continued to say to Wen Yan in a cool voice: You can sophist, I'll listen.
Wen Yan: ...
Sis...sister, actually, when I was stewing the chicken soup just now, the pot suddenly exploded with a bang! And then, and also, I forgot to add water when I was cooking rice, and the rice accidentally got burnt and started smoking!
Ming Li's mouth twitched fiercely, and she nodded, saying: Continue.
Wen Yan: ...How did his sister know there was more?!
And...and also... I forgot to add oil when I was stir-frying, and the pot was of poor quality, so it exploded too...
Ming Li: ...
