Apocalypse Foodie System: Watch Her Cook!-Chapter 205 - 200: Visiting

Song Yunxiu nervously pressed his chest, his habitual poker face completely broke, and the corners of his mouth kept turning up. In his mind, Tang Yuan’s words were playing on a loop, the more he listened, the more satisfied he was, and the higher the corners of his mouth lifted.

At this moment, his personal terminal rang again. He looked at it irritably, and when he saw it was from Tang Yiyi, his furrowed brow immediately eased. After seeing clearly the coordinates sent by Tang Yiyi, his figure flickered, and he disappeared from the original spot.

On the other side, after Tang Yiyi turned off her personal terminal, she cautiously negotiated with Tang Yuan, "Tang Yuan, we’re expecting a guest later at home, do you want to meet them?"

The little bun, Tang Yuan, frowned and glared at Tang Yiyi with his round eyes full of dissatisfaction: "No!" To show his anger, he scooped a big spoonful of food into his mouth and chewed aggressively right in front of Tang Yiyi!

Tang Yiyi watched him huffily eat, with his cheeks puffed out from stuffing too much food, and couldn’t help wanting to laugh. But fearing Tang Yuan’s anger, she had to suppress it and try to persuade him, "Tang Yuan, I’ve already agreed to it, I can’t go back on my word!"

Tang Yuan snorted, "Then why did you ask me!" As he spoke, he scooped another big spoonful into his mouth, frowning even more.

Tang Yiyi thought for a moment, planning to pick him up and coax him, but as soon as she reached out, Tang Yuan turned his back angrily, with an "I don’t want to talk to you" look. 𝒻𝑟ℯℯ𝑤𝑒𝑏𝑛𝘰𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝒸𝑜𝘮

With no other option, Tang Yiyi said, "How about this, when he arrives, you can hide in the room and not see him, okay? He’s just here to drop something off for Mom and will leave soon!"

Only then did Tang Yuan relax his brow and asked for confirmation uneasily, "Really?"

Tang Yiyi, seeing him less angry, finally breathed a sigh of relief and then firmly promised, "Of course! When has Mom ever lied to you?"

Tang Yuan rolled his eyes, intentionally delaying his agreement with Tang Yiyi, and quickly scooped up a fish ball with his spoon, savoring it with small bites. This fish ball was made from fish caught from the lake by Tang Yiyi, and because it was a Second Level Mutant Beast, Tang Yiyi strictly limited his portion, not allowing him to eat too much. But Tang Yuan loved the fresh and sweet taste of the fish ball, so he was deliberately taking advantage of this opportunity!

Originally, Tang Yiyi was going to stop him, but before she could speak, Tang Yuan’s eyes were already brimming with tears. Remembering Song Yunxiu’s visit, she swallowed her words and compromised, "Alright, if you want this one, you can have it, but this is the last one! No more after this!"

Tang Yuan secretly made a victory gesture, paying no mind to Tang Yiyi’s words, pondering how to sneak a few more. But Tang Yiyi was insistent, even placing the bowl of fish balls at the farthest point from Tang Yuan to express her determination through action!

Tang Yuan rolled his eyes but couldn’t come up with a good plan immediately, so he slowed his pace, taking especially small bites, all the while giving Tang Yiyi a pitiful look.

Tang Yiyi softened at the sight of him like this, but thinking of Tang Yuan’s age, she steeled herself and said, "No, just this one!"

Tang Yuan felt extremely wronged, it was his first time tasting such a delicious fish ball, but Mom wouldn’t let him have more! Too unfair!

Because the fish was easy to digest, Tang Yiyi had made some fish balls for Tang Yuan before, but those used fish bred in Safe City, and didn’t taste as good as the mutant fish caught outside the city, so Tang Yuan liked these right away. Being young, he hadn’t thought it through; seeing something tasty he just wanted more, wishing he could fill his belly till it burst. How could Tang Yiyi let him be so reckless?

Tang Yiyi was about to scold him further when she suddenly heard the doorbell. She was taken aback. Who could it be at this time? Could it be Song Yunxiu? That was fast!

Though she thought it unlikely, she stood up and said to Tang Yuan, "Tang Yuan, Mom’s going to see who’s here, you better not eat more, understand?"

Tang Yuan nodded obediently, and as soon as she left, he quickly swallowed the half fish ball in his mouth, scampered up the table, and scooped another one with his spoon!

Tang Yiyi walked to the door, and seeing Song Yunxiu in the video doorbell’s projection, was first startled, then quickly turned to the door and said "Wait a moment," before heading back to the dining room to make Tang Yuan hide. As she returned, she caught Tang Yuan sneaking bites on the table!

"Tang Yuan!" Tang Yiyi was really angry this time. She sternly scooped Tang Yuan off the table, scolding, "Didn’t I tell you not to eat more? What if your stomach hurts because you didn’t listen?" She said as she felt Tang Yuan’s stomach, and only sighed in relief when she found it wasn’t bulging, carrying him to the game room.

Seeing Tang Yiyi truly upset, Tang Yuan became obedient, stopped fussing, and let himself be carried into the game room. Tang Yiyi, worried about scaring him, kissed his cheek to console him, "Tang Yuan, Mom didn’t mean to be strict, you’re young, many things can’t be eaten too much, or you’ll get sick, understand?"

Tang Yuan leaned obediently in Tang Yiyi’s arms, his tone contrite and soft, saying, "Mom, I won’t eat too much again in the future!"

Tang Yiyi had heard this promise countless times, and didn’t quite trust it! But she couldn’t bear to call out his fib as she saw how unusually well-behaved Tang Yuan was, so she just said, "Mom’s friend is here, if you don’t want to meet him, just stay here, alright?"

After she spoke and saw Tang Yuan agree, she put him down and closed the door to go greet Song Yunxiu.

But as soon as she was out, Tang Yuan dragged over a small stool, opened the lock, and cracked the door open to spy outside.

Tang Yiyi, not wanting Song Yunxiu to wait too long, hurried to the foyer and opened the door. Song Yunxiu stood at the entrance, looking serious, eager to see the child, but as soon as the door was slightly ajar, a delicious aroma wafted in, and his empty stomach protested immediately!

Tang Yiyi, wearing an apologetic smile, was about to say "Sorry to keep you waiting," but instead she first heard a "grumble," simultaneously catching Song Yunxiu’s habitual poker face.

Tang Yiyi stifled a laugh with much effort, welcoming Song Yunxiu inside, and to ease the awkwardness politely asked, "I was just having lunch, if you don’t mind, would you like to join?"

As soon as Song Yunxiu stepped inside he scanned his surroundings, not seeing the child, he felt a bit disappointed. But hearing Tang Yiyi’s offer, he almost instinctively responded, "Okay."

Tang Yiyi had no choice but to lead him to the dining room, and finding no spare tableware, went to the kitchen to fetch some. As she left, Song Yunxiu immediately turned his head, locking eyes with Tang Yuan! (To be continued.
