Daddy! Come Home for Dinner!-Chapter 551: Male White Lotus

"Don’t go too far!" Fu Jiaxu said coldly, "I’m just here to borrow some spices. Why are you all insulting me?"

"During the last competition, Ding Ruyun got cursed out because she didn’t lend them to you. But now when it’s your turn, you don’t want to lend them to me either?" Fu Jiaxu sneered, "Talk about the pot calling the kettle black."

It seems like it’s the same for everyone, so no one should blame anyone else.

Xue Jieyu thought to herself, good thing she hadn’t agreed to lend him anything.

Of course, she couldn’t have agreed anyway.

Xue Jieyu turned her bag upside down, pouring out all its contents.

In the end, there was only a flashlight, a matchbox with just a few matches left, and not much salt remaining.

"This is all I have left. If you want some salt, I can give you a little, but as you can see, I don’t have much left." Xue Jieyu said, "As for the spices you mentioned, I’ve used them all up."

"Just these?" Fu Jiaxu was skeptical.

He thought Xue Jieyu didn’t want to give them to him and was deliberately hiding them!

"You collected so many spices and used them all at once?" Fu Jiaxu sarcastically doubted, "How strong must the flavor of your dish be?"

Xue Jieyu said with a cold expression, "These are all raw and unprocessed spices, so there’s a lot of unusable stuff. After removing all that, there’s very little left to actually use."

"If you don’t believe me, do you want to check my bag?" Xue Jieyu turned out all the pockets on her clothes, "You can’t search me, but I can show you the pockets of my clothes. I haven’t hidden any spices."

"Hey, Fu Jiaxu, aren’t you going too far? Xue Jieyu has already proven herself to this extent, and you still don’t believe her. Are you borrowing spices or trying to rob her? I’ve never seen someone borrow things with such a bad temper, pushing people to this point?" Ban Ziang couldn’t stand it anymore.

Fu Jiaxu said unhappily to Xue Jieyu, "If there’s none left, so be it. Why do all this, making it seem like I’m forcing you? Xue Jieyu, I didn’t expect you to be quite the actor."

Birds of a feather really do flock together.

How long has it been since she got close with Ye Fei?

And she’s already learned Ye Fei’s tricks.

"Wow, a male version of a white lotus huh? I’ve seen plenty of white lotuses, but this is my first time seeing a white lotus grass," Ba Zhekai sneered.

Huo Jiarong said to Mi Ruoyun, "No wonder they get along so well with Ding Ruyun. A male and female white lotus, true soulmates."

"Don’t go too far!" Fu Jiaxu said angrily, "I’m asking Xue Jieyu to lend me something, not you guys. Why are you all chattering on the side? What did I do to provoke you?"

Fu Jiaxu felt like he was being completely wronged.

These people, how can they gang up on him like this!

It’s simply too much!

No one responded to him.

This is a competition; no one wants to waste time arguing during the match.

Argue all you want, it’ll just end in a pointless circle of words.

Who would’ve thought, Fu Jiaxu still had the nerve to go find Ye Fei.

Everyone was shocked to see him stop in front of Ye Fei.

What a truly remarkable character!

After thoroughly insulting her before, now he intends to ask Ye Fei for spices?

The thickness of his skin, it’s absolutely incredible!

No one said anything.

Partly because Fu Jiaxu’s actions left them speechless.

And partly because they wanted to see how Fu Jiaxu was going to ask.

"Ye Fei, I see you still have quite a bit left, do you still need it?" Fu Jiaxu asked.

He had seen it with his own eyes, Ye Fei had already thrown the chicken into the fire made with twigs and dry leaves. 𝓯𝙧𝙚𝒆𝙬𝙚𝒃𝙣𝙤𝒗𝓮𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢

Even if she wanted to season it further, it wouldn’t be possible.

Is she going to sprinkle spices on the mud?

So, Ye Fei really had no reason to refuse him.

And also, she couldn’t lie.

Because her spices were clearly visible.

If she lied, she’d be exposed.

"I don’t need it," Ye Fei said calmly.

Everyone was feeling extremely frustrated.

The more they listened, the angrier they got, even infuriating themselves.

Knowing Ye Fei was forced into this situation, she had no choice but to say it like this.

This only made them think how shameless Fu Jiaxu really was!

Upon hearing Ye Fei’s answer, Fu Jiaxu showed a happy expression: "Then can you give me the remaining spices?"

"No," Ye Fei answered without a second thought.

Her reply was so quick; she didn’t even take a second to think.

Fu Jiaxu’s smile froze instantly: "Why? You gave them to Xue Jieyu last competition, why not give them to me this time?"

Fu Jiaxu sneered, "What’s this? You got good reputation last competition, so now you think it doesn’t matter and immediately reveal your true colors?"

"Fu Jiaxu, that’s enough! You come asking for materials, and when you’re not given, you turn hostile? With your attitude, who would give you anything!" Zhou Junhao, being the most hot-headed among them, spoke up.

"I wasn’t asking you," Fu Jiaxu immediately replied, "Since Ye Fei doesn’t need them anymore, and she has so much left, why can’t she let me use them to solve my urgent problem? She’s way too selfish!"

Everyone was amused yet infuriated by his words.

"Why should I give them to you?" Ye Fei raised an eyebrow, "You’ve always taken issue with me, always targeting me, assuming the worst about me. So why should I give them to you?"

"I’m not a saint. You’ve been mocking me and targeting me all this time, and you expect me to greet you with a smile? Do you think I’m cheap?" Ye Fei retorted bluntly.

Fu Jiaxu: "..."

"Xue Jieyu has no materials left and can’t lend you any. But even if she had some left and gave them to you, would you remember her kindness?"

"People like you, when you gain something, you think it’s deserved; that others owe you. Once you receive help, you forget about their kindness. Worse yet, you might even think they’re mocking you, pitying you, and that since they don’t need it, they must give it to you." Ye Fei said coldly.

"In short, you’re someone who holds grudges but forgets gratitude." Ye Fei looked at Fu Jiaxu with cold eyes, "Doing good deeds without expecting anything in return, that’s the baseline. It means that after doing a good deed, don’t hope for reciprocation, and this way, your mindset won’t become unbalanced."

"But it certainly doesn’t mean that after doing a good deed, you should bear grudges, and be belittled and scolded in your mind by someone like you, right?" Ye Fei said coldly, "I don’t think anyone is that pathetic."

"So, I don’t want to give these materials to you. Even if I throw them into the fire to burn, I wouldn’t give them to you." Ye Fei coldly laughed, "I’ve made myself clear, you can leave now."

"If you want to curse someone, keep it in your heart. We here have no obligation to listen to your vile words." Ye Fei said.

"If you think I’m an awful person, whatever. I don’t care what you think of me." Ye Fei maintained a ’couldn’t care less’ attitude, infuriating Fu Jiaxu even further.
