I'm just being paid to be on a dating show, why do you choose me?

At half past five, when Chen Shen returned to the villa, Zhong Wenbai was already busy in the kitchen.

Seeing Chen Shen show his head, Zhong Wenbai immediately smiled and greeted him.

"Cooking so early?" Chen Shen asked.

Zhong Wenbai smiled shyly: "I'll make some braised meat and kimchi first."

Chen Shen leaned over: "Do you need help?"

Zhong Wenbai shook his head: "No, this is very simple, not as complicated as cooking. I'll put it in the refrigerator when I'm done. You can take it out whenever you want to eat it."

Chen Shen hummed and sat at the dining table with his computer.

Zhong Wenbai began to wash the prepared meat, occasionally looking at the dining table.

While washing, Zhong Wenbai spoke again: "Brother Can has been coming back later and later these days. He said he would cook with me, but he won't do it anymore."

Chen Shen looked up, coughed twice, and smiled: "It seems that you have completely gotten used to the life in the villa, just like your own home, and you know how to reserve food."

Chen Shen did not respond to Zhong Wenbai's words, but Zhong Wenbai understood.

People, especially those who love to learn, can't sit still. When love has no hope, they like to study other things.

How can I become a charming person while being excellent? Like Brother Shen.

He mentioned Zhou Guican because he wanted to know what Brother Shen thought of Zhou Guican, based on Zhong Wenbai's current understanding.

Brother Shen's charm does not seem to mean simply "good". After all, he thought Brother Shen was not good at the beginning. Zhong Wenbai is exploring the specific reasons for this cognitive bias.

Brother Shen avoided this topic. It's not that he didn't want to answer, but he reminded himself that the villa is not a home. Some things can only be said in private because there are cameras.

This seems to be back to the level of "good".

Zhong Wenbai frowned. He felt something was wrong. Since Brother Shen himself knew that the villa was a villa and the home was a home, why didn't he care?

"Brother Shen, do you think we should wait until the marinade is boiled before putting the meat in, or can we put the meat in cold water?" Zhong Wenbai also avoided Chen Shen's words.

Chen Shen casually replied: "There is a saying that cold water soup is delicious and hot water meat is fragrant. You can refer to it."

Zhong Wenbai smiled and said as if he had finally caught me: "So, Brother Shen, you must be able to cook."

Chen Shen was stunned. This kid also knows how to ask questions?

Zhong Wenbai walked around the island and walked towards Chen Shen. The expression on his face was like a student full of curiosity: "Brother Shen, why, are you holding back a big move? Cook a meal for the girl you like at a critical moment?"

After paying attention to Chen Shen, Zhong Wenbai did have this question. Chen Shen always said that he couldn't cook, so he rarely did it. He could watch the female guest who partnered with him cook alone.

Zhong Wenbai observed Chen Shen cooking noodles. He was very skilled and didn't look like he couldn't cook at all.

Since you know that there are cameras in the villa, you still have to remind yourself, but aren't you afraid that these clips will be broadcast and scolded by the audience?

Zhong Wenbai thought that he was holding back to give the female guest a surprise at the end, perhaps because he was afraid that Chen Shen would be disgusted by his behavior of exposing him. Zhong Wenbai added: "It's okay, I will definitely not show off. When will I use a big trick? I will help you, Brother Shen, really!"

Chen Shen smiled: "What kind of big trick is this? I really can't cook. Don't guess blindly."

Seeing that Zhong Wenbai was going to give an example to prove it, Chen Shen interrupted him: "Being yourself is the most comfortable. You are very good, and your brother Can is also very good. This is my sincere words."

Zhong Wenbai frowned, as if he knew something, but also seemed to know nothing.

Is Brother Can good? Maybe he is very good to others, but you have a lot of opinions about Brother Shen in private. You have told yourself several times that you are not good in this or that.

"But, Brother Can"

If Zhong Wenbai said this sentence in full, it would be But Brother Can thinks you are not good, but he was interrupted by Chen Shen.

"This is your greatest advantage and your greatest disadvantage."

Zhong Wenbai frowned and was confused.

He is indeed studious, both in academics and in life.

Chen Shen provided him with an attractive target template, and his desire to explore was aroused.

"It's okay, Brother Shen, if you are not afraid of being scolded, I am not afraid either." Zhong Wenbai directly revealed his cards.

Since he has to learn, Brother Shen is not afraid of these tricks, so why should he be afraid? If the program team broadcasts his words, he can be scolded.

Chen Shen sighed, the student is really good.

Looking at Zhong Wenbai's clear and curious eyes, Chen Shen shook his head and said: "I will only answer you one question. The previous Chen Shen may cook, but the future Chen Shen will definitely not cook, so the previous Chen Shen is not important to you at all."

Zhong Wenbai frowned and thought, he still couldn't figure it out.

Chen Shen reminded: "Your brine is boiling."

Coincidentally, there was a sound in the living room, and Zhong Wenbai had to go back to the kitchen.

Xia Qingyi is back, and it's rare to come back so early.

At the entrance of the restaurant, Xia Qingyi saw Chen Shen and walked over with a smile, but stopped halfway and turned to look at the kitchen: "What are you cooking? It smells so good?"

Zhong Wenbai was still thinking about the problem and instinctively looked up: "What did you say?"

Obviously, Xia Qingyi didn't pay much attention to what Zhong Wenbai said: "Start cooking at this time?"

Zhong Wenbai just realized the first question Xia Qingyi asked: "Braised meat."

"Where did this little jar come from?"

"Fuck, my marinade is boiling!"

They were talking nonsense and kept chatting.

Chen Shen couldn't help but laughed out loud.

Zhong Wenbai's thoughts were a bit fresh and unworldly, but what were you thinking about, Xia Qingyi? You wouldn't be thrown off balance by a hot search, would you?

Zhong Wenbai finally reacted and looked at Xia Qingyi: "I'm busy, you take a rest, I won't cook now, I'll cook when they come back."

Xia Qingyi frowned: "Or how about ordering takeout, I'll treat you."

"No, I'm not tired."

Zhong Wenbai wanted to introduce what dishes were available tonight, but before he could say anything, Xia Qingyi went out.

Zhong Wenbai shrugged, then continued to look at Chen Shen, what was he thinking about just now?

At 6:20, Xu Youen came back.

She wore a pair of white slim-fitting trousers today, and her well-proportioned legs were very eye-catching. Xu Youen walked towards Chen Shen naturally.

"What time do you get off work?"

"Five? Probably."

"Can we change jobs?"

Xu Youen sat next to Chen Shen, leaning on the table, his voice a little weak, just short of writing the words "I don't want to work in this job" on his face.

Chen Shen leaned back, he felt that girls wearing such conspicuous pants must have good-looking legs, otherwise they would always attract people to look at them more.

Slender and well-proportioned, once sitting down, she looked voluptuous.

"It will be fine, for sure."

Xu Youen seemed to have discovered something interesting, and leaned over, his legs almost touching Chen Shen's legs, the kind that could feel the other's temperature: "I used to take the light rail back from get off work, but now I take a taxi."

Chen Shen raised his eyebrows unconsciously, who would usually focus the body's senses on the legs?
