After being put through the wringer for half the day, Xiao Mu barely managed to teach them some basic moves.

Chuxingyue and Night Glass had been subtly competing behind the scenes, which gave Xiao Mu the biggest headache.

He’d truly experienced the terrifying side of girls.

“That’s enough for today. We’ll continue tomorrow,” Xiao Mu said to the two girls.

“Alright,” Night Glass replied, wiping sweat from her forehead. She pulled out her phone and checked the time. “Oh! It’s almost seven already. I didn’t even notice.”

“What’s up?” Xiao Mu asked.

Night Glass grinned. “Isn’t it about time for dinner?”

“Yeah,” Xiao Mu said, completely clueless.

“So, Master, are you planning to eat?” Night Glass asked mischievously.

“I was about to eat…” Xiao Mu paused, finally getting her hint. “If you don’t mind, stay and eat with me.”

“Thank you, Master!” Night Glass beamed with a bright smile.

Xiao Mu was momentarily dazed by it.

Chuxingyue snorted from the side. “If you don’t go home, won’t your family say anything?”

“Nah, they don’t care. I could even sleep over at Master’s place,” Night Glass replied.

Chuxingyue couldn’t argue further, but she definitely planned to stay for dinner too.

Not just to watch Night Glass—she’d fallen in love with Xiao Mu’s cooking.

Xiao Mu welcomed Night Glass staying. After all, she was a stunning beauty—just looking at her was a pleasure.

He wanted to show off a bit, twirling the kitchen knife skillfully in his hands.

“Master, amazing!” Night Glass clapped from the side.

Xiao Mu smiled and focused on cooking, putting other thoughts aside.

Night Glass watched in awe, occasionally gasping in amazement.

Ding! Night Glass’s affection for the host increased by 1 point. Keep it up, host!

Well, that showing off paid off.

Chuxingyue stood on Xiao Mu’s other side, helping him out.

Seeing this, Night Glass wasn’t to be outdone. She started fetching things he needed.

“Salt,” Xiao Mu said.

Chuxingyue and Night Glass both reached for it at once. Their eyes met, and in perfect sync, each grabbed a packet.

Xiao Mu stared at the two packets, one on each side, unsure which to take.

“Master, didn’t you need salt? Here you go,” Night Glass said with a smile.

“Xiao Mu, what are you waiting for? Take it,” Chuxingyue urged.

Xiao Mu felt like his head was splitting. After hesitating, he took both packets.

That way, he wouldn’t offend either.

Even cooking wasn’t peaceful. He’d avoid having multiple girls together in the future.

After about ten minutes, Xiao Mu finished a few home-style dishes.

Though simple, the aroma was so enticing it made your mouth water just smelling it.

“Wow, Master, I can’t wait!” Night Glass, completely at ease, started eating right away.

“Mmm~~” As she tasted the food, her eyes lit up. It was so delicious!

Ding! Night Glass’s affection for the host increased by 2 points. Keep it up, host!

Xiao Mu turned to Chuxingyue. “Sister Xingyue, join us.”

“Mm!” Chuxingyue had been dying to eat from the smell but couldn’t be as bold as Night Glass. Hearing him, she immediately joined in.

Xiao Mu chuckled softly. This was just beginner-level cooking. What would intermediate be like?
