IRDFPFCIW Chapter 64

Some people might just have a natural talent for love, Jiang Tang thought, then he must be the type who had no love cells.

Jiang Tang blushed and accepted this idea. He awkwardly allowed Wen Renyuan to hold his hand as they boarded the returning starship.

After living for over twenty years in two lives, this was Jiang Tang’s first experience with romance. This left him feeling dizzy as if he was walking on cotton, even though he and Wen Renyuan had been together for over a week.

However, the person opposite him was clearly more confused—

“Cough, cough! What did you just say, what?”

Qin Fei, who was holding a half cup of fruit tea, had splashed all of it over his pants from his surprise.

He should have been lamenting his pants and the fruit tea he had just tasted for the first time, but the shocking news from his brother was too overwhelming.

George, who came to clean up the mess, cleaned the stained sofa neatly. Before leaving, he glanced at Qin Fei in a very humane way with a look that inexplicably showed disdain.

Qin Fei: “…”

He must be hallucinating.

“No, brother, did you just say you and the Marshal… you two, you and the Marshal…” Qin Fei pointed at Jiang Tang, feeling his tongue tie itself. Finally, he extended another finger and connected them both. “You two… are like this?”

Jiang Tang: “…”

Jiang Tang stretched out his hand and flicked Qin Fei on the forehead in annoyance. “Why are you stuttering? It’s just that your brother is off the market now. Look at how scared you are.”

“…Is this even the same? This is the Marshal!” Qin Fei swallowed hard, still finding it hard to believe. “I saw him in a teaching video just yesterday. He’s the idol of all my classmates, and now he’s my brother-in-law!”

Jiang Tang thought, don’t mention Qin Fei, he himself didn’t expect it either! What a lucky turn of events, he chuckled to himself.

Seeing Jiang Tang beaming, Qin Fei was at a loss for words.

“Brother, tone it down a bit. Your smile is about to reach your ears.”

Jiang Tang cleared his throat and tried to suppress his smile. “By the way, why are you back today?”

Upon hearing this, Qin Fei’s eyes immediately turned resentful. “No way, brother. I told you last night that we’re on break. Where else would I go if I didn’t come back?”

There was a silence.

“…You didn’t actually forget what I said, did you?”

Qin Fei stared at Jiang Tang with wide eyes. Did men in love really become like this?

Jiang Tang felt guilty. He remembered that he had been too engrossed in video calls with Wen Renyuan last night… What had Qin Fei said? He didn’t seem to read carefully.

He saw Qin Fei covering his face with both hands and rolling on the sofa like a worm, mumbling, “I get it. I’m just your optional online friend,” Jiang Tang: “…”

Oh no, he felt so guilty.

“Ahem, that’s impossible. What do you take your brother for? What do you want to eat? I’ll make it for you.”

“Really?” Qin Fei quickly uncovered his face and sat up straight in the next second. Then he started ordering food without hesitation, “I want to eat meat! I’ve been drinking nutrient solutions at school every day. I miss the taste of meat so much.”

Jiang Tang moved his left hand and thought, forget it, he only has one one brother. If he spoils him, it doesn’t matter.

But seeing Qin Fei become more cheerful since going to school and interacting with more peers made Jiang Tang genuinely happy.

If his brother wanted meat, it had to be arranged.

Jiang Tang thought for a moment and decided to make dry pot chicken and fish-flavored shredded pork, and he could also do a live stream.

Not long after sending out the live stream announcement, Jiang Tang started broadcasting. The live stream room was still very lively with viewers greeting him one after another.

“Hello everyone.” Jiang Tang smiled at the comments, “Where have I been? I just live streamed the day before yesterday.”

“Everyone says they miss me. Don’t you mean the delicious food in the live stream?”

[We really do miss you!]

[Something is wrong… Tang Tang seems extra cute today! Kisses to my wife~]

[Don’t you have a wife yourself? Why are you calling my wife ‘wife’!]

[Wait a minute, I feel the same way! The streamer is really sweet these days, is he in love?]

[What? Tang Tang is in love?]

[……]

Jiang Tang cleaned the chicken in his hands in an orderly way and glanced at the comments: “…”

Just then, a surprised shout from Qin Fei in the living room caught his attention, followed by the sound of something heavy hitting the ground. Then came a voice behind Jiang Tang, “Uncle Lu just sent over a box of shrimps. I brought it in.”

Jiang Tang turned around and saw Wen Renyuan leaning slightly against the shelf and looking at him with a smile in his eyes. He couldn’t help but return the smile. “Great, then we’ll add spicy shrimp to the menu tonight.”

The live stream room erupted with excitement at the sight of the two people smiling at each other, as if a small stone was thrown into a lake.

[That spicy man again!]

[I’m dead, I’m dead. Sistere, aren’t you all shipping this?]

[I suddenly smell a scandal…]

[I smell a scandal +1]

Jiang Tang read the comments calmly. He took a deep breath before wiping his hands and moving in front of Wen Renyuan.

He then took Wen Renyuan’s hand and returned to the camera.

Wen Renyuan realized what Jiang Tang was about to do. A hint of surprise flashed in his eyes, but he didn’t refuse. He just held Jiang Tang hand in his palm and looked down at him with affection.

With one hand holding Wen Renyuan’s, Jiang Tang felt two blushes rising on his cheeks. He touched his nose with his free hand. Wen Renyuan’s palm was very warm, as if silently offering Jiang Tang support.

“You guessed it right. I’m not single anymore.”

Jiang Tang’s voice was a bit low at first, but hearing Wen Renyuan’s happy chuckle beside him made him take a deep breath like he was not going to admit defeat. He raised his voice and continued, “I didn’t mean to keep it from everyone. We just recently confirmed our relationship. This is my boyfriend, and we’re just having a normal romance. I hope to get everyone’s blessing.”

Wen Renyuan gently patted Jiang Tang’s head as if treating him like the most cherished baby.

In the living room, Qin Fei, who knew the truth: …What a “normal romance”.

The comments exploded—

[Ahhhh, I knew it! That man has ulterior motives for our Tang Tang!]

[Fuck, fuck, sisters, it’s real!]

[Only blessings here.]

[The streamer is not single anymore, my youth is over.]

[I don’t believe it! I have a wife at such an age! How come he’s gone!]

[Wuwu, my wife is in love. His boyfriend isn’t me…]

Wen Renyuan raised an eyebrow at the comments and gently pulled Jiang Tang into his arms. He gently embraced him from behind as a gesture of claiming his territory. “What do you mean yours? This is my wife.”

The comments exploded again due to Wen Renyuan’s words.

Jiang Tang felt embarrassed and annoyed. He poked him in the arm and scolded, “What are you talking about!”

Then he turned to the comments, “If you’re not watching the food, I’ll end the live stream!”

Seeing the comments quickly shift their focus back to food, Jiang Tang snorted softly and finally managed to cool down the heat on his face.

Jiang Tang quickly chopped the chicken into small pieces, blanching them before setting them aside. Then he cut the lotus root and potatoes into thick strips, prepared the cauliflower, and sliced the green and red peppers and onions into rings. He also prepped ginger, garlic, and scallions.

After heating enough oil in the pan, Jiang Tang added the cauliflower and fry it on low heat. He used the same method to fry the lotus root, potato strips, and chicken pieces, then set them aside separately for later use.

Leaving some oil in the pan, he sautéed the scallions, ginger, and garlic until fragrant. He added a handful of Sichuan peppercorns and stir-fried the bean paste until the oil turned red. Jiang Tang then added the dried red peppers and chicken and continued to stir-fry.

A rich aroma wafted through the kitchen as he cooked.

Next, he added oyster sauce and other seasonings, along with the previously fried vegetables and the green and red peppers, then stir-fried everything together.

What had started as a simple aroma now became more richer and layered.

Jiang Tang laid the sliced onion rings at the bottom of a specially prepared dry pot, then added the dry pot chicken on top.

“All done, this dry pot chicken is complete.”

“Dry pot is named in contrast to hot pot. Dry pot dishes have relatively little soup, making them more fragrant and rich. At the same time, different ingredients can complement the taste and enhance the flavor.”

This dry pot chicken, with bright colors from the chicken, dried red peppers, and various vegetables. It was fragrant and delicious. The color layer alone was enough to make anyone eager to try it. They couldn’t help but give it full marks.

If one were to take a piece of chicken and put it in their mouth, the balanced flavors of numbing, spicy, fresh, tender, and crispy would burst forth. The chicken was very chewy, and the flavor was fully absorbed inside. And due to the short cooking time, the spices and sauces added during the rapid stir-frying penetrate into the food, which didn’t damage the nutritional components of the food much. The loss of taste and nutrients was minimal.

This time, Jiang Tang didn’t call the fans to eat first. Instead, he picked up a piece of beautifully red chicken that looked incredibly tempting. Once it was cool enough, he brought it to Wen Renyuan’s lips.

“Try it and see how it tastes.”

The comments: !!!

The streamer has changed! Since falling in love, he’s no longer the sweetheart of the fans. It’s all that wild man’s fault!

And that wild man Wen Renyuan, who was being scrutinized by countless envious gazes, raised an eyebrow. He slowly shifted his eyes from the delicious piece of chicken to Jiang Tang’s face, finally stopping at his rosy lips.

Jiang Tang was confused.

He pushed the chicken closer again. “Eat it.”

Wen Renyuan kept watching him.

With a chuckle, Wen Renyuan leaned down and bit the piece of chicken from Jiang Tang’s chopsticks.

He chewed the chicken slowly, but his eyes never left Jiang Tang’s lips.

“Delicious.”

Wen Renyuan said softly.

Jiang Tang: “…”

He couldn’t shake the feeling that Wen Renyuan’s words weren’t just about the chicken!
