"Looks like you're in a very good mood. Did the driving lesson go well?"

Chu Yifeng stood in the kitchen with his arms crossed. Wang Cheng had been singing since he entered the kitchen. He had never seen him in such a good mood like this before. He was curious about what Wang Cheng encountered in the driving school to make him happy like this.

"I met a university instructor there today. He [1] seems like a very gentle person. I was quite happy to chat with him." While Wang Cheng was fishing the chunk of beef, which he boiled half an hour ago, out of the pot, he focused on answering Chu Yifeng's question, then he placed it on the chopping board.

([1] Wang Cheng wasn't specific with the gender when he said this.)

"A woman?" Chu Yifeng suddenly raised his eyebrows.

"A man." Wang Cheng said, "There are women, but the two were middle-aged women in their forties or fifties. The beautiful women were in the other groups."

"It's quite a pity to hear you with this tone."

"Women are too delicate. What's regrettable." Wang Cheng heard that the other men in his group were very envious of the other groups. They were going to learn how to drive; not to pick up girls.

"You don't intend to look for a girlfriend?"

Wang Cheng cut the beef into pieces. He found that Chu Yifeng's knife was very sharp. He could cut bones without much effort and it was even easier to cut the meat. When he heard Chu Yifeng, he said, "I'm still young. Why the heck should I worry like that? And also, girlfriends are hard to please. I'm not interested in looking for an ancestor to enshrine and worship when I come back home."

"Doesn't your parents say anything to you?" Most elders in a family hope that their children would marry soon and carry their grandchildren in their arms. Although Chu Yifeng did not have any troubles in this aspect, Shen Yuan had it. Every time he could eat with him, Shen Yuan would complain that his elders had arranged a blind date for him.

"Of course not." Wang Cheng took a look at him and complacently said, "My brother's two years older than me. He still has no girlfriend. My mother has to worry about him first. It won't be my turn for the time-being."

Chu Yifeng looked keenly at him and did not say a word.

Wang Cheng said, "Boss, if you don't want to help, don't bother me while I'm cooking here. Go out and wait. I'll be fine."

Wang Cheng prepared two meat dishes, one vegetable, and one soup. He did not go to work today since he had lessons at the driving school for the whole day. He came back early in the afternoon, so he cooked the stewed chicks with mushrooms, which he was not able to cook last time. The chicken he used was free-range chicken which they bought in the supermarket. This breed was more expensive, but its nutritional value was high and it also tastes delicious. Rich people like to eat free-range chicken. That was why every time this was available for sale, a crowd of people would make a mad rush for it, so nothing would be left. They went to the supermarket early this time, so they were able to grab two. The other one was kept frozen in the refrigerator for later consumption.
