Chapter 12: The Twin Brothers Xiao Muxuan and Xiao Muyu

“It’s okay. This has a pre-made dish mode; you just need to mix the seasoning with the ingredients.” Qiao Xin hadn’t expected much from their cooking anyway. Adding the seasoning separately, whether a little more or less, would never taste right.

“But I only want to eat what you make…” Lin Yifeng looked at her with longing eyes.

“I’ll make you an extra portion every day.” This precious little one must be well cared for!

“Okay!” Lin Yifeng was instantly appeased and subtly glanced at Lei Wuxie.

Lei Wuxie??? What’s wrong with him?

“Big sister~ where’s Yaya?” Lei Miaomiao immediately sought attention, shooting a glare at her own brother.

Lei Wuxie caught the signal. What did that ancestor want now?

“Well, Yaya gets some too!” Qiao Xin quickly reassured them.

The little one’s affection was like a dish itself—since it was the same, there could be no favoritism. Besides, the cooking machine could handle it all!

If the little AI said the machine’s dishes counted as her cooking, then how could it not be considered made by her own hands?

Lin Yifeng glared unhappily at Lei Wuxie: “Can you control this little brat?”

Lei Wuxie: “No!”

Lei Miaomiao: “Shameless big brother, competing for attention with kids!”

Lin Yifeng: “Hmph!”

He Qing scratched his head, deciding it was better to just use the machine—it was quicker. If they made her cousin do it all, it would be tiring.

All he cared about was having something delicious.

Qiao Xin was quite pleased with He Qing’s tact—few demands, obedient.

After finishing the cold dishes, Qiao Xin began teaching them how to stir-fry. Lin Yifeng gave up, He Qing gave up, only Lei Wuxie persisted.

However, after frying his dishes, everyone unanimously disliked them.

Qiao Xin saw the dish looked good and the seasoning was correct, but after tasting it, the flavor was off. She could only advise him to quit.

Everyone had their own strengths; there was no need to stubbornly pursue what one was bad at.

Lei Wuxie blushed—a rare sight. No wonder Yaya never liked eating his cooking. If she hadn’t been slimmed down by the improved children’s nutritional supplement, it would be thanks to that tasty drink.

Thinking of his parents saying she was greedy for food, he finally understood.

Just smelling the aroma made her want to sneak off to other people’s homes for meals—what a little foodie.

Then the three of them all pitched in to help.

Lin Yifeng’s knife skills were poor, but as a wind-type ability user, he was excellent with wind blades, leaving even the clever Lei Miaomiao dazzled.

Lei Wuxie was strong in combat and very skilled at handling meat.

Only He Qing looked around, feeling a bit redundant.

Qiao Xin busily prepared other things, paying no mind.

Since she didn’t plan to let them stay for dinner, she had already made their evening meal.

Seeing so much food, Lin Yifeng and Lei Wuxie couldn’t help but ask,

“Isn’t this too much?”

Qiao Xin was completely unfazed. “Not at all, your dinner is included.”

The two who asked: ...That was a pointless question!

“Ah~ Yaya doesn’t want to go back yet!” Lei Miaomiao was the first to protest.

“You have to go back after lunch, or I won’t make Yaya’s food tomorrow!” Qiao Xin had to study and had no time to take care of the kids.

“Alright then!” Lei Miaomiao sighed but gave in for the sake of the long-term meals.

It was one thing not to see her sister, but not getting to eat was a big deal!

It was all her brother’s fault for not understanding!

The innocent Lei Wuxie got hit by the crossfire, thinking, “What’s on that little brain day by day?”

Lin Yifeng found it amusing and suddenly didn’t find the little brat annoying anymore.

Her brother was so old, how could he compare to him?

And still trying to compete for attention using her brother!

Xin Xin was going to cook his meals for a lifetime!

Lin Yifeng’s pride showed as a good mood that lasted through the meal.

The dishes were washed by the housekeeping robot, and Qiao Xin sent them all out.

Alone at home, she earnestly studied the basics of nutrition.

Time passed quickly, but the first to return were not Xiao Linfeng and Xiao Linshuang, the married couple.

“Who are you? Why are you in my house?” The twin boys looked at her coldly.

Qiao Xin was at a loss. She didn’t know them, and with no adults home, she could only explain awkwardly.

“I’m Qiao Xin, my mom is Xiao Linshuang.”

“Oh, that useless one from Second Aunt’s family. Uncle’s not home, and Second Aunt’s not home either?” The twins looked at her with disdain.

It was like seeing a poor relative come to mooch.

Qiao Xin frowned. In her old world, she had little contact with her grandmother’s family. Naturally, in this world, she was also unfamiliar.

Originally, her uncle and cousin had given her a friendly impression, but she realized it was wishful thinking.

The Xiao family might not welcome her.

Flattering some and looking down on others was the same everywhere.

“They went out on business and haven’t returned yet,” Qiao Xin’s expression also turned cold.

The twins showed no intention of introducing themselves, sitting on the sofa and turning on their light computers to play games.

Qiao Xin continued reading. Dinner had been made at noon and didn’t need to be prepared again. The twins hadn’t said they’d come back, so not making their food was normal.

Only after night fully fell did sounds come from outside. Xiao Linfeng came in, clinging like a persistent leech, while Xiao Linshuang and Qiao Zhenxing wanted to laugh but dared not.

“Uncle, Mom and Dad,” Qiao Xin immediately went to greet them.

The twins logged off their light computers but didn’t call out.

“Xiao Muxuan, Xiao Muyu, why didn’t you say you were coming back?” Xiao Linfeng saw Qiao Xin’s expression and immediately knew those two troublemakers had done something wrong.

“Uncle, can’t we come home?” Xiao Muxuan looked incredulous.

“Hmph, your cousin is here. Do you think we can ignore that?” Xiao Linfeng showed no leniency.

“Uncle, she’s just a useless one. What’s the big deal?” Xiao Muyu rolled his eyes.

“Is this how your parents taught you?” Xiao Linfeng tore off the leech with a face ready for trouble.

“Uncle, we are A-grade talent ability users. Why should we be nice to a useless one?” They sneered.

“Hmph, suit yourselves.” Xiao Linfeng sneered and looked at Qiao Xin. “Good girl, is dinner ready? Let’s eat first.”

Qiao Xin felt warm inside seeing her uncle on her side, smiling, “It’s ready, just waiting for you.”

Xiao Linfeng led them to the table, and Qiao Xin brought the prepared food.

“Niece, I’m here to mooch a meal. This is a gift for meeting you.” Xiao Linfeng handed her a spatial knot.

Qiao Xin looked at him, and he nodded. Thinking of why he had come, she felt her anger rise.

“Eat first!”

Xiao Muxuan and Xiao Muyu sat down as if it were their right, but Xiao Linfeng’s sharp gaze quickly flew over.

“Did I say you could eat?”

“Uncle, can’t we even eat at home now?” The brothers were furious.

“This meal was made by your cousin. Do you have the face to eat it?” Xiao Linfeng looked at them coldly.

The brothers glanced at each other and immediately stood up.

“If we’re not eating, then we’re not eating!”

What good is food made by a useless one?

They planned to tattle to their parents!

They were A-grade talents, and their uncle actually gave them attitude for a useless cousin!

Xiao Linfeng didn’t even look at them, turning instead to the others. “We’ll eat.”

However, after that episode, only the uninvited guest ate heartily. The rest ate without appetite.
