Chapter 332 Helping Others
"Okay." Zhuang Cui responded, "It's getting late. Zhuguo and my wife should go and rest first. I'll keep an eye on them for a while. If there's nothing else, I'll go to sleep."

"Thanks a lot."

Xia Mingyue spoke to Zhuang Cui and rubbed Wu Jin's forehead, "Thank you for your hard work."

"Woof!" Wu Jin wagged his tail happily.

With it here, don't worry!

After instructing Zhuang Cui to be careful and to call for help if any emergency occurred and not to act rashly, Xia Mingyue and Jiang Zhuguo went back to rest.

After blowing out the candles in the room, the yard became quiet and peaceful.

The dark figure who had hurried out of Xinghua Lane suddenly stopped and sighed when he reached West Street.

The clouds were blown away by the breeze, and the moon hanging in the sky was completely revealed, illuminating the entire earth and gradually revealing the original dark shadow.

It was Chef Wei.

After Chef Wei let out a complete sigh, he patted his forehead in annoyance and started talking to himself.

"Look at what you have accomplished! You are so old, but you still act like a young man. Are you trying to save face? What's wrong with being a girl? What's wrong with being younger? Can't you be a master?"

"I went there to seek advice and learn. I didn't do anything wrong. Why can't I say it? The teachers all said that one of the three of us can be my teacher. There are many people who are more capable than me. Why do you still have to show off in front of others?"

"No wonder your cooking skills haven't improved much despite your age. You're making the county school eat poorly but you don't dare to complain. How can you be so shameless?"

Chef Wei prepared himself mentally, scolded himself bitterly, and finally took a deep breath, mustered up his courage again, and walked towards Xinghua Lane.

When he arrived at the door of Xia Mingyue's house, Chef Wei found that the courtyard that was originally lit with candles had turned dark.

Judging from the posture, he has probably gone to bed.

Yes, it’s getting late now, so it’s reasonable to go to bed.

All we can say is that he hesitated for too long and was not decisive enough.

Chef Wei was upset for a long time and wandered at the door of Xia Mingyue's house for a long time. Finally, he decided to go back to the county school and come back tomorrow.

At that time, I must throw away all that ridiculous face and dignity and see if I can become Madam Xia's apprentice and learn cooking skills well!
Having made up his mind, Chef Wei breathed a sigh of relief and prepared to leave.

But before he could leave, someone stopped him.

A masked man in black stood in front of Chef Wei, holding a long sword on his neck, and shouted, "What are you doing here sneakily?"

Chef Wei was startled at first, then he curled his lips and said, "Who are you and what are you doing here?"

He is wearing black clothes and masked, and looks very suspicious!
"Let me ask you, why are you walking back and forth here, looking very sneaky, what are you doing?" the man in black shouted again.

Chef Wei was not to be outdone, "I'm asking you something too. You look like a bad person in this outfit. What are you going to do?"

The man in black said, "Tell me the truth, or I will be rude to you!"

"Tell me the truth, or I won't be polite!" Chef Wei stiffened his neck.

Man in black: "…"

Seeing the other party's silence, Chef Wei narrowed his eyes and urged, "Hurry up and tell me who you are and what you want to do. If you don't tell me, I will take you to see the official!"

"If you don't tell me, I will take you to see the official and let the county magistrate investigate you to find out what kind of villain you are!" The man in black was not willing to be outdone and his voice was a little louder.

Chef Wei paused, then looked up and carefully looked at the person in front of him.

The man in black and masked didn't look like a good guy, but from what he said, he didn't look like a bad guy? After all, no bad guy in the world would say "report to the police", and no bad guy would take the initiative to ask to go to the county government.

Chef Wei thought for a moment and said, "I am the cook in the county school's small kitchen. My last name is Wei. I came here today mainly to look for Madam Xia."

Looking for Lady Xia?

The man in black blinked his eyes and said, "Could it be that you are not good at cooking, so you want to learn cooking from Madam Xia, but you are too embarrassed to ask, and you are full of hesitation and indecision, so you walk back and forth?"

Chef Wei was stunned. "How did you know?"

"You can figure it out with your toes." The man in black pouted, then patted Chef Wei on the shoulder, "It's okay, it's not shameful to be inferior to others, and learning cooking from Madam Xia is not something you can't ask for. You don't have to be so hesitant."

"On the contrary, it is really shameful to know that one's skills are not good enough but do not want to learn more, or even to want to learn but refuse to bow down for the sake of so-called face."

Chef Wei didn't expect that a stranger would persuade him, and what he said made a lot of sense. He nodded blankly at first, and then asked in surprise, "Who are you?"

Even if he wasn't a bad guy, he wanted to know what he was doing dressed in night clothes.

"You ask me..." The man in black chuckled and suddenly shouted, "Madam Xia, why are you here?"

Madam Xia is out?

Chef Wei was startled and turned around quickly.

But when he found that there was no one behind him and it was still Xia Mingyue's house tightly closed, he immediately realized that he had been tricked. But when he turned around, he found that the man in black had disappeared without a trace.

Chef Wei: "..."

He didn't know what this person did, but he was sure of one thing.

This guy is a liar!

He lied to her and told her the truth, but then he got away with it...

hateful!

Chef Wei clenched his fists angrily, but when he thought about what the man in black had just said, he quietly unclenched his fists.

But he said some very correct things.

There is no need to be hesitant or to take things into consideration. Just speak first and don't worry about face!

Chef Wei made up his mind, looked at the door of Xia Mingyue's house again, and then strode away.

Behind the high wall, the man in black took off the black scarf covering his face as he watched Chef Wei leave resolutely.

It was none other than Xu Chong.

call……

Xu Chong exhaled, patted his chest lightly, and then raised the corners of his mouth.

Originally, he came to check it out because he noticed someone acting suspiciously outside and was worried that the person was coming for the young master.

I never thought that it would help a person get out of confusion and bewilderment.

It looks like today is another day for helping others.

I say it with a great sense of accomplishment!
The next morning, as soon as Xia Mingyue opened the door, Chef Wei came to visit.

Without too much greeting or false courtesy, Chef Wei bowed to Xia Mingyue and stated his purpose directly, "I wonder if Madam Xia will allow me to learn cooking from her?"
