In the kitchen.
The firewood in the stove was still warm, and even after a long time, the chicken soup was still steaming hot.
Xu Tumi took the big spoon Xiang Yi gave her, puffed and blew the soup a few times before downing it in one gulp. It was so fresh and delicious that she clenched her fists.

The fattiest parts under the skin of the old hen were removed before cooking, and freshly picked mushrooms were added to absorb the oil. Hence, the soup was not greasy at all.
The red dates and wolfberries not only added a splash of color to the chicken soup, but also the right amount of sweetness.
After drinking the soup, she took a bite of the juicy mushroom that was filled with the rich chicken broth. It was as if fireworks exploded in her brain .
‘So fragrant!’ She thought, summarizing her emotions into two words!
“Oooo it has such a heavenly aroma, it’s really so fragrant…” Xu Tumi’s eyes were teary. It was unclear if it was because of the heat of the pot or because she was touched.
As for the toxic life advice that Bai Wuxia had given, she had completely forgotten all about them.
‘Bai Wuxia? Who is he? Does it matter?’
‘His words are nothing!’
‘Xiang Yi’s life advice is the best!!!’
…
Without Xiang Yi and Xu Tumi, the atmosphere at the dinner table became even more bizarre.
Bai Wuxia couldn’t get over it, so he furiously took the moral high ground again, trying to prove he was right by undermining Xiang Yi.
“Confucius said that father and son are related by blood, rulers and ministers have righteousness, husband and wife are different, elders and children follow an order, and trust exists between friends. But now it seems that these teachings have been forgotten by young people! It’s ridiculous that they don’t even treat their elders with basic respect!”

He had always liked quoting cla.s.sic scriptures and claim to be cultured by taking advantage of the fact that many artists in the entertainment industry have low education levels.
Many smalltime artists were criticized by him but they did not dare to say anything. Instead they would feel ashamed for being too ignorant.
Unexpectedly, Jun Han retorted, “This sentence was said by Meng Zi, right?”
Feeling embarra.s.sed, Bai Wuxia feigned anger and chided, “What do you know!?! You’ve only read a few books and you already have the guts to refute your senior?”
Jun Han was speechless. “I’ve at least graduated with a major in Chinese language and I have some general knowledge of literature. Senior, surely you don’t think that I can’t even read, right?”
For a while, the comments in the live stream were divided:
—— [Just checked, it is indeed a quote from Meng Zi but Junhan is displaying his lack of EQ by pointing it out just like that!]

–[???? What’s wrong with Han Han pointing out the mistakes of his senior? We’re in a modern day and age, why are you people still stuck with a feudal mindset!?!]
Just as the netizens were bickering, s.h.i.+ Sui returned after feeding Little Xiji.
Bai Wuxia tried to pull him over to his side and recounted what had just happened, and then highlighted the aspects that were in his favor at the time.

At the end, he said agitatedly, “Don’t you think it’s necessary to listen to the words of Confucius? This makes sense, right!?!”
s.h.i.+ Sui said indifferently, “Anyway, I know that Zhou Shuren has never said those words before.”
Bai Wuxia: “…”
He was dumbfounded and he didn’t understand why s.h.i.+ Sui had mentioned that person. He subconsciously asked, “Who is Zhou Shuren?”
In an instant…
The others at the table struggled to contain their laughter.
The live stream became a sea of joy.
–[Hahaha s.h.i.+ Sui is so good at being sarcastic!]
–[Since you’re so eloquent, you should talk more! Where can I buy your book?]
–[Are there really still people who don’t know that Bai Wuxia has been pretending to be an intellectual all these years?]
…
In the midst of the awkward atmosphere, Jun Han excitedly said, “I can answer this question!”
He used the tone of an elementary school student reading aloud, and answered, “Zhou Shuren is the famous literary scholar and ideologist, Lu Xun!!!”
