“Oh,roo…rooms?” I tried my best to keep my eyes off her chest, but my brain was not ready to think anything else.

“Shu Yuan, did you forget to take down the rental advertisement?” Summer said behind my back.

Wait, when did she come to the door?

But she was right, I was too happy yesterday and forgot to remove the ad, so it was still on the internet.

Embarrassing.

“Please, I’m a chef, I just got hired by a hotel nearby, and I desperately need a place to live.” The lady was bowing again and again, her anxiety was genuine.

“OK…come in.” I started to think how to turn down her. She looked really nice but Summer was here first and I was a loyal landlord.

“Uh? What’s that smell?” The chef’s eyes became fierce and she suddenly burst an aura of power, like a Kongfu Master who just located the assassin.

The chef hastened to the table and was astonished.

“This…this…” She was struggling with words.

“How is it? Any comments?” Summer looked at her expectantly.

“AHHHHH…” The chef shrieked with arms around her head, “how could you waste food and sauces like this? How can you ruin God’s gift so recklessly!” She looked dangers at me and Summer, like we did something that was anti-human and anti-social.

“Who made this? Tell me, who did it?”

Summer lowered her head, her cheeks was blushing and her eyes tearing.

“I did it…” I plucked up my courage and answered, like a kid, who’s confronted by the teacher, admitting his mistake by rising his hand, timidly but firmly.

“You are a cooking idiot! Watch this!” The chef immediately got in gear, she cleaned up the table like lightning and rushed to the kitchen, completely forgot why she came here.

“Sit tight and wait!”

Hearing her order, two humans and one dog tucked our napkins and sat at the table.

‘Wait, shouldn’t the nasty dog eat his food?’ I thought indignantly.

I heard a happy song of the pans and plates and then the soothing sounds of frying and stewing, just a short while later, the chef ran to our table and placed the first dish:

Mouth watering sweet and sour pork ribs!

My stomach protested, as watching the food was a torture to it. I quickly stuffed a piece of rib in my mouth.

“Ah! It’s heaven…” I was covered in happiness from head to toe. Summer and the dog were savoring the ribs with joy, seemed fully conquered too. But Summer murmured: “ I think it tastes similar to mine…”

Honey Roasted BBQ Pork!

Steamed Tofu with Egg,Chicken and Shrimp!

Stir-Fried Kale!

Cream of Mushroom Soup!

The chef was like a Super Saiyan who got the power cosmic as well as maximum energy, bringing wonderful dishes to the table without a stop.

Hearing all our praises, she eventually stopped and sat at the table.

“Eh…Mr. Landlord? May I stay here?” She looked at me uncertainly, all that super power and fierce aura were gone, she turned back to the shy lady.

“You changed fast.”

“I got into that state whenever I start cooking, that’s why my last job did not work out…so I found another hotel, and I’m going to work there tomorrow…”

Summer and Weird Unkie raised their hands before I opened my mouth.

“Yes, OK, you can stay if you could cook sometimes…” I said uncertainly.

“Thanks a lot!” I’ll do all the cooking and cleaning on my off days! And, call me Ye please.”

She said thankfully when shaking my hand.

So on the second day after mother left, my harem, no…my house was lit up by my second tenant, a lady who’s good at cooking and we call her Ye.
