219: Zoe, you actually blushed

Kim Jennie saw that Park Chaeyoung and the other two had already started eating, so she silently picked up the garlic sprouts she had thrown on the floor.

Just as she was about to cut them, she realized she didn't know how, so she looked at Xu Zhiyou: "Zoe, how should I cut these garlic sprouts?"

"It's not for guests, so cut them however you like, it's up to you."

"Alright then."

The five of them started bustling, some cutting, some stir-frying. Due to the abundant ingredients, they also prepared lunch for more than a dozen staff members.

Half an hour later, the staff looked at the colorful, fragrant, and delicious Chinese food on the dining table.

They then looked at Xu Zhiyou, and finally Kwon Sang-woo couldn't help but ask, "Zoe, you can cook too?"

Xu Zhiyou knew in her heart that she could never replicate her mother's cooking: "It's just edible, that's all."

She looked at the batter Kim Jennie and the others had made, then at the Chinese food on the table: "Hmm! At least it looks good."

Kim Jennie noticed their actions, and her small face instantly turned flushed. She darted over and gathered up her pile of discarded ingredients.

She then argued, "We're waiting for it to ferment; we haven't started cooking yet."

"Aish!" Kim Ji-soo massaged her forehead, glancing at her. "Jennie, why are you explaining this?"

"Aniyo, I... I just..."

"Let's eat first, we can talk later, okay?" Park Chaeyoung watched, drooling.

"Dig in, we'll chat later." Xu Zhiyou sat down and started eating. "Eat quickly, then you guys go shopping."

"Us?" Kim Ji-soo looked up at her. "Aren't you going?"

Xu Zhiyou lied without hesitation: "I just calculated, today is suitable for staying at home, not for going out."

Kim Ji-soo rolled her beautiful eyes: "Zoe, you're really something. Your excuses for being lazy are so fresh and unconventional."

"It's alright, the reason isn't important."

"Uh!" Kim Ji-soo felt it was pointless to ask, too lazy to argue with her, and immediately decided, "You must go."

"I'm the leader, if I say I'm not going, I'm not going."

Kim Ji-soo remembered her earlier comment about abdicating to her: "You just passed it to me, now I'm the leader."

"Then I'm revolting and taking it back now." She looked at Park Chaeyoung and the other two. "Raise your hands to vote, who agrees, who doesn't object."

"I don't object!"

Lisa thought for three seconds, then was the first to agree, but was met with looks of disbelief from Kim Jennie and Park Chaeyoung.

Lisa swallowed her food and asked curiously, "Jennie-oni, what are you doing? Why are you looking at me like that?"

"Like an idiot!" Park Chaeyoung looked at her with extreme disdain.

"Yah!" She slammed her chopsticks down and glared at Park Chaeyoung. "I didn't offend you, did I? Why are you talking about me like that?"

"Lisa, with your often-offline IQ, aren't you afraid it'll shut down completely?"

"Your IQ is shut down! I..."

Park Chaeyoung raised her hand to interrupt her: "Stop, stop, stop. It's too much effort to communicate with you."

She looked at Xu Zhiyou: "Zoe, I support Jisoo, you must come with us."

Lisa walked up to Park Chaeyoung and turned her head towards herself: "Explain yourself, what do you mean it's too much effort to communicate with me?"

"Let go." She slapped her hand away and glared at her. "You think you're Zoe, that you can just manipulate me? Hmph!"

"You started it." Lisa glared back; she only feared Xu Zhiyou.

Xu Zhiyou and Kim Ji-soo were busy eating, completely ignoring the two confronting each other. Kim Jennie couldn't help but poke Xu Zhiyou.

"Zoe, they're about to fight, go mediate quickly."

Xu Zhiyou didn't even lift her head, casually pointing at Kim Ji-soo: "She usurped my power, I can't control them."

"Yah! We're filming, can't you... Mmph mmph."

Xu Zhiyou then picked up a chopstick full of shrimp and put it in her mouth: "Delicious, right!"

Kim Jennie gulped it down in a few bites, and just as she was about to speak, Xu Zhiyou put another chopstick full in: "If it's good, eat more."

Kim Jennie rolled her eyes. Seeing that it was useless to talk to her, she moved next to Kim Ji-soo: "Jisoo, should we..."

"This tomato beef brisket is delicious, have a bite." Kim Ji-soo also imitated Xu Zhiyou, stuffing Kim Jennie's mouth full.

"Mmph mmph..." Kim Jennie was truly defeated. Sure enough, unreliability was contagious.

"Stop mumbling, just eat quickly." Kim Ji-soo finally couldn't help but explain.

"With Zoe here, we don't need to worry about these things. If something really happens, she'll react faster than anyone. Relax."

"Huh???" Kim Jennie almost forgot about that.

After understanding, she sat back down casually, rolled up her sleeves, and started eating vigorously. Anyway, there was no stage, so she would eat her fill and then lose weight later.

Park Chaeyoung saw the three of them devouring their food and pushed Lisa aside: "We'll talk later, the food is almost gone."

"No!"

"Yah!" Park Chaeyoung glared at her fiercely. "Lisa, if you delay me from eating again, I'll literally tear you apart, believe it or not."

"Uh!" Lisa took a few steps back, feigning terror. "So fierce!"

"Let me give you a hint: think carefully about what Zoe just said, and you'll realize how stupid you are."

After saying that, she picked up a chopstick full of tomato beef brisket and put it in her mouth: "Mashita~" and began to eat ravenously.

Kim Ji-soo saw her eating so much and reminded her: "Chaeyoung, eat less, we still have a collaborative stage."

"This is top-grade Wagyu beef, the fat content isn't that high, and we'll have extra practice later, so I can handle it."

"Alright then, as long as you know what you're doing." Then she looked at Xu Zhiyou. "Zoe, my back injury is healed."

"Oh! Congratulations then." Xu Zhiyou pretended not to know and continued to eat ravenously.

Kim Ji-soo saw her acting like a starving ghost reincarnated and thought she had forgotten, so she said again: "My back injury is healed, didn't you hear me?"

"Didn't I congratulate you? What do you want!" Xu Zhiyou still pretended not to understand.

"Yah!" Kim Ji-soo couldn't take it anymore and directly took away the dish in front of her. "You said you'd give me extra training after my back healed, and now you're pretending not to know."

"My foot." Xu Zhiyou reached out and snatched the dish back. "How could it heal in so few days? Keep resting."

"Yah!"

"Yah, you big-headed ghost. Is this how you set an example as the eldest sister? Full of lies, can you even do it?"

"Aish!" Kim Ji-soo really wanted to give her a punch and finish her off.

"Omo." Xu Zhiyou pointed at the camera, feigning concern. "Show Ge, we're recording. Are you sure you don't want to pretend a little? Aren't you afraid of hurting the group's fans by ripping off the mask like this?"

Kim Ji-soo's mouth twitched. She was truly defeated by her: "I give up, Zoe, can you control that foul mouth of yours? What if the fans take it seriously?"

Xu Zhiyou spread her hands: "We've already ripped off the mask, trying to salvage it now, isn't it a bit late?"

"Yah!" Kim Ji-soo covered her face. "You, who's been at the bottom of acting for ages, are you trying to act now?!"

"Aish, you're the one who's been at the bottom for ages. I was second to last... wait, I've only been second to last for a few months..."

"That's true. Someone who has to treat everyone to a meal just for improving from last place to second to last, what can I expect from you, hmph!"

"Yah! Don't expose people's shortcomings, Show Ge, you're going too far." Xu Zhiyou's old face rarely turned red.

She didn't feel it when she was doing it, but saying it in front of others still felt embarrassing, after all, she also had some face to save.

"Omo omo, Zoe, you can actually blush." Park Chaeyoung seemed to have discovered a new continent.
