Chapter 239 Who Made You Single?

"Good evening, Ernie."

"Good evening, long time no see!"

Kim Taeyeon, who was driven out of the kitchen by Huang Xu, greeted Goo Hara enthusiastically when she saw her just coming out of the bedroom.

As second-generation girl groups, they had met each other quite a few times in the past and participated in various variety shows together, so they were quite familiar with each other.

In addition, because of the relationship between Huang Xu and Sunny during this period of time, she did not feel any strangeness at all when she saw Goo Hara.

And don't forget, she just saw that "shocking" scene. Now seeing Goo Hara's blushing face, she suddenly had the idea of ​​teasing her.

So she directly pulled Goo Hara over, walked over and started asking questions.

"Hola, when did you come back?"

"You all"

"."

When Huang Xu finished preparing dinner and walked out of the kitchen and saw this scene, Goo Hara had been teased by Kim Taeyeon's various questions to the point that she lowered her head and dared not look at her anymore.

Compared to Goo Hara who was too shy to look up, Kim Taeyeon's face was filled with a bright smile.

After seeing this situation, Huang Xu looked somewhat helpless. He could only shake his head and shout at the two of them.

"Okay Taeyeon, stop bullying me."

"How could I bully her? I'm just caring about her."

In response to Huang Xu's words, Kim Taeyeon directly said, "I didn't do that. I was just getting close to her." After saying that, she looked at Goo Hara.

"Hola, tell me, am I caring about you?"

"I"

"Okay, stop chatting, and get ready to wash your hands and eat."

Seeing Goo Hara lowering her head and not daring to speak, and Kim Taeyeon who was still bullying her, Huang Xu quickly interrupted their conversation, otherwise Goo Hara would not know how badly she would be bullied.

After hearing Huang Xu's words, Goo Hara seemed to have found a life-saving straw. She quickly stood up and left Kim Taeyeon's side.

Then she looked at Huang Xu with gratitude, and then went into the kitchen with her red face, and said to Sunny who was still inside.

"Unnie, I'm here to help."

"Ugh"

Seeing that the toy she had just got had disappeared, Kim Taeyeon sighed and stood up to help.

But when she walked to Huang Xu, her brain suddenly twitched and she said something to Huang Xu.

"Young man, that's a good investment!"

"????"

After Kim Taeyeon finished speaking, she glanced at Huang Xu's confused expression, giggled, and went into the kitchen to help.

Huang Xu waited until she left before he reacted.

"Am I being teased?"

With the help of Kim Taeyeon and Goo Hara, the seafood dinner that Huang Xu and Sunny had just prepared soon filled the entire table.

The three of them looked at the sumptuous seafood feast, and while their appetites were whetted, they couldn't help but take out their cell phones and started taking pictures.

Huang Xu watched the actions of the three people and heard the clicking sounds that kept ringing in his ears, and waited patiently for them to take pictures.

Although taking photos before meals has just become popular, Huang Xu, as someone who has experienced the afterlife, is no longer surprised by their behavior.

Instead of urging them to hurry up, he used his height advantage and the photography skills he had learned to help them take better-looking and more realistic photos.

But this was just at the beginning. After the three of them finished shooting and were about to select photos to share, they were stopped by Huang Xu.

"Eat first and post later, otherwise the seafood will get cold and won't taste good."

"Oh, okay Oppa."

Goo Hara was the first to respond to Huang Xu's words. She put her phone aside and looked at Huang Xu with anticipation.

As soon as the other party put down her phone, Huang Xu picked up half a cheese baked lobster with a pair of tongs and put it on her plate.

"You should eat more. You've lost a lot of weight during your time in Japan."

"Hey, isn't it because Oppa doesn't cook for me? I can't get used to the food there, that's why I'm like this."

"Okay, then take advantage of the few days you're back to eat more and make up for what you lack."

After comforting Goo Hara, Huang Xu put the remaining half of the lobster on Sunny's plate.

"You too, eat more."

"Ok!"

Sunny responded to Huang Xu's concern with a satisfied smile, and then prepared to enjoy the lobster in front of her.

But when the three of them were so affectionate and the atmosphere was full of warmth, Kim Taeyeon acted like an outsider.

And most importantly, she waited for a long time, and the three of them were ready to eat, but Huang Xu didn't bring her the fragrant baked lobster with cheese.

Seeing this situation, Kim Taeyeon showed a hint of envy in her eyes, then she grinned, stood up with some disappointment, and prepared to pick up a piece and put it on her plate.

Just as I picked up the lobster, a pair of chopsticks suddenly appeared and took it away.

Seeing her lobster being suddenly stolen made Kim Taeyeon completely stunned.

"What? Is there anyone who dares to snatch food from under my chopsticks?"

Then the lobster that had just been snatched away went directly into Huang Xu's plate, which made Kim Taeyeon glare at Huang Xu.

"you"

"These are not for you to eat. What's on the plate is prepared for you."

Huang Xu simply ignored Kim Taeyeon's angry gaze and pushed a plate of steamed seafood platter next to him over.

Looking at the plate pushed over by Huang Xu, Kim Taeyeon's expression suddenly became a little bad.

Not that the food on the plate was bad either.

The plate that Huang Xu pushed over was filled with all kinds of steamed seafood, including the same lobster that was just snatched away, as well as several large shrimps, steamed oysters and scallops.

It can be said that almost all the seafood that Sunny bought today was on the plate pushed over by Huang Xu.

As for why Kim Taeyeon had a bad expression, it was because the seafood on the plate in front of her was steamed.

Huang Xu and his friends ate various cheese baked dishes, steamed dishes with garlic, and stir-fried dishes with typhoon shelter, which were completely different from the steamed seafood in front of her.

This is what made Kim Taeyeon feel her defense was broken.

So she looked at the "bland" steamed seafood in front of her, and then looked at the delicious seafood meals in front of her, as well as Sunny and Goo Hara who were eating happily, and she just felt that it was unfair.

So she looked at Huang Xu with fiery eyes.

"Why?"

"Why?"

"Why can they eat what you cook, but I can only eat this?"

Kim Taeyeon looked at Huang Xu who still had an innocent look on his face, and her anger rose again, so she started complaining to him directly.

Huang Xu glanced at the furious Kim Taeyeon and rolled his eyes at him.

"Why did you say?"

"Isn't it because you want to lose weight?"

"I haven't taken care of you these past few days. Have you been exercising as I asked?"

"And you even secretly ate ramen and pig's trotters in the middle of the night yesterday."

"I"

Listening to Huang Xu's scolding, Kim Taeyeon's anger that had just risen was immediately extinguished by Huang Xu's few words. She lowered her head and dared not look at Huang Xu, and then explained in a low voice.

"That's because I'm really hungry, and the company's diet meals are really not enough to satisfy my hunger."

"That's why I secretly ate a little at night."

"No, I ate it honestly. Didn't you say I could have a cheat meal once in a while? Yesterday was my cheat meal."

While Kim Taeyeon was explaining, she suddenly thought of what Huang Xu had said before. She immediately gained confidence and looked up at Huang Xu again.

"And who said I didn't train according to your requirements? I did it strictly according to your requirements."

"Really?"

Huang Xu watched Kim Taeyeon gradually become tougher, and did not deny it in a hurry. Instead, he looked into her eyes calmly and asked back a question.

When Kim Taeyeon was stared at by Huang Xu, she suddenly felt guilty.

She indeed did not exercise as Huang Xu requested in the past few days.

After all, as the captain of Girls' Generation, she is very busy with her work every day. After coming back, without Huang Xu's supervision, she became a little lazy when exercising.

At the same time, convince yourself that your daytime exercise volume has reached the target and make peace with yourself.

And thinking that Huang Xu has been busy with work these days, busy with the affairs of his franchise company, and Sunny is not living in the dormitory, she probably doesn't know about these things.

So he plucked up his courage again and forced himself to nod to Huang Xu.

"Really, I really wasn't lazy."

"That's what you said, so let's start talking about it one by one."

Seeing Kim Taeyeon's stubborn look, Huang Xu didn't get angry. Instead, he took out his mobile phone, started looking at the contents, and began to scold Kim Taeyeon.

"First of all, let's talk about cheat meals. I told you before that even if it's a cheat meal, you still have to eat high-protein, low-fat foods with a small amount of carbohydrates."

"And the ramen and pork trotters you had last night, tell me which one was up to standard."

"I"

"Let's talk about your exercise. How many sets of strength training did you complete yesterday? And did you do the burpees at the end?"

"I"

"And the day before yesterday, when you went to Busan, after you came back..."

"I was wrong."

Kim Taeyeon saw that Huang Xu really knew her life very well, and started to criticize her one by one, and then she admitted her mistakes directly.

She didn't expect that although Huang Xu was busy with work, he could know her daily life so clearly, which made her feel very surprised.

So she began to admit defeat very humbly, and reached out to take the plate that Huang Xu pushed over. When Huang Xu saw her like this, he nodded in satisfaction, and then pushed a bowl of sauce specially prepared for her over.

"You can eat it with this sauce."

"it is good!"

Looking at the sauce in front of her, Kim Taeyeon first touched it with her chopsticks. After tasting the flavor, her expression immediately looked much better.

After all, with Huang Xu's special sauce and the steamed seafood in front of him, his diet was improved.

At least it's better than those tasteless boiled chicken breasts and those bitter vegetables.

Then he picked up a steamed prawn, peeled off the shell, dipped it in a little sauce, and put it into his mouth.

Feeling the sweetness of the prawns and the slight spiciness of the sauce, I closed my eyes in satisfaction.

"Isn't that right? This is what people eat. What on earth is that fat-reducing meal from my company?"

"And why is Huang Xu's cooking so good? Even the professional chefs in the company can't cook as deliciously as him."

"Oh yeah, he's also a chef, the kind that owns a chain of over a hundred restaurants."

“No wonder you’re so good at cooking.”

As thoughts kept emerging in her mind, the shrimp meat that had just entered her mouth quickly disappeared from her mouth.

When she opened her eyes and was about to peel one, she suddenly felt something strange. When she looked up, she saw three heads lowering quickly.

This made her feel a little confused, and then she prepared to order another prawn.

But while peeling the shrimp shells, she suddenly thought of a problem.

That is, Huang Xu was obviously busy with work and was not keeping an eye on her all the time, so how did he know so much about her life in the past two days?

He knew whether I had done any exercise or had done less exercise, and the most terrifying thing was that when I had secretly eaten something last night, I was the only one who knew about it.

So how did he know that?

Thinking of this, she looked up at Huang Xu again.

"Huang Xu, how did you know that I was lazy during exercise? And how did you know about the midnight snack last night when I was the only one in the dormitory?"

"Ah, this one, guess what."

"Did someone tell on me?"

Kim Taeyeon saw Huang Xu suddenly stuttering, so she continued to express her previous guess, and at the same time shifted her gaze to Sunny's face next to him.

"Sunny, are you the one who betrayed me?"

“Me too, Taeyeon.”

Sunny looked at Kim Taeyeon's sharp gaze and began to explain with a guilty conscience.

But she had just said one sentence when she was interrupted by Kim Taeyeon, who started to continue guessing.

"No, you weren't in the dormitory yesterday, and you didn't know anything about the midnight snack. So that means Tiffany was the one who informed on us as well."

"As for the exercise, since both of you are not here, the only ones left are Jessica and Yuri, but Yuri is unlikely to be there, so does that mean Jessica is also involved?"

At this time, Kim Taeyeon's brain was working at an off-the-charts speed and her IQ had surpassed the previous limit. It only took her a short time to dig out all the people involved in this incident.

Huang Xu and Sunny were also scared to death when they saw Kim Taeyeon's suddenly skyrocketing IQ.

Why is it that Kim Taeyeon's IQ has exploded today?

Wasn't she the silly and easy to fool person before?
How come he suddenly became so sharp and could guess the personnel so accurately.

So the two people who felt a little guilty looked at each other and nodded tacitly. Then Huang Xu spoke directly to Kim Taeyeon.

"Why? Even if they told on you, isn't it for your own good?"

"If you can follow my instructions and do what you are supposed to do, do they still need to tell on me?"

"You should think about your own reasons and don't just blame others."

"You're saying this is all my fault."

Kim Taeyeon listened to Huang Xu's words and pointed at her nose in disbelief.

She never imagined that even though she had exposed them for betraying her, Huang Xu said that they were doing it for his own good and all the mistakes were hers.

So after she finished speaking and was about to start a debate with Huang Xu, Sunny, who was next to Huang Xu, also spoke.

"Ouni, we do this for your health, so don't blame us."

"Think about it, before Huang Xu helped you with your fitness, your body was like this. You felt weak all over and had no energy every day."

"Everyone outside is calling you a paper man."

"Look at you now. You have some muscles. Who dares to call you a paper man now?"

"."

"Yeah, I have muscles now."

Kim Taeyeon, who was brainwashed by Huang Xu and Sunny, did not realize that she was being PUA'd by the two. Instead, after the two finished talking, she carefully compared the differences between now and half a month ago.

I found that it was just as they said. Not only has my health improved a lot, I rarely go hungry now, and most importantly, my mental state is completely different from what it was half a month ago.

So she stretched out her arm, looked at her biceps which were already bulging, nodded in agreement, and then nodded to Huang Xu and Sunny to express her gratitude.

"Thank you. If it weren't for you, I would have problems both physically and mentally."

"Especially you, Huang Xu. If you hadn't urged me to exercise and helped me make so many delicious foods, I wouldn't know what I would be like now."

"."

"Pfft~~"

While Kim Taeyeon was expressing her gratitude to Huang Xu, Goo Hara, who had been watching nearby, could no longer hold back.

She didn't expect that Kim Taeyeon, the captain of Girls' Generation, who always seemed very majestic, was actually fooled by the cooperation of Huang Xu and Sunny.

After seeing the contrast that Kim Taeyeon, who was originally very angry and ready to question the two of them, actually started to thank Huang Xu after just over a minute, he could no longer hold back and laughed out loud.

But when she laughed out loud, she reacted and tried to hold it back, but it was too late now.

When she raised her head, she saw three pairs of eyes staring at her, which made her nervous.

"Uh~~, I, I just choked, you don't have to worry about me, just continue?"

"Oh, yes, yes, yes, let's continue eating. Seafood won't taste good if it gets cold."

Huang Xu's reaction was also very quick at this time. Since she had been interrupted by Goo Hara, she hurriedly invited everyone to eat. She picked up a garlic oyster for Sunny, and then stood up to help Kim Taeyeon peel the steamed lobster in front of her.

"Taeyeon, eat this lobster. It's delicious and satisfying, and it won't make you fat."

"Why are you so nice to me all of a sudden?"

Looking at the snow-white lobster meat that Huang Xu handed to her, although Kim Taeyeon didn't understand what was going on, she instinctively became alert.

"I always feel like you guys are hiding something from me!"

"Or what do you intend for me?"

"How could that be? Isn't this because I care about you and am afraid that you'll be hungry?"

Looking at Kim Taeyeon's vigilant expression, Huang Xu also became a little nervous.

After all, it would be fun if Kim Taeyeon found out that she was being PUAed just now.

Fortunately, Kim Taeyeon was only confused for a moment, then she took the lobster that Huang Xu had just peeled and started to taste it with big mouthfuls.

She hadn't had a good meal during the few days that Huang Xu was busy.

I secretly ate ramen and pig's trotters yesterday, and Huang Xu found out. Now of course I have to make up for it.

Seeing that Kim Taeyeon had returned to normal, Huang Xu and Sunny looked at each other, breathed a sigh of relief, and then relaxed.

However, in order to prevent Kim Taeyeon from recalling the previous question again, Sunny pulled Huang Xu aside to ask him about the opening of the store today.

On the one hand, he was indeed concerned, and on the other hand, it was to divert Kim Taeyeon's attention.

Huang Xu also naturally narrated what happened today. Originally, there was nothing wrong with it, but when he mentioned that Ji Seok Jin insisted on joining the business even though it had just opened today, the three of them showed shocked looks on their faces, and Sunny even complained directly.

"Well, it's something he can do."

"But this also shows that you succeeded again this time. I think you should have a drink to celebrate."

"If you want to celebrate, let's wait a few days. After the franchise is open and everything is settled, we can celebrate properly."

This time, Huang Xu did not agree to Sunny's suggestion of drinking to celebrate, but postponed the matter.

Then he grabbed Sunny and Goo Hara's hands and spoke to them in a heroic manner.

"Although we can't celebrate now, you can think about it first and see if there is anything you want. I'll buy it for you in a few days."

"Okay, then I have to choose carefully."

Sunny didn't bother to be polite with Huang Xu, but agreed directly, then looked at Goo Hara and asked.

"Hola, is there anything you want?"

"No, unnie, I don't want anything, I just want oppa to be with me."

"Ah~~, what should I do if you say that?"

After hearing what Goo Hara said, Sunny also sighed, then pretended to be angry and looked at Goo Hara.

When Goo Hara saw Sunny’s expression, she quickly began to explain.

"Ouni, that's not what I meant. I just..."

"Okay, don't I know you? No need to explain."

"By the way, how long can you rest this time?"

"You can rest for half a month."

"Okay then, I'll let your oppa accompany you for the next few days, okay?"

Sunny looked at Goo Hara with a doting look on her face at this time.

However, this conversation between the three of them made Kim Taeyeon next to them dumbfounded, and then she said to the three of them.

"Wow, is it really okay for you to show off your affection in front of me like this?"

"Hey, who made you single?"

Faced with the complaints from her teammates, Kim Taeyeon could only lower her head unable to refute and concentrate on the seafood platter in front of her.

At this time, Huang Xu suddenly said to Sunny and Gu Hara:
"Why don't you follow me to China?"
