She took a deep breath and continued:
"From then on, I really buckled down and started learning how to cook. Whatever Lin Xu wanted to eat, I'd go learn it from your grandma and your maternal grandma. If they didn't know, I'd ask the elders back in our hometown, ask the neighbors—wouldn't stop until I learned it… and then I ended up becoming the best cook in the whole family."
Lin Xu was still moved, and only snapped back to reality when he heard the last sentence.
Mom, are you humble-bragging right now?
Shen Jiayue hurriedly piled on the flattery:
"Mom, you're amazing. No wonder Lin Baobao's cooking is so good, turns out he inherited it from you… And my bad cooking, can't blame me, it's all my mom's fault."
Lin Xu said:
"You're already great. You've learned how to make several dishes with the air fryer."
"Oh right, I'm super slick with the air fryer. Tonight I'll make something yummy for Mom. You've gotta help me prep the ingredients though."
