no-go zone

Lu Lingyue looked at Lu Xiaoxue and Xie Shuangning, both staring at her, and couldn't help but swallow.

If this were before, she, as a male college student, would have easily chosen both.

But now that she had become a little girl, Lu Lingyue had fully realized the terrifying nature of these two women, so she immediately shut the kitchen door, trapping them outside.

"Kitchen is a no-go zone, no one allowed in!"

After closing the door, Lu Lingyue shouted at the two women behind it.

The two women outside weren't about to let it slide. They began protesting loudly.

"Lingyue, a good child wouldn't keep the door closed!"

"Little one, come open the door! Let's cook together!"

Lu Lingyue, without changing her expression, immediately locked the kitchen door, shutting out their voices.

Outside, Lu Xiaoxue and Xie Shuangning tried several times to open the kitchen door but found they couldn't.

Lu Lingyue had cleverly locked the door to avoid them!

The two women, once tense because of Lu Lingyue, quickly became allies and began working together to fight the kitchen door!

Lu Lingyue was fully focused on cooking and ignored the women's attempts to break in. But when she heard a soft chuckle from the outside, she realized her position was compromised!

"Do you think Lingyue doesn't know we have a spare key?"

This was Lu Xiaoxue's devilish voice.

"Ah, keeping a spare key is such a good habit!"

This was Xie Shuangning's soft, shy voice.

Lu Lingyue's hair stood on end. The sound of the key turning in the lock was the most terrifying sound in the world! There was no doubt about it!

"Eh? Why isn't this opening?"

But to her surprise, as the key turned halfway, Lu Xiaoxue's voice sounded confused.

"Did you use the wrong key?"

Xie Shuangning's voice was full of urgency.

But Lu Lingyue's spirits lifted!

They couldn't open it! Yes!

However, just as Lu Lingyue relaxed, the kitchen door was suddenly pushed open!

The two women burst into the kitchen, and immediately, one grabbed each of Lu Lingyue's arms.

"Did you really think the key wouldn't work?"

Lu Xiaoxue chuckled as her breath hit Lu Lingyue's ear, sending a tingling sensation through her.

"Didn't expect little Lingyue to be this cute!"

Xie Shuangning also couldn't help but sigh in admiration.

Trapped with her arms held by the two women, Lu Lingyue, despite wanting to cook, couldn't move her hands!

"So, are you two not planning to eat lunch…?"

Lu Lingyue awkwardly asked, struggling to get a word out.

As soon as the mention of lunch was made, the two women exchanged a glance and automatically let go of her arms.

Lu Xiaoxue tilted her head and said, "It's almost noon, let's cook first. I can help Lingyue."

Xie Shuangning shyly nodded, "Although I don't know how to cook, I can try to help."

Finally freed, Lu Lingyue looked at the clock on the wall and realized it was almost noon. If she did everything alone, it would take a while...

Since the two women were volunteering, she could accept their help!

With a serious look, Lu Lingyue lifted her head and said to them, "But you two need to follow my orders strictly."

Xie Shuangning shyly nodded, her eyes full of admiration and sparkles.

On the other hand, Lu Xiaoxue's blue eyes flashed with a playful smile.

"Wow, Lingyue's so proactive? Giving orders in the kitchen, I wonder if you're like that in the bedroom too?"

Lu Lingyue's face immediately turned red.

As expected!

Lu Xiaoxue, that strange woman, loved to say these odd things!

"Do you know you're my sister… uh, no, my older sister!"

Lu Lingyue was about to call Lu Xiaoxue her sister but quickly realized her current role had changed. Now, Lu Xiaoxue was her older sister!

"What's wrong? Don't you like the older sister type?"

Lu Xiaoxue pretended to look heartbroken, stretching out a fair hand to "wipe away" the nonexistent tears from her face.

"I—I..."

At that moment, Xie Shuangning also looked at Lu Lingyue, her purple eyes filled with urgency, seemingly waiting for Lu Lingyue's response.

With four eyes on her, Lu Lingyue finally surrendered.

She mumbled, "I guess it's fine."

Lu Xiaoxue was about to tease Lu Lingyue some more, but the clever Lu Lingyue didn't give her the chance!

"Okay, okay, if we keep talking, we'll never get lunch. Shuangning, you can help with the vegetables, Xiaoxue... Xiaoxue, you can cut them, and I'll do the cooking. How does that sound?"

Both Lu Xiaoxue and Xie Shuangning nodded in agreement. Xie Shuangning even rolled up her sleeves, ready to dive into the work.

Seeing the two women getting to work, Lu Lingyue felt proud of her well-thought-out plan.

Now, the efficiency of cooking would definitely improve! If all went well, in half an hour, they would have a delicious meal!

But what Lu Lingyue didn't expect was that her perfect fantasy was shattered in just five minutes.

She realized that the two "sisters" seemed completely clueless about cooking.

More precisely, Lu Lingyue felt that they hadn't stepped foot in a kitchen in their entire lives!

Xie Shuangning, who was supposed to be preparing the vegetables, worked diligently but ended up throwing away all the edible roots, leaving only a bowl full of celery leaves.

"Shuangning, do you like eating celery leaves?"

Lu Lingyue couldn't understand this preference but asked respectfully.

"Eh? Wasn't that right...?"

Xie Shuangning shyly pushed up her frameless glasses, looking confused.

"But the celery I usually eat doesn't look like this..."

Exactly!

Lu Lingyue looked at the discarded roots and felt like crying.

"Those are the parts we usually eat."

Lu Lingyue pointed to the lonely celery roots and couldn't help but speak up.

Xie Shuangning looked like she had just woken up and slightly parted her red lips. "Oh, that's why those look so familiar."

Lu Lingyue took a deep breath.

Well, it was an accident, but she had technically finished preparing the celery.

At least this employee was somewhat qualified!

But when Lu Lingyue turned to look at Lu Xiaoxue, she noticed something even stranger.
