Gourmet: Twins' Father and Chef of the Kindergarten-Chapter 125 - 121: I Would Do Anything for You

Lv Pengfei’s words were like a thunderbolt in a clear sky, catching Bo Shujing completely off guard. Her heart raced, as if it were about to burst out of her chest, rendering her utterly lost and frightened.

The Lv Pengfei in front of her...

That once familiar and gentle face now seemed alien and dangerous, making her heart flutter with anxiety.

She never expected...

Lv Pengfei would resort to such extreme tactics to try to change her mind...

For heaven’s sake!

Pengfei, you’re a grown man!

Still playing these tricks?!

Faced with Lv Pengfei’s radical actions, after the initial fright, she was overwhelmed by a complex mix of disappointment, helplessness, and speechlessness.

To her, such actions were childish and laughable, completely lacking the steadiness and rationality expected of a mature man.

Therefore.

At this moment, Bo Shujing became even more resolute in her decision that Lv Pengfei was not the right choice.

She deeply felt that his habitual use of life-and-death threats was truly terrifying.

This impulsive and extreme behavior made her feel afraid and uneasy. She wasn’t willing to entrust her life to someone with such unstable emotions...

After all, being with such a person was far too risky...

"Pengfei, could you be a bit more mature?"

Bo Shujing took a deep breath, trying to suppress the fear and panic in her heart. Her voice, though carrying a faint tremor and disappointment, was exceptionally firm: "We’re adults now, not kids. Do you think threatening me by jumping into the lake will change my mind? You’re wrong. This only makes me more resolute in my decision."

Lv Pengfei felt challenged, and a trace of dissatisfaction and stubbornness flashed in his eyes.

He resolutely said, "Jingjing, I’m really not threatening you. I just want you to understand that I genuinely like you, and I’m willing to do anything for you, even jump in..."

However.

Bo Shujing ruthlessly interrupted him.

"You jump in..." Bo Shujing’s voice was cold and firm: "That will only prove your childishness and absurdity. Do you think such actions can threaten me? No, they only make me look down on you even more. True love isn’t maintained through threats and entanglement. Why don’t you get it? I’m tired. Please let me go! And let yourself go too!"

These words hit Lv Pengfei’s pride like a heavy hammer.

Thinking she was provoking him on purpose, he didn’t want her to look down on him...

Impulsively...

He stepped over the guardrail by the lake, his body dangling as if he would plunge into the lake at any moment.

This sudden action scared Bo Shujing so much that she covered her eyes and screamed repeatedly.

The surrounding tourists also noticed something unusual happening and gathered around.

"Oh crap, everyone look! Someone’s over the railing there. What’s he trying to do?" a young guy with glasses exclaimed.

"Is he going to jump into the lake? Quickly... call 120!" a young man said nervously, fumbling for his phone.

"Wait, isn’t it 119 for emergencies? We need the fire department to rescue him," a middle-aged man hesitated to say.

"No, no! It should be 110. The police are more suited to handle this," another person quickly corrected, also reaching for their phone to dial.

"What on earth is going on? That young man looks so young; why would he suddenly want to jump into the lake?" a middle-aged woman asked, frowning with concern.

"Come on, everyone, think of a way! Does anyone know him? Can anyone persuade him to come back?" a young girl anxiously looked around, hoping to find someone who knew Lv Pengfei.

...

For a moment,

the tourists strolling by the lake rushed towards Lv Pengfei’s direction.

Lv Pengfei himself was startled by his own impulse. In that instant, he almost lost his balance and fell straight into the deep lake.

He glanced down and a flicker of fear passed through his eyes.

Indeed.

The deepness of the lake sent a shiver down his spine.

"Pengfei, get back here right now!"

Seeing Lv Pengfei taking things seriously, Bo Shujing was so scared her legs turned weak, trembling uncontrollably!

But at the same time, her resolve to break up only strengthened.

"Tell me, why are you so insistent on breaking up with me!"

Unable to swim, standing on the edge of danger, Lv Pengfei was filled with fear, but seeing his girlfriend so nervous, his courage slowly grew.

Over the past three years, Lv Pengfei had given too much to Bo Shujing.

His salary was almost entirely used to satisfy his girlfriend’s needs, both materially and spiritually—he gave it his all.

He obediently followed her every whim, never showing any reluctance or defiance, wholeheartedly protecting this relationship.

He naively thought their love was unbreakable, and had even already planned his proposal, dreaming of a future filled with happiness together with Bo Shujing...

And yet...

She wanted to break up with him!

This was a huge blow for Lv Pengfei.

He worked hard every day and even took on extra jobs at night, all to accumulate more wealth for their future.

He felt he had done well enough, yet she resolutely decided to leave him, to abandon him...

Then, what meaning does his life have?!

"We are not suitable for each other. From the very beginning, it was destined to be a mistake. I’m not young anymore; I can’t pursue love recklessly like when I was young. But you, you can’t even afford a marital home now, how can I have the courage to continue with you?"

Bo Shujing, startled and emotionally shattered, burst into tears like broken beads and shouted at Lv Pengfei.

Lv Pengfei was stunned by the sudden accusations and cries; he widened his eyes, staring at Bo Shujing in disbelief.

But soon, he took a deep breath, trying to calm the turmoil in his heart, and urgently explained, "Jingjing, we can find a way to resolve the house issue. I’m working overtime every day just to buy a house for us as soon as possible. Give me some time; I promise you won’t have to bear such grievances any longer."

"Pengfei, I know you work hard, and I’m grateful for everything you’ve done for me. But we can’t keep going like this. I need someone who can give me a sense of security, someone who can give me hope for the future. Not someone who makes me constantly worry about our lives and our future."

After shouting uncontrollably, Bo Shujing turned to run, but unexpectedly was blocked by incoming tourists.

Some kind-hearted girls stepped forward to comfort Bo Shujing, trying to understand what happened, while some older tourists advised Lv Pengfei.

They could easily see that this was a young couple caught in an emotional entanglement, facing conflicts arising from relationship issues, leading to an incident.

"Young man, whatever problems you two have, you can sit down and talk it out. Never resort to impulsive actions!"

"Yes, young man, we all know you must be feeling very upset right now, and we understand your emotions. But jumping into the lake won’t solve anything and might make things even more complicated."

"Young people, we’ve all been your age—it’s normal to feel heartbroken and find it difficult to accept a breakup. But extreme actions like jumping into the lake won’t save your relationship; it will only intensify the conflict. The right way is to sit down, face the problem calmly, and look for a solution."

But no matter how everyone persuaded, Lv Pengfei just stood outside the railing, unmoving, not allowing anyone to approach.

...

"Sizzle~ Sizzle~ Sizzle~"

The flames lightly licked the skewers of lamb, the fat slowly melting in the heat, turning into golden droplets of oil, which trickled down the grain of the lean meat, adding fullness and juiciness to it.

The excess oil dripped onto the charcoal, sparking wisps of smoke carrying an indescribably enticing aroma, accompanied by the sizzling sound.

In just a moment, the whole skewer of lamb turned a tempting golden under the gentle kiss of the flames.

"Miss Xie, the lamb skewers are ready!"

"Coming! Thank you!"

Xie Jianing responded quickly and ran over excitedly.

She eagerly took the hot lamb skewers and skillfully handed them out to Qingqing, Weiwei, and several other teachers.

Then, the teachers couldn’t wait and began to eat heartily.

Their lady-like images were long forgotten. They brought the skewers to their mouths, pulling them with force so that the whole skewer of lamb slid into their mouths smoothly.

With one bite...

The oil burst in their mouths, and the aroma was intoxicating.

Xie Jianing and the other teachers had satisfied and blissful expressions on their faces.

"Miss Xie, how do I eat this lamb skewer? I don’t know how to eat it." Weiwei looked at the skewer in her hand, looking troubled.

He tried to imitate the teachers’ eating method, but being young and not strong enough, he couldn’t budge the solid skewer of lamb, so he sought help from Xie Jianing.

Qingqing blinked her big eyes and said sweetly, "Miss Xie, I can’t eat it either.

Xie Jianing looked at the two little ones’ embarrassed looks and couldn’t help but laugh.

She smiled and said, "Let me help you. First, bite onto the skewer..."

Hearing this, Qingqing and Weiwei obediently bit onto the lamb.

Xie Jianing held Weiwei’s skewer with one hand and gently pushed her little head with the other, helping her eat the lamb smoothly.

Qingqing also managed to taste the delicious dish with Xie Jianing’s help.

The two kids were happily enjoying their meal.

At this moment!

Xie Jianing’s attention was drawn in the direction of the lake; she saw a crowd gathered over there and curiously furrowed her eyebrows, "What’s going on over there? Why are there so many people?"

Jiang Xinzhuo also showed the same confusion. She moved closer, trying to see what was happening there, "Yeah, why are so many people gathered together?"

Yang Yuxi recalled and suddenly said, "I vaguely heard some arguing over there earlier, it seemed like someone wanted to jump into the lake..."

"Jump into the lake?" Upon hearing this, the other teachers looked surprised.

Xie Jianing’s curiosity was completely piqued. Her eyes lit up, "Why don’t we go over and take a look?"

Jiang Xinzhuo immediately agreed, "Yeah, yeah, I also want to go see."

Although Weiwei didn’t know exactly what jumping into the lake meant, he eagerly raised his hand, "Miss Xie, I want to go too, I want to go too..."

"Alright then, let’s all go take a look..."

Xie Jianing smiled, reached out to pat her little head, nodded, and called Qingqing along.

Then...

The group curiously headed toward the crowd by the lake, wanting to see what was going on.
