Picking Up An Alpha On Garbage Star - Chapter 34.2

Pei An went along with Xie Yu’s words. “Then, let’s add dishwashing too.”

With two types of hot pot broth and dishwashing as the appearance fee, Xie Yu managed to get Pei An to sing a song.

“Suo Duo, Xi Lai Duo Mi La Fa, La Lai, Duo Xi La Suo Fa Mi Suo, Suo Duo Xi Lai Duo Mi La Fa, La Lai Duo Xi Lai Fa Xi Duo…”

Xie Yu couldn’t help but interrupt, “Pei An, are you fooling me with this?”

Pei An raised three fingers. “I swear I’m not. I just don’t remember the lyrics.”

Xie Yu surrendered, “I believe you…”

Pei An, please don’t look at him with that innocent look. Which alpha could resist?

However, Xie Yu, a smart major general, was momentarily confused. He didn’t stop to think about why Pei An would show such an expression in front of a few people just now.

Xie Yu drove, and Pei An sat in the passenger seat. They headed to the supermarket.

They had been to this supermarket together before. When Xie Yu was first brought back by Pei An, this was the supermarket they visited. Later, Xie Yu accidentally discovered the conversation between Jin Feng’s henchmen and Pei An here, and he also came to buy scent blocking spray from this supermarket.

This time, they were going to buy more scent blocker.

“You wanted to eat two types of hot pot broth, right? Which two do you want?” Xie Yu asked.

“Tonight, it’s just for Lika and the other three, and Li Chengrui and the others. Li Chengrui and the others like the red broth. See if Lika and the others have any other preferred flavors.”

Pei An had explained in the car that they were inviting guests to dinner at home tonight, so they needed to consider everyone’s tastes.

Xie Yu nonchalantly asked, “What other flavors can we cook? I’ve basically only had the red broth and don’t know much about others.”

While on the road, Pei An explained, “I personally prefer the golden broth, and you can drink this one.”

“Then let’s go for the golden broth flavor,” Xie Yu said, not considering Lika and the others. These alphas had been on missions in extremely harsh environments and didn’t have picky eating habits.

Pei An still held a box of beef in his hands. “Xie Yu, are you trying to give me special treatment?”

Xie Yu replied with a righteous tone, “We alphas are quite rugged, no need to be so particular.”

If Lika heard this, she would definitely jump up and argue. She wouldn’t consider herself to be rugged like those alphas.

Pei An curved his lips. “Then I won’t be polite.”

Preparing hot pot mainly required a variety of ingredients. Many ingredients were available at the supermarket, such as thinly sliced beef, fatty beef, bacon, tender beef, pork belly, duck intestines, etc. As long as you brought them home and put them in a container, it would be fine. However, vegetables were a bit troublesome; you had to wash and cut them yourself before placing them on a plate.

Six out of the nine people were alphas with large appetites, so Pei An bought plenty of ingredients. The robot was loaded with ingredients, and after buying them, Pei An also went to the liquor section and grabbed some low-alcohol drinks.

Although the dinner was scheduled for later, everyone arrived early, especially Lika and the others. They specifically went to pick gifts for their first visit, and they weren’t expensive items.

All of them were alphas, so in order to pick a gift for Pei An, they even consulted an omega. After some comparison, they finally chose four not-so-expensive but thoughtful gifts.

Among them, Lika went to the mall and bought a dishwasher for Pei An because she heard that Pei An didn’t have a dishwasher at home. Having a dishwasher would free up his hands.

She didn’t even consider when Pei An had ever washed dishes. He practically had no chance to wash dishes.

Pang Li went conventionally and brought a big gift box of fruits, all fresh fruits, probably aimed at replenishing vitamins.

Fortunately, Pang Li didn’t bring a big gift box of snacks; otherwise, Pei An would have to give the snack box to Xie Yu to deal with.

Ye Xiuzhe presented a potted gentleman orchid, carrying the meaning of virtue, and it wasn’t flowers, so it wouldn’t attract Pei An’s attention and lead to a beating.

Zhu Gayue brought a fragrance gift box, containing information pheromone perfume that could mask one’s pheromone scent and a matching air freshener with the same scent. Placing it in a regular place wouldn’t worry about various pheromone smells lingering, making it suitable for the office.

Pei An welcomed them into his home, but everyone had arrived early, and the dishes were not ready yet. They could only ask them to sit in the living room and wait for a while.

Everyone agreed, but their eyes drifted toward the kitchen. Most of all, they were curious about Xie Yu, who was supposed to be washing and cooking, displaying a virtuous appearance.

“Look at you all, the commander is wearing such a cute apron with a little dog drawn on it,” Lika observed the most carefully. “There are even flowers on it.”

A trace of wisdom flashed in Ye Xiuzhe’s eyes. “I guess that apron was most likely a gift from Mr. Pei to the commander.” Otherwise, it would be hard to explain why the commander would willingly put on such an apron.

Zhu Gayue sighed. “This is an alpha for you. None of them can resist their favorite omega. Even if they want to act willfully and domineeringly, they’ll still end up as stepping stones under their omega’s feet.”

Pang Li said calmly, “Mr. Pei won’t act willfully and domineeringly. Mr. Pei is cooking together with the commander.”

“I actually sense a sense of peaceful years, musical instruments, and harmony between Commander and Mr. Pei.”

Zhu Gayue covered her mouth and laughed exaggeratedly. “If you can speak, go talk to the Commander more.” The Commander definitely likes to hear that.

Not long after, Li Chengrui and the others also arrived, bringing Ye Rui and drinking Luo Sisi.

Li Chengrui and Luo Sisi did not wear the standard white coats today. Upon closer inspection, they couldn’t tell that they were also outstanding figures in their respective fields. Ye Rui came over after finishing work and looked a bit dusty.

“Is everyone here? Let’s start the meal then.” Pei An came out with a plate of meat in one hand and placed it on the dining table and coffee table respectively.

The house was not large enough to accommodate nine people at one table, so they simply set up two tables. Four people sat at the dining table, and five people could sit at the coffee table.

On the dining table was golden soup base, and on the coffee table was red soup base. As someone who liked the taste of golden soup, Pei An sat at the dining table, and wherever Pei An went, Xie Yu followed. Lika and Luo Sisi quickly occupied the other two seats, mainly because both of them wanted to be a bit closer, to hear gossip better.

“Is this table too rich?” Li Chengrui, who spent years in the base canteen, had not eaten hot pot for eight million years. His eyes were practically emitting green light.

“Did Commander make this soup base?” Ye Rui had already put down the fatty beef, blanched it, and picked it up. “It smells really good!”

Pang Li and the others were having hot pot made by Xie Yu for the first time, or rather, they had never seen Xie Yu cook before.

No wonder he could gain Mr. Pei’s favor. This excellent cooking skill could bewitch many young men and women.

Pei An, who always ate gracefully, with elegant movements, left the job of grabbing dishes to Xie Yu. After all, Lika could really eat, and her appetite was like a tornado.

Xie Yu used public chopsticks to pick up dishes for Pei An, and after picking them up, he immediately switched back to his own chopsticks to snatch the dishes from Lika’s chopsticks. Lika stared wide-eyed, seemingly surprised. They didn’t understand Xie Yu well enough before.

But Lika did take good care of Luo Sisi, perhaps because Luo Sisi couldn’t compete with her, being an alpha herself, but looked cute and was a lovely girl next door. She took the initiative to pick dishes for Luo Sisi.

The other table with Ye Rui and the others was much crazier, especially Pang Li, Ye Xiuzhe, and Zhu Gayue, they were going wild.

They usually stayed in space for a long time and could only go to the surface every few months to purchase supplies. Even though they were officers and had a restaurant providing three meals a day, it was a large ship with thousands of people, and there were hundreds of officers. The restaurant mainly provided large pot dishes. The master prepared the ingredients and handed them to the cooking robot. There was no soul in the food. In addition, they traveled in the vast universe. They stored whatever ingredients were easy to keep, and what they could eat easily was hot pot.

“Will they be full tonight?” Pei An had already prepared a lot. Seeing them looking like they hadn’t eaten in eight million years, he couldn’t help but worry. It wouldn’t be right to invite people for a meal and not give them enough to eat.

Xie Yu scooped up a few shrimp balls for Pei An. “Don’t worry. They are just accustomed to competing with each other. After they’re full, they’ll go crazy putting the remaining dishes into other people’s bowls.”

Luo Sisi’s eyes wandered back and forth between Pei An and Xie Yu. This alpha did look good. No wonder Mr. Pei was in such a good mood when he gave him the Starfire Stone.

Lika stared at the pot, watching Xie Yu scoop with a ladle. “Commander, can you scoop a few shrimp balls for me?”

Xie Yu lifted his eyelids and looked at her. “Can’t you scoop them yourself?”

Lika: “…” What can I use to scoop when the ladle is in your hand?

Commander, you’re just a double standard dog! Double standard dog!

Xie Yu scooped up the shrimp balls Lika had been longing for and poured them into Pei An’s bowl. “Don’t you like these?”
