Liu Qi was busying himself in the kitchen, watching three pots at the same time. Inside was both busy and warm, causing him to sweat like there was no tomorrow.

In the meantime, Bai Chuan was acting like the lackey he was and chasing Liu Qi around as he fanned him using a large fan, using a handkerchief to wipe his sweat, and occasionally giving gasps of admiration, "It's been hard on Xiao Qi, Xiao Qi is so capable."

Liu Qi preened under the praise, "It's good that you know."

Holding onto his stomach, Bai Chuan whined, "This is so tiring, I got hungry from all that fanning."

Liu Qi rolled his eyes at Bai Chuan's antics and asked, "What do you still want to eat? Want me to add in another dish of fried prawns?"

Eyes shining brightly in eagerness, Bai Chuan agreed, "Okay!"

Liu Qi waved his hand and demanded, "Get me some prawns."

The foodie acknowledged the command cheerfully and with a shake of his sleeves, a heap of seafood that could be found in the river came out from his sleeves, making pitter-patter sounds when they landed on the floor as they were still alive and jumping around energetically.

Frantically, Liu Qi called out for him to stop so he could use a small basin to pick up the prawns. The remaining fish and crabs were stored in a bamboo basket for their next meal.

The delighted Bai Chuan praised again, "Wifey really knows how to live life."

On the morning of a particular day, Bai Chuan brought out a recipe book. Flipping to the page showing Buddha Jumps Over The Wall, he relentlessly bugged Liu Qi, saying he wanted to eat it.

Liu Qi found it funny to watch him. He thought that if this river god had a tail, then it would long be wagging behind him by now. Thus, he gave in, "I just have to make it for you, right? However, I haven't made this dish before. If it tastes bad, don't blame me."

Bai Chuan was naturally ecstatic and hugged Liu Qi to share his happiness. Feeling him rubbing here and there, Liu Qi slapped the dishonest hand away with a 'pa' and asked with red face, "You want a beating?"

Bai Chuan shook his head in quick succession. "No no."

After he spoke, he read the recipe book and threw out several kinds of fish, crabs, prawns, etc., accordingly. Liu Qi, in the meantime, searched high and low and finally found an unused earthenware jar meant to store alcohol, preparing it so he could use it as a boiling pot.

When night fell, the Buddha Jumps Over The Wall that had been boiling for the whole day released a mellow, rich, yet heavy fragrance. Bai Chuan, in high spirits, anticipatorily circled the pot. Rubbing his hands together, he remarked, "It smells really good ah."

On the other hand, Liu Qi's face was gloomy. After he served a few other dishes onto the table, he said one word indifferently, "Eat."

The foodie pointed at the jar and asked, "What about this?"

Liu Qi's expression was cold as he gave a taciturn reply, "Still needs to stew."

Receiving a weird feeling from Liu Qi, Bai Chuan stared at him for a while before asking, "Xiao Qi doesn't look very happy today."
