I Can Just Endure It

"What the hell???" Seeing this scene, Su Yang was completely dumbfounded.

Zhuang Mengli slammed the table, stood up again, and shouted, "How are you going to explain this time?!"

Su Yang ignored her, still staring at the screen. "Is it really this ridiculous?"

"Hmph, do you believe this is the will of heaven now?"

"I don't."

"You still don't believe it? Three consecutive games, three couples! And they were all given to the two of us, with you getting the male characters and me getting the female ones."

"Coincidence, it's absolutely a coincidence!"

"How could it be so coincidental?" Zhuang Mengli said as she sat down in a huff.

—System? What is going on here?

[Coincidence]

—I knew it, it has to be a coincidence!

Too lazy to dwell on it, the game soon started.

In the third game, Su Yang's side unfortunately lost again. Unconvinced, the two started another match.

Of course, this time they didn't get those couple or husband-and-wife type heroes.

If they had gotten them again, it probably wouldn't be a coincidence anymore.

Time flew by. The two basically spent the whole afternoon huddled in the gaming room playing games.

It was actually quite nice to suddenly play a few rounds after not having played for a long time.

At the end of an unknown number of games, Su Yang's phone rang.

He picked it up, took a look, and answered, "Hello, Pan Pan."

"Qianyu and I are on our way over. You're planning to cook a meal for everyone tonight, right?"

"Yeah."

"Do you need us to buy any groceries? We can pick them up on the way."

"Oh man, if you hadn't mentioned it, I would have completely forgotten about buying groceries. I've been playing games this whole time."

"Playing games? With Mengli?"

'Holy crap? How did she know? Damn it, Old Meng must have let it slip.'

"Uh... yeah, playing LOL with her."

On the other end of the phone, Pan Ning didn't say much else. She continued, "Alright then, do you need us to buy groceries or not?"

"How about this, it's four-thirty now. Are you driving over or?"

"Driving."

"Then when you pass by Qianxiang City later, pull into the parking lot and browse the supermarket first. I'll head out now to meet up with you, and you guys can help me carry the groceries."

"That works. Let's do that for now."

"Okay."

Hanging up the phone, Su Yang stood up and looked at Zhuang Mengli, saying, "No more playing. It's already four-thirty, the others should be arriving soon. I'm going out to buy some groceries now; what we bought yesterday isn't enough."

"Alright, you go ahead. I'll play by myself."

"You still haven't played enough?"

"That last loss was too frustrating, I have to win it back!!"

"Okay, okay, take your time playing. I'm off. Oh, right, don't play anymore after this match. Since I won't be here, when the others arrive, go help them open the door. You probably won't hear them from upstairs."

"I know, I know. Hurry up and go."

"Okay." Su Yang didn't say anything more. He opened the door to the gaming room and walked out.

He went to the shelf by the first-floor entryway specifically used for car keys, grabbed the Bentayga keys, and quickly headed out the door.

Fifteen minutes later, Su Yang drove to their usual spot, the underground parking lot of Qianxiang City.

After parking the car, he took the elevator down to the supermarket on the first basement level.

There were a lot of people in the supermarket at this time. Su Yang took out his phone and dialed Pan Ning's number.

It rang a few times before connecting.

"Hello Pan Pan, where are you guys?"

"You're at the supermarket?"

"I just walked in."

"Oh, oh, we're over by the seafood section."

"Okay, I'll be right there."

Su Yang grabbed a shopping cart and walked toward the seafood section. Soon, he saw two tall, fashionably dressed beauties. It was none other than Pan Ning and Meng Qianyu.

"Brother Su Yang!" Meng Qianyu was the first to spot Su Yang walking over. She immediately ran up with a bright smile to greet him.

"How long have you been here?"

"Not long, we've only been browsing for about ten minutes."

"That's not bad. What are you looking at?"

"Looking at seafood. I want to eat king crab tonight."

"Sure, let's buy some then!" As they spoke, the two walked over to Pan Ning.

Pan Ning was currently holding tongs, picking out crayfish.

Su Yang smiled and said, "These crayfish look pretty good."

"I haven't had them in a long time, so I'm getting some," Pan Ning said while continuing to pick them.

"If you're going to buy some, get a lot. I'll make a few different flavors for you to eat later."

"OK, about how many pounds?"

"There are eleven of us, so at least twenty pounds."

"Twenty pounds?" Pan Ning asked, stunned.

"Yeah, crayfish don't have much meat anyway, so let's just get twenty pounds."

"Alright then."

"Qianyu, don't just stand there. You go buy the king crab, and I'll go buy other things. If we divide the work, it'll be faster."

"Okay, how many should I buy?"

"Buying five should be enough."

"Okay." Meng Qianyu agreed with a smile and walked straight toward the king crab area.

Su Yang pushed his cart to buy the other groceries. Even though he hadn't started cooking tonight's meal yet, he already had a detailed menu in his head.

He planned to make four flavors of crayfish: garlic, spicy, thirteen-spice, and braised.

The king crabs were simple. He would steam two of them, and the rest could be made into drunken crab, steamed egg with crab roe, or cheese-baked crab.

He would buy a bit of other seafood to make a seafood platter and some seafood fried rice.

Then he would whip up some regular home-style dishes, like braised pork belly and spicy diced chicken.

Although these dishes seemed like a lot and quite troublesome, it was a breeze for Su Yang. He just needed to call a couple of people to help with the prep work.

Su Yang moved quickly. It didn't take long for him to buy all the ingredients needed for tonight.

The three of them went to the checkout area to pay. Looking at the large cart piled to the brim in front of Su Yang, Meng Qianyu asked, "With so much bought, can we finish eating it all tonight?"

"I'm not cooking everything. The extra can just go in the fridge."

"Oh, right."

"Let's go, hurry up and pay. The main group should be arriving right about now."

"Okay, let's go. I'll pay." Meng Qianyu trotted forward, rushing to pay the bill.

Su Yang couldn't be bothered to argue with her over this. He smiled and said, "Alright, alright, you pay."

After paying the bill, Su Yang carried the two heaviest bags, while Pan Ning and Meng Qianyu each carried one of the slightly lighter bags.

The three of them quickly reached the parking lot.

Su Yang looked at Pan Ning and asked, "Are you guys driving yourselves or taking my car?"

"We'll drive ourselves, it's not that far anyway."

"Alright then, put the stuff in my car."

After placing the four bags of ingredients into the trunk, Pan Ning and Meng Qianyu got into their Lamborghini Urus.

Su Yang looked at the two of them not far away and shouted, "Follow me."

"Okay."

After saying that, he also got into his own car and started the engine.

The two cars quickly drove out of the parking lot. After a minor traffic jam on the road, thirty-something minutes later, the two cars drove into the courtyard of Su Yang's villa one after the other and parked.

By this time, the main group had all arrived.

Tang Ziyun, Ren Lingxi, and a few others heard the noise and trotted out of the house.

"Su Yang, you're back."

"We're here."

"Do you need us to help with anything?" Tang Ziyun asked.

"There's nothing to help with right now, but later when I'm cooking, I'll need two beautiful ladies to be my assistants."

"Okay, I'll help you!" Tang Ziyun raised her hand with a smile.

Ren Lingxi, standing behind her, also raised her hand. "Count me in too!"

"Great, then it'll be you two."

As he spoke, he pulled the bags out of the trunk.

Pan Ning and Meng Qianyu followed suit, helping to carry the bags into the house.

The living room was incredibly lively at the moment. Liu Bo and Jiang Xiaotang were holding microphones and belting out a song, while Meng Wenzhou and Zhuang Mengli sat on the sofa, plugging their ears with looks of sheer agony on their faces.

Hearing Liu Bo's singing, Su Yang immediately frowned and shouted, "Lao Pang!"

"What's up, Brother Yang?" Liu Bo turned around, flashing his usual harmless-looking smile.

"Uh... never mind, just keep singing. I can bear it, but the rest of you are going to suffer."
