"Hello everyone! I''m Xiaoyun, the mayor of the town..."

    Xiaoyun gave his entire speech for twenty minute, where the crowd clapped and cheered several time during it.

    When the speech was over, the crowd gave a loud applause.

    "Together we''ll create a better future!" As Xiaoyun finished speaking, the clock hits midnight.

    "I hope everyone had enjoy tonight''s events!" Xiaoyun finally put down the microphone as the crowd gave one last applause and cheers.

    Xiaoyun walked toward the backstage then appeared back at the front tables.

    "How was it?" Xiaoyun asked.

    "Pretty good, the crowd seem very motivated and genuine about their future." Yezi replied.

    "That was so cool too!" Nami added as Lily nodded in agreement.

    "It''s certainly impressive." Wuli and Shuli chimed in.

    "What do you three think?" Xiaoyun looked at the three who had been silent the whole time.

    "So so, could do better." Yuqi replied coldly.

    "Yeah, I think it can be improved upon." Yueyue replied coldly as well.

    "What? I though it was very good." Leyan looked confused at the two who seem to be united against Xiaoyun.

    "You wouldn''t think so if you know what he did to both of us. Let''s just say we have been sharing information with each other." Yuqi replied.

    "What?" Leyan looked even more confused.

    "Um, I''m going to go get something eat!" Xiaoyun grab a plate and went to the buffet.

    Both Huayi and Yezi laughed as if something funny had happened.

    "Why you guys laughing?" Leyan asked.

    "The two are upset about something that Xiaoyun did. We just laughing because it funny to see it happen in real life, an real infighting like those drama show." Huayi replied.

    Both Yueyue and Yuqi''s face blushes.

    "Huh?" Leyan seem to understand something, but still a little loss.

    Xiaoyun was back with foods in his plate as he sat back down.

    "Xiaoyun, what did you do to the two of them?" Leyan asked.

    "Um... we can explain it at home." Xiaoyun responded by delaying it.

    "Okay then." Leyan went back to eating her food.

    ---

    As everyone had finished and people started had leaving, some like Yezi and Huayi as well as Shuli and Wuli decided to stay to help with the cleanup.

    Despite Xiaoyun wanting to stay for the cleanup, Yezi and Huayi pushed Xiaoyun out to go back home with rest of them.

    After Xiaoyun got home, Yuqi and Yueyue went to Yuqi''s room and locked their doors.

    After arriving at the kitchen, Xiaoyun started creating the ingredient in his hand.

    "I need to make the dough first, have to be fresh and not handmade..." Xiaoyun thought back to his part time job in high school.

    After preparing for the ingredient and made it all by hand for the entire night, Xiaoyun finally moved onto cooking as the clock hits six.

    "Time to cook the best breakfast in the world!" Xiaoyun started started cooking.

    ---

    Leyan was finally awake as she went to the restroom to freshen herself. Then she walked downstairs toward the kitchen to prepare breakfast.

    "Hm? Who''s there?" Leyan noticed someone already inside the kitchen.

    "I''m cooking breakfast today. Just a nice change of pace for you guys I hope." Xiaoyun has been cooking for a hours nonstop.

    Leyan noticed all the food already on the table.

    "Hmph! You think we will just be brought out by these? I''ll be back later." Leyan walked backstairs.

    After another hour, the clock finally hits eight as everyone woke up, including Leyan.

    "Why does it smell so good?" Nami and Lily was the first to walk downstairs and toward the kitchen.

    "Because a professional chef here is cooking it." Xiaoyun puts the final food onto the plate.

    "Wow! Xiaoyun you really woke up early to cook breakfast? W-what are you trying to do? Bribe someone?" Nami guessed.

    "Um maybe. Don''t start eating yet! Wait for them to come down first." Xiaoyun warned.

    "Okay okay." Nami immediately stopped.

    The three walked down next as they could smell the food coming from the kitchen.

    "Wait mom you are here. Who''s cooking then?" Yuqi noticed Leyan standing behind her.

    "You''ll see." Leyan left a cliffhanger.

    When the three got to the kitchen, they saw all the food on the table.

    "Wow, this reminded me of going for dim sum! I haven''t eat that for so long!" Yueyue excitingly sat down and started eating.

    Leyan along with Nami and Lily excitedly started eating as well.

    "Um, Xiaoyun you cooked this?" Yuqi asked.

    "Yeah, I just want to apologized to you two so this is my first compensation."

    "Hmph! You think us two will be so easily sway by this? It''s just food." Yuqi still haven''t started it as she refused to budge.

    "This is so good! I-I accept your apology as long as you do this everyday!" Yueyue just kept eating as she tried every single one of them.

    "Yueyue! Y-you can''t fall for this so easi——" Yueyue shoved a dumping to Yuqi''s mouth before she can finish.

    "Try it, its super good!" Yueyue replied as she continue eating.

    "Hm! This is so good!" Yuqi started digging in the food.

    Xiaoyun slowly fell asleep watching as the five of them finished all of the food.
