While waiting for the oil to heat up, he turned around and went to the refrigerator to get Xia Wenxi a bottle of water, unscrewed the cap, and handed it to her.

"Thanks."

When cooking, starting a fire is not a particularly busy "job".

Therefore, Xia Wenxi spent most of her time in a daze.

Or rather, watching Lin Shen cook.

Today, Lin Shen wore a black T-shirt and loose jeans.

Her hair was no longer meticulously styled as usual, but instead fell smoothly down, slightly covering her forehead.

They all looked much younger.

The same blue floral apron she wore last night was still tied around her waist.

He was stir-frying shredded potatoes. Seeing the plate of perfectly evenly sized shredded potatoes, Xia Wenxi couldn't help but ask him:

"Lin Shen, have you studied at New Oriental?"

Lin Shen shook his head, a look of confusion flashing across his face. "What is New Oriental?"

Xia Wenxi then realized that this famous school might not even exist in the world.

"Hmm... it's probably a culinary school, I mean your knife skills are exceptional."

Lin Shen calmly added the seasonings while explaining to Xia Wenxi.

"Shredded potatoes are probably the best vegetable I can cut. When I was studying for my master's degree abroad and when I first joined the company, I would cut potatoes when I was under a lot of pressure. From potato chunks at the beginning to shredded potatoes later, it was very stress-relieving."

Lin Shen wasn't a person with many hobbies, and unlike other children, he wasn't raised to be multi-talented when he was young.

All courses unrelated to inheriting the company were considered by the parents to be frivolous and a waste of time.

Later on, he never developed any other refined interests or hobbies.

The only way to de-stress is to cook. It relieves stress without wasting time, since you have to eat eventually anyway.

I used to cook to relieve stress, but now...

It seems to have acquired an even more valuable significance.

"You cut the potato shreds perfectly."

"So now I have a new way to de-stress."

What is it?
