Lu Wenxing was determined to cook for Gu Yanshen, and Gu Yanshen did not object.
What he was thinking in his heart was... wait until Lu Wenxing was busy in the kitchen, then he would go to help, which would fully demonstrate his boyfriend power.
The two of them came to the entrance of the supermarket with their own thoughts.
The supermarket near the villa area only welcomes members. There are people standing on both sides of the automatic door to greet guests. "Hello, please show me your membership card."
Gu Yanshen took out his membership card from his wallet, placed it on the sensor, and the door opened automatically.
"Welcome."
There are many business people coming to consume. After providing door-to-door delivery, there are many customers only on weekends, and there are not many people at other times.
Gu Yanshen pushed a shopping cart and the two of them went straight to the fresh food area.
After picking out the vegetables and fruits, I headed to the seafood area.
Lu Wenxing knew that Gu Yanshen liked to eat shrimp, so he bought a pound of live shrimp and planned to make a boiled shrimp dish.
He likes oil and spicy food, and always stir-fries or stews seafood. But Gu Yanshen is the birthday boy, so Lu Wenxing must follow Gu Yanshen's preferences.
Gu Yanshen's light taste is similar to that of people in City B. Lu Wenxing even video chatted with Lu Xiaofei a few days ago.
It was to ask Lu Xiaofei for advice on the light dishes of City B. Of course, Lu Wenxing took notes, but he hadn't tried it out yet.
Gu Yanshen pushed the cart while Lu Wenxing picked and chose. Looking at Lu Wenxing's back, I seemed to see the daily life after marriage.
Gu Yanshen couldn't help but envy himself after marriage.
Lu Wenxing put the weighed beef into the shopping cart, and Gu Yanshen looked up and asked him, "Do you want to buy some snacks and fruits?"
"OK"
The two pushed the shopping cart up to the second floor. They were busy at work, but also very fulfilled. They also cherished their leisure time and enjoyed themselves.
Whether busy or idle, it is a state of life. They both enjoy it.
Gu Yanshen who loves life is very different from Gu Yanshen who carries the image of an idol in front of the camera, but they are both very attractive.
When they just met, Lu Wenxing felt that Gu Yanshen had a heavy idol image, but after getting to know him, Lu Wenxing found that having an idol image was a good thing.
Because having burdens can motivate you, your words and actions in front of the camera are closely watched, so you should be more cautious. Fans are fans of you, so you should set a good example for them.
Maturity, stability, dedication, love of life, kindness, etc., as long as they are positive, they are attractive qualities. Lu Wenxing did not deny that he was attracted to Gu Yanshen at first because of his superb acting skills.
And Gu Yanshen is keen on helping others.
The first time they met was because Gu Yanshen helped him leave Mango Orange Entertainment. Lu Wenxing also remembered Gu Yanshen's help, and later when they got to know each other better, he also heard other things from Sheng Chao.
Gu Yanshen values talent. Whenever he meets a nobody in the entertainment industry who is hard-working, talented, and has no evil intentions, he will help him whenever he can, even secretly.
It's not that Lu Wenxing couldn't understand, but he was surprised that Gu Yanshen had such a side to him. Later, when he found out that Gu Yanshen was a fan of Zhou Hechen just like him, Lu Wenxing suddenly understood.
As an emperor of both the music and film circles, Zhou Hechen was once known as the "Entertainment Circle's Bole". Because he likes to support newcomers, many well-known directors and screenwriters in the circle, including some veteran artists who later became superstars, have received help from Zhou Hechen when they were little-known.
Gu Yanshen's mother had been helped by Zhou Hechen, which Gu Yanshen also remembered. But Gu Yanshen was different from Zhou Hechen, who accepted others' thanks calmly and generously.
Gu Yanshen is a rather quiet person, he doesn't like to express thanks in a formal manner, so most of the time he helps quietly. Many artists in the circle have been helped by Gu Yanshen without their knowledge.
Song Jiajia and Lu Wenxing have also received help from Gu Yanshen.
In Gu Yanshen's opinion, whether to help or not is his business and has nothing to do with the person being helped, and there is no need for thanks.
"Looking at me like that?"
Gu Yanshen was holding the potato chips and turned around to see Lu Wenxing staring at him without blinking.
"You look good."
Lu Wenxing took the potato chips from his hand, leaned forward and kissed his cheek with a calm expression, as if it was the most normal action.
Gu Yanshen was stunned for a moment. In public, Lu Wenxing would try her best to avoid any close physical contact with him, let alone in a public place like a supermarket.
He looked around and when he saw that there was no one around he breathed a sigh of relief.
"What? I can't kiss you." Lu Wenxing pushed Gu Yanshen to the shelf, "I want the big one."
Gu Yanshen raised his hand and took a bag of potato chips.
"No, I'm just surprised... that you would take the initiative like this."
"Haven't I taken the initiative enough?" Lu Wenxing blinked and asked sincerely.
"Never in public."
Gu Yanshen was telling the truth, but Lu Wenxing could hear some resentment in his words. He approached Gu Yanshen with amusement.
Gu Yanshen lowered his head, thinking that Lu Wenxing would coax him or kiss him again. In the end, Lu Wenxing snatched the potato chips from his hand, and when he came to his senses, he was already standing next to the shopping cart and winked at Gu Yanshen.
Lu Wenxing liked to tease him like this, and it was not the first or second time. If the location was not wrong, he would have pressed Lu Wenxing down and kissed her.
"Go and pay the bill."
"I push."
Gu Yanshen walked forward. As a good boyfriend, no matter what his mood was, he would be the one to push the cart, and Lu Wenxing only had to be responsible for shopping.
"So good."
Lu Wenxing touched his head and continued to tease him.
Gu Yanshen remained calm. He didn't touch Lu Wenxing outside, but once they got in the car, he had the initiative. He wanted to lock the car door and kiss Lu Wenxing until she obeyed.
Gu Yanshen's mood suddenly improved after taking a look at Lu Wenxing, who seemed to know nothing and had a playful look on his face.
Gu Yanshen gripped the handle of the shopping cart with his slender fingers, and Lu Wenxing called him.
"Wait a moment."
"What else do you want to buy?"
Lu Wenxing stuck close to Gu Yanshen, "I don't want to buy anything, I just... want to kiss you."
Gu Yanshen: “!”
Not a kiss on the cheek, but a short, gentle kiss from lip to lip.
Gu Yanshen's eyes widened slightly, and his first reaction was to look around. He felt a slight pain on his lips as Lu Wenxing bit him lightly.
"You're not paying attention when kissing."
Without giving Gu Yanshen a chance to concentrate, Lu Wenxing had already walked several steps away, as if the person who was so affectionate and gentle just now was not him.
Gu Yanshen: "..."
After paying the bill, the two took the elevator to the basement garage.
After getting in the car, Gu Yanshen asked him.
"You just kissed me twice."
Lu Wenxing:?
"In public."
What Gu Yanshen wanted to ask was, did Lu Wenxing kiss him just now because there was no one around, or because... Lu Wenxing had plans to make it public.
“No one saw it.”
"Oh." As expected, Gu Yanshen was slightly disappointed. "Go home directly?"
"Well, it's too cold outside."
Lu Wenxing made three dishes. Although he had never cooked before, Lu Xiaofei taught him how to make simple dishes.
Lu Wenxing chose to make tomato beef soup first.
Lu Wenxing had rarely used a knife, so the onion pieces he cut were uneven in size. It was a bit ugly, but it didn't stop him from continuing.
He put the chopped onions into the pan and fried them. The oil splashed and made a crackling sound, which scared Lu Wenxing so much that he withdrew his hand. Gu Yanshen looked at him with amusement.
"Are you so scared? Otherwise I'll do it."
"No, you go out." Lu Wenxing thought he was in the way, "I just can't get used to it."
Lu Wenxing boldly stir-fried it a few times and poured in the chopped beef. Although he was a little hesitant at the beginning, it really seemed to be done after a few minutes.
Lu Wenxing raised his chin and looked at Gu Yanshen proudly.
"You adapted quite quickly." Gu Yanshen praised him generously.
"That is."
As he spoke, Lu Wenxing poured the fried onions and beef into the stew pot, added boiling water, skimmed off the foam, covered the pot and simmered it slowly.
Lu Wenxing began to cut cabbage, potatoes, tomatoes, and carrots into cubes, which were as ugly as cutting onions. He poured tomatoes into a frying pan and stir-fried them, adding a little tomato sauce, and poured the juice into the stew pot.
Add the potatoes, cabbage and diced carrots that you just cut into the beef soup and stew them together.
He began to prepare the second dish - steamed sea bass.
It is also a very simple home-cooked dish, but it tests your knife skills. The fish cannot be cut through, and the fish skin is slippery, so you have to press it firmly when cutting, otherwise it is easy to slip and cut crookedly.
Gu Yanshen stood aside and watched with fear.
"I'll cut it and help you."
"No need." Lu Wenxing refused again.
"Give your boyfriend some room to maneuver. I'm standing here like a telephone pole."
“Telephone poles can’t talk.”
Gu Yanshen: “…” Are you dissatisfied with him for talking too much?
Apart from a few times when he almost cut the fish body by using too much force, it was not that difficult. The remaining steps of sprinkling salt and pouring cooking wine were very simple. While waiting for the fish to marinate, Lu Wenxing cut the onion, ginger and chili into shreds.
The movements were a bit clumsy, but nothing went wrong, and the sea bass was steamed in the pot.
Lu Wenxing began to prepare the third dish.
Boiled shrimp.
Gu Yanshen was a little surprised, "You really have never cooked?"
Although Lu Wenxing's movements were slow, they were methodical. While the soup was stewing, the second dish was almost ready.
Generally, novices who have never cooked will choose one dish at a time.
“I haven’t done it.” Lu Wenxing said with a smile, “I said I learn quickly.”
“Very impressive.”
Gu Yanshen praised him so much, and Lu Wenxing felt proud but also a little bit like seeking praise.
"I've rehearsed it several times in my mind. What to do first and what to do next. Even though this is my first time cooking, I can't keep our birthday boy waiting too long."
After the sea bass was out of the pot, Lu Wenxing boiled a pot of hot oil, poured soy sauce on the fish, and then poured the hot oil on the fish. It instantly made a sizzling sound and the aroma instantly filled his nose.
“It smells so good.”
"Try it first?" Lu Wenxing's eyes sparkled. Gu Yanshen picked up the chopsticks. Lu Wenxing stared at him as he put the fish into his mouth, expectantly waiting for his feedback.
"How about it?"
Gu Yanshen didn't answer, but picked up a piece of fish and put it to Lu Wenxing's mouth. "Try it yourself."
The fish meat is fresh and tender, with no fishy smell.
“I seem to have a talent for cooking.”
Lu Wenxing's eyes were shining, and Gu Yanshen was afraid that his next sentence would be to learn to be a chef.
The steamed sea bass was a success, so Lu Wenxing started to make the third dish, boiled shrimp.
Cut off the shrimp's whiskers, add cooking wine, green onions and ginger into cold water, then add the shrimp into the hot water. Lu Wenxing continued to cut green onions, ginger, garlic and chili peppers. Lu Xiaofei also taught him how to make the sauce in the video. Lu Wenxing wrote it down one by one, two spoons of vinegar, one spoon of light soy sauce, and one spoon of sesame oil.
The boiled shrimps are served on a plate and the tomato beef soup is ready.
Lu Wenxing gave himself a score of seven for his performance today, "Bring it out."
The three simple dishes were served, the presentation was exquisite, and the appearance, aroma and taste were all good. Lu Wenxing also took a photo, and when he was about to start eating, he suddenly remembered something.
"I...forgot to cook rice."
Gu Yanshen laughed out loud, and Lu Wenxing frowned, "Why didn't you remind me?"
"Don't you think I'm in the way?" Gu Yanshen blinked innocently.
"Let's order takeout. They definitely won't deliver two meals, so why not order other dishes..." Lu Wenxing picked up his phone and clicked on the food delivery platform. Gu Yanshen took his phone away, feeling amused and helpless.
“I cooked it.”
"When did you ..."
“When you were washing the vegetables.”
Gu Yanshen originally planned to wait until Lu Wenxing asked before saying anything, but he didn't expect that Lu Wenxing didn't remember it until the dish was cooked.
As expected, he still had no experience, but when he thought about how Lu Wenxing had learned it specially to celebrate his birthday, Gu Yanshen felt even warmer in his heart.
Lu Wenxing knew that he had never cooked before, so he would not choose dishes that were particularly difficult. After discussing with Lu Xiaofei, he decided to make these three simple and easy-to-learn dishes.
After the meal, Lu Wenxing did not forget to praise himself.
"You said I should open a restaurant in the future..."
"not good."
Gu Yanshen interrupted Lu Wenxing's fantasy. The taste was good, but his eyelids twitched when he saw Lu Wenxing holding a knife. He was afraid that Lu Wenxing would accidentally cut his hand.
"I prefer you holding a paintbrush."
Lu Wenxing didn’t really like cooking, he was just surprised by the results of his first cooking and had the illusion that he was very talented.
The two grown men had big appetites. After finishing three dishes, Lu Wenxing discovered...
"I don't think I'm full yet."
Gu Yanshen: "Me too."
Lu Wenxing: “…”
So the question is, Lu Wenxing only knows how to cook these three dishes, stewing soup or steaming fish, and Lu Xiaofei is precise to the number of minutes, high heat or low heat, and the seasoning is also precise to the number of spoons.
But Lu Xiaofei didn't teach him how to cook other dishes.
"Would you like some boiled beef?"
Lu Wenxing nodded, "Do you want to order takeout?"
"I'll do it for you."
Gu Yanshen stood up and walked into the kitchen. Lu Wenxing followed him curiously. "You can also cook boiled beef."
Gu Yanshen directly answered Lu Wenxing with his actions.
After pouring dried chilies and Sichuan peppercorns into the wok and frying them, Lu Wenxing asked him in confusion, "Don't you need to add oil?"
"Need not."
After stir-frying for a few times, Gu Yanshen poured out the peppers and placed them on the chopping board to cool for a while, then chopped them up with a knife and placed them on a plate for later use.
He took out the beef that Lu Wenxing had not finished cooking and cut it into slices. Unlike Lu Wenxing, Gu Yanshen had good knife skills and cut the slices evenly. He finished cutting in no time.
"You are so skilled, do you cook often?"
“I’ll do it myself when I have time.”
However, the dishes that Gu Yanshen cooks are all relatively healthier, and using too much oil or spicy food is a taboo.
He put on disposable gloves with his slender fingers, put the beef into a bowl, poured in seasoning, egg white and starch, and mixed it all together with his hands.
Looking at Gu Yanshen's skillful movements, Lu Wenxing thought for a moment and asked.
"Are you studious?"
Looking at Lu Wenxing who wanted to learn from him, Gu Yanshen said with a smile, "Try to learn from him."
Although he said so, Gu Yanshen showed him how to make it without telling Lu Wenxing, and he certainly didn't tell Lu Wenxing the seasoning and time required as accurately as Lu Xiaofei did.
He was so fast that Lu Wenxing forgot what he had put in the previous part after he finished reading the latter part.
Looking at Lu Wenxing's slightly confused expression, Gu Yanshen could imagine that Lu Wenxing also spent a lot of time preparing those three dishes for him.
After a while, the spicy aroma wafted through the kitchen. Gu Yanshen added starch to thicken the sauce, and a minute later the boiled beef was ready.
Pour into a large bowl, sprinkle with chili powder, green onion, ginger and garlic, and finally sprinkle with white sesame seeds for garnish. Heat oil in a pan and follow the same last step as steamed fish, pour hot oil on it and the spicy aroma will fill the air.
Lu Wenxing was so hungry that he became hungry.
The shiny and smooth beef slices were wrapped in bright red spicy oil. Lu Wenxing, who loves heavy flavors, couldn't control himself any longer. He picked up the beef slices and put them into his mouth, and immediately felt a burst of happiness.
“So delicious!!!”
Lu Wenxing took another piece of beef, swallowed it and said to Gu Yanshen, "Teacher Gu, please marry me."
"You are so virtuous!"
Lu Wenxing praised him highly, "I didn't expect your cooking to be so delicious, what else can you cook?"
Lu Wenxing ate happily, and Gu Yanshen's mouth corners slightly raised.
Although he had a light taste, he could eat spicy food. He picked up a piece of beef, put it in his mouth, and chewed it slowly.
"I'll make whatever you want to eat."
Lu Wenxing was skeptical, and Gu Yanshen explained.
“Go into the kitchen often, and once you become proficient, you can learn other dishes quickly.”
After the two of them finished eating, Gu Yanshen collected the dishes and put them in the dishwasher, and cleaned the kitchen at the same time.
Lu Wenxing had just moved the gifts from the car in, and when Gu Yanshen came out he saw a huge pile of them.
“Did you empty the gift shop?”
"You can't open it until after you cut the cake tonight."
"Okay, wanna take a nap?"
Lu Wenxing shook his head, and Gu Yanshen thought for a moment and said, "Then I'll take you on a tour?"
"good."
It is a two-and-a-half-story villa with not many rooms, but they are all spacious and bright.
Gu Yanshen took Lu Wenxing to visit the room he lived in. After they went downstairs, Lu Wenxing found a white door next to the stairs.
“Is this door a decoration?”
Gu Yanshen opened the white door and inside the room was a staircase leading to the basement.
“This design is a bit weird.”
Gu Yanshen took him downstairs and said, "The small villa is my parents' wedding house."
Mother Gu likes to drink, so Father Gu specially prepared a little surprise for the two of them. The white door is in the basement, and Father Gu plans to build a wine cellar in the basement specifically for Mother Gu's wine collection.
But after the two got married, the wine cellar was not yet completed. Because it was a small surprise, they could only do it quietly when Gu's mother was not at home. But later, it was never used.
First, there were some problems when renovating the wine cellar, the customized wine cabinet was completed later than scheduled, and even the wine collection encountered problems.
Later, Gu's mother stayed at home during her pregnancy.
The wine cellar was put on hold until Gu Yanshen was born... and when he was two or three years old, the wine cellar was still not completed, and the couple later divorced.
"So you don't plan to build a wine cellar?"
Gu Yanshen shook his head, "My mother rarely comes back to China, and I don't like drinking."
"After my parents divorced, a nanny took care of me. She often locked me in the basement." Gu Yanshen talked about his childhood.
Five-year-old Gu Yanshen was not actually afraid, but he did not complain to his father.
The nanny didn't dare to beat him hard, she just locked him up and starved him.
Gu Yanshen was a man of few words. He didn't say a word or even cry when he was bullied. The nanny thought he was easy to bully and became even more aggressive.
Even though Gu Yanshen was young at the time, Lu Wenxing didn't think that Gu Yanshen would be bullied like this.
"Why don't you tell your parents?"
“I’m waiting for them to find out on their own.”
Young Gu Yanshen was not afraid of the nanny, he was taking revenge on his father, revenge on him for his long-term neglect, and revenge on them for thinking that work was always more important than themselves.
He wanted to see the regret that Gu's father would feel after knowing this, and Gu Yanshen had a little malice in his heart. But he didn't completely want to make Gu's father feel bad, what he really wanted was that Gu's father and mother would spend more time with him.
No matter how precocious Gu Yanshen was, he still longed for his parents' company and love when he was five years old. He thought that this would attract his parents' attention and love.
In fact, he was wrong. After seeing his parents' divorce certificate, he knew that no matter what he did, it would be useless.
In the end, the nanny was sued by Gu's father.
And his parents' love and attention only stayed on him for a week.
They invited a psychologist to examine Gu Yanshen. After learning that he was physically and mentally healthy, his parents returned to their former lives, each busy with their own things and not coming home.
Gu Yanshen didn't seem sad at all, and his tone was normal, as if he was talking about something that had nothing to do with him. Lu Wenxing didn't try to comfort him, because it was already in the past, and for someone as dull as Gu Yanshen to talk about it, it meant that he didn't care.
"What about Xiao Ning? He has such a lively personality... Is he like his mother?"
When Gu Yanning was mentioned, Gu Yanshen curled his lips. "Gu Yanning was born in the year of the monkey."
Lu Wenxing: “…”
Jumping up and down?
In the evening, Lu Wenxing received a delivery call from the cake shop.
"The cake I ordered has arrived, go get it."
Gu Yanshen:?
He thought Lu Wenxing wasn't going to let him do anything today and would even order him to get something.
Are there other surprises?
Gu Yanshen didn't ask any more questions. When Lu Wenxing asked him to go, he went out.
As soon as he left, Lu Wenxing called Xu Rong first.
"I send my Weibo posts on a regular basis, so be prepared, Sister Rong."
Xu Rong knew his plan, and Lu Wenxing reminded her because he was afraid that she would forget.
"When you wake up tomorrow, you will see me on the trending search list. Don't be nervous or panic."
Xu Rong: “…” She was not nervous, not at all.
Who is Lu Wenxing? The young master of the Wen family.
Marketing accounts are just trying to get some attention but it will pass. Who really dares to make comments?
"I get it. No need to remind me to eat dog food again and again."
Xu Rong said that, but she still wished Lu Wenxing the best in her heart.
It was easy for him to lead Wen Xing. He would report to her in advance before doing anything. It was less troublesome for Xu Rong to lead him than Song Jiajia.
Lu Wenxing and Xu Rong laughed and joked for a while.
"Sister Rong, I'm hanging up now. I'm busy preparing other surprises for Teacher Gu."
"Tsk." Xu Rong said disdainfully, "Go quickly and stop feeding me dog food."
After Gu Yanshen came back with the cake, Lu Wenxing sat on the sofa and looked through the photo album. The two of them had dinner as usual, and after cleaning up, they put out the cake.
Lu Wenxing lit a candle and turned off the lights.
"Teacher Gu, make a wish."
"Can a wish come true?"
"Of course. Even if it's not possible, I will definitely help you make it happen."
Gu Yanshen closed his eyes and made his first wish.
"I hope my boyfriend can come out soon... to give me a name."
Lu Wenxing: “…” That’s it?
"There are two more, be serious."
Gu Yanshen: "I am serious."
"My second wish is that Shen Shen and Xing Xing will be together forever."
Gu Yanshen finished speaking and closed his eyes.
"The third wish..."
This was the first time that Gu Yanshen made a sincere wish. He did not say it out loud, but silently said it in his heart -
I hope the first two wishes can come true.
The author has something to say: Lu Xingxing, impressed by Teacher Gu’s cooking skills, said: Teacher Gu, marry me.
