He carefully placed the roses on the table beside him, as if they were rare treasures, and then pulled Gu Qingze to sit at the dining table. "Come and try these dishes. I put a lot of thought into them."
Gu Qingze picked up his chopsticks, picked up a piece of rosy braised pork and put it into his mouth. The meat melted on his tongue, and the sweet flavor spread. "Mm, it's delicious. Your cooking skills are getting better and better."
Chu Lingxiao said without any modesty, "Of course, I am studying very hard. Besides... I can't always have you cooking, Qingze. I also want to share some of the burden with Qingze."
When Gu Qingze heard his words, he pretended to be relieved and said, "Our Lingxiao has really grown up." As he said that, he reached out and gently patted Chu Lingxiao's shoulder.
Chu Lingxiao smiled but said nothing. He just poured another bowl of soup for Gu Qingze and said, "Try it quickly. This is a recipe I researched myself. I stewed it for a long time."
Gu Qingze took the soup and took a sip. "Mm, it tastes very good. I can feel your thoughtfulness in every sip."
Chu Lingxiao looked at him and said with a smile: "Qingze, when you comment, just talk about the taste..."
Before he could finish his words, his hand was suddenly gently held by the other person. The warmth from that hand was like an electric current that instantly spread throughout his body.
Then, he felt something gently fall on his held hand. Looking down, he saw it was a necklace.
This necklace sparkles charmingly under the light. The chain body is as delicate as silk, and the design of the pendant is even more ingenious. A dazzling gem is inlaid on a delicate metal base, surrounded by some tiny diamonds, reflecting colorful light.
Chu Lingxiao's eyes were filled with surprise. He carefully picked up the necklace and examined it carefully, "Qingze, this is..."
Gu Qingze looked at him tenderly, "Of course this is also a Valentine's Day gift. I can't possibly just prepare a bouquet of flowers for you on Valentine's Day, right?"
"This is our first Valentine's Day in this world, so naturally we have to be thoughtful."
"Come, I'll put it on for you."
Gu Qingze gently took the necklace, stood up and walked behind Chu Lingxiao. He brushed the hair off Chu Lingxiao's neck, and his fingers accidentally touched Chu Lingxiao's skin, causing a slight shudder.
He fastened the necklace gently, then whispered in Chu Lingxiao's ear: "Lingxiao, it really suits you." His voice was like the softest feather, gently brushing against Chu Lingxiao's ear.
Chu Lingxiao's face flushed slightly. He reached out and touched the necklace around his neck, then turned to look at Gu Qingze. "Thank you, Qingze. I like it very much."
Gu Qingze sat down in his seat again. Chu Lingxiao suddenly thought of something, stood up and ran into the room. After a while, he came out with an exquisite little box in his hand.
"Qingze, actually I have a gift for you. I wanted to give it to you later, but I think now is a more appropriate time." Chu Lingxiao handed the box to Gu Qingze.
Gu Qingze took the box curiously and opened it slowly. Inside was a custom-made watch.
The dial has unique patterns, the hands sparkle with a cool metallic luster under the light, and the strap is soft and textured.
"Thank you Ling Xiao, I like it very much." Gu Qingze put the watch on his wrist, looked at it carefully for a while, and then said seriously.
Chu Lingxiao smiled happily, "I put a lot of thought into it, I'm glad to see that you like it."
"Did you put a lot of thought into it?" Gu Qingze asked curiously.
"Yeah." Chu Lingxiao nodded. "I specifically searched online for what gifts to give to boys, and most of the answers were watches, sneakers, game consoles, digital products... I carefully selected for a long time, and I still think a watch is the most suitable."
Gu Qingze said seriously: "Ling Xiao is thoughtful."
Chu Lingxiao reminded: "Okay, let's eat first, otherwise it will get cold. After we finish eating, there are also some small pastries that I just learned how to make today."
Gu Qingze nodded and said with a smile, "I'm looking forward to it."
The two ate and chatted. After the meal, Chu Lingxiao stood up to clean up the dishes. Gu Qingze quickly held his hand and said, "You cooked so many dishes today, leave these to me. Didn't we agree that one of us cooks and the other washes the dishes?"
Chu Lingxiao didn't insist any further and said to Gu Qingze with a smile, "Thank you for your hard work."
Gu Qingze quickly put the dishes away in the kitchen. After a while, the sound of running water and the clinking of cutlery could be heard from inside.
When Gu Qingze came out after washing the dishes, Chu Lingxiao couldn't wait to pull him to the sofa in the living room. He took out a plate covered with a tablecloth from under the coffee table and said mysteriously, "Qingze, look, this is the new pastry I learned to make today."
As he spoke, Chu Lingxiao lifted the tablecloth, revealing a plate of exquisitely shaped pastries. Beautiful patterns adorned the pastries, and a faint milky aroma filled his nostrils.
Gu Qingze's eyes lit up, "Wow, Ling Xiao, these pastries look amazing. I feel like they can even be sold individually."
Chu Lingxiao picked up a piece of cake and handed it to Gu Qingze's mouth, "Try it quickly."
Gu Qingze opened his mouth and took a bite. The sweet taste spread in his mouth, like a sweet storm sweeping over him. "Hmm, delicious! But... Lingxiao, you deliberately put double the sugar in it, right?"
Chu Lingxiao smiled happily, "Well, it's specially customized according to your taste. After all, you like sweets."
"Ling Xiao...you are so thoughtful." Gu Qingze praised sincerely.
The two sat on the sofa, enjoying delicious pastries. After finishing the pastries, Chu Lingxiao leaned in Gu Qingze's arms and said softly, "Qingze, let's... watch a movie next. I've already chosen the movie."
