Chu Lingxiao has always had a rather indifferent impression of bitter melon. He can’t say that he hates it, but he definitely can’t say that he likes it either.
To him, bitter melon is just like the ordinary things in life. He will not pursue it deliberately, but he will not avoid it deliberately either.
Gu Qingze, on the other hand, "hates" bitter melon so much that he won't even touch it.
In fact, bitter melon has many benefits.
From a nutritional point of view, bitter melon is rich in vitamin C. Every 100 grams of bitter melon contains about 56 to 145 mg of vitamin C, which is a relatively high content among vegetables.
Vitamin C can effectively enhance human immunity and promote the synthesis of collagen.
At the same time, bitter melon is also rich in momordica charantia. This unique ingredient can regulate the body's blood sugar. Eating bitter melon in moderation can help control blood sugar levels and maintain a healthy balance in the body.
From the perspective of traditional Chinese medicine, bitter melon is cold in nature and bitter in taste, and has the magical effect of clearing away heat and relieving summer heat.
In the hot summer, it can help people remove the heat from the body and relieve the fever, thirst and other discomfort symptoms caused by heatstroke.
It’s just that...likes and dislikes are often inexplicable and unreasonable.
If you don’t like something, you don’t like it. You can’t force it.
Despite the many benefits of bitter melon, Gu Qingze still has no interest in it.
However, adhering to the principle of not wasting food, Gu Qingze decided to cook himself and make a plate of stir-fried bitter melon and meat.
As for why Gu Qingze was the chef, it was because his cooking skills were better.
What if you can use your superb cooking skills to turn something ordinary into something magical?
Maybe I can make bitter melon delicious so that Gu Qingze can accept it.
Unfortunately...reality is often cruel.
Even if a person with great cooking skills cooks it, bitter melon will still be bitter melon and still have that unique bitter taste.
After Gu Qingze finished cooking carefully, he looked at the bitter melon and pork stir-fry on the plate, which had an attractive color but still a bitter taste, and a sense of helplessness welled up in his heart.
He turned to look at Chu Lingxiao who was eating beside him, and saw Chu Lingxiao picked up a piece of bitter melon and put it into his mouth with an expressionless face, as if it was not bitter melon, but a delicious delicacy.
Gu Qingze looked at the plate of bitter melon again, and as if he had made up his mind, he resolutely went to the kitchen to get a pair of chopsticks.
He carefully picked up a small piece of bitter melon and tried it with his eyes closed.
In less than a moment, the bitter taste spread in his mouth. Gu Qingze couldn't stand it anymore and quickly found a trash can to spit it out.
Gu Qingze stuck out half of his tongue and complained with a look of grievance, "It's so bitter... Ling Xiao, how could you eat it so expressionlessly?"
Fortunately, Chu Lingxiao had foresight. He quickly took out a piece of candy from his pocket and handed it to Gu Qingze: "Here, have a piece of candy to relieve the bitterness."
Gu Qingze took the candy and put it in his mouth. The sweet taste gradually spread in his mouth, alleviating some of the bitterness.
But the remaining bitterness still spread in his mouth, making him feel uncomfortable.
Gu Qingze said with a sad face: "It's still so hard."
Chu Lingxiao sighed helplessly, his heart full of doting on Gu Qingze.
He slowly approached Gu Qingze and kissed him, hoping to give him some comfort.
However, this time, Gu Qingze pushed him away.
"Ling Xiao, you just ate bitter melon, and after kissing me, my mouth tasted even more bitter."
Chu Lingxiao spread his hands, his eyes filled with a hint of ridicule and emotion: "It seems that there is always a gap between reality and reality. I thought that after the kiss, Qingze would be so sweet that he would forget the bitterness."
After he sighed, he conjured up a second piece of candy as if by magic: "It's still more reliable to eat candy to relieve the bitterness."
.................
Ever since Chu Lingxiao learned how to shop online, it felt like a whole new door had opened up for him.
He happily browses major shopping platforms every day to buy various couple outfits.
Gu Qingze adapted well to Chu Lingxiao's hobby. He could feel Chu Lingxiao's love and care, so he gladly accepted the sweetness brought by these couple outfits.
However, Chu Lingxiao seemed particularly keen on having Gu Qingze wear cuter clothes.
Those clothes are often printed with cute cartoon patterns or have playful designs.
Whenever Gu Qingze asked Chu Lingxiao why he always chose this style, Chu Lingxiao always smiled and said that it suited him better....
Every time they walked down the street together wearing those cute couple outfits, Gu Qingze always felt that they would attract a lot of strange looks.
Although Gu Qingze felt somewhat uncomfortable, when he saw Ling Xiao's satisfied look, he couldn't help but feel sorry for him.
He knew that Chu Lingxiao was so keen on letting him wear these cute clothes because he loved him, so how could he bear to refuse?
Once, they went to the supermarket together.
Gu Qingze was wearing a couple's outfit with a cartoon bear pattern, but he felt a little embarrassed. He kept trying to pull the corners of his clothes down, as if that would reduce his presence.
Even without the clothes, his face would be eye-catching enough.
The people around him looked at him from time to time, and Gu Qingze's ears gradually turned red.
"Ling Xiao, can you please not buy such cute clothes next time?" Gu Qingze protested in a low voice.
Chu Lingxiao blinked and said with a smile: "No, Qingze, you look so good in it, you should wear more."
