Chapter 185 Gu Siyan's Confidence
Finally, Gu Siyan confidently said that he would show off his skills and cook for Jinran. He said that it was a new skill he had learned and that he was already very proficient at it, and that he was always very successful.
Jinran, half-believing and half-doubting, took him home.
On the way, he bought things according to his own cuisine. In the end, Gu Siyan said regretfully, "I can't buy all the things I need. Doesn't this affect my performance?"
Jinran felt that someone at this moment was probably laying the groundwork for their cooking failure.
When they got home, Gu Siyan locked himself in the kitchen, and Jinran heard a crackling sound, like drumming.
She felt that her bowls and plates had probably all perished.
Sure enough, Gu Siyan poked his head out of the kitchen and asked anxiously, "Nini, do you have any spare plates at home?"
Jinran sighed, then went back to her room, found some antique plates and bowls in her space, and handed them to Gu Siyan.
He earnestly instructed, "These are all the plates and bowls I have at home. If you can't make them, don't force yourself. I'll do it."
Gu Siyan gave Jinran a reassuring look and shamelessly said, "Just wait and enjoy the fruits of your labor!"
Jinran thought, "How can I be at ease? Just based on the sound of the explosion?"
Two hours later,
Gu Siyan brought out his success story and invited Jinran to try it.
Jinran stared at the appalling dish before her. Tomatoes and eggs were clearly visible, along with the ingredients. And then there was the candied sweet potato—it was just sweet potato mixed with sugar.
Finally, there was pork rib soup, with the ribs still slightly bloody.
Jinran said, "Actually, breaking up isn't that painful. Why not be more decisive?"
Gu Siyan also felt a little embarrassed, so he touched his nose and assured him, "I'm learning, I'll definitely learn, and then I'll make it for you."
Jinran felt she shouldn't discourage her child, so she encouraged her by saying, "I believe you can do it, and you'll do even better next time."
Gu Siyan looked at Jinran with hopeful eyes: "Why don't you try it?"
Jinran firmly refused, "Although I love you very much, I don't love you enough to take action for it."
Gu Siyan: "..............." Indeed, love will gradually fade away.
In the end, Jinran cooked noodles, and the two of them finally filled their stomachs. Gu Siyan kept glancing at the food he had prepared.
Jinran comforted her, "How about I modify it tomorrow and then eat it all?"
Gu Siyan nodded happily.
Jinran laughed too, "Silly kids are so easy to fool. This stuff will still taste terrible no matter how you change it. The base flavor is what it is!"
In the evening, Jinran took the dishes to her space and let the five little ones try them.
The five little ones looked at it with disdain, indicating that even a dog wouldn't eat it.
Jinran was relieved; it wouldn't be a pity to throw it away like this.
The Lantern Festival was fast approaching, and school was about to start. Gu Siyan invited Jinran to the Gu family home for the Lantern Festival, but Jinran didn't really want to go. She said she wanted to stay home and sleep in, since she wouldn't have the chance once school started.
Gu Siyan tried to persuade Jinran several times, but she did not change her mind.
He couldn't leave his whole family to be with his girlfriend, and was a little unhappy for a moment. Jinran comforted him, "You've been so clingy with me lately, it's getting a bit annoying. If we keep a little distance, I might even miss you! Don't you think it's worth it?"
Gu Siyan said, "This way of comforting me is really unique!"
In the end, Jinran was able to stay at home as she wished and spend the fifteenth day of the lunar month in peace.
She first called her father early in the morning to inquire about the family.
Mr. Shen was very happy on the other end of the phone and asked Jinran how she planned to spend the fifteenth day of the lunar month. Jinran said she didn't want to go to the Gu family and just wanted to stay home and sleep in peace for a while.
Mr. Shen was so heartbroken he almost cried. "Will my Nini be home alone all by herself? She's so pitiful. It's like my heart is being ripped out."
The little girl comforted him, "Dad, every time you cry, it's worth 50 cents in phone bills. Have you ever thought that your tears are worth so much?"
Mr. Shen stopped abruptly, gave some final instructions, and then quickly hung up the phone.
Jinran plans to disguise herself today and then clear out the stock in her space; it would be a shame not to make money during the holiday.
