Chapter 71 Chapter 71 Fu Xize dotes on Xin Ai very much.
Xin Ai coaxed people to the end. Moreover, he called people over on New Year's Eve for a reason. He wanted to give his little Fu Shengshi some love. He hooked his arm around Fu Xize's neck and said with a smile, "I'll cook dumplings for you in the evening and show you the cooking skills of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."
Fu Xize was surprised: "Can you cook dumplings?"
It's no wonder that he was surprised. Both he and Xin Ai were new to cooking. Let alone cooking, even something as unskilled as dumplings was impossible for them. They really couldn't do it. They loved eating, but they really couldn't cook.
Xin Ai explained: "It is said that cooking dumplings is not difficult. I learned a little from my aunt. The main thing is...she made the dumplings for me. I just need to boil the water and put the dumplings in to cook."
After a pause, he continued, "My aunt loves me very much. She knew that I was going to cook dumplings for New Year's Eve, so she specially wrapped dumplings for me early this morning, stewed chicken soup, and washed the side dishes before going home for the New Year holiday. I just need to boil some water and it will be OK."
After hearing what Xin Ai said, Fu Xize also felt that this operation was not difficult and that he and Xin Ai could accomplish it.
That's good too.
No one wants famine during the New Year. It sounds unlucky.
Xin Ai had already stood up and took Fu Xize's hand and went to the kitchen.
He planned to cook for his boyfriend and show his good performance to win over his little Fu. Xin Ai was very busy from the final exams to the winter vacation, and inevitably neglected Fu Xize. Fu Xize has been somewhat resentful recently, and from time to time he looks at him with a resentful look, which breaks Xin Ai's heart. I am the man who wanted to pamper Fu Xize all his life, but I actually let my Fu Xize show such a resentful look. It's my fault, and I will reflect on it.
Xin Ai opened the refrigerator, took out the dumplings, opened the plastic bag and threw it into the trash can.
The dumplings were all made today. They were not frozen but refrigerated. The dumplings were neatly arranged in a stainless steel square plate. They were round, white and plump, and every fold was pinched to be pleasing to the eye. These were undoubtedly extremely beautiful dumplings. It was obvious that the person who made the dumplings had good skills and was very attentive.
Xin Ai was quite proud: "Looks good, right? Many of them were made by me. I may not be a good cook, but I am a master craftsman."
Fu Xize also knew that his boyfriend, who graduated from the Fine Arts Academy, was very good at hands-on work. Not only was he good at painting, Xin Ai was also a top-notch sculptor. Sculpture and painting were very different. Sculpture was three-dimensional, while painting was two-dimensional. They were different dimensions. In addition, Xin Ai was also very good at poking felt.
In contrast, making dumplings is very simple.
But you can just feel that he has put a lot of thought into it. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince never cooks, but he can get up early in the morning to make dumplings for you, and then spend New Year's Eve with you and cook dumplings for you.
Fu Xize followed Xin Ai's topic and praised: "It is indeed beautiful."
Xin Ai was smug: "If you want to eat, eat good-looking dumplings."
Then, she started nagging again, "There are dumplings with shrimp, corn, and pure meat. Do you remember the dumplings you took me to eat before? It was autumn then, and the crabs were fat. We ate dumplings with crab roe. Now crabs are not in season, so I didn't make dumplings with crab roe. I will make dumplings with crab roe for you next autumn. I have never cooked before, so I don't know how to cook, but I tried it this morning and found that I am quite talented in making dumplings."
It was Xin Ai’s first time making dumplings, and she was as good as the chef at home. That in itself was a great sense of accomplishment. It turns out that I am also a person with great cooking skills. I am so amazing.
When Fu Xize heard what he said, his eyes were so gentle that they seemed to drip with tears. Xin Ai always said "forever", "later", "next year" with certainty. When you hear him speak like this, you are extremely sure that you will appear in his future.
Ah, why do I feel this way?
Perhaps because she has been neglected by the Crown Prince recently, it is inevitable that she thinks this relationship is just a temporary interest of Xin Ai.
Damn, I'm so insecure.
Fu Xize replied in a gentle voice: "Of course I remember. I didn't think at that time that we would really be together and spend the New Year together."
Xin Ai laughed out loud. At that time, Fu Xize was gentle even when he rejected him. He would take good care of him and take him to eat all kinds of delicious food. Whenever Xin Ai recalled this period, it felt vivid and lively. Some people don't suffer any hardship when pursuing others.
Fu Xize took the plate of dumplings from Xin Ai and said, "Let me do it."
Now it was Xin Ai's turn to be surprised: "You can cook dumplings?"
Fu Xize shook his head, his tone very certain: "No."
Xin Ai exclaimed “Ah?!” and waited for his next words.
Fu Xize said with a smile: "I can find external help."
Xin Ai was stunned.
Fu Xize had already taken out his cell phone from his trouser pocket and called He Fei, turning on the speakerphone, to remotely ask for help from his roommate who was good at cooking to help him cook dumplings.
He Fei was at home with nothing to do on New Year's Eve, so he answered the phone quickly: "Hey, Fu Xize, why are you calling me?"
Fu Xize was not in a hurry to put forward his request. On New Year's Eve, a traditional festival, Fu Xize softened his attitude and sent many wishes to his roommate: "Happy New Year, everything goes well, and your family is healthy."
He Fei smiled softly and replied, "You too, Happy New Year, and may you and the prince always be in love and sweetness."
When Fu Xize received such a blessing, the corners of his lips couldn't help but curl up.
He Fei got straight to the point and said, "Tell me, what's the matter?"
Obviously, she was familiar with Fu Xize's personality. The handsome guy was extremely aloof and would not call to say hello unless necessary.
Fu Xize smiled lightly and explained his purpose: "I plan to cook some dumplings, but I really don't know how to cook. I thought you are a good cook, so I asked you for remote support."
He Fei instantly guessed Fu Xize's thoughts: "Cook for Xin Ai."
Fu Xize said calmly: "What else?"
He Fei laughed: "That's right, people like you would rather starve than cook for yourself."
Xin Ai listened to their conversation and laughed out loud.
Fu Xize can't cook and has never thought about cooking. He has been living alone since junior high school. After so many years, if he was interested in cooking, he could have learned it by himself and wouldn't have to ask for help even to cook dumplings. But he just can't do it and would rather eat out or eat in the cafeteria.
Even in his previous life, Fu Xize maxed out all his skills, but he didn't choose cooking, simply because he was... not interested.
He Fei was not surprised to hear Xin Ai's voice. He had already guessed that Fu Xize was such a love-minded person that he must have made dumplings for Xin Ai on New Year's Eve. Otherwise, who would let a cool guy like Fu Xize cook for him? He smiled and greeted, "Xin Ai is here too."
Fu Xize reminded gently: "I turned on the hands-free."
He Fei understood: "I know, a person with mysophobia like you, how could you possibly use your phone while cooking? You must have turned on the speakerphone and put it aside because you think the phone is dirty."
Fu Xize was helpless. After a semester of living together, his roommate saw through him, but he still complained quietly: "I don't have mysophobia."
He Fei was very perfunctory: "Okay, okay, you don't have mysophobia."
Fu Xize: “…”
When Xin Ai heard He Fei mention her, she generously offered her blessings: "Happy New Year, Happy New Year. May everything go well for you in the new year, and may everything you encounter be joyful."
He Fei was very happy to receive the blessings from the Crown Prince and the Crown Princess during the New Year. He was originally a quiet and introverted person, but now he was also very happy during the New Year: "Happy New Year. I wish you and Fu Xize a happy and healthy new year."
Xin Ai smiled slightly. He never had too many blessings like this. He only wished that he and Fu Xize would be happy and healthy in this life. He chatted casually with He Fei: "How did you spend New Year's Eve there?"
He Fei replied: "We usually... celebrate the Little New Year first, then the Big New Year, and we eat very well. Then we also have a good New Year's Eve dinner on New Year's Eve. Starting from the first day of the New Year, we visit relatives like crazy and attend various wedding banquets."
Then, he asked Xin Ai, "Do you eat dumplings during the Chinese New Year?"
Xin Ai replied: "It depends. If I go back to Tianjin to celebrate the New Year with my grandparents, the food will be very good. But Fu Xize and I are not good cooks, so eating dumplings is simple and suitable for the occasion."
He Fei nodded: "Is that so? Then I must teach Fu Xize how to cook the dumplings. After all, it's Chinese New Year."
Xin Ai also laughed, He Fei was a very interesting person.
He Fei thought to himself, it's Chinese New Year, no more small talk, this cooking tool won't hinder the Crown Prince and Crown Princess from celebrating the New Year sweetly, he went to call Fu Xize, "Let's get started, Fu Xize, what ingredients do you have?"
Fu Xize took a quick look around: "The dumplings are ready-made and wrapped. There is hot chicken soup in the pressure cooker. There are also some vegetables and mushrooms. I don't know what kind of mushrooms they are, but I know they are mushrooms."
He Fei was amused when he heard this. The handsome guy didn't know mushrooms at all. He said, "This has all been prepared in advance. It's very simple. Boil water first. Use two pots to boil it quickly. Use one pot to cook the dumplings and the other pot to boil the mushrooms and vegetables."
Fu Xize went to wash his hands and took a pot to boil water. The kitchen utensils in Xin Ai's house were all commonly used, kept very clean, and of a complete variety. Fu Xize didn't need to wash them, and directly took two pots to boil water.
After the water was boiled, he cooked the dumplings under He Fei's guidance, and used another pot to cook the washed and prepared mushrooms and vegetables.
Xin Ai just stood aside and watched Fu Xize busying around, his mood was incomparably gentle.
His plan today was to cook dumplings for Fu Xize. He wanted to pamper his boyfriend all his life and create wonderful memories of the New Year for Fu Xize.
The result was... he was manipulated by Fu Xize into making the dumplings, and it was Fu Xize who created these wonderful New Year memories for him.
He does it all naturally.
In fact, Fu Xize has always been like this since they started dating, and he dotes on Xin Ai very much.
No matter in the past or present life, Fu Xize is a man who is willing to give everything for him.
