Chapter 99 I'll Go with You
"Thank you for your support, Mom." Su Liluo leaned close to Mrs. Su and said like a little girl.
"You are at Yanshanting!" Mrs. Su stroked Su Liluo's cheek with a smile.
"Mom, I'll accompany you to have a spa later!" Su Liluo straightened up and said with a bright smile.
"Okay, let's go!" Mrs. Su said with a deeper smile.
…
Throughout the afternoon, Wen Shuzhou, who felt the crisis, kept flashing images of Wen Miao in his mind. He had no intention of staying in the company, so he simply drove back and knocked on Wen Miao's door.
"Wen Miao!"
"Shuzhou? You're back so early today?" Wen Miao looked at Wen Shuzhou at the door in confusion, and glanced at the watch on his wrist. It was just past four quarter.
"Well, there's nothing to do at the company. I met someone I didn't want to see at lunch and didn't eat much. I wanted to eat some braised spare ribs, but I was afraid that it would not be fresh after get off work, so I went to the supermarket and bought it!" Wen Shuzhou said as he lifted the bag in his right hand in front of Wen Miao.
"Come in, you didn't have enough lunch. Here, this is a cushion for you. Go and sit down first. The 'braised spare ribs' will take some time." After entering the house, Wen Miao muttered to himself, soaked the spare ribs in water, opened the refrigerator, and gave Wen Shuzhou a bowl of double skin milk that he had made at noon.
"Delicious." Wen Shuzhou took it, holding the bowl and leaning against the kitchen door naturally, watching Wen Miao washing green onions.
"Why don't we sit over there and eat?" Wen Miao washed the green onions and turned around to look for garlic, only to find that Wen Shuzhou was still there.
"No, I'm bored alone. It's nice to talk to you." Wen Shuzhou scooped a spoonful of double skin milk and rubbed it to the corner of his mouth.
"...like a little kid." Wen Miao looked at Wen Shuzhou and suddenly had the urge to wipe it for him. When his hand slowly rose to the air, he suddenly put it down and pulled the apron hanging on the wall.
"What's wrong?" Wen Shuzhou asked when he saw Wen Miao was behaving strangely.
"Nothing, I'm just thinking about something for tomorrow." Wen Miao suppressed the strangeness that had just surged in his heart and found an excuse.
"What's going on tomorrow? Why are you thinking so intently? Is it difficult to solve? Can I help? Or I can go with you." Wen Shuzhou swallowed a mouthful of double-skin milk and asked Wen Miao several questions in one breath.
"It's not a big deal. I... am an orphan. The old director invites me back to the orphanage to give a speech tomorrow. I don't need any help." Wen Miao paused and told the truth.
"So that's what happened." After a long period of contact, Wen Shuzhou knew more or less about Wen Miao's life experience, but he was afraid of hurting Wen Miao, so he never made it public. But now it was revealed.
In fact, it’s better to expose it!
"Shuzhou, help me lower the colander." Wen Miao suddenly called out to Wen Shuzhou who was thinking.
"Okay." Wen Shuzhou's gaze then fell on the pot on the stove.
Wen Miao took the colander and quickly took out the ribs, put them into the pot with cold water, added cooking wine and ginger and brought them to a boil, skimmed off the foam, took out the ribs again and drained the water, then added rock sugar to the pot and stir-fried until it changed color, then turned the ribs over and stir-fried, added ginger slices, star anise, bay leaves, cinnamon, light soy sauce, dark soy sauce, rice wine, water and scallions.
"Wait a minute. Cook on low heat for thirty minutes. When the sauce is reduced on high heat, add salt and it is ready to be served." Wen Miao explained as he was afraid that Wen Shuzhou could not wait any longer.
"Yeah, okay." Wen Shuzhou finished the last bite of double skin milk and went to the sink to wash the dishes and spoon.
"Oh no, I forgot to cook the rice." While watching Wen Shuzhou washing the dishes, Wen Miao belatedly glanced at the rice cooker not far from the sink.
"Let me stew it, Wen Miao." Wen Shuzhou wiped his hands and went to measure the rice.
The sight of Wen Shuzhou washing rice from behind made Wen Miao feel that Wen Shuzhou had become more and more housekeeping recently.
