Only Xiao Qifeng was thinking: I'm in love.
He exited the chat window, put away his phone, and walked out of the room, arm in arm. In the kitchen, Lu Wanzheng was still leaning against the counter, playing on her phone.
Xiao Qifeng knew what she was doing, snatched the phone, turned it off, and placed it on the dining table along with his own phone. "Aren't you hungry? Can you eat a phone? Go eat."
"Isn't this what I was waiting for you to do together?"
The two sat down facing each other. Lu Wanzheng's stomach had been rumbling for a long time. She couldn't wait to pick up a piece of food with her chopsticks, put it in her mouth, chewed it carefully, and nodded slightly. Although it wasn't as delicious as what she made, it was already very good for a beginner. Borrowing what the netizens had just said, she praised without reservation: "Mr. Xiao has a real talent for cooking."
To express her appreciation, she paused for a moment, poked at the rice with her chopsticks, and added, "These dishes all look beautiful. For example, this shrimp is bright red and looks lovely. And look at this vegetable dish, it's glossy, but it tastes just right."
She was only praising people and was not lying.
Xiao Qifeng didn't rush to pick up his chopsticks. Instead, he watched Lu Wanzheng take a bite first. The moment Lu Wanzheng put the food in her mouth, he held his breath. This was his first time cooking. What if it didn't taste good? Would that be a bad result?
Even after hearing Lu Wanzheng's words, which were clearly excessive praise, he couldn't help but smile.
My girlfriend likes the flowers I give her and the dishes I cook, which means she likes me a lot!
Finally, Lu Wanzheng concluded, "Mr. Xiao's cooking is still very delicious. With a little more practice, he can cook even better."
It must be admitted that Xiao Qifeng truly demonstrated his exceptional talent in cooking. Just think about the first time she cooked, with Aunt Ye guiding her from the sidelines. Aunt Ye recalled afterwards that she was on tenterhooks the whole time, afraid that Lu Wanzheng might accidentally blow up the kitchen. In the end, the food she served was barely presentable and barely edible.
The contrast between her hurried cooking and Xiao Qifeng's methodical approach was striking.
In comparison, she was indeed not as good as Xiao Qifeng in her first attempt at cooking.
Xiao Qifeng noticed Lu Wanzheng's sudden sense of defeat. Although he didn't know why she felt this way, he still said sweetly, "That's all thanks to our Miss Lu's excellent teaching. Without a teacher as good as you, this meal would probably be hard to swallow."
Upon hearing this, Lu Wanzheng's gloom vanished instantly. Indeed, it was definitely because of her excellent teaching. Her cooking was now much better than Aunt Ye's, which was why Xiao Qifeng's first attempt at cooking was better than her first.
That must be it!
Just as she realized this, she heard some rather inappropriate remarks from the side: "Of course, if someone holds my waist next time, I will definitely do better."
Xiao Qifeng looked at Lu Wanzheng with a half-smile.
Lu Wanzheng fell into silence and shock.
How should she respond to that?
She imagined Xiao Qifeng cooking, and she was hugging him from behind the whole time. It felt a little awkward, and why did it feel a little sticky?
Her body trembled slightly uncontrollably, and she finally pretended to be selectively deaf, hypnotizing herself by saying, "I didn't hear it, I didn't hear it."
Xiao Qifeng ate with great elegance, the kind of manner that should have been slow and deliberate, savoring each dish. Yet, he ate very quickly, but not in a haphazard way. In short, it didn't seem out of place at all.
