When Chu Wen woke up, it was already past five in the afternoon. The thick curtains blocked out all the light in the room. She was dazed for a moment before she remembered that this was a hotel in Qiongdao.
She had a slight hypoglycemia, which made her grouchy when she woke up. She looked to the right side of the bed and saw that no one was there. She suddenly felt lonely.
only.
After pushing open the bedroom door, the scene in front of her made her mouth drop open slightly.
Hot pot is cooking in the living room.
The nine-grid pot on the induction cooker was boiling, and spicy steam was bubbling out. The happy atmosphere of the world instantly warmed her heart, and the feeling of loneliness disappeared instantly. Instead, she felt an indescribable emotion.
Right now.
Lu Hao was wearing an apron and preparing the food. The white and tender chicken pieces, the fat fish, and other tripe, yellow throat, duck intestines, and cuttlefish were placed on an iced plate and ready to be served, looking extremely tempting.
On the table, there was a huge seafood sashimi platter, including geoduck, lobster, salmon, and apple snails. It was also chilled, with smoke curling up, which looked very appetizing.
As for Zhou Xiaomeng next to her, she was busy washing vegetables, looking like a little family cook.
This picture...
Chu Wen even had the urge to pick up the camera.
It’s so beautiful.
"Awake?"
Hearing the sound of the door opening, Lu Hao took a look and said with a smile.
"Come and help me when you wake up. Go wash the cups. Dinner will be served soon."
"There's still a bottle of wine. Open it and pour it out to wake you up."
Lu Hao ordered her to work without any hesitation.
Chu Wen nodded and began to join the team working on meal preparations.
While pouring the wine, Chu Wen couldn't help but steal a piece of salmon, dipped it in mustard, and quickly stuffed it into her mouth while the two weren't paying attention. The delicious taste exploded in her mouth.
She squinted her eyes happily, like a cat that had successfully stolen some food.
In just that instant, Chu Wen suddenly felt that this kind of life seemed pretty good.
“Dinner is ready!”
We sat around the table, it was almost six in the afternoon, the afterglow of the setting sun poured into the living room through the floor-to-ceiling windows, bringing an inexplicable warmth.
Lu Hao raised his glass.
"Come on, have a drink."
"Celebrate with passion..."
Lu Hao didn't say anything after the celebration. He knew to stop when it was enough and not to be too cocky.
But the meaning is conveyed.
The ancients said that "the river is full of fish, the hens are laying eggs, and the second wife is taking a nap" is the happiest state of life. Although Lu Hao did not take a nap, the three of them together can be considered a perfect life.
If a reporter came to interview me now - Mr. Lu, are you happy?
Lu Hao would definitely answer - I'm so fucking happy.
bite!
The three wine glasses clinked together in the steaming heat of the pot. Lu Hao picked up a glass and drank it all in one gulp, then wiped his mouth.
"This is the most enjoyable drink I've had this year. In life, only food and love are worth living by. I hope you will give me your guidance in the future."
Hearing this, Zhou Xiaomeng's face and eyes turned red.
She had imagined the scene of being together with Lu Hao again many times before, but she never expected it to be in such a lively way.
I drank the wine in the glass in one gulp, my face felt hot and my heart was throbbing subtly.
Chu Wen looked at Lu Hao deeply, took a sip of wine, and wanted to say, "Who dares to teach you?", but when the words came to her lips, she forced herself to hold them back.
"What do you want to say?"
Seeing that she hesitated to speak, Lu Hao asked.
"Happy New Year!"
Chu Wen smiled like a flower.
She was a complete pessimist at heart, and always believed that happiness was a beautiful but fragile thing. Therefore, she felt that the atmosphere at the moment was even more precious, and she would not say anything to spoil the mood.
This meal is truly one that I will remember for the rest of my life.
It was even more memorable than the bowl of noodles Lu Hao had when he first went to the house she rented more than a year ago.
"Come, try this chicken. I picked and chopped it myself."
Lu Hao picked up a piece of meat from the pot, first put one piece into Zhou Xiaomeng's bowl, and then put one piece into Chu Wen's bowl.
“Try this fish again.”
This time, Chu Wen will go first, followed by Zhou Xiaomeng.
A bowl of water is held very evenly.
The ranking is in no particular order.
This was a very childish and at the same time extremely deliberate action, which made Chu Wen laugh and cry. She secretly complained about the scumbag in her heart, but she ate it with great relish.
I've never seen Lu Hao so considerate before.
"You eat too."
Zhou Xiaomeng is the type of gentle and virtuous wife who picks up all kinds of food for Lu Hao and takes care of him meticulously, which makes Chu Wen a little envious.
"Let's switch places."
She picked up the bowl, patted Lu Hao's arm, and moved from sitting face to face with Zhou Xiaomeng to a seat between them.
Lu Hao didn't care.
Hey!
Location or something is not important.
After all, we have to sleep in the same bed.
Does it matter whether you sleep on the left, right, or in the middle?
Smiling and shaking his head, Lu Hao poured himself a glass of wine and drank it.
…
"This shrimp is so delicious. Where are they from? I've never eaten it before..."
"I don't know. I bought it at the dock. I think the fishermen just caught it. Fresh ingredients are delicious."
"How much is one pound?"
"A little over 800 yuan, as long as it tastes good."
"You know that spicy crayfish restaurant behind our school? It closed down. The owner's son was a bad boy. He went online gambling with others and owed hundreds of thousands of dollars to loan sharks. The owner sold the restaurant to pay off his debts. The owner's wife was so angry that she had a heart attack and was hospitalized."
