The courtyard of the Shui Lai family is wide, with snow piled on the sides. The houses are connected, mainly made of wood, and the doors are pushed open horizontally. This is the first time that Shen Cheng has seen such a house full of Hongguo characteristics in Hongguo.
"Xiaoyao, long time no see." Looking at Minase Yao who was coming towards him, Chen Cheng said with a smile.
"Mr. Shen, how do you feel about being in Hongguo?" Shui Laiyao's face was filled with uncontrollable joy, and she quickly welcomed Shen Cheng into the house: "It's a pity that my father won't let me go out during this period, otherwise I would have planned to take Mr. Shen for a good stroll."
"I feel okay in Hongguo." After dealing with it, looking at the silent house, Chen Cheng couldn't help but ask: "Is there no one at home?"
Minase Haruka shook her head: "Mom and Dad are busy out. They may come back in the evening, or they may not come back for several days. During this time, I have been staying at home alone. It's so boring..."
"Uh... don't you have any other friends?" Shen Cheng was a little confused.
In fact, judging from Minase Haruka's personality, a girl like this should not have too bad popularity.
"Yes, but they've been confined by their families lately, so we can only chat on our phones..."
As she spoke, Minase Haruka took off her shoes, revealing her small feet wrapped in white socks, and walked into the house while asking, "Mr. Shen, have you had breakfast?"
"I've eaten." Chen Cheng also took off his shoes and walked into the house.
The furniture in the house was normal, not too ancient. Chen Cheng even saw a red "囍" pasted on a window, and the corners of his mouth twitched slightly.
"Oh, okay then..." Minase Haruka's tone seemed a little regretful, and then she sat down at a table: "Then Mr. Shen, please wait for me for a moment. There are many Chinese books in the bookshelf, and there are dad's cigarettes on the coffee table. I'll have breakfast first."
"Hmm..." Chen Cheng looked at the instant food sealed in a plastic bag on the table and frowned slightly: "You eat this in the morning?"
"I've been eating this recently and it tastes very good. Mr. Shen, would you like to try it?" Minase Haruka said with a smile.
Chen Cheng shook his head: "These are not nutritious, let me make you breakfast."
At the same time, Shen Cheng was also a little confused. If the Shui Lai family was really a big family, they wouldn't let this silly girl stay at home alone all the time without arranging someone to take care of her, right?
But this also suited his purpose. Taking care of people? He was good at it!
"Hey?" Minase Yao was stunned for a moment, then quickly waved her hands with a red face and said, "It's okay, no need to trouble Mr. Shen."
While refusing, Minase Haruka couldn't help but swallow her saliva, and then her face turned red.
These days she has been either eating fast food or ordering takeout, and she is indeed a little tired of it.
Chen Cheng laughed dumbly: "It's okay, I haven't cooked for a long time, and my hands are itching, so I just want you to taste my cooking skills. I am still very confident in my cooking skills."
"Well... okay." After hearing what Shen Cheng said, Shui Laiyao stopped being hypocritical and said, "Then Mr. Shen, please stay for dinner tonight. I'll let Mr. Shen taste the dishes I cooked."
"Can you cook?" Shen Cheng was stunned for a moment.
"Well, but I only know how to cook one dish, which I learned from my mother." Minase Haruka said embarrassedly, fiddling with the ends of her hair with her index finger.
Shen Cheng nodded, came to the refrigerator, and asked: "Then let me take a look at your refrigerator."
"Mr. Shen, please feel free to do as you please. There's no need to be so restrained." Shui Laiyao said hurriedly. It seemed that she really didn't want Shen Cheng to be too polite.
Once friends become polite to each other, a gap will arise.
After hearing what Minase Haruka said, Shen Cheng opened the refrigerator.
Hmm… one third of fast food, half of oranges, and the remaining ingredients seem a bit out of place.
Glancing at the time, it was almost noon, and Chen Cheng knew that Minase Yao must have been lazy in bed, eating breakfast at this time.
Well, let's just treat it as lunch.
Taking two tomatoes and three eggs, Shen Cheng planned to make scrambled eggs with tomatoes.
Come to think of it, tomatoes seem to be a luxury in Hong Country.
Thinking of this, Chen Cheng turned his head to look at Minase Yao and said with a smile: "Shall we have scrambled eggs with tomatoes?"
Minase Haruka's eyes lit up: "Okay! Shen Jun, do you want to eat with us?"
"Well, it's time for lunch now." Shen Cheng said.
"Ah?" Minase Haruka was stunned for a moment, then she scratched her head with a chuckle. She hadn't eaten lunch in the past few days.
Taking the ingredients into the kitchen, Minase Haruka didn't plan to sit idle, so she went into the kitchen to help cook.
The cooking process went smoothly. When Chen Cheng first learned Hong Mandarin from Ye Xi, the first thing he did was learn seasonings, so he could recognize the packaging of seasonings in the kitchen at a glance.
Not long after, the fragrant scrambled eggs with tomatoes came out of the pot and were put into a plate by Shen Cheng, which made Shui Laiyao swallow his saliva.
When the dishes were served, Minase Haruka couldn't wait to put the rice on the table, picked up some food and put it in her mouth, then her eyes lit up: "Delicious!"
"Then eat more." Shen Cheng said with a smile.
Come to think of it, Chen Cheng thought that girls from Hongguo like Minase Haruka would usually put their hands together and say "Da Da Ke Ma Si" before meals.
After serving himself a bowl of rice, Shen Cheng picked up the dish and tasted it, nodding. It was not bad. It seemed that his cooking skills had not regressed.
During this meal, Minase Haruka looked like he hadn't eaten for three days. He ate three big bowls of rice. The dishes on the plates were eaten clean by the two of them, and there was not even any soup left.
After eating, Minaseyao rubbed her belly and looked up at the sky, her eyes narrowed, and she looked very satisfied, which reminded Chen Cheng of the kittens in his cat cafe who had finished eating cat food.
Chen Cheng got up, put away the dishes, went into the kitchen to wash them, and then took a look at the bookshelf in Minaseyao's house out of boredom.
After looking around, I found that there were quite a few books from China, such as the "Book of Changes", "Tao Te Ching" and "The Analects of Confucius". Many of them were books that even Shen Cheng couldn't understand, and they were all in Chinese, which made Shen Cheng's face twitch. No wonder Minase Yao's Chinese was so good.
Picking up a copy of "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" that he could read, Chen Cheng flipped through it casually and asked, "Xiaoyao, your Chinese is so good, is there a Chinese person in your family? Or do you simply like China?"
"My mother is Chinese, and I really like China. I hope I can go there to play when I have time." Minase Haruka answered. Because she had just eaten, her tone was a little lazy.
"If you come again, you can come to Mio City. I opened a cat cafe there." Chen Cheng said with a smile.
At the same time, Chen Cheng discovered a bookmark inside the Romance of the Three Kingdoms. He flipped to the page and discovered that it was the story of Guan Yu's defeat at Maicheng and his eventual death. There were wrinkles on the page, as if it had been wet with tears...
