Although she did miss He Beichen, it wasn't to the point where she couldn't even eat or drink...
At this moment, Li Xin simply wanted to weld Sanmao's mouth shut!
He Beichen looked at her with a faint smile in his eyes, which made Li Xin feel a little embarrassed.
"You still have to eat even when I'm not at home." He Beichen now really thinks that his young wife is adorable in every way.
"I did eat it, it's not as serious as Sanmao said..."
"oh?"
"You, you should go to sleep first and have a good rest." Li Xin pulled He Beichen and pushed him into the second bedroom.
She turned around and ordered, "Sanmao, go get your brother some clean clothes."
The bed in the second bedroom was also made. He Beichen hadn't taken a shower yet, and Li Xin didn't want to dirty the bed in the master bedroom, so she let him take a short rest in the second bedroom first, and then go back to the master bedroom after he had washed up in the evening.
He Beichen was indeed tired. After changing into clean clothes, he lay down in the second bedroom.
"Xinxin, why don't you take a nap too?" He Beichen looked at Li Xin, wanting her to accompany him.
"I slept well last night. I won't be able to sleep tonight if I sleep any more." Li Xin shook his head, but still sat down beside the bed and accompanied him to sleep.
He Beichen was really tired. He had been tense for more than ten days, but he was not really an iron man. Now that he was back in his familiar home, sleepiness quickly came over him.
After He Beichen fell asleep, Li Xin left the second bedroom and gently closed the door.
"Master, big brother is back. Can I make him a big meal?" As soon as Sanmao saw her come out, he immediately came over and asked.
It was still thinking about the big meal it had promised to make for He Beichen, and now it came to ask her for the ingredients.
"certainly."
Li Xin took out a lot of ingredients from the space and asked Sanmao to prepare a sumptuous meal.
Because Sanmao couldn't go out, the dinner prepared a few days ago was spoiled. Although Sanmao put it in a bag and sealed it, there was still a foul smell, which was very unpleasant.
Li Xin cleaned up all the garbage in the house and took it downstairs to throw it away.
When they came back, Sanmao took out the freshly washed sheets and quilt covers, and Li Xin took them downstairs to dry them.
Sanmao was preparing a big meal in the kitchen, and Li Xin was reading a book outside for a while. The aroma of food was wafting from the house. Just by smelling it, one could feel that Sanmao's cooking was extraordinary.
"Master, dinner is almost ready. You can go and call big brother to get up and eat." In the evening, Sanmao poked his head out of the kitchen.
Li Xin stood up from the sofa. There was no dish on the table. She still didn't know what Sanmao had cooked. She was not allowed to enter the kitchen, which made it quite mysterious.
"What did you do?"
She glanced towards the kitchen, but was blocked by Sanmao in time, preventing her from seeing inside.
"Stingy!" Li Xin said to Sanmao, then turned and walked into the second bedroom.
He Beichen was still lying on the bed and sleeping. He was really exhausted during this period of time.
Li Xin walked over and still felt distressed when he saw him like this.
As soon as he approached, He Beichen suddenly opened his eyes alertly and his hand subconsciously reached for the gun. After seeing that it was Li Xin, he realized that he had returned home and immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
"Xinxin."
With just a small movement, Li Xin could imagine how He Beichen rested in the mountains and forests. He would be on alert at the slightest sound and didn't dare to sleep too deeply. How could he rest well?
"Sanmao has prepared dinner." Li Xin didn't ask too much, but just walked over and handed He Beichen his clothes. "After dinner, continue to rest."
"I've almost rested. I slept very deeply for a while. I was about to wake up just now, and my consciousness is a little fuzzy." He Beichen pressed his temple and explained to Li Xin.
The two of them talked for a few words before coming out. Li Xin thought that Sanmao hadn't even put out the dishes yet, so he wasn't in a hurry at all.
When he opened the door to the second bedroom, the living room, which had been lit just now, was now pitch black. It was already evening, and Sanmao had drawn the curtains. There were candles on the dining table, which only illuminated the area around the dining table.
"Candlelight dinner... Sanmao, you are really thoughtful." Li Xin was surprised when he saw this scene, and immediately expressed his affirmation to Sanmao.
However, Sanmao didn't get any roses, so she just sprinkled some red paper as decoration, which created a quite romantic atmosphere.
"Hehe~"
Sanmao smiled and played some piano music, which made the scene even more romantic. Even He Beichen, who didn't know what a candlelight dinner was, could feel the romance.
However, there were only two plates on the table and the dishes had not yet arrived.
He Beichen looked at the empty dining table in confusion. After waiting for a while, Sanmao came out with two plates and placed them in front of them.
There was a big plate with a tomato in the middle, which was cut in half. When opened, it was filled with stewed beef with potatoes.
It's very delicate, but it's only a palm-sized tomato, so the amount that can be put in it is limited.
He Beichen found it quite novel, but he didn't understand why it had to be served on two plates.
He looked at Sanmao, waiting for the food behind it, but saw that Sanmao was not moving.
"Is there only one dish for the meal? No rice?" After waiting for a while, He Beichen saw that Sanmao hadn't moved yet, so he couldn't help but ask.
"This is the appetizer. According to Western cuisine, which is the way foreigners eat, it is served one by one. After that, there are starters, main dishes, side dishes, desserts, etc. It's very troublesome." Li Xin hurriedly explained to He Beichen.
Although this is not the way of eating in Yue State, if Sanmao knew that He Beichen had just returned from the border, she probably would not cook a Western meal. In fact, even she did not expect Sanmao to cook Western food.
"Don't bother with that, just take it out and eat it." Li Xin said to Sanmao again.
"Oh..." Li Xin was dumbfounded when Sanmao walked into the kitchen with a wronged look on his face, and then brought out several Chinese dishes including fried eggplant boxes, sweet and sour pork, stewed local chicken, etc.
So the appetizer is Western food, but the core is still Chinese food?
"Didn't you two just make up? I wanted to give you some sense of ceremony, but you, my master, like Chinese food more, so I just wanted to have a ceremony." Sanmao felt so wronged. He just wanted to have a ceremony, but it didn't work out.
"Uh..." Li Xin was also a little embarrassed. She had just confidently told He Beichen that this was Western food, but she didn't expect to be slapped in the face so quickly.
"Reconcile? Did we have a fight?" He Beichen noticed Sanmao's choice of words and his attention was obviously diverted.
"Sanmao didn't know you were on a mission, so he just made a wild guess since you weren't home."
Li Xin was helpless, feeling that the direction of this dinner, from the moment she broke the sense of ritual, gradually took a strange turn, not romantic at all.
"Turn on the light." Li Xin sighed.
"This is good. When I was a kid, the voltage in the housing estate was often unstable and there would be power outages, so we had to eat by candlelight." He Beichen said, his expression still tinged with nostalgia.
As far as I can remember, that was when his parents were still alive.
