Xu Zhiyi noticed that his ears seemed to be a little red, but it was not noticeable because his face was a little dark. Could he be so innocent?
Lu Shiyan's eyes were a little evasive. He snatched the selected dishes from her hand, squatted aside, filled them with water and started to wash them.
Xu Zhiyi glanced at Lu Shiyan, who was keeping his head down and saying nothing. It was still early today. "Have you eaten yet?"
Could Lu Shiyan say he hadn't eaten? After training in the afternoon, he went to the cafeteria. When he didn't see her, he went home and looked for her but couldn't find her. Then he went to the gate for a stroll. How else could it be such a coincidence?
He said in a muffled voice:
"No."
Xu Zhiyi smiled, but was very stubborn. He decided to make a simple home-cooked dish today. He took out the prepared cornmeal from the backpack and mixed it with white flour, kneaded it into dough, and put it on the stove to let it rise.
Then I took out the pork belly I bought, cut it into cubes, stir-fried it, added the side dishes, and then added the sauce, and simmered them together. After a while, all the ingredients were stimulated by this and began to emit fragrance.
Lu Shiyan also washed all the vegetables and put them aside to dry. Even though he didn't have any requirements for food, Xu Zhiyi had made his appetite picky during this period.
Xu Zhiyi saw that he looked like a big puppy standing next to her, very well behaved. "Why don't you go to the living room, I'll be there soon."
The noodles have been cooked, just pour some cold water on them and they are ready to be served.
"No, I'll take it out."
Seeing that a lot was cooked, it would probably be a bit heavy for her to carry by herself.
If he wants to wait, then let him wait. When the noodles are cooked, Xu Zhiyi brings a small bowl, puts most of the noodles in it, and pours two large spoonfuls of the cooked meat sauce on top.
She handed it to Lu Shiyan, then put some noodles into her own small bowl and scooped some sauce. She made a lot of sauce and planned to eat noodles as the staple food tomorrow.
Lu Shiyan looked at his own small basin and Xu Zhiyi's small bowl. There was a big difference between the two. He picked up the small bowl in her hand and brought them to the dining table.
Xu Zhiyi was behind him, holding a plate of spicy and sour white radish and a dish of crispy fish.
He mixed his food with chopsticks and waited for Xu Zhiyi to sit down and eat with him. "You've eaten too little. Do you want to eat more?"
Xu Zhiyi shook her head. A small bowl of carbohydrates was enough for her, and there were also delicious fruits in the space.
Lu Shiyan looked at her again, and seeing that she really didn't want to eat, he buried his head in making his noodles. Although his family was well off, they ate steamed buns all year round, and usually only ate noodles on birthdays.
The noodles were chewy and springy, mixed with the aroma of minced meat, and he couldn't stop eating them.
Xu Zhiyi picked up a piece of white radish strips, which was crispy. He took a bite and the juice burst in his mouth, which was refreshing and relieved the greasiness. He saw Lu Shiyan eat several big mouthfuls of noodles in one breath.
She took a pair of clean chopsticks and picked up two white radish strips for Lu Shiyan.
Lu Shiyan was stunned for a second, then took it and took a bite. It was indeed delicious. Xu Zhiyi picked up another piece of fish belly for him, and Lu Shiyan took it all.
Xu Zhiyi raised the corner of her mouth slightly. It seemed that Lu Shiyan was not so wary of her anymore. She specially bought two bottles of white wine and several bottles of beer, so that they could drink them together to get dizzy. She hoped that they would drink enough tomorrow.
Lu Shiyan's eating speed also slowed down. She had already taken the initiative to pick up fish and radish strips for him. It was certain that she would stay at home soon.
The crisp sound of teeth biting into radish makes people's hearts tremble in the quiet night.
Lu Shiyan waited expectantly for her to speak, only to see Xu Zhiyi had already finished her small bowl of noodles. He became even more nervous, and his back began to stiffen.
He focused all his energy on his ears and moved them to ensure that he could respond in time to whatever Xu Zhiyi said.
Xu Zhiyi finished his meal and wiped his mouth. He left before others had finished eating. It was very impolite. But he didn’t know what was wrong with Lu Shiyan today. Why was he eating so slowly?
Xu Zhiyi coughed lightly.
Lu Shiyan straightened his back a little more and stretched his ears forward.
Then I heard her say, "I'm going to go prepare the food for everyone tomorrow, take your time eating."
Seeing that she was about to get up, Lu Shiyan whispered, "That's it?"
Xu Zhiyi was a little confused. "What's that?" He wasn't expecting her to wash the dishes for him, was he? She loved cooking and hated washing dishes.
She looked at Lu Shiyan warily, and Lu Shiyan lowered his head silently and continued eating.
I really don't know what poisoned me today that I actually want the other party to let me stay at home. Maybe eating together made him feel at home. He shook his head quickly.
Get rid of those unnecessary thoughts.
Xu Zhiyi didn't know what he was thinking, so she didn't need to wash the dishes herself and slipped back to her own little room.
Looking at the ingredients in front of me, I decided to make something that needs to be stewed for a longer time tonight. I took out the pig's trotters and washed them twice in a basin of water.
In fact, she saw pig intestines in the supply and marketing cooperative today. She remembered that braised pig intestines were often made in literature in many eras.
She also likes to eat it, but it is too troublesome to clean it. She is a real peach blossom spirit and hates smelly things the most. Anyway, she has so many delicious foods, so she doesn't lack this.
Soon, the pig's trotters were put into the pot and braised, and a lot of eggs were added in. Eggs are the most nutritious, and they will definitely taste delicious when they are eaten.
The pig ears and pig trotters were not made with the same brine, so a new brine was mixed and simmered on the stove.
When Lu Shiyan finished his meal, Xu Zhiyi had just stewed the pig's trotters. He went to the kitchen with plates and dishes to wash the dishes.
While stealing a glance, Xu Zhiyi was cleaning the pig's ears.
He hesitated for a long time and saw Xu Zhiyi packing up the pig ears and leaving.
He suddenly remembered that he had to treat guests tomorrow, so it would be better for them to stay at home. Otherwise, it would be embarrassing if others saw that the two of them did not live together.
Lu Shiyan pondered for a moment and then said:
"Invite them over tomorrow, and I'll stay at home today. This will be good for both you and me."
Xu Zhiyi just put the last pig ear into the pot, turned around, looked at him and said;
"If you come back to live here, wouldn't it be even worse if they see that we don't live together? They'll either suspect that we're not in harmony or that you're inhumane."
Lu Shiyan froze for a moment, "Then I'll move the quilt to your room tomorrow, and then we can just pretend to sleep together."
Xu Zhiyi took two steps forward and got closer to Lu Shiyan. Lu Shiyan's fingernails felt numb. If she came over and kissed him, how could he do it so that she wouldn't feel embarrassed?
Xu Zhiyi leaned over and whispered in his ear:
"Then you should come later tomorrow. I'm used to sleeping naked."
After hearing this, all the blood in Lu Shiyan's body rushed to his head. The blood below could not work, so it rushed to the upper part.
After Xu Zhiyi finished speaking, he patted Lu Shiyan's chest with his palm and walked out.
Lu Shiyan was left standing alone in the kitchen.
