Dai Xingyun quickly shook his head, "No need, I've already taken care of everything. I just need to cook one dish. You can go and wait outside." As he spoke, he gently nudged Shen Xiaoxiao's shoulder, signaling her to leave the kitchen.
Shen Xiaoxiao reluctantly walked out of the kitchen, looked around the living room, and found that there was really nothing to do.
So she turned on the TV and randomly picked a program to watch.
Time slips away unnoticed, and every minute and second flies by.
In less than half an hour, Dai Xingyun had neatly arranged all the dishes on the table.
He was not only quick, but also exceptionally meticulous. After setting out the bowls and chopsticks, he specially served himself and Shen Xiaoxiao each a bowl of steaming rice.
Then, he stepped into the living room and smiled at Shen Xiaoxiao, who was engrossed in watching TV, and said, "Xiaoxiao, come and eat!"
Shen Xiaoxiao was completely absorbed in the TV program and didn't realize that so much time had passed.
Hearing Dai Xingyun's call, she was startled at first, then came to her senses and quickly answered.
She quickly turned off the TV, hurriedly ran to the kitchen to wash her hands, and then quickly came out.
When she saw the two dishes and soup on the table, which looked and smelled delicious, she couldn't help but exclaim, "Wow, it smells so good! This must be delicious!"
Before she finished speaking, she eagerly picked up her chopsticks, grabbed a piece of food, and put it in her mouth, chewing it with relish.
"Mmm!" Shen Xiaoxiao nodded repeatedly while chewing her food. "The taste is really good, it's improved a lot since before! Mr. Dai, you're getting more and more amazing!"
A satisfied smile spread across her face as she generously praised Dai Xingyun's culinary skills.
Dai Xingyun was pleased to hear Shen Xiaoxiao's praise. "Haha, thank you for the praise, Xiaoxiao. I will continue to work hard! I will strive to make even greater progress next time."
The two chatted happily while enjoying the delicious food.
After finishing the meal, Dai Xingyun took the initiative to clean up the kitchen.
He first cleared the table of dishes and chopsticks, and then he began to wash the pots and pans, doing each step in an orderly manner.
"Mr. Dai, you spoil me so much, not letting me do anything. I'm going to suffer in the future," Shen Xiaoxiao said softly with a smile on her lips.
"How could that be?" Dai Xingyun's lips curled up slightly, revealing a doting smile. "I just like taking care of you. Seeing you happy makes me happy too. Besides, I don't want you to do these chores around the house."
After saying that, he continued washing the dishes attentively, his movements skillful and efficient.
In no time, the kitchen was cleaned up and spotless.
After washing his hands, Dai Xingyun turned to look at Shen Xiaoxiao. Their eyes met, and for a moment they were both at a loss for words.
After a moment of silence, Shen Xiaoxiao suddenly remembered something and quickly said, "Oh, right, this is the ointment for Grandpa Qin and the others. Could you take it back and give it to them for me?"
"I've written the usage and dosage on this piece of paper. You can have them test it first, and then use it according to the instructions on it."
As she spoke, she took a bottle of ointment from the cabinet and handed it to Dai Xingyun.
Dai Xingyun carefully took the ointment, a hint of curiosity rising in his heart. He looked at Shen Xiaoxiao and asked in confusion, "How did you know they were going to take it for testing?"
Shen Xiaoxiao smiled slightly, nodded, and explained, "Although I don't pay much attention to national affairs, I know that they are all remarkable people! The things they use must have been rigorously selected."
Upon hearing this, Dai Xingyun secretly admired Shen Xiaoxiao's intelligence. He quickly changed the subject, smiling as he said, "So where shall we go tomorrow? In the coming days, we can travel around and enjoy ourselves."
Shen Xiaoxiao's eyes lit up, and she said excitedly, "I want to watch the flag-raising ceremony and experience that solemn and respectful atmosphere."
"Then I'd like to climb the Great Wall and appreciate its grandeur. Finally, I'd like to visit the Forbidden City to learn about the lives of the ancient imperial family. Are there any other fun places to visit in Kyoto?"
Dai Xingyun gently stroked Chen Xiaoxiao's head and patiently replied, "There are plenty! For example, Houhai, where there are beautiful lake views and all sorts of unique shops;"
"And there's Rakshasa Sea, the scenery there is also very nice. I'll take you to see them one by one."
Upon hearing this, Shen Xiaoxiao was as happy as a child. She cheerfully said, "Then it's a deal! There are still about ten days before school starts, so you have to take me to see every tourist attraction these days!"
Dai Xingyun answered without hesitation, "Okay, no problem! I will definitely take you to every scenic spot in the next few days so that you can enjoy yourself and experience the local customs and culture."
The next morning, before the sun had even risen, Dai Xingyun and Shen Xiaoxiao had already gotten up early.
After quickly washing up, they couldn't wait to rush to Tiananmen Square to watch the solemn and sacred flag-raising ceremony.
When they arrived at the square, they found it already packed with people, making it impossible to move.
Shen Xiaoxiao couldn't help but exclaim, "Wow, so many people!" Her eyes widened in astonishment at the sight before her.
Dai Xingyun smiled and said to her, "This is not many. There will be even more people on National Day!" His voice was particularly loud in the noisy crowd.
As time ticked by, finally, a group of soldiers in neat uniforms marched out with vigorous strides, holding bright red five-star flags.
In an instant, the entire square fell silent, and everyone's eyes were focused on the bright five-star red flag.
Immediately afterwards, the stirring national anthem resounded, and the five-star red flag slowly rose in the morning breeze. People stood at attention, saluted the national flag, and sang the national anthem at the same time.
Shen Xiaoxiao stood in the crowd, a strong emotion welling up in her heart.
She was deeply moved by the solemn scene, feeling her blood boiling.
People gradually dispersed when the national anthem ended and the five-star red flag fluttered in the sky.
Shen Xiaoxiao was still immersed in the shock of what had just happened, and it took her a while to come back to her senses.
She excitedly grabbed Dai Xingyun's hand and said, "This is so amazing! I want to come again next time, and I want to see the flag-raising ceremony again!"
Dai Xingyun raised the corners of his mouth slightly, revealing a faint smile, and readily agreed: "Okay, it is indeed getting late. I'll take you to try Kyoto's most famous specialty breakfast, I guarantee you'll never forget it."
Upon hearing the words "special breakfast," Shen Xiaoxiao's eyes lit up immediately, and she asked with great curiosity, "What kind of special breakfast is it?"
