Chapter 212: Setbacks
Of course, serious love is no joke.
Even if you really want to break up, you should at least pretend for a while and then find another reason to break up.
Lu Jingyao, who was standing by, had no idea what was going on in Xu Youyou's mind, and was still looking at her expectantly: "Why don't you eat anymore? Is it not to your liking?"
Xu Youyou suddenly saw that there were burn marks on the back of Lu Jingyao's bony hands.
"Is it because of the burns from cooking?" Xu Youyou asked.
Lu Jingyao said: "It's not a big deal, it's my fault for not being careful."
Xu Youyou felt that these words seemed to be hesitant, as if he was trying to show off his achievements.
Xu Youyou was unwilling to let herself down in this life, and did not intend to swallow this disgusting food. She rolled her eyes and said immediately, "I feel so bad for you. Don't cook for me anymore."
Lu Jingyao paused slightly. He had indeed never cooked before, but when he was preparing breakfast for Xu Youyou, he was filled with an indescribable feeling of happiness.
Just the words "cooking for the person you love" are enough to give him unprecedented satisfaction.
"But I really like cooking for you." Lu Jingyao said tenderly.
Xu Youyou: You want to do it but I don’t want to eat it.
She couldn't help but complain in her heart that Lu Jingyao was "a wimp and a playboy", but she still said, "I don't like to see you torturing yourself."
Lu Jingyao immediately said: "Although I am not proficient yet, I will practice a few more times and then I won't get hurt."
Almost all of Xu Youyou’s excuses were blocked, and she really couldn’t find any reason for a moment.
But Lu Jingyao was still urging: "Eat it while it's hot. It will hurt your stomach if it gets cold."
Xu Youyou stirred the food in the bowl with a spoon but didn't dare to put it into her mouth.
"Why didn't I see Lele when I woke up this morning? I don't know where he went." Xu Youyou said.
Lu Jingyao knew that Lele had always been sensitive, and Xu Youyou also paid special attention to him, so he immediately said, "I'll go look for him."
Seeing Lu Jingyao leave the kitchen and Assistant Liu following him out, Xu Youyou breathed a sigh of relief.
Xu Fang on the side very obediently took out a dog bowl, and Xu Youyou poured the whole bowl of wontons into the dog bowl as if her hands were shaking.
"I can't bear hardship, so let the puppy suffer." Xu Youyou said with a little apology.
As soon as she finished speaking, her eyes suddenly fixed.
I hadn't noticed it before. Why was there a whole piece of ginger in the dog bowl? Why did Lu Jingyao put ginger in when cooking wontons? And why didn't he even cut it? Xu Fang followed her boss's line of sight and whispered, "Mr. Lu heard from someone that eating ginger in winter warms the body, so he threw the whole piece in. But don't worry, boss, I washed the ginger thoroughly."
Xu Youyou could only be thankful that she only took one bite.
Xu Fang called out again and rushed in on his short legs. When he saw the snow-white wontons placed in his dog bowl, he buried his head in it without any precautions.
Five seconds later.
"Woof woof! What a piece of rubbish! Are you trying to poison me to death, Master?"
Guaiguai was cursing loudly at the dog bowl. Even though Xu Fang couldn't understand dog language, she felt that the curses seemed very dirty.
"Why don't they even eat dogs?" Xu Youyou sighed softly.
He turned around and continued to yell at her: "I'm your dog! Not your trash can! I don't want to pay attention to you today!"
After saying that, he turned around and faced Xu Youyou with his butt.
"Will you treat your brothers to a meal later? I'll provide you with two big bags of freeze-dried food then? Can we make peace?" Xu Youyou asked Guaiguai in a low voice.
Guaiguai performed a Sichuan opera face-changing on the spot, turned around, and put his head against Xu Youyou's calf. His original barking turned into a gentle whimper: "Woof woof! The poop scooper and I are the best in the world!"
Xu Youyou resisted the urge to roll her eyes at the puppy, and instead felt troubled by the wontons in the dog bowl. She had no habit of wasting food, but she didn't want to eat it without any effort.
"I see that Director He has raised a few chickens in the back." Xu Fang took the initiative to help her boss solve his problems.
Xu Youyou patted her shoulder and said, "Do it more covertly."
When Lu Jingyao came back, he saw the empty bowl and his eyes lit up: "You've finished eating!"
Xu Youyou just felt extremely embarrassed.
Lu Jingyao continued: "I will make breakfast for you every day from now on!"
Xu Youyou:!!!
"Don't do that!"
What she blurted out made Lu Jingyao slightly stunned: "What's wrong? Are you afraid that I don't have time? Don't worry, time can be squeezed out. As long as I'm not on a business trip, I will make breakfast for you."
Xu Youyou could imagine that even if she returned to Shanghai in the future, everyone would live in the same community, and maybe when she woke up early every morning, there would be a large plate of dark food waiting for her.
Between the feast prepared by her own chef and Lu Jingyao's loving meal, Xu Youyou strode towards her own chef without any hesitation.
"Mr. Lu." Xu Youyou just started.
Lu Jingyao immediately said: "I have a name."
"Lu Jingyao." Xu Youyou immediately changed her words.
Lu Jingyao nodded slightly, his beautiful and deep eyes staring at Xu Youyou intently, making her feel like the most important person in the world for a moment.
Xu Youyou was about to say something, but suddenly she couldn't finish it.
Lu Jingyao waited for a while, and seeing that she looked conflicted, he took the initiative to hold her hand: "I am not good at guessing what girls are thinking, and I am afraid that we will waste each other's energy and suspicion because of guessing each other. So if you have anything to say, you can tell me directly."
Xu Youyou was moved in her heart. Lu Jingyao was usually very efficient in his work, and now he applied the same principles at work to love.
But she didn't refuse. They guessed at each other and had things to say that they couldn't express. The hero and heroine were like they didn't have mouths. This is the routine of idol dramas. If it happened in real life, it would be purely asking for trouble.
She took a deep breath and said, "Lu Jingyao, your cooking is not delicious. I don't want to eat it anymore."
There was a moment of blankness on Lu Jingyao's face.
Xu Youyou was worried. Did she say something too harsh and hurt him?
Unexpectedly, half a minute later, Lu Jingyao's expression became a little strange.
"So this is what it feels like to be rejected by others." Lu Jingyao said softly.
"I'm sorry, did I speak too harshly?" Xu Youyou asked.
Lu Jingyao shook his head: "You don't have to apologize to me. I won't be upset because of such a small matter. Speaking of which, I have been fast in everything since I was a child. This is the first time I have encountered setbacks."
Seeing that he didn't seem disappointed, Xu Youyou felt slightly relieved, but she couldn't help feeling jealous.
