Mu Qiao came out of the bathroom, thinking back to what Qiao Lubai had said during their morning run, "I like eating xiaolongbao the most, do you remember? Especially the taste of the ones you make."
Mu Qiao thought about it and decided that since they were going to date, Deputy Captain Qiao couldn't do it all by herself. She might as well go to the kitchen and see if there were any ingredients for making dumplings, then she would kindly make some for him.
Mu Qiao's style has always been to do it as soon as he thinks of it.
While Qiao Lubai was still hesitating in the master bedroom, she tiptoed downstairs and went to the kitchen.
The kitchen in Meiyuan is large, clean and tidy, and the refrigerator is neatly filled with various ingredients.
Mu Qiao rummaged through the ingredients for making xiaolongbao, and was busy mixing the dough and stuffing while watching a food video.
When Qiao Lubai went downstairs, he smelled the aroma of food and a gentle smile appeared on his handsome face.
He was just about to go to the kitchen to check when his cell phone rang.
Qiao Lubai reluctantly took out his phone and checked the incoming call, "Grandpa!"
...
...
Grandpa knew that he was on vacation with Mu Qiao to build their relationship, so why did he call him at this time? Did something happen in Snow Wolf?
Qiao Lubai didn't dare to delay. He took his cell phone into the study room on the first floor, closed the door quietly, and answered the call.
"Grandpa, what's wrong?" Qiao Lubai asked.
On the other end of the phone, Old Qiao said sternly, "The military has concluded its investigation into Quan Tianyi. He is fine. He will be transferred to Snow Wolf tomorrow to replace Chief of Staff Lu Yan."
Qiao Lubai was no stranger to Quan Tianyi. They had fought side by side in the Hunter School.
But, how could such a powerful person like Quan Tianyi be transferred to Snow Wolf?
Qiao Lubai was very puzzled, especially why Chief of Staff Lu Yan wrote Quan Tianyi's name when he died?
The military said that Quan Tianyi had no problems, but what was the basis for that?!
Qiao Lubai silently asked a question in his heart.
However, on the phone, Qiao Lubai did not bring it up with his grandfather, but accepted it with pleasure.
Old Qiao was a little puzzled, "Lu Bai, don't you have any questions about Quan Tianyi?"
"The military has confirmed that he is fine, so what doubts could I have?" Qiao Lubai's words sounded flawless, but Old Qiao sensed a hint of tension.
"Don't you want Quan Tianyi to join Snow Wolf?" Old Qiao asked tentatively.
Qiao Lubai quickly covered up, "Grandpa, I didn't say such a thing."
Old Qiao laughed and said, "You'd better not have such thoughts. You have to accept the person the military has chosen even if you don't want to."
Qiao Lubai shrugged, "As you wish."
When he agreed, he felt a little unhappy, but he didn't dwell on it anymore. He put down his phone and left the kitchen.
In the kitchen, Mu Qiao, who had changed into a sweater and jeans and was wearing an apron, was kneading flour with her slender, strong wheat-colored hands.
Hearing footsteps, she turned her head and glanced at Qiao Lubai, and immediately smiled awkwardly.
"Captain Qiao, you said I made xiao long bao before, but I don't remember it at all, so I wanted to try it."
Qiao Lubai walked up to her and saw the flour on her nose and her hands stained with flour. He was very moved.
Qiao Lubai showed a delighted smile and stretched out his fingers to wipe the flour off her nose. "Have you found the feeling?"
"Not yet, I'm watching a video." Mu Qiao pointed shyly at the mobile phone placed on the panel, which was playing a tutorial on how to make xiaolongbao.
"Go and do your thing. I'll call you when I'm done!" Mu Qiao ordered her to leave. She was not used to being watched by Qiao Lubai while she was kneading dough in such a clumsy way.
Unexpectedly, Qiao Lubai took her hand and walked to the sink to wash the dishes. "I'll do it, you just watch from the side."
"But you said you wanted to eat the dumplings I made." Mu Qiao pouted. She just wanted to make herself useful and not be labeled as someone who eats and drinks for free.
"I just said that. I'm glad that you care so much about what I said." Qiao Lubai washed her hands gently. Mu Qiao did not struggle and let him wash her.
"Okay." Qiao Lubai took a dry towel to wipe Mu Qiao's hands, then rubbed his own hands, walked to the chopping board, and kneaded the dough skillfully.
His movements were so smooth that if you didn't know him, you would think he was the pastry chef in the five-star hotel.
Mu Qiao was stunned watching from the side. She really didn't expect that Deputy Captain Qiao was actually an expert at kneading noodles.
Deputy Captain Qiao is worthy of being the all-rounder. He is so good at kneading dough. Amazing!
Qiao Lubai stole a glance at the surprised Mu Qiao and said with a smile: "When I first entered the Hunter School, I didn't have the ability, so the instructor threw me into the mess hall and I became a cook."
"The cooks have to make bread and dumplings every day, so they have mastered this unique skill."
When Mu Qiao heard the word "unique skills", he couldn't help but laugh, and the shock on his face could not be concealed.
It is really jaw-dropping that Deputy Captain Qiao, an all-round soldier who graduated from the Hunter School, actually has such a dark history.
"Don't worry, I can handle both housework and cooking." Qiao Lubai patted his chest and recommended himself, with a smile as warm as spring breeze on his handsome face.
Deputy Captain Qiao looks really good when he smiles.
Mu Qiao was a little stunned, but he quickly reacted, his eyes flashed, and he avoided his gaze: "Since Deputy Captain Qiao is so powerful, then I will wait to eat."
"Okay." Qiao Lubai agreed gently and kneaded the dough seriously.
"I'm going to go outside and make a phone call first." Mu Qiao picked up the phone that was still playing the tutorial, turned it off, and turned out of the kitchen.
Qiao Lubai turned his head and looked at her back, feeling sweet in his heart.
It turns out that being with the person you love is so enjoyable even when you are doing the things you least want to do?!
Haha, he never believed these things before, but now he believes them, and he believes them very much.

At the breakfast table, Mu Qiao looked at the delicious and juicy dumplings placed in front of him and swallowed his saliva several times.
"It smells so good!" Mu Qiao praised with a smile, looking at the man who took off his apron, and asked, "Deputy Captain Qiao, can I start eating?"
"Of course." Qiao Lubai handed her the chopsticks and looked at Mu Qiao's smiling and delicate little face, and couldn't help but be stunned.
"What are you looking at?" Mu Qiao took the chopsticks and looked back at him with narrowed eyes.
"Oh, nothing." Qiao Lubai sat down awkwardly, face to face with Mu Qiao, smiling a little angrily, angry at himself.
Was he just a coward? He was obviously attracted by Mu Qiao's beauty, but he didn't dare to admit it!
Alas, he is becoming more and more shameless as he grows older.
Mu Qiao is his daughter-in-law, so he must dare to express his inner thoughts in order to win her heart.
Looking at the man who was absent-mindedly eating the dumplings, Mu Qiao was very curious. What was wrong with him? Was he disgusted with the dumplings he made?
Mu Qiao subconsciously took a bite of the steamed bun in his hand. Hmm, it was juicy and delicious.
Mu Qiao couldn't help but eat a few more, but her puzzled eyes never left Qiao Lubai. What was he thinking?
