At six o'clock in the evening, Lu Wan opened the door and all kinds of smells immediately flooded into her nose.
The indescribable smell in the room made Lu Wan frown. She really couldn't figure out what Leng Chengze had been doing at home all day?
Seeing that there was no one in the living room, Lu Wan put down her bag and walked straight to the kitchen.
Sure enough, as soon as I walked to the kitchen door, I saw Leng Chengze busy inside.
"Are you off work? Sit down for a while. I made the food. It will be ready soon."
Leng Chengze was very busy. When he heard footsteps, he looked up at the door and saw Lu Wan standing at the kitchen door.
"Are you cooking?"
Lu Wan asked uncertainly, her eyes then falling on the pile of unidentified objects in the trash can.
The amount of stuff in that bucket was astonishing, obviously the product of his many failures.
How many times do you have to fail before the trash can is almost overflowing?
"Yeah, you got off work so late, you must be tired. Dinner will be ready soon."
Leng Chengze spoke cheerfully, turned around and continued busy cooking, completely unaware of the look of fear on Lu Wan's face.
"Why did you suddenly think of cooking for yourself?"
Watching him enthusiastically frying the dishes in the pot, and then thinking that he was going to let her eat it, Lu Wan's face looked like she was about to eat chocolate-flavored poop.
"There's not much food in the fridge at home, just instant noodles and frozen dumplings. Those aren't nutritious, so I went downstairs and bought some vegetables."
By the time Leng Chengze replied, the vegetables in the pot were already cooked. He unskillfully shoveled the vegetables onto a plate, a movement that made Lu Wan's heart beat faster, fearing that he would overturn the pot with a trembling hand.
"Let me do it..." Lu Wan couldn't bear to watch it anymore, so she quickly squeezed into the kitchen, snatched the pot from his hand, and started to do it herself.
"How did you know there were vegetables for sale downstairs?"
When the two of them sat at the dining table in the living room, looking at the three dishes and one soup that didn't look very good and didn't know how they tasted, Lu Wan asked this question with a heavy tone.
"I don't know. I was planning to take the bus to the farmers' market, but when I walked downstairs, I met a kind lady who took me to the nearby vegetable market to buy it."
Seeing Lu Wan sitting down, Leng Chengze took out two bowls and filled a bowl of rice for himself and Lu Wan from the rice cooker.
“How about trying it…”
Leng Chengze gently placed the prepared food in front of Lu Wan, and then he didn't bother to eat. He just stared at Lu Wan without blinking, hoping with joy that Lu Wan would pick up her chopsticks first to taste the food he cooked.
Lu Wan: “…”
At this moment, Lu Wan's heart was full of excitement. She was not really that hungry, but it was difficult for her to refuse directly.
Moreover, the dishes in front of her were really unappetizing. She even began to worry that if she ate these dishes, she would be admitted to the hospital.
"You..." Lu Wan finally spoke after hesitating for a long time.
"Have you tried these dishes yourself?"
Lu Wan held the chopsticks tightly in her hand, moving them back and forth above the dishes, never daring to put them down easily.
When she asked this question, her voice was so low that it was almost inaudible, and she seemed extremely cautious.
"Uh..." Leng Chengze felt a little embarrassed when asked this.
"I've tasted the ones before, but I haven't tasted these yet. You came back just in time. I haven't had the chance to taste them yet."
Leng Chengze scratched his head and said with a slightly apologetic smile.
"But it's okay. I've failed so many times before, and I've figured out the reasons. These dishes shouldn't be too bad."
When Leng Chengze heard Lu Wan's words and thought of the pile of failed products in the kitchen, a hint of embarrassment flashed across his face.
Lu Wan: “…”
Now I don’t dare to taste it first. What should I do?
Lu Wan looked at the dishes on the table and became even more confused, with nothing but confusion on her face.
"Give it a try..."
Leng Chengze was immersed in the excitement of cooking for the person he loved and didn't notice Lu Wan's struggle at all.
"call……"
Seeing his expectant expression, Lu Wan gritted her teeth and picked up a piece of unknown dish with her chopsticks. After picking it up, the courage she had just mustered disappeared.
Honestly, this dish looks very dangerous. If she says she doesn't want to eat it, will he cry?
Lu Wan looked at the dish on the chopsticks, then looked at the handsome face opposite her that was full of expectation. She gritted her teeth, opened her mouth, closed her eyes and put the dish into her mouth.
When Leng Chengze saw Lu Wan eating the food he cooked, her face, which was full of nervousness and anticipation, immediately brightened.
He looked at Lu Wan opposite him nervously, not breathing heavily, for fear of disturbing the quiet atmosphere.
Lu Wan closed her eyes and chewed twice as if ready to die, and the expression on her face suddenly changed.
"How about it?"
Judging from her expression, something seemed to be wrong, and Leng Chengze's heart was in turmoil.
"It's okay, just a little mushy. There's not enough salt and no seasoning. Hmm, it has the original flavor of the vegetables."
With every word Lu Wan said, the anticipation on Leng Chengze's face diminished a little. By the time Lu Wan finished speaking, the anticipation on his face was gone, replaced by confusion.
After Lu Wan put down her chopsticks, he picked up the chopsticks and took a bite, then...
He was so disgusted by the food he cooked that his handsome face was distorted.
Putting aside the question of whether it was edible or not, the taste was extremely bland. Even Lu Wan's description of it being a bit fuzzy was an understatement.
This isn't just a little blurry, it's so blurry that it's bitter.
“Woo…”
"Why is it still like this? I've been paying close attention and following the tutorial on my phone."
Leng Chengze spat out the disgusting food in his mouth, put down his chopsticks, and didn't even mention the remaining dishes. He looked completely listless.
If he was only three years old, he would have probably cried.
Lu Wan: “…”
He looked like he was about to cry due to the blow, but Lu Wan couldn't bear to dampen his enthusiasm as it was his first time cooking. She continued to pick up the chopsticks and picked up the next dish.
"Don't...eat...anymore..."
Seeing Lu Wan picked up the next dish, Leng Chengze wanted to tell her not to eat it, but before he could finish his words, he saw Lu Wan had already put the dish into her mouth.
For a moment, Leng Chengze was like a suspect in court, nervously waiting for the judge to give him a verdict.
"puff……"
Lu Wan chewed it for a bit before her expression suddenly changed. She quickly lowered her head and spat into the trash can.
"Drink some water..."
Seeing her suddenly like this, Leng Chengze quickly poured her a glass of water.
Lu Wan saw the water in front of her, took it and drank it in big gulps, then ran to the kitchen to wash away the taste in her mouth.
"How are you, are you okay?"
Seeing Lu Wan like this, Leng Chengze really burst into tears.
He really just wanted to cook for the person he liked, why did it turn out like this?
"It's okay. How much vinegar did you put in this dish?"
After the sour and bitter taste in her mouth dissipated, Lu Wan continued to sit at the table and looked at the second dish and asked.
