Luo Kangcheng had feelings for Shu Hui, not only because she was prettier than her peers, but also because of her resilient spirit.
Luo Kangcheng watched Shu Hui grow up step by step.
From the owner of a wonton shop to the owner of a fast food restaurant, from working alone to having two hundred employees this year, Shu Hui is becoming more and more outstanding and dazzling. She has a faint glow about her, which is what Luo Kangcheng admires.
Luo Kangcheng tightened his belt and walked out the door. "It's lunchtime. I don't know if my mom will be back. Shall I cook you something?"
Shu Hui was flattered and stood up abruptly. "Shall I go back to eat?"
"How can you leave so soon after you arrive? Besides, if I cook the meal, my parents can have some when they come back."
Shu Hui rolled up her sleeves, wanting to cook herself, but Luo Kangcheng wouldn't let her. He pulled her away from the stove, put on an apron, and started processing the mutton and beef.
Luo Kangcheng's movements were skillful; he often cooked. Shu Hui found it strange, "You're usually so busy with work, where do you find the time to cook?"
Luo Kangcheng smiled and said, "My parents are getting old, and since I don't come home for meals, they often just eat whatever's available. So I prepare their meals in advance so they can just heat them up for lunch. Eating well is essential for their longevity, isn't it?"
Shu Hui felt sorry for them, not for Luo Kangcheng, but for the two elderly people.
Aunt Zeng and Uncle Luo are getting old, and older people are afraid of trouble. They just eat whatever they can find. Shu Hui is sometimes like that too. When her daughter isn't home, she's too lazy to cook and just makes do with some leftovers.
But she is still relatively young and can still hold on. Aunt Zeng and Uncle Luo are quite old, so they really need to be taken care of more carefully.
Luo Kangcheng is a filial son, and it is indeed not easy for him to take care of both parents on his own.
Shu Hui stood by the door, watching Luo Kangcheng skillfully toss the wok. His movements were swift and efficient, and he quickly prepared the beef and mutton. Luo Kangcheng's cooking skills were truly excellent, even better than Shu Hui's.
When Shu Hui ate his cooking for the first time, she was somewhat surprised by his culinary skills.
The two were close but hadn't eaten alone together. Luo Kangcheng poured Shu Hui a glass of fruit wine. Shu Hui could drink several glasses, so she didn't refuse. The two of them drank two bottles of wine, one after the other.
Shu Hui put down her wine glass and wanted to serve herself a bowl of rice. Luo Kangcheng quickly served her a bowl and brought it out. He also served Shu Hui a bowl of tomato and egg soup. Knowing that she was a clean person, he even prepared tissues to wipe her mouth.
It was the first time Shu Hui had been taken care of by a man, and she felt a little uncomfortable.
Luo Kangcheng noticed her unease and smiled slightly. It was normal for Shu Hui to be uneasy; it would be abnormal if she didn't react at all.
She gets nervous, anxious, and reserved when she sees him, which at least proves that she's not completely indifferent to him.
