Bai Ling was sleeping soundly, her nose twitching. The faint smell of meat made her smack her lips unconsciously in her sleep.
“It smells so good!”
She mumbled softly in her sleep, turned over and continued to sleep. The scene of herself eating braised pork appeared in her mind. The smell of the meat filling her mouth made her open her eyes instantly.
"Is this meaty aroma?"
"It doesn't seem like a dream!"
Bai Ling mumbled a few words, and the next moment, a gurgling sound came from her stomach.
"Who's cooking? How come the aroma is coming into my house?"
He muttered to himself with a slightly dissatisfied expression: "Shouldn't we eat meat quietly behind closed doors? I woke up hungry."
When she woke up, she had already forgotten her morning appointment with Jia Dongsheng, and she thought the smell was from the meat cooked by the neighbors in other courtyards.
"well!"
I sighed, my stomach was rumbling. Of course I couldn't continue sleeping. I shook my head to make myself alert, then got up, got dressed, and prepared to go to the bathroom.
Although she lives alone in this small courtyard, she still has to go to the public toilet.
When she opened the door and walked out, the aroma of meat became stronger, and she couldn't help but flash a hint of desire in her eyes. This smell was so mouth-watering!
"Sister Ling, are you up?"
Just as Bai Ling was walking out, a man's voice suddenly came. As the saying goes, scaring people to death can be a great way to kill them.
She didn't know there were other people at home, so she was completely unprepared and was startled out of the blue.
This is not an empty statement.
Bai Ling actually took a step forward, then made a defensive gesture and looked towards the source of the sound.
"Dongzi?"
After looking carefully, she saw a head popping out from the kitchen door. It was Jia Dongsheng. Bai Ling couldn't help but feel confused. Why was he in her own home and in the kitchen?
"Sister Ling, it's me."
Jia Dongsheng retracted his head, wiped his hands, and then came out again, smiling and said, "Sister Ling, are you awake?"
"Ah, I'm awake."
Bai Ling nodded in confusion, pointed at Jia Dongsheng, and then pointed at the kitchen: "Why are you here?"
"Sister Ling, you didn't fall asleep, did you?"
Jia Dongsheng said with concern: "Didn't we agree this morning that I'd cook you a meal to celebrate your successful case and to help you recuperate?"
"Yeah?"
Hearing this, Bai Ling couldn't help but recall it in her mind. After all, it happened not long ago. After a little recollection, she remembered it.
Then, she pointed her finger at the sky and circled around: "So, is this fragrance that fills the yard all caused by you?"
Speaking of this, Jia Dongsheng immediately puffed out his chest and said proudly: "Of course, how about it, is it delicious? Do you want to eat it?"
Upon hearing this, Bai Ling couldn't help swallowing. The fragrance was so good that of course she wanted to eat it.
So, she didn't hesitate and nodded directly: "I want to."
"If you want to eat, come and eat quickly. It's all ready and we're just waiting for you to wake up."
As he said that, Jia Dongsheng was about to pull Bai Ling's arm and walk into the house.
Bai Ling had just taken two steps when she felt a slight pain in her lower abdomen. Don't get me wrong, it wasn't the uterine cold pain from the relatives who came to her this morning, but the pain from not going to the toilet after sleeping all day.
"Dongzi, prepare the food first, I'll be back soon."
Bai Ling was about to leave when she spoke. Jia Dongsheng was puzzled and couldn't help asking, "Sister Ling, where are you going? If you don't eat quickly, it will get cold."
"Don't worry about it, I'll be back soon."
Bai Ling didn't have the nerve to tell a man that she needed to go to the bathroom, so she immediately trotted out of the yard.
Looking at Bai Ling's posture of squeezing her legs together, arching her waist, and twisting her buttocks, Jia Dongsheng frowned, and then he suddenly realized.
I understand what's going on with Bai Ling.
Unable to help but smile, Jia Dongsheng turned around and walked into the house.
When Bai Ling came back, Jia Dongsheng had already placed six dishes and a soup on the table, and three staple foods on the side: rice, steamed buns, and porridge.
For Bai Ling, this scene was the ultimate in richness.
After entering the room, Bai Ling was dumbfounded when she saw this scene. She pointed at the food on the table and said to Jia Dongsheng, "Did you prepare all this?"
"Of course. Today is to celebrate you solving the case, so we have to do more and make it more grand."
Jia Dongsheng nodded as a matter of course: "And Sister Ling, you are a little thin, you should eat more to replenish your body."
"Even if I want to replenish my energy, this is too much. How can I finish it?"
“It’s okay if you can’t finish it!”
Jia Dongsheng pointed outside and said, "It's cold outside now. If you leave it out before you can finish it, it will freeze. You can heat it up when you're ready to eat. It saves you the trouble of cooking. It's not a big deal at all."
Bai Ling was speechless after hearing this. It made so much sense!
However, she still felt a little embarrassed to accept such a sumptuous table of dishes that Jia Dongsheng prepared for her for no reason.
Looking at the dishes on the table, goose stewed with potatoes, braised pork ribs, tiger skin elbow, braised beef, cumin lamb, what attracted her attention most was the braised pork that appeared in her dream just now.
That’s right, six dishes, none of them were vegetarian, all of them were meat dishes, six meat dishes. She hadn’t had such a sumptuous meal in the past ten years.
"Dongzi, you're spending too much. I thought you'd just make two dishes for the two of us to enjoy, but you made way too much."
Bai Ling's expression was very interesting. She was a little greedy for the food on the table, but also a little embarrassed, not knowing what to do.
Seeing such a variety of expressions, Jia Dongsheng was amused. However, he couldn't show it on his face. He said seriously, "Sister Ling, I just want to ask you a question."
"What's the problem?" Bai Ling looked at Jia Dongsheng blankly.
"We are friends, aren't we?"
"Of course we're friends."
This made Bai Ling roll her eyes. If she didn't consider Jia Dongsheng as a friend, why would she let him cook for her, teach her martial arts, and pat her on the butt?
"That's it."
Jia Dongsheng stood up, walked to Bai Ling, took her arm, walked to the stool, pressed Bai Ling's shoulders and made her sit down.
"We are friends. I see you are thin and frail, so I want to give you some nourishment. Is that reasonable?"
"We're friends. I'm happy for you because you solved the case. I want to celebrate with you. Is that okay?"
These two questions stumped Bai Ling. Based on these two questions, it seemed that there was nothing Jia Dongsheng did that she could not accept.
After all, she had studied abroad and had been exposed to some foreign concepts. Bai Ling felt that she really shouldn't think too much about her friend's kindness and should just accept it with peace of mind.
What's more, since it has been done and cannot be taken back, why think so much?
