Lin Chun's girlfriend's eyes lit up as she smelled the aroma of chestnuts in the air: "Shall we have braised pork with chestnuts for lunch today?"
Lin Chun answered uncertainly, "Probably."
A short while later, Chen Le returned with He Yuan. He Yuan's expression was neither good nor bad, but Chen Le's mood was noticeably lower than before.
Eek—
His roommate won't be able to come over for dinner tomorrow!
He Yuan said that He Jing already worked very hard cooking lunch for them every day, and adding a lot of food would be time-consuming and laborious, and could easily interfere with their studies. She even returned the 150 yuan to him.
Even if you treat them to a free meal today, it's best not to bring anyone tomorrow.
Why!
Yes, he should have discussed it with He Jing and He Yuan first.
He could understand why He Yuan didn't want He Jing to cook for other people, but the thought of having to enjoy such delicious food all by himself in the future...
Waaah, I'm going to have to eat three big bowls of soup with tears in my eyes later.
Soon, He Jing's dishes were ready.
When she came out of the small kitchen carrying braised pork with chestnuts, beer-braised duck, stir-fried lettuce, and hot and sour shredded potatoes, she was taken aback to see the inexplicable extra people in the laboratory.
He Yuan quickly stepped forward and took two dishes from her tray to lighten her load. He Jing smiled and asked, "Are these friends of Senior Chen Le and Senior Lin Chun?"
He Yuan was a little embarrassed: "Um..."
"Then I'll cook two more dishes."
"wait……"
Before He Yuan could stop her, He Jing turned around and plunged into the kitchen.
Fortunately, to save time, she bought two days' worth of groceries at once, and the ingredients for the stir-fried beef and Sichuan-style chicken she planned to make tomorrow were all there.
I figured I might as well cook a couple more dishes; it wouldn't take long at all, and it was done in just fifteen minutes.
When He Jing brought two new dishes to the table, Chen Le's mouth was practically watering. He rolled up his sleeves, ready to dig in, and said, "With so many delicious dishes, I'm going to eat my fill today."
Chen Le's roommates looked at each other, bewildered.
I thought it was some fancy dish, but this is such a common home-style dish, it's hard to believe it's as delicious as he's making it sound...
However, there was no other way.
Since we're already here and have paid,
With this mindset, the three roommates reluctantly picked up their chopsticks, hesitantly taking a bite of the most appetizing-looking spicy bamboo shoots, and then—
Oh my god!
What delicious fresh bamboo shoots!
With each bite, the tangy and spicy juice bursts forth. The perfect balance of softness and firmness makes their teeth feel as if they've been blessed. The entire bamboo shoot seems to be enveloped by a mysterious power, its spiciness burning their tongues. Yet, they simply can't stop chewing, and in one go, they shovel five large mouthfuls of rice down their throats.
tasty!
So delicious!
The three of them were like three little pigs fighting over food, not interested in talking, just focused on eating. Their faces were red and their necks were thick from the spiciness of the bamboo shoots, but they couldn't resist the taste of the bamboo shoots. They picked at the bamboo shoots again and again, and in less than ten seconds, half a plate of bamboo shoots was gone.
Chen Le was dumbfounded: "He's even more powerful than me!"
Then, realizing what was happening, he shouted, "Stop grabbing! Stop grabbing! We haven't grabbed any yet!"
Thus, the four of them got into a chaotic battle over fresh bamboo shoots.
Lin Chun's girlfriend took a demure bite of the braised chicken with chestnuts, and immediately stomped her foot, exclaiming, "Doggy, this lady's cooking is so delicious!"
Her face was full of satisfaction, revealing her foodie nature.
Lin Chun, who always thought her girlfriend was asexual: "..."
I get it now. So my girlfriend wasn't aloof, she just didn't love me that much. No wonder she wouldn't eat anything he bought or accept any gifts from him.
He Jing watched as Lin Chun's expression turned melancholic in an instant, and a question mark slowly appeared in her mind: "?"
