Yan Ning tied on an apron and said with a smile, "Then I'll cook a few of my signature dishes for everyone."
Without saying a word, Xie Huaiye stood up and said, "I'll go grocery shopping with you."
Sun Wuji jumped up too: "I'm going too!"
The market was noisy and bustling.
Yan Ning picked out vegetables and bargained, while Xie Huaiye silently followed behind carrying a basket.
Sun Wuji looked around, occasionally asking, "Do you want this?"
Back in the kitchen, Yan Ning rolled up her sleeves.
The cleaver chopped away, the fire blazed, and the oil in the pan sizzled and crackled.
Before long, braised pork, steamed fish, garlic shrimp... one dish after another was served on the table.
Qi Minghao leaned closer and said with a grin:
"Sister Ning, I haven't been able to help much along the way. Can I lend a hand this time?"
Yan Ning didn't even look up, and handed over a bunch of scallions: "Okay, chop them up."
Soon, all the dishes were served, and the table was filled with a wonderful aroma.
Everyone gathered around, exclaiming in amazement:
"It smells so good! Yan Ning, you're amazing!"
"She's truly a woman who can grace a formal occasion and cook in the kitchen!"
Xie Huaiye silently picked up a piece of meat, chewed it carefully, and nodded, saying, "Delicious."
Sun Wuji exclaimed as he ate heartily, "Amazing! It tastes even better than my mom's!"
[Sister Ning's cooking skills! I'm getting hungry just looking at it!]
[Beautiful, cool, and a great cook—Yan Ning is the perfect goddess!]
Xie Huaiye said it was delicious, so it really is delicious, hahaha!
[One second she's fighting demons, the next she's cooking—is there anything Ning Jie can't do?]
[These dishes! The sheen! I'd believe it if you told me it was a restaurant!]
Qi Minghao pulled two beautifully packaged bottles of wine from his bag and said loudly:
"After working so hard these past few days, I've got two bottles of good wine saved up here. We have to finish them off today!"
He deftly filled everyone's cups.
"Cheers to the successful completion of the show's recording!"
"cheers!"
The sounds of clinking glasses, laughter, and conversation blended together.
The more they chatted, the more excited they became, and they drank one glass of wine after another.
...
I don't know how much time passed.
Sun Wuji rubbed his temples and muttered:
"Strange, why do I feel so dizzy..."
Before he could finish speaking, he slumped limply onto the table.
Then, Xie Huaiye also frowned and put one hand to his forehead.
His vision blurred as he tried to look at Yan Ning, but he uncontrollably leaned back in his chair.
Yan Ning also felt dizzy. She shook her head and forced a glance at Qi Minghao:
"This wine...is not right..."
Before she could finish speaking, everything went black, and she collapsed.
