Although she felt a little disappointed, Xu Xi quickly calmed herself down.
Because if she thought about it carefully, she and Chen Shuning were not very close now, and they had only known each other for a day or two. She boasted that she was willing to help Chen Shuning with the drawings at any time, so Chen Shuning wanted to reciprocate politely and told her that he could treat her to a meal at any time, which seemed to be no problem.
This is just the most basic way to make friends, there is no special meaning, it is much better than those situations where you are rejected as soon as you open your mouth. If you are rejected directly, there will be no contact, but if there is mutual effort, maybe it will last a long time.
Therefore, Xu Xi quickly accepted the suggestion of "I will provide you with drawing ideas, and you treat me to a meal."
"Sure." Xu Xi took a bite of the cold dish, feeling a little calmer. She told herself not to rush things, as there was still a lot of time to go.
During the whole process of eating breakfast, they chatted about some daily topics.
During this process, Xu Xi learned that Chen Shuning usually cooked for himself and would only eat out when he was busy or tired from work. For example, this morning he was in a hurry to go out for the re-examination, so he didn't want to cook for himself and just went out to eat.
Xu Xi listened silently, suddenly feeling a little guilty. She couldn't cook. She really couldn't. When she was in school, she ate her parents' cooking. When she was in college, she went to the cafeteria. When she was working, she ate in the company cafeteria, or ate takeout or instant noodles. Thinking about the two packets of instant noodles she crushed before her rebirth, she felt a little ashamed of herself. She had never had a proper meal she cooked herself.
The only thing she had ever cooked was instant noodles with an egg or a handful of vegetables. It was as simple as that. She didn't even know how much water to use when cooking white rice.
Rather than being a money-making machine, she is more of an idiot in life.
Xu Xi blinked her bright eyes, a hint of admiration in them that she couldn't hide, and then she couldn't help but say, "You're amazing! You can even cook for yourself."
Is it great to be able to cook?
Chen Shuning was stunned for a moment before chuckling. "I can only cook, not that great."
Xu Xi was halfway through a mouthful of noodles when she looked up, wondering if Chen Shuning thought she was complimenting her without a second thought. No, she wasn't. Although cooking might be a simple task, she really couldn't do it.
How about explaining it? She wasn't just exaggerating; she really thought being able to cook was a great skill.
She swallowed the noodles in her mouth, feeling guilty about not being able to cook, and told Chen Shuning, "I really think it's amazing because I can't even cook."
Chen Shuning glanced at her and asked casually, "You can't cook?"
"..." Xu Xi blinked, a question in her mind: would this be a deduction for her pursuit of Chen Shuning? The thought suddenly made her feel anxious, as if the previous explanation had been a complete trap for her. But what could she do? She really couldn't cook.
Although I don’t know it now, there’s still time to learn it later, right?
In a desperate situation, Xu Xi said what was on her mind, and her tone was like, "I promise I will never let you cook in the future."
"I will learn it later." She will not only learn how to cook, but also learn many small things in life.
Chen Shuning just frowned at Xu Xi in confusion, and after about a second, she suddenly laughed out loud.
"It doesn't matter if you can't cook. Your significant other will be able to cook in the future."
Xu Xi, however, felt that this was not possible. "You still have to learn, otherwise when you have a partner in the future, your partner will be tired."
Chen Shuning added a piece of cold dish to his meal, with a faint smile on his face, and brought up the next topic at the right time.
"So how do you plan to learn? Do you want to figure it out on your own or take a class?"
Xu Xi paused for a moment, wondering if she should enroll in a class. She hadn't considered the idea before, but when the topic suddenly arose today, she realized she was completely clueless. But if she did, it felt like it wasn't worth it to enroll in a class just for everyday home cooking. It wasn't like she was going to get a chef's license or anything like that. She thought to herself, maybe she could just go back and learn from her dad for a while...
As soon as this idea came to her mind, she quickly rejected it, because if she went home, she would definitely have to face her parents' urging to get married, or she would be lectured by them about the last time she told the secret.
Never mind, this won’t work.
Figure it out on your own? That would waste a lot of ingredients, so that doesn’t seem to be an option either.
Xu Xi sighed silently in her heart. "I don't know. I'll ask my friends around me someday to see how they learned to cook."
"That's fine." Chen Shuning's tone was calm and natural.
Xu Xi put a mouthful of cold dish into her mouth. When she raised her eyes, she saw Chen Shuning looking at her. She blinked and her brain suddenly reacted.
Can she learn to cook from Chen Shuning?
