Cook
But can she judge that Chen Shuning will not like her in the future based on this alone?
Of course not. Just like she couldn't judge that Chen Shuning liked her just because he taught her how to cook and invited her to his house for coffee.
Xu Xi stopped guessing in her heart. She turned her head and watched Chen Shuning turn around and continue cutting beef, while she also carefully processed the shrimp.
She silently reminded herself in her heart to take it slow, to take everything slowly, and not to back down because of a small thing.
All the ingredients had been processed, washed and cut. Xu Xi stood beside Chen Shuning, watching her cook. Chen Shuning told him which ingredients needed what seasonings, and the order in which to put the ingredients into the wok when cooking.
Xu Xi had never cooked anything like this before in her life. She felt like she had truly learned something new today. It turns out marinating beef requires five or six different seasonings, and braised prawns in oil are so complicated to prepare, yet so simple to make.
Xu Xi stood there with admiration watching Chen Shuning cook. The aroma of the freshly cooked beef with coriander filled the entire kitchen. She couldn't help but sigh:
"It smells so good." If she were at home at this time, her father would be cooking and she would probably have already started to eat secretly.
"It smells good."
Chen Shuning glanced at her and saw her swallowing her saliva. A smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he picked up a small piece of beef and handed it to Xu Xi's mouth.
Xu Xi was stunned, her nervousness reached its peak. Chen Shuning fed her like this?
Chen Shuning's movements were natural, her tone calm, as if feeding someone wasn't a special action. Her relaxed and natural demeanor made Xu Xi relax a lot as well. She thought calmly, maybe this was just Chen Shuning's way of making friends.
Chen Shuning: "Try to see if the salt is enough."
"good."
Xu Xi lowered her eyes slightly, looking at the small piece of beef in front of her. The beef was dark brown, making Chen Shuning's hands look so white and tender. She opened her mouth and took the beef from Chen Shuning without hesitation. The next second, her eyes lit up. The coriander beef was so fragrant and delicious. She couldn't help but praise it.
"Shuning, your cooking is really delicious." Cooking with the person she likes, if she can pursue Chen Shuning in the future, all the dishes she cooks will suit Chen Shuning's taste. Thinking of this, Xu Xi suddenly felt that her proposal to learn cooking from Chen Shuning was a win-win situation.
Xu Xi blinked as she spoke while chewing the beef in her mouth. After swallowing it, she couldn't help but want to eat a second piece, but she knew that she couldn't do that under the circumstances. So she was looking forward to dinner time.
However, Chen Shuning seemed to have a telepathic connection with her and knew that she wanted to eat the second piece. Chen Shuning took the second piece of beef and handed it to Xu Xi.
"Is it really delicious? Then give me another piece."
Xu Xi blinked. It was indeed delicious. She paused, looking at the beef in front of her, and still took it without hesitation. Hesitating for even a second when fed by someone you love is a betrayal of that love. The beef fed by someone you love really tastes different. She chewed the meat in her mouth silently, unable to utter a word, her heart already in a state of disarray. Her ears were already burning.
Seeing that she was eating with gusto, Chen Shuning picked up a piece and put it in his mouth.
Chen Shuning: "Well, it's ready to be served."
The coriander beef was out of the pot. Xu Xi took the dish to the table outside and ran to the living room to relieve herself. She patted her chest gently, stood there and took a deep breath, muttering to herself: Chen Shuning's actions are too provocative...
Xu Xi only stayed in the living room for two minutes. After her nervous mood was relieved, she ran to the kitchen to watch Chen Shuning cook.
She gently pushed open the kitchen door, and Chen Shuning subconsciously turned his head to look at her.
Chen Shuning: "Let's get ready to eat."
"Okay." Xu Xi glanced at the pot. "I'll go get some rice now."
The two finally sat down to eat together. Xu Xi was nervous and happy at the same time. She put her hands on her knees and just watched quietly without picking up her chopsticks. It was hard to tell whether the look in her eyes was love or admiration for Chen Shuning's cooking ability.
Chen Shuning felt his gaze on her, reached out to pick up the chopsticks to eat, and their eyes met.
"Why are you looking at me like that? Eat."
"without."
Xu Xi came back to her senses, smiled awkwardly, and picked up her chopsticks to prepare to eat.
She took a mouthful of rice and couldn't help but say, "Shuning, I think you're amazing."
Chen Shuning smiled faintly. "What's so great about it?"
Xu Xi chewed her meal silently. To her, he seemed to be very good in every aspect. He could make jasmine syrup for coffee, and there was that drawing he had seen earlier, and even the dishes he had cooked today, all of which she couldn't do.
But she didn't want to point them out one by one, so he simply put everything into one sentence.
Xu Xi: "For me, being able to cook is already amazing."
