sweet and spicy
Chen Shuning was stunned for a moment. "Thank you."
Xu Xi smiled and continued chatting. "When the jasmine flowers bloom, you can pick them and make jasmine syrup, or use them to make tea or wine."
Chen Shuning listened to Xu Xi listing so many things that jasmine can be used for and asked, "What do you use your jasmine flowers for when they bloom?"
What is it used for?
Xu Xi was stunned by the question, because she only grew jasmine flowers for the scent and never thought of using them to make food or drink. However, this was mostly because she was so focused on her work that she had no interest in anything else, including cooking, beauty care, and self-care. In the craziest time before her rebirth, she still disliked her long hair because it took too much time to wash it, so she cut it short.
Thinking back, I was pretty crazy about money back then.
But now it’s different. After her rebirth, she decided to slow down her pace and enjoy life. She also tasted jasmine-flavored coffee, so she thought of using it to make tea or wine.
Xu Xi spoke frankly. "I hadn't thought of using it to make tea before. I simply loved the fragrance of the flowers when they bloom. It's really nice. Then I drank jasmine-flavored coffee at your house, and then I remembered that jasmine flowers can be used to make tea or wine."
Seeing Chen Shuning remained silent, Xu Xi assumed she didn't believe him. After all, there weren't many people like her who could forget everything about life and focus solely on work. So Xu Xi explained again.
"I mean, there are a lot of jasmine drinks on the market, but I never thought that the jasmine flowers I grow myself could one day be made into jasmine syrup."
"That's for freshening the air."
"Yeah." Xu Xi nodded. It was understandable that way.
The two chatted casually, and Xu Xi went to a supermarket according to the route Chen Shuning said.
She gently pushed the shopping cart and walked beside Chen Shuning. Now was a good opportunity to find out what kind of food Chen Shuning liked to eat. Xu Xi turned her head and wanted to ask Chen Shuning what he liked to eat, but at this moment, Chen Shuning was also asking herself.
Xu Xi: "What do you like to eat?"
Chen Shuning: "What do you like to eat?"
When the two people saw each other asking this question in tacit understanding, they were stunned for a moment, and then answered with a smile at the same time.
"It will be all right."
"It will be all right."
Chen Shuning was the first to burst out laughing. She simply offered a choice. "Do you eat beef? If so, we'll stir-fry it later."
Xu Xi agreed without hesitation. "Okay."
Then I took the initiative to tell him what I like to eat, hoping that the other person would also take the initiative to tell me.
"I like braised prawns in oil, slightly spicy. By the way, do you like spicy food?"
Of course she knew that Xu Xi liked slightly spicy food.
Chen Shuning looked at her sideways, a faint smile playing on his lips. The taste of his memory resurfaced in his mind: one summer in junior high, after gym class, everyone was eating popsicles and ice cream to cool down, but the person in front of him was eating spicy noodles under a big tree with a "s ...
So that summer, she kissed this girl for the first time. It was spicy, not too spicy, but the sweet and spicy kind. The taste is still lingering in her memory.
It was just that she was very flustered at the time and didn't understand why she wanted to kiss a girl. So later, she ran away, and before Xu Xi could see her clearly, she ran away in a panic.
However, she didn't expect that after that kiss, she couldn't help but keep paying attention to the girl she kissed. However, it seemed that the other party could never see her.
Chen Shuning lowered his eyes slightly, withdrawing his thoughts from the past. He softly replied to Xu Xi, "I like it. I like it slightly spicy, too."
"That's great, we have similar tastes then."
Xu Xi was secretly delighted to hear such a satisfying answer. Since their tastes were similar, there wouldn't be too many requirements when it came to cooking. Xu Xi could even imagine how harmonious their relationship would be if they were together.
Xu Xi felt very happy when she thought of this, so she added, "Then how about we add a braised prawn dish tonight?"
Chen Shuning nodded with a gentle smile on his face.
"Okay." Make a braised prawn with oil, slightly spicy.
When Xu Xi went out today, she really didn't expect to go to the supermarket and buy groceries with Chen Shuning. From the time she met Chen Shuning until now, it seemed like everything happened too fast, so fast that she couldn't believe that only two days had passed.
This gave Xu Xi an indescribable illusion, as if for others, pursuing someone seemed to be a process of hard work, but when she wanted to pursue Chen Shuning, it seemed as if she could directly enter a state of "being together".
