Chapter 427 Extra - Able to Bend and Stretch
Chen Song suppressed a hint of displeasure, his eyes and brows still cool: "How long have you been here?"
"After the New Year," Xiao Miao explained earnestly and respectfully, "I just occupy the space in the second bedroom, and then help Ashi take care of her flowers and plants, and clean the house in my spare time."
"Only the second bedroom?" Chen Song narrowed his eyes.
A faint aroma of food began to fill the air, like congee but with a hint of something else.
Overall, it's quite fragrant.
It even aroused Chen Song's craving.
He peeked inside, and just as he was about to speak, a flash of yellow quickly drifted into the kitchen: "I'm cooking porridge, boss, take care!"
Chen Song: "..."
Slow down? You'd be crazy!
He stepped into the entryway and closed the door behind him.
The sound of the door slamming shut made Xiao Miao breathe a sigh of relief: "Nice!"
The boss left, and she was free again. She couldn't help but hum a song: "La la la, la la la, I'm a little expert at selling newspapers, I go out to deliver them before dawn, calling out as I go... Ah!!"
She was humming a song happily when she turned around and bumped into a solid chest, and her whole soul almost ran away in fright!
"Boss! You left, didn't you...?"
Xiao Miao took two steps back, staring at the man in front of her in shock.
Chen Song narrowed his eyes: "Didn't you say you only needed the second bedroom?"
Xiao Miao was stunned for a moment, a hint of displeasure flashing in her eyes. This boss was far too heartless.
First of all, the house isn't his. Secondly, with that meager salary, he can't even let her cook for herself? How can she support herself if she eats out every day?
"I always clean the kitchen after I use it..."
Chen Song wasn't concerned about that. His gaze fell on the porridge simmering in the white porcelain pot, and he gently sniffed it: "What kind of porridge?"
The aroma of vegetables, white rice, shredded meat, preserved eggs, and shrimp blends together... It looks quite appetizing.
"Just some congee with preserved egg and lean pork..."
The porridge has come to a boil, and now it's time to simmer and enhance the aroma. With the lid off, the rich fragrance naturally fills the entire kitchen.
Chen Song swallowed hard: "I cooked so much, can you finish it all?"
"You underestimate me!"
Xiao Miao couldn't stand it when others questioned her food or her appetite, so she immediately straightened her back and puffed out her chest. A hint of pride flashed in her big eyes behind her glasses: "My porridge is so delicious, I can eat two pots!"
Chen Song: "..."
This doesn't seem to be the answer I'm looking for.
He immediately clutched his chest, a troubled expression on his face: "You were way too strong, you bumped into me and my chest hurts..."
Xiao Miao blinked: "No way, boss, you're so weak for your size? I thought you were the kind of muscular guy with eight-pack abs and a V-line!"
Chen Song coughed forcefully a few times, his face turning as black as hell.
"It's because you're too strong! You're too powerful!"
Xiao Miao pursed her lips and thought to herself: It's really not gentlemanly to comment on a female subordinate's figure to her face!
"Well... I'm sorry." Xiao Miao bowed deeply in apology.
When you're under someone's roof, you have to bow your head!
I'm truly a model of being able to bend and stretch!
Xiao Miao even gave herself a thumbs up.
Chen Song glanced at the pot of porridge again out of the corner of his eye: "If you feel guilty, give me a bowl of your porridge. If it tastes good, I will forgive you for now and allow you to use this kitchen."
A look of confusion crossed Xiao Miao's big eyes, followed by surprise, and then understanding.
"oh……"
Just then, her phone alarm went off. Xiao Miao stepped forward to turn off the stove, then quickly stirred the porridge in the pot with a spoon, making the rich aroma even more fragrant and tempting.
Chen Song glanced at it a couple more times before leaving the kitchen nonchalantly.
The huge house seemed no different from when Ah-Shi lived there before, but upon closer inspection, there were some subtle yet noticeable changes.
For example, there are several extra plush toys in various parts of the room and books placed on the corners of various tables.
Book……
Chen Song was quite surprised; Xiao Miao didn't seem like a bookworm at all.
He casually walked to the coffee table and flipped through some books: "365 Home-Style Stir-Fries," "Selected Home-Style Dishes," "A Bite of China"...
The next stack included titles like "The Overbearing CEO Falls in Love with Me," "Transmigrating into a Book: Eating, Sleeping, and Lazing Around," and "I Conquered the Arrogant Boss with Food"...
Chen Song frowned. What kind of nonsense is this?!
There isn't a single book about work!
He was flipping through the book with a look of disgust when a gust of wind suddenly came from behind him, and a yellow figure swept past quickly. In a moment, his fingertips were empty.
There was no trace of any books left on the table beside me.
Xiao Miao quickly and efficiently gathered all the books piled up in various places into the second bedroom, a feat that impressed Chen Song.
"Next time the company organizes a sports meet, you can represent the secretariat in the 800-meter race."
Xiao Miao said without batting an eye, "Boss, didn't you want some porridge? Here you go!"
Chen Song got up and walked gracefully to the dining table. In addition to the porridge, there was a small dish of pickled vegetables and a dish of cold shredded vegetables in his sight.
He raised an eyebrow: "What's this?"
"Try this pickled cabbage shreds, it's super delicious."
Chen Song nodded, gracefully picked up a piece of shredded cabbage with his chopsticks, put it in his mouth and chewed for a moment. It was sour, spicy, sweet and crunchy.
He raised an eyebrow slightly, a hint of satisfaction appearing in his eyes. Not bad.
Seeing that he didn't seem disgusted, Xiao Miao breathed a sigh of relief and sat down opposite him, reminding him expectantly, "Porridge~"
Chen Song took another sip of the porridge, savoring its delicious and fragrant flavor. Despite the abundance of ingredients, each one was perfectly balanced in flavor.
He nodded: "It's barely acceptable."
Xiao Miao smiled and said, "Then from now on, this kitchen..."
"Use it." Chen Song didn't want to make things difficult for her. If she brought up Chen Shi again later, he would inevitably be ridiculed by A Shi again.
He might have to apologize to her then.
Chen Song was already a bit hungry, and with delicious food in front of him, he didn't care about anything else and waved his hand, "Eat up."
Xiao Miao nodded: "Okay."
Although the big boss is sitting across from me, she's the one who cooked this meal and lives in this house, so she's the real owner.
With that thought in mind, Xiao Miao began to eat her porridge with great relish.
Although she ate very quietly and didn't wolf down her food, Xiao Miao had already gone to get a second bowl of porridge when Chen Song had only eaten more than half of it.
Chen Song suddenly realized: We can't show weakness!
So he quickly finished his bowl, went to the kitchen to get another bowl, and sped up his eating!
Neither of them spoke, and they ate in silence. Xiao Miao ate her own food, while Chen Song ate his own food while watching Xiao Miao. Finally, when they finished their second bowl, they both got up at the same time.
Chen Song was very happy.
At least in terms of eating speed, he didn't lose!
Xiao Miao looked up at him, a hint of surprise in her eyes: "Boss, are you full?"
