[Major update, viewers must read here: Chapters 11, 19, and 71 have updated the character illustrations of Xila, Phoebe, and Caixiang, remember to check it out!]
The two were talking when suddenly they heard footsteps coming from the main door.
Caixiang turned her head away with an unconvinced look on her face, while Dongfang Shengyue's eyes were calm and she was not affected by Caixiang at all.
"Come, let's have lunch together. Caixing and I made some delicious food, it's a good time for you to try it." As Wu Jie said this, he brought the dishes to the table.
Caixing took this opportunity to get in front of Caixing and whispered something.
Hearing Caixing's words, Caixiang's eyes widened slightly, and she was a little bit unbelieving for a moment:
"Eh—really?"
Caixiang was surprised at first, but then her joy was beyond words. However, she tried her best to restrain herself, only because she felt a little ashamed that she had been cursing Wu Jie before and now got Wu Jie's help.
She hesitated and wanted to go up and thank him, but stopped herself. Her face flushed, but she didn't know what to do.
Caught in a dilemma, she was unable to take that step towards Wu Jie.
Caixing sighed slightly, walked behind her sister, and gently pushed her on the back.
Just like that, Caixiang was pushed forward by Caixing.
Wu Jie just put down the food, turned around, and met Caixiang's eyes.
Wu Jie was a little surprised: "What?"
"Thank you...thank you...Sir..."
The sound is like the humming of summer insects. The notes are clear, but they are always intermittent and unclear.
Caixiang is unable to speak out not because of shyness, but because of the self-guilt in her heart.
[It would be better if the stinky guy fell into the toilet and stank to death... Stink, rot, hum!] This was what Caixiang had said to curse Wu Jie before.
Caixiang felt so strongly guilty at the moment that she was unable to speak and her face turned red with shame.
But in the eyes of others...
Dongfang Shengyue took a step forward, standing in front of Caixiang, and said to Caixiang, "You are no match for me in your current state."
"Who, who said it wasn't!" Caixiang was stimulated by Shengyue, snorted, walked around Shengyue and came to Wu Jie, mustered up the courage, and spoke loudly.
"Thank you, sir!"
That's right. After all, Wu Jie might be her future commander, so there's nothing wrong with calling him "sir" in advance.
After saying this, I felt like a deflated ball. I finally expressed my gratitude. I never thought that I would be so conflicted in my life.
She pressed her chest, which seemed to be filled with something.
Of course, Wu Jie saw her entire performance. When she said this, Wu Jie felt like he was electrocuted all over.
"Hiss~"
He didn't gasp because he felt uncomfortable, but because of Caixiang's performance. Her awkward expression didn't make her look vulgar at all, and her difficulty in speaking made her look more innocent and pure.
It is like the rising sun on the snowy mountains in winter. It is cold, but it warms people's hearts.
Wu Jie blushed for the first time and scratched his head. For the first time, he didn't dare to meet Caixiang's eyes. He slightly avoided her pupils and coughed before saying:
"Well, it's nothing, just a small favor."
With these words, the atmosphere became quiet for a moment.
…
Caixing gently wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes, but she did not explain anything and pulled the two of them to the dining table.
"Okay, okay, time to eat!"
"By the way, Miss Shengyue, would you like to have dinner together?"
Cai Xing's voice, without a trace of hostility, made Dongfang Shengyue look sideways slightly.
"You can't see through me, so give up."
After saying this, Shengyue walked to the dining table and sat down.
Caixing couldn't help but shudder...
"It's delicious... Is this the boss's cooking?" Caixiang was in a good mood at the moment and her appetite was also great.
Wu Jie smiled slightly and turned his eyes to Cai Xing: "It's not me, it's Cai Xing."
Cai Xing chuckled and said, "Sister, I made the cream stew you just had. The bacon and eggs and the cold broccoli were both made by Commander Wu!"
"Really?"
Caixiang glanced at the bacon and egg omelette and cold broccoli in front of her, gently cut a small piece with a table knife, and slowly put it into her mouth.
As I chewed slowly, the rich aroma of oil instantly engulfed my taste buds, just like the taste of sitting in front of a campfire and frying delicious food together with friends at summer camp.
Although it contains oil, it is not greasy, and the crispy and soft texture has a lingering chewy texture.
Suddenly her eyes lit up, and she exclaimed in amazement, "It's oily but not greasy, and the heat is just right. The aroma of the oil is so delicious that it leaves a lasting impression. This, this is actually the commander's cooking skills!"
After hearing this, Sheng Yue picked up a piece with chopsticks with an expressionless face. Although it looked very beautiful, she tore off a piece from it with her mouth without caring about her eating manners.
“…”
"?"
“!”
First there was silence, then confusion, and then pupils dilated!
Then Dongfang Shengyue was seen eating the bacon and eggs clean in no time, and even glanced at the bacon and eggs on other people's plates.
Wu Jie suddenly felt cold and stammered, "Well, if you don't mind, you can eat mine. I still have a portion of lunch that Xila left for me. It's enough for me."
Dongfang Shengyue hesitated for a moment and was about to shake her head to refuse, but she saw Wu Jie take the initiative to push his bacon and eggs in front of her.
She swallowed her saliva for a rare moment because she found that Wu Jie had already eaten a small piece of the bacon.
Then her eyes involuntarily turned to Wu Jie.
"What, what..." Wu Jie felt a little cold when he was stared at by her.
Caixing was the first to notice something was wrong and muttered, "Sir, she's looking at your lips..."
"Huh? Lips? What's so good about a mouth?" Wu Jie felt confused.
"Hmph, blockhead!" Caixing was too lazy to say anything else and immersed herself in enjoying the food.
But then her eyes also had little stars, and she gently covered her right cheek and said, "Sir, why don't I come to your house often to eat for free in the future, and I will help you!"
"ha?"
Wu Jie is really numb...
In this way, Wu Jie's peaceful and happy time finally returned.
Well, it's only temporary.
"Woo - I can finally have a good rest. Ah, my lovely bed, my dear bed, my favorite bed, it's so comfortable!" Wu Jie couldn't help rolling around on the bed and soon fell asleep on it.
However, in the last moment before closing his eyes, Wu Jie seemed to see a figure.
But Wu Jie was so sleepy that he could only watch the figure gradually fall asleep. As for who that person was, did it matter?
It must be very important, but Wu Jie definitely won't be able to see that person at this time.
