Chapter 71 Posting on WeChat Moments
She took out her phone and snapped several photos of the delicious food on the table. The angles were perfect, the lighting just right, showcasing the food's irresistible appeal.
She opened her WeChat Moments, selected a few of her best photos, and added captions:
[Today's dinner: Spicy crayfish + dry pot bullfrog + spicy chicken + smashed cucumber + hot and sour noodles. Another day healed by delicious food~]
Click send.
Almost instantly after she posted it, her WeChat Moments exploded with discussion.
The message notification sounds in the comment section started ringing one after another.
Lu Jinyuan: Jiaojiao's cooking looks so delicious! It's a pity I'm not home, otherwise I would definitely eat with you. [Feeling wronged]
Jiang Yi: Sweetie, if you want to eat bullfrog next time, tell me and I'll make it for you. [Smug]
Gu Yanchen: Jiaojiao's cooking skills are getting better and better! Tomorrow I'll have the housekeeper send you some fresh abalone and sea cucumber. Why don't you try making braised abalone? [Spoiling]
Su Jiaojiao looked at the comments from the three big shots in the comment section, and couldn't help but smile slightly. These three big shots really are always trying to make their presence felt.
She was about to reply when she heard the door open.
She frowned in confusion. Who would come at this hour?
She walked to the door and looked through the peephole; there was a person standing outside.
It was actually Lin Xingche
She opened the door, smiling, and asked:
"Xingche? What brings you here?"
Lin Xingche was carrying a fruit basket and had a bright smile on his face.
"Sister, I'm just here to freeload a meal! I knew you cooked too much, so I came here specifically to help you finish some!"
Su Jiaojiao couldn't help but laugh and stepped aside to let him in:
"You're quite in a hurry! Come on in, it's just finished cooking, we're about to start eating."
Lin Xingche carried a fruit basket into the house. As soon as he entered, he was drawn in by the delicious aroma of the food on the table. He took a deep breath and said with a look of pure delight:
"Wow! Jiaojiao, the food you made smells so good! My mouth is watering!"
He put down the fruit basket and strode to the dining table.
Their eyes lit up when they saw the dishes on the table:
"Spicy crayfish! Dry pot bullfrog! Spicy chicken! These are all my favorites! Sister, you're such a kindred spirit!"
Su Jiaojiao smiled and shook her head, then went into the kitchen and took out a set of bowls and chopsticks:
"You're quite impolite."
"Why are you being so polite with me!"
Lin Xingche picked up a pair of chopsticks without any hesitation.
I picked up a crayfish and put it in my mouth.
"Mmm! It's so delicious! It's spicy and flavorful, and the meat is tender and juicy! It's even better than what you get at restaurants!"
He ate while praising it endlessly.
Its mouth was stuffed full, like a little squirrel stealing food.
Su Jiaojiao couldn't help but laugh at his expression. She picked up her chopsticks, took a piece of bullfrog, and put it in her mouth. Crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, spicy and fragrant, the taste was superb.
The two ate and chatted, creating a relaxed and pleasant atmosphere.
Lin Xingche ate while secretly glancing at Su Jiaojiao.
Under the light, Su Jiaojiao's profile was soft, her long eyelashes like two small fans, fluttering gently with each chew. She ate with a refined manner, yet with an indescribable charm.
Lin Xingche's heartbeat quickened involuntarily.
He liked Su Jiaojiao from the first time he saw her. He liked her bright and flamboyant personality, her gentle kindness, her superb cooking skills, and everything about her.
But he knew that Su Jiaojiao was surrounded by many outstanding people—Lu Jinyuan, Jiang Yi, Gu Yanchen—each a renowned and powerful figure. He knew he couldn't compare to them, but he still couldn't help wanting to get closer to her, wanting to be by her side.
Even if it's just being a friend who can have meals with her
He was willing.
Su Jiaojiao was oblivious to Lin Xingche's thoughts; she was focused on enjoying the hot and sour noodles in her bowl. The tangy and spicy broth, the chewy and smooth noodles, topped with crunchy peanuts and fragrant cilantro—it was simply divine.
She took a bite of hot and sour noodles and then a sip of iced plum juice.
He squinted his eyes contentedly
Forget about big shots and missions for now.
In this life, the only thing you should never miss is good food.
Seeing her satisfied expression, Lin Xingche couldn't help but smile. He picked up a bottle of chilled plum juice, unscrewed the cap, and handed it to her.
"Sister, have some plum juice to cool down the spiciness."
"Thank you," Su Jiaojiao said with a smile, taking the plum juice and taking a big gulp.
"You're so thoughtful."
Lin Xingche's cheeks flushed slightly, but his heart felt as sweet as if he had drunk honey.
The two ate and chatted, talking about funny stories from the group broadcast, their recent work, and their favorite foods and movies. Before they knew it, most of the dishes on the table had been eaten.
Lin Xingche patted his round belly and said with a satisfied look:
"Sister, your cooking is so delicious! I haven't eaten this much in ages!"
Su Jiaojiao said with a smile:
"I'm glad you like it. You can come anytime you want to eat it next time."
"Okay!" Lin Xingche's eyes lit up and he nodded quickly.
"Then I won't be so polite next time!"
Su Jiaojiao smiled and nodded.
While she was clearing the dishes, Lin Xingche offered to help. Together, they put the dishes in the dishwasher and cleaned the table. After finishing, Lin Xingche checked the time and said with some reluctance:
"Sister, it's getting late, I should go back."
"Okay," Su Jiaojiao said with a smile as she saw him to the door.
"Bye then."
"Mm," Lin Xingche nodded, turned and left. As he left, he couldn't help but look back one last time. Su Jiaojiao was still standing at the door, waving at him.
His heart was instantly filled with warmth.
Su Jiaojiao watched Lin Xingche's figure disappear before closing the door.
She returned to the living room and collapsed onto the sofa.
He patted his round belly, looking completely satisfied.
