When she got home, she looked at the empty living room and thought about the takeout Yao Ge had eaten yesterday. After hesitating for a while, she decided to make two servings.
"I'm going to make my signature dish this time. I don't believe he won't be tempted!"
She wasn't trying to please him, but she was cooking anyway so she helped Yao Ge out as well, so it would be nice to improve his favor.
After all, they didn't charge her rent, so it was still a good deal just to make dinner.
Seeing that it was only six o'clock, Tang Manxing tuned up some gentle classical music and began to prepare the dishes.
As she hummed happily, the food had unknowingly started to be stir-fried in the pan.
Soon the fragrant aroma of braised pork filled the kitchen. Tang Manxing smelled the aroma and was drooling at his own cooking skills.
I’m so hungry!
She stared at the braised pork cooking in the pot.
After the meal was ready, she took off her apron and was about to call Yao Ge.
His door suddenly opened at this moment.
Tang Manxing saw that he was at home and asked politely.
"Would you like to eat with me, Yao Ge? My cooking is delicious!"
Yao Ge originally refused, but after smelling the braised pork in the air, he felt a little hesitant.
She looked at Yao Ge who had a hesitant look and continued.
"I just happened to have something to tell you. How about eating what I cooked today?"
Yao Ge looked at him with a cold face several times, but Tang Manxing still invited him, so he finally sat over.
"Um."
In the end, taste buds triumph over reason.
Tang Manxing watched as the difficult-to-talk Yao Ge successfully agreed, and couldn't help but feel proud of her eloquence.
Fearing that he might change his mind, I quickly added more rice to the bowl in front of him.
"Eat quickly, eat quickly, and then we'll talk."
After she said that, she quickly picked up a piece of braised pork and put it into her mouth.
“It’s so delicious, how can it be so delicious?”
She narrowed her eyes in satisfaction and took another mouthful of rice.
Yao Ge on the opposite side looked at Tang Manxing who was bragging and suddenly doubted whether the dish was delicious.
But it smells and looks good.
Finally, he picked up a piece under Tang Manxing's expectant gaze.
“It tastes good.”
Although his tone was calm, people who knew him well would understand that this was already a very high evaluation from him.
He usually doesn't express his opinions.
He didn't expect that Tang Manxing, who was so young, had cooking skills comparable to those of a five-star chef from a restaurant he often ordered from.
"Haha, as long as it's not bad."
Tang Manxing was satisfied with the affirmation and continued to eat.
I don’t know if it was because they were dining together, but the two of them finished all the dishes, and it seemed that they were both full to varying degrees.
Tang Manxing looked at Yao Ge who had eaten four bowls of rice, and finally believed that he really thought her cooking skills were good.
"Now that we're done eating, let me tell you what I want to discuss."
She simply pushed the bowl aside and continued speaking under Yao Ge's gaze.
"After all, I'm going to be using the kitchen for a while, and the things in it are bound to wear out a bit over the past few months, so I figured I'd take responsibility for your dinner."
"Of course you can order anything. I can make anything that's not too difficult."
"What do you think?"
Yao Ge looked at Tang Manxing, who spoke slowly like a little hamster, and agreed to the proposal after hesitating for only a few seconds.
"Sure, I'll pay for the food, water, and electricity, and you'll be in charge of cooking and washing the dishes, how about that?"
He asked tentatively, after all, his requirements were a bit high.
“Absolutely!”
Tang Manxing agreed without thinking, how many bowls could the two of them have.
Besides, the prices here are a bit high. Yao Ge is obviously not short of money. After all, she must have meat every day, and she can't eat much. So it is more cost-effective to wash dishes.
For a moment, both of them felt that they had made a profit.
After the agreement was reached, Yao Ge took a glass of water and returned to the room.
When Tang Manxing heard the sound of the door closing, he couldn't help but look in that direction curiously.
Could it be that Yao Ge is a freelancer?
In just these two days, she seemed to have never seen Yao Ge go out.
Of course, it is also possible that their time is out of sync.
But these things had nothing to do with her. She put away her messy thoughts, cleaned the kitchen, put on her pajamas and went to the bathroom to take a shower.
By the time I had gotten myself ready, it was already 9 o'clock in the evening.
She took the book from yesterday and sat in the living room to continue reading.
She happened to see a plot that was suitable for a drama performance, and she was so inspired that she took off her clothes and went to the floor-to-ceiling window.
He first bowed like a gentleman, then raised his head slightly and looked at the sofa in front of him with a serious expression.
"Dear Miss Alice, I'm so sorry you can't be with my young master."
After she finished speaking, she quickly changed direction and knelt beside the sofa, looking at the place where she had just stood with aggrieved eyes.
"Why? We really love each other."
Tang Manxing looked ahead with tears in her eyes, and she felt very immersed in the situation.
"I'm sorry, Miss Alice, this is the Duke's intention. I have no choice but to stay."
Tang the Butler said this regretfully and gestured behind him.
"No! Let him come to see me! He won't give up on me! No!!"
Tang Alice knelt on the ground, stretching out her hands in despair, as if she were really being dragged away by the guards.
After crying, she tidied her messy hair, stood up and bowed in front of the mirror.
"ah!"
She looked up at Yao Ge standing in the distance and was so scared that she stepped back and leaned against the floor-to-ceiling window.
"You, you didn't sleep."
She spoke with a slight stutter.
She didn't expect Yao Ge to come out at this time. When she thought that Yao Ge might be standing there watching her go crazy for a long time, her whole body turned red from her neck.
"Um."
Yao Ge responded hesitantly. He had originally planned to leave, but he came to get a drink, and because of this dilemma, he stood there in a daze.
"You didn't see anything?"
Tang Manxing asked while suppressing his socially despairing mood.
"No."
Even though the light was dim, Yao Ge could clearly see Tang Manxing's red cheeks.
Somehow he concealed the fact that he had watched the entire process.
Tang Manxing visibly relaxed when he heard this.
"Good night, I'm going back to my room to rest."
She didn't dare to stay any longer, so she quickly finished her words, picked up her things and passed by Yao Ge.
Yao Ge stood there and watched her leave.
I blush really easily.
He couldn't help but sigh inwardly when he thought of Tang Manxing's rosy cheeks. After a few seconds, he turned around and went to the kitchen refrigerator to get a bottle of iced drink he had put there.
Just like that, because of a meal, the two of them gradually got along harmoniously.
Tang Manxing bought the ingredients on her way back from the drama theater, and after cooking, she had dinner with Yao Ge.
Perhaps because she had roommates to keep her company, she felt a little tired these days, but she quickly adapted to the changes in the new environment.
In a blink of an eye, I had been living in Yao Ge's house for almost half a month.
And Yao Ge, the financial sponsor, is not picky about food at all!
After adding WeChat that night, I transferred over 3,000 yuan and noted that the dishes I made could be both meat and vegetables.
Tang Manxing looked at Yao Ge, who was easy to talk to, and no longer minded his dull tone.
I greet Yao Ge enthusiastically every day.
In the past half month, whenever she had free time, she would watch the actors performing on the stage backstage.
She especially cherishes the time she spends learning acting and tries to learn as much as possible.
