"I can smell it, you're stewing chicken!"
Xia Wenxi sniffed and smelled a familiar scent.
"Hmm, it's been a while since I made this. I still have some of the ingredients I brought back last time, so I'm planning to make it again. But the chicken was bought from the market, so I don't know if it will taste any different."
While the pot was simmering, Lin Shen planned to stir-fry two more vegetarian dishes. Xia Wenxi, like a well-behaved little fish, kept circling around Lin Shen.
Not knowing what to do, I opened each cabinet and looked around, and then rummaged through the refrigerator.
Finally, she pulled out a box of ice cream, her favorite matcha flavor.
Xia Wenxi opened the ice cream and gave the first spoonful to Lin Shen.
"Thank you for cooking, Mr. Lin. Here's a treat of ice cream as a reward."
Lin Shen put down the knife and ate. Xia Wenxi had only put the second spoonful in her mouth when Lin Shen glanced at the spoon, but Xia Wenxi didn't notice. She looked at the tomatoes on the cutting board and asked, "Tomato and egg stir-fry?"
Lin Shen nodded in agreement.
"These are all dishes that go well with rice. Today it's my turn to eat three bowls of rice."
After saying that, she remembered that Lin Shen didn't know what the "three bowls of rice" joke meant, so she also told him about Xia Wensheng's embarrassing incident.
Lin Shen laughed after hearing this and told Xia Wenxi, "Hearing this, it's just like my second brother. Every time he goes to my second sister-in-law's house, they will cook an extra pot of rice, just in case he doesn't have enough to eat."
"It's amazing that you can find the same thing here."
There are two such talented people; we should introduce them to each other in the future.
Lin Shen glanced at the ice cream in Xia Wenxi's hand again, and suddenly remembered something, reminding her, "Eat less ice cream, your period is coming soon."
Xia Wenxi, with a mouthful of ice cream, asked in surprise, "How did you know when my period is?"
"I guessed." Lin Shen said, then turned around to crack the eggs.
"You can guess that? I don't believe it." Xia Wenxi leaned closer to him, squeezing her head between the table and Lin Shen's body, looking up at his expression. "How did you guess?"
This posture... Lin Shen didn't say anything, but instead leaned down and kissed Xia Wenxi before slowly explaining to her.
"Because there are always a few days every month when you tell me you don't want to study anymore, that you can't keep studying, and the time is very fixed every month."
"Really?"
Xia Wenxi straightened up, took out her phone, and searched for chat history in WeChat using keywords. Surprisingly, it was true!
"But there are still two days left. It's already open, so it would be a waste not to eat."
Who can resist eating a matcha-flavored ice cream in a warm, heated room on winter's day?
Lin Shen pretended not to understand that she was just being greedy and went along with her, saying, "It's okay, it won't be a waste. Just cover the rest and put it back in the refrigerator. I'll eat it."
This box of ice cream is quite large; it would be too much to eat the whole thing, which is why Lin Shen said that. But unfortunately, this brand and flavor no longer have smaller packages available, so this is the only one he can buy.
"Sweetie, dinner's almost ready."
"All right……"
Xia Wenxi glanced at the fragrant pot again and finally agreed to give up the ice cream, but before putting it back in the refrigerator, she couldn't resist taking a big bite.
As a result, she was too greedy for the last bite, and it was so cold that her teeth ached. However, she was too stubborn to let Lin Shen see that, so she could only endure it.
But how could you not see that...?
Lin Shen was both amused and exasperated. He pulled the person to the trash can and said, "If you can't eat, just throw it up."
Xia Wenxi shook her head. It was already half dissolved. Just hang in there a little longer. What would she look like if she threw it up? She was very conscious of her image, you know.
"Okay, there are ways to avoid vomiting."
After Lin Shen finished speaking, he gently lifted Xia Wenxi's chin with his right hand and lowered his head to kiss her.
As a result, Xia Wenxi got nervous and swallowed the ice cream that she had just felt cold in one gulp, the coldness going down her throat and all the way to her esophagus. Furious, she stomped on Lin Shen's foot.
The result of stepping on someone is that they are lifted into the air and can only cling to them like a sloth.
The breath grew increasingly hot... I could no longer tell whose breath it was.
After they separated, Xia Wenxi still clung to Lin Shen, her right arm around his neck for support, and her left hand patting his shoulder, reminding him, "Check the pot, don't let it burn."
Xia Wenxi thought she would be put down after she finished speaking, but she didn't expect to be carried over to look at the pot like this.
When she lifted the lid, she could feel the heat, as if she was about to step into the pot, which made her tighten her legs in fear.
Then they heard Lin Shen chuckle softly.
"I knew you were doing this on purpose!" Xia Wenxi said, then turned and kissed Lin Shen on the neck, and then felt a hand tighten on her leg.
All right……
She really just said it casually, with absolutely no intention of flirting, but based on her extensive experience reading countless articles, biting someone's neck is an extremely dangerous act.
In most novels, when the story reaches this point, the male and female protagonists are about to die.
"Lin Shen, calm down."
Don't do anything that will prevent the anime from airing!
"I'm going to the restroom, haha."
After being put down, Xia Wenxi immediately slipped to the toilet, perfectly embodying the phrase "flirt and run".
When she came out of the bathroom, the scrambled eggs with tomatoes were already cooked. Xia Wenxi realized she had done something "wrong" and took the initiative to help serve the rice, get the chopsticks, and serve the dishes.
Lin Shen found her attentive manner somewhat amusing.
He shook his head inwardly; Wenxi was clearly testing his patience. He'd lived a life of quiet detachment until he was almost thirty, but after meeting Wenxi, these days had become unbearable.
However, it can also be considered a sweet "challenge".
Feeling guilty, Xia Wenxi spent the entire dinner time showering Lin Shen with compliments, hoping to make him feel emotionally valued.
"Wow! This scrambled eggs with tomatoes is amazing! Every piece of egg is infused with the sweet and sour taste of tomatoes. They are a perfect match! Just like Xia Wenxi and Lin Shen."
"This chicken is the third best dish I've ever eaten in my life. The best one was made by someone named Lin Shen, and the second best one was also made by someone named Lin Shen. You ask who Lin Shen is? He's Xia Wenxi's boyfriend!"
"My God, that Xia Wenxi is the luckiest person in the world! She actually gets to eat Lin Shen's cooking!"
...
Lin Shen's lips hadn't fallen since he sat down at the table. After listening to Xia Wenxi say a few words, he silently reached out and poured her a glass of water, then put the chicken leg on her plate.
"Lucky Miss Xia, hurry up and eat, or the food Lin Shen made will get cold."
"good!"
Lin Shen made dinner early. When Xia Wenxi took Xiaoyuer home after dinner, it was still light out. Lin Shen made dinner so that she could go home early and avoid having to stay up all night if she couldn't finish her studies for the day.
"Don't study too late at night, and don't stay up too late. If we can't meet in person, video calls are fine too. Just follow your own plan. After your exams, I'll take you out to have some fun."
Before getting off the bus, Lin Shen gave Xia Wenxi some instructions.
"Okay... I think the house with the yard is really nice. You can take a look at it when you have time."
