An Youhe seemed angry and didn't seem inclined to pay him any attention.
There's nothing you can do; you have to appease yourself if you make yourself angry.
Did you make a lot of noodles yesterday? Are there any left?
Ye Zhou asked humbly, "If there's any leftover, I deserve to eat some leftover rice."
The girl had her back to Ye Zhou, and she was busy working with heavy breathing.
"We've finished eating."
"You ate all of this?"
"I didn't finish eating last night, so I reheated it this morning." Her soft voice carried a hint of grievance and helplessness.
Ye Zhou was filled with regret. If he had woken up earlier today, he might have been able to eat a cold meal.
He glanced at the clock in the store; there were still ten minutes until he closed.
He walked over and took the warm hand of the girl who was still arranging goods.
"Let's go to the mall to buy some things. I'll cook for you today."
An Youhe blinked her big eyes, "But it's not time to get off work yet."
Ye Zhou smiled and said, "It's okay, a few minutes is fine. Let's go, time to go home!"
The two arrived at the department store, and Ye Zhou pushed a small cart.
He suddenly realized that besides knowing that An Youhe liked tomato and egg noodles, he didn't know any other preferences of hers.
"What do you like to eat? I'll buy some ingredients."
An Youhe lowered her head slightly to hide the blush on her face.
Even after leaving the supermarket, the two of them hadn't let go of each other's hands.
Ye Zhou would sometimes rub her palms, and her palms would always feel a strange, itchy sensation.
"Hmm?" Ye Zhou rubbed the girl's palm again.
An Youhe blushed and said, "Anything is fine, I'm fine with anything."
Being with Ye Zhou, I'd be happy even if we ate wild vegetables every day.
"Tsk, this is really difficult for me. I don't know what to buy. We'll be hungry at noon. Quickly use your clever little brain and think of something to eat!"
"Then, braised pork is fine too."
"Do you like braised pork?" Ye Zhou asked the girl.
"Yes, I like it. I had a feast back in my hometown before, and the braised pork was delicious."
Freeing his hand from the shopping cart, Ye Zhou ruffled the girl's hair and said affectionately, "Okay, I happen to be good at making braised pork. Since you like it, I'll make it for you often from now on, okay?"
“Okay, okay,” An Youhe replied softly.
With a goal in mind, shopping went very smoothly.
I picked out a piece of pork belly with a good balance of fat and lean meat, and then bought a bunch of sauces and seasonings from the condiment section, as well as some green vegetables as side dishes to cut through the richness.
In his previous life, Ye Zhou always cooked for himself because he couldn't get used to takeout. He wanted to cook whatever he wanted to eat, and gradually he developed excellent cooking skills.
Although An Youhe's rented room is small, it has all the necessary amenities.
After opening the door, Ye Zhou placed a large bag of ingredients next to the sink and rolled up his sleeves, ready to get started.
We must show An Youhe the strength of a good family man!
"Take a break, I'll be done in a minute."
Before Ye Zhou could finish speaking, the girl had already run over and stood next to the sink.
"I, I'll wash the vegetables."
"You've been working all morning, aren't you going to take a break?"
"I'm not tired."
As An Youhe spoke, she took the vegetables out of the plastic bag and rinsed them under the tap.
Ye Zhou curled his lips into a smile, and his eyes involuntarily narrowed. "You're so good, I'll reward you with a kiss."
As he spoke, Ye Zhou leaned forward and moved closer to the girl.
The girl's long eyelashes trembled incessantly; the flame in her heart, which had been burning and then extinguished since yesterday, was now reignited.
An Youhe casually licked the corner of her pink lips and gently moved closer to the boy's cheek.
They turned their heads unexpectedly, and their lips touched.
A soft feeling.
The girl's body trembled slightly, and she blushed as she moved away.
Ye Zhou liked her reaction; her eyebrows twitched as if they were about to dance.
"This is also your reward to me."
"Ye, Ye Zhou, bad," the girl muttered.
...
It was still the middle of summer, and there was no fan in the rented room. Luckily, it was on the shady side. If I didn't do anything and just lay there without moving, it would be fine.
If you were cooking and turning on the stove, things would be completely different. The spatula was stirring the food, and sweat was dripping down Ye Zhou's forehead.
But Ye Zhou didn't care at all. He casually wiped his sweat and continued to stir-fry the vegetables with the spatula.
In such a short time, I wonder where An Youhe has gone.
Just as Ye Zhou was having some doubts.
The door opened.
The girl outside the door brought in a rather large fan.
"It's windy and hot."
As she spoke, she carried the fan to a spot slightly next to the induction cooker, directly facing Ye Zhou, and then turned it on.
Once turned on, the fan started whirring.
It definitely felt much cooler after the fan was turned on.
Ye Zhou was stir-frying vegetables with one hand, feeling the cool breeze from the fan.
"You won't be staying here for long, school will start soon, it's not worth buying a fan now."
Ye Zhou spoke the truth, adding that the hottest weather was already over, and it wouldn't be as hot afterward. Even if you bought it now, you wouldn't be able to enjoy it for more than a few days.
"It's hot, it's been hot lately, I bought this to cool off."
The girl's forehead was covered in sweat, and she was panting heavily. The collar of her white short-sleeved shirt was soaked with sweat, indicating that she must have run back while holding a fan.
I didn't see Anyou buy a fan during the hottest period of time, and yesterday was also a very hot day.
An You must sweat like this when she cooks at home, right? It was quite hot yesterday, so I didn't buy anything, but now that it's Ye Zhou's turn to cook, I'm buying it.
Beads of sweat trickled down the girl's forehead. She stood by the fan, smiling blankly, while the fan blew towards Ye Zhou.
It's as if she herself blew it up.
Ye Zhou couldn't stand it anymore; this silly girl.
He freed his left hand and put his arm around the girl's shoulder, pulling An Youhe closer to him. His eyes were fixed on the wok, while his other hand continued to stir-fry the food methodically.
"Come with me and get some fresh air. If you get heatstroke, I'll give you ten minutes of CPR."
The girl's arms were close to Ye Zhou's waist; she could easily reach out and wrap her arms around his waist.
Upon smelling Ye Zhou's pleasant scent, An Youhe couldn't help but close her eyes.
Now that the wind is blowing, my face feels even hotter, and my heart is beating faster.
No, I have to hold it in and not faint.
If Ye Zhou were to actually give me ten minutes of artificial respiration, that would be terrifying.
She would really die if she did that.
"Can you smell the aroma? The braised pork is ready," Ye Zhou reminded him softly.
An Youhe turned to look at the braised pork in the pot, its color vibrant and its aroma rich. Her eyes were almost glued to the soft, chewy pieces of meat with their caramelized color.
It looks even better than the braised pork I've had at banquets.
The girl silently swallowed.
