Chapter 589 I wish I could stay in the Shadow Gate forever
Qin Feng saw Zhou Qiao as soon as he entered. This was the first time she had sat properly in front of him since she came to Shadow Gate. She didn't look away from him and instead gave him a dazzling smile: "Master Qin, you're back!"
Qin Feng's heart stirred, and he hummed in agreement, glancing at the table.
There were four dishes and a soup laid out steadily on the table, and it looked quite presentable.
"You...did all of this?" Even though he had heard and seen it, he still couldn't quite believe it.
This girl, if she wasn't terrified of him, why would she suddenly cook for herself?
Zhou Qiao had prepared herself mentally before coming, so she didn't panic when asked the question. Instead, she smiled and said, "Yes, you always asked me if I wanted to have dinner with you. I was hungry tonight, and I figured you probably hadn't eaten either, so I went to the kitchen and made a few dishes. Would you like to try them?"
Qin Feng glanced at her and nodded slightly: "Wait a moment, I'll go change my clothes and wash my hands."
“Okay,” Zhou Qiao said, somewhat obsequiously, “Do you need me to fill the basin with water for you?”
Qin Feng paused for half a second, then coughed lightly and said, "No need, I can do it myself."
Zhou Qiao nodded her head and bowed, saying, "Okay, okay, take care, I'll wait for you!"
Qin Feng paused slightly, as if he wanted to say something, but in the end he didn't say anything.
Watching his back disappear into the distance, Zhou Qiao finally breathed a sigh of relief, rubbing her chest as she sat back down.
It's really not easy to please this big devil and adopt a conciliatory policy towards him!
God knows how much effort she had to exert to resist her panic and stop her legs from trembling when facing him.
Not far away, Zhou Qiao heard Qin Feng's footsteps as he returned. She took a deep breath and thought to herself that she must live up to his expectations and that she should wait until after she finished eating before she started to tremble!
When Qin Feng returned, he had changed into a white loungewear set made of a very soft fabric. With the murderous aura he had carried in the training ground gone, he looked much gentler.
Being with him like this always made Zhou Qiao feel a little more at ease.
She moved the stool next to her: "Come on, Mr. Qin, sit here!"
Qin Feng sat down and glanced at her: "Aren't you going to sit?"
"Ah... sit down, I'll sit down too, hehe..." Zhou Qiao sat down awkwardly, then poured him a glass of wine, and poured one for herself. She then picked up her glass and began to say what she had prepared in her mind all the way: "Master Qin, this is a toast to you! I've been here at Shadow Gate for so many days, and I'm so grateful for your care. You've brought me this and that, afraid I'd be bored... no, afraid I'd be idle. I've received all your concern. Without you, I don't know which street I'd be sleeping on right now. This glass, I'll just drink it casually, you drink it!"
Qin Feng responded with a "Hmm?".
Zhou Qiao realized what was happening and said, "Oh, it's up to you, I'll drink it!"
She tilted her head back to drink the wine, but Qin Feng stopped her: "Don't drink this, just have juice instead."
Zhou Qiao waved her hand and said, "It's alright. I always drank with my grandfather when he was alive. Don't underestimate my drinking capacity, Master Qin!"
She gulped it down in one go, and sure enough, she wiped her lips as if nothing had happened.
Qin Feng: "..."
"Don't just watch, Mr. Qin! Drink some too! We'll eat some dishes after we finish!" Zhou Qiao called out to her.
Looking at her slightly moist lips, Qin Feng's Adam's apple bobbed slightly. He turned his head, raised his glass, and drank his own glass as well.
The wine went down my throat and into my stomach, making me feel warm all over, and even my heart seemed to beat faster than usual.
He looked at Zhou Qiao, his gaze deep: "Aren't you afraid of me anymore?"
Zhou Qiao was busy serving food to Qin Feng when she heard this. She paused for a moment, then smiled and said, "Mr. Qin, look at what you're saying. I was ignorant before, but now I understand. You've taken in so many homeless orphans, you're a true philanthropist! Besides, you founded Shadow Gate, you've got guts! You're not only kind and righteous, but you're also good-looking!"
"Sister Kong is right. I shouldn't be ungrateful. I'm planning to stay here at your Shadow Gate for the rest of my life. Please don't look down on me!"
Qin Feng looked doubtful: "Did Kong Wange teach you all of this?"
Zhou Qiao paused, then sighed, "No, Sister Kong just mentioned it casually. But the most important thing is that I think it through myself. I'm in a state of endless suffering, but turning back is the shore. I've had an epiphany!"
Qin Feng raised an eyebrow: "Really?"
"Why would I lie to you!" Zhou Qiao snorted, feigning embarrassment and annoyance, "I've already told you from the bottom of my heart. If Master Qin still doesn't believe me, I'll be very sad."
Qin Feng paused for a moment and then said, "I don't disbelieve you, let's eat."
Not disbelieving means believing.
Zhou Qiao felt a surge of joy in her heart. It seemed that defeating the big boss wasn't too difficult.
She cleared her throat and picked up another shrimp for Qin Feng: "Mr. Qin, please try this. This is my first time making shrimp in tomato sauce. I know you don't like tomato sauce, so I deliberately didn't add it. It's just seasoned with spices!"
Qin Feng looked at the plate of dark, large shrimp without changing his expression. He picked one up and put it in his mouth with complete ease, chewed it only a couple of times, and then swallowed it: "Not bad."
"Are you sure it's good? You didn't even chew it!"
"I chewed it, and my throat is sore."
"Oh, that's good. Try this too, braised crucian carp! I marinated it for a while because I'm afraid of the fishy smell!"
Qin Feng looked at the sticky lump, but without changing his expression, he took another bite, quickly swallowed it, and mumbled, "Mmm, delicious."
Zhou Qiao was satisfied and said excitedly, "Okay, actually this is my first time cooking, and I was worried that I wouldn't do a good job. I'm so happy that you like it, Mr. Qin. There's still some left in the kitchen, I'll add it all for you."
Without saying a word, she picked up the plate of shrimp and ran towards the kitchen.
Qin Feng couldn't stop this enthusiasm, no matter how hard he tried.
On her way back from the kitchen, Zhou Qiao, driven by curiosity, picked up a shrimp and tasted it.
Her expression changed the moment she took a bite.
The shrimp shells were too hard, prickly to the mouth, and had a burnt taste, so she quickly spat them out.
She returned to the kitchen, then picked up another piece of fish with her chopsticks. This time, she swallowed it before she could even chew it, ran outside to vomit for a long time, and drank water several times before she could finally get rid of the salty taste in her mouth.
When she returned dejectedly, she was shocked to see Qin Feng putting another piece of fish into his mouth. "Mr. Qin, don't you think that fish is too salty?"
Qin Feng shook his head: "It's alright."
"And the shrimp, they're all burnt..."
Qin Feng picked up a shrimp, chewed it, and swallowed it: "This is called crispy on the outside and tender on the inside."
Zhou Qiao: "..."
The next moment, he asked, "Are we doing it again tomorrow?"
Seeing him looking at her expectantly, Zhou Qiao's words, "Don't eat this, it's too awful, I won't make it again," stuck in her throat. She forced a smile and said, "I'll make it, I'll make it if you want to eat it!"
"Hmm," Qin Feng responded, looking at her, "Aren't you going to sit down here?"
Zhou Qiao was initially feeling guilty and wanted to run away because the food she cooked was so bad, but after he said that, she had no choice but to sit down next to him again.
Watching him eat with such relish, she couldn't help but think to herself that this guy truly lived up to his reputation as a great devil.
The flavors are all so extraordinary.
Qin Feng, however, seemed completely oblivious to her thoughts, and poured himself another glass of wine, asking, "Want some more?"
