Chapter 365 - Interrogation (1/2)
Linfeng watched in daze as his Young Miss, whose hands never seemed to have touched spring water before, began to prepare food for him. He was dumbstruck.
The moment they entered the kitchen, Xiong Zhi immediately put on an apron and tied her hair up in a bun. There were already ingredients available in the fridge and with swift movements, she took them all out.
He was mesmerized as Xiong Zhi moved with practiced action. Her soft hands that was never roughened by any housework was skillfully cutting vegetables.
She also seemed to know what she had to do to the ingredients as she had prepared all the necessary equipment. Her focused face and tightly pursed lips appeared so serious.
His Young Miss, when did she learn to cook?
”Ah...” Linfeng woke up from his stupor. He opened his mouth to offer his help but Xiong Zhi cut him off.
”Just sit down and watch. Today, I am just Xiong Zhi, your girlfriend. Your girlfriend should at least learn how to cook for her man, right?” Xiong Zhi said seriously. Her eyes was still focused on the chopping board. She only polished her skills on cutting vegetables more decently after three months of continuous practice. Even when she was busy, she scooped some time to learn a few skills that a 'girlfriend' should have.
”...” Girlfriend. This was the first time they actually acknowledged the relationship between them into official words.
Linfeng felt a bit numb. So she learned to cook for him especially?
He stared at the small and dainty hands. His Young Miss was a pearl at the palm of everyone's hands and should be spoiled endlessly, yet here she was, learning how to do things for him. His heart suddenly felt full.
How much time and effort did it take his Young Miss for her to be this skillful? It may not be on par with the experienced cooks and chefs, but to him, his Young Miss was definitely the best.
He wanted to embrace her from behind and kiss those skillful hands. But he maintained his position and watched her intently. He would let her cook, after all, stopping her now would be disrespecting all the efforts she made.
He also looked forward to eating Xiong Zhi's cooking.
The silence in the kitchen was disturbed by the sizzling sound of oil and the gurgling of boiling water.
After a while, a delicious fragrance filled the kitchen.
Xiong Zhi only learned cooking during her free time, which she especially emptied out after finishing several schoolwork and office paperwork. Thus, although her knife skills appeared a bit skillful, she only knew a few basic recipes and she could not cook slightly complicated delicacies.
For today, she only cooked three simple dishes and one basic soup.
A plate of fried rice, oyster sauce braised chicken, vegetable chow mien with lots of spring onion, and a bowl of egg drop soup.
It was simple home cooked dishes, yet they were dazzling in Linfeng's eyes.
Xiong Zhi put down the bowls on the table, stood at the side, and gestured. ”Have a taste.”
Linfeng picked up the chopsticks he prepared earlier and took a taste first of the oyster sauce braised chicken. Linfeng has been eating Michelin-level food all his life, so the taste was actually ordinary compared to what he had before in the five-star restaurants.
