Chapter 48: Cooking with Elder Jing (4) (1/2)
”How is it?” Elder Jing asked nervously when she saw Yang Wei taking the first bite of her meat.
It has been a long time since she has ever cooked and it was the first time she ever cooked for a male.
Yang Wei savored the meat slowly for a while before swallowing it down his throat and turned to look at Elder Jing who was trembling.
Smiling brightly, Yang Wei said, ”It's delicious Jing Feng and I can't help myself but want to eat more of your cooking.”
Yang Wei was genuine and was not sweet-talking as he believed this piece of meat he just ate to be the best food he ever tasted.
Even more than his own cooking as he does not know how long it has been to be able to taste someone's cooking other than him.
Without noticing, tears started flowing out of Yang Wei's eye, shocking Elder Jing that she thought the food was extremely bad.
”Y-Yang Wei, is the food really that bad? You can be honest with me and stop forcing yourself to take a second bite.” Elder Jing exclaimed as she tried to take meat away from him.
Although she was usually harsh on him, she wanted him to learn the reality and cruel world. She doesn't want to give him a false scenery where everything is colorful even if she knows his mind is strong.
Yang Wei chuckled softly as he wiped some of his tears.
Afterward, he grabbed hold of Elder Jing's hand to prevent her from taking away his plate.
Looking deeply in her eyes, Yang Wei said emotionally, ”I'm crying tears of joy because of how delicious your cooking is. It was the best piece of meat I have ever tasted in my entire life.”
Elder Jing blushed a little bit and said, ”If you like my meat then eat more but don't cry again. I was scared that it tasted disgusting and you just wanted to compliment me to not make me feel bad.”
Elder Jing was in a happy mood that she wasn't really terrible at cooking like she believed herself to be.
'Seems like I have a talent in cooking just like in alchemy.' Elder Jing smiled as she grabbed another piece of meat that she cooked before stuffing it in her mouth.
But a thunderstrike struck her brain when she tasted the meat. A confused expression occurred on her face as she looked at Yang Wei who was chomping down on her meat cheerfully.
'My meat is not even as tasty as Yang Wei so why is he eating mine instead of his?' Elder Jing was perplexed when she felt her meat was considered average.
It wasn't as juicy and tenderized as Yang Wei's meat.
When she took another bite, she already felt like stopping because it wasn't even on par with his.
However, seeing Yang Wei was being genuine and eating her meat, Elder Jing's heart melted softly from being appreciated for her effort.
Elder Jing decided to stop eating her piece of meat and allowed Yang Wei to eat them all as his stomach was like a black hole.
Yang Wei was eating everything extremely fast, almost like he was afraid of someone stealing his food.
'Such a childish man,' Elder Jing giggled softly when Yang Wei acted like a child.
