Protagonist:

Lu Feng

Su Yue's eyes widened slightly at these words, and a look of pleasant surprise appeared on her face: "Ah? That good? Thank you so much, Brother... but... won't it be too much trouble for them?"

"No trouble at all, no trouble at all. For my brother, this is just a simple matter!"

Li Jiang quickly waved his hand, speaking with extra certainty.

Of course it's no trouble.

Because that soup was stewed by my own hands!

Li Jiang silently added this in his heart.

Thinking that Su Yue would soon taste the soup he had stewed himself, he couldn't help but feel a bit excited.

Last time, although he had learned to make Tomato Scrambled Eggs from Lu Feng, he had originally planned to invite Su Yue to his home and cook it for her personally.

However, Su Yue happened to be rushing a project those days, working overtime every day until late at night, so there was no opportunity.

After the project ended, Su Yue took a few days of long leave from the Company, finally finding time.

Li Jiang then wanted to arrange a one-day tour for his parents to create space for him and Su Yue to be alone together.

Unexpectedly, his parents had gone traveling last time and were exhausted, so this time they absolutely did not want to go.

With these two at home, Li Jiang was too embarrassed to invite Su Yue over to make a fool of himself.

So he simply adopted a "give it a try" attitude and invited Su Yue to travel together, just the two of them going out to play for a few days.

He originally thought Su Yue would refuse, but she agreed readily.

This made Li Jiang so happy that he didn't sleep well all night.

After that, the two visited several tourist cities over those few days and had a great time along the way.

It was also on that mountain-climbing trip that Li Jiang took the initiative to hold Su Yue's hand, and she did not refuse, so they finally confirmed their relationship as a couple.

Those few days were so happy that Li Jiang had long forgotten about cooking for Su Yue.

Only after returning to Jiangcheng this time did he remember this matter.

So the soup he stewed for Su Yue this time was Li Jiang's first time showing off his culinary skills in front of Su Yue.

Therefore, for Li Jiang, it was still very meaningful.

"Brother Jiang, the food you ordered is ready."

At the Counter Side, Hu Xiaoyun placed the food Li Jiang ordered onto the Counter, cleared her throat, and shouted loudly at Li Jiang.

"Coming!"

Li Jiang felt excited in his heart and immediately jumped up from his chair.

He said to Su Yue, who was preparing to stand up: "You stay seated, I'll go serve it!"

After saying that, he scurried over to the Counter Side.

Li Jiang ran back and forth three times, and soon the Table was filled with dishes.

Every dish had an enticing color, and the aroma in the air became much richer.

These two are really rich; so many dishes must cost a lot of money, right?

The long-haired girl sitting opposite silently sighed in her heart while looking at the Table full of dishes.

But after Li Jiang placed the last dish on the Table, the smile on his face suddenly froze.

His gaze swept over the dishes on the Table, and confusion appeared in his eyes.

Wait a minute?

Where did the black chicken and mixed mushroom soup I stewed with my own hands go?

"Wow! These dishes look really delicious!"

Su Yue's gaze swept over the dishes on the Table once, looking at Li Jiang with bright eyes, her tone full of anticipation: "I also want to try the dishes you ordered, can I have a few bites?"

"Wait a moment, wait a moment!"

Li Jiang quickly waved his hand, his tone becoming somewhat anxious: "There's still one soup that hasn't been served, I'll go ask!"

As he spoke, he was about to stand up and run to the Counter Side to ask about the situation.

Unexpectedly, as soon as he stood up, he saw Lu Feng walk out of the Kitchen, still holding a Bai Ci Dun Wen in his hand.

On the white porcelain body of the Stew pot were exquisite patterns, and the edge of the lid was inlaid with a circle of gold trim.

Heat rose from the edge of the lid, and one could faintly smell the mushroom aroma and chicken meat fragrance drifting out from inside.

Lu Feng walked with steady steps, carrying the Stew pot straight to their Table, gently placing the Stew pot in front of Su Yue, smiling and saying: "Sorry for the long wait, the soup is here, be careful it's hot."

Li Jiang's hanging heart finally settled, and he quietly gave Lu Feng a thumbs-up, casting a grateful look.

Brother, Reliable!

This Stew pot is much more exquisite than my Thermos, this class level has instantly gone up!

Li Jiang leaned over, carefully lifted the lid of the Stew pot, and said expectantly: "You taste this soup first, see if it suits your appetite."

"Thank you, Boss, for specially stewing this soup for me."

Su Yue raised her head, smiled at Lu Feng, and said.

As she smiled like this, two shallow dimples appeared on her face again, making Li Jiang standing to the side feel a flutter in his heart.

The long-haired girl sitting opposite Su Yue was lowering her head slurping the noodles in her Bowl, but at this moment her gaze was attracted by the Stew pot on the Table.

She raised her head to look at the Stew pot in front of Su Yue, and then looked at Lu Feng standing beside the Table.

This situation left her full of question marks, and her movement of eating noodles also stopped.

She has eaten at Lu Feng's shop no fewer than seven or eight times.

She knows the price list on the wall of Lu Feng's shop very well; she could recite it backward with her eyes closed.

But this bowl of soup before her, she is absolutely certain, is definitely not something from the menu.

Could it be a new item Lu Boss just added today?

No, that's not right?

She clearly remembers, wasn't today's new dish roast duck?

When did Lu Boss's shop get this soup? How come I don't know a thing about it?

The long-haired girl was pondering this in her heart when the diners at the nearby tables also noticed the commotion over here.

They saw Lu Feng come out of the Kitchen carrying a stew pot, and just like the long-haired girl, they too wore a confused look.

Just as someone couldn't help but want to speak up and ask, Lu Feng, who had set down the stew pot but still hadn't left, suddenly smiled.

"This black chicken assorted mushroom soup wasn't made by my shop."

He pointed at Li Jiang beside Su Yue and said in a perfectly natural tone: "This was made in advance by my brother Li Jiang and he had me serve it to you; this kid was probably afraid you'd think his cooking tasted bad, so he specifically told me not to tell you."

The moment these words came out, the Hall fell instantly silent.

Then the gazes of all the diners gathered in unison on Li Jiang.

"Ah? This was made by you?"

Su Yue was even more stunned; she turned her head to look at Li Jiang, her tone full of surprise.

Li Jiang looked at Lu Feng with a blank, bewildered face, his mouth gaping wide, and countless bullet comments instantly flashed through his mind.

Fuck? Fengzi, what the hell are you doing?

Didn't we agree perfectly well before, said you wouldn't tell Su Yue?

How come in the time it takes to turn your face you sold me out?

Why are all these people looking at me? Do they think I'm really embarrassing myself right now?

And Su Yue, why is her expression so surprised?

Is it because she knows this soup was made by me, and now she's disgusted to the point of not wanting to taste a single sip?

Fengzi you damn scammer! I'm socially dead today!

If I'd known I wouldn't have asked this guy for help, so embarrassing!

Li Jiang couldn't get a single word out, only feeling like ten thousand alpacas were galloping past in his head.
