Protagonist:

Lu Feng

"No no, it's fine, you stay seated."

Li Jiang waved his hand in some panic, speaking at rapid speed.

"That works, sorry about that."

Unexpectedly, just as he spoke, Su Yue's voice came from beside him at the same time.

"Hm?"

Li Jiang and the long-haired girl both froze simultaneously, surprise appearing on both their faces, and they turned in unison to look at Su Yue.

Su Yue snapped back to awareness from that momentary daze, and now being stared at by the two of them, a blush rose on her face.

But she didn't dodge, merely curved the corners of her mouth, revealing two shallow dimples, and smiled openly.

She didn't say anything further, yet it already let others understand her meaning.

"Oh oh! Okay okay, I'm leaving right now!"

The long-haired girl immediately reacted, abruptly standing up, holding the tray and leaving as if relieved of a heavy burden.

Thank goodness, now she finally didn't have to be a third wheel.

Once the long-haired girl left, the atmosphere at the table quieted down again, and Li Jiang felt even more ill at ease.

He put his hand on the table, soon felt awkward again, thought a moment and moved it to his knee, sitting upright like a primary school student listening in class.

"Alright, look how nervous you've gotten."

Seeing him sitting on pins and needles, Su Yue couldn't help a puff of laughter: "Thanks for the soup you made for me, you've worked hard."

"Hah! It's nothing, not hard at all."

Seeing Su Yue so composed, Li Jiang relaxed along with her, scratching his head a bit embarrassedly: "Just did it casually, this soup is quite simple to stew, not hard at all."

Su Yue smiled, picked up the spoon, ladled a spoonful of soup from the stew pot in front of her, and blew on it gently at her lips.

"That..."

Seeing this, Li Jiang hurriedly spoke up: "I told you before I'm great at cooking, actually I was bragging to you, actually I've never cooked at home before, this soup I learned from my mom, don't know how it tastes..."

The meaning of his words was very obvious.

It was to tell Su Yue not to hold too high expectations for his culinary skill, giving her a preventive shot in advance.

"I know you couldn't cook before, I'm not stupid."

Su Yue, just about to drink the soup, paused at that, turned her head to look at Li Jiang and said with a smile: "Aren't my mom and your mom good friends? Recently I still heard Auntie complaining to my mom, saying you can't even figure out how to make instant noodles at home."

"So you knew?"

Li Jiang blanked for a moment, he had thought Su Yue really believed his bragging.

That's why he called and begged Lu Feng to teach him Tomato Scrambled Eggs, and after returning from traveling outside, pestered his mom to teach him to stew this Black Chicken Stewed Mixed Mushrooms soup.

He didn't expect Su Yue knew from the start he was bragging.

But looking at Su Yue's attitude now, she didn't seem angry at him because of it, and his heart couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Her knowing was a good thing too, at least he wouldn't have to go to great lengths to hide it anymore.

Su Yue smiled and nodded, drinking the spoonful of soup into her mouth.

This made Li Jiang nervous again, and he hastily put on an indifferent air: "That... this soup I learned from my mom on the spur of the moment, first time making it, if you think it tastes bad, just drink a sip for form's sake, today I brought you here specifically to let you taste my brother's culinary skill, everything he makes is especially delicious, way better than my soup!"

Though his mouth said this, his gaze never left Su Yue's lips.

Su Yue swallowed the soup in her mouth, turned her head to look at Li Jiang.

Li Jiang hurriedly shifted his gaze from her face, pretending nothing was happening, looking elsewhere, using his peripheral vision to watch Su Yue's reaction.

"This soup tastes pretty good, even better than I imagined."

Su Yue looked at Li Jiang with a beaming smile, tone very serious as she said this.

"Really?"

Li Jiang's body gave a violent shudder, eyes instantly brightening, a smile he couldn't hide spreading across his face.

That look was just like a primary school student publicly praised by a teacher at school.

His startled, flustered appearance made Su Yue laugh.

She ladled another spoonful from the stew pot, blew on it twice, then held it to Li Jiang's mouth: "Of course it's real, don't believe me? Taste it yourself."

Su Yue's action made Li Jiang's heart skip a beat.

This spoon Su Yue had just used, the edge still bore traces of her lips.

Damn!

Isn't this an indirect kiss?

Li Jiang's mind couldn't help flashing back to the scenes from a few days ago traveling with Su Yue.

Back then when eating, they each ate their own.

Even after the last few days when they confirmed their relationship, the two of them hadn't had this kind of intimate gesture.

Li Jiang swallowed, carefully opened his mouth, and drank the warm soup from the spoon in one gulp.

What the soup tasted like, he didn't really taste.

But his heart was sweet regardless.

"How is it, good right?"

Su Yue's face was a bit red, smiling as she asked him.

"Mm, delicious, delicious!"

Li Jiang nodded repeatedly like a chick pecking rice; right now he was truly happy.

That action just now meant his boyfriend/girlfriend relationship with Su Yue had progressed a step further than before.

This naturally made Li Jiang, who had never dated before, unable to help but feel happy.

"Come come come, don't just drink soup, eat dishes eat dishes! Taste my brother's culinary skill, it's very delicious!"

Li Jiang picked up his chopsticks and kept piling dishes into the bowl in front of Su Yue without stopping.

"Alright alright, I just need to taste the flavor, if you keep piling I won't be able to finish it all."

Seeing the dishes in her bowl had already piled into a small hill yet Li Jiang still showed no sign of stopping, Su Yue hurriedly smiled and stopped him.

=At the kitchen door, Lu Feng craned his neck, secretly observing the two people Li Jiang and Su Yue.

"Tsk tsk tsk... this romance's sour stinky smell."

Watching the two eat with eyebrows coming and eyes going, Lu Feng shook his head with a face full of disdain and said.

After complaining a sentence, he turned around and returned to the stove, continuing to cook dishes attentively.

Li Jiang ate this meal wolf-swallowing tiger-gulping.

They all say when the mood is good, the appetite will follow along and be good.

This sentence isn't wrong at all.

That huge pile of dishes on the table, aside from what was given to Su Yue, the rest all entered his Du Chong.

After eating his fill and drinking his fill, Li Jiang pulled Su Yue's hand and stood up, walking toward the store entrance outside.

"Fengzi! We're leaving!"

When they walked to the store entrance, Li Jiang shouted a loud sentence toward the inside of the kitchen.

Lu Feng poked his head out from the kitchen, just preparing to speak, but saw Li Jiang facing himself make a throat-slitting movement.

He instantly understood, this kid still hasn't forgotten the matter of me selling him out just now.

Looks like if it weren't for the Su Yue beside him, this kid would have long been unable to hold back from taking revenge on the spot.

Seeing Li Jiang's movement, Lu Feng smiled.

Then facing Li Jiang at the door he extended his right hand, made a friendly international gesture.

Counted as responding to Li Jiang's provocation.
