To Love You Again

Chapter 365 - Interrogation

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.

However, this single chunk of chicken meat brought a lot of flavor to his mouth. The simple but straightforward taste of tender and juicy meat soaked in the flavor of the sauce was very satisfying and uniquely delicious to him.

It was like it was his first time eating this. Not only was his tongue satisfied, his heart as well.

He took another bite of the chicken meat, then went to taste the other dishes. His personal filter made them all taste like a feast.

Xiong Zhi stood stiffly, watching Linfeng taste her cooked dishes. Despite her calm face, her heart was nervous.

Would he like it?

Song Xuantin always said that her food was a bit too bland. And among the food she asked Song Xuantin to taste, only these three dishes were passable. Thus, she spent most of her efforts concentrating on perfecting these dishes.

Linfeng stopped as he noticed that only he was eating. He looked up and saw Xiong Zhi\'s expectant and nervous eyes.

"Ah," Linfeng blurted then chuckled. "I am sorry. I forgot myself, because it is so delicious. Maybe after today, these dishes would never taste the same as before, unless you made it."

Xiong Zhi\'s eyes lit up visibly and a smile appeared on her face.

He felt the urge to pinch her lovely face, but tried to hold back. Instead, he reached out and held her hand, pulling her to his arms. His tall figure sat on the chair, and in his arms was his beautiful woman standing with a flushed face due to the heated pan.

"Thank you for preparing this food for me, Zhi\'er. I am a truly lucky man. My girlfriend is beautiful, smart, and skilled at everything she does," he smilingly praised and kissed her fingers.

Thumped.

His deep eyes gazed gently at Xiong Zhi. It was brimming with an emotion that sucked in Xiong Zhi.

"Can you join me in the table? It will taste even better eating them together."

"En," she smiled happily.

She sat in front of him and ate her own cooked dishes. For some reason, the food today tasted the most delicious over everything else she cooked before.

The kitchen was filled with warmth and joy.

In fact, sometimes, happiness was as simple as this. Doing something simple for your beloved, and getting appreciated in turn.

After lunch, the two dawdled for a moment. Linfeng won and washed the dishes. He would not allow his Young Miss to wash the dishes after her hard work in cooking.

The two then took a long walk outside to ease their digestion.
