Ji Xiaoxi, who said she wanted to repay Gu Cheng'an for his great kindness, calmed her emotions and then jumped up to go to the kitchen, meanwhile, ordering Gu Cheng'an not to enter the kitchen, not to peek.
Thus, for the next hour or so, Gu Cheng'an was watching the news while listening to the clangs and clatters from the kitchen.
Everything quieted down, and then, when Ji Xiaoxi called out, "Dinner's ready," Gu Cheng'an got up and went to the dining room.
Cold cucumber salad, scrambled eggs with tomatoes, Kung Pao chicken, stir-fried pork with wood ear mushrooms.
Winter melon and shrimp skin soup.
The color combinations were really bright and eye-catching, and except for the slightly crispy meat, the overall taste was much better than Gu Cheng'an expected.
One person was eagerly seeking praise, the other surprisingly accommodating, both of them, four dishes and one soup, eaten cleanly.
