There were several rows of various surgical tools on the table.
Luo Lie's knife skills were indeed outstanding, fully meeting Gong Ou's picky requirements. He took a scalpel and cut along the texture of the chicken.
The knife fell from the hand.
Chicken wings, drumsticks, heads, necks, and internal organs were arranged in a row.
Gong Ou nodded with satisfaction.
Gong Yu stood aside and touched his neck unconsciously, "Why do I feel like I saw a dismemberment scene?"
Shi Xiaonian and Feng De nodded frequently.
Even though the blood had been washed away, I still felt that the scalpel was terrifying.
"You can start preparing the dishes."
Luo Lie said, putting the chicken on a nearby plate, cutting green onions and other ingredients and putting them in. All the raw ingredients of the dish were arranged neatly.
"Thanks."
Gong Yu said, reaching out to take the plate and turning to leave.
"Wait."
Luo Lie handed over another small box, and Gong Yu took it, opened it, took out a folded mask, unfolded it and put it on.
Luo Lie dug into his pocket again.
Gong Yu said, "I don't need the gloves anymore, it will affect my performance."
Luo Lie stopped taking it out and continued to wipe his scalpel. Gong Yu didn't say anything more and just focused on his own affairs.
A simple back and forth, but there is an invisible tacit understanding.
When Xiao Nian looked at it, remembering all the past events, the corners of his lips slowly rose.
Luo Lie was cutting things, and Shi Xiaonian was helping arrange the dishes. She imitated Luo Lie and arranged the ingredients for each dish, trying to reduce the chance of Gong Ou making dark dishes.
"It must be your suggestion to let the Second Young Master Gong cook, right?"
Luo Lie suddenly spoke to Shi Xiaonian.
Except for Shi Xiaonian, no one could make Gong Ou do this.
"To be honest, I regretted it as soon as I proposed it." Shi Xiaonian shrugged, with an indescribable expression on his face.
"I really didn't expect that the Second Young Master Gong would do such an ordinary thing."
There are so many chefs and servants in the Gong family that they don't need to pick up a fork themselves, but Gong Ou actually has to cook.
"No, no, no." Shi Xiaonian looked like you were wrong, "Our second young master can make all ordinary little things special, special, and extraordinary."
Gong Ou was studying the recipe and didn't look at them.
Seeing Xiao Nian like this, Luo Lie, who had always had a cold and arrogant expression, laughed without restraint, and then said, "It's not bad, isn't it? At least you live a different life every day, so you can naturally have something to talk about."
Unlike him, sometimes that person doesn't even know what to talk to when he's standing in front of him.
Shi Xiaonian stood next to Luo Lie. Hearing this, he raised his eyes and looked at him, "Doctor Luo, there is something I don't know whether I should ask?"
"What?"
"Did something happen when there was almost an explosion at Lancaster Manor, and you and your brother were tied together the whole time?" Shi Xiaonian carefully considered the words, "I can feel that there is something like this between you two. There are some changes."
This is a good thing, isn't it
Luo Lie's hand holding the scalpel paused, and he raised his eyes to look at Gong Yu, who was discussing cooking skills with Feng De, with complicated eyes.
"I'm just curious about what happened that day. If you don't want to tell me, you don't have to tell me."
Hearing this, Luo Lie lowered his eyes to look at her kind face and asked, "So you have been thinking about what happened that day."
"I just want to know what happened to everyone on that day. The more you don't let me know, the more worried I am."
Luo Lie thought for a while and said, "Actually, there was nothing I couldn't tell you that day. It's just that everyone suffered a little, and you were seriously injured at the time. Everyone agreed not to talk to you in order not to affect you. They were afraid of you. There is a psychological burden.”
"All right."
Shi Xiaonian nodded.
"But..." Luo Lie said thoughtfully, "That day, I understood a lot of things and figured out a lot."
"You and brother..."
"I used to think that I was just an outsider, a burden, a stand-in who didn't even remotely resemble me." Luo Lie lowered his head and said while chopping vegetables, his voice was low.
Generally speaking, there must be a twist in saying this.
"Then now..."
"Now he at least knows that I am Luo Lie, a person he will save at all costs, and a name he will not call wrong even when he is in a coma." At this point, Luo Lie had a smile in his eyes.
Luo Lie said it very vaguely, but Shi Xiaonian had always been delicate and thoughtful, so he still tasted something.
And these made Shi Xiaonian feel happy.
She had always hoped that Gong Yu could be freed from the prison he was trapped in.
"Then will we hear good news soon?"
Shi Xiaonian asked tentatively.
This time, Luo Lie did not pause in the movements of his hands, and his expression was quite relaxed, "Actually, not every relationship needs to be like in fairy tales, and end with being together forever to be considered complete."
Shi Xiaonian put the onions on the plate, "But, as a reader, I like to see this ending."
"What if the protagonist in the story doesn't like it?"
"What does the protagonist like?"
"They like to let nature take its course. They can drink and chat happily, practice their own cultivation, and even... risk their lives to be with each other."
Luo Lie said with a low smile, seemingly satisfied with the current situation.
Shi Xiaonian stared at him without speaking.
Luo Lie glanced at her and smiled even deeper, "Why, you can't understand? It means that if we don't get tired of being together every day like you and the second young master, then it's called a destination, that's called a happy ending. Everyone has their own choices, but the protagonist Just be happy. I'm fine now and feel more at ease than ever. After all... I don't like two people getting tired of being together, like two ingredients mixed together desperately. After a long time, it will be so sour that the teeth will fall out."
The cold-faced doctor actually complained about her.
Shi Xiaonian stood there in shame and embarrassment. Her adoptive father also said that how many people were watching her and Gong Ou experience happiness, wasn't the person in front of her a good person
Seeing her like this, Luo Lie smiled even more happily.
Shi Xiaonian was very embarrassed and angry, "I asked Gong Ou to throw you into the sea."
"I don't mind." Luo Lie didn't care, "I can watch someone risk their life to accompany you again, which is not bad."
It's a wonder that a cold-faced doctor can still joke.
"you… "
Just as Shi Xiaonian was about to speak, he heard Feng De's exclamation, "Master, don't let that go!"
Then a loud "bang" was heard.
Then, everyone stared dumbfoundedly at the ceiling covered with vegetables.
Gong Ou himself was already two meters away from the pot. His clothes were not stained by any oil. He was clean and tidy, as if nothing was wrong, as if... he was not the one who blew up the pot.
There was silence.
"Look, I just said that my second young master is very extraordinary." Shi Xiaonian rubbed her forehead in pain, why on earth was she so mean-mouthed that she asked Gong Ou to cook her birthday meal.
“…”
Luo Lie's expression was dull, and there was no trace of his usual cold and arrogant look.
Shi Xiaonian sighed and walked towards Gong Ou, checking his clothes, "What did you add that blew up the pot?"
"Why does it want to bomb me?" Gong Ouli said confidently.
"Is it going to explode on its own?"
Shi Xiaonian was shocked, it was a shame he could speak out.
"Of course, I'm sure that there is no substance here that will cause an explosion when added together." Gong Ou looked directly at Shi Xiaonian, very calmly, and said with sonorous words, "There should be something wrong with the material structure of the pot itself. Feng De, this what's going on?"
Feng De, who was wiping the ceiling with a sanitary ware rod, stopped quickly when he heard this, walked forward, bowed respectfully, and said, "It's my fault, young master, I didn't do a good job in checking the purchase of these pots. I will pay attention next time so that nothing like this will happen again."
If you want to ask what a steward’s self-cultivation is, this is it!
Feng De is a walking steward textbook.
“…”
Shi Xiaonian was accustomed to such scenes of "collusion between top and bottom". She patted Gong Ou's clothes and said, "Are you injured? I'll go with you to check."
Go quickly, get out of this place quickly.
Gong Yu is such a smart person. At this moment, he has already figured out why Shi Xiaonian obstructed him in every possible way before. Hearing this, he immediately echoed, "Yes, you are easily hurt when you are so close. Luo Lie, go quickly." Check him out at your infirmary.”
Come on, blowing up the kitchen is a trivial matter. If the entire cruise ship is blown up, everyone on the ship will die.
"good."
Luo Lie responded.
"No! I'm good at it and didn't touch me at all!" Gong Ou refused.
If you feel like it's going to explode, you should get out of the way immediately.
Shi Xiaonian thought to herself, and when she saw Gong Ou walking toward the pot again, she hurriedly hugged his arm, "No, I won't worry if you don't check it. Come on, let's go check it out."
Gong Ou was helpless by Shi Xiaonian's insistence, so he had no choice but to say, "Okay, I'll make a soup and then go check it out. When I get back, I can check how the soup is doing."
"But… "
Shi Xiaonian had no time to stop Gong Ou and already strode away.
Gong Ou found the pot closest to Gong Yu, and Gong Yu silently walked away with the pot.
Gong Ou is immersed in his cooking skills.
It should be safe to make a soup. Shi Xiaonian taught Gong Ou how to put the ingredients step by step. Gong Ou listened at first, but as he listened, he just followed his feelings.
Later, the kitchen was very lively.
"boom!"
"Snapped!"
"Ping Pong!"
The symphony of ingredients and spatulas continued. Shi Xiaonian never thought that making soup could be so thrilling. She was so shocked that Gong Yu had already carried the pot to the corner and stir-fried silently...
On the deck, Luo Qi was admiring the sea and sky, and his graceful figure looked like a painting.
Suddenly, Luo Qi pressed his eyes.
"Ma'am, what's wrong?"
asked the maid next to her.
"I don't know what's going on, but my eyelids have been twitching today." Luo Qi said a little uncomfortable, and suddenly looked back, "Is there an explosion?"
The maid was confused, "Explosion? How could there be an explosion on the ship? Madam, did you hear it wrong? It's just that the sound of the waves was a bit loud."
"Is it?"
But she clearly heard the sound of the explosion.
Luo Qi pressed her ears and frowned.
Could it be that she was getting older and began to feel discomfort in various parts of her body? It seemed that she needed to be checked by a doctor. (To be continued)
