"I'll do it, you just eat." Han Dong took off his coat and went to find a rag. He had to clean the kitchen first.
Su Ran quickly put the flowers on the dining table and ran back to grab the rag from his hand: "Let me wipe it."
She can't cook, but she can do some cleaning.
"No, go wash your face first, or better yet, take a shower." Han Dong didn't let her interfere.
Su Ran: Uh…
Did she stink and did he smell it
Han Dong sneered and pushed her out: "Look at you, your face and neck are all sweaty, go wash it."
As soon as he entered the room and saw water on the floor, he knew that she had just cleaned the house. Her face was red, but it was not because the air conditioner was too warm. The temperature in the room was just right, warm like spring.
It was also his fault. He should have told her earlier that he was coming, which forced her to clean the house at the last minute.
"Oh! Then let me tell you where to put the soy sauce and other things."
"No, I can find it myself."
He has bought everything, so it doesn't matter if he can't find it.
"Ah... I remember there's no rice at home."
“I bought rice, too.”
I’m afraid that her family doesn’t cook regularly and has no rice.
"There's gas, right?" Han Dong asked. This was the key. What if she forgot to pay the gas bill and the gas was cut off? Then he would be really helpless. A good cook cannot cook without rice.
"Yes, yes, I bought it three years ago, and I haven't used it many times, but I still have a lot!" Su Ran said embarrassedly, it was a bit embarrassing to say this, who else would pay a gas bill once and not use it up in three years? However, this can't be blamed on her, she hasn't been back to Shengzhou for three years, and the last time she came back, she only stayed at home for two nights.
But then again, even if she stayed at home for three years, the gas might not be used up. Neither she nor Ning Xi knew how to cook. They usually cooked instant noodles at home, and most of the time they ordered meals from nearby restaurants.
"Okay, go ahead!" Han Dong had no problem.
Su Ran was embarrassed to leave: "Then I'll put the flowers in the arrangement."
Han Dong smiled without saying anything and pointed at her clothes.
Su Ran looked down at her round-neck sweater and immediately blushed from her face to her neck. Oh my god! She actually put her clothes on backwards.
This time, Su Ran ran away quickly without Han Dong urging her.
Han Dong couldn't help laughing, and saw her unknown side, the little careless girl, the cute little careless girl.
Han Dong was just about to go back to the kitchen when he remembered that he had not changed his shoes. It seemed that he was quite careless as he came in with his shoes on.
So, Han Dong went to the shoe cabinet in the entrance hall to look for slippers, and found a pair of men's leather slippers on the bottom layer of the shoe cabinet, which had not been unpacked. It seemed that he was the first male guest to visit her house.
Han Dong changed his shoes, mopped the floor he had just stepped on, wiped the kitchen again, found a stew pot from the cupboard, washed the chopping board and kitchen knife, chopped the black-bone chicken first, put it into the stew pot, and then put in various auxiliary ingredients, ginger, wolfberry, red dates... Then poured in rice wine, added appropriate amounts of salt and water, turned on the gas and started to cook the soup.
After the soup was cooking, Han Dong went to look for vases. He found a large ceramic jar and two glass vases. He separated the bouquet of flowers and put them into three vases. He placed the ceramic jar on the coffee table in the living room, one of the glass vases on the dining table, and the other in the master bedroom on her dressing table.
By the way, I visited her home.
In the large three-bedroom house, she converted the guest room into a cloakroom, which is filled with clothes, shoes, and bags of various styles.
Fortunately, his sister's wardrobe is even bigger than this, and he has seen the world, so he is not surprised. She is an actress, often exposed in the spotlight, and these are necessary equipment for her work, just like the guns in the hands of their soldiers.
In the study, there is a cabinet full of books, a large rosewood desk, and a pile of scripts on the desk. Han Dong casually opened it and saw densely packed notes on the script. It can be seen that a large part of her good acting skills comes from her in-depth study and understanding of the script. No one can succeed easily. Behind every successful person there are unknown hardships.
There was a rattan rocking chair by the window, and on the small coffee table next to the rocking chair was a book called The Actor's Power: The 12-Step Acting Method by Chubbuck. This book must have been her favorite, and it was worn out.
What surprised him was that there was a violin in her cabinet. The case was worn out in some places, but she still kept it and was reluctant to replace it. It can be seen that this violin is very important to her.
Su Ran took a shower, dried her hair, and came out of the bathroom. She heard the sound of vegetables being cut evenly in the kitchen, the sound of dishes colliding, and the aroma of thick soup floating in the air...
The sun shines through the clear floor-to-ceiling windows, casting a golden glow on the room. The roses on the dining table are in bud, with water droplets condensed on the petals, looking gorgeous and tempting.
The kitchen door was half open. He was wearing black casual pants, a light brown sweater and an apron, and was cooking in an orderly manner.
Su Ran was a little dazed, as if she saw their future life. You cook and I wash dishes, you mop the floor and I do laundry, and when we have free time, we snuggle on the sofa and watch TV. It is plain but warm. This is life, this is the taste of happiness!
Su Ran walked over slowly, put her arms around his waist from behind, and put her face against his broad back.
Han Dong asked, "Are you hungry? I'll be ready soon."
"Will holding you like this affect your cooking?" Su Ran asked softly.
Han Dong smiled: "No."
How could that be? Her intimacy made him happy.
"Then I'll hold you like this." Su Ran said coquettishly, tightening her arms.
They have so little time together, so the more time they can hug, the better.
Han Dong was about to start cooking: "Cooperate with me and move one step to the left."
"Oh!" Su Ran obediently moved with him. In this way, she must have looked like a koala hanging on him.
Han Dong poured oil into the pot, waited until the oil was warm, then put the shredded potatoes into the pot. He considerately used his arm to block her hands around his waist to prevent the hot oil from scalding her hands.
Su Ran leaned over to take a look and saw him cooking skillfully, flipping the wok from time to time.
"Instructor Han, did you learn these cooking skills in the army?"
Han Dong said, "I learned it at home. My parents were busy with work and didn't have time to take care of me and my sister. My sister cooked, but her food was so bad that I hated it. My sister asked me if cooking was that easy. If you think it's bad, you can cook it yourself. So I cooked it myself. At first, I didn't cook well, but my sister said it was delicious and praised me for my talent for cooking. She coaxed me into cooking more and more. By the time I realized that I had been tricked by my sister, it was too late."
Su Ran couldn't help laughing: "I didn't expect your sister to be so interesting."
"Not interesting at all. My sister is so fierce, both vicious and cunning." Han Dong said with disdain. He didn't see that his sister was interesting, but his sister really loved him.
Su Ran curled her lips and didn't believe it. It was not like she had never seen Han Ting before.
The cell phone was ringing. Su Ran didn't want to answer it, but it kept ringing.
"Go answer the phone." Han Dong patted her hands.
Su Ran had no choice but to let him go and follow the ringtone to find her phone.
I am not feeling well today, so I am sorry for the late update. Thank you Juhao and Chu Qianmo for the tip!
