Probably due to her mother's experience, Asaba Rika was much more reserved and hadn't chatted with Shen Yu for three hours.
Shen Yu finally breathed a sigh of relief and worked peacefully all afternoon. It wasn't until about five o'clock in the evening that he picked up his phone and looked at it. Li Xiang hadn't found him yet.
The time in Japan is one hour ahead of that in China, so it should be night there too.
People are always strange. If she keeps looking for him, Shen Yu will feel nagging. If she stops looking for him, Shen Yu won't get used to it.
His finger stayed on the input box and he hesitated for a while before sending her a message.
Chen Yu: "Where did you put the garbage bags at home?"
Rika quickly replied.
Luo Yan: "Put it in the cabinet under the tea table, the second one on the right."
Chen Yu: "Oh, I understand."
Chen Yu: "Have you eaten?"
Luoyan's voice: "I had a late lunch. Now I'm going out to buy groceries with my mother, and I'll go back to make dinner later. Shen Yujun, are you making dinner?"
Chen Yu: "I'll order takeout."
She sent a voice message, so Shen Yu put the phone to his ear and listened twice.
He is not used to using voice, and he hates the long string of dozens of seconds of voice sent by others, but now he listens to it with great interest.
Luoyan's voice: "Don't order takeout, I can teach you how to cook."
Chen Yu: "Do you think I can't do it? I'm just too lazy to do it."
Chen Yu put away his mobile phone, rode a small e-mule to the fresh food supermarket, and bought some meat and vegetables.
Su Zhifu was watering her garlic and green onions in the yard. When she saw Shen Yu coming back from shopping for vegetables, she subconsciously looked behind him, then ran out to look at the door.
"What are you looking for?"
"Brother Chenyu, where is sister Lixiang?"
"She went back to her parents' home... back to Japan to celebrate the New Year."
Su Zhifu just stared at him, feeling depressed and uncomfortable, so she rubbed her face with her palms like dough. Puff's little face became fleshy in winter, and it felt great when rubbed.
"Oh My God… "
Su Zhifu shook her head and ran away, then asked him from a distance: "Brother Chenyu, did you have a fight with Sister Lixiang?"
Chen Yu's head was full of questions and he said speechlessly: "Why should I have a quarrel with her..."
"Then why does Sister Lixiang want to go back to celebrate the New Year..."
"Aren't you going back to the countryside for the Chinese New Year?"
"It's different!"
Su Zhifu said: "If my mommy and daddy quarrel, she will go back to her grandma's house and ignore my daddy! So, brother Shenyu, has your wife run away?"
"She is not my wife."
"Aren't you going to pick her up?"
"It's so far away, I won't go."
Su Zhifu sighed and said: "If Sister Lixiang doesn't come back, when I grow up, Brother Shenyu will marry me, because I won't quarrel with you, and my home is very close, even if I run home, You can also come and pick me up.”
Shen Yu drove Puff away and carried the dishes to the kitchen on the second floor.
There is still bacon she has stored in the refrigerator, so I will simply make fried bacon with snow peas.
You can still peel snow peas, pinch off the hard stems at both ends, and pull out the old tendons on both sides. After cleaning them, soak them in water.
He took out the bacon again. The meat became very hard and it was very difficult to cut it. Even Shen Yu was a little impressed that Li Xiang could cut such hard bacon and cut it thinly and evenly. Look at how well he cut it. , it was so thick and uneven that it was ugly as hell.
After thinking about it, Shen Yu took another can of pickled radish, took out a small plate, soaked it in water, and fried it later.
Although Lixiang was not at home, she prepared these for him.
After a lot of effort, Shen Yu finally prepared all the ingredients. Before he started frying, he ran into trouble again.
Li Xiang had thoughtfully marked the usage and dosage of each spice, but he still didn't know how to cook, so he had to take out his mobile phone and send her a message.
Chen Yu: "When frying bacon with snow peas, should you put the bacon first or the snow peas first?"
Luoyan voice: "The bacon should be steamed first and then cut into pieces. The snow peas should also be blanched in water first. Prepare two garlic cloves and mince them. Add oil first and then add the minced garlic. Saute until fragrant and then add the bacon. Then stir-fry. Then add the snow peas and stir-fry, add half a spoonful of salt, because the bacon is salty, and finally add a little light soy sauce... "
Shen Yu was confused when he heard this. How could a seemingly simple dish be made so complicated
He was so busy now that he didn't have time to type, so he asked via voice: "Then my bacon has been cut, and it's still raw. Do I need to steam it?"
Luo Yan's voice: "You can do it without steaming it, but it needs to be fried for a longer time. If you cut it very thick, it will be difficult to fry."
Shen Yu's face was solemn, so he had to put the bacon on a plate and steam it in the pot first. No wonder he said that Li Xiang could cut such hard bacon. It turned out that it was steamed first.
Li Xiang called him via video call, but Shen Yu hesitated for a while before picking it up. Originally, he wanted to cook a meal by himself, but now it seems that without her help, even Su Zhifu might not eat the food.
Lixiang had returned home and was sitting on the sofa video chatting with him. She found it interesting when she saw Shen Yu in the video wearing her apron, holding a kitchen knife in her hand, and the ingredients for frying on the chopping board.
Shen Yu put his phone on the table at the back: "Can you see it?"
"Uh-huh!"
From this angle, Li Xiang could see him clearly, but the ingredients couldn't be seen clearly, but it didn't matter, she could guide Shen Yu to make a meal without looking at the ingredients.
"Shen Yujun, let's fry the pickled radish first. This is simple. Heat the pot first..."
"Is it hot enough?"
"Wait a minute... Well, it's almost ready. Put in the oil! Just throw it in!"
"How many milliliters?"
"Maybe a bottle is more than a cap?"
"That's fifteen milliliters..."
Shen Yu poured some oil into the pot, and followed Li Xiang's instructions, put the pickled radish shreds in and stir-fried. This was indeed very simple, and it came out of the pot quickly.
Then, under the guidance of Li Xiang, he hurriedly made fried bacon with snow peas. Probably because the snow peas were blanched for too long, they were overcooked and became soft, without the crispy texture. .
"Mr. Shen Yu, add some water to the pot and soak it. The stove must be wiped first, otherwise it will become difficult to wipe after a long time."
"It's so troublesome..."
Shen Yu felt like he had become a cook. Li Xiang had always been cooking for him. It wasn't until he started cooking for himself that he realized how much work she had to do for a seemingly simple meal.
He came out with the dishes, washed a bowl and filled it with rice, forgetting that she was not at home and had cooked too much rice.
The video call had been hung up, and he sat quietly at the dining table to eat.
A plate of pickled radishes and a plate of fried bacon with snow peas are not unpalatable, but what Chen Yu made is definitely not delicious, at least not as good as Pear Xiang.
No one talked to him, so he ate very quickly, almost only eating pickled radishes and bacon, and stopped eating the snow peas after one piece.
Li Xiang's voice: "Shen Yujun, are you eating? How does it taste?"
Shen Yu wanted to say that it was delicious and that the food he made was more delicious than hers, but he couldn't say it.
Chen Yu: "It's far worse than what you did."
Li Xiang's voice: "It doesn't matter! This is Shen Yujun's first time cooking, and he will make it more delicious in the future!"
Chen Yu: "I'd better wait for you to come back and cook for me."
This is a very subtle psychological change. Before this, Shen Yu always felt suffocated in his heart, as if he was competing with himself. He always felt that if Li Xiang could do well, he could also do well. He was not He couldn't live without her, and after cooking for the first time tonight, Shen Yu's confidence was severely shaken.
He really couldn't do without her when it came to cooking and eating. If she wasn't here, he would have to eat takeout every day.
Why did he not feel bad eating takeout every day before she came, but now, he has just returned to the life he had four months ago, but he can't adapt to it at all
His brain was very clear, but his body was being fed. Every time he took a bite of fast food, his brain was telling him that he was just replenishing energy and it didn’t matter what he ate. However, his body was yelling that it tasted bad, was greasy, and that he wanted to eat the nutrition of Li Xiang. Feast.
After dinner, Shen Yu washed the dishes, pots, and pots and put them away. It was getting dark. He didn't forget Li Xiang's instructions and went to the balcony to help her collect her clothes.
Girls' underwear must be changed and washed every day, and both of them consciously wash their own underwear by hand. The washing machine washes the clothes together every time, and Lixiang will help him dry them when she wakes up in the morning.
The set that Shen Yu has accepted now is a cute cherry-pink underwear with lace trim. When held in his hand, the texture is very soft and comfortable.
Then I remembered Lixiang’s instructions: no looking, no smelling, no touching, no doing strange things...
Chen Yu controlled his weird idea of wanting to smell it, and helped her put her underwear away as if nothing had happened. In fact, all he could think about was the wonderful touch of his palm.
There's nothing you can do about it, you'll always encounter it. Didn't she help him collect the baby? Why can't she change it
Lixiang's door was unlocked, so he opened it and walked in.
He easily smelled a certain faint aroma in the air. This aroma was very similar to the scent of the scarf Li Xiang gave him. It smelled very good. When he smelled it carefully, he didn't seem to be able to smell it, but when his attention was distracted, The faint fragrance floated faintly on the tip of the nose.
Before Li Xiang came to live at home, this house had always been empty. After she moved in, Shen Yu never came in again. However, Li Xiang would always come in and out of his room on the excuse of mopping the floor and cleaning. .
Shen Yu put her underwear on her chest and breathed a sigh of relief. It was obviously just a piece of cloth, but just because of its functionality, just holding it in her hand could make people feel like their blood was racing, like a hot potato. Similar.
Now he was alone at home. After realizing this, Shen Yu's heart beat faster unconsciously, and he felt a wave of heat rushing to his head.
This rapid heartbeat is often a prelude to doing bad things.
He stood there, took a deep breath, and closed the door gently.
Now, he is the only one left in the room...
.
