Chapter 60: Leave the Sausage Behind!
Not long after, Assistant Xiao Xi quickly arrived after being called by Gu Zhiren.
He also brought many bags of fresh ingredients.
Xiao Xi rolled up his sleeves and started cooking, while Mu Yi helped beside him.
Mainly to learn.
After all, she did not want Gu Zhiren to fool her a second time!
The eggs she cooked were obviously salty enough to kill someone, yet he still ate them calmly.
She had tasted them herself, but he still said they tasted good. He even explained several uses of eggshells, saying eggshells really could be eaten and were actually good for the body, as long as you did not eat too much.
When she saw that he was still going to continue eating, she directly threw the eggs into the trash.
Mu Yi felt unwilling to accept it.
She clearly wanted to see Gu Zhiren suffer, so why did it end with him comforting her instead?!
Holding back the anger in her heart, Mu Yi seriously learned from Xiao Xi. From cutting vegetables to cooking, from controlling the heat to the order of adding seasonings, she carefully watched everything.
As she learned, she could not help sighing emotionally. No wonder New Oriental Cooking School always advertised everywhere—
If you meet a chef from New Oriental, marry them quickly!
Being able to cook so well was truly overpowered.
“Mr. Xiao Xi, did you study at New Oriental?” Mu Yi asked curiously.
“New Oriental? No, I just followed recipes and taught myself.”
At this point, Xiao Xi smiled.
“Miss Mu Yi, don’t worry. Cooking is just following recipes step by step. It’s not difficult at all. Anyone with hands can do it.”
Hearing this, Mu Yi could only smile awkwardly but politely and nod her head.
After chatting for a while, she also accidentally found out that Gu Zhiren once picked up a stray cat on the road and temporarily left it at a pet house for someone to take care of.
After hearing that, Mu Yi felt slightly touched. He actually seemed like a caring person.
Once the cooking was finished, Xiao Xi quietly left without staying to eat.
The table soon became full of delicious-smelling dishes.
But the thing that attracted Mu Yi the most was the plate full of sausages.
The sausages were covered with a layer of spicy sauce, making people imagine the happy feeling of biting into them. The kind of happiness that made you want to squint your eyes, the kind of happiness so strong it felt like your clothes might burst apart.
She was already impatient to eat.
Just then, the half-closed front door was pushed open, and the person who returned was Gu Zhiren.
“You’re back?”
Seeing Gu Zhiren return from the next room, Mu Yi subconsciously greeted him.
During the cooking, Gu Zhiren had been staying in the other room.
She did not know what he had been doing there, and he did not explain either.
“Mm.”
After replying to her greeting, Gu Zhiren casually closed the door.
“This time I didn’t do well. After I study more, I’ll make another delicious meal for you as compensation.”
Mu Yi filled two empty bowls with rice, then placed one of them on her left side. Even though she really did not want to eat at the same table as Gu Zhiren.
Since eating together could not be avoided, then at least she could stop him from sitting across from her.
If she had to see him every time she looked up, her appetite would definitely suffer!
“There’s no need to rush. Take your time and learn slowly.”
As he spoke, Gu Zhiren calmly sat down beside Mu Yi. He glanced at the bowl of rice she prepared for him, and the corner of his mouth unconsciously lifted slightly.
“Speaking of it, Mr. Xiao Xi, being a CEO’s special assistant, cooking such a big table of dishes, and also being so easy to get along with… a person like you must be very popular, right?”
Hearing this, the corner of Gu Zhiren’s mouth twitched slightly, and the small smile on his face completely disappeared.
He even could not help rolling his eyes.
Mu Yi did not notice the change in Gu Zhiren’s expression. She had only suddenly realized that she helped serve rice for him, and subconsciously felt that something about it was strange.
Maybe it was because of the dream she had this morning. Sitting this close to Gu Zhiren while eating…
Her heartbeat was still a little fast.
But when she looked up, she found that the meat dishes and vegetable dishes were being separated one by one by Gu Zhiren.
Soon, only vegetable dishes were left in front of the girl, while all the meat dishes were placed in front of the man.
It was as if there were a clear border line between them, with meat on one side and vegetables on the other!
“Huh?”
Mu Yi froze for a moment. Then, when she saw the sausage plate also being moved away, she instantly lost her calm.
“Leave the sausages behind! Gu Zhiren, what are you doing?”
“Patients should eat light food, so you can’t eat these meat dishes.”
“Huh? If you say it like that, then shouldn’t you also not be allowed to eat them? No, wait, I only hurt my foot, but you hurt your head, so actually I should be the one allowed to eat them!”
Mu Yi directly grabbed the sausage plate with her hands. Gu Zhiren looked at her with an amused smile and then let go.
“Your reaction was pretty fast.”
“Hmph!”
Mu Yi accepted the praise without any shame and proudly raised her little chin. She almost wanted to put her hands on her waist too.
But after looking at the sausages in her hands, a sudden idea flashed through her mind.
She could purposely pick up one sausage and wave it in front of Gu Zhiren.
[Want it? If you want it, beg big sister. Say that you really, really want it, and big sister will give it to you]
Her brain automatically imagined the next scene, though it somehow felt a little strange.
After she said those words, Gu Zhiren smiled exactly as she imagined and answered that he wanted it.
Then she gently pressed one finger against her cheek and shyly asked another question.
[Then… do you want to eat the sausage first or… eat big sister first?]
Gu Zhiren looked shocked at first, but soon showed a wicked smile. Then he directly pushed her down onto the dining table and punished her right there.
The soup and dishes on the table spilled everywhere, and the plates near the edge even fell onto the floor.
Sweat ran across their skin and mixed together with the spilled soup.
And then… strange smells were added into the mix.
Thinking up to this point, Mu Yi suddenly came back to her senses and quickly cut off the strange fantasy.
But it seemed a little too late.
Her body had already become slightly hot, and something inside her strangely stirred.
The warmth beneath her butt suddenly increased, and it seemed like it was not only because of her period anymore.
She quietly squeezed her legs together and bit her lips in embarrassment and anger.
Just imagining it made her become like this. If it really happened, what would she turn into…
It would definitely become a complete mess.
Mu Yi’s face became redder and redder.
“Your face is so red. Are you thinking about strange things again?”
Gu Zhiren raised his hand and flicked her forehead.
“Ah, that hurts!”
Mu Yi cried out in pain. She shut one eye tightly, while her rosy lips pressed into a straight line.
“I’m not! I was just thinking… should we play a game?”
She took a light breath, but still blinked guiltily while biting her nail.
“I only wrote two thousand words today. If I win, then I’ll stop at two thousand today. But if you win, I’ll write four thousand more words! How about it?”
Gu Zhiren smiled but said nothing. He did not hate competition. In fact, he quite liked the feeling of winning after competing. But he did not plan to accept this game.
“You seem to have forgotten that I still have a secret of yours that cannot be told to others.”
Gu Zhiren raised an eyebrow and smiled lightly.
He helplessly shrugged his shoulders, then picked up a piece of vegetable and placed it into his bowl before casually continuing,
“Do I really need to play this game with you?”
