Xia's mother hid outside the door and stamped her feet anxiously. What happened to this damn child? She stopped after asking.
Little did they know that while Xia's mother was worrying outside the door, Xia Shuzhu completely stayed where she was, staring blankly and softly at Lin Ze who was concentrating on cooking.
Staring at his eyebrows, his eyes, his nose, and his lips. The dust-covered memories that had been gradually forgotten invaded her brain like a scourge at this moment, making her turn over and over again and unable to let go.
Is it him? That young man who once lived in despair and vicissitudes of life?
Is it him? The drunken boy who single-handedly saved himself from a den of wolves and tigers? The boy who even though his lower abdomen was scratched, only said, "Don't worry about this, bring me a bottle of wine"——
Lin Ze put in the seasonings and couldn't wait for the cooking wine. He couldn't help but turned around and saw Xia Shuzhu standing by in a daze, and shouted loudly: "Xiaoxia, what are you doing here? Where is the cooking wine I want?"
"Oh -" Xia Shuzhu fetched some cooking wine from the cupboard nervously, then stood aside blankly, neither helping nor making a sound. He just stared at Lin Ze blankly.
Lin Ze got a good taste and controlled the heat well, so he put the lid on the pot and moved to the window to smoke.
Just seeing Xia Shuzhu behind him in a daze, he reached out and touched Xia Shuzhu's forehead and muttered: "You don't have a fever. What kind of drama are you acting in?"
Xia Shuzhu let him touch her smooth forehead and said without any warning: "Have you been to England?"
Lin Ze was stunned, puffed out a puff of smoke, and said with a serious face: "It seems that my acting skills are indeed so incredible that even you believe it."
"I believe you are not lying. You have really been to England. Moreover, you have stayed in a certain bar." Xia Shuzhu said firmly.
Lin Ze couldn't figure out what was wrong with her. He smiled bitterly and shook his head: "So what's the matter?"
"Answer me first, have you been to a bar near the Embassy in London in London?" Xia Shuzhu tried hard to recall some small details from that year.
Lin Ze was even more confused. He scratched his head and said, "I've really been there before. Why, were you a frequent visitor there during your internship?"
Lin Ze really couldn't remember. He had been to many bars in London, so many that he couldn't even count them. Especially during the half-year period when he was degenerate, he drank in all kinds of nightclubs in London and played with all kinds of women. It was normal that he couldn't remember.
"You once saved a girl in a bar and had someone stab her in the stomach for it." Xia Shuzhu stared at Lin Ze and asked cautiously.
She is looking forward to the result and is also very worried about the result. Is that right? No, Xia Shuzhu also likes this unscrupulous, wild and unruly man. Yes, Xia Shuzhu will wonder, what is the identity of the man in front of her? Xia Shuzhu clearly remembers this
After the man left the bar, he got into a black car with a scary license plate.
How should I put it? In the UK, that car, like the domestic military vehicles, has the privilege of running rampant on the road.
Lin Ze stared at Xia Shuzhu's delicate red jade face with a strange expression, suddenly stretched out his fingers to pull her slightly messy hair by her ears, and said with a smile: "Sister, when you said that, I really remembered it.
There is such a thing. Speaking of which, the girl back then looked a bit similar to you. Could it be that she was your long-lost sister?"
Xia Shuzhu's delicate body trembled, and she didn't know whether she was softened by Lin Ze's tender movements, or was shocked by Lin Ze's words. A rich blush crept up on her face, and she waggled her soft lips, speechless.
Lin Ze, who was holding a cigarette in his mouth, felt even more strange. How could Xia Shuzhu, who had always been generous and decent, lose his composure at this juncture. However, after her reminder, Lin Ze really remembered an Asian girl he had saved in a bar in London.
During that period, Lin Ze was still living a decadent and gloomy life. He was drinking heartily that night, but his mood was affected by the obscene scenes of a few second-rate men. He even knocked over a bottle of wine. It was also because he was dizzy from drinking that he lost his hand.
He was actually scratched on the lower abdomen by someone. After finally saving the girl, Lin Ze didn't care, and just asked her to come with a bottle, which was considered as repaying his hero for saving the beauty.
At this moment, Xia Shuzhu's old story was brought up again, and he couldn't help but dig out those very vague memories. Gradually - Lin Ze's cynical face stiffened.
Seeing his reaction like this, Xia Shuzhu's heart softened even more. She raised her hand to rub his cheek and whispered softly: "I am the person you saved, and I am that girl."
The atmosphere seemed to become peaceful all of a sudden. No one in the kitchen made a sound. Xia Shuzhu stared at the man in front of her tenderly. She suddenly felt that God had given her too many gifts.
In the UK, I met this young man who heroically saved the United States but didn't know his name.
In China, I met this man who easily entered my heart. But these two men were actually the same.
Should this be said to be a coincidence or a will of God?
In short, at this moment, Xia Shuzhu's heart was filled with deep love and love for Lin Ze. She even made up her mind that she would never leave Lin Ze again in this life, the man who completely occupied her heart.
After a moment of silence, Lin Ze lit a cigarette under Xia Shuzhu's gentle gaze and grinned, "Are you still shameless?"
"——" Xia Shuzhu was shocked, a trace of surprise flashed across her gentle and delicate face, and more of it was anger. Why is this kid so crazy?
"Even at that time, you couldn't call yourself a girl. According to your current age, you would have been an adult for a long time." Lin Ze puffed out a puff of smoke and slapped Xia Shuzhu's white and tender face, saying in an extremely evil way.
"Get out!" Xia Shuzhu raised his pink fist and wanted to beat Lin Ze.
"The pig's feet are burnt." Lin Ze raised his eyebrows and said seriously. "Get out quickly and don't affect the five-star chef's ability to show his cooking skills to the fullest."
Xia Shuzhu gritted his teeth, stamped his feet, and left the kitchen angrily.
————
"Xiaozhu, what's going on with you? Mom asked you to test him, but why did you start flirting with her just after asking her a question? This bastard really doesn't know what's right, and he even said that my precious daughter is old."
Xia's mother was sitting on the sofa, feeling very sorry for her daughter.
"Oh mom -" Xia Shuzhu held Xia's mother's arm and said coquettishly. "Don't worry about me. Lin Ze is very good to me and is a very good boy."
"What's better? I even argue with you verbally and expect to regress in life?" Xia's mother glared at the old man and said proudly. "Look at your dad, when will you dare to go against my will?"
"Ahem—" Xia's father coughed twice to cover up his embarrassment.
Xia Shuzhu had no choice but to explain: "He just likes to play tricks with words. In fact, he is very manly. Besides, mom, although you are a professor of the Chinese Department, your English level is not much worse, right? Even if you just said one sentence, could it be
Can’t you still hear his pure royal pronunciation?”
"Your mother is not an old fool, how could she not hear it?" Xia's mother rolled her eyes angrily and said, "It's hard to prove his level with just one sentence. I'll try again later after dinner."
"Okay, okay, you are an old woman who is usually good, but how come your daughter is as good as those aunties in the vegetable market?" Father Xia said with a clear understanding of the overall situation. "Now, let alone men, even girls can cook.
How many of them are there? Our daughter is very obedient. Can you try asking her to cook a table of dishes? I think this young man is pretty good. Although he is careless in details, his personality and conduct are passable."
Xia Shuzhu also added more jealously: "That's right, dad is more discerning than you."
"Are you going to piss me off to death?" Xia's mother said angrily.
The father and daughter looked at each other and smiled, not daring to argue.
In half an hour, Lin Ze prepared a table of dishes. Five dishes and one soup, a perfect combination of meat and vegetables. Fortunately, Xia's father had laid a good foundation at the beginning, otherwise it would only take half an hour for Lin Ze to perform at his highest level.
It is as difficult as climbing to heaven.
After placing the food on the dining table, Lin Ze took off his apron and said with a smile, "Uncle and aunt have been waiting for a long time. Come and try how it is."
Just as he was about to go back to the kitchen to clean up, Father Xia grabbed him, pressed him down on the chair, and said with a smile: "Stop working, let me clean up later. Can you still have a drink?"
Lin Ze paused, nodded implicitly, "Yes."
"Haha, come on, let's have some drinks." Father Xia opened the bottle of Wuliangye he had brought with him on this trip, filled it up for Lin Ze, and poured another cup for himself.
Xia Shuzhu felt indescribable happiness and satisfaction when she saw that her father and Lin Ze were getting along so well, and that the whole family was happily eating together.
"Uncle, eat the quick pork knuckle. It was very fresh and tender when I bought it. It should taste good."
"Auntie, I made black-bone chicken soup with wolfberry specially for you. It nourishes the skin and warms the stomach, activates blood circulation and dispels cold."
"Xiao Xia, uncle and aunt haven't even used their chopsticks yet, what are you going to eat?" When it was Xia Shuzhu's turn, Lin Ze said seriously with a straight face.
Xia Shuzhu pursed his lips and said aggrievedly, "I'm almost hungry."
"Haha, come on, you're welcome, let's eat."
The more Xia's father looked at Lin Ze, the more he fell in love with her. When it came to his precious daughter, the two of them couldn't do anything about her. Unexpectedly, she would obey Lin Ze's words. It was true that one thing was worth another.
Xia's mother drank the soup that Lin Zexian so kindly handed her, and the depression in her heart gradually dissipated. This guy looked careless and ignorant, but his cooking skills were really good. This soup was much better than the old man's. Eat again
After taking a few bites of the dishes, I immediately gave Lin Ze a thumbs up for his cooking skills.
"Xiao Lin, do you often cook at home?" Xia's mother put down the bowls and chopsticks and asked in a gentle tone.
"Well, I am an orphan. I have been helpless since I was a child and can only fend for myself." Lin Ze drank a glass of wine and said calmly.
"Orphan?" Mother Xia's woman's unique compassion quickly broke out and she said kindly. "Don't be too sad, these are all fates."
"I understand. Let's not talk about these things. Uncle and aunt, you two should eat more. If it's not enough for me, I won't do it anymore." Lin Ze said sincerely with a smile on his face.
After a very warm meal, Xia's mother's attitude towards Lin Ze gradually improved, while Xia's father became more and more pleased with her.
If a young man can cultivate his cooking skills to this level, he can't get any worse no matter how bad he is. Besides, his daughter is very fond of him, so Xia's father has nothing to worry about.
"Xiao Lin, do you stay here occasionally? I saw you even left your clothes here last time."
Lin Ze, who had just put a piece of pig's knuckle into his mouth, almost choked to death on the bone-filled pig's knuckle. His face turned extremely red, his eyes widened, and he looked at Xia's mother with great grievance.
