The so-called happiness means being comforted; the so-called courage means being able to endure. - Amiel

These days, Ruochu always sneaks away early before getting off work. At first, Xiaochuan thought something was going on at school. When he got home, he discovered the secret. It turned out to be Ruochu messing around in the kitchen.
On the first day, a soup pot was sacrificed gloriously and was burned and leaked by Ruochu. Ruochu explained that he was too busy doing other things to pay attention to it.
The next day, the rice was half-cooked. Ruo Chu explained that this way he could eat less staple food and achieve the goal of losing weight.
On the third day, a pot of fish was mushy like coke. Ruochu said it was her original grilled fish, which gave her the feeling of eating original grilled food in the wild.
On the fourth day, one dish used sugar as salt, and another dish forgot to add seasonings...
On the fifth day, Xiaochuan sat at the dining table uneasily. He had to wait until very late in the past few days to have dinner. He asked for help from Ruochu several times, but Ruochu refused, saying that it was up to her to do it.
She takes care of her father's daily life. Besides, she has become obsessed with cooking these days. She prints out the content on Qin Nan's blog every day and studies it. Xiaochuan doesn't want to disappoint her, not to mention that it's for her own benefit, right?
In fact, Xiaochuan likes to watch Ruochu busy in the kitchen. In his eyes, this child has always been so excellent and perfect. It is rare to be such an idiot for cooking. In fact, it is very happy to see her embarrassed.
thing.
Every time Xiaochuan sees Ruochu discovering that something went wrong and then explaining it to be reasonable in a serious manner, he has to hold back his laughter and almost gets internal injuries. To be honest, he even has a little expectation in his heart every day.
Looking forward to seeing what kind of situation Ruochu will get into today, as long as she doesn't burn down the kitchen. As for the quality of the food, no matter what she does or how well she cooks, he will be happy with it. He doesn't understand how much he cares about food.
I was very picky about why I could eat what Ruochu made.
Ruochu actually learned about what Xiaochuan likes to eat at Qin Nan's place, and then learned to make it. Xiaochuan also understood Ruochu's intention. When he saw that everything Ruochu served was what he liked, he was filled with satisfaction.
It's gratitude.
Although what he likes to eat is Qin Nan's cooking, and even though what Ruochu cooks is just a copycat version, or a copycat version of low quality, he still finds it delicious, even better than Qin Nan's cooking, no matter
Whether there was any seasoning, whether it was mushy or undercooked, he even wondered if there was something wrong with his taste buds.
This is a rare stable and happy day in Xiaochuan's life. Every morning, he walks to work in the sunshine with Ruochu's company, and he has a good mood all day long. After work, he occasionally guesses what will happen to Ruochu tonight. Embarrassing, thinking about it, I couldn't help but smile in the office; I rushed back without delay after get off work, and ran to the kitchen from time to time to visit, and then was kicked out by Ruochu; I was hungry waiting for Ruochu's copycat version. After the meal, he watched how she made excuses for the failed cooking. After the meal, the two of them rushed to wash the dishes, and so far they had broken three bowls and two plates. Xiaochuan happily said that this was called broken peace...
Xiaochuan didn't know how long such a life would last, it might last a long time, or it might end tomorrow, but as long as he had such an experience, he felt that his life was worth it.
Waiting at the dining table obediently made Xiaochuan feel like a rice bug, but Ruochu refused to let him reach out. Watching Ruochu bring up the strange-looking dishes one after another, Xiaochuan
Chuan pretended to be ready to be tortured, but in his heart he was looking forward to it.
"Daddy, start." Ruochu gave the order. Xiaochuan had to taste every dish. This has become a routine, and then Ruochu would wait for his review with gleaming eyes.
Xiaochuan obediently tasted each dish calmly, and then stared at Ruochu in amazement with an exaggerated expression.
"What's wrong, Daddy?" Ruochu also became nervous. This was the first time she had seen Xiaochuan look like this. The few times Xiaochuan had eaten dishes without seasonings, he had never looked this dignified before.
Xiaochuan didn't answer, but got up and went to the kitchen. When he came back, he still looked like that.
"What's going on? Daddy, tell me quickly." Ruochu was a little anxious.
Xiaochuan let out a long sigh, "There are seasonings on every dish today, and the seasonings are not wrong, there are no burnt ones, and no utensils are lost in the kitchen. Ruoruo, can this day be recorded in the annals of history? We want to
Don't you want to go out to celebrate?" Xiaochuan said but still did not take back his exaggerated expression.
Ruochu's face turned red, "Daddy, are you making fun of me? I'm sorry for making you suffer."
Xiaochuan originally meant it as a joke, but looking at Ruochu's look, he felt that he had hurt her. He couldn't bear it and hit Ruochu's head with the end of his chopsticks: "Who said I suffered? I look forward to so much every day. You
I don’t know how many times your cooking skills are better than mine. I feel uncomfortable if I don’t eat what you cook for a whole day. Okay, let’s get going.” After that, he started to eat the food on the table.
Ruochu felt better after hearing what Xiaochuan said, "Daddy, I will cook for you every day from now on until you hate me and no longer need me, okay?"
Xiaochuan's heart moved. Ruochu's words made him moved and sad. How could he hate her? Doesn't she know that she has always been his treasure? Children are children, and they always make promises easily without considering the reality.
.
Xiaochuan forced a smile: "Silly boy, how could I hate you? But you will always get married, and when the time comes, you will have to cook for your husband, not me, do you understand?"
"I don't want to get married, I want to stay with daddy." Ruochu pouted and said stubbornly.
"That won't work. If you become an old girl, how can I be worthy of your parents?" Xiaochuan said it sincerely.
"An old girl is an old girl, aren't you married, daddy?" Ruochu said nonchalantly.
Xiaochuan frowned and realized that the matter was a bit serious, "What if daddy gets married?" he asked tentatively.
Ruochu suddenly put down her chopsticks and looked at Xiaochuan blankly. Her original mission was to make her father happy, and she also wanted him to find true love again, but that doesn't seem to be the case now. If her father remarries, then
Didn't I just want to stay away from his life? I had mixed feelings for a while and didn't know what to say.
"Haha, let's not talk about this anymore, let's eat quickly." Xiaochuan suddenly felt a little sad and deliberately changed the topic.
However, this problem lies in the hearts of two people. Each wants the other to be happy, but the price of happiness is separation, because their happiness cannot overlap. Although they are happy when they are together, they still have their own needs.
Go and look for it, whether you can find it or not.
The two of them still went to work together the next day, but they didn't know how outrageous the rumors about them were in the seemingly calm magazine. It had actually been spread that Xiaochuan's wife in the United States had come to China to force Ruochu.
Abortion is such a mysterious thing, but neither of them knows about it yet.
Ruochu has been guiding the layout in the art department for the past few days, so that if you have any opinions or dissatisfaction, you can immediately put it forward and modify it at any time to avoid rework, which saves the time of the art editor and yourself. Xiaochuan, on the other hand, has nothing to do in the afternoon.
On a whim, I went to the art department to inspect, and the two of them met in front of others.
"Humbert, do you think it's okay to put this picture here, and put the text here?" Ruochu sat next to an art editor, pointed to the layout on the editor's computer, and asked Xiaochuan for his opinion.
"I think this picture can be stretched out as a whole, and all the text can be put on the next page, what do you think?" Xiaochuan crossed his arms across his chest and touched his chin with one hand as he thought.
Ruochu compared it with his hands and told the editor to try what Xiaochuan said. It turned out to be good. "Just do what Humbert said." Ruochu said happily.
"By the way, Humbert, I just arranged a column. Take a look, I'm very satisfied." Ruochu got up and went to another editor's seat and asked the editor to bring out the newly arranged layout for Xiaochuan.
look.
"Well, it's not bad. It's grand but not spacious. I like it very much." Xiaochuan said sincerely.
"Really?" Ruochu looked at Xiaochuan in surprise and asked, not noticing that everyone in the art department was secretly observing their conversation.
"Of course." Xiaochuan said with a smile, not hiding his love for Ruochu at all.
The performance of the two of them inadvertently added to the conversation after dinner.
The two of them were discussing the layout in the art department, and before they knew it, it was time to get off work.
"Sabina, let's go, otherwise no one will dare to get off work." Xiaochuan glanced at the time and found that it was past the end of the day, but no one had left yet.
"Oh, okay." Ruochu didn't think much about it, but he realized it after Jing Xiaochuan said this.
The two of them walked side by side towards Xiaochuan's office.
"It's a little late today, so don't cook. How about I invite you out to eat?" Xiaochuan said in the deserted corridor.
"It's okay. It's not too late. Why don't we go to the supermarket together, dad? Let's go back to PK cooking skills. Do you dare to accept the challenge?" Ruochu said.
Xiaochuan raised his eyebrows and thought the idea was a good one, so he readily accepted it, so the two agreed to meet at the elevator entrance in a few minutes.
Ruochu simply tidied up and walked to the elevator. When he passed by the front desk, he found that the receptionist and a staff member from the distribution department were whispering and pointing. When he saw her, he didn't speak and looked unnatural.
Ruochu was about to ask what was going on, "Ruoruo, I'm here." A familiar voice stopped her. When Ruochu turned around, it was Rousseau, sitting opposite the front desk where guests were waiting.
She realized that the direction pointed by the two men just now was exactly where Rousseau was sitting, and she subconsciously looked back at the two men. They were looking at her, but they quickly ran away when they met her eyes.
Ruochu didn't think much about it.
"Rousseau, do you have anything to do with me?"
"Can't I come to you if I have nothing to do? I'll treat you to a meal, otherwise I'm afraid you'll forget about me." Rousseau also stood up and walked towards Ruochu.
"But..." Ruochu thought about the agreement she had just made with Xiaochuan and groaned, when Xiaochuan walked up from behind her.
"It's Rousseau, long time no see." Xiaochuan greeted Rousseau cordially.
Rousseau replied politely.
"Ruochu, you go and have dinner with Rousseau and have a good time. I have to leave beforehand." Xiaochuan said openly.
Ruochu looked at Xiaochuan in confusion. Didn't they just make an appointment? Why did something happen so soon?
"Won't you have dinner with us?" Rousseau politely invited Xiaochuan.
"Next time, unfortunately, I'm leaving first, it's fun." Xiaochuan glanced at Ruochu, waved to Rousseau, and walked to the elevator first.
"Let's go," Rousseau said.
Ruochu had no reason to refuse, so he had no choice but to follow Rousseau.
So far, a new male protagonist has been added to the rumors about Ruochu, making the version richer and livelier.
