She is my childhood sweetheart, how could I not understand her?

Chapter 192 If You Can’t Drink, Go Sit at the Kids’ Table
Not long after I sent out the recruitment information, I received resumes from some people in my mailbox.

Chen Shen didn't want to hire old hands, even though having old hands leading the team might help them avoid many detours. But at the same time, for Chen Shen, who was a boss for the first time, he had no way of controlling the old hands.

This is also the advice given by Uncle Xu. After all, they are still young and there is no cost for trial and error. Instead of doing it all at once, it is better to train employees slowly.

And it’s cheap for college students!

The salary for a game-related artist should be at least ten thousand yuan, and they really don't need a very good artist for this crappy pixel style.

After screening some resumes, Chen Shen kept a few that he felt were good, saved them, said goodbye to Liu Yujie, and went downstairs.

Today is the first day of New Year's Day. Chen Shen originally planned to go out for dinner with Xu Suiyou, but was rejected by Xu Suiyou with his veto power.

This is Beijing. It's easy to go out on holidays like New Year's Day, but it's hard to come back.
It's hard to get a taxi and the subway is so crowded that you can either walk back in the sub-zero temperature or just stay outside.

Well, it may not be that easy to stay outside. Hotels are quite expensive on New Year's Day.

In the end, the two reached a consensus.

Eat at home!
"Oh? Are you back?"

This question made Chen Shen smile, but after seeing the girl's actions, his expression changed instantly.

He changed his shoes and quickly walked into the living room. He picked up Xu Suiyou, who was cutting steak with a knife at the table, and carefully took the knife away from Xu Suiyou's hand.

"If you have anything on your mind, talk to me. Why do you have a knife?"

"I'm cutting meat."

"But I feel like you're going to cut your hand."

Xu Suiyou blushed, snorted softly and broke free from Chen Shen's arms, but she no longer thought about using the knife to prove herself.

Eating at home also requires a sense of ritual. In addition, Xu Suiyou also bought such an atmospheric red wine, so when Chen Shen was in the studio, he bought a steak using the food delivery app.

It's not that he is a Western worshiper! It's just that since we have red wine, it would definitely be more suitable to pair it with steak.

He was writing code when he arrived, so he asked Xu Suiyou to go down and get it.

But he asked Xu Suiyou to go down and get it, and didn't let this person handle the meat.

"But this steak is pretty good, why are you cutting it?"

Xu Suiyou quickly picked up his phone and played the video of processing steak for Chen Shen.

The steak is not expensive, but there is a layer of fat on it. The video teaches you to shave off the fat on the steak before frying it in the pan.

In fact, it’s not a big deal if you don’t cut it, but as I said, for the sense of ritual, you must take pictures!

It looks better cut.

The chilled steak was very cold to the touch. Chen Shen pressed the still hard steak and cut off the white oily edges very neatly.

"Oh!"

"Is it okay to cut it like this?"

“There’s still a little bit here.”

"now what?"

"this."

"Okay?"

Xu Suiyou nodded, tiptoed to Chen Shen's cheek with a smile, and gave him a sweet kiss.

"Okay!"

"Leave it for a while longer, and you can fry it directly soon."

Considering that Xu Suiyou didn't eat much, he only bought one piece of steak.

As for the rest, he will simply stir-fry some beans and meat, make a plate of cold tomatoes, boil some shrimps, and steam some rice.

We can't just eat Western food, right? He doesn't know how to cook, so he has to learn how to cook steak by watching a video.

Having a steak as a ritual is enough, but to really fill your stomach, you have to have our authentic rice!
The task of wiping the blood off the steak was given to Xu Suiyou, and Chen Shen turned into the kitchen and took out some other ingredients that would be needed.

The meat is already cut when you buy it, but the beans need to be processed separately.

He pinched off one end of the bean, pulling off the silk threads on both sides, and then broke the bean into small pieces of appropriate size.

After a while, Xu Suiyou, who had wiped the blood off the steak, came over again.

Watching Chen Shen's skillful movements, Xu Suiyou couldn't help but hug the man's waist from behind, with her little face pressed against the man's back.

"My boss, who earns millions a month, actually cooks for me personally."

"Why, it's an honor, right?"

"No, I'm afraid. No one in this world would be nice to others for no reason, so you must have some ulterior motive!"

How could anyone think that this girl, who has a unique way of thinking and even does stupid things occasionally, is some kind of cool goddess?
All I can say is that too many people have been deceived by Xu Suiyu's peaceful appearance.

"What am I planning?"

Xu Suiyou didn't answer, or rather, she answered the question by tightly wrapping her arms around her waist.

"Go, wash the beans."

"Good~"

It is true that working together as a man and a woman is less tiring.

Soon, with Chen Shen's efforts and Xu Suiyou's full emotional value, three dishes were brought out of the kitchen by Chen Shen neatly.

Next is the order of steak.

Gently pressing the beef with his fingers, Chen Shen found the video of frying steak.

Because the steak is of good quality and not particularly thick, it does not need to be fried for too long.

"Medium or medium?"

"Try frying it for five minutes. It won't taste good if it's too overcooked."

"Have you eaten it?" Chen Shen was surprised. He really didn't remember Xu Suiyou having eaten steak.

Xu Suiyou had actually eaten it, but not in this life.

“I’ve watched American TV series!”

"Okay, I'll try it first, but how can you eat this medium rare thing? Won't it make your mouth bleed?"

"No, let's try it first."

Chen Shen didn't continue to hesitate, but opened fire first.

I have a frying pan at home, which is perfect for frying steak.

After heating up the pan and making sure the temperature was right, he put the steak directly in.

The tutorial didn't say to pour the oil, so he didn't pour it.

After counting to 45 seconds, he turned the steak over and fry it for another 45 seconds.

Then he turned it over twice and fry it for another 30 seconds each time. After that, he quickly took the steak out with tongs and looked at the sizzling steak on the plate with a doubtful expression.

“Is it really cooked?”

Xu Suiyou picked up the included western knife and cut a little bit off. The cut was not particularly tender, Chen Shen's control of the heat was still a little off, and it was almost seven-tenths done.

Chen Shen was not the type to spoil the fun. Young people always wanted to try new things, so even though he subconsciously had a little resistance to raw food, he still said nothing.

"It feels like medium rare. Is that okay?"

"It's okay, it's okay~ Let's eat~"

All the dishes were served on the table. Chen Shen served the rice while Xu Suiyou took a bottle opener and opened the red wine that had just been taken out of the refrigerator.

A few wine glasses were given as a gift when I bought the red wine, and they came in handy right now.

Chen Shen, holding two small bowls of rice, looked at the dining table that had been set by Xu Suiyou and couldn't help but smile.

"What is this, a combination of Chinese and Western?"

“Why do you care so much when eating at home? Just take pictures~”

After Xu Suiyou posed in various postures in front of the camera, the two sat down and Ms. Xu, with a smile on her face, raised her glass first.

Watching Xu Suiyou gently shaking the red wine glass, Chen Shen couldn't help but think of the song "Princess" by the Rain God. How did it go?
"A shaky wine glass, huh?"

Chen Shen, whose inner thoughts were guessed, grinned: "Right, right, right."

"I know what you're thinking. Cheers~"

The wine glasses clinked lightly, Chen Shen brought the glass to his lips and drank the first sip of red wine in his life.

How should I put it? I can taste the alcohol, but the sour taste overshadows it.

This sour taste soon turned into a sweet taste, which made Chen Shen's originally frowned brows relax.

"How about it?"

"It's quite good, sweet and sour, are you okay?"

"Of course it's no problem~"

He knew his own alcohol tolerance, but had no idea about Xu Suiyou's. However, seeing how confident this man was, he was not too worried.

Besides, they are at home now, not outside, so it’s okay to drink too much. It also allows Xu Suiyou to know her own alcohol tolerance.

After drinking, the next thing to do was to taste the steak that I made for the first time.

Opening his mouth and taking the beef fed by Xu Suiyou, Chen Shen squinted his eyes and chewed for a while, then gave a general comment.

"It's just beef, and I don't think it's as exaggerated as what people say online."

"Yeah, it's just more tender beef."

On this point, the two agreed.

It was still delicious. Xu Suiyou cut the steak skillfully, while Chen Shen had his free hands to help Xu Suiyou peel the shrimps.

After eating for a while, Chen Shen put down his wine glass, smacked his lips, and looked up at the girl sitting opposite him.

Is he too sensitive? Or is Xu Suiyou really forcing him to drink?

He had already gone through one third of the bottle of red wine that had just been opened, and this was already his third glass.

Although it’s not full every time, it happens so often.

He didn't have any problems, but Xu Suiyou's blushing face
"Are you really okay?"

"nothing."

Xu Suiyou answered him in a cheerful tone.

"Is it really okay?"

"It's okay, you think I'm drunk?"

Chen Shen shook his head, pretending to be drunk: "It's mainly because I feel a little dizzy. This is the last drink, okay?"

"Hmm? So fast? You can't do this, Chen~"

Xu Suiyou's frivolous tone immediately made Chen Shen certain that this man had definitely begun to faint!
"I'm really dizzy. This is my last bite."

"Huh? You just said the last cup!"

"Do you want to see me vomit all over the floor?"

"alright."

After Xu Suiyou agreed, Chen Shen quickly reached out and snatched the red wine glass from Xu Suiyou's hand and put it aside. He also took the red wine away and placed it closer to him.

While doing all this, he even kept staring at Xu Suiyou. After all, ever since he took the cup away, this man had been unable to sit still.

The good news is that Xu Suiyou did not fall headfirst to the ground.

Bad news, it's on the table.

Chen Shen quickly walked to Xu Suiyou and gently patted the girl's shoulder.

"Suisui?"

"Well"

His call made the girl open her blurry eyes, and she looked around the room, muttering softly: "Where is this?"

"This is our home, go sit on the sofa for a while."

Chen Shen had just put his hand around the girl's legs and was ready to pick her up, but before he could exert any strength, Xu Suiyou suddenly struggled to push him away, then tried to open her eyes wide and look at him.

"who are you?"

"I'm your unlucky boyfriend."

Will this guy vomit soon?

"Boy friend?"

"Yes." Knowing that Xu Suiyou was in a daze at the moment, Chen Shen cooperated by squatting down so that he and Xu Suiyou could be at the same height.

Then he moved his face closer and even lifted his bangs with his hands.

"I, Chen Shen, am your partner."

"Chen Shen?"

"Hey, here it is."

Seeing Xu Suiyou trying hard to recall his own naive appearance, Chen Shen couldn't help but smile.

It turns out that Xu Suiyou becomes so silly and cute after getting drunk?
If he wasn't afraid that Xu Suiyou would come to settle the score with him after he woke up, he would have wanted to take a picture of this scene.

Eh? No! Why not just take the photo and not tell the person?

Chen Shen realized this instantly and quickly reached out to grab the phone on the table.

But before he could touch the phone, the hand he tried to reach out from in front of Xu Suiyou was grabbed by Xu Suiyou.

“I don’t want to take a photo.”

"Chen Shen?"
