You said you were going to make games, how did you become the richest man without doing anything?

Chapter 101 Birthday Fish Feast (Please Order)

In the kitchen, Liu Mengyuan began to make braised yellow croaker.

She removed the fish's internal organs, scaled and gills, then carved decorative cuts into it with a slanting knife. Her fingers danced nimbly, and each cut was precise and skillful.

Pour salad oil into the pot, heat it to 50%, stir-fry the scallions, ginger and onions, and the aroma will instantly fill the kitchen.

Afterwards, she added Shaoxing wine, salt, tomato sauce, and various seasonings into the pot. Her gestures were gentle and powerful, and the seasonings were like dancing elves in her hands.

When the ingredients are almost ready, put the marinated yellow croaker into the pan and fry over low heat.

Zila Zila Zhi!

The steam from the braised fish wafts from the kitchen. The fish skin is fried until golden brown and blends with the sauce. After the sauce is reduced over high heat, it is lightly thickened with wet starch to make the soup thick and serve perfectly.

"I didn't expect your cooking skills are so good, especially your knife skills." Lu Yu said with a smile.

"I learned knife skills from watching Teacher Fan Jing cook."

Liu Mengyuan said proudly.

Are you kidding? She now has a lot of talents and skills related to eating. It would be too embarrassing if she still can't learn them.

After steaming the sea bass in the pot, Liu Mengyuan started to make pickled fish.

Lu Yu looked at her profile.

Under the soft light, the girl's eyes are smiling, her long eyelashes cast shadows, and her drooping eyelids reveal her charm.

The plump lips are pouty, slightly moist and attractive.

Her cheeks are white with a rosy glow, like freshly steamed cakes, making her mouth water.

After coming back from outside, Liu Mengyuan put on her pleated skirt again. The absolute area between her black over-the-knee socks and the pleated skirt was as white as fat. She bent slightly in front of the stove, showing the curves of her buttocks and beautiful legs in black stockings.

A woman is so attractive when she is concentrating on cooking.

Lu Yu was distracted by what he saw, but he couldn't bear to see her busying herself alone, so he walked over and stood behind her, smiling and saying:
"Let me cook with you."

Sizzle, sizzle, sizzle...

The oil in the pot kept boiling. Liu Mengyuan couldn't hear what Lu Yu said and asked, "Ah? What did you say?"

"Let's cook together!" Lu Yu repeated loudly.

Zila Zila Zhi!

Amid the frying sounds, Liu Mengyuan couldn't hear the last word.

Lu Yu's pronunciation was clearly cai, but she missed the letter c.

If you don't listen to this less, something bad may happen.

Her face instantly turned redder than the fish in the pot.

Wait a minute, you damn well wait a minute!

This, this, this, this, this is too sudden!
First of all, we haven't officially confessed our love and confirmed our relationship yet, so the rituals that should be performed are still to come.

Secondly, this is a kitchen! I'm cooking right now, boy, what the hell are you...

Thinking of this, Liu Mengyuan suddenly realized!

No wonder Lu Yu stood behind him.

But if she continued to cook, she was afraid that she would have to throw all the fish out of the pot.
So... she should hold on to the stove first?

and many more!

Wait for me first!

What a mess of thoughts are going on in my head.

Liu Mengyuan's eyes went blank, his brain froze, and he had no idea what to say or do.

Lu Yu behind him was getting closer and closer, and he could feel the warmth of his breath on the back of his neck.

Because she was too nervous, Liu Mengyuan's beautiful legs were bent inward and trembling slightly.

Hmm, am I going to give myself away as a birthday present?

Then--

Lu Yu picked up a new spatula from the shelf next to her.

"I'll help you turn the pickled fish over. Go check if the sea bass is ready."

? ? ? ? ? ?
Liu Mengyuan turned around and suddenly realized, "So... what you just said was, cooking together?"

"What else?" Lu Yu was stunned.

……

At this moment, all kinds of thoughts flooded towards Liu Mengyuan like a tidal wave.

Lu Yu was indeed a gentleman. He felt a sense of security, a huge sense of shame, and a slight sense of loss...

What the hell!
What is this girl doing?

Who am I, where am I, and where am I going?

Why is there no crack in the ground for me to crawl into?
……

After some hard work, a table full of fish feast was finally ready.

The two of them had been busy for a long time and were hungry, so they started eating without hesitation.

The braised yellow croaker was juicy and melt-in-your-mouth. The sea bass was incredibly tender, its flesh fragrant with ginger and scallions. The pickled fish was sour and spicy, appetizing, and very chewy.

"Wait a minute, I've thought of a wonderful way to eat it."

Liu Mengyuan scooped out a bowl of rice from the rice cooker, picked up the braised fish with chopsticks and placed it on the rice.
Then, she poured a spoonful of steaming hot soup over the fish, and the soup flowed along the potholes of the rice, exuding a rich fish aroma.

Gently pick up the chopsticks, pick up the fish and rice, and put them into your mouth. The feeling of satisfaction is unparalleled.

Liu Mengyuan said, "You should try it too. Last time you taught me how to make soup with rice, I found that not only pork rib soup can be eaten this way, but fish soup can also be eaten this way, and the effect is just as good!"

Lu Yu nodded approvingly: "Very good, you have learned how to enjoy yourself through the way I taught you, and you can apply what you have learned to other situations. You are a teachable child."

……

Halfway through the meal, Liu Mengyuan took out two cans of RIO cocktail from the refrigerator, which she had just bought from a supermarket on the street.

Lu Yu was helpless: "Let me tell you first, I can't drink much."

He was telling the truth. In various social occasions in his previous life, he basically only drank fat otaku happy water.

Not to mention white wine, even low-alcohol beer and red wine can make him drunk with just one bottle.

"It's okay. I'm a girl and can't drink either. We can just have a taste. Today is a happy day after all."

pat!

Liu Mengyuan deftly hooked her finger, unscrewed the ring of the can skillfully, and handed a can to Lu Yu.

Lu Yu looked at the other person with a complicated expression. This was obviously the way an experienced driver opened the can. You tell me you can't drink it?

“Happy birthday!” “Cheers!”

After starting to drink, Liu Mengyuan secretly glanced at Lu Yu, curled his lips, and said:

"Um... I think this wine tastes a bit weird. Is it really grapefruit? I can't tell. I didn't buy fake RIO, did I? Try it carefully."

"is it?"

Lu Yu took a sip, frowned slightly, and asked in confusion: "It tastes like grapefruit."

"That's not right. Taste it carefully. This isn't what grapefruit tastes like, is it?"

Lu Yu took another sip and smacked his lips a few times, his tongue gradually being numb by the alcohol.

"This taste seems... a bit strange?"

Liu Mengyuan blinked, deliberately moved closer to Lu Yu, and whispered:
"Maybe you need to take another sip. You know, the first few sips often don't fully capture the flavor of the wine."

Under her coaxing, Lu Yu got a little tipsy and his head began to shake slightly.

Liu Mengyuan chuckled, the plan worked!
At the sophomore's Sports Research Club gathering, she learned the important information that Lu Yu could not drink much.

But, she couldn't bear to give Lu Yu too much, so she took out two small pocket-sized wine cups and poured the wine into them.

"Let's compete to drink the wine from this cup. Whoever drinks faster gets to ask the other person a question, and they have to tell the truth."

Lu Yu nodded in a daze.

In the first round, Liu Mengyuan first hid his skills and deliberately slowed down, losing to Lu Yu.

In this game, which is similar to Truth or Dare, the person who makes the move last is less likely to fall into a passive position.

If the person who asked the question first asked a prank question, then she can also cover it up with a prank.

If the person who asked first hits a straight ball, she will take it.

Highlight the ability to move forward and backward freely.

Lu Yu thought about it and asked his own question:

"Are you happy now?"

Liu Mengyuan didn't expect Lu Yu to ask this. After a moment's pause, he nodded and said, "Very happy."

“But the kitchen here is very simple, not as good as the kitchen in your big villa, and the bedroom here is also very simple.

You no longer have a nanny to serve you three meals a day. You have to go to the market to buy vegetables and be exposed to cooking fumes in the kitchen... burp!

Lu Yu, who was already drunk, spoke incoherently.

Liu Mengyuan held her little head and looked at Lu Yu carefully:

“Everyone has a different definition of happiness.

At least in my opinion, going to the market to buy vegetables, then making a meal of your favorite fresh fish, pairing it with rice, and having a drink with you is the best way to enjoy it.
Then I sleep until I wake up naturally the next day, go to work, and play my favorite games.

Although it seems a little bit ordinary, I don’t hate this kind of life, I even like it very much.

After all, every ordinary day we go through may be a series of miracles."

Lu Yu fell into a brief contemplation, as if digesting Liu Mengyuan's words, and a trace of relief appeared on his face:
"After all, you've lived a different life for the past twenty years. It's good that you don't feel uncomfortable here."

"how come!"

Liu Mengyuan felt deeply moved, and his eyes became slightly moist.

It turned out that this man had always been considering her feelings, but he was too embarrassed to ask her, so he kept it in his heart.

This is also the reason why Liu Mengyuan decided to let Lu Yu get drunk. She wanted to know more about Lu Yu's heart.

After all, boys like to handle everything on their own.

……

In the second round, Liu Mengyuan was not polite and drank faster than Lu Yu.
She blinked and asked her own question:
"What do you think of me?"

Straight ball!

The girl hit a straight ball!
"I want to get to know you better."

"Deep, deep?"

For some reason, Liu Mengyuan suddenly remembered the misunderstanding in the kitchen just now. Her cheeks suddenly turned red and she fell into wild imagination.

A system screen popped up in front of Lu Yu:

[Employee Liu Mengyuan, imagining some scenes unsuitable for the host to see, is in a good mood and has a critical hit, resulting in a leisure point of +4.5. Considering today is the host's birthday, the system has compressed this scene into a video as a birthday gift and stored it in the system space. Please remember to check it later.]

Liu Mengyuan thought that Lu Yu would directly say whether he liked it or not, but he didn't answer directly, but took a roundabout way.

Lu Yu said intermittently:
"You said before that you wanted to know about my childhood and my family, and I am the same.

I want to know what your past is like, what kind of family you live in, and the story between you and your parents..."

Sweet ripples appeared in Liu Mengyuan's heart.

Although Lu Yu did not answer this question directly, since he considered the issue to this extent, it was self-evident how important he was in his heart.

"I understand. I'll tell you slowly later..."

Before she finished speaking, Lu Yu suddenly interrupted:
"Wait a minute, there are rice grains on your face."

As Lu Yu spoke, he wiped the grain of rice from the corner of Liu Mengyuan's mouth with his finger and put it into his mouth.

Stupid, idiot!
This is an exclusive action between lovers.

Liu Mengyuan's face was as red as an apple.

……

After that, it’s time to eat cake and blow out candles.

Because it was Lu Yu’s 22nd birthday, the cake shop gave him two “2” shaped candles.

"Look, does this candle look like us?" Liu Mengyuan said with a smile.

"Burp, they do look like two idiots."

Two drunk people were grinning at the candles on the cake.

After singing the birthday song and eating the cake, Lu Yu couldn't bear it anymore and fell asleep on the sofa.

Liu Mengyuan covered him with a blanket, then bent down and observed Lu Yu's handsome face with clear edges and corners.

Thinking of today's crystal ball divination results, Liu Mengyuan covered his mouth and laughed.

But...don't be too impatient.

Later, I will let you get to know me more deeply, Mr. Lu.

Looking at Lu Yu's sleeping face, she suddenly had an idea. She turned on the front camera of her mobile phone, put her little face close to Lu Yu's face, made a pouting gesture to look cute, and then pressed the shutter.
