Going home for the New Year during the winter break, I encountered a cool school girl on the high-sp

Chapter 239 I Can Steam Spare Ribs (Thanks for Reading~)

While waiting, Lin Muxi excitedly paced around the kitchen.

He looked at the steamer for a while, then at the marinated spareribs, hoping that his first steamed spareribs would be successful.

Chen Chen smiled helplessly and said:
"Now we can prepare for another step."

Lin Muxi was slightly stunned, raised his head in confusion, blinked his eyes and said:

"Ah? But the water isn't boiling yet."

Chen Chen tapped her head gently.
"Cooking rice, are you planning to eat only spareribs and no rice?"

Lin Muxi suddenly realized it, slapped his head, and smiled embarrassedly:
"Oh, yes, I forgot."

Chen Chen turned around and prepared to pour the rice.

Lin Muxi followed Chen Chen closely like a little tail, with a gleam in his eyes.

Seeing Chen Chen holding the measuring cup, she raised her head slightly, and said with a hint of eagerness in her tone:
"Senior, I want to cook rice..."

"Do you know?"

"Can you teach me?"

Chen Chen nodded gently, "Okay."

He handed the measuring cup to Lin Muxi, "Cooking rice is also very simple. Let's determine the amount of rice according to the number of people eating."

“Then how should it be quantified?”

Chen Chen replied, "Generally speaking, one cup of rice is enough for one person. Since there are two of us, we'll use two cups."

Lin Muxi poured the measured rice into the rice cooker pot as Chen Chen said, then looked up at him.

"Senior, is this the amount?"

"That's right. Now try collecting water to wash the rice."

Lin Muxi excitedly took the inner pot, ran to the sink, carefully filled it with water, and began to gently knead the rice.

Following Chen Chen's instructions, he changed the water twice until it became clear.

Then, Chen Chen instructed her to add the appropriate amount of water, looked at the scale line, and patiently explained the ratio of water to rice.

"Okay, just put the lid on, press the cook button, and wait."

Chen Chen said with a smile.

Lin Muxi happily pressed the button, then raised his head, his eyes full of a sense of accomplishment.
"Senior, I learned how to cook rice!"

"Awesome."

Twenty minutes had passed while the rice was cooking. Chen Chen said:

"It's almost time. Now you can put the ribs into the steamer, cover it, and steam it over high heat for thirty minutes."

Lin Muxi carefully placed the ribs into the steamer, then stared at the steamer closely, as if this would make the ribs steamed faster.

"Cooking doesn't seem that difficult."

“It’s not difficult.”

Thirty minutes later, Chen Chen reminded:
"Xiaoxi, turn off the heat and simmer for another five minutes. This will make the ribs more thoroughly cooked and taste better."

Lin Muxi followed the instructions obediently, with a hint of nervousness and excitement in his eyes.

Finally, five minutes passed and she couldn't wait to open the steamer.

A burst of hot air with the aroma of pork ribs blew towards him. Lin Muxi jumped up excitedly as he looked at the tempting ribs in the steamer.

"Senior, it worked! I really steamed the ribs!"

Chen Chen smiled and patted her shoulder, saying, "Xiaoxi, you are great!"

Lin Muxi picked up a piece of pork ribs, blew on it, and passed it to Chen Chen's mouth, his eyes full of anticipation:

"Senior, please try it!" Chen Chen smiled and took a bite. The tender and juicy ribs spread in his mouth, and the taste was just right.

He looked at Lin Muxi and said seriously:
“This is the best steamed pork ribs I have ever had.”

After hearing this, Lin Muxi's face blossomed into an extremely bright smile. At that moment, the whole kitchen was filled with the smell of happiness.

Then, Chen Chen simply stir-fried some vegetables.

Lunch was good.

The two of them brought out the food together, sat opposite each other, and enjoyed this loving lunch.

After lunch, the two of them cleaned up the dishes together.

After washing the dishes and arranging them neatly, the two of them snuggled up on the soft sofa in tacit understanding, enjoying the short but extremely comfortable lazy time in the afternoon.

Lin Muxi leaned gently on Chen Chen's shoulder, and their figures intertwined on the sofa, like a warm painting.

A classic old movie was playing on TV. The picture was a little old, but it carried the charm of time.

The plot of the movie may not be new, and may even seem a bit bland in the eyes of many people.

But for them who are immersed in each other's company at this moment, every scene and every line seems to be endowed with special meaning and becomes particularly moving.

Lin Muxi was fascinated by the movie, with a gleam in his eyes, and was deeply attracted by the plot of the movie.

When she saw the exciting part, she subconsciously turned her head and wanted to share her inner thoughts with Chen Chen.

However, the moment she turned her head, she found that Chen Chen had fallen asleep without her knowing when. His eyes were slightly closed, his breathing was even and slow, and there was a relaxed expression on his face.

Lin Muxi's mouth corners slightly raised, revealing a gentle smile.

She gently placed Chen Chen's head on her legs, her movements gentle and cautious.

Looking at Chen Chen sleeping soundly on his legs, Lin Muxi's heart was filled with happiness and satisfaction.

She stared at his face quietly, as if she wanted to imprint this moment deeply in her heart.

She knew that such an ordinary yet beautiful day, without any grand plot or earth-shaking vows, was the true meaning of happiness she had always been pursuing.

In this bustling, noisy and ever-changing world, it is a precious thing to have such a person by your side and spend every simple and warm moment together.

Like the brightest star in the night sky, it illuminates her entire world.

In the quiet atmosphere, the cell phone rang suddenly.

Lin Muxi was immersed in looking at Chen Chen's sleepy eyes and was startled by the sudden ringing of the bell.

She quickly picked up the cell phone next to the sofa and quickly set the ringtone to silent mode.

She subconsciously looked down at Chen Chen and saw that he was still sleeping quietly with no sign of being woken up. She then breathed a sigh of relief.

Then, Lin Muxi lowered his head and looked at the phone screen, wanting to know who was calling.

It turned out to be a video call from Qin Yao. Lin Muxi didn't hesitate at all, just flicked his finger and hung up.

Soon, Qin Yao sent a message: [What are you doing? ]

As soon as Lin Muxi saw the message, an excited smile appeared on his face.

She couldn't wait to share her joy with Qin Yao: [Yaoyao, I can steam spareribs now!]

Thinking of the new skills she had learned, she felt a sense of accomplishment.

After a while, Qin Yao's reply came:
[Look how happy you are. It's just steaming spareribs, isn't it? What's so great about that?]

Lin Muxi replied unwillingly: [Can you?]

Qin Yao replied calmly: [I don't know how to do it.]

Lin Muxi's mouth curled up slightly, and his fingers quickly tapped on the screen: [You can't, but I can. ]
