Chapter 85: Soft around the fingers

before leaving,

"Wait a moment!"

Liu Yifei suddenly called out to Gu Bei.

She walked towards a plant stall near the exit. "I remember there wasn't even a single green plant in your apartment. It's not good for air circulation."

"I can't guarantee that I can support you!"

Gu Bei has lived alone for so long and has never grown any flowers or plants.

The flowers and plants in his house are all Spring Festival limited editions. As long as they can survive the Lantern Festival, they can rely on themselves after that.

Liu Yifei's thoughts on embroidery were affected.

She waved her clenched fist: "No!
From now on, I will check every time I go there. You dare to kill a pot of it..."

It's full of threats!
Gu Bei smiled.

After she made her choice, she turned to ask the stall owner:
"What is this called? What is its scientific name? How old is it now?"

Liu Yifei looked puzzled. "Why are you asking these questions? Shouldn't you be asking how to grow these flowers?"

Gu Bei shook his head: "Don't ask, if you ask, I have Plan B."

Although he had no confidence in growing these flowers well,

But after these flowers die, you can buy a pot of exactly the same ones.

Isn’t there a saying that goes, the secret to growing flowers well is to change them frequently?
"Mysterious."

Liu Yifei muttered softly.

The two drove back to Gu Bei's apartment.

Gu Bei's original plan was to cook by himself.

However, after hearing his plan, Liu Yifei insisted on taking over the cooking job instead of Gu Bei.

So, Chef Sissi came online.

"Clang clang clang!"

When Gu Bei walked into the apartment carrying the flower pot, he heard the sound of cutting vegetables coming from the kitchen.

He put down the flowerpot in his hand, leaned against the wall of the living room, and looked carefully at Liu Yifei's back as she cut vegetables.

The way she cut the tomatoes was a little clumsy, like a novice who had just learned to cook, making people want to snatch the knife from her hand and do it themselves.

But Gu Bei himself is not a person with an impatient temperament.

On the contrary, he really enjoyed the tranquility of the moment, which made him understand the power of being soft and gentle.

at this time,

Liu Yifei discovered that Gu Bei was 'peeking' there,
She was a little embarrassed at first, and even her neck was slightly flushed.

But I've adapted a lot today.
She quickly calmed down, glared at Gu Bei, and raised the kitchen knife in her hand:

"What are you still looking at? Hurry up and bring up the remaining flower pots!"

Well, this girl can't be considered as a softie.

Gu Bei was already certain that she must have practiced before, and the hand holding the kitchen knife was quite steady.

Liu Yifei bought a total of six pots of flowers and plants. Gu Bei moved them one by one from the car to the apartment, which immediately made the apartment much fresher.

"It's ready to eat."

Liu Yifei's voice came from the kitchen.

So fast?
Gu Bei was a little confused.

How does Liu Yifei manage to serve the food so quickly when her cooking skills are so unfamiliar?
As soon as he sat down at the dining table, Liu Yifei brought the plate out from the kitchen and placed it in the center of the table.

"This is the only dish I could cook before I met you!"

Liu Yifei introduced it very solemnly.

There was a dish of scrambled eggs with tomatoes.

After a pause, she remembered something and carefully brought out a bowl of soup from the kitchen.

“This is the dish I invented today!”

"You invented tomato egg drop soup?"

"You didn't teach me, and I didn't learn it from anyone else." Liu Yifei acted very confidently, "I just think this dish is too shabby. Besides, don't you people in Hangzhou like to eat soup with your meals?"

Gu Bei looked at the bowl of egg drop soup, which had some oil floating on it. It was estimated that the tomatoes were the same ones that had been fried in the tomato scrambled eggs.

Liu Yifei felt a little uneasy and observed his expression carefully: "Don't you like it?" Gu Bei looked at her with a smile: "What will happen if I say I don't like it?"

Liu Yifei read the teasing on his face.
She waved her clenched fist without any fear: "Then..."

Gu Bei didn't continue joking, but said very seriously: "I like it very much!"

She has already cooked the only dish she knows how to cook.

How could Gu Bei bear to give any other answer?

and,

Gu Bei's favorite,
It's this kind of everyday fireworks.

"Hey hey hey!"

Liu Yifei couldn't help laughing out loud.

Then, she felt that she was not a lady at all.

He quickly covered his mouth with both hands, covering everything from his hump nose to his chin.

However, from her slightly raised almond-shaped eyes,
You can still easily tell her happiness and joy, it is overflowing.

After a pause, she was about to pick up her chopsticks when she realized that something very important was missing from the table:
"Oops! It burned too fast, the food isn't even ready yet!"

"Hahaha!"

Gu Bei laughed out loud.

He picked up Liu Yifei's bowl and poured her a bowl of egg drop soup:

"You already know that we Hangzhou people eat soup with our meals.
Have you ever heard the saying, "Drink soup before eating, and you will live to be ninety-nine!"

Liu Yifei saw Gu Bei's actions,

Although my heart was filled with joy, my honesty came back:

"But...what if I want to live to be a hundred years old?"

"Then I'll accompany you!"

Gu Bei didn't need to think, his subconscious instinct responded.

Liu Yifei only felt her cheeks getting hot, and she could only hide it by lowering her head to drink soup.

During the meal, the two of them had a great conversation.

After dinner,

Gu Bei smiled and said, "Thank you, Chef Xixi, for dinner tonight. Let me wash the dishes."

For everyone who cooks, it would be great if there is someone who can help them take on the responsibility of washing dishes.

Liu Yifei got up happily and walked around Gu Bei's apartment.

The last time I came here was during Christmas.

More than two months have passed, and there has been almost no change here. It still remains simple and tidy.

The biggest change may be the goldfish in the tuner, which has become a little fatter.

"Come on, let me take you to the movies."

After washing the dishes, Gu Bei picked up the car keys and waved to Liu Yifei.

Liu Yifei stood up happily.

While watching a movie might sound cliché, it really depends on who you're watching it with.

Besides, it wasn't like she went out to the movies with anyone else alone.

but,

Gu Bei drove her to a unique parking lot.

Liu Yifei looked around and there didn’t seem to be any buildings that looked like a cinema here?

Just as she was about to get out of the car, Gu Bei stopped her and explained, "This is a drive-in theater. We can just wait in the car for the movie to start."

Liu Yifei was slightly stunned.

She soon noticed the difference.
The cinema is like being in a strange space with a group of strangers.

A drive-in theater, on the other hand, is like being in a familiar space with a familiar person.

Here... there are only two of them!
