Regarding the matter of awakening lightning abilities after transformation

Do I need to change clothes when I go out to buy groceries?

Gu Cheng sat on the edge of the bed watching Su Wanxi, who was only wearing underwear, rummaging through her outer clothes, and couldn't help but ask in confusion.

"Work clothes are too conspicuous, and high heels are tiring to wear."

Su Wanxi picked out a light-colored knitted cardigan and took out a white pleated skirt from the closet. She paired it with sheer stockings and short leather boots, looking both beautiful and cool.

"Let's go, we'll talk about what we want to eat on the way." After taking the keys and phone, Su Wanxi naturally took Gu Cheng's arm.

It was almost 7:30 when they left the apartment. The two went to the nearest supermarket, where Su Wanxi said the ingredients were of good quality.

"Choose whatever you like to eat, I'm fine with anything." Gu Cheng wasn't picky about food, and considering that Su Wanxi hadn't been learning to cook for very long, she simply gave the choice to the other party and made what Su Wanxi was best at.

Su Wanxi walked and looked around, while Gu Cheng helped her taste the ingredients, packing them into plastic bags whenever she found something suitable.

"This potato is too hard and has deep holes, try another one... Look at this one, it releases water as soon as you pinch it."

"Celery stalks with flat tips are considered too old if they're curled up..."

The sales clerk stared in surprise at the young woman in front of her, never expecting that someone in their twenties would know so much about such trivial matters.

As they browsed, Gu Cheng's lips subtly curved into a smile, and Su Wanxi's eyebrows arched in response. It had been a long time since they had strolled hand in hand like this, chatting about everyday matters while selecting vegetables.

The most comforting moments are often the most ordinary. A woman clenches her fist tightly, savoring the hard-won warmth.

I hope that ten years from now, they can still walk into the supermarket side by side, put down the pressures of work and life, and chat casually between the shelves.

After a while, Gu Cheng noticed that most of the items in her shopping cart were vegetables, with the only meat being chicken breast, which was relatively easy to prepare.

It seems Su Wanwan hasn't quite mastered the art yet... She doesn't even dare to touch her favorite sweet and sour pork ribs... Gu Cheng asked the sales clerk to pack two pieces and freeze them first, so Su Wanxi could learn how to make them herself.

By the time they returned to the apartment carrying their bags, it was completely dark, with a bright moon hanging in the distant night sky.

Su Wanxi repeatedly told Gu Cheng not to enter the kitchen, so the latter had no choice but to sit on the sofa and watch TV to pass the time.

"Then I'll wait!"

"Mmm," Su Wanxi replied softly, then slammed the kitchen door shut.

After watching TV for five minutes, Gu Cheng heard the crisp sound of shoveling vegetables next door. Her attention was immediately drawn to it. It would be a lie to say she wasn't curious; she really wanted to know what kind of dishes Su Wanxi could make.

"You'd better not get your hopes up too high." Gu Chengyan poured cold water on Gu Cheng at the right time, and the latter pouted, rarely arguing with her.

"Don't talk nonsense. The fact that Wanwan brought it up herself means she's absolutely certain."

Having assisted her so many times, Gu Cheng had some basic experience, so she wasn't worried at all that the other party would create some kind of culinary disaster.

"Besides, even if it's not delicious, I'll lick the plate clean." Too lazy to say anything more to Gu Chengyan, this single dog, she wasn't eating dinner, but rather Su Wanxi's heartfelt gesture.

The sound of a door opening came from behind her, and a refreshing aroma of food wafted into the living room. Gu Cheng was about to turn around when Su Wanxi called out to her.

"Orange, wait until all the dishes are served before you look at it."

Gu Cheng immediately sat up straight like a good girl, her toes gently digging into the sofa, feeling as if countless ants were crawling inside her.

Chapter 265, Section 260: Waaaaah, my cooking is awful!

Cooking is all about color, aroma, and taste. If it smells good, it usually won't taste bad. The girl put her hands on the sofa and peeked out.

"Can we eat now?" Gu Cheng had almost digested her afternoon tea and was now quite hungry.

Su Wanxi untied her apron and wiped the fine sweat from her forehead: "Wait, I'll go get another bottle of red wine."

It was all done quite formally... Gu Cheng put on her slippers and went to the bathroom to wash her face, and also applied some of the facial cleanser that Su Wanxi had used. When she returned to the living room, the dining table was already set, and the deep red liquid in the wine glasses emitted a sweet glow.

Su Wanxi crossed her hands over her lips, a smile playing on her lips. Her snow-white skin was made even more alluring by the table lamp, truly living up to the saying "a feast for the eyes."

Gu Cheng pulled out a chair and sat down opposite. On the table were three dishes and a soup: fragrant stir-fried green peppers with pork, glistening braised eggplant, and a uniformly colored tomato and egg soup. The dishes were all brightly colored and looked quite appealing.

"Want to try it?" Su Wanxi pursed her lips, her tone filled with anticipation.

So, under the gaze of those dark eyes, Gu Cheng picked up her chopsticks, solemnly picked up a piece of chicken, and put it in her mouth to savor it carefully.

"..."

The first sensation when Gu Cheng's tongue touched the chicken was saltiness, followed by an indescribable spiciness, as if she had been sprayed in the face with choking car exhaust. Gu Cheng endured the stimulation and chewed several times before swallowing it with difficulty.

"Delicious." Without even a tremor in her voice, the girl quickly took a sip of red wine, the unique fruity bitterness slightly easing the spiciness in her mouth.

Did Su Wanwan forget to remove the seeds from the green peppers? Why is even the chicken so spicy...? Recalling her argument with Gu Chengyan earlier, Gu Cheng began to regret speaking so confidently.

With her lover's approval, Su Wanxi's voice was clearly filled with laughter: "Eat more if you like it." As she spoke, the woman piled food into Gu Cheng's bowl, and soon it was piled up like a small mountain.

To eat or not to eat, that is a very serious question. Gu Cheng swallowed, a faint spiciness tantalizing her tongue.

Picking up a piece of eggplant, the taste was indeed much milder. The girl asked softly, "Wanwan, how long have you been learning to cook?"

Su Wanxi gathered her long hair, rested her chin on her hand, and her smooth, glossy nails were pleasing to the eye.

“I started learning as soon as you came back. First, I watched online tutorials, and then I bought some cooking books.”

It took about a month of back and forth. After all, Miss Su didn't have much experience and was usually busy with work, so it was already quite difficult for her to find time to learn how to cook.

Thinking of this, Gu Cheng was even more reluctant to dampen her lover's enthusiasm. She ate her food in small bites, occasionally picking up her wine glass and chugging it down.

"Eat slowly, there's more in the pot." Su Wanxi looked at the soft and tender eggplant on the plate, and a smile gradually spread across her face.

Aside from the stir-fried green peppers with pork being too spicy, the other dishes were barely passable. Gu Cheng hesitated for a moment before asking, "Wanwan, aren't you hungry...?"

Su Wanxi simply rested her chin on her hand and looked at her, her dark pupils shimmering. After a moment, she nodded.

"I'm hungry... but seeing you eat makes me full." Nothing makes Su Wanxi happier than her lover's affirmation. She suddenly felt that all her efforts in front of the stove every night were worthwhile.

"This is my first time making stir-fried green peppers with pork. I hope you like it."

When they first met, did Gu Cheng have the same feelings when he invited her to dinner...? Su Wanxi picked up her chopsticks, took a piece of green pepper, and slowly brought it to her lips.

"..." After chewing lightly for a couple of times, the woman subconsciously frowned, her facial expression control skills, honed since childhood, coming into play at this moment.

"Stop eating, I'll make another one." Su Wanxi seemed to understand why Gu Cheng had been drinking from a wine glass from the beginning.

That's so spicy, only a ghost could eat it.

......

In the end, Gu Cheng still pulled Su Wanxi to sit down. She had a small stomach, so eating one less dish wouldn't be a big deal.

"The green peppers in stir-fried pork with green peppers usually need to be seeded, unless you have a particularly strong palate... Putting aside the green peppers, you've made the pork very fragrant."

Su Wanxi was much more picky about food than Gu Cheng, and she knew that the other woman was trying to comfort her, so she unconsciously pursed her lips into a straight line.

"I understand." The recipe says that the chili peppers should be seeded, which explains why Gu Cheng always had to process the washed green peppers a second time.

Seeing that Su Wanxi was in low spirits, Gu Cheng didn't know how to comfort her, so she could only try harder to eat the other dishes, like a starving ghost reincarnated.

"The eggplant tastes just right, not as greasy as the ones served in restaurants."

"The celery is crisp and crunchy, it's especially delicious..."

As she spoke, a cool touch came from her lips, and when she looked down, she saw a slender, fair hand. Su Wanxi gently wiped away the rice grains stuck to the corner of the girl's mouth, her delicate and lovely cheeks flushed with the smell of alcohol.

Gu Cheng's breathing gradually became erratic, her mind seemingly completely absorbed by those shimmering eyes.

Su Wanxi was very satisfied with her lover's performance. She leaned forward slightly, her hot breath brushing against the girl's curled eyelashes.

"orange..."

Instead of kissing her, she reached out and pinched Gu Cheng's puffed-out cheeks, gently rubbing their noses together.

This light, fleeting touch made the delicate body in front of her tremble slightly. Gu Cheng felt her whole body burning up. She looked at the red lips that were so close to her, which were even more luscious than usual because of the alcohol, and her desire surged like a flood.

Without the slightest hesitation, she parted her cherry lips and kissed Su Wanxi's lips, straightening her legs as much as possible.

Gu Cheng's actions coincided with Su Wanxi's, who kissed her even more passionately, sometimes sucking and sometimes nibbling.

The half-filled bottle of red wine stood like a quiet observer, its reddish-brown glass reflecting the exquisite figures of the two beauties.

Temporarily forgetting the unfinished dinner, Su Wanxi held the girl tightly in her arms, leaving Gu Cheng unable to move and only able to let the other's sweet body fragrance and the smell of alcohol fill her nose and mouth.

"Since the food isn't to your liking..." Su Wanxi pressed down on Gu Cheng's hand, spread her legs apart with her knees, and pressed her diagonally onto the sofa cushions.

"Then let's try another one."

As her alluring, husky voice faded, Su Wanxi ignored the girl beneath her struggling with a mixture of resistance and desire. She slipped her fingers inside the skirt and gently tugged at the sheer stockings, which were as thin as cicada wings.

Her mind grew increasingly foggy, and her once clear brown eyes became hazy. Gu Cheng swallowed, her voice sounding like a soft moan or a coquettish complaint.

"Wanwan...be gentle..."

The mental string snapped along with the tearing sound of the pantyhose. Su Wanxi leaned close to Gu Cheng's earlobe and blew hot air on it, the thin calluses on her fingertips adding a touch of sensuality to the touch.

"Relax~"

Chapter 261, Section 266: But I Don't Regret It

After their tender moment, the two were too lazy to clear the table, so they each took a few changes of clothes and went into the bathroom.

"Wanwan, help me up~" Her voice was soft and gentle, with a hint of coquettishness rarely seen in her voice.

Gu Cheng's legs went weak, and she clung to her lover's shoulder like a kitten. Su Wanxi didn't say anything when she saw this, but instead bent down, put her arms around the girl's legs, and lifted her up with her arms behind her back.

In a classic princess carry, Gu Cheng instinctively wrapped her arms around Su Wanxi's neck, the sweet fragrance lingering in her nostrils.

Su Wanxi helped Gu Cheng into the bathtub and stood by adjusting the showerhead. When the water temperature was just right, she lay down in as well, her fair and shapely legs resting against her lover's hips.

"Are you not leaving this time?" The woman leaned back in the bathtub, her long eyelashes glistening with steam.

"Mmm." Gu Cheng responded softly, looking down at the water that had risen above her knees.

"The person I'm looking for is in Beidu."

Lin Shusheng should pay the price for his mistakes and negligence. The girl's eyes narrowed slightly, her tone clearly cold.

Su Wanxi also lowered her head, looking at her pretty face reflected in the water. Her clear, bright brown eyes were filled with a thin mist, like cold stars and autumn water.

Su Wanxi didn't know what Gu Cheng had gone through during her low period; she only regretted that she hadn't been able to offer care and support when Gu Cheng needed her most.

She missed the most important year.

"Is the person you're talking about me?" Su Wanxi bit her lower lip, a bitter and aching feeling welling up inside her.
