Lu Yunfan pushed the cart and followed behind Lin Chen. Seeing Lin Chen standing in the vegetable freezer and skillfully picking out the cucumbers and placing them into the cart, Lu Yunfan quietly took her phone and typed in a search engine…
[How to cook cucumbers?]
There were many ways! From stir-frying cucumber with eggs to Chinese-styled cucumber salad, it did seem plenty!
Lu Yunfan checked the recipe. She thought… forget about the Chinese-styled cucumber salad, but there was a western salad cucumber recipe that looked very easy to make.
Lu Yunfan looked up again and saw Lin Chen putting some herb into the cart. She didn’t recognize the herb, so she secretly took a picture of it and uploaded it to the search engine before discovering that it was called coriander.
The young lady quietly searched for how to cook the coriander. She roughly browsed through it and realized that it was better to make a salad out of it!
However, there were already cucumbers in a cold sauce as a side dish. If she were also to add a coriander salad to the mix, wouldn’t there be too many greens as their side dish?
As soon as Lin Chen placed a vegetable in the cart, the young lady would search for a way to cook them. Her face was scrunched up like a bun.
But she wasn’t willing to say that she didn’t know how to do it in front of Lin Chen, so she could only brace herself and watch as Lin Chen put item after item in.
“Brother Lin Chen…” Lu Yunfan said in a low voice, “Aren’t these too many ingredients? There are only two of us.”
Lin Chen turned around and glanced at Lu Yunfan, then placed the lemon in his hand into the cart. “Didn’t you say you wanted to wash hands and make soup for me? Were you just saying it without meaning it?”
“Of course not… of course not!” Lu Yunfan said without confidence. “I really want to wash hands and make soup for Brother Lin Chen!”
“That’s right. You can practice more if there are more ingredients…” Lin Chen deliberately teased the young lady.
“Then… alright then!” Lu Yunfan bit her lip and lowered her head.
It didn’t matter. She had an excellent search engine in her hand, and the recipes were very detailed. Unless she was really stupid, there should be no problem for her to cook according to the recipe!
At the thought of this, Lu Yunfan cheered herself on. She raised his head and looked at Lin Chen with determination. “Brother Lin Chen! Go ahead and pick what you like to eat. I’ll try my best to make it. If I can’t do it in one try, I’ll try it the second time! If I still can’t do it after doing it twice… I’ll try it three times! Four times! A hundred times! I’ll definitely make Brother Lin Chen satisfied!”
Lu Yunfan had always relied on her high spirits to woo Lin Chen.
Lin Chen looked at the young lady’s serious face, which was filled with gentleness. He rubbed Lu Yunfan’s head with his large hand and took the cart from Lu Yunfan’s hands to take the young lady to the snack area. “Let’s go buy some snacks that you like!”
At home, Lu Yunfan’s mother forbade Lu Yunfan from eating too many snacks. She had never taken the initiative to buy snacks for herself.
The young lady excitedly hugged Lin Chen’s arm. “Brother Lin Chen, you’re so nice! I want to eat sweet potato chips or other snacks that taste like refreshing cucumbers…”
“Why don’t you try some cucumber-flavored biscuits? I heard from Xiao Ran that they’re not bad!” Lin Chen recommended.
When Lu Yunfan heard that it was Lin Ran’s favorite, she immediately nodded. “Okay! Then I want to eat it! I also want to eat some canned walnuts.”
At home, Lu Yunfan definitely wouldn’t be able to eat them because her mother always said that these canned snacks had a lot of artificial ingredients inside, insisting they weren’t as good as the fresh ones.
“I heard from my mom yesterday that although the new walnuts from the supermarket aren’t suitable for the season, they’re all pretty good. Why don’t we get the fresh ones first? If you feel that the taste isn’t good, we can buy some canned ones next time?” Lin Chen said.
When the young lady saw Lin Chen turning his head to look at her, her face was already flushed red, and her mind was in a mess. She nodded her head foolishly. “Mm, Brother Lin Chen, what you said makes sense! Let’s buy some fresh ones first! Please bring me a bag of spicy chicken feet! The taste is especially strong, especially when I watch horror films. I love eating them!”
“Forget it today. I’ll pass by Man Jiang Lou when I get home later. Their braised chicken feet are superb. I’ve already asked my secretary to make an appointment in the morning. I’ll be able to go there later and give you a taste!”
“Wow! Brother Lin Chen, you’re so wonderful!” Lu Yunfan was touched.
“Then what else do you want to eat?” Lin Chen asked Lu Yunfan.
“Chocolate!” The young lady looked at Lin Chen with starry eyes. “When I was dieting to lose weight, the thing I missed the most was chocolate!”
“Okay!” Lin Chen nodded. “Chocolate can still be eaten in moderation!”
After buying chocolate and fulfilling her wish to eat walnuts, Lu Yunfan’s love for Lin Chen grew even bigger. She felt that her Brother Lin Chen was so wonderful that he was becoming more and more loving!
But after they got home, and Lu Yunfan was putting her snacks into the fridge, she was horrified to realize… that she had only bought walnuts and chocolates. The rest of her favorite snacks… seemed to have been quietly replaced by something else by Brother Lin Chen!
The scariest thing was that she didn’t notice anything!
Lu Yunfan turned around, and her large eyes were sparkling when they landed on Lin Chen, who was removing his suit jacket in the living room.
Lu Yunfan nodded and thought to herself…
It was indeed that man’s fault. When she was with Brother Lin Chen… she didn’t even know that her favorite snacks had been put away silently!
However, Brother Lin Chen was handsome!
If she could look at her Brother Lin Chen every day, even if she didn’t eat her favorite snacks, Lu Yunfan would gladly endure it.
At the thought of this, Lu Yunfan happily stuffed the snacks into the fridge and started preparing dinner for Lin Chen.
Who knew that just as Lu Yunfan turned around, she saw Lin Chen standing in front of the kitchen counter.
He had removed his wristwatch and unbuttoned his sleeves. As he rolled up his sleeves, he bent over to look at his phone screen.
He then held onto the kitchen counter with both hands, frowning as he stared at the screen. He slowly scrolled up the screen…
So handsome!
Lu Yunfan restrained her infatuation and moved closer to see what Lin Chen was looking at.
“How to cook cucumbers?” After Lu Yunfan read it out, she blinked and looked at Lin Chen. “Brother Lin Chen, are you helping me search for it?”
“We don’t know when we’ll be able to eat if you cook this all by yourself!” Lin Chen said, “You can heat up the leftover chicken drumstick in the microwave and then cook the rice with the electric rice cooker. I’ll do the rest!”
“Eh?” Lu Yunfan was holding two carrots in her hands. After a moment of surprise, she said firmly, “Brother Lin Chen! We agreed that I’ll make you something delicious today! You have to believe me!”
Moreover, seeing that Brother Lin Chen was searching for cucumbers’ recipes, he definitely didn’t believe her!
“Why don’t we do this? I’ll deal with the fish and spare ribs dishes. You can choose two simple dishes to make, and we’ll have a simple meal of five side dishes and one soup.” Lin Chen smiled gently at Lu Yunfan. “When you learn how to cook in the future, I’ll wait for your big meal!”
Sob… Brother Lin Chen is so good!
