When Zhou Sen mentioned Mr. Liang in this tone... he was jealous!

But quite restrained.

Lu Xiangyi secretly smiled in his heart.

She was very curious, how did Zhou Sen mistakenly think that Assistant Liang was pursuing her?

If the door is not closed for a long time, the smart lock will emit a low alarm sound.

Zhou Sen didn't care, and kept staring at Lu Xiangyi.

Lu Xiangyi nodded, and said seriously, "Well, he can't know!" If Assistant Liang knew, her father would know.

She still cares about that man's feelings!

Zhou Sen suddenly remembered that night, Lu Xiangyi ran towards that man and walked into the hotel with him...

Tsk, he has a toothache!

He touched his cheek with the tip of his tongue, and snorted softly, "What's so good about him? He's so old!"

Lu Xiangyi suppressed a smile, "That's called maturity!"

"Young people will always mature one day." Zhou Sen said meaningfully, "Old men will only get older."

Lu Xiangyi seemed to understand, but didn't really want to understand, so he blinked, "Are you still cooking?"

"Just do it!" Zhou Sen rolled up his shirt sleeves, "I'll let you see how young people can act!"

Lu Xiangyi lowered his head and secretly laughed.

A man who competes with his own imagination is so cute!

Zhou Sen put on an apron and sorted out the newly bought seasonings.

Lu Xiangyi found that many of them were the basic seasonings of Chinese food, and couldn't help being curious, "You bought so many new ones? Didn't you have them at home?"

Zhou Sen's family used to have only a few simple western food seasonings.

He seldom cooks by himself, and occasionally he simply frys a piece of steak without much seasoning.

He took out the last seasoning and shook it at Lu Xiangyi, "Don't you like Chinese food? I bought it just for you!"

Lu Xiangyi was a little overwhelmed by such a straightforward show of favor.

The main reason is that Zhou Sen discovered that she likes to eat Chinese food!

They just had a few meals together, she never told Zhou Sen!

Zhou Sen closed the refrigerator door, and said slowly, "One of the benefits of being young - no presbyopia, strong observation skills!"

He seemed to be competing with Assistant Liang, but in essence he was competing with her father.

Lu Xiangyi laughed angrily, "He's not old!"

Zhou Sen took a few ingredients and threw them into the vegetable sink, with a calm expression, "I'm not as young as I am!"

What he said...was true.

Lu Xiangyi retreated to the edge of the Nakajima stage, resting his chin with both hands, looking at Zhou Sen with a smile on his face, "Is it because you are not confident that you are so jealous?"

Zhou Sen was stunned for a moment.

Maybe.

After all, whether it was the man Lu Xiangyi went to find at the hotel or the man he ran into at the door, they all seemed to be of unusual status.

If he was familiar with the influential figures in the shopping malls in City A, he might have fully recognized those two men.

Of course, you can never admit that you are not confident!

"No way!" Zhou Sen took out a knife, and cut the ingredients gracefully, "You are all in my house! And he—doesn't know where you are?"

Of course I don't know, and I can't let him know!

Lu Xiangyi was speechless for a while, as if he was convinced by Zhou Sen's logic.

"Come and help me." Zhou Sen said, "I'm cooking now."

Lu Xiangyi had never been in a kitchen and knew nothing about it, but she was willing to do something with Zhou Sen.

She went around to the counter, "Do you want me to chop carrots for you?"

"Hob block." Zhou Sen said.

Lu Xiangyi didn't know how to cut it, but she had eaten it!

She thought about the shape of the hob block, and felt that she probably knew how to cut it. She picked up the knife and gestured for a long time, but she didn't know how to cut it.

Zhou Sen watched her gesturing back and forth, walked over and held her hand, "I'll teach you."

The heat of his palm wrapped around her hand.

Direct and enthusiastic.

As if to secretly tell her something.

Lu Xiangyi turned his head to look at Zhou Sen, breathing slightly short of breath.

"What are you looking at me for?" Zhou Sen's handsome face was solemn, "Look at my sword skills."

Lu Xiangyi pursed his lips.

Obviously, he took the opportunity to tease her, and he was serious.

Then she also pretended to be simply learning sword skills.

Zhou Sen adjusted the angle of the carrot, held Lu Xiangyi's hand, and motioned for her, "Strength."

His warm breath sprayed behind Lu Xiangyi's ears. His body temperature also wrapped up from behind, as if to wrap Lu Xiangyi completely.

Lu Xiangyi became dull for a moment before starting to exert force.

A piece of carrot was cut out, rolled several times, and almost ran off the cutting board.

"Well!"

Lu Xiangyi reached out to grab it, but Zhou Sen moved faster than her, and she accidentally covered his hand.

Zhou Sen seemed to hug her from behind.

An indescribable ambiguity spread between the two.

Lu Xiangyi didn't know how far Zhou Sen was from her, but physically, she felt that Zhou Sen was almost close to her.

"Concentrate." Zhou Sen switched his left hand and held Lu Xiangyi's instead, "We are cutting carrots."

Lu Xiangyi crazily brainwashed himself: They were cutting carrots, simply cutting carrots!

Even so, she was a little stiff.

Zhou Sen seemed to have noticed it, and gave a low laugh.

With his smile, a hot breath permeated the back of Lu Xiangyi's neck.

Extra provocative.

After cutting half a carrot, Lu Xiangyi reached his limit and said, "I have learned."

"real?"

Zhou Sen didn't let go of Lu Xiangyi, he looked very sincere and wanted to teach her.

In fact, he just thought it was fun to tease the little girl and see her helpless in his arms, and he was reluctant to let her go.

Lu Xiangyi was too lazy to talk, and started cutting directly.

Her movements were clumsy, and she couldn't grasp the size of the carrot chunks well, but what she cut out was indeed hob chunks.

"It seems that I have really learned it." Zhou Sen said in a regretful and fulfilling tone, "I'm going to boil the water."

It took Lu Xiangyi more than ten minutes to cut a carrot, and her heartbeat gradually calmed down.

At the end, she pretended to be natural, looked at Zhou Sen, "It's done!"

Zhou Sen looked at the fruits of her labor and boasted, "Not bad! It seems that I am very suitable to teach you."

Lu Xiangyi was too lazy to discuss this with him, and looked at the vegetables in the sink, "I can wash the vegetables for you! You don't need to teach me this, I will!"

Zhou Sen showed a startled expression, "Miss Lu actually knows how to wash vegetables? What a surprise!"

"..." Lu Xiangyi was proud of failing, and obediently washed the vegetables.

Zhou Sen took out a fish and said that he wanted to make steamed fish.

After Lu Xiangyi finished washing the dishes, there was nothing he could do to help. She stood aside and looked at Zhou Sen, "You are so good at Chinese food!" Zhou Sen grew up abroad, and even if he knew how to cook, she thought he was better at Western food.

"I learned from my grandma." Zhou Sen smiled, "I live in country M, but I basically eat Chinese food."

"No wonder!" Lu Xiangyi looked at Zhou Sen carefully, "You...do you miss grandma very much?"

Zhou Sen was stunned for a moment, "We will be able to eat soon!" After finishing speaking, he put the fish into the steam oven and did not answer Lu Xiangyi's question.

The answer is already obvious.

Lu Xiangyi looked at his back, feeling a little distressed, but did not continue this topic.

Perhaps, with the current relationship between her and Zhou Sen, it is not suitable to discuss such a serious matter.

Or, deep down in Zhou Sen's heart, he still did not accept the departure of his only relative.

"Is the soup ready to drink?" Lu Xiangyi volunteered, "I can help you taste it!" "Yes." Zhou Sen handed a small bowl to Lu Xiangyi and blew on it, "Try it."

After Lu Xiangyi finished drinking, his eyes widened in surprise, "It's delicious, the taste is just right!"

Zhou Sen looked down at her, with a slight smile on his lips, and intoxicating tenderness in his eyes.

Lu Xiangyi's surprised look gave him a sense of accomplishment.

Lu Xiangyi was also taken aback.

She had an illusion in a trance—she and Zhou Sen were like a young couple living their lives.

Hey, she can't feel this way yet!

Zhou Sen seemed to see that Lu Xiangyi was uncomfortable, "Go and set the dishes."

Lu Xiangyi was so obedient that she slipped into the restaurant with two sets of bowls and chopsticks.

Zhou Sen looked at her back, the smile on his lips expanded infinitely.

In the past, grandma told him to do these things.

Grandma took good care of him.

Perhaps, he can also take good care of the girl in front of him.

The steaming oven made the sound of finishing work, Zhou Sen took out the fish and poured seasoning on it.

Wearing an apron, he did all this naturally and skillfully, with the air of a good family man.

Very handsome again!

It's hard not to be moved by him.

Lu Xiangyi can only remind himself all the time, to be restrained, not to fall so quickly...

It should be a good feeling to be pursued by Zhou Sen!

It was exactly half past six when Zhou Sen brought the fish to the restaurant.

It was already dark, and the lights in the room hadn't been turned on yet. The restaurant was dim and dark, with the heat and aroma of food wafting.

Much like a home.

Very homely.

Zhou Sen's eyes fell on Lu Xiangyi's face through the evening light, and Lu Xiangyi also looked at him across the dining table.

Looking at each other this time, neither of them was nervous or shy.

They seem to feel that this is what many people say and pursue, the kind of plain and warm life.

They should be quiet and feel good.

"Shall we start eating now?" Zhou Sen said.

Lu Xiangyi sat down and served Zhou Sen a bowl of soup, "Thank you for your hard work."

Zhou Sen also imitated Lu Xiangyi's polite manner, "You also put in a lot of effort."

Lu Xiangyi gave a dry laugh.

Half of her effort was taught by Zhou Sen!

Thinking of Zhou Sen standing behind her and teaching her how to chop vegetables just now, Lu Xiangyi felt that the current atmosphere was quite ambiguous, so she could only hint that she should not think about it, picked up the spoon and started to drink the soup.

Zhou Sen observed very carefully, and found that Lu Xiangyi didn't put his chopsticks on the steamed fish very much, so he asked her if she didn't like fish.

"No, I really like fish, but I'm afraid of fishbone!" Lu Xiangyi didn't want to say that she had a few times when a fishbone got stuck in her throat and almost frightened the whole family.

"Don't worry, this kind of fish has few bones." Zhou Sen said again, "This is one of my specialties."

Lu Xiangyi put down his chopsticks in seconds, "Then I have to try it!"

Zhou Sen is not boasting, the fish he steamed tastes very good, without any fishy smell, only full of seafood aroma, and the fish meat is very delicate and delicious, every bite is a kind of enjoyment.

Lu Xiangyi ate several mouthfuls before asking: "Did grandma teach you this?"

Zhou Sen nodded and said, "This is the first dish her old man taught me, and it's also my favorite dish now."

Is he using this method to miss his deceased relatives?

Lu Xiangyi ate a few more mouthfuls, "Delicious!"

But after a while, her expression suddenly changed, and all her movements came to a standstill.

Zhou Sen thought she had asthma again, "What's wrong with you?"

Lu Xiangyi covered his throat with one hand, unable to speak.

"I'll get you medicine!" Zhou Sen stood up, frowning deeply, with a look of anxiety, "Tell me your home password."

Lu Xiangyi pulled Zhou Sen back, and his pronunciation was a little unnatural, "It's not asthma, I was caught by a fishbone..."
