C67 (1/2)
Heat up the pot, cold oil, and shredded meat. After stirring, he took them out and poured the leftover oil into the potato chips. He was skilled at every step and every action.
Xia Mu stood slightly behind him, watching as the man brandished the spatula without the slightest bit of awkwardness.
”You can cook?” Xia Mu curiously asked.
Mu Dong sprinkled some salt into the pot before turning around. ”That's simple.”
As he said that, the fragrant and steaming hot chips and shredded potatoes were cooked. When they came out of the pot, Mu Dongdong's eyes looked around the table. He picked up a small bottle and poured some seasonings into the pot.
Xia Mu looked at Mu Dong's final move, his large eyes filled with doubt.
Mu Dongfang, who was carrying the dishes, turned around and saw Xia Mu's expression.
”Why are you looking at me like that?” Mu Dongfang asked with a smile.
”Why, why ketchup?”
”It will taste good this way.” Mu Dongdong picked up a potato chip and placed it next to Xia Mu's mouth, ”Taste it.”
The entrance was wonderful.
Xia Mu had to admit that this man's culinary skills were excellent. Even his habit of adding ketchup at the end was exactly the same as his.
However, this habit of Xia Mu's was because the two children liked to eat, but why would Mu Dongdong do the same?
”What are you thinking about?” Mu Dongfang asked with a smile.
Xia Mu regained his senses and said, ”Oh, it's fine.” She avoided his eyes and reached for his plate.
Mu Dong grabbed her hand and asked with a smile, ”Is it delicious?”
Xia Mu wanted to break away, but when the man tried his best, she couldn't help but say, ”It's delicious.”
”Really?”
”It's true!” Seeing Mu Dong's face, Xia Mu's face started to turn red again.
”Then, do you like it?” The man didn't want to let Xia Mu off so easily, so he questioned him again and again.
”I like it.” Xia Mu was thinking, ”Can you stop asking, what exactly does this mean?!”
Mu Dongfang looked deeply at her before lowering his head. ”If you like it, then I'll make it for you every day, okay?”
Mu looked eastward into Xia Mu's eyes.
He was holding Xia Mu's wrist, and it was impossible for her to open her eyes. Her eyes were very deep and bright, and as if she was bewitched, she replied, ”Okay.”
”Good child.” The man lowered his head. His eyes were filled with a smile, and the corner of his lips was smeared with the scent of a girl.
The collision just now was so fast that Xia Mu was unable to react. When she regained her senses, the culprit had already left with the plate. She was the only one left in the kitchen, not knowing how to react.
She raised her head and slowly covered her lips. She felt a burst of regret in her heart. How could he act like this? How could he do something so frivolous over and over again?
Yet, he still continued to indulge himself in it.
Xia Mu, ah, Xia Mu, what are you thinking about!
Ye Zichen scratched his head in annoyance. He wanted to clear his mind, but he couldn't find any reason to do so.
It was not until the voices of the children came from the house that Summer stood in the kitchen, listening to their conversation.
”Uncle, it's really delicious. It's even more delicious than mother's cooking.” This was Nannan's voice.
”If it's delicious, uncle will make it for you guys to eat every day, okay?”
”Really?” The baby asked in surprise.
”Of course, Mom has already agreed!”
”Yeah, that's great!” Nannan cheered.
Even without looking, Xia Mu could already imagine the admiration and satisfaction Nannan and the baby had towards Mu Dong, but Xia Mu felt a sense of danger as she thought that after this battle, she must put some distance between herself and this man. Even if the children really liked him, she did not want to have any other contact with him.
What he wanted, she couldn't afford!
The Right to Happiness
In the room, Nannan and the baby were eating happily as they lifted their heads to see Xia Mu appear at the door. The little girl waved towards Xia Mu and happily shouted, ”Mom, hurry up, uncle's stir-fried vegetables are really delicious!”
Xia Mu looked at the two greedy kids, walked over and sat down, then said with a smile, ”Eat slowly, no one will fight with you.”
”Mom, try it.” The baby took the chopsticks and gave Xia Mu some food.
Xia Mu lowered his head and ate. He then heard his son ask, ”Is it delicious?”
Xia Mu smiled at his son and said, ”Delicious.”
Hearing this, a pair of chopsticks was brought over. Mu Dongfang picked up some food and brought it over. He looked at Xia Mu and smiled, ”It's been hard on you.”
Looking at the dishes in the bowl, Xia Mu lowered his head and silently ate them.
The yard was not big to begin with, and even the doors were open. Naturally, Zhang Xiulan heard everything that happened over at Xia Mu's side.
She withdrew her gaze from the door and said with a straight face, ”Listen, listen, a young woman, how can she casually lead a wild man into her own room? To think that I was thinking that they were just a pitiful mother and son, and wanted Mighty to take care of them! ”In my opinion, they're all a bunch of ungrateful bastards! Not a single one of them is good!” After he finished speaking, he spat towards the east room as if he didn't want to vent his hatred.
