"Do you want me to help you?" Lan Jue asked, poking his head in.
"No need. You'll only make things worse." Zhou Qianlin waved him off. Then she opened all the cupboards.
She took out some kitchen utensils.
She brushed the utensils that hadn't been used for who knew how long. Then she took out a metal bowl and poured some flour into it.
She added the right amount of water and began to knead the dough.
"What are you doing?" Lan Jue poked his head in again. He was curious.
In the past, although he had been with Hera for a long time, that was when he had just entered the mercenary world and was often carrying out different missions. At that time, he didn't have any requirements for food at all. As long as there was food and nutrition, it was enough.
He'd fallen in love with good food and wine after he'd come to Skyfire Avenue. Over the last three years, he'd spent most of his time on these things. It was only by indulging in them that he could temporarily forget his sorrow.
So as he watched Qianlin bustle about in the kitchen, he couldn't help but feel a strange feeling in his heart. It was a strange feeling.
As far as he could remember, he and Hera had never cooked before.
They'd only eaten casually.
Zhou Qianlin didn't even turn her head. "Get out.
The kitchen isn't a place for men like you to come in.
Since you live alone, this place is just a decoration. "As he said that, he stretched out his long legs and closed the kitchen door.
Lan Jue walked back into the living room and sat down on the sofa. He couldn't help but stare blankly.
He was suddenly filled with anticipation. It wasn't any less than when he'd waited for the Gourmet to bring him food.
He was filled with anticipation.
There was a strange feeling.
It had been a long, long time since he'd felt this way.
If only she were Hera.
That would be perfect.
Lan Jue's heart was suddenly filled with a strong desire.
Ten minutes later.
There was a sudden hiss from the kitchen.
Lan Jue subconsciously flashed to the kitchen door and pulled it open.
A strong aroma wafted over. It was the sound of raw onions bursting in the boiling peanut oil.
Zhou Qianlin, who was wearing an apron, was putting the chopped scallions into the oil pan.
After stir-frying a few times with the spatula, he picked up the sliced and peeled tomatoes and put them into the wok.
The sound was even louder than before, and the steam overflowed from the pot and was sucked away by the range hood.
The aroma of tomatoes mixed with the fragrance of onions filled the air.
Lan Jue sniffled.
He couldn't help but exclaim, "How fragrant!"
Zhou Qianlin didn't drive him away this time. She stir-fried the tomatoes in the wok with a spatula. After a while, she added a handful of green onions.
He stir-fried it again.
"Do I need to add so many spring onions?" Lan Jue asked curiously.
Zhou Qianlin nodded. "It won't taste good without the green onions.
I need a little more. "
After stir-frying a few more times, she took out an iron pot with half a pot of water, put it on the fire hole next to her, and turned on the fire to heat it up.
Lan Jue finally had some knowledge about food. Seeing this, she suddenly understood something.
Then she looked at the neatly arranged noodles on the chopping board next to her.
"Hand-rolled noodles!
I didn't expect you to know how to roll noodles. "
Zhou Qianlin rolled her eyes at him.
"There are many things you didn't expect."
After stir-frying the tomatoes into tomato paste, she added water, boiled it, thickened it, and added salt.
Then she turned down the fire and put the beaten eggs into the pot.
She turned off the fire and sprinkled the chopped coriander into the pot.
A pot of red, yellow, and green tomato and egg marinade was ready with a strong aroma.
Zhou Qianlin added a little sesame oil and sighed. "It's a pity there are no fresh prawns. Otherwise, it would be better."
The pot on the other side was already boiling. She put the noodles in. When the water boiled again, she added a little water and brought it to a boil. After the water boiled three times, she turned off the fire.
One big bowl, one small bowl, two bowls of noodles, and tomato and egg marinade.
Just like that, a simple dinner was settled.
All of Zhou Qianlin's movements were as smooth as flowing water. They didn't look fast, but there was no redundancy at all.
When 20,000 noodles were served on the table, everything in the kitchen was also cleaned up by her.
She handed the chopsticks to Lan Jue. Zhou Qianlin found that he was still looking at her with a dull look. "What are you looking at?
Eat. "
"Oh."
Lan Jue answered and looked down at her big bowl of noodles. She suddenly swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and then immediately began to eat.
The strength of the hand-rolled noodles was not comparable to any machine-pressed noodles. Coupled with the rich taste of tomato and egg marinade, the bowl in front of Lan Jue was already empty after Zhou Qianlin ate a few noodles. There was not even a little soup left.
"Eat slowly. Although the noodles are easy to digest, it is easy to choke if you eat too fast." Zhou Qianlin frowned.
Lan Jue picked up a napkin and wiped his mouth. "It's so delicious. I didn't expect you to be so good at cooking.
If you were in our Skyfire Avenue, I think you could compete with the gourmet for a job. "
Zhou Qianlin put her bowl in front of Lan Jue's big bowl and gave him half a bowl of noodles. "I see you are not full. Eat some more.
If it is not enough, there is no more tomato and egg. "
Looking at the extra noodles in his bowl, Lan Jue was stunned, and then looked up at Zhou Qianlin.
Zhou Qianlin was already eating the noodles with her head down.
Lan Jue didn't waste any time with pleasantries. He ate the noodles again, but at a much slower pace than before.
He didn't finish eating until Zhou Qianlin finished eating.
Zhou Qianlin stood up, cleaned up the dishes, and went to the kitchen to wash the dishes.
Lan Jue sat at the table but didn't move. His eyes flashed slightly.
After a while, Zhou Qianlin came out of the kitchen. "Let's go. Take me home."
"Okay!" Lan Jue agreed and stood up.
Walking out of the room, the Zeus Jewelry Shop was still open. Xiu Xiu and Kerr were there. Seeing the two come out, Xiu Xiu came forward and said, "Boss, are you going out with Miss Zhou?"
Lan Jue nodded. "I will take her home. I will be back soon."
"Be careful on the road," Xiu Xiu said with a smile.
Ding Ling Ling. Lan Jue and Zhou Qianlin went out. Xiu Xiu's expression suddenly changed slightly, and his eyes were a little dazed.
Kerr said in a low voice, "Sister Xiu Xiu, there should be nothing going on between the boss and Miss Zhou."
Xiu Xiu's expression instantly returned to normal. He shook his head and said, "I'm fine. Even if there is something going on between them, it's not something we should care about!
Let's go. We should get off work. "
Lan Jue rode the bicycle all the way to the foot of Tianshan Mountain and watched as Zhou Qianlin left.
On the way, the two didn't say anything and maintained a tacit understanding.
But today's silence wasn't suppressed. It was as if there was only that strange existence.
…
National Eastern University.
Today was the day of the Poseidon Disaster Relief Concert. Early in the morning, when the students arrived at the campus, they were surprised to find that the entire National Eastern University had turned into a sea of blue.
Thousands of blue forget-me-nots filled every corner of the campus. Other than the roads that had to be left open, these forget-me-nots were placed all over the campus.
The faint fragrance of the flowers and the blue view made people's emotions surge.
Early in the morning, the largest media from the Northern Alliance, Western Alliance, and Eastern Alliance had gathered at the entrance of the National Eastern University. The vehicles of these media had already paralyzed the nearby traffic.
The Eastern Alliance had no choice but to send special police to maintain order.
In front of the campus, the security team formed by the National Eastern University and Neptune Entertainment Media stood in a row, blocking all the media from entering.
The concert would only start at two in the afternoon. Before one in the afternoon, no media was allowed to enter the campus.
Some media even disguised themselves as students and tried to sneak in, but they were all seen through by the sharp-eyed security personnel.
Other than the excited atmosphere, the National Eastern University was shrouded in a layer of mystery.
The media only knew that today's concert would be held in the auditorium of the National Eastern University. As for the format and what kind of performance it would be, they had no idea. Neptune Entertainment Media was really good at keeping secrets.
"Looking at the situation, it's really lively today." Lan Jue stopped her bicycle at the corner, and Zhou Qianlin came down from the back seat.
Strangely enough, after warning Li Cha that day, Li Cha really hadn't appeared again in the past two days.
Zhou Qianlin said, "Yeah!
This is the first time I've seen such a lively scene since I came to the campus.
That Neptune is really a big shot.
But this time, they're performing for disaster relief. Although it's a bit of a publicity stunt, it's still a good thing. "
Lan Jue smiled. "Looks like you're not crazy about Neptune!"
Zhou Qianlin shook her head. "I've never had an idol."
Lan Jue gave her a thumbs up. "Good taste."
Zhou Qianlin said, "What does this have to do with taste?
I'm going to school first. "After saying that, she carried her bag and walked towards the campus.
Lan Jue was about a hundred meters behind her, and she was also pushing her bicycle towards the campus.
Before Zhou Qianlin reached the entrance of the campus, she was blocked by a group of reporters. They surrounded her and bombarded her with all kinds of questions.
Lan Jue helplessly slapped her forehead. Being too beautiful was indeed troublesome. No matter when, she would be the first target.
It seemed that it was necessary to advise Miss Zhou to wear a mask when she went out in the future.
As he thought about it, he had already pushed his bicycle and rushed over. He released a weak energy, and with the bicycle as a weapon, he forcefully cut into the inner circle.
"Dear reporters, please don't harass the students of our campus.
Otherwise, I will ask the school to refuse you from entering the campus when the concert officially starts in the afternoon. "
Lan Jue said righteously. His voice also contained some energy, and it slightly shocked the reporters.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Lan Jue pushed his bicycle and quickly rushed out of the crowd with Zhou Qianlin.
They entered the campus.
Fourth update!
