The celebration Mo Yichen said was that they went to buy food in the supermarket and cook them home.
Gu Yan grumbled and was unhappy about the celebration.
“Well, don’t be angry. How about that you watch TV and I cook the meal? All you need to do is to eat. Is that OK, my sweet?” Mo Yichen knew she wasn’t really angry, but he was still willing to coax her.
“Hum, I got the champion, first place!!! Are you paying lip service? If Xiangyan wins the championship, will you just cook him a meal?” Gu Yan said angrily.
“So, what would you like? If you like the star, I will also get it for you, and I won’t pick the moon.” What Mo Yichen said became more ridiculous, as if he was coaxing a three-year-old child.
But it worked on Gu Yan. Hearing what Mo Yichen said, she immediately became happy, “I will show you my cooking skill, the cooking skill of the champion.” She was complacent and completely different from being low-key in Auslet. Now She didn’t restrain anything but very cocky.
“Okay, you are the chef. Let me help you to wash vegetables and set the plates. OK?”
“Sounds great.”
Mo Yichen turned the car into the neighborhood. After getting off the car, he didn’t let Gu Yan take the food and just asked Gu Yan to go upstairs and open the door.
Gu Yan couldn’t change his mind, so she trotted upstairs. Seeing she was running, Mo Yichen followed her closely without any stop.
A smile touched Mo Yichen’s mouth. He went upstairs step by step, but his sight that followed Gu Yan had already gone upstairs.
Leaving the door open, Gu Yan changed her shoes and lay down on the sofa. Seeing Mo Yichen back, she ran over and took the food, so that Mo Yichen could change his shoes.
After putting the food in the kitchen, Gu Yan returned to the sofa. Mo Yichen couldn’t help but feel funny because she wore a tidy work suit, but lay down crookedly on the sofa. He understood that she was really nervous and tired these days. So, he didn’t tease her and went to the kitchen.
Gu Yan just wanted to have a rest and get herself back on her feet, but she fell asleep and had slept for two hours.
Gu Yan felt guilty because she went sleeping instead of cooking. She didn’t mean it, but she had no idea whether Mo Yichen would think she was lazy.
A tantalizing aroma of food filled the room. Gu Yan quietly walked behind Mo Yichen and held his broad back in her arms.
“Ha, you are awake?” Mo Yichen knew that she came. Although she was quiet, he was very perceptive. He kept silence and wanted to see what she was going to do.
He didn’t foresee that she just tenderly embraced him. The temperature between them was transmitted through his back and chest, and the atmosphere was not ambiguous, but warm.
“Chef Mo, your cooking skill is getting better and better. Um, it’s really nice.” Gu Yan saw the dishes in the pot that he was cooking. It smelt delicious.
Gu Yan never begrudged praising Mo Yichen. If a woman wanted to capture a man’s heart, she must capture his stomach first. But their roles were reversed. Thinking of it, Gu Yan felt a little funny, but more grateful.
She was grateful to him for his inclusiveness, support, and meticulous care.
“You’re lazy. You said you would be the chef and let me help you. Now the meal is ready, and you wake up. Do you plan to wash your hands and have dinner from the beginning?”
Mo Yichen knew that she was so exhausted that she fell asleep. But he kept teasing her and became more delightful.
“Since you have done the job of the chef, let me help you lest you say that I can only eat.” Gu Yan said when she started doing something. Mo Yichen’s cooking skill was not adept enough. If she had done cooking, she would have prepared all the food advance and not been in a flurry.
Gu Yan cut food skillfully as she was talking to Mo Yichen, “I plan to work in Auslet tomorrow. Although Wang Sha tells me I can go there when I am ready, I still want to go early. After all, the earlier I go, the sooner I can come back. And I worry about the stuff in my studio. What do you think?”
Gu Yan asked for Mo Yichen’s advice. Because she was going to study for a month, which was not a trivial matter for the family. Although Mo Yichen always gave her unconditional support in her work, she wanted to ask him before making a decision.
“Well, just go. I will look after our family.” Of course, he was on her side. He wanted to find appropriate time to tell her everything with Xiangyan, but he had no good chance. Now it seemed that Gu Yan would be very busy in the following days. This matter must be considered at length…
“Don’t be in a trance. The food is getting burnt. Keep stirring!” Mo Yichen was concentrating on thinking, so he forgot he was cooking. Seeing the smoke and the burnt food, he knew something wrong with the dish. But he had no experience and didn’t know what to do. It seemed that the dish was inedible.
Mo Yichen was very guilty. After all, Gu Yan didn’t know what he was thinking. He walked away and watched Gu Yan take the dish away and clean the stove. After that, she poured oil into the pot. When the oil boiled, she put the food in. The steaming mist and the splashing oil were telling the story of this cozy family.
Mo Yichen quietly watched her doing these things. Gu Yan was absorbed in cooking. Her hair was simply tied up, and looked very casual. The suit she wore during the day wasn’t changed. Mo Yichen stared at her who was a master even in the kitchen.
Gu Yan was very accomplished in cooking. Soon, she prepared all the dishes that Mo Yichen wasn’t good at. The dishes looked, smelt, and tasted best. Mo Yichen helped her put the dishes on the table. They were seated and had a small talk like ordinary people. It seemed that people should talk about trivial things when they were eating.
Although Gu Yan was going to Auslet for study, she couldn’t completely let go of the studio’s affairs. She had no idea how to solve this matter, so she told Mo Yichen.
