Lu Jin looked at Gu Nianzhi's charming smile and her sparkling eyes, which were as clear as the icy spring of a snowy mountain. Deep affection and reluctance rose from the bottom of his heart.
The proudest thing in his life was not winning two Nobel Prizes, nor was it discovering parallel space, nor was it the perfect optimization of human genes. It was having such a cute and intelligent daughter.
He was content.
Lu Jin immediately smiled contentedly. He nodded. "Okay, I'll test your DNA."
Gu Nianzhi breathed a sigh of relief. She smiled and walked around to the back of Lu Jin's chair. She clenched her little fists and thumped his back. She said fawningly, "Thank you, Dad! Now I'm going to think about how to get their hair or blood samples. Saliva samples are fine too, right? But saliva is too disgusting. It's better to use blood to test it. "
Lu Jin didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He turned around and tapped her a few times in the air. "Whatever, just hair will do. Blood is also quite disgusting. Besides, if I test your DNA, are you afraid that it won't be accurate? Even if I only use one of their cells, I can accurately measure it. "
"Got it, got it! Dad is the best! " Gu Nianzhi was so happy that she didn't know what to do. She subconsciously hugged Lu Jin's neck from behind and kissed him on the cheek.
After the kiss, even Gu Nianzhi was stunned.
Lu Jin was even more dumbfounded. His face, which was full of wisdom, showed a rare frozen expression.
"… I'll go see if dinner is ready …" Gu Nianzhi was very embarrassed and ran out of the study in a hurry.
After all, they hadn't grown up by Lu Jin's side. Although the nature of a father and daughter could not be erased, this kind of rare intimacy was something they had never experienced before. It was a new experience for both Lu Jin and Gu Nianzhi.
Lu Jin sat motionless in his computer chair as he watched Gu Nianzhi leave in a hurry. Even the expression on his face was like a specimen frozen in time.
There was no sound in the room. Soon, the sound-activated ceiling light gradually went out, and the study, which was hung with black-out and soundproof curtains, was pitch black.
Lu Jin sat in the darkness, allowing the thick night to envelop him.
He thought that he alone should bear those dark, filthy, filthy things that could not see the light of day.
The happiness during this period of time was like stolen. How could he bear to let his daughter, who was as bright as the sun, be invaded by darkness again?
He would never allow anyone to extend the claws of evil to his daughter again.
Let him end everything.
It was up to him to end all the darkness and give his daughter a bright future.
Lu Jin closed his eyes and let himself become one with the darkness.
…
Gu Nianzhi ran out of the study excitedly and was caught off guard. She fell headfirst into someone's arms.
Gu Nianzhi suddenly calmed down when she smelled that familiar yet strange scent.
She quickly took a step back and looked up to see Huo Shaoheng standing at the door of the study. She couldn't help but stutter, "What are you doing here?"
"As I said, dinner is ready. I'm here to invite you to dinner. What's wrong? What about Uncle Lu? Aren't you going to have dinner? "Huo Shaoheng looked up at the door of the study.
When Gu Nianzhi ran out, the study was still lit.
Now that he turned around, the study was already pitch-black.
"The lights are voice-activated. They automatically go off when there's no sound." Gu Nianzhi said sheepishly, "I'll go to the dining room first. Is dinner ready?"
She ran off at a brisk pace without looking back.
Huo Shaoheng looked at her back, then at the door of the study. He pondered for a while, then knocked on the door. He coughed and said, "Uncle Lu, dinner is ready. Please move to the dining room."
There was no sound from the study for a long time.
Huo Shaoheng was about to push the door open to take a look when the door of the study opened in front of him.
Lu Jin's nose was not a nose, and his eyes were not eyes. He glared at him angrily and said, "What are you doing sneaking around here?! This is my daughter's home. Don't act like this is your home! "
Huo Shaoheng: "…"
Huo Shaoheng looked down and thought for a moment. He said calmly, "… President Lu made your favorite cherry blossom snapper stew."
This trick worked on Lu Jin as well.
His eyes lit up, and he said eagerly, "Is it stewed with soy sauce, shredded ginger, burdock, and abalone mushrooms with plum wine?"
Huo Shaoheng looked troubled. "… I don't know. It was made by President Lu. I was just helping him. I did see the plum wine, but I'm not familiar with anything else."
"Hmph! You don't even know the dishes! Useless! "Lu Jin's face darkened. He raised his head and walked past him. He quickly walked into the dining room.
In the dining room, Lu Yuan washed his hands and was introducing a special dish he had made today to Gu Nianzhi. "This is called plum yellow rain. It's a cherry blossom snapper stewed with soy sauce, shredded ginger, burdock, and abalone mushrooms with plum wine. Have you ever eaten true snapper? This kind of fish is the color of cherry blossoms when it's most delicious. The meat is especially tender and sweet, and it doesn't have any fishy smell at all. There's no need to add cooking wine to ruin its delicious taste. "
Gu Nianzhi listened with relish, and the little bit of awkwardness from before disappeared.
Lu Jin walked in in a hurry and looked at Gu Nianzhi eagerly, but didn't dare to sit next to her.
Gu Nianzhi looked up and saw him. She waved at him with a smile and said, "Dad, sit here!"
Lu Jin breathed a sigh of relief and felt like he had come back to life.
He smiled and walked to Gu Nianzhi's side to sit down. He said to Lu Yuan, who was sitting on the other side of Gu Nianzhi, "Boss Lu, I didn't expect you to be willing to make cherry blossom snapper today."
Lu Yuan smiled faintly and moved his chair back. He said, "I did it to give Nianzhi a taste of something delicious. Eat less today. I only made four cherry blossom snappers."
The four of them had one for each person.
Lu Jin, however, didn't stand on ceremony. "Nianzhi will eat two, and I'll eat one and a half. You and Peter will eat the remaining half. "
Lu Yuan: "…"
Huo Shaoheng took the serving chopsticks and scooped up two cooked cherry blossom snappers for Gu Nianzhi. He placed them in her bowl and said, "I don't eat this kind of fish. You guys eat."
"Hmph! No luck! "Lu Jin rolled his eyes and quickly said to Gu Nianzhi," Nianzhi, let's eat together. Ignore them. "
Gu Nianzhi nodded with a smile. She looked at the pale cherry pink fish in the bowl and used her chopsticks to pry open a small piece of golden meat the size of a soybean grain under the fish's eyes. She put it in her mouth and chewed slowly.
At first, the faint and long taste was like the fog of an autumn morning, slowly soaking her mouth.
She took a careful sip, and it was like the autumn sun suddenly gushing out, dispersing the thin fog. The delicious and sweet taste almost exploded on the tip of her tongue, awakening all her taste buds.
Gu Nianzhi's eyes suddenly widened, and she almost swallowed her tongue.
"It's so delicious!" Gu Nianzhi reluctantly swallowed the best piece of golden meat and gave Lu Yuan a thumbs up. "The taste of the fish itself isn't covered by the stew at all. There's soy sauce, but it doesn't have the saltiness of soy sauce at all. President Lu, your culinary skills are superb! "
"Delicious, right?" Lu Jin was proud of himself, as if he had made this fish. "Here, I'll give you this too!"
Gu Nianzhi quickly shook her head. "No need, no need. This one weighs a catty. It's already good enough that I can finish one."
She looked at the two fish in her bowl and plate, then at the people around the table. She said apologetically, "President Lu, Mr. Peter, I'm sorry. This fish is on my plate, so I can't give it to anyone else to eat, so I gave it to my father to eat. My father won't mind eating what's on my plate, right? "
Lu Jin shook his head and nodded. He smiled so widely that only his teeth could be seen. He even made a V sign at Lu Yuan and Huo Shaoheng proudly.
Lu Yuan: "…"
Huo Shaoheng lowered his head expressionlessly and picked up a piece of eggplant to eat.
..
The entire dinner was spent in the rhythm of Lu Jin and Gu Nianzhi's constant praising of how delicious the cherry blossom snapper was.
In the end, Huo Shaoheng "reluctantly" took the initiative to eat the remaining half of the fish that Gu Nianzhi had eaten under the banner of "not wasting food".
Lu Yuan, on the other hand, didn't eat at all. He said that he was full when he saw Lu Jin's expression and couldn't eat anything else.
After dinner, Gu Nianzhi and Lu Jin were both full. They made Pu 'er tea and moved to the living room to chat and digest their food.
Lu Yuan was about to clean up the kitchen when Huo Shaoheng raised his hand to stop him. "President Lu, I've disturbed the meal today, so I'll be the one to clean up the dishes."
Lu Yuan didn't stand on ceremony with him, but he didn't want to go to the living room to see Lu Jin's smug face. He sat in the kitchen and looked at his phone while chatting with Huo Shaoheng.
"You've never eaten cherry blossom snapper before?" Lu Yuan was actually asking if Huo Shaoheng had eaten cherry blossom snapper in the other world.
Of course Huo Shaoheng had eaten it, but he didn't want to argue with Lu Jin and Gu Nianzhi.
As he put the dishes into the dishwasher, he said, "No, wild ones are too expensive. Farmed ones don't taste good, so I'm not interested."
"Wild ones have already risen to 5,000 to 6,000 yuan per catty. Although it's not that I can't afford it, I can't afford to eat it every day." Lu Yuan smiled and shook his head. "It's also because of the New Year. This is the first time Nianzhi has spent the New Year with us. Lu Jin can't wait to get all the delicious food in the world for Nianzhi to eat."
Gu Nianzhi was chatting with Lu Jin in the living room when she suddenly heard her phone ring. She took it out and saw that it was Luo Piaopiao's call. She immediately picked it up with a smile and asked, "Piaopiao? Are you home? Is your second brother okay? "
Luo Piaopiao was flattered and quickly said, "We're all fine. But … "
She looked at Old Master Qin, who was sitting in front of her, and said with a smile, "Cousin Gu, are you free tomorrow? Tomorrow is the New Year's Eve. I want to invite you to my house for New Year's Eve dinner. "
