"Mr. Peter, put me down! Can't we talk nicely? Why are you pulling me? " Gu Nianzhi blushed when she saw Lu Yuan looking at her with a smile. She tried to push Huo Shaoheng away in a flurry.
Huo Shaoheng's arms wrapped around her tightly.
The more she struggled, the deeper she sank into his arms.
In the end, her entire body was held tightly in his arms. Her face was pressed against his strong chest. Listening to his vigorous heartbeat, her own heart almost resonated with it …
In a daze, she was carried back to the living room by Huo Shaoheng.
Huo Shaoheng looked down and saw a pair of red boots on the edge of the living room carpet. His eyes moved slightly, and he smiled. "Miss Gu, why did you take off your shoes here?"
Gu Nianzhi saw that she couldn't break free, so she stopped struggling. She crossed her feet and said, "I like to be barefoot. Who wears boots at home? Aren't you stupid? "
Her feet were very beautiful. They were small and exquisite, and the shape of her ankles was beautiful. They were tender and well-maintained.
Huo Shaoheng quickly looked away from Gu Nianzhi's feet.
Seeing this, Gu Nianzhi wrinkled her delicate and straight nose in disdain. Her long, slender legs continued to sway in front of Huo Shaoheng's eyes.
Huo Shaoheng had no choice but to look away from Gu Nianzhi's white legs with difficulty again.
Without looking sideways, he carried Gu Nianzhi to the living room and placed her on the corner sofa with a modern avant-garde design.
Huo Shaoheng didn't get up immediately. Instead, he rested both hands on the low leather backrest of the sofa in the corner and circled Gu Nianzhi in the crook of his arm. He stared into her dark, misty eyes and said with a half-smile, "Miss Gu didn't wear boots at home? Why did those boots come from the bedroom to the living room? Did they walk over by themselves? "
"How do you know they're in the bedroom? They're clearly in the living room … "Gu Nianzhi smiled slyly.
"Really? But these boots match the miniskirt you're wearing. "
"In other words, they're accessories from the New Year's suit your father prepared for you. Then they must have been placed in the bedroom with your dress."
"If you didn't wear them, did the boots become spirits and run out by themselves?"
Gu Nianzhi was speechless. Was it great that he could reason?
Who needed him to reason with me at a time like this?
What a straight man …
Gu Nianzhi saw that she couldn't bluff her way out of it. Her eyes blinked rapidly, and her long, fan-like eyelashes fluttered. Her eyes reflected the bright lights in the living room, and she chuckled. "You called me Nianzhi when you texted me just now, but now you're calling me Miss Gu …"
Huo Shaoheng's heart raced, but he quickly calmed down. He lowered his body even more. Their faces were very close. It was as if they would be if he moved a centimeter closer.
Both of them could feel each other trying their best to control their breathing. It was a little hot, but because of their restraint, it wasn't that obvious. Their faintly discernible breaths were even more alluring.
In the past, Gu Nianzhi wouldn't have hesitated to dodge in times like this. She wouldn't have had such intimate physical contact with someone she wasn't familiar with.
But this time, she just lazily lay on the sofa with her arms crossed in front of her chest. The sofa's back was low, and she seemed to be even more slender.
Huo Shaoheng looked at her quietly. Their eyes met, and they both wanted to see into each other's hearts.
However, both of their eyes were equally dark, like the finest black velvet. It was so dark that it seemed as if light was about to shine from within.
The two of them stared at each other for an unknown amount of time until Lu Jin's explosive shout interrupted their silence.
"Peter, what are you doing?! Release my daughter! "
Lu Jin shouted and threw the folder in his hand at her.
It was as if Huo Shaoheng had eyes on the back of his head. When he heard the sound of the folder flying over, he reached behind him and caught it firmly. He quickly got up and turned around. He smiled at Lu Jin and said, "Uncle Lu, please don't take offense. Miss Gu … Nianzhi ran into the kitchen to ask for food without wearing shoes. I was afraid that she would catch a cold from stepping on the wooden floor, so I carried her over."
Lu Jin's gaze finally fell on Gu Nianzhi's bare feet.
"Nianzhi, didn't I prepare boots for you? It even matched your dress. Why didn't you wear it in the bedroom? Didn't you see it? "Lu Jin asked in confusion.
It was exactly as Huo Shaoheng had deduced earlier.
Gu Nianzhi almost flew into a rage out of humiliation.
She sat up from the sofa and said with a red face, "Dad, didn't I say I was hungry? Where did you go? Where's the food I asked you to prepare? I'm so hungry that I'm about to have hypoglycemia … "
She gently rubbed her forehead, which was covered in sweat.
"Huh?! I forgot, I forgot! I forgot everything when I saw Peter like this just now! " Lu Jin glared at Huo Shaoheng and said, "I'll go take a look in the kitchen. Nianzhi, if you have hypoglycemia, don't move. Sit down properly. Dad will get you something to eat."
Lu Jin quickly walked to the kitchen.
Huo Shaoheng put his hands in his trouser pockets and looked down at Gu Nianzhi. He teased, "Hypoglycemia? Nianzhi, why didn't I know you had hypoglycemia? "
Gu Nianzhi looked at him with a smile and hugged her little panda pillow. She tilted her head and said, "Are you very familiar with me? How did you know if I had hypoglycemia? "
"Of course we're familiar. We've known each other … for almost two months, right?" Huo Shaoheng bowed slightly and successfully saw Gu Nianzhi's eyes darken.
He narrowed his eyes and straightened up. Seeing that Lu Jin was already walking over with a large tray, he quickly walked over and said, "Uncle Lu, can I help you?"
Lu Jin glared at him. "Go help in the kitchen. Boss Lu can't do it alone."
He actually didn't want to see Peter and Gu Nianzhi alone. The scene was very harmonious and pleasing to the eye, but Lu Jin still felt like his heart was being stabbed by a knife.
Huo Shaoheng turned to look at Gu Nianzhi. He saw that she was sitting on the sofa and didn't turn to look at him.
Huo Shaoheng breathed a sigh of relief and walked towards the kitchen again.
Lu Jin walked to Gu Nianzhi with a carved mahogany tray. He bent down and placed the tray on the coffee table in front of the sofa.
"Boss Lu made it with great care." Lu Jin pointed at the dish on the tray and introduced it proudly. "I said that you've been too nervous these past few days and might be a little weak, so Boss Lu made this first-grade sea cucumber."
He lifted the lid of the bowl, revealing a steamed crow ginseng in the steaming bowl underneath.
"This method is very complicated. First, you have to burn the rough skin of the crow ginseng, then break it open and wash it. Then, you have to boil it twice in boiling water."
"Then, you have to stir-fry the pork, which has been cut into pieces, with diced Southeast winter bamboo shoots, Jinhua ham, Northeast mushrooms, and scallops into stuffing. Then, you have to fill it in the broken crow ginseng, tie it tightly with tofu skin, and steam it in the steamer."
As Lu Jin spoke, he poked the crow ginseng with his chopsticks.
A hole appeared with one poke, and it felt like it was melting in the mouth.
"Look, isn't it steamed well?" Lu Jin said proudly, as if he had made the dish.
Gu Nianzhi listened with a smile and couldn't help swallowing. She picked up her chopsticks and poked it.
It was indeed soft. She didn't know how it tasted.
She gently bit the tip of the ginseng.
It was different from the slightly crispy sea cucumber she had eaten in the past.
This "first-class sea cucumber" was completely steamed, but it had greatly preserved the original taste of the ingredients.
She took a bite of the sea cucumber. There was also pork, winter bamboo shoots, ham, mushrooms, and scallops stuffing inside.
Each of these stuffing was very flavorful and fresh, but together, they all served as a foil to the sea cucumber.
The original fishy and astringent taste of the wild sea cucumber was perfectly neutralized, leaving only a soft and fresh taste.
Lu Yuan didn't add any stock to the dish. He only added a little salt. The taste of the stuffing itself seeped into the crow ginseng.
When she ate, it was just like how Hong Qigong had tasted "Who Listens to the Falling Plum Blossoms on the Jade Flute". She tasted 25 different flavors from five different kinds of meat.
Every time she chewed, it was a different taste, but it was also a feast for her taste buds.
Moreover, the sea cucumber had the unique sweetness of seafood.
Therefore, when she ate this "first-class black ginseng", the taste was even more varied than Huang Rong's "Who Listens to the Falling Plum Blossoms on the Jade Flute".
Gu Nianzhi accidentally ate the entire first-grade crow ginseng.
Seeing that she was eating so happily, Lu Jin smiled and said, "Do you want more? Boss Lu has done a lot. "
Gu Nianzhi smiled and shook her head. "This is already too much. I think I can eat this bowl until night."
"Okay, then we'll eat it for New Year's Eve dinner tonight." Lu Jin brought the tray back to the kitchen.
Since Lu Jin and Gu Nianzhi had both come out, Lu Yuan and Huo Shaoheng didn't talk about any confidential topics.
The two of them quietly cooked in the kitchen. Huo Shaoheng was only in charge of cutting and washing the vegetables, while Lu Yuan cooked the dishes.
Lu Jin placed the tray on the counter and praised Lu Yuan with a smile before returning to the living room to talk to Gu Nianzhi.
Gu Nianzhi asked curiously, "Dad, where did you go just now? I didn't see you when I came out. "
"I went back to my studio and stored the things you brought back in the fridge," Lu Jin said casually. He took out a physics book to divert Gu Nianzhi's attention. "Nianzhi, do you want to learn a little quantum mechanics?"
Gu Nianzhi: "_"
She couldn't bear to be a disappointment, so she nodded. "Dad, please tell me about it. But let me make it clear first, I'm terrible at physics. If I can't learn it, don't scold me."
"How is that possible? How could my daughter, Lu Jin, not be able to learn quantum mechanics?! "
Lu Jin explained it to Gu Nianzhi in high spirits.
Gu Nianzhi opened her eyes and listened for a while. Perhaps the whole crow ginseng was starting to take effect, or perhaps she was tired.
In short, as she listened, her eyelids kept fighting.
She tried her best to stay awake, but in the end, she was still no match for the fierceness of the sleep demon. She closed her eyes and fell asleep.
Lu Yuan happened to come to the living room to answer the phone. When he saw this scene, he teased, "… Are you disappointed? Your daughter can't inherit your mantle. "
"How could that be!" Lu Jin was elated. "On the contrary, I've never thought quantum mechanics was so useful!"
Lu Yuan: "… How is it useful?"
He looked at Gu Nianzhi sleeping soundly on the sofa and the corners of his mouth twitched.
"How is it useless? It can coax my girl to sleep! "Lu Jin said righteously as he carefully covered Gu Nianzhi with a blanket.
