From washing the rice, to chopping the vegetables, to squeezing the soybean milk, to laying out the pancakes … Every single action of his was executed smoothly and skillfully.
She didn't know why, but memories of his past kept flashing through her mind.
She recalled that when he first joined the company, they rented a villa in the suburbs of the capital for a team building event, and the rule was that everyone had to cook their signature dish. She was the only one who knew how to cook instant noodles. In any case, she was the one who paid the salaries, so she had the final say. Her signature dish was instant noodles, and he … said that his signature dish was instant noodles as well. However, a second after he said those words, she shot him a fierce glare, and he immediately cowered and changed his words, saying that his signature dish was pickled pepper chicken feet … But not only did he fail to cook the pickled pepper chicken feet, he ended up cutting a huge gash on his hand instead.
In any case, as someone who had never cooked before, she even mocked him mercilessly when she saw him fumbling around in the kitchen.
But now … after seven years, he seemed to have become a completely different person. Not only was he able to cook breakfast, he was even able to cook a sumptuous and exquisite meal …
Seven years … Was it because of her that he had become who he was today over the past seven years?
"Boss Lin?"
Noticing that Lin Jiayi was staring at him intently, Xia Shangzhou couldn't help but feel a little nervous.
Recovering from her daze, Lin Jiayi replied with a very natural "Oh" before pointing to the dining room behind her. "I was thirsty, so I came out to drink some water. I heard some commotion in the kitchen, so I came over to take a look …"
"I see. It just so happens that I just made some water and left it to dry in the kettle. The temperature should be just right now. I'll go pour you a cup …" Xia Shangzhou said as he walked over to the kitchen counter.
But before he could reach Lin Jiayi, Lin Jiayi had already said, "I'll go by myself."
After saying those words, Lin Jiayi rushed ahead of him and walked over to the counter.
She poured two cups of water and passed one of them to Xia Shangzhou. "You didn't sleep the entire night?"
This was the first time she had poured water for him … Xia Shangzhou felt like he was dreaming. He stared at the glass of water held by her fair fingers for a while before taking it from her with trembling fingers. "No, I fell asleep. I took a nap on the sofa for a while …"
Lin Jiayi knew that he was lying, but she didn't expose him. Instead, she craned her neck to peer into the kitchen and asked, "What did you make for breakfast? I'm starting to feel a little hungry …"
"Oh, I'll get it for you now …" Xia Shangzhou said as he put down the glass and went into the kitchen.
Soon, a sumptuous breakfast was placed on the dining table.
Lin Jiayi picked up two sets of bowls and chopsticks, and after scooping the first bowl of porridge, she placed it on the opposite side of her seat. While scooping the second bowl of porridge, she glanced at Xia Shangzhou and said, "I won't be able to finish all of this by myself. It just so happens that you haven't had breakfast yet, so why don't we eat together?"
As she spoke, Lin Jiayi put down her bowl of porridge and stirred it with a spoon. As if she was craving for it, she stuffed a mouthful of porridge into her mouth. Then, when she saw that Xia Shangzhou hadn't taken a seat yet, she urged him, "Navigator, what are you standing there for? Hurry up and take a seat …"
Xia Shangzhou replied with an "Oh" before finally taking a seat.
Lin Jiayi passed a pancake to Xia Shangzhou before asking, "I heard from the ATM that you're starting your own business?"
Xia Shangzhou nodded. "Mm."
