I loved you once, the sun and the moon bear witness

After 5 minutes, a beautiful "cake" is ready.

Standing aside, Zhu Renhe looked like he had been petrified. He was stunned by Liu Ying's special craftsmanship, and couldn't help but capitalize the word "serve" in his heart.

Liu Ying used chopsticks to poke small holes one after another in the tofu, then heated it in a pan with oil and seasonings, poured a thick layer on top of the tofu, and then sprinkled a thin circle of bean curd on the side of the tofu. Chopped green onion, put a layer of egg shreds on the chopped green onion, quickly carve a few small flowers with carrots as decoration, and put a few coriander leaves on it, a "cake" that smells delicious and looks unique is out of the oven.

Holding the "cake", Liu Ying raised her eyebrows at Zhu Renhe:
"Shang Rin...he should be back at this point, right?"

Zhu Renhe just came back to her senses, her expression was a little unnatural, but she immediately walked out to have a look, and then Liu Ying heard her exclamation:
"Son, when did you come back?"

"Just now."

Shang Lin replied lightly.

Zhu Renhe quickly pushed Shang Lin from the living room to the dining table, and at this time, Liu Ying had already placed all the meals, and the table was full of beautiful things, which looked very delicate, especially the distinctive "" cake", Shang Lin couldn't help but smile.

He raised his head and looked at Liu Ying:

"You did all of this?"

"Son, I also have a share, and I also helped."

Zhu Renhe hurriedly asked for credit, for fear that her son would not accept her favor.

Liu Ying divided the bowls and chopsticks on the table, sat down and nodded:
"Today is your birthday, and I didn't have time to prepare the cake. I will make you a dinner. It's a birthday present for you. Let's eat it while it's hot."

Shang Lin noticed that Liu Ying's expression was a bit complicated.

This reminded him of his birthday a few years ago, when he came home in the middle of the night and saw that the dishes on the table were cold, and Liu Ying fell asleep lying on the table.

At that time, there was a big cake on the dinner table, and Liu Ying carefully prepared a suit as a gift for him, and that suit was also the one he was wearing today.

He didn't feel moved at the time, but felt that she was too grand and unnecessary.

But now he knows that some people have things that they didn't know how to cherish at the time, and only after losing them do they realize how precious they are.

How dare he ask for extravagant gifts and cakes now, Liu Ying willingly cooks a delicious dinner for him, in his eyes, it is already a luxury.

"These dishes smell delicious and must taste delicious."

He gave an unprecedented admiration, picked up the chopsticks and immediately picked up a piece of girl's chicken and put it in his mouth.

Sure enough... the meat of this girl's chicken slice is not as smooth as usual, and the taste is just right, even the amount of chili is well controlled.

"good to eat."

Shang Rin gave a thumbs up in a face-saving way.

"I'll try it too."

Zhu Renhe, who couldn't remember how long it had been since he had tasted Liu Ying's craftsmanship, couldn't wait.

Hearing Shang Lin's praise, she quickly picked up the chopsticks and tasted all the dishes on the table in one go.

Zhu Renhe, who used to be picky about Liu Ying's cooking was not good enough, finally spoke his mind honestly this time:
"It's okay, better than the ones in the hotel."

Zhu Renhe couldn't stop eating, and the big bowl of rice in front of Shang Lin was almost bottoming out.

The eating habits of the mother and the son are exactly the same, as if "the rain meets the rain after a long drought", the two of them compete for each other, wishing they could wipe out all the dishes on the table.

Liu Ying rested her chin and stared at the mother and child with great interest...

Thinking of how picky they were in the same way back then, and seeing how the two of them are scrambling now, she suddenly felt that human nature is really a bit cheap sometimes.

They didn't take her seriously when she held them up like that before.

Now she doesn't care anymore, they are on top, and finally dare not say those things against her will in front of her.

"There are still ingredients in the refrigerator, not enough for me to fry two more."

Every chef will get a sense of accomplishment when he sees others eat up his own dishes.

At this moment, Liu Ying was in a good mood, and her voice could not help becoming gentle.

Shang Lin had already finished a large bowl of rice at this time, and he aimed at the wine cabinet not far away:
"Such a good dish deserves a good bottle of wine."

Upon hearing this, Zhu Renhe immediately put down his chopsticks and shouted:
"Okay, I'll drive!"

Before Liu Ying could react, Zhu Renhe got up and quickly ran to the wine cabinet, directly took down the Lafite that Shang Lin had treasured for many years, and opened it with red wine.

She took three wine glasses, poured red wine respectively, and then said to Shang Lin:
"Son, mom wishes you a happy birthday."

Shang Lin was slightly taken aback.

This seemed to be the only time in his memory that his mother still remembered his birthday and spent it with him.

Every year when he was a child, his grandparents helped him to celebrate his birthday, but his parents either played outside or went abroad for vacation, they didn't take him seriously at all.

And this is also an important reason why he used to bother celebrating his birthday.

"Thank you."

With complicated eyes, he picked up the wine glass and clinked with his mother, and drank the wine in the glass in one breath.

"I also wish you a happy birthday, and hope that your leg injury will recover soon."

Liu Ying also picked up the wine glass and blessed Shang Rin.

Shang Lin couldn't help but raise a smile on his face:
"If you are willing to stay with me all the time, I would rather lose this..."

He said these words in a joking tone, but before he could say anything, Liu Ying stretched out her hand to cover his mouth in shock.

The concern in her eyes was instantly palpable:
"It's your birthday, don't say such unlucky things."

Shang Rin froze for a moment, and at that moment, his heart became soft because of Liu Ying's concerned eyes and eager movements.

He couldn't help but grab Liu Ying's hand, and put it on his lips to kiss it lightly. At that moment, for some reason, he suddenly felt that even if he lost this leg, he would be willing.

Liu Ying was just a conditioned reflex in desperation, how could she have imagined that Shang Rin would suddenly kiss her hand in front of his mother.

Like an electric shock, she immediately took her hand back.

Zhu Renhe was drinking the soup of the girl's chicken slices at this time, but was stuffed with a handful of dog food, choking her so much that she almost spit out the soup.

"Thank you, I think you care more and more about me."

Shang Lin looked at Liu Ying affectionately, his eyes full of love.

How could Liu Ying bear such scorching eyes, she subconsciously grabbed the wine glass in front of her, took a big sip of red wine, moved her eyes away and said:
"You think too much, I just hope to leave here sooner."

But Shang Rin seemed to see through her, his leg hidden under the table gently hooked her calf:

"You obviously care about me, but you still have a hard mouth—"
