Chapter 19 Bento.

In the evening, Lu Xiao made cumin lamb and mashed potato rice.

When it was served on the table, Lu Xiao felt filled with happiness. It turned out that life was more interesting if it was lived this way.

While eating, Lu Xiao asked Ares, "Do you have your own separate office in the military district?"

Ares nodded and said, "Yes."

"That's good. I just bought two microwave ovens online. You can have one and I can have one. We can put them in the office and heat up lunch at noon. It's very convenient."

He had never thought that Lu Xiao had taken him into consideration when she said she would bring him food. Ares was a little confused for a moment, and it took him a while to find his voice again: "Thank you."

It would be the same if he didn't say "no need" or "drink nutrient solution" because Lu Xiao had already prepared everything for him quietly. If he was still so tactless, it would spoil the fun.

So the most appropriate words are "thank you".

"You're welcome, it's just a matter of convenience. Oh, by the way, is 2000 yuan a month enough for your pocket money?"

Ares felt that he could understand every word Lu Xiao said, but he could not understand them at all when they were put together.

"I, I don't need pocket money, my money..."

"You are a major general after all. It's not good to go out for dinner without money in your pocket, especially when you go out with your subordinates. Do you have the nerve to let your subordinates treat you to a meal? Let's make it like this for now. 2000 yuan pocket money a month. If it's less, tell me. If it's more, you save it. You can't go out without money in your pocket. That's it."

She could figure out what Ares was going to say without him having to finish his words.

Ares is like a girl who has been poisoned by feudalism and is deeply poisoned.

Looking at the 2000 yuan that suddenly appeared on his terminal, Ares felt like he was dreaming.

Everything seems so unreal.

Lu Xiao ignored him and let him digest it on his own.

Since she has to bring her own lunch tomorrow, she plans to prepare the vegetables in advance so that she can fry them in the morning and they will be fresher.

Before Lu Xiao comforted Ares in the evening, she suddenly remembered, "You don't have to pick me up the day after tomorrow. Four teachers in the office have asked me to watch director Audrin's new film, "Desperate Mistress." I guess I won't be back until late."

"You can contact me when you're done and I'll pick you up."

"No need, I can call a taxi back. It's too late to bother you..."

"It's no trouble, and this is what I should do. I want to pick you up."

Suddenly meeting Ares' dark and serious eyes, Lu Xiao's heart trembled slightly. When she came to her senses, she had already nodded.

Ah~ beauty can mislead people!

"Hey, have you heard of Director Audrin?"

"I've heard of her, but I haven't seen her. She's very famous among the females."

I didn't expect Ares to actually know: "I'll tell you after you finish watching it. I hope you won't let me down. Come on, lie down."

Ares had a vague feeling that Lu Xiao would not like Audrin's movies, or in other words, she would not like any of the movies here.

The lieutenant was used to coming in first thing in the morning and cleaning the office for Ares.

Just as he was about to pour water into Ares's cup, Ares walked in from outside, but today he was a little different from the past, with more things in his arms.

Seeing that he was holding a box in his arms, the adjutant quickly put down what he was holding and went over to him: "What did you buy?"

"A microwave oven. The Mistress gave it to me."

Just after putting the box down, the adjutant heard these words, subconsciously looked at Ares, and asked uncertainly: "Who did you just say?" "My female master gave it to me. She said it would be convenient to have this, especially for heating up lunch boxes." As he said that, Ares handed him another square box, which was double-layered.

The adjutant took it steadily and said, "Don't tell me that this is the lunch box your mistress made for you, right?"

"You're a little smart today." Ares smiled with satisfaction.

The adjutant, however, was not in a good state. He had begun to wonder if Major General Ares had suffered some kind of mental attack and was suffering from hallucinations.

"Are you really okay?"

"I'm very good, put the lunch away and heat it up for lunch and bring it to me. I'm going to get to work."

The adjutant stiffened his neck and wanted to say something, but in the end he didn't. He put the lunch box in his hand away and left the office.

Not long after he left, he ran into other colleagues. Seeing that he looked out of sorts, they all came over to ask, "What's wrong? Did you get criticized?"

"How is that possible? Major General Ares would never criticize me. I just... forget it, you wouldn't understand even if I tell you." He didn't want too many people to criticize Major General Ares behind his back.

Because Major General Ares suddenly got married, and to a concubine, he has been the subject of discussion in the military for a long time.

He now couldn't help but wonder if this was the reason Ares did this.

Alas, it’s really not easy for them to be major generals.

This thought continued until lunch time. When he was about to get nutrient solution for Major General Ares, he suddenly remembered that he had brought a "lunch box made by the female master herself" today. The adjutant immediately took out the lunch box, heated it up, and sent it to Ares in the office.

"The major general, it's time to eat." After sending the lunch box over, the adjutant did not leave after giving the reminder. He just wanted to see what was in the lunch box.

After all, he didn't believe that females could cook.

Doesn’t Major General Ares really not know that the phrase “the lunch box was made by the female master herself” is really false?

Ares put down his work upon hearing this, took the lunch box and placed it in front of him, then looked at the adjutant who was standing still: "You..."

"Major General, can you let me see your lunch box?"

Even though he thought Ares was lying, he still wanted to see what the major general had brought him and how good their major general's cooking skills were.

When Ares saw his expression, he knew that this guy didn't believe what he said.

He didn't explain. After all, if he hadn't experienced it himself, he wouldn't have believed that Lu Xiao cooked.

I'm afraid he is the only one in this world who can eat the food cooked by the female master himself.

So he didn't say anything and opened the lunch box in front of the adjutant.

These were all made by Lu Xiao herself this morning: braised prawns, stir-fried pork with green peppers, cold cucumber salad and fish ball soup.

As soon as the lid of the heated bento is opened, the aroma of rice wafts out instantly, which is so tempting.

The adjutant's eyes suddenly widened. Oh my God, even if the major general was lying, his cooking skills were so good!

"Major General, you look so hungry, can you please..."

"No, please go out."

Ares made a gesture of invitation, but the meaning should not be too clear.

The adjutant said persistently: "If you can't eat, you can call me. I am very willing to serve you!"

Ares gave him a faint smile: "Give up, it's impossible!"
