it's dark, coax me

Zhou Xing watched quietly for a while, he thought that Gu Xiu was not good at these things, and he might be at a loss or flustered.

He originally planned to step forward to help Gu Xiu when he needed it, but he didn't expect that Gu Xiu's movements were surprisingly proficient, and he washed and cut the vegetables he was going to fry in a short time.

Zhou Xing smiled lightly, straightened up, took the ingredients that Gu Xiu had prepared, heated up the wok, and began to prepare the stir-fry.

Gu Xiu stood aside and asked, "Is there anything else I can do to help?"

Seeing that Gu Xiu was rarely interested, Zhou Xing pointed to a small bowl of fruit on the table and said, "Help me wash these."

Most of the fruits and vegetables brought back yesterday have been sorted and put into the refrigerator by Zhou Xing, and he is going to make some of the rest into jam, and the other part is cut and dried, so these are left outside.

He originally wanted to wait until the afternoon to do it by himself, but now seeing that Gu Xiu was interested in doing it, he handed it over to him.

Gu Xiu took it.

Thinking of Gu Xiu's legs, Zhou Xing brought a chair over, helped Gu Xiu to sit on the chair, and then continued to cook.

The two of them were doing their own things, and they didn't talk anymore. There were only small voices in the kitchen from time to time, but strangely, neither of them felt dull. On the contrary, they felt that the atmosphere was very good.

Washing fruit is a very simple matter, Gu Xiu did it without spending much time.

Seeing that Zhou Xing was still busy, Gu Xiu looked at the lemons on the table and asked, "Do you like honey lemon tea?"

Zhou Xing hadn't had a drink, but he still responded.

Gu Xiu asked, "Is there any honey?"

"some."

"Sealed jar?"

"Also."

Zhou Xing took the honey and the sealed jar and handed them to Gu Xiu.

Gu Xiu took it and took some salt.

Zhou Xing looked at him sideways.

I saw Gu Xiu rub a layer of salt on the wet skin of the lemon, and then rub it lightly. After a while, he washed the salt grains off with water, and he did the same for the next few lemons.

After that, he wiped the water off the skin of the lemon, removed the ends of the lemon and carefully sliced ​​it into thin slices.

Slices of lemon were neatly stacked on the plate.

"Is there a toothpick?" Gu Xiu asked again.

"Um...no..."

Zhou Xing's teeth are very good, and there is no problem with clogged teeth. Naturally, he couldn't think of preparing toothpicks. He asked, "Will chopsticks work? Or a fruit knife?"

"Row."

Gu Xiu used chopsticks to remove the seeds from the lemon one by one.

Zhou Xing secretly clicked his tongue when he saw it.

After all the seeds were removed, Gu Xiu poured a layer of honey into the glass jar, then put in a few slices of lemon, then poured another layer of honey, and so on. 【Note 1】

After the glass jar was full, Gu Xiu put the lid back on, sealed it well, got up and put it in the refrigerator, "It will be fine in the refrigerator for three days."

Zhou Xing responded.

This honey lemon tea can't be drunk right now, Gu Xiu thought about it, and took two more apples.

He cut the apples into small pieces, took a bowl, put some honey on it, poured warm water and stirred it evenly, then put the apple pieces into the blender, dropped a few drops of lemon juice into it by the way, and then closed the lid .

After the blender was finished, Gu Xiu filtered it through a sieve to remove excess impurities, and poured the juice into a cup.

Then, he used the remaining two apples to cut two butterflies and put them in the cup.

Zhou Xing didn't pay much attention when he drank the glass of juice in the morning, but only now did he realize that Gu Xiu made the drink with care, the appearance of the drink was very delicate, and the movements were also very skillful.

Zhou Xing smiled and said, "I didn't expect you to know these things."

"I used to work in a beverage store."

"work to earn a living?"

"Well, I also worked as a waiter, an hourly worker, and a storage teacher... Now that I think about it, I have done a lot of jobs."

Zhou Xing was a little surprised. He originally thought that Gu Xiu was born in a big city and had a good family background. He should have never experienced any hardships since he was a child, but now it seems that this is not the case.

In fact, Zhou Xing's idea cannot be said to be completely wrong. In terms of family conditions, the conditions of Gu Xiu's family are indeed good. His biological father is in business, and his mother is a teacher. The conditions are not bad.

It's just that those things don't have much to do with him. That's probably what the so-called family has scriptures that are difficult to recite.

Gu Xiu handed the apple juice in front of Zhou Xing and asked, "Try it?"

Zhou Xing took the glass, and the juice was filled in the glass, presenting a bright green color, coupled with the butterfly next to it, there was an indescribable beauty, which made him a little bit reluctant to drink it for a while.

He took one last sip carefully without touching the butterfly.

I don't know if it's because he saw Gu Xiu making it with his own eyes, but the taste of this apple juice made him feel unexpectedly delicious.

Zhou Xing has done almost the same here.

Gu Xiu helped Zhou Xing bring the food to the table.

After the meal, Zhou Xing cleaned up the dishes and took a shower, and changed his clothes by the way.

Then Zhou Xing went back to the kitchen again and started preparing to make jam.

He originally thought that Gu Xiu had been busy with him all morning, and Gu Xiu would not show up in the afternoon, but unexpectedly, an hour later, Gu Xiu unexpectedly appeared in front of him again.

But compared to making fruit juice, jam is not Gu Xiu's field of expertise.

He had no choice but to humbly ask for advice.

But Zhou Xing didn't teach well, he just teased Gu Xiu for a while, making Gu Xiu confused and not sure what he needed to do, so he could only watch Zhou Xing busy on the sidelines.

In fact, when Zhou Xing got along with Gu Xiu before, he always felt that he was a gentleman, and he had a subconscious respect for him. When he was with him, he was more restrained and paid more attention to his words and deeds. The atmosphere between the two It's never been this easy.

At this moment, he didn't know if it was because the two of them had some in-depth exchanges yesterday, or because Gu Xiu put down his airs and became more approachable. Feeling, on the contrary, I think he is a little cute, and I can't help but want to tease him.

He was mainly worried that Gu Xiu would be tired after following him all the time.

Gu Xiu is willing to walk around more, talk to him more, he thinks it is a good sign, but he is in good health, even if he exercises for a day, he doesn't think it's a big deal, Gu Xiu is still different from him, he does all kinds of things all day long. After being busy with such things, he was afraid that Gu Xiu would be tired.

Besides, Gu Xiu's legs are inconvenient now, and it's not suitable for him to stand for a long time, so it's good to just sit on the side and talk to him, without Gu Xiu following suit.

Gu Xiu sat on the chair and watched Zhou Xing busy with his work.

The two pots in his hand were boiling on the fire, and his hands were constantly moving. It was obviously a bit of a busy scene, but he was very calm, and even spared some energy to joke with him from time to time.

This man seems to be born with ease in everything.

It was also the first time that Gu Xiu discovered that Zhou Xing was not always silent, and he was able to talk more when he really encountered a topic that interested him.

After Zhou Xing turned off the flame and made sure that the sauce was ready, Gu Xiu couldn't help standing up and taking a closer look.

He seldom used sauce in the past, and even if he used it, he bought it from the supermarket. This was the first time he had seen the whole process of making sauce, and he couldn't help but want to get closer to see what the result looked like.

Zhou Xing took out the jam. The red apricot jam was bright red, similar to the color of strawberry jam. It was placed in a transparent glass jar and turned into a small bottle.

Gu Xiu held the glass jar in his hand and observed it carefully, like a curious cat.

Zhou Xing couldn't help but tapped on his nose, and successfully wiped the jam that was accidentally spilled on his hand on his nose, making him look more like a cat now.
