food protection

Lu Jin followed her home and smelled a strong aroma as soon as he entered the door.

Lu Jin's nostrils are fluttering, it smells so good, this is the taste of pickled cabbage and yellow croaker noodles

Lu Jin subconsciously looked in the direction of the restaurant. On the dining table were bowls and dishes containing food, and a ceramic saucepan with a lid.

The rising heat indicates that the food has just come out of the pan, but the strange thing is that Lu Jin still hasn't found any helpers...

That weird feeling came again, it couldn't be made by Chaoci who just walked in, right? If she was picked up after cooking, the food would have been completely cold on the way.

Lu Jin felt that he seemed to be restrained by anxiety, always thinking about some strange things.

Perhaps, the maid's aunt left after cooking.

Through this period of getting along, Lu Jin can feel that Chaoci is a person with a strong sense of boundaries. Even the aunt who is a helper at home all the year round may not be too close. Leaving directly after cooking seems to fit the atmosphere of Chaoci's house.

After entering the warm room, the lights turned on automatically, Chaoci hung his coat on the hanger by the door, looked back at Lu Jin, paused for a short moment, as if he was waiting for her to bring the coat over and hang it up together, which was quite natural.

From time to time, Chaoci and her suddenly showed a strange way of getting along as an old husband and wife. He didn't get close to her, and he had his own hands. After taking them off, he hung them up.

Not only Chaoci has a sense of boundary, but Lu Jin will also draw a clear boundary in his heart.

Especially now that Chaoci has really become her "golden master", and he is suspected of flattering the enthusiasm of the "golden master", Lu Jin has always been unwilling to speculate on other people's likes and dislikes in order to curry favor.She is not good at flattery at all, and if she really does this, she will easily show her flaws, embarrassing herself and making people uncomfortable.

but……

Lu Jin took a peek at Chaoci, there is no doubt that Chaoci was helping her, if he avoided her too directly, wouldn't it be a bit indiscriminate, ungrateful or it would be better to show a little obedience and "wash your hands" It's time to eat." Chao Ci didn't care about hanging up her coat, and after washing her hands, she naturally continued to call Lu Jin to wash her hands.

After finishing speaking, Chao Ci paused for a while when he met Lu Jin's surprised eyes.

Chaoci said in his heart: Oh no, it seems that he has inadvertently revealed his wife again.

But Lu Jin thought in his heart: What kind of parental tone is she? Is my mother disciplining her daughter and treating me like a child again? But you must wash your hands before eating, no matter how much Lu Jin slanders you, you can only follow the court speech If so, wash it off.

After washing, I looked up and found a tissue box stuck on the left hand side at a very convenient height, and half of the outermost tissue had been pulled out.

"On the far left is hand cream."

Zhao Ci reminded Lu Jin while placing the tableware, and at the same time extinguished the Qingyuan red fire around the stew pot that only she could see. Added a rare warmth.

After Lu Jin finished wiping his hands, he glanced at the glass jar containing the hand cream, and it seemed that he had sensed it.Stretch your hand under the jar, and the silky hand cream flows slowly onto your hand, with just the right amount.

Lu Jin rubbed the backs of his hands together, looking back at Chaoci.

Chaoci was standing at the dining table carefully arranging the tableware, two pairs of very similar chopsticks were placed flat on the chopstick rest beside the dinner plate.

"Miss Lu, please."

After Zhao Ci carefully arranged all the tableware, he also kindly helped Lu Jin pull out the high-back chair and waited for her to pass.

Lu Jin said "thank you" softly, and sat down at the dining table a little awkwardly.

After sitting down, she soon discovered that both the plates and the chopsticks were in pairs.

The chopsticks placed in front of her have gold patterns on the silver background, and when they are put together, they will find a lifelike laurel tree carved with golden patterns on the body of the chopsticks.Under the laurel tree sits a snow-white little rabbit, leaning against the tree trunk with cute long ears, holding a branch of osmanthus in its short forelimbs, looking into the distance, thinking about something.The sweet-scented osmanthus swayed down from the sky like dots of bright little gold, and a few fell on the soft head of the little rabbit.

Both the laurel tree and the little rabbit are lifelike, and even the floating osmanthus has a dynamic beauty.

Lu Jin was amazed by such a meticulous carving process, she had never seen such a delicate and exquisite painting on the slender chopsticks.

Lu Jin subconsciously looked towards Chaoci.

Seeing that the chopsticks in her hand are very similar to the style of Lu Jin's here, it's just a silver pattern on a gold background, and there is also an animal carved on it, so I can't tell what animal it is.

When the two of them sat on both sides of the dining table, Lu Jin noticed that the dining table was very narrow compared to the high windows and the empty living room.

Compared with the tables in ordinary restaurants, it was too narrow, roughly only the width of Lu Jin's arm, so that sitting face to face with Chao Ci, the distance between the two of them was so close that Lu Jin felt a little uneasy.

Two warm yellow chandeliers hang directly above the dining table, reflecting every detail of Chaoci's face softly and peacefully. This story-filled face Lu Jin has seen countless times on the big screen, as if the next second She will show a meaningful micro-expression, or say a line that is unexpected.

The imaginary movie story did not happen at all, and Chaoci did not release any sense of oppression on her. Instead, he carefully helped her put the chicken soup into a bowl, pushed it in front of her, and handed over a bottle of white pepper.

Lu Jin took the white pepper and froze for a moment.

"Why?" Chaoci was a little surprised, "I don't like white pepper in chicken soup."

"No... I really like it." On the contrary, white pepper in chicken soup is Lu Jin's consistent preference, but she knows that not everyone has this habit.

Chaoci handed her white pepper as a matter of course, as if he was passing a spoon for soup.

is this her taste too

"That's good." Chao Ci reminded, "The soup is still a little hot, Miss Lu drink it slowly."

Lu Jin ground the white pepper into the bowl thoughtfully. After stirring, the white pepper quickly merged with the chicken soup. The original fragrant chicken soup was mixed with white pepper, and the spiciness stimulated the taste buds even more. It melted and enveloped her all day. The coldness and stiffness, and even the pain in the lower abdomen due to the menstrual period are more comfortable, and the pain quickly disappears.

At the same time as the soup was finished, Chaoci was already using serving chopsticks to help her portion out noodles with pickled cabbage and yellow croaker.

It was non-stop.

"I can do it myself." Lu Jin, who has always been used to taking care of others, was a little ashamed to be taken care of tonight, not to mention that the person who took care of her was Chao Ci.

Chaoci's eyes fell on Xuecai Huangyu's face without raising his eyes. Hearing Lu Jin's polite words, the corners of his mouth curled into a smile.

"My future heroine, you're welcome, I'd love to do it."

"..."

Chaoci didn't hold a lot, and the two mouthfuls of noodles were covered with just the right amount of fish and a little more pickled vegetables. Just when Lu Jin was saying "enough", she stopped and continued to stack the food, and put the serving chopsticks Putting it down, stretching out his long arms, he just placed the bowl in front of Lu Jin.

"Miss Lu, try it, and I'll serve it for you after eating."

Chaoci did not ask Lu Jin what he thought of this bowl of noodles at all. At first, Lu Jin thought that she might be very confident in her cooking skills, so he naturally felt that the guests would not be dissatisfied.

In fact, Chaoci does have the capital of self-confidence.

It is not too much to say that this is the best noodle that Lu Jin has eaten so far.

The aroma of the fish and the saltiness of pickled cabbage are well blended together, soaked in the chewy and flexible noodles, the mouth is smooth and springy, and the aroma is overflowing.

Lu Jin is not a person who eats food, maybe because she is really hungry at the moment, or maybe because this bowl of noodles is so delicious, Lu Jin actually ate it all up in one sitting.

Putting down the bowl after eating, she looked at the bottom of the empty bowl, lost in thought.

There is not even a mouthful of soup left, is this something I can do?

Chaoci didn't think Lu Jin was rude at all, but looked at her with a smile on his face.

Lu Jin is the one who eats, but she is the one who is satisfied.

When Lu Jin put down the bowl and chopsticks, he found that Chao Ci had been watching her eat.He entertained the guests with soup and noodles, but the bowl in front of him was clean.

Lu Jin asked curiously, "Aren't you going to eat?"

"Well, eat." After Chao Ci filled a bowl of soup for himself, he got up and went to the kitchen before he started, and brought out a small plate with two delicate snacks on it.

"Red bean shortbread, dessert after dinner." Chao Ci put the small plate in front of Lu Jin, but didn't take it for himself, it seemed that it was specially prepared for her.

Lu Jin seldom eats Chinese dim sum, because pastry is easy to get angry and gain weight, which is not friendly to her who often faces the camera.

But these two small snacks are round, cute and regular, and there is a golden full moon printed in the middle, which can be seen that they were made with great care.

Not wanting to waste Chao Ci's kindness, Lu Jin picked up a piece and took a bite. The puff pastry was very crispy, and the soft and sweet filling was just right, and it had a special aroma.

She tasted it carefully and found that it was sweet-scented osmanthus.

Sweet osmanthus is added to the red bean stuffing, which is not greasy at all. The only obvious thing is the sweetness that complements the pastry.

Lu Jin, who has never been interested in desserts, never thought that this kind of snack could be so delicious, so he ate a whole one without knowing it.

When Chaoci saw her eyes widen slightly, he knew that she loved to eat.

Looking at the person across the table quietly and nostalgicly, Chao Cibi knows that this is Lu Jin's favorite taste. No matter how many lives she has passed in the world, as long as the same delicious food enters her mouth, she will show exactly the same taste as now. Cute expression.

Perhaps it was because the dinner was simple but delicious beyond Lu Jin's expectation, she ate [-]% full for the first time.

As the master, Chaoci still didn't move a mouthful.

Lu Jin felt a little embarrassed.

As an actress, Chaoci can resist the temptation of delicious food, but she is not satisfied until her stomach is bloated.

Chao Ci obviously had no desire to eat, but Lu Jin found that her illness seemed to be getting better.

When I saw her before, she was always pale and sweating, and I could feel that she was enduring something extremely.And these two times, even though there was a scab on his lips that he didn't want to mention, he was much more relaxed after all, and he didn't sweat anymore.

Miss Chao has her own ideas and way of life.

Lu Jin thought to himself, I'm already very disturbing as an outsider, so I don't need to dictate other people's lives anymore.

During the whole process of the guests eating, this confident host never doubted whether his craftsmanship was in line with the other's taste, as if he knew the answer a long time ago, watching Lu Jin stand up and clean up the dishes after eating.

Seeing her start tidying up, Lu Jin was sure that there were really no servants in the mansion, and immediately got up together: "Let me do it."

Seeing that Lu Jin's clean white hands were about to reach out to touch the oil stains on the dishes, Chaoci immediately raised his hand and pinched Lu Jin's fingertips.

"No, I'll just come."

The soft fingers fell into Chaoci's hands, and Chaoci, who was not wearing gloves at the moment, looked down at the fingers lightly pinched by her three fingers. The clean nails were painted with transparent nail polish, with a natural peach pink.

The real touch is like an electric current hitting Chaoci's heart directly from the fingertips.

The sweet smell from Lu Jin's flesh and blood still haunts her. As long as Lu Jin is still alive and appears in front of her, the evil curse that will drive her mad for a moment will be triggered endlessly. Let her get mad quickly and eat this little prey that should only belong to her.

But now the Heart-eating Gu is sealed in her heart, whenever her desires flare up, the Heart-eating Gu that feeds on desire and blood will feel all of this, the combination of the two is its perfect food, With nowhere to go, it longs to feast on Chaoci's heart.

The severe pain kept Chao Ci awake, much easier than the heart-shattering evil spell.

She used this method to continue to approach Lu Jin without the possibility of hurting her.

So far everything has been going well, even being able to actually touch Lu Jin's skin without suddenly losing his mind.

Chaoci looked at Lu Jin's white and clean little hands, and she was familiar with every delicate joint and the direction of the light blue blood vessels under the skin on the back of the hand.

And the last time I held it like this was a hundred years ago.

Chaoci was attracted by Lu Jin's hand, but forgot to let go for a moment.

It wasn't until she came back to herself that she realized what she was doing.

At the same time as she wanted to let go, a drop of tear fell on her fingertips, knocking her heart that was in severe pain.

She raised her eyes, and found that Lu Jin didn't know when she was crying.

Lu Jin looked a little dazed, staring at their overlapping hands, he didn't know what he thought of, his heart ached from the long-lost nostalgia and unspeakable sorrow, and tears fell down uncontrollably.

"Miss Lu..." Chaoci saw her crying, and his voice trembled uncontrollably.

Lu Jin just woke up like a dream, realizing that his emotions were out of control and exaggerated, so he withdrew his hand all of a sudden.

"Sorry, I, I'm going to the bathroom!" After saying that, he turned around and left.

Looking at her wiping away tears behind his back, Chao Ci reminded in a soft voice: "The bathroom is on the right."

Lu Jin limped into the bathroom and closed the door.

Chaoci walked to the door softly, leaned against the wall, stared at the portrait of himself in the living room with a little straight eyes.
