Mu Qingci has not bought groceries since she moved to the East Lake community, but fortunately there is a large shopping mall in the East Lake business district. She can go to the large shopping mall to buy groceries as long as she gets off the subway one stop in advance.
As soon as she entered the mall, she went straight to the aquatic products and vegetable sections of the supermarket.
After buying the vegetables I wanted, I walked out of the mall. When I was walking to the subway station, I happened to see a young lady selling flowers. Mu Qingci saw that the flowers were very fresh and the colors were very beautiful, so she couldn't help but buy them. Carry a bunch.
Arriving at Donghu Community Station, Mu Qingci walked out with vegetables in one hand and flowers in the other.
The summer sun is still very strong even around five o'clock in the afternoon.
Mu Qingci walked under the shade of a tree, but she wasn't worried about being exposed to the sun.
Unexpectedly, as soon as she entered the community, a car drove up from behind and stopped when it reached her side.
Mu Qingci subconsciously stopped and turned her head to look over. When she saw it was Mr. Shen and the man who helped last night, she smiled and said hello to them: "Good afternoon."
Shen Yuxuan also smiled at her, his eyes lingered on the vegetables and flowers in her hands for a moment, and then he said, "Miss Mu is very good at living."
The man driving the car smiled at her and introduced himself when Mu Qingci looked at him: "My name is Xiao Mo."
Then he added: "Miss Mu has a better life than our boss, but he has never thought about buying flowers or anything like that."
Mu Qingci pursed her lips and smiled.
Shen Yuxuan added: "The sun is shining brightly, so hurry in."
Mu Qingci thought about inviting them to dinner. Now that she saw him, she mentioned it: "Thank you for last night. Whenever you have time, I will treat you to dinner."
Xiao Mo was about to speak as he had time now, but was interrupted by Shen Yuxuan: "We are all busy during this period, let's wait for a while."
Mu Qingci nodded and said with a smile: "Then it's settled. When the time comes, you can tell the instructor so that I can make arrangements in advance."
"good."
"Mr. Shen, Mr. Xiao, goodbye."
"goodbye."
Xiao Mo drove the car out.
After waiting for a while and looking at the slim figure walking in the rearview mirror, Xiao Mo clicked his tongue and said, "If the boss hadn't let us go to his house, I would have really wanted to have a meal. The boss specially asked someone to go there today. I brought back some hairy crabs, and it turned out that I was going to treat Miss Mu to eat them."
Shen Yuxuan smiled and said to him: "If you are not afraid of being punished, you can go."
Xiao Mo: "No, I'm afraid that some of us grown men will go there and they won't be able to cook enough. Let's wait until the boss catches someone."
After saying that, he was still a little worried: "Do you think the boss is interested in her because she helped him get rid of his inner demons, or because he likes her?"
"What do you think?"
"I definitely hope to have both. Such a beautiful girl with culture and temperament can't be cheaper than others."
"...makes sense."
…
When Mu Qingci went upstairs and opened the door, she heard the sound of chopping vegetables coming from the kitchen.
She closed the door and strode to the kitchen door. She saw Feng Lie standing by the stove, chopping vegetables. The stew pot next to him was steaming, and the ribs soup had obviously been boiled.
Feng Lie turned his head and looked over when she came over.
The little girl standing by the kitchen door is holding vegetables in one hand and flowers in the other. At this moment, her cheeks are still flushed because she came in from outside, and the flowers in her arms just make her face more delicate and charming. Especially those eyes that were obviously angry and sparkling.
"Instructor Feng, didn't you say I would treat you to dinner tonight? Why are you cooking?"
Mu Qingci looked at him and puffed her cheeks angrily.
Feng Lie pointed to the vegetables placed there with his chin and said, "I only cooked the ribs. I just washed and cut the other vegetables and waited for you to come back and fry them."
After saying that, he put down the kitchen knife in his hand, washed his hands under the faucet, turned and walked to her, stretched out his hand towards her: "Give me the vegetables, you can fry them after I wash them."
After speaking, he glanced at her beautiful dress and flowers, and then said, "It's best to change your clothes when cooking."
Mu Qingci nodded, gave him the food, and said uneasily, "I'm going to change clothes first. Don't fry the food."
Feng Lie looked at her worried expression, a smile flashed in his eyes, and he hummed.
Mu Qingci turned around and was about to go back to her room. Suddenly she remembered the flowers she was holding in her hands and asked, "Instructor Feng, do you have a vase at home? I bought a bouquet when I went out to buy groceries and saw how beautiful these flowers were."
Feng Lie shook his head: "No."
Mu Qingci didn't find it strange, and even said with a smile: "Fortunately, I have them, otherwise there would be no place to put these flowers."
After that, he went back to his room.
She went back to her room and changed into a pair of loose pants and a T-shirt, and put on her apron. Then she came out with a vase and arranged the flowers on the dining table before walking into the kitchen.
Feng Lie was washing vegetables at this time.
When he saw her coming, he moved a little to the side and gave her the stove. At the same time, he took another look at her apron.
Mu Qingci didn't notice his gaze. She glanced at where the oil, salt and condiments were in the kitchen, adjusted the braised sauce, and started to prepare the stir-fry.
Feng Lie had already washed and cut all the vegetables she wanted to stir-fry, including the ginger, onion, and garlic.
The hairy crabs were already steaming on another steamer.
Mu Qingci prepared braised chicken for her first dish. The chicken needed to be blanched before braised, so she added water to the pot, poured the chicken in, then put cooking wine, ginger slices and green onions in it and said to Feng Lie: "I This is the first time I can cook with such ease.”
After saying that, I couldn't help but look at him.
Feng Lie is still washing vegetables.
He stood there tall and straight, but because of his strong and cold aura, he should be incompatible with this place.
But she didn't feel any violation at all. Instead, she felt that he was particularly handsome like this.
He is the kind of handsome person who makes people feel reliable and trustworthy.
Thinking of Wang Zhitao's incident, she told him: "Zhiyi told me that Wang Zhitao was taken away by the police, and his family also went to your mother's place. The family didn't embarrass my aunt, right?"
"No."
Feng Lie turned his head and glanced at her at this moment, his eyes were calm and deep that Mu Qingci had never been able to see through.
He said: "He has hurt several girls before. The evidence is conclusive and he will be sentenced soon. No one dares to tolerate him before the national law."
Mu Qingci had to guess that these things must have been done by Feng Lie. She felt a little moved and asked, "Instructor Feng, did you ask someone to find the evidence of Wang Zhitao's crime?"
"Um."
The corners of Mu Qingci's mouth deepened, "Thank you."
Feng Lie glanced at her again, his gaze lingering on the corner of her mouth for two seconds before he looked away and continued washing the vegetables.
By the time he finished washing the vegetables, the chicken was also blanched.
Feng Lie didn't even go out.
When Mu Qingci poured down the oil and stir-fried the chicken, she couldn't help but look at him.
Feng Lie reminded him: "Watch the oil."
Mu Qingci retracted her gaze and stared at the oil. When the oil was almost heated, she added ginger and garlic and stir-fried the chicken.
Neither of them spoke, only the sound of stir-frying chicken was left.
When the chicken started to simmer, Feng Lie asked: "When did you learn to cook?"
Although Mu Qingci was a little surprised that he would ask this, she still said: "Ever since I started working."
Maybe it was because the atmosphere was so good that she suddenly felt the desire to talk: "When I first went to work at [Ancient and Modern Dating], the money owed by my family had not been paid off. I originally had to pay a sum of money to rent a house outside. Eating out would definitely cost a lot, so I learned to cook. Fortunately, I have a talent for cooking and a famous teacher like my mother to guide me.”
Speaking of this, she looked at Feng Lie with a smile in her eyes. No matter how difficult it was at the beginning, she was full of hope.
"Later, our family paid off the money we owed, but I felt that eating too much food outside was not as good as cooking it myself. Especially when I had time, I would go back on weekends. My mother would prepare a lot of meat sauce or braised pork for me and bring it with me. I can eat these for a week, which is much better than eating out."
Then he added: "I will ask my mother to make more braised pork when I go back this week. I will bring it back for you to try. After you taste it, you will definitely miss it."
Feng Lie didn't even answer, but pursed his lips tightly.
Mu Qingci asked in confusion: "What's wrong?"
Feng Lie: "I'm leaving City S for a week."
