Chapter 146 Lunch Time
Chapter 146 Lunch Time
The grilled fish with an enticing aroma was served on the table. When Ouyang Mengmian was about to serve the rice, she realized that she had forgotten to cook rice today. She looked at the empty rice cooker in annoyance and returned to the dining table with difficulty.
Su Jingsi, who was standing by, saw this and understood what happened instantly. Looking at Ouyang Mengmian's apologetic face, Su Jingsi gently rubbed his forehead, deliberately pretending to be full of regret, and took the initiative to take responsibility: "Oh, this is all my fault! You were busy making grilled fish, and I was just standing there watching stupidly, and I didn't think about cooking at all..."
Ouyang Mengmian was of course aware of Su Jingsi's good intentions. In addition to being grateful, she smiled at Su Jingsi with a little shyness.
At this moment, an idea suddenly flashed through Ouyang Mengmian's mind, giving her an idea - when she checked the refrigerator yesterday, she saw a few steamed buns in the freezer area on the lower level! Those steamed buns should be good as a substitute for rice!
So, she quickly suggested to Su Jingsi: "I saw there seemed to be steamed buns in the refrigerator yesterday, how about we eat steamed buns later?"
Ouyang Mengmian's suggestion reminded Su Jingsi vaguely that he had indeed bought a few steamed buns and stuffed them into the refrigerator. If Ouyang Mengmian hadn't mentioned it at this moment, he would have completely forgotten about it!
Su Jingsi immediately nodded at Ouyang Mengmian, expressing his agreement: "Good idea, steamed buns are not bad, paired with the fragrant fish you grilled, it can be regarded as a special lunch."
When Ouyang Mengmian heard that Su Jingsi agreed with her opinion, the stone in her heart finally fell to the ground and she breathed a sigh of relief. She quickly stood up from her seat, walked to the refrigerator, opened the refrigerator door, and took out a few white and plump big buns.
Ouyang Mengmian put the steamed buns on a plate and put them in the microwave to heat them up. Not long after, she returned to the dining table with a plate of steaming buns. She put the plate on the table and turned to get the chopsticks and plates. After everything was ready, she sat down next to Su Jingsi and prepared to enjoy the food.
Su Jingsi and Ouyang Mengmian had been walking outside for most of the day, and it was time for dinner. They were already a little hungry when they smelled the unique and tempting aroma of grilled fish in the air. At this moment, this aroma was like an invisible hand, tightly grasping the taste buds of Ouyang Mengmian and Su Jingsi, making them salivate.
Ouyang Mengmian carefully picked up a small piece of fish with chopsticks, gently put it in her mouth and took a bite. Instantly, an indescribable feeling of freshness and tenderness came to her heart, making her intoxicated. The rich and mellow taste raged in her mouth like a whirlwind, teasing every taste bud and leaving an unforgettable aftertaste.
Su Jingsi, who was sitting next to him, was also attracted by the tempting aroma. He couldn't wait to stretch out his chopsticks, pick up a piece of fish and put it into his mouth.
The charred aroma of the grilled fish and the tender and juicy taste are perfectly combined, just like a carnival on the tip of your tongue, bringing an unprecedented taste impact. This wonderful taste is no less delicious than the delicacies carefully cooked by chefs in big hotels!
For Su Jingsi and Ouyang Mengmian, it was not that they had never eaten good food, but that such delicious food actually came from their own hands. Such an experience made them feel precious and satisfied.
Su Jingsi knows that cooking is not only a process of turning ingredients into food, but also a transmission and expression of emotions. In the process of selecting ingredients and carefully cooking food with Ouyang Mengmian, they put their common thoughts and care into it, which finally presented the delicious grilled fish in front of them.
Thinking of this, Su Jingsi involuntarily turned his gaze to Ouyang Mengmian beside him, trying to catch her love for the grilled fish from her expression. Sure enough, at this time, Ouyang Mengmian narrowed her eyes slightly, concentrating on tasting the fish in her mouth, as if immersed in a feast of taste.
Witnessing all this, Su Jingsi's innermost emotions surged like a tide, and his chest was filled with joy - Ouyang Mengmian must have the same idea as him, and she was also surprised and satisfied by the delicious food they cooked together!
For Su Jingsi, seeing Ouyang Mengmian showing a happy and satisfied smile because of his efforts is the most precious thing for him! For this reason, Su Jingsi's face is full of satisfied and happy smiles.
Ouyang Mengmian unscrewed the drink bottle, poured a glass for Su Jingsi first, and then poured a glass for herself. The sweet and sour juice paired with the delicious grilled fish once again opened the taste buds of the two.
Ouyang Mengmian's eyes met Su Jingsi's unexpectedly. When their eyes met, some inexplicable feelings inadvertently penetrated each other's hearts. She smiled, raised her hand holding the juice cup slightly, and gestured to Su Jingsi. Her eyes were shining with a bright light like stars, which made people intoxicated.
Seeing this, Su Jingsi slowly raised the juice cup in his hand and gently touched it with Ouyang Mengmian's cup. There was a crisp "ding" sound, like the sound of nature, which seemed to whisper their inner joy and tacit understanding at this moment.
Ouyang Mengmian playfully winked at Su Jingsi, with an unconcealable excitement on her face, and said happily: "Cheers to our great cooking skills! This grilled fish is so delicious, I have never tasted such delicious grilled fish before!"
Su Jingsi's heart moved, and he stared at Ouyang Mengmian gently and firmly, as if he wanted to engrave her deeply in his heart: "This is just the beginning. In the future... we will have countless beautiful moments and more unforgettable delicacies..."
The two of them were very close to each other, so Ouyang Mengmian could naturally hear everything Su Jingsi said clearly.
Ouyang Mengmian was shocked when she heard Su Jingsi say that they were "just getting started" and that they would "have countless wonderful moments and more unforgettable delicacies" in the future. But she quickly took the opportunity to pick up the cup in front of her and drank the remaining juice in it, as if this could cover up her turbulent heart.
Su Jingsi had been paying attention to Ouyang Mengmian's actions since he said this. He soon understood her thoughts from her concealing actions.
He understood that although he and Ouyang Mengmian already had a lot of tacit understanding and sweetness, it might take some time for Ouyang Mengmian to completely let down her guard and accept him. Relationships cannot be rushed, and Su Jingsi did not want to put too much pressure on Ouyang Mengmian, let alone force her to make a decision immediately.
For Su Jingsi, the most important thing now is not to get a clear answer, but to let Ouyang Mengmian truly feel his deep affection for her. Everything that has happened now is already a huge breakthrough and progress.
So Su Jingsi didn't say anything else. He started to enjoy the grilled fish as if nothing had happened.
Su Jingsi's considerate silence made Ouyang Mengmian feel relieved. She looked at Su Jingsi who was concentrating on tasting the grilled fish, and a ripple appeared in her heart. She understood that Su Jingsi's words just now were actually conveying a deep emotion to her.
The afternoon sun shone through the white veil onto the two of them, giving them a faint halo. Ouyang Mengmian took a bite of the steamed bun, and the soft texture of the bun and the fresh taste of the grilled fish intertwined in her mouth, making her feel unprecedented satisfaction. She couldn't help but think that it would be nice if this satisfaction could last forever.
Ouyang Mengmian looked at Su Jingsi and suddenly felt relieved and comfortable. She knew that Su Jingsi was someone she deserved to cherish, and no matter what the future held, she would cherish this relationship.
The two of them quietly enjoyed their lunch. Although this meal lacked rice, the combination of steamed buns and grilled fish was surprisingly harmonious. The steamed buns absorbed the soup from the grilled fish and became more fragrant, soft and delicious, while the freshness of the grilled fish was perfectly brought out by the steamed buns. Both of them felt that this lunch was simple but had a unique flavor.
After lunch, Ouyang Mengmian and Su Jingsi cleaned up the table and dishes together. When everything was ready, Ouyang Mengmian said hello to Su Jingsi and quickly returned upstairs.
