Pei Yan's finger that was about to click the payment button paused slightly, and he raised his eyes to look at Gu Yan, with a little surprise and imperceptible joy in his eyes.

Gu Yu licked her lips lightly with some nervousness, and said, "My cooking skills are quite praised, and I just happen to make this stewed beef brisket with radish, if Teacher Pei is willing......"

Before she could finish speaking, Pei Yan nodded lightly and interrupted her: "Okay, then I'll give you a hand." ”

After receiving his affirmative answer, Gu Yan's heart fell back to the same place in an instant, smiled and glanced at him, then turned around and walked to the flow table, took the apron and put it on himself, and said to Pei Yan while adding water to the pot: "Then Teacher Pei will help me cut some ginger and garlic slices, I can use them later." ”

Pei Yan whispered "um" when he heard this, walked up to her, took the kitchen knife with one hand and held the peeled ginger with the other, lowered his head, carefully and rigorously aimed the knife at the position, and slowly cut it.

With a "click", a moderately thick ginger slice appeared on the other side of the knife.

Pei Yan looked at it carefully, pursed her lips with satisfaction, and subconsciously turned her head to look at Gu Yan, but saw that she was staring at herself in a daze, her expression was a little strange, and her face was full of complexity.

Pei Yan blinked suspiciously, and asked softly, "What's wrong?"

"Hmm..."Gu Yu wrinkled her facial features slightly, hesitated for a while, and said euphemistically: "Teacher Pei, you are really not the material for cooking." ”

Pei Yan stiffened when he heard this, turned his face away with some loss, lowered his eyes and looked at the ginger on the board, and said in a low voice: "I'm sorry, I'm really not very good at ......"

Seeing that he suddenly showed such a hurt look, Gu Yan's heart tightened, and she hurriedly stepped forward half a step forward and said with relief: "Teacher Pei, you don't have to apologize for this kind of thing! No one is perfect, but they also have their own strengths, although you don't have the talent to cook, but the brilliance you have created in your acting career and the honor you have won for Huaguo are the heights that others can't reach in their lifetime! You are really perfect, if you can't even cook by yourself, then how can other people live!"

She tilted her head, winked at Pei Yan, and said with a smile: "Teacher Pei, you can give us imperfect people a way out!"

Facing her playful eyes, Pei Yan couldn't help laughing, the loss on his face was swept away, he looked at her, and said, "Gu Yan, you are really good at comforting people, thank you." ”

"Harm, who made us friends!" Gu Yu smiled and gently pushed his arm with her elbow, and took the kitchen knife from his hand, "The correct way to cut ginger slices, Teacher Pei has to take care of it, I will only teach it once!"

As the words fell, she dragged the cutting board to her side, curled the fingers of her left hand to hold the ginger, held the handle of the knife with her right hand, the blade was slightly offset to the outside, and decisively cut it, and a piece of oval-shaped long ginger slices gently fell on the cutting board.

"Oo-oh-ooh", the frequency of the kitchen knife falling on the cutting board became faster and faster, Gu Yu bent down slightly, pursed her lips lightly, and looked intently at the movements of her hands, and some fine beads of sweat oozed from the corners of her forehead.

Looking at her extraordinarily quiet and serious side face, Pei Yan unconsciously felt a little distracted, his eyes stayed on her long and curly eyelashes for a long time, and a vague memory from many years ago suddenly appeared in his mind.

A little boy about seven or eight years old was standing at the kitchen counter, trying to stretch his neck to see what was cooking in the pot, and at this moment, a tall woman walked beside him, smiled and touched the boy's head, picked up the spoon next to him, scooped some soup in the pot, blew it lightly, and handed it to the boy's lips.

"Little glutton, be careful of burning. ”

"Teacher Pei, Pei Yan?" Gu Yu looked at Pei Yan who suddenly began to start, and whispered tentatively.

Hearing her voice, Pei Yan suddenly came back to his senses, quickly withdrew his gaze from staring at her, and said, "I'm sorry, I suddenly thought of some past events just now and immersed myself in it." ”

Gu Yu let out a soft "oh" and glanced at Pei Yan, although she was curious about what kind of past events could make Pei Yan distracted like this, but considering that this was someone's privacy, she didn't ask much, turned around and picked up the strainer to skim off the foam in the pot.

Pei Yan eased his nerves, looked at Gu Yan's movements, his fingers moved lightly unconsciously, and there was a trace of hesitation in his heart, but he still spoke.

"Actually, you just reminded me of my mother. ”

The movement in Gu Yan's hand paused suddenly.

Well??? mother???
