Chapter 26: The Power of Heartache

At this time, she had already opened the door, looked at the familiar things inside, and recalled slightly: "I'm afraid no one could have thought that this is where I grew up since I was a child, even in the days when I went abroad, as long as I came back and had enough time, I would come over to see..."

After speaking, she looked back at me and sighed quietly: "People are emotional animals, and if you stay in one place for a long time, you will have feelings, so when I return to China, even if I join the work, I have always lived here, and at the same time, I am always vigilant, don't forget the hard days before, I don't rely entirely on myself for all this..."

At this moment, a gentle breeze blew outside the window, shining on her delicate eyelids with the scorching light of the sunset, like the goddess Athena in Western mythology, dignified, elegant, and vaguely with a unique cold temperament.

It can be seen that in this woman, there are a lot of hidden past events with the vicissitudes of time, although I have strong doubts in my heart, but after many years in the workplace, I have deeply realized what to ask, what not to ask, some things, in the case of others are unwilling to disclose, it is better to know less.

After entering the house, Su Wan directly carried a few bags into the kitchen, and then tied an apron and began to get busy, I wanted to do something about it, but she resolutely refused, and even closed the roller shutter door of the kitchen, telling me to watch TV outside and wait patiently for dinner.

As I sat on the couch watching TV, I was expecting her to surprise me when she came out, or to present a delicious meal in front of me, but it wasn't until the moment the shutter door opened that I realized that everything before was purely my free reverie.

Almost none of the two plates of food in her hand can be seen, at least the dim dishes can reduce people's appetite by half, and it is only a thin line away from the legendary dark cuisine.

In fact, I should have doubted her previous vows, after all, she is a company leader, and there are countless things to be busy behind her, sometimes she can't even eat, how can she have spare time to study cooking?

Just when I smacked my tongue slightly, she had already brought two dishes to the table, and said slightly apologetically: "I'm sorry, this is my highest level, you will just take it..."

I didn't speak, but I stepped forward, picked up my chopsticks and tasted it, it was a scrambled egg with tomatoes, it was a home-cooked dish, but I felt weird, the taste was not only jerky, but also had a burnt taste.

Obviously, this was a complete failure, and in the end I couldn't help but vomit it, and when I looked up, I just met Su Wan's regretful gaze, coughed dryly, and she said, "Is the food I made so unpalatable?"

Speaking of this, she paused, pointed to the dish next to her, and said with some unfinished words: "Why don't you try this, fried beans with eggplant, I've tasted it before, and it feels pretty good, but I don't know if it suits your appetite..."

After she finished speaking, I inexplicably felt like I wanted to escape, but in the end, I still suppressed this restless thought, and said with a wry smile: "Okay, my eldest lady, let's let you taste my craft..."

With that, I ignored her surprised gaze and went straight into the kitchen, cleaning up the mess she had just left behind, and going on a new round of busyness.

In fact, as early as the days when I got along with Xu Ya, I practiced a good cooking skill, not forced, on the contrary, it is a very romantic thing to be able to cook for my beloved and get praise, which is enough to be worth tens of millions of sweet words.

This time, I didn't do any superfluous tricks, everything was simplified into complex, and it was still a home-cooked dish, a total of four, the first two dishes were the same as her, the third was seaweed soup, and some meat was added, as for the last one was the famous Jinhua ham in my hometown, and the raw materials were purchased by me "on my own".

Probably the contrast is particularly obvious, when I brought these dishes to the table, Su Wan was very surprised, and when she sat down, she couldn't help sighing: "I really can't imagine that you still have such a hand, in my impression, don't men sit back and enjoy their success when they come home?"

"I have to give in for the majority of male compatriots...", I also picked up a chair and sat down, and then said, "Actually, there are still quite a few good men in real life, although they look full of enthusiasm when they show up outside, and they have a bad image, but when they get home, they are not docile, but you haven't met them..."

"Then are you such a man?" she suddenly asked when she picked up the chopsticks, "Or did you do this during the time you spent with your ex-girlfriend Xu Ya?"

"Sort of. After thinking about it, I added, "But I did it all voluntarily, but in the end she left me, as a man, I took my share of responsibility, but as a lover, I was a complete failure..."

Speaking of this, I clenched my fists tightly, slowly sank my head under the table, and looked at my shoes on the floor in a daze.

"I'm sorry. Realizing that something was wrong on my side, she said slightly apologetically, "Eating is eating, I shouldn't be so mouthful." ”

"It's fine. Slowly looking up, I looked at her and said, "It's just a momentary feeling, you don't have to mind." ”

As I spoke, I took the initiative to pick up the chopsticks, sandwiched a piece of ham for her, and introduced: "This is the specialty of our hometown, Jinhua ham, one of the four major hams in China, you can taste it first..."

"Since it's special from your hometown, why didn't you tell me earlier?" she glanced at me reproachfully, and she took the ham slices from the bowl into her mouth, her lips red and her teeth white, and chewed carefully.

I have to say that her eating posture is extremely elegant, giving people a feeling of imminent danger, especially this piece of ham, she tasted it for a minute, and then answered me seriously: "It tastes good, it's just salty, but I think this should be its original flavor, so it's more suitable for eating...."

"That's good. Receiving her affirmative answer, I smiled, "If I have the opportunity in the future, I will do it for you a few more times..."

"Huh. Smiling, she looked at me meaningfully and said, "You don't have any other intentions, do you?"

"If we had other intentions, I guess we wouldn't be sitting here tonight. Knowing that she was joking, I took the opportunity to answer, "That's it, I'll go back to my hometown another day and bring my own pickled ones over, which are authentic, not only eliminating intermediate links, but also worrying about food safety..."

"Okay. Nodding, she seemed to think of something, "From today's recording, I can feel Qin Hao's appreciation for you, and there is more than a star and a half in it, if I guessed correctly, he chatted with you alone before, it should be this matter, or rather, he gave you generous conditions, making you hesitate, but in the end, you still decided to stay and advance and retreat with the stars..."

After speaking, she looked up at me, her beautiful big eyes did not blink, and she said very solemnly: "Liu Ming, you don't need to explain or explain this time, I understand you, and I am very fortunate to be able to harvest talents like you in this materialistic era, I think, whether it is for the stars or for me personally, this is a valuable wealth..."

Outside the window, the night is dark, the atmosphere in the house is quiet, in the light of the candlelight, I can vaguely see Su Wan's increasingly gentle eyes, which is pitiful, at this moment, I also suddenly have an urge to hug her into my arms...

But in the end, I still suppressed this thought, as the old saying goes, I am always vigilant to myself, and I am also very aware of the real gap with her before, some things, when you are not able to take care of it, it is better not to provoke more...
