453 Homely Warmth
Yilan sent him out to work, which made Huo Sibei feel extremely strange and precious, so much so that he took Yilan's hand and was reluctant to get into the car.
"Yilan, I'll drive the car away, you just prepare for the exam at home, don't go out and run around, take a nap if you're tired, wait for me to come back, I'll take you out for a walk at night." Hosbei chattered a little and repeated what had already been said at breakfast.
"Got it, let's go." Ilan urged, and she saw that the car next door had already vacated and drove away.
Huo Sibei's gaze lingered on Yilan's face, but he couldn't move.
He didn't come back until dark, and he was very upset about trapping Elan in the house all day. The access control system in the dormitory building is only open to the staff member's registered family members who live with him, and Ilan is not yet his fiancΓ©e, so he has no way to apply for her name to be added to the access control system. In this way, if Ilan is bored and wants to go out for a walk, she has no way to enter again, but to wait for him to come back.
"Got it, I'm not going anywhere, you can go to work with confidence." Ilan assured.
"Ilan, do you want a new taste for the nutrients? I'll buy it for you on the road and I'll get it delivered at noon. β
"No, there are already two or three, they are all delicious, you can go." Yilan couldn't stand it a little, she stood at the door for a while, Huo Sibei was very procrastinating today.
Huo Sibei was reluctant to hug Yilan and put his face to his face, passed the farewell ceremony, got into the car, and circled in front of the building before rushing to the office.
Hoss went to work in the north, and Ilan was not idle, she read the information and sorted out the recipes. It took most of the morning, and then successively received couriers and renovated the kitchen, and it was very busy.
In the afternoon she threw off her arms and began to cook dinner.
It's really hard to cook for two people. The variety should be rich, the amount can not be too much, Yilan prepared a staple food, a main dish, a soup, and a drink per person, and the eight treasures cake specially mentioned by Huo Sibei must not be missed.
The format of the meal for two has been minimal, but there are many ingredients, and each ingredient has to be processed.
She lamented that cooking and eating by herself was a waste of time and money. Not to mention that the ingredients of Bailuan are expensive. All the precious time she spent preparing for the exam in the afternoon was in it.
Ilan looked at the kitchen that was originally empty and now full, and was very worried that this set of cutlery was not cost-effective. Think about how many times she can come to Bailuan? Now that she's free, she can't tell what mission will come. It's going to go out for a year and a half, and at that time, Huo Sibei will only see it and won't use it, so it can't be wasted.
Thinking about it, Ilan felt that it was right to soak in the kitchen all afternoon. While she's there. She had to use the new set of kitchen utensils to be worthy of the money she spent.
When Huo Sibei came back, it was already dark, his building used to be cold and dark and silent, but today it was still in mid-air, he saw the lights on from a distance, Huo Sibei's heart was warm, and he was more and more like an arrow.
Elan prepared the meal, estimating that it would take about the same time. She was a little restless, and she was busy all day today. Praise must be requested. So she ran out of the door and waited through the autumn water.
Hosbei had already seen a figure standing in front of the stairs in the car, the darkness of the night in front of her, and the door behind her was open, casting a soft light from inside. And she is just like wearing the light, facing the night, looking forward to the prime minister, welcoming him who returns late.
"Elan." Hothbei strode towards her, and hugged her tightly with open arms, and the day's concern finally came to fruition.
"Missed me?" Hosbei chuckled and asked reasonably.
"Hmm." Ilan couldn't wait to offer the treasure, and his answer was straightforward.
Entering the door, Yilan didn't let Huo Sibei go any further, she blocked in front of him and said with a smile: "Abei, close your eyes and bow your head." β
Huo Sibei looked at her funny, didn't ask more, and closed his eyes directly.
Ilan took a silk scarf, which she still found in the pile of boxes that Huo Sibei bought for her, and let Huo Sibei use it herself for the first time. She stood on tiptoe, blindfolded Huo Sibei's eyes with a silk scarf, and wrapped it twice before she was relieved.
Afraid that the silk scarf would penetrate the light, Yilan advised: "Don't peek, not faintly." I'll lead you. β
Huo Sibei was really obedient, even though the silk scarf was blindfolded, he still closed his eyes, and Ren Yilan pulled him. His mind was discerning directions, and Ilan led him to the kitchen. He had a faint guess in his heart, but he couldn't believe it. The tip of his nose smelled some fragrance, but Huo Sibei still couldn't believe it.
The silk scarf was untied, Huo Sibei opened his eyes, and was immediately stunned by the changed kitchen.
"Abei, do you like it?" Ilan asked him with a smile.
Hoth's throat choked, and he turned his head to stare deeply at Ilan, and suddenly pulled her into his arms and hugged her tightly.
"I like it, I like it." Hosbei's mood was agitated, it was not the added kitchen utensils that he liked, but the way Ilan arranged the kitchen without any scruples, and she finally stopped treating herself as a guest in his residence.
Yilan was a little dumbfounded, and he didn't see how much Huo Sibei liked cooking on weekdays, why was he so excited just by seeing the kitchenware? Her meals and pastries are still warm in the pot, and they haven't been served, and the biggest surprise hasn't been served yet.
"Abei, Abei." Ilan struggled for a moment and motioned for Hosbei to let go, "I'm cooking, do you want to go upstairs and wash up before you come to eat?" β
Hosbei didn't move, the homely warmth that enveloped him, and that was what Ilan had given him. Such freshness, such nostalgia, it was the first time since they left Moss that he had heard Ilan call him to dinner.
Seeing that Huo Sibei had been standing still, Yilan had no choice but to stuff the silk scarf into his hand, and ordered strongly: "Help me get it, come down quickly, I'm hungry." β
Huo Sibei turned around with a smile.
Yilan sighed and secretly concluded that it was not good to surprise people too much, and it would take a long time for someone to come to their senses. She quickly brought the food to the table, and the dishes and plates were arranged.
This is what Hoss saw when he came north, Ilan was busy with the cloth at the table, the smell of the food on the table was curling, and he leaned against the door frame, as if he was stupid.
"What are you doing standing stupidly? Sit down. Elan shouted.
Hosbei silently walked over and hugged Ilan. His face was buried in Elan's hair, but he didn't say a word.
"Abei, don't be moved, let's eat first, it's not delicious when it's cold." Ilan turned his head sideways to catch a glimpse of the fragrant food on the table, and was really anxious, pulling at Huo Sibei's sleeve, urging him to do another inappropriate thing.
Huo Sibei took a deep breath, smiled and sighed for a while, and scraped the bridge of Yilan's nose helplessly.
After the two sat down, Yilan first pointed to the plate of Bazhen cake in front of Huo Sibei, and smiled mischievously: "Abei, this is the Bazhen cake you have been looking for for several years, but the ingredients are a little different every time, and it may not be the taste in your memory." β
Huo Sibei's eyes fell on the plate of dim sum, square and small, very delicate, the color was divided into several layers, and some fine small particles were sprinkled on the top, Yilan had tested him with a smile before, could you see the original ingredients from these colors and particles at a glance?
Hosbei had always remembered this little game between them, and his gaze moved softly to Ilan, and her eyes were rolling in the lamp, staring at him, her face full of longing for evaluation.
"Why don't you eat it?" Ilan asked, puzzled, this was something she had spent an afternoon doing, and she was all about to move forward with Hoth. (To be continued......)
