Sunlight shines through the dense layers of foliage, and the ground is covered with sparkling spots the size of copper coins. The vegetation is flourishing, the leaves of the holly tree are shiny and shiny, and the branches and leaves of the elm tree are verdant and luxuriant, supporting a thick green shade for people. In addition to the irritating sound of cicadas, the scenery in the garden is beautiful.

Aftertaste Wandering around in the silent garden in such a hot day, it's not that he doesn't feel hot, but he can't do it.

"Su Miao! Su Miao! He called everywhere as if he was looking for a missing puppy, because this feeling was too obvious, and Su Yan, who followed him, also felt awkward.

"Don't shout like that, okay, I don't know, I think your dog was lost!" He drooped his eyelids and grunted in displeasure.

"What's the difference between that and losing a dog?" Aftertaste hard said.

"You scolded the second sister for being a dog, I'm going to tell her!" Su Yan was even more unhappy, straightened his neck and said loudly.

"You go back to study for me!" Aftertaste put on the shelf and coldly reprimanded.

"Why should I listen to you?" Su Yan's eyes were full of unconvinced.

Aftertaste stared at him for a moment, word by word, and scolded again:

"Go back, go to school!"

Su Yan looked at him directly for a while, then raised his eyebrows, snorted from his nose, twisted his waist, and walked away in a huff.

Sent Su Yan away, and aftertaste continued to look for Su Miao in the garden who suddenly disappeared inexplicably. He searched all the way under the trees, under the flowers, in the grass, and in the rockery, and found no trace of Su Miao from morning to noon.

Because the game is coming to an end. The other contestants have long since returned to their hometowns, and those who have moved out. Therefore, at this time, the harmony garden is very quiet, and there are almost no people in sight. The aftertaste was found in the garden for most of the day. Still didn't find Su Miao, the porter said that Su Miao didn't go out, she must still be in the Yuanrong Garden, but where did she hide, when she thought of this, she felt angry in the aftertaste, and because she didn't even eat to find her, he was really hungry in his stomach, so he was even more angry.

Su Miao couldn't be found in the garden, and she wondered if she would have gone back to her room. So he returned to Jichunzhai non-stop and broke into Su Miao's room.

After the room was reassigned, now Su Miao lived alone in the main room, and she pushed the door in after reminiscing, and then the corners of her mouth twitched fiercely-

The room was a mess, with clothes all over the bed, stools and tables thrown around, books and papers piled up on the table, all kinds of half-eaten snacks, materials for practicing knife skills, and all kinds of vegetables.

In addition to being able to strictly observe the cleanliness of the kitchen in other places. She has always been freewheeled, so the consequence of doing what she wants is that everything is mixed up and scattered in all corners of the room, and when she tries to find something, she can't even find it herself.

In the past, such a cluttered room would not have lasted for a second. But it was not the first day he had known Su Miao, and he had long been immune to such a mess, so he bent down resignedly. Start cleaning in empty rooms. Pick up the clothes, shoes and socks scattered all over the place one after another, and when you pick them up next to the bed. There was a stack of handkerchiefs on the ground that he didn't know if he had washed or not, and he sighed speechlessly. Bending over, just about to pick it up, his eyes inadvertently swept under the bed, but he was surprised to see a pair of big black eyes staring directly at him under the bed!

The calm style of painting suddenly became a terrifying style of painting, Rao is aftertaste of how bold he was and was taken aback, and he sighed in his heart, subconsciously took half a step back, and even his hair stood up!

Fortunately, he is generally still a relatively calm person, he calmed down, regained his ability to think, he thought for a moment, and then the corners of his eyebrows twitched fiercely, bent down again, lifted the half-covered sheets, revealing the narrow bottom of the bed, he looked at the pair of big black eyes speechlessly, and asked with a smile:

"What are you doing under the bed?" No wonder he didn't find her all morning, it turned out that this thing was hiding under the bed!

Su Miao looked straight at him with a pair of big black eyes, and didn't speak.

"What are you doing?" He was speechless, the corners of his eyebrows twitched sharply, and he asked again.

"Qing Xiu." This time Su Miao finally answered, she lay on her side under the bed and made a shrimp shape, staring straight into his eyes, and replied slowly and calmly.

"......" aftertaste didn't know what to say anymore, "Come out, it's dirty under the bed!" He frowned and reached out to pull her.

"I'm going to take a nap under the bed, don't disturb me!" Su Miao didn't allow him to touch it, turned over lazily, turned his back to him, and said categorically.

"......" reminisced that communicating with her in this state was definitely like a chicken and duck, squatting on the ground, staring at her back, and after a while, suddenly got in, squeezed her to a deeper position, and would lie flat under the narrow bed, the dust and crampedness made him almost lose his breath.

However, in the face of such a "sacrifice" from him, Su Miao was still full of dissatisfaction, and the aftertaste suddenly came in and startled her, and she was forced to stick to the wall in the bed, and was almost squeezed by him, she was quite unhappy, and arched her ass hard on him, expelling him:

"What are you doing in here? Get out! This is my place! ”

"Don't you think this place is pitiful to put something your size in such a narrow place?" Aftertaste lay flat under the bed, staring at the bed board that could be swept by eyelashes in the blink of an eye, and said coolly.

"I'm not a thing!" Su Miao turned her head sideways and glared at him hatefully.

Aftertaste smiled.

Su Miao didn't laugh because of the ambiguity of the words, but pouted a mouth, turned her back to him, and slammed the wall with her fingers.

The two were silent for a moment, then glanced sideways at her and poked at her.

Su Miao twisted her body unhappily.

The aftertaste poked her again.

Su Miao twisted her body again.

Aftertaste stretched out her hand to stab her again, but before her fingers touched her back, she reflexively twisted her body first.

I smiled with a smile.

Su Miao became more and more angry, twisted her body, and pressed closer to the wall in the bed. Stay away from him and continue to smash at the wall.

The smile on the corner of the lips has not faded. Staring at her back with a smile on his face, he asked unhurriedly:

"Three days later it's the final round. This time is also the last round of the finals in the Qin'an Division, have you figured out what to use to win? ”

Su Miao was silent for a while, and twisted her body more and more unhappily:

"Are you the father of the child urging the child to do homework, there are still three days, what are you anxious about!"

"It's not because I'm worried that you'll be lazy under the pretext of 'malaise' for the past three days."

Su Miao became angry when she heard this, and her resistance came up, her back to him, and she said stiffly:

"You care about me!"

Aftertaste didn't care about her anger and smiled faintly. Say, "How?" It is the first time in my life to participate in such a grand event, and I have all the way to the finals, and I have seen many cooking masters in Qin'an Province, and I have won and lost, but what are the novel gains or ideas that I have never had before? ”

"Nope." Su Miao was lazy, as if she was angry, and replied with two words.

Aftertaste smiled.

The two of them lay flat and the other on their sides, under the cramped bed.

After a long silence. He spoke suddenly, with a smile in his face, and said softly:

"Do you know why I wanted you to come to the race?"

"Don't you just want to see where I can go with my craft?" Su Miao slammed at the wall and replied nonchalantly.

"Maybe. This is just one of the reasons. Aftertaste said with a smile.

"Do you want me to see more of Yue Liangguo's capable hands?"

"That's one, but there's another reason." Aftertaste said with a smile.

Su Miao replied that both were wrong in a row, and at this time her curiosity had been aroused by his words. After a pause, he turned around. The fox stared at his face suspiciously, and asked with a grunt:

"What else?"

The aftertaste is still lying flat. His physique could only lie flat under this bed, and when he heard the question, he turned his head to look at her, smiled, and said softly:

"At the beginning, I lost to my second brother in the King Chef Competition, and then because of some small reasons, all kinds of pressure superimposed into a huge setback, and I once began to dislike the profession of cooks, and even left Liang to find another pure land, and then you know, it took a long, long time to establish the current state."

"You don't want me to avenge you because you lost before, right?" Su Miao stared at his side face and said suspiciously.

"It's not." The aftertaste is categorically negative.

Su Miao nodded, although the relationship between the two of them was very good, she would not come to participate in such a boring competition with the reason of "revenge".

"Since you and I met, you have always been like the sun, bright and dazzling, no matter how tricky and bumpy you face, you can face it with a smile, the kind of life attitude that is brighter than the sun is not what I do not have, I yearn for it and I like it very much......"

"Don't praise me at this time, just after losing, even if you praise me, I can't be moved, and my emotions are not in a state." Su Miao stared at his radiant face and said very flatly.

"I didn't want to praise you." Aftertaste said to her seriously.

"Oh." Su Miao flattened her face and nodded lightly.

"One of the biggest reasons why I want you to participate in this competition is that I want to see what kind of mentality you will have when you face a major defeat that is enough to crush you, whether you will collapse like an ordinary person, or miraculously and quickly come back together." Aftertaste said to her with a smile.

Su Miao looked at him with a tense face, to be precise, he looked at him with a wooden face, his lips moved, but he was speechless, and after a long while, he asked him in an incredible tone:

"Are you really my husband, or my enemy?"

"I'm your husband, yes." Aftertaste replied with a smile in an affirmative tone.

"Why do I think you're my enemy?" Su Miao stared at him straight and said firmly.

"This is not important, you can put it aside for now, the important thing is that now you have suffered a three-game losing streak, three consecutive defeats for a person who has always been proud and complacent of himself, it is definitely a major defeat enough to crush people, and now such a defeat is in front of you, Miao'er, what will you do, will you collapse like an ordinary person, or will you miraculously and quickly pick yourself up?" He stared at her with a smile on his lips, he wasn't afraid that such a blunt and provocative remark would anger her, or that he didn't care if such a provocative remark would anger her.

Su Miao flattened her face, stared at him directly, and watched.

Aftertaste looked back at her calmly and smiled.

After a long time, her tense face suddenly relaxed, she snorted a short smile, looked at him, and said loudly:

"A major defeat that is enough to crush a person? Laughing to death, you and I have never lost, I have lost more times than you have won, not to mention three consecutive defeats, I have lost six times in a row, what is a mere three consecutive defeats! ”

"This ...... It's not something to brag about. There was a big bead of sweat hanging on the corner of his forehead, and he couldn't help but laugh.

Su Miao wrinkled her nose, turned her head, and stopped talking.

The two of them lay side by side under the bed, and after a while, Su Miao's stomach suddenly made a muffled "grunt", which was especially loud in the quiet room.

She smiled at the aftertaste, of course she would be hungry if she hadn't eaten at noon in the morning, so she reached into her arms, took out a tightly folded oiled paper bag, and handed it to her.

"What is this?" Su Miao asked suspiciously, and quickly opened it, and the contents made her stunned for a moment, "Meat sandwich buns?" "I haven't eaten meat buns for many years, and Su Miao has rarely made this kind of snack since the Su Ji snack stall closed.

"After I came to Su's house, the first thing I learned to eat was meat buns." Aftertaste said with a smile.

Su Miao was stunned, stared at the meat bun in her hand for a while, and slowly took a bite, the cake was crispy and fragrant, refreshing but not greasy, rich and mellow.

"It's delicious." Su Miao smiled and narrowed her eyes and said happily.

"I think it's delicious, too." Aftertaste said with a faint smile.

"It's delicious."

"But it's still not as good as what you can do." Aftertaste followed by a calm voice that said a fact.

Su Miao was stunned.

Aftertaste turned his head sideways, looked at her with a blank eye, and smiled:

"Even if it's exactly the same dish, it's always different from what you make in your hands and what other people make in your hands, no matter what method you use to get closer to you, it's always not you, and the dishes you make will always have a pleasant taste, bright, hearty, and splendid, this is your style."

Su Miao was stunned for a moment, staring at him blankly, and after a while, she laughed loudly.

The two fell silent again, and after a while, Aftertaste asked softly again:

"In the final round, have you figured out how to win?"

"Nope." Su Miao replied dryly.

Although her answer was so unreliable, she didn't say anything in the aftertaste, and there was no urgency or anxiety between her eyebrows.

Su Miao ate the meat bun slowly and methodically.

Until a meat bun was eaten up, she rejoiced, clapped her hands, and smiled:

"But there's always a way!" (To be continued.) )
