Half an hour later, Gu Qing put the pig's trotters into the casserole, poured in water, and began to stew them.

After the water boiled and the heat was adjusted, he left the kitchen.

Upon seeing Gu Qing's appearance, Su Xiyue, who was lying on the sofa looking at her phone, quickly got up, picked up a glass of water, and said:

"You've worked hard, are you tired? How about I give you a massage while you lie down?"

“It hasn’t reached that point yet.”

Gu Qing took the water, took a sip, and then put it down.

Considering the need to keep an eye on the braised pig's trotters in the kitchen, Gu Qing didn't return to the bedroom but instead sat back on the sofa.

Seeing this, Su Xiyue quickly sat down next to Gu Qing, taking the opportunity to admire the pair of fair and tender legs that the young man revealed after changing into shorts at home.

In fact, the girl's legs were also quite good, straight, long, and smooth with fair skin.

Gu Qing glanced down at it, then took out her phone to distract herself.

138. A world for two

"Gu Qing, do you want your nails trimmed?"

The girl held nail clippers in her hand, looking at Gu Qing with eager anticipation in her eyes.

Gu Qing glanced at her fingernails, which she trimmed frequently because she had to prepare dinner every day.

"unnecessary."

Gu Qing shook her head.

But Su Xiyue did not give up. Instead, she looked down at Gu Qing's small feet in her white socks.

What about your toenails?

Su Xiyue blinked.

Gu Qing sighed softly. He knew that the girl wanted to play with his toes again.

Although Gu Qing couldn't comment on this fetish, as the one being played with, Gu Qing did have a conflicted feeling of wanting it but not wanting it.

There is a sense of smug satisfaction, and a psychological barrier of shame.

I felt both happy and helpless.

"Let's cut your feet after you've washed them!"

Gu Qing shook his head, unsure whether he was indulging the girl or indulging himself.

But undeniably, he doesn't reject it.

"Okay, let's wash our feet after we finish eating!"

Su Xiyue happily put away the nail clippers.

She had already understood the underlying meaning in Gu Qing's words.

With the long-term companionship, she could clearly feel that the distance between her and Gu Qing was gradually closing.

Gu Qing is undoubtedly a person who is cold on the outside but warm on the inside, and gentle on the outside but strong on the inside.

Only when you gradually open his heart and enter his inner world can you truly appreciate the unparalleled inner beauty of this handsome young man.

That is precisely why Gu Qing must not be let go.

Hold it tightly in your hand, cherish it dearly in your heart.

……

Cooking and eating for one is a means of survival.

But if it's two people, then it's life.

Gu Qing had lived alone for a long time in her previous life, and she ate simply to fill her stomach.

Now, all you have to do is turn around and you can see a girl lying on the sofa playing on her phone.

Those long, white legs were placed on the coffee table, and if the sunlight was tilted at the right angle, you could even see the reflection.

Sometimes, when Gu Qing turned around, the girl would seem to sense his presence and look back at him.

Their eyes would meet in mid-air.

It doesn't necessarily have to spark a flame; it could also be just ripples on the water.

The aroma of stewed pig's trotters gradually wafted from the kitchen.

At this moment, the girl couldn't contain herself and quietly moved closer to Gu Qing.

Although she didn't drool while looking at the stewed meat in the casserole, her eyes betrayed her.

Gu Qing would pick out a piece, whether to taste the saltiness or to check if it was soft or mushy.

In short, he would put the meat to the girl's mouth.

The girl chewed while burning her mouth, and after swallowing, she never forgot to praise Gu Qing a couple of times before Gu Qing kicked her out.

Gu Qing pondered that if one day the girl became the head chef of the family, she would probably be able to feed herself before the dishes were even served.

Gu Qing couldn't help but laugh when he thought of that scene.

Time passed in such a scene.

After the sun sets, the main light in the living room illuminates the room.

After Gu Qing prepared the chili sauce, he announced that it was time for dinner.

"Gu Qing, can I take a picture and post it on my WeChat Moments?"

Before the meal was officially served, Su Xiyue took out her phone.

She knew that Gu Qing didn't like taking photos and almost never posted them on social media, so she tried to minimize similar behavior as well.

But just now, those guys in the dorm were having a barbecue outside, and their words were full of provocation.

"of course can."

As Gu Qing spoke, she neatly arranged the tableware on the table to make it easier for the girl to take photos.

Having worked as a journalist, Gu Qing is very good at looking good on camera.

But later, Gu Qing gradually grew to hate the camera.

Because he was a war correspondent, being on camera meant the outbreak of war and also meant being close to danger.

Su Xiyue took a few pictures of the dishes on the table. She knew Gu Qing didn't like taking pictures, so she took them cautiously, without any trace of Gu Qing in them.

After posting a message on her WeChat Moments in response, Su Xiyue put down her phone.

"Let's eat! The smell of food was so tempting!"

"Then eat quickly."

With a slight smile, Gu Qing placed a piece of pork trotter, full of collagen, into the girl's bowl.

As a chef, seeing people enjoying their meals brings a genuine sense of satisfaction.

The pig's trotters absorbed the juices perfectly and were stewed for a sufficient amount of time, resulting in them being very tender.

This is roughly what is meant by "melts in your mouth".

Su Xiyue has a strong palate. Although the regular stewed pig's trotters are already salty, fragrant, and tender enough, she always dips them in Gu Qing's special chili sauce to enhance the flavor.

So much so that his mouth was greasy from eating, and his lips looked like fiery red lips.

"Don't just eat, remember to drink the soup too."

Gu Qing offered a word of advice.

"Good good!"

The girl nodded, swallowed the food in her mouth, and then picked up the soup that had gone cold.

Feeling about 70% full, Gu Qing put down her chopsticks at the opportune moment.

But he did not leave the table. Instead, he rested one hand on the table, supporting his cheek with his palm, and watched the girl eat.

Thinking back to my past life, my mother would always prepare two meals a day for the whole family.

Gu Qing always thought that would be very tiring.

In fact, it is tiring, but not boring; on the contrary, it is full of fun.

When people feel needed, they gain psychological satisfaction and thus feel happy.

Although he has lived two lives, Gu Qing has only just come to understand many seemingly simple truths.

Some things you can never truly understand unless you experience them firsthand.

After eating, take a short rest.

Su Xiyue conscientiously cleaned up the dining table and washed the dishes.

After placing all the tableware in order, Su Xiyue clapped her hands and walked out of the kitchen.
