Chapter 270 Human Fireworks
Lu Zhou didn't expect that Xu Qiong said she wanted to treat him to a meal, but in the end she was going to cook for him herself at her home.
It is an upscale residential area located in the center of City B.
Xu Qiong bought a large flat of about 200 square meters here.
"I'm a bit confused today. I haven't decided whether I want to continue to live an ordinary life in the future!"
"Since you said it's best not to go to public places with you, then I'll cook for you."
In the elevator, Xu Qiong said to Lu Zhou with a smile.
"Can you still cook?"
“Average cooking, home-cooked taste.”
She said modestly, but before she could finish her words, the elevator made a soft 'ding' sound, indicating that they had arrived.
Xu Qiong's large flat has one elevator per household, which leads directly to her home's entrance.
When the elevator door opened, Lu Zhou saw that Xu Qiong's home was decorated in a festive atmosphere.
There are colorful balloons, ribbons, flowers, etc.
This is totally the decoration of a wedding room.
Seeing this, Xu Qiong seemed very calm.
She was the first to exit the elevator, and then took out a large garbage bag from the locker.
She didn't care about anything else. She just took down and tore up all the wedding photos hanging in the house and then threw them into the garbage bag.
During this process, Lu Zhou also heard her say.
"I just bought this house. Everything inside is new. It was originally intended to be used as a new house."
“What I want is to embrace the future with a brand new attitude.”
Without her saying anything, Lu Zhou could see that everything in the house was very new and no one had ever lived there.
After throwing away the garbage, Xu Qiong made a cup of tea for Lu Zhou and asked him to sit on the sofa for a while.
She said to Lu Zhou.
“I’ll be fine soon.”
While saying this, she had already put on an apron, opened the refrigerator, and took out some ingredients from the refrigerator.
These were prepared by the housekeeper for her yesterday when she was on a business trip.
"Let me help you!"
Lu Zhou suddenly became interested and decided to help.
He hadn't cooked with modern kitchen utensils for a long time, so he became interested and wanted to give it a try again!
"Can you still cook?"
This also slightly surprising sentence was uttered from Lu Zhou's mouth not long ago, but now it came out of Xu Qiong's mouth again.
It’s just obvious that compared to Lu Zhou, Xu Qiong is more surprised now.
Because no matter how she looked at Lu Zhou, she couldn't see that he was someone who could cook.
In her opinion, a god-like person like Lu Zhou could create a lot of delicious food with just a wave of his hand!
"Don't underestimate me. Before I became a monk, I often cooked."
Lu Zhou can indeed cook. Children from poor families have to grow up early!
As he spoke, he was ready to roll up his sleeves and prove with practical actions that he really could cook. Not only could he cook, but he could also cook many delicious dishes.
"That's great! Let's do it together."
Seeing him like this, Xu Qiong smiled, and two dimples appeared on her cheeks which were full of collagen.
But then, I heard her say again.
"But... wouldn't it be a bit inconvenient for you to wear this outfit? Would you like to change into some home clothes first? I have some prepared here. They are new, washed, and no one has worn them."
Lu Zhou was now wearing a wide-sleeved ancient brocade robe. Even though he had rolled up his sleeves, it was obvious that it was very inconvenient to cook in this outfit.
From Xu Qiong's current perspective, it was not only inconvenient, but also a bit weird and a bit wasteful.
Although she didn't know what precious clothes were, she could tell at a glance that the material of Lu Zhou's clothes was all very good.
She was worried that when she cooked later, the clothes that looked very good would be stained with oil.
As for the home clothes she mentioned, they were obviously prepared for her husband.
Now.
Given her personality, she would probably throw it away or donate it tomorrow.
Lu Zhou looked at his own clothes.
laughed:
“It does seem a bit out of place.”
Xu Qiong smiled, turned around and took Lu Zhou into a room. In the room, there was a small cloakroom filled with men's clothes.
It can be seen that those clothes are also brand new, and they should all be prepared by her for her husband.
She is not only kind, filial, but also virtuous.
It can be said that she truly possesses many of this nation's traditional virtues.
Looking at all this, Lu Zhou sighed secretly.
All this seems to confirm the words that are often mentioned by people.
'It's always hard for a good woman to meet a good man!'
'And it's always hard for a good man to meet a good woman!'
"You should change into this one. It's a little too small for your body size, but it's still okay!"
Soon, Xu Qiong found a set of home clothes and spoke to Lu Zhou.
"it is good!"
Lu Zhou smiled and nodded.
Xu Qiong walked out of the room.
Not long after, Xu Qiong, who was already busy in the kitchen, saw Lu Zhou, who had changed into casual clothes, also stepping into the kitchen.
It was the first time that Xu Qiong saw Lu Zhou dressed like this, and she was a little stunned.
"what happened?"
Lu Zhou's voice woke her up.
She said with a smile.
"It's okay, I just found that you look quite handsome in modern clothes. By the way, how about your hair?" She found that Lu Zhou's long hair was gone, and now he had changed to a hairstyle that suited him very well and was very fashionable.
"Oh, I also fixed my hair, otherwise I still look out of place."
As he spoke, he naturally took the apron that Xu Qiong handed to him and tied it around himself.
Next, the two people, each wearing a brand new apron, started working in the kitchen.
During this process, Lu Zhou did not use any means possessed by cultivators.
He really regarded himself as an ordinary person, experiencing the long-lost mortal world.
Even though he hasn't used modern kitchen utensils and ingredients to cook for many years.
But Lu Zhou got the hang of it quickly, whether it was his knife skills or the way he flipped the pan when cooking, he looked extremely skilled.
At this moment, he really looks like a househusband.
It was originally agreed that Xu Qiong would personally prepare a meal to entertain and thank Lu Zhou.
As a result, Lu Zhou gradually became the protagonist.
Xu Qiong was cooperating with him, helping him by washing vegetables, picking vegetables, passing plates, etc.
If others saw this scene, they would definitely feel the warmth of home.
Looking at Lu Zhou, who was busy in front of the stove, holding a spatula in his right hand and occasionally tossing the pot back and forth with his left hand, and smelling the aroma of food that poured into her nose, Xu Qiong was once again a little dazed.
Unconsciously, her eyes began to become a little blurry, and a little mist rose up, blurring her vision.
The scene before her made her feel a little emotional.
She didn't know how many times she had imagined and dreamed about this scene.
She had dreamed more than once that in the future she would find a husband who would love her, care for her, and spoil her like a child.
After get off work, they would go shopping for ingredients together and cook together at home.
She also fantasized that they would laugh and play while cooking, and she would eat secretly, pick up a piece of delicious food with her fingers and pass it to her husband's mouth, and talk to her husband with eyes full of him and a smile on her face.
"what"
She even fantasized that after they had dinner, she would be washing pots and dishes in the kitchen while her husband would hug her from behind.
She would pretend to be disgusted and scold him, asking him to go away and not disturb her while she was working.
Then they would hold hands, go downstairs together, stroll under the neon lights and starlight, take a walk to digest the food and relieve their fatigue of the whole day.
When it's time to fall asleep, she'll have a warm, human-shaped pillow that she can cuddle with all the time.
She had many aspirations, including her future family of two, which would gradually become a family of three or four.
She will give birth to children for her husband, and they will have a pair of beautiful, handsome and occasionally a little naughty little angels.
During their vacations, they would take their two children out for an outing, breathe the fresh air, feel the warmth of the sun, close their eyes, open their arms, and welcome the breeze that smells like grass and flowers.
She really had many aspirations.
But now, she thought she had chosen the right person, but it turned out to be a huge joke.
“It’s time to eat.”
Lu Zhou's voice, always as gentle as a ray of warm sunshine, woke up Xu Qiong who was in a daze, and seemed to give her strength.
She wiped her eyes with the back of her hand in a panic.
She didn't know that although Lu Zhou had his back to her the whole time, she would be in a daze from time to time, and her eyes would be misty. How could Lu Zhou not notice it?
Lu Zhou could understand why she was like this.
But he was not good at comforting people.
At this moment, nothing you say to Xu Qiong will be good.
Lu Zhou could only pretend that he noticed nothing.
"Okay, I'll go get the food."
Looking at Lu Zhou's back, Xu Qiong responded with a smile.
Soon, three dishes and a soup were placed on the table.
They are all very homely dishes, including braised pork ribs, cola chicken wings, stir-fried seasonal vegetables, and a bowl of tomato egg soup!
Although these dishes are very homely, they are delicious and tasty.
"You are from Sichuan, right?"
Xu Qiong recognized it from the braised pork ribs, which contained a lot of red peppers, as well as some Sichuan peppercorns and other ingredients. It gave people a spicy and fragrant feeling at first glance!
"Yes!"
Lu Zhou nodded.
“(╯▽╰) It smells so good~~, I never thought you could actually cook.”
"Will you drink with me?"
Xu Qiong shook the glass and wine in her hand.
It's white, not red.
Lu Zhou saw her intention.
He smiled and nodded.
In the end, it turned out just as he expected.
At first Xu Qiong was fine. She could chat with Lu Zhou while eating and praised Lu Zhou's cooking skills.
Gradually, a blush began to appear on her fair cheeks. She drank one cup after another and her topic began to go off-key.
Her eyes were blurry with drunkenness, she blew into the bottle, her tongue stuck out, and she had a strong desire to talk.
Gradually, she started crying again, sometimes crying and sometimes laughing.
Her tears and wine ruined her makeup and stained her clothes.
Lu Zhou did not stop her from drinking, nor did he interrupt her desire to talk.
Maybe getting drunk is suitable for her now.
Lu Zhou quietly became her listener, listening to some of the future she had longed for.
Listening to her say that the future she had been looking forward to was shattered and her dream was over!
She was very sad, just because some of the beautiful things she had hoped for in the future were shattered, and because the fireworks she had hoped for were extinguished.
Finally, Xu Qiong leaned on Lu Zhou's shoulder and fell drunk.
Lu Zhou carried her into a room covered with a bright red wedding quilt. That should be the room she prepared for herself.
She liked this room very much because she had said when she was drunk just now that the huge floor-to-ceiling window of this room just faced a lakeside park.
She dreamed that when she woke up every morning, she would be able to look out through the huge floor-to-ceiling window and see the lakeside park with swaying willows and decorated with colorful flowers.
