Huo Chen pushed the shopping cart as she slowly filled it up.
He would make the occasional contribution to the shopping cart. Lu Zhaoyang noticed that they were all her favourite.
He still remembered after all this time.
They left the mall with two big bags of groceries.
Lu Zhaoyang’s bag was very light, and she had only gotten it by insisting to help Huo Chen.


She wanted to share the burden despite how little she could do.
Back at the cottage, Lu Zhaoyang unpacked the other items while Huo Chen brought the fresh vegetables and meat to the kitchen.
She watched him from the sofa and joked,
Don’t push yourself, alright? There won’t be any dinner if the kitchen is burnt down.

Huo Chen stored the extra ingredients into the fridge and smile.
Come help me, then!


Oh, but I’m feeling a little tired now. How about this, I’ll check out your skills first before I decide whether you need help!

She continued to organize the other domestic appliances they had bought, and then heard Huo Chen’s quiet chuckle from the kitchen.
Lu Zhaoyang browsed through the things they had bought and realized that she had no source of income now. When things settled down, she would find a job here and stay occupied.
She found the prospect of not having a job boring.
After Lu Zhaoyang was done, she went to the kitchen and saw a plate of sweet and sour ribs. It was hard to imagine that Huo Chen prepared the dish.
He was the real deal. The color and smell of the ribs tantalized her.


Huo Chen wore a blue apron over his white shirt while he cooked. Right now, he was stir-frying Sichuan spicy prawns in a wok.
A man who is earnest is a handsome man, but a man who can cook is pretty dmn hot.
She wanted to try the ribs straight away but stopped herself.
I’ll wait for you to have this together.


You should try it now and let me know if I’m good enough to serve as your personal chef.

Huo Chen turned off the stove and watched her practically drooling over his dish. His gentle gaze was reserved only for her.

Since you’re so sincere, then… don’t mind if I do!

She picked up a pair of chopsticks and chose the largest piece.
The man beside her watched her lovingly, just as he did a long time ago.
They were a couple back then, but now, she felt a little embarrassed by the attention.

How is it?




It’s good! Wonderful! You’re even better than a Michelin star chef!
She praised in amazement.

Have some more.
 She looks so thin. Just look at her face.


Captain Huo, if I may ask, were you doubling as a chef in the army?


You can hold multiple posts in the army, but I could do that now for you.

Having said that, it was true that he had learned to cook in the military just for her, so that he could cook all her favorite things after they were married.
To think he could finally cook for her now! However, they were not husband and wife, and not even a couple.
The thought made Huo Chen’s lips twitched bitterly.
Lu Zhaoyang started eating greedily, beginning with the ribs, but upon hearing Huo Chen’s words, she put the food back onto the plate and looked down quietly.

Is the spicy prawns done? I want to try that, you know I love prawns!

Lu Zhaoyang could only smile and switched the topic.


Their status now was indeed awkward.
