"what is this?"

"Chicken stewed with mushrooms."

"What about this?"

"It says braised beef!"

"Didn't you say you were going to make braised pork?"

"The lake is..."

“Where are the chicken wings?”

"raw......"

Zhang Mingyang's head was filled with dark thoughts. He didn't know why he agreed to hand over the kitchen to Xu Duanran. She didn't let him in, so he really didn't.

He was watching TV alone in the living room. When he heard that he could eat, he came to the restaurant and only saw two buckets of instant noodles, and he didn't even have time to heat the water.

A bucket of "braised beef" and a bucket of "braised chicken with mushrooms".

"I cooked with Aunt Yan a few times. I thought it was quite simple. I thought I could do it by myself..." Xu Duanran's voice became softer and quieter until finally he couldn't hear it at all.

Zhang Mingyang smiled helplessly. He walked to the eldest lady, took the hot water bottle from her hand, put his hand into her long and silky hair and rubbed it.

“I’ll make some noodles later.”

He decided to see if he could salvage those two dishes.

As soon as he entered the kitchen, he smelled a strong smell of burnt pork. He first turned his attention to the stainless steel pot on the stove, which should be filled with braised pork.

Zhang Mingyang walked to the stove, and the eldest lady followed him with her head lowered like a child who had done something wrong.

While walking, she suddenly thought of something, ran back to the restaurant, picked up the apron that she had just put on the stool, and squeezed in front of Zhang Mingyang.

She helped the bad guy put on the apron, put her arms through his waist, and tied the two ties behind him.

After doing all this, she stood up on tiptoes and touched the bad guy's lips: "I'm sorry."

Since the relationship between the two changed, the eldest lady likes to act coquettishly in front of the bad guy more and more, and then observe the helpless expression on his face.

She gradually found that this was more interesting than bickering with him in the past.

"Okay, let me quickly see if this dish can be salvaged. If you stand in front of me again, will you eat tonight or eat you?"

He asked Xu Duanran to stand aside while he began to inspect the mess in the kitchen.

The first was the braised pork. Zhang Mingyang opened the lid of the pot, and not only was there no soup left inside, it was also so dark that it was hard to tell what it was.

It is conceivable that when Xu Duanran was busy handling the ingredients, he completely forgot that there was still meat stewed in the pot.

If this wasn't the first meal the eldest lady cooked alone, he would have thrown it away without even thinking about it.

Zhang Mingyang took out a pair of tachyons and rummaged around in the pot a few times. Don't look at the meat lake, but the tachyons couldn't even be inserted into the fat meat.

I picked up a piece and took a bite. Although the dish was overcooked, the seasoning was still good.

It seems that it’s not that Xu Duanran doesn’t know how to cook, it’s just that it’s the first time he’s alone with no one to help him, so he’s a little confused.

He took the braised pork out of the pot and removed the lake part, leaving the edible part.

"Bring the pressure cooker over and boil another pot of hot water." Zhang Mingyang ordered.

The eldest lady is very obedient and does whatever he says.

After finishing the braised pork, he stood in front of the oven and found uncooked chicken wings inside.

Only one side of the chicken wings was cooked, and the other side was still raw. Xu Duanran was afraid that the chicken wings would turn into braised pork in the pot, so he didn't dare to bake them again.

Zhang Mingyang thought it was a good idea that the chicken wings were undercooked. The oven was probably too old and could no longer be used.

Taking out the chicken wings, he and Xu Duanran wrapped the roasted side with tin foil and put it in the oven again.

Finally, tonight’s staple food is rice with a little water.

This is easier to handle, Zhang Mingyang can directly make it into egg fried rice.

After a while of busy work, the two of them finally stopped eating "braised beef" and "braised chicken with mushrooms" tonight.

After eating, they went to clean up the mess in the kitchen together.

When he lived alone, Xu Duanran never cooked. He either ate out or went to bad people's houses to eat.

This was the first time she discovered that even cooking and washing dishes in the kitchen was so interesting.

The interesting thing is not cooking, the interesting thing is that finally someone is looking forward to her and waiting to eat with her.

According to the normal plot development, Zhang Mingyang should eat the eldest lady after eating.

But real life is not just that kind of life, there are also daily chores.

Li Zhu hasn't come back yet, so the eldest lady needs to do many things herself, such as cleaning the clothes she recently wore.

"Do you have anything to wash? I'll wash it for you." When passing by the living room, Xu Duanran asked Zhang Mingyang who was watching TV.

He was not polite and went to find the dirty clothes he had just changed out of.

Xu Duanran and Zhang Mingyang went upstairs together.

Since yesterday, the room downstairs has been abandoned. Now Zhang Mingyang sleeps in Xu Duanran's room, and his things are kept here.

After he put away his dirty clothes, the eldest lady noticed the backpack he had thrown carelessly on the ground.

She lifted her backpack off the ground and asked, "Don't you want to wash this?"

Zhang Mingyang thought for a while, it seemed that his computer bag had not been washed for half a year, and it was still thrown everywhere by him every day. It was really hard to follow him.

"Then I'll trouble the little maid."

"You are the maid!" Although she denied it, she still walked up to the bad guy and took the initiative to help him collect his dirty clothes without any objection at all: "Go and take out the things in the bag."

"good."

Zhang Mingyang’s computer bag contains more than just computers. Because the backpack is very large, he usually stuffs everything into it.

The first was the laptop. After taking out the computer, charging cable, mouse and other things, he began to carefully examine each interlayer.

He found more than a dozen packs of tissues alone and several sticks of chewing gum.

Regardless of whether it was expired or not, he opened one and put it in his mouth, while also using the wrapping paper to fold a paper crane.

I continued to rummage through the mezzanine, feeling around, and suddenly I touched a hard object on the innermost mezzanine. It felt like a notepad.

Zhang Mingyang was a little confused. He couldn't remember when he had put such a thick notebook in his computer bag.

He opened the zipper and took the notebook out of the compartment.

This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! This is a very thick notepad that looks very old, and the white hard shell is even slightly yellowed.

Zhang Mingyang is absolutely certain that he has never seen this notebook before, it is not his, and he has no idea why this strange notebook appeared in his computer bag.

He subconsciously opened it, and every page inside was filled with handwriting, ranging from immature to mature.

There are photos posted every few pages, which is why the book is thick.

"Are you okay yet? I'm going downstairs." After finishing his clothes, Xu Duanran turned around and asked.

Zhang Mingyang stood in front of the table with his back to her, without saying a word.

Xu Duanran found that the bad guy seemed to be fascinated by something.

This kind of thing is very common. Sometimes I plan to clean up the room, but suddenly find a comic book that I liked in the past, and then the whole day passes like this.

Seeing that the bad guy ignored him, he quietly came up behind him, trying to scare him.

As she got closer, the first thing she saw was a paper crane folded with chewing gum wrappers on the table.

What? It turns out you still remember it.

"What are you looking at!"

It was originally intended to scare people, but when she saw what he was holding, the eldest lady herself was stunned.

She is very familiar with this notepad.

This is her diary, a notebook bought for her by her mother. Her mother told her that if she has anything she wants to say but is embarrassed to say, she can write it down and then hide it secretly.

It records the girl's thoughts from childhood to adulthood and is covered with photos.

There is only one person in the photo. Others call him Zhang Mingyang or Yangyang. She likes to call him a bad guy.

This was once the secret Xu Duanran didn't want others to see, but when everything was irreversible, she wanted him to know everything.

Later, the relationship between the two changed, and she was ready to seal the secret forever and let the past become the past, but she didn't expect it to appear here again unexpectedly.

The air became quiet for a moment, Zhang Mingyang turned his head, and both of them looked at each other blankly. They both thought that the other party had brought this diary with him on purpose.

They were silent for a long time before Zhang Mingyang suddenly came to his senses and took the lead in breaking the silence.

"I said I didn't put it there, and I didn't mean to look at it. Believe it or not." He carefully closed the notepad and put it on the dressing table, waiting for the eldest lady to deal with it.

If it had been before, Xu Duanran might have escaped long ago.

But the happiness in her heart gave her great strength.
