Chapter 75

Yi Feng feigned sadness, “Gu Muxi, how could you be so heartless?”

Gu Muxi rolled her eyes at him, “Cut it out. If you’re hungry, find something to eat yourself. My parents left some food for you; just heat it up.”

Yi Feng chuckled, knowing Gu Muxi would soften.

“Alright, then I’ll eat at your place.”

The two went upstairs together and entered Gu Muxi’s home, only to find her parents were not at home.

“Where are Uncle and Auntie?” Yi Feng looked around and asked.

“They said they were visiting the hospital and would be back later,” Gu Muxi replied casually.

“Then I’ll go heat up the dishes.” Yi Feng headed to the kitchen to take matters into his own hands.

In the kitchen, Yi Feng reheated the left-over dishes and noticed half a pumpkin in the cabinet. He decided to make pumpkin porridge to warm the body and stomach.

He skillfully peeled and shredded the pumpkin, adding it to the pot to cook with the porridge.

Having learned to cook many household dishes since junior high, and after getting married in his previous life, he was mainly responsible for cooking, striving to satisfy Lu Yao’s taste. This was not an easy mission but it honed his culinary skills.

Cooking pumpkin porridge might seem simple, but it actually requires a lot of knowledge, especially in controlling the heat and the doneness of the rice and pumpkin.

If undercooked, the pumpkin would taste raw; if overcooked, it would lose its unique fragrance and sweetness.

A perfect pot of pumpkin porridge should have a thick, fragrant texture, allowing one to enjoy the taste and sweetness of the pumpkin, leaving a lingering fragrance and a warm feeling throughout the body.

Yi Feng adjusted the flame to medium and watched over the porridge, occasionally stirring it to check its doneness.

Half an hour later, Gu Muxi came out from her room and found Yi Feng still in the kitchen, curiously asking, “Yi Feng, what are you doing in there for so long? Haven’t you heated the dishes yet?”

She had just finished speaking when she smelled the fragrant scent of pumpkin, sniffing the air.

Hmm? That smells delicious!

What’s stinky Yi Feng cooking? It smells so good!

“It’s ready now.”

Yi Feng replied from the kitchen and then brought out a pot of pumpkin porridge, placing it on a trivet.

The pumpkin porridge was steaming, with its fragrant scent filling the room, making Gu Muxi salivate.

She hurried to the dining table, saw the pumpkin porridge, and its golden, thick appearance seemed very appetizing.

She leaned in to smell it, her eyes widening in surprise, “Hmm! That smells so good!”

“Yi Feng, I didn’t know you had such skills!”

Yi Feng brought out the reheated dishes: potato stir-fry with sliced meat and garlic stir-fried lettuce.

“Gu Muxi, there’s a lot you don’t know about me.”

He took bowls and chopsticks, deliberately serving himself a bowl of porridge and taking a delightful sip in front of her.

“Mmm, delicious.” Yi Feng was very satisfied with his cooking, praising himself.

Gu Muxi watched, her mouth watering, looking like a greedy cat.

“Yi Feng… could I also have a bowl?”

Yi Feng secretly laughed but maintained a serious face, “It’s not impossible, but you have to agree to a condition.”

“What condition?” Gu Muxi licked her tender, red lips and asked.

“Later, help me massage my head again, 20 minutes, and it has to meet my standards!”

“Hmph~ No way!” Gu Muxi turned her head away.

Yi Feng took another sip of the pumpkin porridge, clicking his tongue, “So delicious, some people would love some of this stuff.”

“Damn it! 10 minutes!”

“Deal.”

Upon hearing this, Gu Muxi felt like grabbing a bowl and spoon for herself, quickly sitting next to Yi Feng to start eating.

She spooned a mouthful of pumpkin porridge, blew on it, and tasted the creamy rice mixed with distinct pumpkin pieces, melting softly on her tongue, enveloping it with the pumpkin’s fragrance.

She showed a hint of surprise, “Tasty!”

She quickly finished a large bowl of pumpkin porridge in a few minutes.

After finishing one bowl, she still looked longingly at the pot.

Yi Feng, with a doting expression, said, “If you want more, just eat. I can’t eat that much.”

“Yay! Good!” Gu Muxi waited for this response and served herself another bowl.

The two sat at the dining table, enjoying the porridge without speaking.

Yi Feng stopped eating when he was half-full, as eating too much at night might lead to insomnia.

He turned to look at Gu Muxi, her flowing hair falling over her shoulders, partially hiding her profile, adding a mysterious allure.

Below the table, her long legs swung gently, her joy at the delicious food undeniable.

Yi Feng smiled, finding Gu Muxi truly adorable.

Suddenly feeling Yi Feng’s gaze, Gu Muxi turned and glanced at him.

“What are you looking at?”

“Nothing, just looking at my girlfriend.”
