Chapter 60 Desserts Aren't Just for Girls

Jian Ning finished her jianbing guozi in seven or eight bites, while Xiao Li hadn't even eaten half of it.

As a chef, her biggest concern is...

"Is it tasty?"

Xiao Li nodded sincerely and said, "Mmm, it's delicious."

Chef Jian Ning smiled with satisfaction, her eyes crinkling. "I'm glad you think it's delicious."

After the two finished eating their jianbing (Chinese crepe), there were no trash cans nearby to dispose of the remaining garbage.

Jian Ning let the little Border Collie that had been following her along bite it, and then threw it home.

After all, she is a person of good manners and would never litter.

The little Border Collie shook its head in dissatisfaction.

"Aww~" I want to go on a date with you!

Jian Ning: "Stop talking nonsense and go throw out the trash."

The little Border Collie, chewing on the trash, angrily ran home, its steps faltering.

Xiao Li thoughtfully opened the passenger door for her.

Jian Ning didn't stand on ceremony with him and sat down.

Xiao Li walked around the back of the car, opened the driver's side door, and got in.

The car slowly moved forward.

There were only two people in the enclosed space of the vehicle.

Xiao Li could even smell a faint fragrance emanating from her.

His ears felt inexplicably hot, and he felt the atmosphere in the car was a little too quiet. He asked nervously, "Ningning, do you want to listen to some music?"

"Okay." Jian Ning noticed that he had trouble operating the car, so she tapped the car's screen and started playing music.

The music wasn't very loud; it consisted of currently popular ballads.

While waiting at the traffic light, Xiao Li took the initiative to ask, "Ningning, what have you been doing all this time?"

“I eat and sleep all day, sleep and eat,” Jian Ning replied, then asked, “What about you?”

Compared to Jian Ning's perfunctory and fabricated story, Xiao Li was much more serious.

"I went to the US on a business trip a while ago to meet with some business partners and discuss deals. I just returned to China last week and have been spending my days in meetings and working at the company. My life is rather dull and monotonous, and you probably won't be very interested in what I've said."

Jian Ning looked at him and said, "No, I want to hear it."

Xiao Li noticed her gaze, turned his head to look at her, and their eyes met.

In just a second, Xiao Li turned around.

He began to stammer about some things related to his work.

Jian Ning would respond from time to time, and occasionally even offer a comment.

"Wow, this is so complicated."

"You can't even do this?"

"Xiao Li, you are truly remarkable."

The two chatted happily all the way to the farm's parking lot.

Seeing Jian Ning unbuckling her seatbelt, Xiao Li quickly said, "Wait for me."

He quickly got out of the car, went around to the other side, opened the car door, and then used his hand to shield the roof to prevent her from hitting her head.

Jian Ning got out of the car, looked up at him, and praised, "Xiao Li, you are so thoughtful."

Xiao Li looked shy. "It's what I should do."

He didn't really know how to interact with girls, so he could only try to be as polite as possible.

The farm owner, who had been waiting there, came forward and greeted them, "Mr. Xiao, Ms. Jian, hello. I'll take you to the farm next and introduce you to the activities you can experience. Here you can enjoy picking organic vegetables, flower arranging, feeding alpacas, leisurely fishing, fruit picking, and lawn sports..."

The manager rattled off a list of attractions, but Jian Ning listened in one ear and let it go in the other.

Xiao Li asked her, "Ningning, is there anything you particularly want to do?"

Jian Ning glanced at the sky and said, "Since we're already here, let's do them all."

Xiao Li smiled and said softly, "Okay, then I'll go with you."

What should have been a relaxing day at the farm turned into a special forces-themed adventure for two people.

The farm will provide a visitor's guide.

Two people can experience one activity and check the box for each.

Some projects can be played for a long time, while others are played quickly.

For example, fishing is no challenge for Jian Ning at all.

Other people have been sitting next to him for half an hour and haven't caught a single fish.

Jian Ning gets it as soon as she casts the hook, and she gets it as soon as she casts it.

This attracted many people to look at her, and a few even moved to her side, thinking that she had a lot of fish.

The farm will provide a stove, but you'll have to cook your own lunch, and these fish can be used as ingredients for it.

But Jian Ning caught too many fish, so she pulled Xiao Li along, carrying a full bucket of fish, and kindly walked past each of the fishermen who had caught nothing.

"Do you want some fish? We've caught too many."

"Do you want it?"

"Brother, do you want some fish?"

The air force officer was so angry he rolled his eyes, while his wife sitting next to him was overjoyed.

She caught a fish; she could eat fish at noon, so she quickly scooped one up.

"Thank you, young lady, you are beautiful inside and out." Jian Ning was very happy to be praised. In the end, she only kept one sea bass, which she handed over to the farm to clean and prepare for lunch.

After fishing, the two of them went to feed the alpacas.

Several alpacas rushed over to snatch the carrot from Jian Ning's hand.

Xiao Li, a tall man, was holding a carrot. The space in front of him was empty, making him look particularly lonely.

Jian Ning was selecting her troops, and she pointed to a sheep, ordering it, "You're the one. Go eat his carrots."

"It's alright, Ningning, as long as you're happy feeding them." Xiao Li tried to save face; he had never been fond of animals since childhood and was used to it.

The next second, the sheep ran over and started munching on the carrot in Xiao Li's hand.

Xiao Li pursed his lips, but he was actually extremely happy inside.

When it was time to cook lunch, Jian Ning was the head chef, and Xiao Li was in charge of assisting.

A steamed sea bass, a stir-fried cabbage, and a delicious country-style dish that goes perfectly with rice. Finally, Jian Ning also made a loofah and egg soup.

The stoves in the farmhouse aren't gas stoves; they're the kind that burn firewood.

Jian Ning used the large pot with great ease.

Xiao Li was watching the firewood from below, and the smoke made him choke.

Fortunately, an hour later, the two were finally able to eat.

After a whole morning of special forces check-in routines, Jian Ning was starving. She picked up her bowl and said, "Let's eat."

They couldn't wait to start eating.

Xiao Li picked up his chopsticks, looked at Jian Ning across from him, and couldn't help but laugh out loud.

Jian Ning looked up at him. "What are you laughing at?"

Xiao Li honestly said, "I just feel that watching you eat makes me especially hungry."

Previously, the Xie family and his mother wanted to match him up with Xie Weiwei.

He knew all along that his marriage was not his own choice, and that an arranged marriage was perfectly normal.

He would ask Xie Weiwei out to dinner every week, but Xie Weiwei would only eat a couple of bites each time, saying she was on a diet. He would then feel embarrassed to eat more and would go home hungry, asking Wang Ma to cook him another bowl of noodles.

Jian Ning thought he was mocking her eating habits, and said irritably, "Just eat already!"

She was really starving to death.

After lunch, the two embarked on their afternoon "special forces" adventure, determined to experience every activity at the farm.

After all, once Jian Ning learned that the farm charged 888 yuan per person, she felt she would be missing out if she didn't experience it at least once.

There was a gathering at the farm at four o'clock in the afternoon.

Jian Ning then dragged Xiao Li along to join in the fun.

There was fruit and cake at the party.

Jian Ning picked up a small cake and handed it to Xiao Li: "Do you want some?"

Xiao Li looked at the cake and subconsciously swallowed, but quickly concealed the burning desire for the sweets in his eyes.

"I... I don't like it. My mom thinks desserts are something only girls like to eat."

"Okay." Jian Ning didn't force him anymore, picked up her spoon and started eating by herself.

After enjoying the lively atmosphere of the party, the two decided to leave.

When she left, Jian Ning was carrying a paper bag.

Xiao Li assumed it was a souvenir or something from the farm.

He drove her home, playing sentimental songs the whole way.

Xiao Li tightened his grip on the steering wheel and asked her, "Ningning, are you free tomorrow?"

Jian Ning shook her head, her face immediately filled with worry: "Tomorrow won't work. I've run into some trouble that I need to deal with."

Xiao Li frowned and asked with concern, "What's wrong? Do you need my help?"

"No need," Jian Ning waved her hand. "It's a small matter; I can handle it myself."

Seeing that the other party didn't want to talk, Xiao Li didn't ask any more questions.

Anyway, in Beicheng, there's nothing he can't find out if he wants to know something.

The car drove all the way back to Huayue Villa.

As Jian Ning was about to get out of the car, she grabbed Xiao Li's arm and coaxed, "Be good, you don't need to open the door for me. My hand isn't useless."

Then, she opened the car door herself and got out of the car with great grace.

Xiao Li glanced at the paper bag left on the passenger seat, picked it up, and reminded her, "Ningning, you forgot your things."

Jian Ning glanced at the paper bag, then looked at him again, a smile playing on her lips: "This is a gift for you. Thank you for arranging today's itinerary. I had a lot of fun."

Xiao Li's gaze fell into the paper bag, which contained three small, packaged cakes.

It just so happens that there are three flavors of cake at the party.

His fingers tightened around the paper bag. "I..."

Jian Ning smiled and said, "If you like something, you like it. What's there to hide? Desserts aren't just for girls. Guys who like desserts are super cute, okay?"

After she finished speaking, she waved her hand.

"Drive carefully on your way back. I'm leaving now."

Xiao Li watched the figure getting further and further away in the rearview mirror, and felt a warmth in his heart.

He took out his phone and called his assistant: "Check for me what trouble Jian Ning has recently encountered."
