Across Deep Space: Four Men and a Play

Shen Xinghui was stunned for a moment, then touched his head and said, "When we were walking back to the apartment together that day, I passed by a stall and saw those slippers. I thought they were cute, so I bought them."

"I wanted to give it to you, but I forgot because I was busy."

He looked a little annoyed when he said this.

"This should have been in the box. The cleaning lady might have taken it out."

“I didn’t notice it just now…”

Seeing that he said so, Xia Jiumeng naturally understood.

"Is that so? It's okay. It's really cute."

"Then I won't be polite."

Xia Jiumeng changed into the slippers directly and followed him to the kitchen.

"Let me help you, is there anything I can do..."

The kitchen did not look as terrible as expected, but was very clean instead.

kindness?

Could it be that he actually knows how to cook?

"Don't mind that my cooking skills are not very good."

Shen Xinghui smiled embarrassedly and took out the food from the pot.

"It's okay, it looks delicious."

What Shen Xing handed back was a simple stir-fried cabbage. The emerald green cabbage was mixed with minced garlic and a clear oily sheen. It looked very delicious.

It seems that the rumor that he can't cook is true.

After looking around, she found that there was nothing she could do to help, because it seemed that Shen Xinghui had already done it.

In the end, I could only serve the dishes.

Today's dinner was quite sumptuous.

There are several dishes such as braised fish, braised pork with eggplant, stir-fried cabbage, etc.

"Wow, what a feast~"

Xia Jiumeng couldn't help but sigh with joy.

She rarely had meals because natural food was very precious in Kester and her family could hardly get to eat once. As an adult, she was either in the Zerg star field or on the way to the frontline planet.

Most of them just eat nutrient solution to fill their stomachs, let alone a full meal.

And this was made for her by the person she loved. Just thinking about it made her unable to wait to taste it.

"As long as you like it, try it and see if it suits your taste." Shen Xinghui raised his hand and picked up a piece of braised fish for her.

He learned this by watching the video countless times today.

"it is good."

She ate it with great anticipation, but the moment she put it in her mouth, she felt like she saw light...

The taste of this thing, no, it can't be called a taste, she felt like she had eaten a light bullet, the kind that exploded the moment it entered her mouth.

"What's wrong? Isn't it delicious?"

Shen Xing looked back at Xia Jiumeng's stiff appearance, and his round, deer-like eyes dimmed visibly.

Didn’t he already do the same as in the video?

Seeing him so lost, Xia Jiumeng couldn't bear to let him go. She endured the dizziness and smiled, "No, it's very, very delicious."

dying.

How can I describe this thing? It has the shape of a dish, but the fish meat is somewhere in between cooked and uncooked, and the scales are not removed!

Its taste.

It has the spicy taste of braised food, the taste of oil, as well as the sour and sweet taste.

It's like I can tell the whole recipe of the side dishes from the taste.

Extremely complex and hard to describe.

Suddenly I feel that the nutrient solution is actually quite delicious...

"Really? But you don't look like you like it very much."

"No, I'm just a little surprised that you can cook." Xia Jiumeng picked up some cabbage with chopsticks and wanted to stir-fry it. The dish looked delicious, so it should be fine.

“…”

This is like hitting someone with cabbage!

Seeing Xia Jiumeng take a bite and then stop moving, Shen Xinghui narrowed his eyes slightly, picked up a bite of the dish and tasted it.

"Cough, cough, cough."

He spat out the food in his mouth in a somewhat embarrassed manner, his face flushed red.

He took the cup beside him and rinsed it for a few sips before he recovered.

"How come you can still eat..."

Shen Xinghui looked at Xia Jiumeng in shock. He couldn't help but vomit after taking a bite, but she ate it without changing her expression.

Has her sense of taste been damaged?

Xia Jiumeng drank a glass of water with trembling hands before speaking, "I don't want to waste what you made."

Because it’s you who made it, I will eat it even if it tastes bad.

Shen Xing looked back at her beautiful blue eyes which shrank slightly. He couldn't describe the feeling, but he just felt a bloating and a little sour discomfort in his chest.

He couldn't help but put his hand on her face and said in a hoarse voice, "Idiot."

It's so unpalatable yet you still eat so much.

Xia Jiumeng looked at the tenderness and heartache in his eyes that could drown people, and the corners of her mouth rose slightly. "I'm not stupid, I'm the smartest and most powerful hunter!"

Her words brought Shen Xinghui back to his senses, and he withdrew his hand somewhat awkwardly.

"Yes, yes, you are the strongest hunter."

"Don't eat this, I'll take you to the new restaurant downstairs."

Having said that, he pulled Xia Jiumeng downstairs without waiting for her to refute.

...

"The food there is delicious, but the service attitude..." Xia Jiumeng and Shen Xinghui couldn't help but complain on the way home after finishing their meal.

"I won't go there anymore. Well, I'll give him a bad review."

Shen Xinghui took out his phone and calmly clicked a bad review, and left a message saying that it tasted very good.

Xia Jiumeng: “…”

Very good, as expected of Shen Dayong, he doesn’t avoid people at all.

He gave a bad review right after eating. Even a fool would know who it was and he wouldn't be afraid of the store owner chasing him out.

On the way back, the two of them tacitly did not mention what happened yesterday, but talked about other things first.

After arriving at the apartment, Xia Jiumeng went to Shen Xing's home to change her shoes back.

"Do you want to take this back?"

Shen Xinghui looked at the rabbit slippers in her hand and asked.

"Well, we're partners and neighbors, so we'll definitely be seeing each other often. If you don't mind, you can leave it here so I don't have to worry about running out of shoes when I come to visit you someday."

Xia Jiumeng said with a smile.

"do not mind."

Why would he mind, if not... he would like to keep her.

"Okay, I'll put it here then."

"Well, tomorrow is Monday. When you have the weekend off, I'll come play games with you."

"it is good."

"It's getting late, so I'll go back first. Thank you for your hospitality today."

Shen Xinghui sent her to the elevator and did not go back until her figure disappeared.

Looking at the rabbit slippers at the door, he smiled lightly and placed them next to his slippers.

People are always greedy, and after getting a little, they will want more.

Since those people don't follow the rules, there's no need for him to follow them either.

It took a lot of effort to find you, and this time, I won’t let you go.

A flash of paranoia and dominance appeared in Shen Xinghui's usually gentle and calm eyes.
