Chapter 1266: At Least This Way He Doesn’t Seem Alone

Chapter 1266: Chapter 1266: At Least This Way He Doesn’t Seem Alone

Zhao Dingli finally decided to take a piece.

The chicken liver was as tender as it looked, without any hint of gaminess. It was so tender it didn’t feel like eating chicken liver at all, rather more like a half-cooked chicken heart.

No, even more tender than that.

"So delicious," Zhao Dingli said.

"That’s quite rare," Li Xiaoyun explained to Ye Fei, "He doesn’t usually like chicken liver, so it’s rare for him to think it’s delicious."

"You should try it," Ye Fei urged.

Li Xiaoyun took a bite as well, the liver was so tender it seemed like it would burst with juice.

Li Xiaoyun covered her mouth in surprise.

Zhao Gushen had already tasted Ye Fei’s grilled chicken liver before.

So this time, he didn’t go for the chicken liver first, but picked up a skewer of lanterns instead.

"It’s a pity that this round’s theme isn’t skewers, otherwise, with this lantern skewer alone, you’d have already won," Zhao Gushen said with a smile.

The lantern skewer is a combination of chicken thigh meat and eggs.

First, two pieces of chicken thigh meat are skewered.

Then, the immature ovaries and yolk from the chicken are placed on top of the bamboo skewer.

When the bamboo skewer is lifted, it looks like carrying two lanterns.

The yolk is half-cooked and creamy, bursting with flavor when eaten.

Before swallowing the yolk, take a bite of the chicken thigh meat, the mixed texture is smooth and tender.

"Oh my god!" Li Xiaoyun exclaimed, "I never imagined I’d one day eat something at home that you would normally have to go to a specialized izakaya to eat."

Even in Japan, not every izakaya serves lantern skewers.

Only a few izakayas offer it, and it’s quite a technical test to make it successfully.

It’s even rarer in Hua Country.

Just as in the Imperial City or Shanghai, even with their myriad of world cuisines and famous restaurants, there are very few places where you can eat it.

Li Xiaoyun believed that what she ate now was as authentic as if she were eating it in Japan.

Li Xiaoyun couldn’t help but take a small sip of wine.

"Oh, I heard from Teacher Guo that Gu Xian also seems to have absolute taste perception?" Ye Fei asked.

"I completely forgot about that," Zhao Gushen said, "We’ve only guessed that Gu Xian has absolute taste perception, but it hasn’t been confirmed yet. It’s because this ability is difficult to verify. The variety of seasonings and spices in the world is simply too vast to check each one."

Ye Fei nodded, "I’m the same way, so although it’s called absolute taste perception, I haven’t truly verified all the flavors."

Zhao Gushen nodded, "But at least for now, it seems that Gu Xian is quite similar to you."

This made Ye Fei very happy.

She originally thought she was the only one with this feeling of loneliness.

But now she knows that Zhao Guoxian, in some sense, is someone of the same kind with her.

This made Ye Fei happy to have a companion and no longer feel lonely.

"I’m going to get jealous," Zhao Gushen suddenly said to Ye Fei.

"Ah?" Ye Fei was stunned.

Zhao Gushen, out of the blue, why was he jealous?

"It seems like you and Gu Xian have a special commonality," Zhao Gushen whispered in Ye Fei’s ear, "That makes me very jealous."

Ye Fei: "..."

What’s all this about!

Can you be jealous about that too?

"You seem so happy, as if only the two of you are particularly compatible," Zhao Gushen said.

Ye Fei: "..."

So, this man didn’t forget, he intentionally didn’t tell her, right?

"You’re even jealous about this!" Ye Fei said quietly in an annoyed tone, "Even though we have the same ability, we still can’t be put together. Privately, he’s my young uncle. Publicly, he’s considered my colleague."

Why be jealous over this.

"I know," Zhao Gushen said, sounding a bit aggrieved, "But I’m just jealous. I feel like you two have common ground to talk about."

"Alright," Ye Fei sighed and surrendered, "I won’t mention it anymore."

Zhao Gushen sighed, "Never mind, once Gu Xian returns with his team, you two should have a good chat."

"Aren’t you going to get jealous?" Ye Fei raised an eyebrow.

"No, I guess I’ve played with my brain," Zhao Gushen thought and realized himself that he was acting inexplicably.

It’s okay to say he’s jealous, but saying he’s lost his mind is not.

After all, she is a chef.

Ye Fei immediately said, "Everything on this table was made by me. Are you saying I cooked your brain out of order?"

Zhao Gushen: "..."

"I’m wrong," Zhao Gushen immediately admitted.

Watching from the side, Li Xiaoyun and Zhao Dingli felt as if their teeth were aching from how sweet it was.

Zhao Dingli even stopped eating.

There was still a piece of chicken liver left on his skewer, but he didn’t eat it and just set it aside on his small plate, "I can’t eat anymore, it’s making my teeth ache."

Li Xiaoyun covered her face laughing, and leaned into Zhao Dingli’s arms.

"These two are so outrageous, already an old couple, yet still showing off their love in front of us," Li Xiaoyun said to Zhao Dingli.

She didn’t lower her voice at all, clearly wanting Zhao Gushen and Ye Fei to hear.

Really, having a good meal and suddenly showing off affection, it makes it too sweet to eat, is that appropriate?

"Exactly," Zhao Dingli agreed, wrapping an arm around Li Xiaoyun’s shoulder.

Since they were guests at Zhao Gushen and Ye Fei’s home, and with the little one present,

Zhao Dingli hadn’t dared to make any intimate gestures toward Li Xiaoyun.

He had been wanting to hold her like this for a while.

However, since Zhao Gushen started this shameless display, he didn’t have to hold back anymore.

Looking at Zhao Gushen’s behavior, along with Xiao Mo’s reaction,

it seemed Zhao Gushen regularly showed off his affection in front of Xiao Mo.

Without hesitation.

In that case, he wouldn’t hold back either.

Who couldn’t show affection, right?

"Luckily, the two of us are married now," Zhao Dingli said with relief, "They can’t hurt us."

"Yes," Li Xiaoyun nodded, "I didn’t like to come before because it felt like being a third wheel here, it was so uncomfortable."

Li Xiaoyun didn’t dare to say this before.

She was afraid Zhao Gushen would give her a dirty look.

But now with Zhao Dingli having her back, Li Xiaoyun wasn’t afraid at all.

She shared her honest feelings.

"It’s fine, from now on we’re not afraid anymore, the two of us can come all the time, no problem. No longer hurt by them," Zhao Dingli said.

Zhao Gushen: "..."

Coming all the time would be too much!

If that were the case, they’d have to move.

Xiao Mo looked at Zhao Gushen and Ye Fei, and then at Li Xiaoyun and Zhao Dingli.

He thought they were all too much.

Did he say anything?

Normally at home, he gets hurt by his father.

Now he even gets hurt by Grandpa Zhao and Godmother.

Why should he bear all the hurt alone?

He’s still so young!

The little one loudly said, "Next time, I’m inviting Zhang Xintian to eat!"

Although Zhang Xintian wasn’t his girlfriend, at least this way he wouldn’t feel alone.

Everyone: "..."

"Let’s eat, let’s eat," Ye Fei hurriedly said.

It wasn’t her intention to flaunt love, it was all because of Zhao Gushen.

Zhao Dingli took a sip of wine.
