It was only due to the extra pay that Ji Fanyin was willing to work on Christmas Day.
Ah, Im also heading there to dispose of a painting too.
Ji Fanyin grabbed a huge bag from her wardrobe, which happened to be large enough to stuff the painting in. She was saved from the hassle of wrapping the painting since she didnt unwrap it in the first place.
Its not as if I can appreciate that painting anyway.
She made sure to pack her pepper spray and security alarm in her bag, and she had the closest police station on her quick dial too. Other than that, she also prepared a miniature Christmas tree for Song Shiyu as a present.
With all preparations complete, she left her house and hailed a cab to head to Song Shiyus house.
When Song Shiyu opened the door to let her in, Ji Fanyin thrust the Christmas tree toward him and exclaid, Happy Christmas!
You too. Song Shiyu was stunned for a mont before he gave a response. With a gentlemanly smile, he took the miniature Christmas tree from her hands and invited her in. Co in and take a seat. The slippers are by the door.
Are we having dinner at your place today? Ji Fanyin put on a pair of slippers and entered his house. She placed her bag on the shoe rack and took off her coat before following Song Shiyu in. Do you need my help?
She could already see the ingredients on display in his huge kitchen.
Its just that How should I put this?
Its clear at a glance that the master of the house doesnt know how to cook.
Lets do it together. I bought quite a bit. Itll be tough for you to prepare everything on your own. Song Shiyu walked over to the sink. Which ones should I help you with?
Ji Fanyin walked over to take a look, only to reveal a helpless smile right after. You bought so many mussels! Dont you find eating shellfish a hassle?
She started rolling up her sleeves. I guess theres no need for everything to be pretty since were eating at ho anyway. Ill first broil the soup with the mussels, then remove the shells before serving. That should make things easier for you. What do you think?
On the other end of the kitchen, Song Shiyu replied without turning his head around, Sounds good.
The adept chef Ji Fanyin swiftly cleaned the mussels before boiling them in water. Then, she tore out their rich flesh one by one.
Song Shiyu wasnt the only one who found deshelling the mussels a chore. Even an avid amateur chef like Ji Fanyin thought that it was troubleso to remove the flesh without directly using her hands.
After extracting all of the mussel at and placing them into a bowl, she began preparing the sauce for them. At the sa ti, she started chatting with Song Shiyu, Dont you think that your house looks a little plain? Its Christmas! You should have at least put so ornants up for festivitys sake.
Dont I have you here? replied Song Shiyu casually.
A second later, he suddenly registered what he had just said and hurriedly supplented it with, Didnt you already bring
a Christmas tree?
Ji Fanyin burst into laughter. You expect that small tree to bring the Christmas atmosphere to your house?
Song Shiyu smiled wordlessly at her remark.
His abnormal silence lasted until the end of dinner.
Ji Fanyin had really put her heart into preparing the al. She could tell that Song Shiyu didnt cook frequently, but she didnt expect the latter to be so clumsy as to be unable to even dice at. He even had to take a taste test in order to tell the difference between sugar and salt.
They would probably still be starving right now if she had pinned her hopes on him.
In order not to waste any ingredients, Ji Fanyin had no choice but to take charge.
Having to maintain a warm atmosphere while taking charge in the kitchen was quite tiring even for Ji Fanyin.
