Chapter 377: I want you to feed me
The water in the pot was already bubbling. Su Wan washed her hands and slowly put the two fishes into the pot. Then, she added some seasoning to the pot.
Soon, the pot emitted a faint fragrance. It was so tempting that it made people drool.
Su Wan smiled and was about to clean up the other shellfish.
All of a sudden, she heard a heavy ‘clang’ coming from Jiang Xuecheng, and it gave Su Wan a fright.
“Xuecheng, what’s wrong?”
Su Wan turned her head and saw that the knife in Jiang Xuecheng’s hand had fallen to the ground. The originally majestic-looking lobster had its head and tail cut off, and it didn’t look as lively as before.
When Jiang Xuecheng saw Su Wan looking in his direction, he subconsciously withdrew his hand to the back, and the smile on his face was as light as the clouds and the wind.
“Nothing. I didn’t hold the knife tightly and it dropped on the ground.”
A light flashed through Su Wan’s eyes. She pursed her lips and walked over quickly.
“Give me your hand.”
Since Su Wan had made such a request, Jiang Xuecheng could not hide his hand behind his back anymore. He had no choice but to stretch out his hand.
Jiang Xuecheng’s slender fingertip seemed to have been pinched by something, and drops of blood appeared on it.
The lobster must have used its pincers to injure his left finger when it was about to fight before its death.
Although the wound was not deep at first glance, Su Wan subconsciously felt a little displeased when she saw the scarlet color.
Without thinking, Su Wan reached out and grabbed Jiang Xuecheng’s finger, putting the injured finger in her mouth.
Jiang Xuecheng was a little surprised by Su Wan’s action. “Wan Wan…”
The feeling was a little numb and itchy, like an electric shock. Jiang Xuecheng couldn’t help but feel a jolt in his heart.
The man’s deep voice sounded in her ears. Only then did Su Wan realize what she had done. She awkwardly moved Jiang Xuecheng’s hand away, and a trace of redness grazed her beautiful face.
“There is no medicine to treat wounds at the foot of the mountain. This method can be used to disinfect and kill bacteria.”
Of course, Jiang Xuecheng knew this. However, Su Wan’s obedient and delicate look sent him into his imagination.
Su Wan had no idea what was going on in Jiang Xuecheng’s mind. She glanced at the huge lobster that had been killed by him and immediately suggested, “Why don’t you drive to the castle to nurse your wounds while I cook?”
Hearing how worried Su Wan was about his injuries, Jiang Xuecheng’s slender brows raised slightly. The smile on his face could not be hidden.
“Wan Wan, you’re too nervous. It’s just a small wound. Moreover, my recovery ability is strong. There’s no need to go back.”
Su Wan frowned when she heard that. She lowered her head and looked at Jiang Xuecheng’s injured finger. She realized that there wasn’t even any blood on it now.
When she thought of Jiang Xuecheng’s unusual self-recovery ability, Su Wan finally agreed. She nodded and said softly, “Alright then, you just sit here and don’t deal with the seafood anymore. Otherwise, the wound will get infected again.”
Jiang Xuecheng’s eyes swept across the fire. The corners of his lips curved slightly, and his tone was soft but firm, not allowing others to interfere.
“How can I let you do all the work? My culinary skill is better than yours. Why don’t I grill the fishes and the little prawns?”
Su Wan couldn’t argue with Jiang Xuecheng, so she agreed. However, Su Wan was the one who did all the work like piercing the fish with branches. She only allowed Jiang Xuecheng to cook the ingredients.
Jiang Xuecheng sat leisurely on the chair and gently grilled the prawns. Then, he put some seasoning on the body of the lobster. Soon, the body of the lobster made a sizzling sound and emitted a strong fragrance.
Jiang Xuecheng looked over the bonfire at the little woman who was busy in front of him.
He saw Su Wan roll up her sleeves and add some more branches to the fire. Then, she added water to the stove and put in some shellfish that she had prepared.
Su Wan was very skilled at these things, as natural as the flowing water.
Because Jiang Xuecheng was indeed better at cooking than Su Wan, generally speaking, Su Wan was more of a helper and had little chance of becoming a chef.
Jiang Xuecheng looked at her quietly, and the smile on his face deepened.
Perhaps, seeing his loved one washing her hands and making soup for him, was a sight pleasing to the eye, no matter how he looked at it.
Su Wan occasionally looked back and saw Jiang Xuecheng staring at her with a smile. Su Wan frowned. Was there something on her face?
In the end, Su Wan could not help but remind him softly, “Hey, if you don’t turn the prawns over, it will be burnt!”
Jiang Xuecheng smiled. In fact, he was very concerned about the heat, and naturally knew that Su Wan just wanted him to stop staring at her.
He simply lowered his head and focused on grilling the lobster.
Su Wan’s seafood soup was done. In addition to grilling the prawns, Jiang Xuecheng also grilled a few fishes. The smell was enough to make one’s appetite rise.
Su Wan took out a plastic plate and placed it on the tablecloth. She filled two bowls with seafood soup.
Then, Su Wan took out her gloves and used the fork which she had prepared to pick out the grilled lobster meat and put it into a blue and white plate.
“Let’s eat.”
Su Wan handed the plate to Jiang Xuecheng, indicating that he could start eating.
Jiang Xuecheng’s eyes were bright, and his handsome face seemed to look even better under the bright light of the fire. Su Wan suddenly thought of a phrase to describe him “able to captivate all living beings”.
Such a phrase could actually be used so aptly on this man, making people feel that it was not at all out of place.
Just as Su Wan was bewitched by Jiang Xuecheng’s looks, she suddenly heard this sentence uttered by him which immediately interrupted her reverie.
“I want you to feed me.”
These words came out of Jiang Xuecheng’s lips. He said it in a graceful manner without the slightest hint of embarrassment.
When Su Wan heard this, the corner of her mouth could not help but twitch. Jiang Xuecheng’s injury was very light, and the main point was that Jiang Xuecheng had injured his left hand, not his right hand!
This man could make such a request without any shame!
Su Wan glanced at the prawns that she had deshelled and finally rolled her eyes at Jiang Xuecheng.
“Alright, since you are an injured person, I will reluctantly serve you this time.”
As Su Wan spoke, she used a fork to pick a piece of thick lobster meat and dipped it into a sauce dish before slowly sending it into Jiang Xuecheng’s mouth.
Jiang Xuecheng looked at Su Wan. He opened his mouth with a smile, and immediately swallowed the piece of lobster meat.
On such a beautiful day, with a beautiful woman by his side and beautiful scenery everywhere, Jiang Xuecheng truly felt that he had no regrets in this life.
Su Wan then took another piece of grilled fish for Jiang Xuecheng. She carefully picked out the bones and fed the man next to her.
Jiang Xuecheng smiled as he enjoyed the fish. The crispy grilled fish instantly activated his taste buds, making it taste extremely good.
Jiang Xuecheng thought that this was probably the best grilled fish he had ever eaten.
It was not so much about the fist but the scene made him feel everything was wonderful!
If only time would stop at this moment, how great would that be.
