Chapter 1715: That Familiar Taste Came Back To Him!
Feeling depressed, Jing Xi followed his steps and kept on nagging as she walked.
Huo Yunshen really never would’ve thought she would nag so much. He immediately stopped and turned around.
Jing Xi didn’t notice this as she still kept talking by herself. Her head knocked into his bosom. An “ah” sounded out, and her body bounced back.
Jing Xi realized she had knocked rashly into him again and the unbearable feeling intensified. “I’m sorry. I’m sorry. I didn’t notice just now. It wasn’t intentional, I…”
Huo Yunshen couldn’t give a clear reason why but he just couldn’t bear to get angry at Jin Xiaoxi. Her nagging and impudence made him feel like she was actually very interesting.
“Is the meal ready?” Huo Yunshen suddenly asked.
“Huh?”
Jing Xi was confused by his sudden jump in thinking and was completely caught off guard.
He wasn’t going to rebuke her for being presumptuous?
He unexpectedly asked if she had prepared the meal yet. Could it be he wanted to eat?
However, it wasn’t time for a meal right now.
But it wasn’t a problem for Jing Xi. She nodded and said, “It is ready. You can eat at any time. Your majesty, are you hungry?”
Huo Yunshen didn’t say anything. Instead, he walked to the dining hall by himself. Jing Xi quickly followed.
Huo Yunshen sat at the dining table and waited for the food to be served. Jing Xi said hurriedly, “Your majesty, wait for a while. I will come back very soon.”
After she finished speaking, she quickly ran to the kitchen. It was way past mealtime right now. Cooking up a big meal would definitely waste a lot of time. That’s why Jing Xi could only quickly get the ingredients and cook up a simple dish, a bowl of noodles.
Once the noodles were done, she added a few delicate and appetizing side dishes to the tray before taking it to the dining hall.
“Your majesty, noodles are the only things I could cook quickly right now. Please eat them to fill your stomach for now! I will make more dishes for dinner.”
Huo Yunshen didn’t say anything but just looked at the noodles with his head lowered. The bowl of noodles was so average that it couldn’t possibly be more average. It was topped with some finely chopped spring onions.
It didn’t look like anything special but it did smell quite good.
The fragrance woke up his taste buds and he couldn’t help but pick up the chopsticks and start trying the noodles.
He used the chopsticks to stir the bottom first. However, when he started mixing the bottom of the bowl, he was shocked to discover there were things covered up under the noodles.
There was a poached egg, some green vegetables, shredded mushrooms, and there was even savory braised pork.
“Are these braised pork noodles?”
Huo Yunshen’s first reaction was to say this when he saw the braised pork noodles.
“Yes, that is correct.”
Huo Yunshen felt a strange emotion as he had a bite of noodles and then took a bite of the braised pork.
That familiar taste came back to him!
Wasn’t this the braised pork noodle that Jing Xi was best at making?
One would not be able to forget the taste in their entire lives once they ate it once.
“These noodles… did you cook them?” Huo Yunshen couldn’t help but ask when he tasted it.
“Yes.”
“The braised pork?”
“I marinated it myself. Your majesty, how does it taste?”
Huo Yunshen: “…”
It tasted unbelievably good. It tasted the same as the braised pork noodles Jing Xi made. Eating this made it feel like he went back to the past, to the time when Jng Xi was still here.
He still remembered the first time he had the braised pork noodles she made a few years ago in Peijing. It was an unforgettable scene.
As Huo Yunshen ate the familiar tasting noodles, his eyes couldn’t help but get wet.
This was Jing Xi’s cooking!
That was definitely it!
His taste buds would not lie to him.
He finished eating all of the noodles in one breath. He even drank all of the soup, not leaving one drop. After he wiped his mouth, Huo Yunshen lifted his head to look at the woman beside him.
Jing Xi saw that he had finished the noodles and even drank all the soup and knew he definitely was very hungry.
Now that the king had finished his meal, it seemed as though her mood also improved as well.
Jing Xi came over to clear the dishes. Just when she reached out with her hand, Huo Yunshen grabbed her wrist.
