"Click, click, click, it's just a bit of minced meat, is it really worth your attention?" The system's voice suddenly echoed in Zhang Xiaoxiao's mind. 0
 
Zhang Xiaoxiao pouted and replied, "What do you know? This is called taste. Do you understand what taste is?" 0
 
"Heh." The system scoffed, "What is taste? All I know is that wastefulness is shameful." 0
 
"Tch." Zhang Xiaoxiao snorted disdainfully, "What do you know? This is called enjoying food." 0
 
"Enjoying food?" The system laughed heartily as if it had heard a funny joke. "Zhang Xiaoxiao, you're too amusing. It's just a bit of minced meat; can it even be considered gourmet?" 0
 
"Of course." Zhang Xiaoxiao rolled her eyes. "What do you know? This is simple fare, but even simple fare has its standards." 0
 
"Hahaha..." The system laughed again. 0
 
Zhang Xiaoxiao couldn't be bothered to respond and continued watching Liu Guangcai cook. 0
 
Zhao Guangcai was quick; in no time, he had finished cooking the rabbit meat. He brought the rabbit meat out and placed it on the table. Zhang Xiaoxiao inhaled the aroma in the air and felt even hungrier. 0
 
Seeing her expression, Zhao Guangcai smiled helplessly and went to the kitchen to serve rice. 0
 
Zhang Xiaoxiao sat beside the table, eagerly watching Zhao Guangcai with a look of intense craving. 0
 
Zhao Guangcai couldn't stand her gaze and hurriedly brought out the rice, placing it on the table. 0
 
"Let's eat," Zhao Guangcai said gently. 0
 
"Mm." Zhang Xiaoxiao replied happily, then picked up her chopsticks and grabbed a piece of rabbit meat to put in her bowl. 0
 
She was salivating. 0
 
Unable to contain herself, she stuffed the meat into her mouth and chewed a few times; her eyes immediately lit up. 0
 
"Wow, it's so delicious," Zhang Xiaoxiao exclaimed. "Zhao Guangcai, your cooking skills have improved again." 0
 
"Eat slowly; don't choke," Zhao Guangcai said, looking at her with a hint of affection in his eyes. 0
 
"I know, I know." Zhang Xiaoxiao nodded repeatedly and then grabbed another piece of rabbit meat. 0
 
She was just too hungry and ate quickly, accidentally burning her tongue. 0
 
 
"Ah—" She gasped in pain and quickly covered her mouth. 0
"What's wrong?" Zhao Guangcai noticed and immediately stood up, hurriedly walking to the kitchen. He returned with a cup of warm water and handed it to Zhang Xiaoxiao. " Xiaoxiao, drink some water." 0
"Mm-hmm." Zhang Xiaoxiao nodded repeatedly, took the cup, and gulped down the water. 0
After finishing the water, she felt much better. 0
She wiped the water from the corner of her mouth and looked up at Zhao Guangcai, giving him a sweet smile. "Thank you, Zhao Guangcai." 0
Zhao Guangcai stared at her radiant smile, momentarily lost in thought. 0
"Zhao Guangcai?" Zhang Xiaoxiao noticed he was staring at her and paused for a moment. "What's wrong?" 0
"Nothing, nothing." Zhao Guangcai came back to his senses and quickly looked away. "Let's eat." 0
"Oh." Zhang Xiaoxiao nodded and continued to focus on her meal. 0
She decided to save the rabbit legs in her bowl for Zhao Guangcai, so she refrained from eating them. 0
As she ate, she kept glancing at Zhao Guangcai, waiting for him to take a rabbit leg. 0
However, after waiting for a long time, Zhao Guangcai showed no intention of touching the rabbit legs. 0
Unable to wait any longer, Zhang Xiaoxiao spoke up: "Zhao Guangcai, why aren't you eating the rabbit legs?" 0
"Uh?" Zhao Guangcai was taken aback for a moment. "Do you like rabbit legs?" 0
"Yes." Zhang Xiaoxiao nodded. "The meat is plentiful." 0
"Hehe." Hearing this, Zhao Guangcai couldn't help but chuckle lightly. "You misunderstood; actually, rabbits have front legs too." 0
"Huh?" Zhang Xiaoxiao was stunned. "They have front legs too?" 0
"Yes." Zhao Guangcai nodded with a smile. "You overlooked the front legs when you were picking food." 0
"Oh." Zhang Xiaoxiao realized and lowered her head to rummage through the dish with her chopsticks; indeed, she found two rabbit legs. 0
So there are more than just two hind legs on a rabbit. 0
Feeling a bit embarrassed, Zhang Xiaoxiao smiled shyly and then placed one of the rabbit legs into Zhao Guangcai's bowl. "You work so hard every day; you should eat more." 0
"No need." Zhao Guangcai shook his head. "I don't really like meat; you can have it." 0
"No way." Zhang Xiaoxiao firmly shook her head. "You must eat." 0
 
 
Zhao Guangcai saw her firm attitude and had no choice but to take the rabbit leg. "Alright, thank you." 0
 
"You're welcome," Zhang Xiaoxiao said with a cheerful smile, then lowered her head to continue eating. 0
 
She first took a sip of soup, then picked up a piece of rabbit meat, followed by a piece of potato. The potatoes had been stir-fried to a golden brown, emitting an enticing aroma. Zhang Xiaoxiao couldn't help but drool. 0
 
She eagerly stuffed the potato into her mouth, chewed a few times, and her eyes immediately lit up. "Wow, Zhao Guangcai, your cooking is amazing," Zhang Xiaoxiao exclaimed. "These potatoes are so delicious." 0
 
"If it's good, eat more," Liu Guangcai said softly. 0
 
"Mm-hmm." Zhang Xiaoxiao nodded repeatedly and then picked up another piece of potato. She loved the taste so much that she ended up eating all the potatoes, leaving only a bowl of rice. 0
 
Looking at the mountain of potatoes in her bowl, she sighed contentedly, "So delicious." 0
 
"Don't just eat potatoes," Zhao Guangcai urged upon seeing this. "You need a balance of meat and vegetables." 0
 
"I know," Zhang Xiaoxiao nodded and then picked up a piece of rabbit meat. She was really craving the rabbit meat, so she decided to eat it first before having the rice. 0
 
As she ate, she thought to herself that no wonder everyone loves eating meat; it really is much tastier than vegetables. Zhao Guangcai watched her devour her food and couldn't help but smile helplessly before picking up his chopsticks to start eating as well. 0
 
His movements were graceful as he ate slowly, making it pleasing to watch. Zhang Xiaoxiao looked at him and couldn't help but swallow hard. She realized she was getting hungrier; every time she saw Zhao Guangcai, she wanted to eat the dishes he made. 0
 
" Xiaoxiao?" Zhao Guangcai noticed her gaze and paused for a moment. 0
 
"Mm?" Zhang Xiaoxiao snapped back to reality. "What’s wrong?" 0
 
"Why aren't you eating?" Zhao Guangcai asked in confusion. 0
 
"Oh." Zhang Xiaoxiao finally realized and quickly lowered her head to continue eating. 0
 
 
She ate the potatoes and rabbit meat together, then took a sip of the soup. 0
"Wow, this is really delicious," Zhang Xiaoxiao exclaimed contentedly. 0
Seeing her happy expression, Zhao Guangcai couldn't help but smile as well. 0
