"Tsk tsk tsk, 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.
Zhang Xiaoxiao pouted and replied, "What do you know? This is called taste. Do you understand what taste is?"
"Heh." The system scoffed, "What is taste? All I know is that wasting food is shameful."
"Hmph." Zhang Xiaoxiao snorted dismissively, "You don't get it. This is called enjoying food."
"Enjoying food?" The system burst into laughter as if it had heard a hilarious joke. "Zhang Xiaoxiao, you're too funny. It's just a bit of minced meat; can it even be considered gourmet?"
"Of course." Zhang Xiaoxiao rolled her eyes. "You have no idea. This is simple fare, but even simple fare has its nuances."
"Hahahaha..." The system laughed again.
Zhang Xiaoxiao couldn't be bothered to respond and continued watching Zhao Guangcai cook.
Zhao Guangcai worked quickly, and before long, he had finished cooking the rabbit meat. He brought the dish out and placed it on the table. Zhang Xiaoxiao inhaled the fragrant aroma wafting through the air and felt her appetite grow even stronger.
Seeing her expression, Zhao Guangcai chuckled helplessly before heading to the kitchen to scoop some rice.
Zhang Xiaoxiao sat by the table, eagerly watching Zhao Guangcai with an insatiable look on her face.
Unable to withstand her gaze, Zhao Guangcai hurriedly brought the rice out and set it on the table.
"Let's eat," Zhao Guangcai said softly.
"Mm." Zhang Xiaoxiao responded happily, picking up her chopsticks and grabbing a piece of rabbit meat to put in her bowl.
She couldn't help but drool.
She eagerly stuffed the meat into her mouth, chewed a few times, and her eyes immediately lit up.
"Wow, this is delicious," Zhang Xiaoxiao exclaimed. "Zhao Guangcai, your cooking skills have improved again."
"Slow down; don't choke," Zhao Guangcai said, looking at her with a hint of affection in his eyes.
"I know, I know." Zhang Xiaoxiao nodded repeatedly before grabbing another piece of rabbit meat.
She was just too hungry and ate quickly, accidentally burning her tongue in the process.
"Hiss—" She gasped in pain and quickly covered her mouth.
"What happened?" Seeing this, Zhao Guangcai immediately stood up and hurried to the kitchen. He returned with a cup of warm water and handed it to Zhang Xiaoxiao. "Xiaoxiao, drink some water quickly."
"Mm-hmm." Zhang Xiaoxiao nodded repeatedly, took the cup, and gulped down all the water inside.
After finishing the water, she felt much more comfortable. She wiped the moisture from the corner of her mouth and looked up at Zhao Guangcai, giving him a sweet smile. "Thank you, Zhao Guangcai."
Zhao Guangcai gazed at her radiant smile, momentarily lost in thought.
"Zhao Guangcai?" Zhang Xiaoxiao noticed he was staring at her and couldn't help but pause. "What's wrong?"
"Nothing, nothing." Zhao Guangcai snapped back to reality and quickly averted his gaze. "Let's eat."
"Oh." Zhang Xiaoxiao nodded and continued to focus on her meal. She decided to save the rabbit leg in her bowl for Zhao Guangcai, so she held back from eating it.
As she ate, she kept glancing at Zhao Guangcai, waiting for him to take the rabbit leg. However, after a long wait, he showed no intention of reaching for it.
Unable to wait any longer, Zhang Xiaoxiao spoke up, "Zhao Guangcai, why aren't you eating the rabbit leg?"
"Uh?" Zhao Guangcai was taken aback for a moment. "Do you like rabbit legs?"
"Yes," Zhang Xiaoxiao nodded. "There's a lot of meat on them."
"Hehe." Zhao Guangcai chuckled lightly at her words. "You misunderstood; actually, rabbits have front legs too."
"Huh?" Zhang Xiaoxiao was stunned. "They have front legs too?"
"Yes." Zhao Guangcai smiled and nodded. "You overlooked the front legs when you were picking your food."
"Oh." Zhang Xiaoxiao suddenly realized and lowered her head to rummage through her bowl. Sure enough, she found two rabbit legs.
So there were more than just two hind legs! Feeling a bit embarrassed, Zhang Xiaoxiao smiled shyly and placed one of the rabbit legs into Zhao Guangcai's bowl. "You work so hard every day; you should eat more."
"No need." Zhao Guangcai shook his head. "I don't really like meat; you can have it."
"No way." Zhang Xiaoxiao firmly shook her head. "You have to eat it."
Seeing her determined attitude, Zhao Guangcai had no choice but to accept the rabbit leg. "Alright then, thank you."
"You're welcome." Zhang Xiaoxiao said with a cheerful smile before lowering her head to continue eating.
She took a sip of the soup, then picked up a piece of rabbit meat, followed by a piece of potato. The potatoes had been fried to a golden brown, releasing an enticing aroma. Zhang Xiaoxiao couldn't help but drool. 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."
"If it's good, eat more," Zhao Guangcai said gently.
"Mm-hmm." Zhang Xiaoxiao nodded repeatedly and then picked up another piece of potato. She loved the taste so much that she ended up finishing all the potatoes, leaving only a bowl of rice. Looking at the mountain of potatoes in her bowl, she sighed contentedly, "So good."
"Don't just eat potatoes," Zhao Guangcai urged when he saw her, "You need to balance it with some meat and vegetables."
"I know," Zhang Xiaoxiao replied, nodding as she picked up a piece of rabbit meat. She was really craving the rabbit meat, so she decided to eat that first before tackling the rice. As she ate, she thought to herself that no wonder everyone loves eating meat; it was indeed 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. His movements were graceful and unhurried, 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 felt an urge to eat his cooking.
"Xiaoxiao?" Zhao Guangcai noticed her gaze and paused for a moment.
"Mm?" Zhang Xiaoxiao snapped back to reality. "What’s wrong?"
"Why aren’t you eating?" Zhao Guangcai asked curiously.
"Oh." Zhang Xiaoxiao finally realized and quickly lowered her head to continue eating. She combined the potatoes and rabbit meat in one bite and then took a sip of soup.
"Wow, so delicious," Zhang Xiaoxiao remarked with satisfaction.
Zhao Guangcai looked at her happy expression, and a smile couldn't help but curve at the corners of his lips.
