"Of course,"
The corners of Chen Lingyue's mouth suddenly curled up." Because this table of dishes…I made them all. Naturally, the process of serving them is more grand.”
"So you've been cooking in the kitchen?”
Lin Can looked at the table full of delicacies in surprise." You've made a table full of Manchu Han Imperial Feast. Can you handle it all by yourself?"”
"The chef has always been helping me.”
"Don't just stand there," said Chen Lingyue with a smile,"Hurry up and have a taste."”
"Alright."
Lin Can nodded. Then, he picked up his chopsticks and tasted the first dish of West Lake Vinegar Fish.
Chen Lingyue opened her clear and watery eyes and looked at Lin Can, her eyes filled with anticipation.
"How is it? How is it?"
"Give me a simple evaluation?" Chen Lingyue asked.”
"This West Lake Vinegar Fish has very high requirements for the heat. I didn't expect you to control it just right. The fish meat is tender and delicious, with the taste of crab.”
Lin Can gave Chen Lingyue a thumbs up and gave her a thumbs up." There's nothing to say. Full marks."”
"Really?"
Chen Lingyue's clear eyes seemed to be shining with sunlight. Her entire eyes lit up." Then try the other dishes!”
Lin Can didn't decline at all. He immediately picked up his chopsticks and tasted the other dishes. Then, he expressed his affirmation and praise for Chen Lingyue's cooking.
Lin Can wasn't praising her on purpose. Chen Lingyue's culinary skills were indeed excellent. It was obvious that she often cooked and studied the cooking methods. She had a good grasp of many culinary skills.
After tasting all the dishes on the table, Lin Can could not help but nod and praise,"Every dish looks, smells, and tastes delicious. I think if you change your career to being a chef, you might be able to reach a new peak in your career.”
"What…I don't want to be a chef. That way, everyone can taste my dishes.”
"Other than my parents, you're the first outsider to taste my cooking." Chen Lingyue pouted.”
Hearing this, Lin Can, who was picking up food, suddenly stopped. He raised his head and looked at Chen Lingyue." Then how did you manage to practice such good cooking skills?”
"Because this restaurant is owned by my relative…The chefs in the kitchen are very familiar with me. They taught me how to cook those dishes.”
" I usually cook for myself," said Chen Lingyue." I've never let anyone else taste it, not even the chefs in the kitchen. That's why I especially want to ask you if it's delicious."”
"Didn't your parents eat it before?"
Lin Can said.
"They're too busy…They usually don't have time to talk to me. In the past, I was angry, so they agreed to take the time to eat my cooking in order to coax me.”
Chen Lingyue's eyes suddenly dimmed." But no matter what I do, they will only praise me perfunctorily…so their comments are not of any use.”
"And just like today, I actually called them to come over for dinner, but they still said the same thing…busy…"
Chen Lingyue's clear eyes rippled." I'm very happy that you came over to taste my cooking today... Thank you..."
Lin Can looked at Chen Lingyue in front of him. He was silent for a while, then slowly took out an exquisite miniature guitar model from his pocket.
"I saw it in the gift shop on the first floor of the mall. I thought it was beautiful, so I bought it. It's not something expensive.”
Lin Can looked straight into Chen Lingyue's eyes." Happy birthday.”
These few simple words struck the softest spot in Chen Lingyue's heart.
Her eyes were instantly covered in tears." How did you know…"
"When I was working on the case last time, I read your information and wrote down your birthday.”
Lin Can said.
"Thank you…Professor Lin."
A crystal tear rolled down Chen Lingyue's cheek. She took the small guitar model from Lin Can and hugged him.
Chen Lingyue's tears fell onto Lin Can's shoulder, bringing with them a boiling temperature.
Lin Can also gently hugged Chen Lingyue.
At such an important moment, he could only invite a friend he had only known for a few days to celebrate his birthday. He understood the loneliness and desolation in this girl's heart.
Two minutes later, Chen Lingyue's emotions gradually calmed down. Lin Can let go of her hand and took out a few tissues to help Chen Lingyue wipe the tears off her face.
"I cried so much…If I had known earlier, I wouldn't have put on makeup…"
Chen Lingyue looked at herself through the phone's front camera. She looked like a naughty child.
Lin Can chuckled." It's okay. You're very good-looking. You can handle it even if your makeup gets smudged.”
"But it's your birthday today, why didn't you call some of your friends over?”
"For example, colleagues or classmates from my school days?" Lin Can asked curiously.”
"I don't have any friends."
Chen Lingyue looked at Lin Can and said seriously,"You can be considered my first friend.”
"What?"
"There's such a thing?" Lin Can couldn't help but raise his eyebrows.”
"I was raised very strictly since I was young. Although my parents have always been very busy and didn't have time to accompany me to do many things or take care of my feelings, they have always been very attentive when it comes to disciplining me.”
"They don't need me to make so-called friends. After normal school hours, they will arrange all kinds of tuition classes for me, such as piano, art, guitar, dance, and so on.”
"When I grew up, I was taught all kinds of economics, management, and other knowledge. I basically didn't have any freedom when I was studying," said Chen Lingyue.”
"After the college entrance examination, my father wanted me to major in financial management, but for the first time, I chose to go against their decision and major in forensic science.”
"Because of this, my parents had a big fight with me and even forced me to change my major. However, I didn't agree. After graduation, I successfully entered the municipal bureau and became a forensic assistant.”
" It was also from this moment that I finally had the so-called freedom. My parents would no longer interfere in my life, but I lost the ability to make friends…until I met you…"
Chen Lingyue looked into Lin Can's eyes and said sincerely,""Only when I face you, I won't feel repulsed, because…I really admire you.”
