Chapter 124: Apartment with a Great Location
After Su Jingsi saw Ouyang Mengmian off, he quickly walked to the computer desk and sat down, concentrating on his busy and intense work. Time passed, two or three hours passed in a flash, and the cooking alarm that Ouyang Mengmian had set before rang on time.
Not long after, a slight noise came from the stairs. It turned out that Ouyang Mengmian came downstairs. As soon as she reached the corner of the stairs, she keenly caught the rich aroma of pork ribs in the air.
Ouyang Mengmian walked straight to the kitchen in a happy mood. She switched the rice cooker to the cooking mode and started cooking. Then she took out the yam that had been soaked in water for a long time and put it into the pork ribs soup to continue stewing. After doing all this, she was not in a hurry to cook the tomato scrambled eggs. She brewed two cups of coffee for herself and Su Jingsi and brought them to Su Jingsi who was working at the dining table.
"You've been working for so long, have a cup of coffee and take a break."
Ouyang Mengmian's words were like a spring breeze, briefly pulling Su Jingsi away from his busy work. He raised his head, a trace of fatigue flashed in his eyes, but more of gratitude to Ouyang Mengmian. He took the coffee and took a sip. The mellow taste immediately spread in his mouth, because the fatigue from staring at the computer for a long time had been mostly dispelled.
"Thank you, Mengmian. By the way, I forgot to tell you during breakfast that the coffee in the morning was just as delicious as the coffee now." Su Jingsi smiled and raised the coffee cup in his hand towards Ouyang Mengmian. There was an indescribable tenderness in his eyes.
Hearing Su Jingsi praising the coffee, Ouyang Mengmian smiled widely: "I'm very happy to hear you say that. Although, this 'delicious' coffee is not really my contribution - it's just the instant coffee you bought at home, but I just brewed half a pack per cup and added more fresh milk."
After hearing what Ou Yanmengmian said, Su Jingsi smiled and shook his head. He chuckled and said, "No, this cup of coffee is so delicious, how can you say that it is not your contribution! You did an exceptional job in the same thing, you must have put a lot of unique things into it... It is because you discovered the mixing ratio between coffee and milk that I can drink such delicious coffee. Thank you, Mengmian."
When the two talked, there was only a table between them, but the sincerity in Su Jingsi's words and the deep affection in his eyes made Ouyang Mengmian's breath stagnate. However, she quickly came to her senses, pretending to be unaware, and cast her eyes towards the window half-covered by the veil.
"Ha... the scenery outside... looks quite beautiful." Ouyang Mengmian chatted casually with Su Jingsi while pointing out the window with interest.
Su Jingsi had seen through Ouyang Mengmian's intention to change the subject. He didn't say much, but just looked at Ouyang Mengmian deeply, followed the direction she pointed, and said, "There is a famous lakeside scenic area around this apartment. The surrounding scenery is beautiful and the natural environment is extremely excellent. You can even see egrets foraging leisurely by the water. If you have time, why don't we go for a walk nearby..."
After hearing Su Jingsi's introduction, Ouyang Mengmian's eyes flashed with intense joy. She only knew that the apartment where Su Jingsi lived was very close to the subway. Such a geographical location was already very rare in the crowded A area where people had to cross multiple areas to work, but she didn't expect that there was such a natural beauty around it. She couldn't help but look forward to Su Jingsi's recommendation.
"Such a beautiful scenery, it would be a shame not to go for a walk. But it's almost noon now, and the sunlight is still very strong even in the afternoon... Why don't we go there tomorrow morning when the sun has just risen? The temperature will not be high then, and it is the best time to enjoy the scenery!" Ouyang Mengmian's face was filled with anticipation and excitement, and he couldn't wait to ask Su Jingsi.
"Sure, if you want to go, we can go anytime." Su Jingsi suggested happily, his words full of warm invitation and expectation. Su Jingsi paused for a moment, and then said: "But now, our chef Mengmian, shouldn't we show off our cooking skills? This pork rib soup is so delicious, it has aroused my appetite and my stomach is growling!"
Ouyang Mengmian only remembered that she still had to cook when she heard Su Jingsi's reminder. She smiled at Su Jingsi sheepishly and ran to the kitchen area to start making the tomato scrambled eggs.
