Section 10

You cannot eat so much by yourself. Kang Jian loosened his tie and served himself some porridge

"Let's have dinner!" Kang Jian said matter-of-factly

She turned off the light with a "pop" and opened the door

"Who else is at home?" His voice sent chills down my spine

The white goose finishes work early and loves to stroll around before heading home

Bai Yan covered her mouth, fearing that she might vomit. The best way to deal with Lu Difei was to smile and remain silent. Lu Difei was a person who spoke in a slick and glib manner, sounding indiscreet and inappropriate for the occasion. Bai Yan felt that this was merely Lu Difei's way of concealing himself. In reality, Lu Difei's depth was not shallower than that of Leader Kang, and his ambitions were no less than those of Leader Kang.

The white goose did not make a sound

Is Lu Difei still thinking about collaborating with her to bring down Leader Kang? Bai Yan stuck out her tongue, finding it amusing

The white goose bared its teeth, truly feeling embarrassed for the Communist Party to have such cadres, "Leader Lu, the development zone has been doing well recently, hasn't it?"

It is better to eat freshly prepared meals; leftover rice and dishes lack flavor. Hurry and sit down, let's eat! Is there any wine at home?" Kang Jian looked at the crabs on the plate and the long-lost "Bai Yan's unique culinary skill," his dark eyes sparkling brightly.

The white goose made her heart flutter when he spoke, and today she happened to have hardly eaten, feeling so hungry that her stomach was touching her back. Thinking about crabs, which wouldn't make her gain weight, she exclaimed, "Give me four!"

The white goose stands at the door, "Hmm, which outfit are you going to wear today?" This Director Kang is becoming increasingly unreasonable; he doesn't even bother to make a phone call before coming over now

The white goose pouted, standing by the table, "We are already divorced; these were bought with my money, and you have no share in them"

The white goose chewed on cucumbers and ate bean sprouts in silence, ignoring him

The community where Bai Yan currently resides is indeed quite convenient, as there is a farmers' market directly across the street, where fresh fish, shrimp, and vegetables are often sold every morning and evening

"Four is not a good number, let's go with six!" The vendor quickly grabbed six crabs and tossed them onto the scale, "One hundred and twenty yuan"

Bai Yan cast a sidelong glance at Kang Jian, threw down the rag, and thought that if he loved to show off, then let him show off to his heart's content; free meals are not that easy to come by

After much laughter and commotion, Lu Difei resorted to both persuasion and coercion, ultimately convincing Bai Yan to agree to go out for dinner together this Saturday evening

Just me alone

Before eating, Bai Yan specifically went to wash her face, took off her apron, and had just walked out when someone knocked on the door

Kang Jian's mood was not affected at all; he drank two bowls of porridge, polished off a large plate of pancakes, and finally ate two large crabs

The white goose rolled its eyes and tapped his hand with chopsticks, saying, "The crabs are the freshest, so they should be eaten last; otherwise, everything else will taste bland." This Director Kang is a dog in the zodiac, with such a sharp nose. She made a serious effort to cook for the first time, and he happened to be the one she encountered.

Lu Difei laughed heartily on the other end of the phone, clearly enjoying himself. "Little girl, I heard that you are now single again, just like me. Shall we celebrate our status as single individuals together?"

This ... ... is my dinner

Kang Jian actively helped to tidy up the dishes, eagerly taking the initiative to wash them. The kitchen was small, and with two people inside, they occasionally bumped shoulders and legs, appearing to be a harmonious and affectionate couple.

What are you ... ... doing?" Bai Yan stared wide-eyed.

Bai Yan did not lack the ability to refuse; rather, she understood that if she did not respond, Lu Difei would buzz around her like a persistent fly, hovering above her day and night

The people surrounding, how many do you have, how many do I have, soon there will be very few left in the basket

"This is someone else's share." Bai Yan snorted.

He first stared incredulously at the food on the table, his throat bobbing, and then quickly rushed into the room, the bedroom, the balcony, the kitchen, and even checked the bathroom, his tense facial muscles immediately relaxing.

Hmm! Kang Jian smiled slightly, took a big sip of porridge, picked up a large piece of pancake with his chopsticks, and didn't even bother with the vegetables, enjoying the meal immensely. While eating, he praised, "Bai Yan, your cooking skills have improved so much, it's really delicious"

"Little girl, nothing is more important than being with you." Lu Difei naturally had a charming way with words, and he certainly understood the underlying meaning of Bai Yan's words. "Kang Jian is my colleague and buddy, and you, little girl, are also an important person to me. I may not have many other merits, but I am clear about my likes and dislikes. He is him, and you are you. You two have separated, but to me, little girl, you remain the same as before, as fresh as ever in my heart"

The white goose enjoys cooking very much, and the kitchen is filled with steam. The oil sizzles in the pan, making a "pop" sound, which she feels has a particularly homely flavor

Kang Jian vigilantly surveyed everything in the room in the darkness, his sensitive nose detecting a familiar scent

"These few, I will come to eat tomorrow." Kang Jian looked longingly at the three large crabs remaining on the plate

In the past, in Yun County, life was poor, and there was little one could afford. However, Shang Ming's mother was a master in the kitchen. She would sit in the courtyard, watching Shang's mother prepare even the simplest stir-fried vegetables with such color, aroma, and flavor that it made her mouth water. After starting work, she also began to learn how to cook, gradually honing her skills to a commendable level

"I will pay for the meals from now on. In late autumn, food should be eaten while it's hot." Kang Jian pressed her down to sit, handed her the chopsticks, and the bowl of porridge, while he himself reached out first to grab the crab

"I will bring it tomorrow and the day after tomorrow," Bai Yan said anxiously

"Is the light broken?" Kang Jian asked in confusion. Before going upstairs, he had specifically checked and found the house brightly lit.

Liu Jing?" Kang Jian raised an eyebrow

Kang Jian nodded, entered the room, took off his outer coat, and came out wearing only a wool sweater. He then went to the bathroom to wash his hands and conveniently brought out some bowls and chopsticks from the kitchen

Walking on the road, she thought about going home to cook a bowl of oatmeal porridge, make an egg pancake, blanch some pea shoots, and then mix a cucumber salad, with cherry tomatoes as dessert. The crabs would be tied up for steaming, which would be the grand dinner for the evening. Tonight would be a celebration for herself for returning to singlehood, and the weight loss would start tomorrow

"Little girl, would you like to buy a few to take home and try? This is the season when the crabs are the fattest," the vendor asked with a smile, noticing that Bai Yan was only looking and not buying.

The white goose is so heart-wrenching, but never mind, it's rare to indulge this once, grit my teeth and take out my wallet

The white goose secretly waved her fist behind him, suspecting him! When he turned around, she couldn't retract in time, laughing dryly and pretending to scratch her head, "You should go change your clothes quickly!" Hurry up, hurry up, she still needs to eat!

As soon as Bai Yan stepped into the market, she noticed several people gathered around the freshwater fish section. Upon approaching, she saw several baskets of fresh crabs scuttling about, each one large and plump, with green shells and long claws. The hairs on the claws were dark and long, indicating they were crabs that had been growing for several years. When she inquired about the price, it was still quite reasonable.

Carrying the crabs, Bai Yan wandered around to other stalls, bought a few cucumbers, a small amount of cherry tomatoes, also purchased some pea shoots, weighed out some dry noodles, and asked the vendor for a few green onions

Bai Yan had an MP3 player in her ears, humming a tune, happily washing and chopping in the kitchen. As dusk approached, the small dining table in the living room was filled with plates and dishes, colorful with reds and greens, especially the plate of crabs in the center, their shells a bright red and translucent, with crab oil oozing out, making one salivate. Bai Yan thought to herself that she could only eat one at most, while the others would be packed to take to the hospital tomorrow for Liu Jing and the others to taste.

Kang Jian did not believe it, pushed her away, and skillfully found the switch. With a "click," the room was filled with light

She quietly peered out from the cat's eye, and Leader Kang stood with a straight back, wearing a serious expression
