470: I will cook for you for the rest of my life.

Xiao Niannian looked around the room. The built-in cabinets were exactly as she had drawn, and the bathroom nearby was also identical to her sketch.

She walked into the bathroom and saw that the body wash and shampoo were all new and unopened.

It turned out that Lu Jing had made so many preparations without her knowing.

He truly gave her a home.

Xiao Niannian looked around and returned to the living room.

Lu Jing was already preparing the dishes.

Xiao Niannian lay on the sofa and saw several plates of food already set out in the kitchen.

"You don't need to make too much, the two of us won't be able to finish it."

Xiao Niannian said.

"Okay."

Lu Jing replied from the kitchen, his eyes on Niannian, but his hands did not stop working.

Xiao Niannian had seen her parents do this before; after Dad returned home from his unit, he would busy himself in the kitchen. Although they had Ayis, Dad would always personally cook for them.

Xiao Niannian used to think it would be hard to find someone as excellent as her father, but now, she had found him.

Xiao Niannian got up and walked toward the kitchen.

Seeing that there was still some cabbage left unwashed, she walked over.

"Go wait in the living room, I've got this."

Lu Jing took the vegetables from her hand.

"No."

Xiao Niannian took the vegetables back. She looked up and kissed him on the cheek.

Lu Jing smiled at Niannian and kissed her back.

"Then wash this last vegetable and go wait. I'll be done soon."

Xiao Niannian nodded.

After washing the vegetables, Xiao Niannian went to lie down on the living room sofa.

Every time she looked up, her eyes would meet Lu Jing's.

Xiao Niannian swung her feet, feeling that these days were truly wonderful.

If she ignored the current era, she truly felt there was no difference from her original world.

Half an hour later, Lu Jing had already finished stir-frying four dishes.

Xiao Niannian saw him using two woks simultaneously, both his left and right hands busy.

Ho, that's impressive!

Xiao Niannian couldn't help but praise him internally.

She went to get bowls and chopsticks and placed all the dishes on the dining table.

There were a total of eight dishes: one small side dish, one soup, and the rest were meat dishes—steamed preserved pork, boiled fish, stir-fried beef with turmeric, and chili-fried pork... The aroma was intoxicating.

Perfect in color, aroma, and taste.

Xiao Niannian saw the liquor placed in the living room cabinet. She walked over and took a bottle.

"Shall we have some drinks?"

Lu Jing looked at Niannian with some surprise.

"You drink baijiu?"

"I have a good tolerance for alcohol."

Hearing this, Lu Jing nodded.

"Alright."

As soon as the liquor was poured, the two clinked glasses. Xiao Niannian took a sip. Mmm, fine wine, delicious food, and a handsome man—truly delightful.

"It's delicious, thank you for your hard work."

Xiao Niannian thanked him with a smile.

"Niannian, there's no need to be polite between us. I will cook for you for the rest of my life."

What declaration of love could surpass this?

Cooking for the rest of one's life.

Hearing this, Xiao Niannian crooked her finger at Lu Jing.

Lu Jing leaned closer.

Xiao Niannian cupped his face and kissed him on the lips.

"Good, sealed with a kiss as proof. You must keep your word."

Lu Jing kissed Niannian back and said with a smile.

"I will definitely keep my word."

Xiao Niannian suddenly noticed that there were many fish bladders in the boiled fish, which she used to love eating the most.

"So many fish bladders?"

Xiao Niannian looked at Lu Jing in surprise.

Lu Jing smiled.

"I specifically asked someone to prepare them."

The spicy boiled fish and the spicy boiled beef were both delicious, but the taste of the fish bladders was absolutely incredible.

"Master Lu, your craftsmanship is truly excellent."

"Thank you for the compliment, Master Xiao."

The two chatted and laughed. They had just been eating for a while when they heard a loud pounding on the door outside.

Xiao Niannian already knew that Military Doctor Shen and Shen Yan had arrived, and Brother Xu was there too.

Xiao Niannian was about to get up to open the door, but Lu Jing reached out and held her hand.

"Don't bother with them."

He finally had some time alone with Niannian, and these people had come running to ruin it.

"If you don't open the door, they'll climb over the wall to get in. This lock can't stop them anyway," Xiao Niannian said with a smile.

The next second, she heard the sound of them climbing the wall.

Lu Jing also heard the noise.

Xiao Niannian laughed.

After ten or so seconds, these people were already at the door.

Lu Jing got up and walked toward the door.

"Hahaha."

Niannian's laughter was behind him.

"Brother Lu, open the door!"

"Old Lu, open up."

Shen Yan was pounding on the door.

Lu Jing pulled open the door, and Shen Yan, carrying a large bag of things, nearly stumbled onto the floor.

Their house was right next door, only ten or twenty meters away. When they returned, they smelled the aroma of food.

Hearing the neighbors talk about the Lu Family Boy bringing his partner home, and how they mistook them for thieves and almost got into a conflict... they immediately guessed that Old Lu had brought Niannian to cook.

How could they miss out on such a good thing?

As for Old Lu getting angry or beating someone up, that would be after they finished eating.

"Old Lu."

Lu Jing opened the door and looked coldly at the group.

It wasn't just Shen Mo, Shen Yan, and Xu Zhan, but also Han Yue.

"Old Lu."

"We brought dishes."

"We just bought them at the State-run Restaurant."

Xu Zhan and Han Yue looked at Lu Jing with beaming smiles.

"Niannian."

"Sister."

"Sister Nian."

Lu Jing stepped back, letting them enter.

Xiao Niannian had already walked over by now and greeted them with a smile.

When she saw Han Yue, Xiao Niannian looked at Lu Jing.

"That's Han Yue."

Han Yue, ah. Xiao Niannian smiled and nodded.

"Hello."

"Hello, Sister Nian."

Han Yue greeted Xiao Niannian, then looked at Lu Jing.

"You guys are already eating?"

"The food is really good."

"And liquor?"

"Quick, take out the dishes from the State-run Restaurant."

Xiao Niannian saw them take out dishes like braised pork and Beijing roast duck.

She went back to the kitchen to get bowls and chopsticks, while Lu Jing went to the side and brought out a few bottles of liquor.

"Old Lu, you're really too generous," Xu Zhan said with a hearty laugh.

Han Yue also smiled as he looked at Old Lu.

"Wow, Brother Lu is so good."

Shen Yan saw Brother Lu bring over four bottles of liquor and immediately cheered up. His alcohol tolerance was decent, but he hadn't drunk much while attending the Military Academy. Since returning, he had shared drinks with his friends in the Compound a few times.

Lu Jing took out cups and poured them full of liquor.

He looked at them with a smile on his face.

"Have a seat."

"Thank you, Old Lu."

"Thank you, Brother Lu."

Xiao Niannian knew Lu Jing very well, and seeing him like this, she laughed.

"Sister Xiao, I brought you soda."

Shen Yan took out the several bottles of soda he was carrying.

"Thank you, Xiao Yan."

Lu Jing looked at everyone and said.

"Let's eat."

Everyone immediately started eating.

Xu Zhan was the first to raise his cup and said with a smile.

"Cheers, Old Lu."

Lu Jing took a sip and put down his cup.

Xiao Niannian drank the soda. The soda tasted good, but it was a bit cold right now.

She frowned.

Lu Jing saw this and walked toward the kitchen.
