342: Intentional or accidental?

"The way to make this thing should be quite simple."

Thinking back to how she had seen this dish finally plated and served, Xia Qingxue roughly understood the method.

This large section needs to be cut into smaller pieces, then cooked, and the sauce poured over it.

"Not bad! Just like this!"

...

"Yue~"

On the cutting board, sections of large intestine were cut.

Xia Qingxue retched and poured the contents into the pot in one go.

She hadn't expected this thing to be so disgusting.

But after it's cooked, it should be very fragrant.

After going through so much trouble, Lin Xuan must eat several bowls of rice with it.

Xia Qingxue thought with happiness in her eyes.

"I wonder what Xia Qingxue is messing around with."

Outside the kitchen, Xu Mengmeng picked her teeth and poked her head in suspiciously.

Just then, she saw Xia Qingxue walk out of the kitchen holding a plate of food.

"Wow, Xia Qingxue, did you make this?" Xu Mengmeng was surprised.

"Can't I know how to cook?" Xia Qingxue said with a hint of arrogance.

"Come, let me taste it."

Xu Mengmeng reached for the large intestine on the plate out of curiosity.

Immediately, she was slapped back by Xia Qingxue: "No, I haven't even eaten it myself, this is for Lin Xuan."

"Alright, not even a little, truly prioritizing romance over friendship."

Xu Mengmeng said sourly.

Watching Xia Qingxue carry the dish to the table, Xu Mengmeng curiously glanced into the kitchen.

She was truly curious how Xia Qingxue had made that dish and what seasonings she had used.

Upon reaching the kitchen, Xu Mengmeng's eyes shifted and her brows furrowed slightly: "Why is this trash can so clean?"

"Where are the dirty things washed out of the large intestine? Did Xia Qingxue not wash it?!"

...

"Come, have a taste."

Handing the chopsticks to Lin Xuan, Xia Qingxue watched him with anticipation.

"So, the dish you made looks like this."

Looking at the large intestine in front of him, Lin Xuan felt a little surprised.

Not a pleasant surprise, this surprise was due to it being below expectations.

Such delicious food, was its appearance only like this?

Even average restaurants had better-looking dishes than this.

Of course.

Food.

Appearance is secondary.

The most important thing is the taste!

Recalling the various delicious foods he had hidden during those days at the bottom of the cliff, Lin Xuan couldn't help but curl his lips.

He was already unbearably hungry.

He picked up a piece and put it in his mouth...

"How is it? Is it tasty?" Xia Qingxue quickly asked.

Her eyes full of anticipation, she was clearly waiting for a two-word evaluation -- delicious.

Lin Xuan understood this point, and had originally planned to nod and give the highest evaluation after eating the contents of his mouth.

But!

As the contents of his mouth exploded in his oral cavity, the veins at the corners of Lin Xuan's eyes bulged.

He wanted to spit out everything in his mouth along with everything in his stomach, but when he saw the expectant Xia Qingxue in front of him, and remembered everything this woman had done for him, Lin Xuan, with an extremely distorted expression, swallowed the contents of his mouth forcefully.

"Is it tasty?" Xia Qingxue continued to ask.

Lin Xuan was a little silent: "Did you do this... intentionally or accidentally?"

"Of course it was intentional!" Xia Qingxue said proudly: "Every step of the process was completed by me seriously! Is it tasty?"

Hearing her words, Lin Xuan's face was green, but he finally went against his conscience and said: "It's tasty."

"Hehe, then eat more, there's a whole plate!" Xia Qingxue got the satisfactory reply, and her face was full of smiles.

Lin Xuan held his forehead, feeling a headache.

He couldn't understand why during that time at the bottom of the cliff, Xia Qingxue could turn ordinary ingredients into human delicacies under extremely limited conditions.

But after returning home, with all sorts of seasonings in the kitchen and fresh ingredients, she made something like this?

Could it be that she was a different person?

"Xia Qingxue! Lin Xuan!" At this moment, Xia Yuanfu, who had rushed over in a hurry, finally arrived.

Seeing the two people in the living room, Xia Yuanfu was full of excitement: "Xia Qingxue, Lin Xuan! You, you really came back!"

"Hahaha, I knew it, I knew you would be fine!"

"Father!" After seven days, having gone through seven days of hardship, seeing her Father again, Xia Qingxue was also full of excitement.

"Uncle Xia."

Lin Xuan nodded to Xia Yuanfu: "I made you worry."

"As long as you're back safe and sound, and nothing happened, it's good."

Xia Yuanfu let out a long sigh of relief.

Before seeing Xia Qingxue and Lin Xuan, Xia Yuanfu had been extremely anxious and irritable.

Now that he finally saw them, he could let out a long sigh of relief.

"Can you tell me, what did you and Xia Qingxue experience during these seven days?"

Sitting beside the two, Xia Yuanfu's mood was much more relaxed.

"The experience of these seven days?"

Regarding this question, a hint of recollection emerged in Lin Xuan's eyes.

"The seven days at the bottom of the cliff were the most unforgettable seven days for me."
