At the start, I tricked the school beauty, and ended up with twins?

An emergency rescue had started on one side, while on the other, Gu Yu was nonchalantly putting the prepared eel into the pot.

"Uh... what's happening over there?"

Gu Yu methodically added the spices into the oil, shocked by the chaos unfolding opposite him.

Cooking a meal was like fighting a battle?

"I just saw them pour a basin of eel into boiling water, and then the eels all jumped out!"

Lin Xinyue, who had been bored and watching the other side, narrated the incident briefly.

Gu Yu: "..."

"That's really courageous!" Gu Yu shook his head helplessly.

He had initially thought about making soft pocket long fish, but the facilities in the room were inconvenient, as the size of the wood stove was smaller than a real rural one, and the bottom of the pot was shallower.

If he were to make soft pocket long fish, pouring the long fish into the pot, he wouldn't have been able to cover the lid in time.

So he chose to slaughter the eel on the spot and then stir-fry the eel segments.

Now it appeared his choice was undoubtedly very correct. If it had been like the room across, they would probably be in a mess right now.

"Eel is indeed a great tonic and definitely edible,"
Experience tales at empire

said Dai Zhengguo, who was fiddling with the fire, chuckling.

He hadn't had these dishes for a long time.

In Modu, not many restaurants prepare eel, and even if they do, the skills are not very good.

The hot oil sizzled, the eel hardened quickly upon hitting the pot, and soon a fragrant aroma wafted from it.

Lin Xinyue took a deep breath, her eyes shining brightly.

She had not expected such a terrifying-looking ingredient to smell so good!

"Sigh, this stove really limits my skills!"

Gu Yu held a spatula in one hand and wanted to toss the ingredients in the pan but couldn't figure out how, as he couldn't exactly detach the iron pot from the stove, could he?

"Wow, Chef Gu is starting to show off!"

Lin Xinyue stuck out her pink tongue.

"What do you mean 'show off'? That's called demonstrating one's abilities, showing true talent!"

Gu Yu glanced at her sideways, somewhat indignant.

The spatula in his hand vibrated back and forth, ensuring every piece of eel was perfectly heated.

Finally, with just a pinch of salt added, the stir-fried eel was ready to serve.

"Hmm! This flavor, even though I haven't tasted it, it's genuinely authentic!"

Dai Zhengguo knocked some dust off his hands, smelled the eel's aroma, and nodded.

Eel as an ingredient, even if just boiled in water with a little salt, is absolutely delicious.

Lin Xinyue picked up her chopsticks to try some, but hesitated to reach out.

Though it looked appetizing, she worried it might taste different from what she imagined.

Such a slippery creature should be quite fishy by her reckoning!

But it looked really tempting!

She was greatly torn within.

Dai Zhengguo, not holding back at all, directly picked up a tender piece of eel and put it into his mouth.

He closed his eyes, savoring the taste in detail.

Three seconds later, he opened his eyes again, smiling at Lin Xinyue who wanted to eat but dared not:

"Give it a try, girl, the taste is very good. I really didn't expect Gu Yu to have such skills."

"Really? You guys better not be fooling me!"

Lin Xinyue looked at Dai Zhengguo's satisfied expression and then at Gu Yu, who was expectantly looking at her, finally seeming to make up her mind.

She reached out to pick up a piece of eel...

Her hand shook a bit and dropped it.

She tried to pick up another piece of eel...

The eel was a bit slippery. It dropped again.

Gu Yu: "..."

Dai Zhengguo: "..."

"Oh no, I can't pick it up! Maybe it's fate not letting me eat it!"

Lin Xinyue put down her chopsticks, wiped the sweat from her forehead, and showed a face that, although she had done nothing tough, still looked like she had exerted herself.

It was unclear whether it was the heat or the inner turmoil.

In the end, she still couldn't overcome her own barrier.

Gu Yu was speechless.

He casually picked up a piece of eel and had just stuffed it into his mouth when Lin Xinyue suddenly pounced on him.

A long piece of eel, with only half of it making its way into Gu Yu's mouth while Lin Xinyue bit onto the other half.

The two stared at each other, wide-eyed.

"Oh my... my old heart can't take this, how can I witness such lovey-dovey stuff while eating~"

Dai Zhengguo silently picked up the plate with the eel and walked over to the stove.

"What... are... you... doing..."

Gu Yu looked at Lin Xinyue in shock, not understanding why she would suddenly kiss him so forcefully.

Protecting her food? That doesn't make sense, right?

She doesn't eat eel, right?

Lin Xinyue was also stunned.

She didn't understand why, upon seeing Gu Yu shove the eel into his mouth, she impulsively threw herself at him.

"Wuwuwu..." Lin Xinyue, feeling nervous, tightly bit the half piece of eel she had in her mouth.

Gu Yu hadn't thought to let go either.

Who spits out food that has already made it to their mouth!?

So what was this bizarre posture now!?

"Wuwu... you... let go..." Lin Xinyue mumbled.

Gu Yu blinked: "No."

"Wuwuwu..."

Lin Xinyue was on the verge of tears.

What the heck was she doing!

But...

But, this stir-fried eel was actually quite tasty.

She swallowed her saliva then gently licked the eel meat with her tongue.

Delicious!

Extremely delicious!

Not fishy at all!

Lin Xinyue's eyes widened, and she moved her mouth forward by a centimeter, swallowing down a small piece of eel meat,

Then she became bolder, continuously moving forward, as she stole meat from Gu Yu's mouth!

Gu Yu was initially about to let go, but seeing her snatch food from the jaws of death, he couldn't give in either.

Little by little, both of them nibbled on that five-centimeter piece of eel meat,

Getting closer and closer...

Finally, their lips touched, and they ended up kissing!

Lin Xinyue's eyes widened in shock.

Gu Yu already didn't care about what he was doing; he was only concerned about the beauty before him.

Lin Xinyue was flabbergasted.

She could have just bitten off the piece of eel or let go!

Seconds ticked by.

"Mmmm..." Lin Xinyue felt she was running out of breath and blinked frantically at Gu Yu.

Gu Yu also noticed her face getting red due to lack of oxygen and quickly released his mouth.

Both of them turned away, wiping their mouths, too embarrassed to look at each other.

"Oh dear, old man I, am I glowing! As you youngsters say, a third wheel!"

Old Dai sat on a small stool, the fire in the stove casting a red glow on his face.

"…"

Gu Yu was stunned; how could he have forgotten about Old Dai!

Lin Xinyue was so embarrassed she wished she could crawl into a cupboard, she really went too far just now!

"No problem at all, no problem at all. I played wilder than you kids when I was young."

Old Dai waved his hand with a smile blooming across his face.

What scene hadn't he been through?

Now recalling the time when he first met his wife while on a rural medical visit, the crazy things they did in that small grove during their passionate love phase.

Compared to Gu Yu and Lin Xinyue's behavior, that was truly a case of a sorcerer seeing a wizard.

No comparison~

Oh! To be young again!
