When Huo Nai turned around, he couldn't help smiling. He steeled his expression, went back to the conference room, finished his work, and was the first to leave.

He didn't talk much and left immediately for Murdo.

Xie Yan sang a song in his heart.

After a while, no one answered him, but he was beginning to get hungry.

Xie Yan thought, 'Thinking is really exhausting.'

The night was no longer hot and his appet.i.te seemed to have come back. He took a piece of tofu from the refrigerator. The bean curds he used had low water content and were suitable for home-made tofu. He cut it into centimeter thick squares, put it on a baking tray, added oil and baked them. Each side was cooked ten minutes each, and the surface was slightly burnt yellow.

In a pan, he poured in some oil. When it was slightly hot, he added the garlic slices, tomatoes, and peppers then mushroom and beef paste. Adding in the tofu, he seasoned it with salt, sugar, and dark soy sauce. After stirring it all together, he plated it up.

It was slightly spicy and sweet. The sour taste of tomato was very good, which made him have a big appet.i.te.

Xie Yan's other dish was hot and sour potato shreds. Potatoes were really delicious, because potatoes have no pungent smell. The boiled water quickly made them crisp and softer. They could absorb a meat flavor if cooked with meat. It didn't take the lead away from other vegetables and was a versatile dish.

Xie Yan's potato shreds were as thin as hair, with a length of 3 mm and a width of 3 mm to ensure taste without breaking. Xie Yan used dried peppers, which could produce fragrance, and green peppers, which could make the potatoes fresh and spicy, and brought different levels of spiciness together.

After finishing these two dishes, there was a sound outside.

Xie Yan saw Zhu Que through the window. The busy figure stopped and looked at Huo Nai.

Huo Nai came in and was going to hug Xie Yan directly but he found that the dishes on the table were just made. He changed his steps and sat down at the table.

"Want some?" Xie Yan felt that if he talked about things after eating, he may not feel so guilty.

They sat face to face, and after only two bites, Huo Nai put down his chopsticks and looked at Xie Yan.

As he looked at the smaller man, he laughed.

"Why are you looking at me like that?" Xie Yan's mood was actually a little tense. "What's more, what are you laughing at?"

I'm laughing at your cuteness and how at ease you are, Huo Nai gave the answer in his heart, but he didn't say it. He just said, "Eat. I'll take you to a place after you finish."

This sentence made Xie Yan a little bit suspicious, but he still ate like he had been denied meals and cleaned things up. After all, he had been hungry all day, but he couldn't think of anything else.

He deliberately emptied his mind and thought that he would know the answer later anyway. Why should he think hard now?

After eating, he stood up and said, "Let's go."

Huo Nai walked over and took his hand.

Xie Yan was startled and almost pulled away as a conditioned reflex. Fortunately, he moved slowly and his brain kept up with him. He moved his fingers and tried to hook Huo Nai, but he restrained his mind and unconsciously asked, "Where are we going?"
