When She Stops Being Dramatic novel Chapter 265

Chapter 265: Chapter 107: The Top Star of the 60s Song and Dance Troupe (46)

Otherwise, he was afraid he might do something as wild as devouring her right then and there. And when he ate, how could he not savor the meal to his heart’s content? Although he had no practical experience, men, well, were always confident in their stamina.

Xia Zhaoyun couldn’t resist following a few steps behind to call out to him. Biting her lip, she tilted her head with a soft smile, not daring to meet his piercing green eyes. "Brother Tianhao," she advised, "please buy a little of whatever you come across. I can prepare it, and it’ll all make for good eating. Don’t just buy meat, okay?"

Huo Tianhao nodded, shot her another intense glance, and then strode away.

Since she had promised to treat the girls to a barbecue, Xia Zhaoyun splashed some cool well water on her face, making most of her blush fade. She then gathered her hair into a loose bun and headed to the kitchen.

Their home was well-stocked with newly bought grains. Since she and He Qingran didn’t have large appetites, they were never short on ration tickets and had managed to save up quite a lot.

However, He Qingran had been learning to cook recently, so ingredients were being consumed quickly. That was why they had brought a whole bag of rice and flour this time, ensuring they had more than enough for at least this one meal.

Thinking of the barbecues from her past life, she began to prepare some staple foods that would be good for grilling.

She made several types of steamed buns alone: small, sweet milk buns; tall, fluffy buns; and pocket buns. They would be delicious that evening whether eaten plain, grilled, or stuffed with meat and vegetables.

And of course, she made a large basin of seitan—the indispensable soul of any true barbecue.

She also made pan-fried flatbreads, rice cakes, and other things.

Just as she finished, Huo Tianhao returned, both hands laden with goods.

Xia Zhaoyun hurried to take the things from him and set them down. She handed him a clean towel, watched as he wiped the sweat from his face, and then served him a glass of water, warmed to the perfect temperature.

Huo Tianhao gulped it down in one go. The look in his eyes as he gazed at her was so tender it seemed to overflow.

’A scene just like this has played out in his dreams countless times. Life isn’t always about thrilling, heart-stopping moments. A simple, ordinary gesture like this can bring such pleasant satisfaction, moving him to his core.’

’If he weren’t worried about the smell of sweat on him, he would have definitely pulled her into his arms and kissed her senseless again, expressing his feelings in the most direct way possible.’

"Sweetheart, do we need to pick vegetables from the garden? You just stay here, I can go."
