Chapter 257: Really Not Leaving Anymore
She went into the kitchen, leaving Su Baijin outside, unsure whether he might feel bored or not. But after all, it was up to her; of course, he hadn’t taken the initiative to offer any help in the kitchen.
Qin Xiangnuan brought out the meatballs she had fried, made a dish of braised meatballs, stir-fried greens, plain stir-fried mushrooms, and stir-fried shredded potatoes. She portioned out some of the dishes and kept them warm in pots for Jian Zhiqing, unsure when he would return.
She served the rest of the dishes, laid out on the table — four dishes in total, plus an egg soup. Since this was Su Baijin’s first time eating at her home, she couldn’t make it too shabby. Fortunately, it was her usual practice to prepare a lot of ingredients, so she didn’t have to scramble around looking for what to cook.
"Please don’t mind the simple meal," Qin Xiangnuan placed a bowl of white rice in front of him.
"Not at all," Su Baijin genuinely enjoyed the dishes, welcomeness shone through his smile. He took a meatball and put it in his mouth, and the taste was actually pretty good.
"This is the best meatball I’ve ever had," Su Baijin generously complimented. Of course he was being polite; almost all the meatballs ended up in his mouth. Qin Xiangnuan only ate one or two; not wanting more, she thought if Su Baijin liked them, she’d let him have them. She was perfectly happy nibbling on plain rice herself.
It was past eight o’clock, and the sky was already pitch black, yet Su Baijin was still waiting, without any sign of leaving. Qin Xiangnuan had a feeling that he was determined to wait for Jian Zhiqing to return, but if it got too late, how would he get home?
