You hidden in my heart - Chapter 31.1

Chapter 31.1

Because it was Li Xining’s birthday, Lu Yuling made longevity noodles for her.

 [The Han people of China have a tradition of celebrating their birthdays with longevity noodles. The custom originated with the Han Dynasty’s Emperor Wu (157 BC–87 BC).

 Since then, the tradition has been adhered to. When eating, it’s best to avoid breaking the single longevity noodle that fills the entire bowl.

 Noodles represent long life because they are lengthy. According to Chinese tradition, the person celebrating his birthday will live a long life if he eats noodles on this auspicious day.]

 “Do you want to eat dried noodles or hand-made noodles?” he asked as he saw Li Xining coming back from the phone call.

 Li Xining had another surprise today. “Am I going to eat noodles? Do you know how to make noodles?” 

 Lu Yuling sounded proud when he replied, “I am good at all eighteen martial arts; no one can beat me.”

 Li Xining rolled her eyes at him and said, “You are a naughty person!”

 Lu Yuling was not happy to hear such words. “Why do you think I’m a naughty person? I just asked you what kind of noodles you want to eat.”

 Li Xining pondered for a moment and then said, “I want to have handmade noodles.”

 Lu Yuling said, “Okay, Madam.”

 Li Xining watched Lu Yuling working in the kitchen. He cut the meat into pieces and then used hot water, onion, ginger, and anise to remove the smell. After that, he fried the meat in a pan and used rock sugar to give it colour. Finally, he put in the water and ingredients and let it cook on low heat for a while. After some time, a delicious smell of meat drifted out.

 Li Xining liked to enjoy food, and she also thought that men who could cook were really attractive.

 Lu Yuling was very tall and stood out in the small kitchen. He also wore a dark blue apron, making him a homely person.

He cooked skillfully and competently, and his expression was also very gentle, less unruly, and rebellious.

 The most important thing was that he had a killer profile, like a person carved from jade.

 Li Xining leaned on the door and looked at him without turning away.

 Lu Yuling pressed and shaped the dough before he began to flatten it out. Realising Li Xining was looking at him, he smiled and asked without looking up, “Do you think I’m very handsome? Oh, I know I’m handsome, so no need to praise me.” 

Li Xining didn’t want him to be so arrogant, so she said, “Why do you think you’re so great? There are many more good-looking people in the world than you.”

 Princess Lu stopped his work, placed the dough on the cutting board right away, and looked at Li Xining with fake anger. “Just tell me, who do you think is better looking than me?”

 ‘Hmm. This is a serious question. If I don’t answer well, you will get jealous again.’ Thankfully, Class Leader Li had also been influenced by Princess Lu, so she quickly said, “My dad,” without any doubt or change in her expression.

 ‘Sure, if it is Uncle Lu, I’ll allow you to leave for now.’ Princess Lu decided to stop and then started using the rolling pin to keep working.

 Li Xining: “You act like a princess, so fake.” 

 Lu Yuling asked, “Did you just find out today that I’m a princess? Shouldn’t a princess be pretentious?”

 Li Xining agreed. “I couldn’t argue against it.”

 After cutting the noodles, Lu Yuling took some cold water and started boiling them. He also boiled water on another stove, and while waiting for it to boil, he cut the vegetables for later use. like coriander. “Do you like coriander? “If you eat it, I will cut it for you.””

 “Go ahead; I will eat it,” said Li Xining. But then she understood something. “You don’t know how to chop it? Okay, if someone doesn’t like durian or coriander, they must be a princess.”

 “It’s alright.” Lu Yuling said confidently, “As a princess, I have to be careful about what we eat. You’re not a princess, and you don’t get it.”

 Li Xining said, “…”

Have a nice day!
