Chapter 412: Chapter 412 Something has leaked out
“Codfish chunks?”
“Yes!”
“What, you don’t like it?”
“It’s not that… I’ve just never had it before! How did you make this for the first time?”
“First, I marinated it with sea salt, then fried it in a flat pan with butter until both sides were golden. After that, I sprinkled some special fish seasoning on it and it was ready.”
I was very disappointed with this fish.
Because Gu Yuanzhou had never cooked fish like this before.
Because directly frying fish chunks usually leaves a fishy smell.
If I didn’t eat it, he wouldn’t cook it this way.
But now, the fish chunks cooked in this way, to my surprise, had no fishy smell at all.
The texture was an experience I had never had before.
“Are there other dishes?”
“There are, I’ll help you to some!”
He made three dishes in total. Besides the fragrant pan-fried codfish, he also added two more dishes to my bowl.
I tried them.
One was stir-fried vegetable hearts, and the other was stir-fried shredded potatoes.
Both had a sweet and sour flavor, not the kind I liked.
This was far from the cooking skill Gu Yuanzhou had shown before.
At this moment, I silently dismissed the idea that he was Gu Yuanzhou in my mind again.
“Sit down and eat with me!”
“I’m not hungry!”
I could feel that he was standing right in front of me.
I wanted to tear off the bandages on my eyes and see the man before me clearly.
But in the end, I did not do so.
When my hand reached for the bandages, I felt pain and discomfort and let it fall back down.
Forget it, there was no need to rush. Better to explore slowly.
“By the way, could we exchange WeChat contacts, so it’s easier to keep in touch! Can I call you when I need something?”
I tentatively said.
To my surprise, he actually refused me,
“That wouldn’t be good. I just happened to pass by and help you. It doesn’t mean I can keep helping you.”
“That’s not true, you are a good person!”
“I’m not such a good person, you are blind! All you feel are illusions!”
“Alright then, may I at least ask your name? After all, you’ve helped me so much, I should at least thank you, right?”
“There’s no need! I’ve downloaded BE MY EYES on your phone for you. It’s specifically designed to help blind people solve various problems in life. If you need it, you can use it.”
“Uh, I’d like some milk tea, could you please go buy some for me?”
“Sorry, I have things to do, I’ll be going now.”
He seemed unwilling to help me further and left as soon as he said so.
I turned my head towards the direction where the sound of his footsteps faded, looking a long, long time.
The air seemed to still carry the scent of the perfume that emanated from him.
But now I could no longer be sure if it really was him.
When Jian Jing came back and saw the food on the dining table, she was somewhat surprised,
“Wow, you can still cook, Ayun, you really are amazing!”
“The rice is in the rice cooker, check if the dishes are still warm!”
The dinner was probably ready around five o’clock, and now that Jian Jing had come home it was about six, so the dishes should still be warm after an hour.
Jian Jing was hungry too, she served herself a bowl of rice and sat down to eat.
After tasting the dishes, she couldn’t stop praising them,
“This is delicious! How did you manage to do it?”
“As long as you like it, that’s good!”
“Mmm, my dear, you’re really great! You can actually stir-fry!”
“It wasn’t me who cooked it!”
I had not wanted to tell Jian Jing, but she kept asking, and in the end, I couldn’t help but tell her the truth.
I gave her a rough account of what had happened.
After hearing it, Jian Jing was also shocked,
“You really blew my mind, to think you would trigger your own allergy and nearly lose your life for it. That was a dangerous move! Did you consider what if it hadn’t been him? Or if he hadn’t shown up at that particular moment, you would’ve been gone.”
“I had it under control…”
“So you mean to say, these dishes aren’t up to his standard?”
“Completely different! His cooking never tasted like this before.”
Jian Jing put down her chopsticks and bowl, sat beside me, and laid a hand on my shoulder,
“Ayun, can you stop this, please? Gu Yuanzhou is dead. Let him go and free yourself too.”
“You don’t believe he’s still alive?”
“Ayun!”
Jian Jing’s tone was already filled with sighs. freёwebnoѵel.com
That tone was as if I were a hopeless cause.
“Oh, right, I took a photo of him with my phone! Look!”
Only then did I remember that I had secretly snapped a picture of him with my phone when he was in the kitchen earlier.
Though my angle might not have been great, I should have caught his figure in it. I couldn’t see, but Jian Jing could.
At this moment, persuaded by me, Jian Jing took my phone and opened the gallery.
“Is it him?”
Jian Jing remained silent after looking for a long while.
“Jian Jing, talk to me, is it him?”
“Er, Ayun, the last photo in your phone…is still the one I took for you at the hospital yesterday. There’s nothing else.”
“How could this be?”
I muttered for a while.
It took a while for me to remember that he had offered to download an app for me earlier, and I had given him my phone.
He must have taken the opportunity to delete all the photos I had taken.
“He deleted my photos, Jian Jing!”
“Ayun!”
“You don’t believe me, do you?”
“It’s not that, Ayun…”
I immediately called Wenya.
Half an hour later, Wenya rushed over in the middle of the night.
“What did you say, phone recovery?”
“Yeah, didn’t your friend’s husband know how to fix phones, to recover photos from the gallery!”
“He does have that skill, but it’s the middle of the night, and I feel bad asking him. How about this, tomorrow, okay?”
“No problem, take the phone, and let me know when there’s any news tomorrow!”
“Okay!”
Wenya loved me like that, always ready to fulfill my requests, no matter how excessive they were.
I was confident, having taken so many photos, there must be a few that captured his figure.
I didn’t know why, but I started feeling unwell that night.
My eyes were in pain!
By the late hours, I started to develop a fever.
I didn’t know what went wrong.
I thought I could bear it, so I didn’t seek out Jian Yan.
But as the pain grew unbearable, I couldn’t hold on any longer and got up, groping around to wake up Jian Jing.
“Jian Jing, my eyes hurt so much, can you see if there’s something wrong?”
Jian Jing, still half-asleep, let out two sharp screams after seeing my condition,
“My god, oh, my god, what is this stuff coming out… Ayun, get down and don’t move, I’m calling 120, just sit still and don’t move!”
