The Taste of Love

As soon as Le Yao thought of the agreement, he became very happy. He had recently said that he would cook more radish and cabbage dishes for Xu Yao, but instead, he went to buy some eggplant in this hot weather. Xu Yao had said that the eggplant dishes he made were delicious, so today, he would cook more of it. Anyways, eggplant wasn't invigorating, and didn't easily stoke the 'fire'.

Xu Yao had promised him the fifty days of security easily. He must hold Le Yao very dear in his heart! Some people have said that 'like is unbridled whilst love is restrained'. Such restraint must be love!

Just think about it like this, cough! It is just an eggplant, ah!

"Mr. Xiao Le, did you go shopping again?" asked Uncle Ming when he came out and saw Le Yao walking while humming towards his house. He asked him, "Did something good happen?"

Le Yao answered with a smile, "That's right. But it's a secret between me and the General. I can't tell you. By the way, Uncle Ming, can you eat sweet desserts?"

"I can."

"Then I'll give you some sweet tremella soup later."

Le Yao had made the sweet tremella soup in the morning. The snow mushroom was sweet, had a silky texture, and the cool soup could also relieve one of heat. He had made a lot, as the snow mushroom had expanded in size when soaked in water. Thus, he could share the dish with the neighbors.

Le Yao went back to his house and put the eggplant in the fridge. He scooped out a big bowl of tremella soup and sent it to Uncle Ming's house. He would also send the soup to Yan Jie's house later. But when he arrived at Uncle Ming's house, he found that both Yan Jie and Tang Ye were there. Hm? Had something happened?

"Lieutenant General Tang, why did you leave the hospital so soon?" Le Yao said, "Don't you need to rest for a few more days?"

"Thank you for your concern, Mr. Xiao Le," Tang Ye said, "I just need to go and change the dressing on my wounds a few times. And you are…"

"Oh! I cooked a lot of sweet tremella soup so I thought about sharing it with everyone. I was just about to send him some soup, but I didn't expect you and Yan Jie to both visit Uncle Ming. Here, you can eat this first. I'll go get another bowl."

"Thank you, Mr. Xiao Le." When Yan Jie heard that he also had a share, he immediately wanted to taste it. There were good meals in the Flying Wolf cafeteria, but it was only limited to three meals a day, along with fruits. So it was rare to see snacks and desserts.

Seeing that Uncle Ming had gone to get spoons, Le Yao went back to fill another big bowl, because Tang Ye was also there.

Some of the people here have heard Xu Yao boast that Le Yao was good at cooking, but they had never gotten the chance to taste it themselves. Uncle Ming divided the soup into three small bowls. At the beginning, Uncle Ming just wanted to give Le Yao some face, and if the soup didn't taste good, he would have to keep it for dinner. Who knew that when he took his first sip, it was especially delicious! Not too sweet or greasy, not too light or tasteless, just perfect, and the thin tremella was soft and slippery. Just by putting it into one's mouth, it was easily swallowed. Because it was previously placed in the refrigerator, the soup was cool and very comfortable to eat during this heat.

"It's sour," Tang Ye said.

"Ah?" Yan Jie said, "It's very sweet, isn't it?" Mr. Le Yao's cooking talent was great! Don't tell me there is another undead coming for Tang Ye?!

"What I meant is that my life is sour. All the good things have been caught by Xu Yao. What else can you say about his life? It was said that the third young master of the Le Family is domineering, arrogant, and completely unreasonable! He's not reliable? I think he's very reliable as Xu Yao's wife."

Yan Jie said, "That makes sense. The food is also very delicious. Mr. Xiao Le is so virtuous!"

By the time Le Yao had brought the second bowl, the first bowl had been eaten clean. Most soldiers were straightforward. If they really recognized someone as one of their own, they would not be polite. Thus, the second bowl was immediately divided and finished. When Le Yao thought about it, there was only one bowl of soup left for Xu Yao at home, so he couldn't give them another bowl. If he gave it, there would be none for Xu Yao! He pretended he hadn't seen the group that still hadn't eaten enough, and quickly stepped back and went home to make his eggplant dish!

But he had underestimated the curiosity these people had about his craft!

Just as he had put the eggplant into the pot, Tang Ye and Yan Jie came over to his house. Tang Ye said, "Mr. Xiao Le, we have something to talk about with the General. Would it be convenient for us to wait here for him for a while?"

Could Le Yao say it was inconvenient? Of course not! He washed some fruit, cut it, served it on the plate and replied, "Then sit here and wait for him."

Yan Jie and Tang Ye sat down with no intentions of leaving at all!

As soon as Xu Yao entered the door, he saw two people sitting in the living room. He wanted to know who their guests were, so he walked over quietly. It turned out to be his brothers. Yan Jie, Tang Ye and Xu Yao had been used to each other's company for a long time. Seeing them sitting there shamelessly, Xu Yao understood their intentions in a glance.

Seriously speaking, he hadn't invited anyone to dinner after marrying Le Yao. However, Tang Ye and Yan Jie were the closest to him, so he also wanted to let Le Yao know them better.

After thinking about it, Xu Yao went into the kitchen and said to Le Yao, "Baby, it seems that you will have to work harder today to make more dishes."

Le Yao was surprised when he heard the word 'Baby'. He felt as if he had been electrified, and asked in a low voice, "Do they want to eat here?"

Xu Yao said, "Well, yes."

The agreement of 50 days of security had made Le Yao very happy that day. Wasn't it just a meal where he needed to cook a few more dishes? It was an easy task for a first-class cook like him. So, he nodded happily in reply, "Okay, then you can talk to them while I cook dinner. I will join you as soon as possible."

Xu Yao didn't leave the kitchen immediately. Instead, he showed the new pack of playing cards he had brought to Le Yao and asked him if they were good.

Le Yao discovered that it was much better than the pack of cards he had played with back on Earth, and the design was also particularly good-looking. He, who was already in a good mood, quickly praised the General, "Husband, aren't you too powerful? It's a thousand times better than what I drew!"

Xu Yao suddenly felt as if he was a big man bullying his little wife, which was a bit intolerable to him. Thinking deeper into it, Xu Yao wouldn't be able to contain himself if he teased Le Yao again. So, he just stroked Le Yao's neck and said with a smile, "It's been hard on you."

Le Yao waved his hands and quickly prepared the ingredients for dinner. In addition to the eggplant dishes for Xu Yao, he also made stir-fried meat with asparagus, steamed crab with mashed garlic and vermicelli, braised cabbage with mushrooms, braised potatoes with beef and so on. With the help of the intelligent chef, it was all done quite fast. The intelligent chef was able to cook more than one dish at a time, which was the most satisfying thing for Le Yao.

The people in the living room were chatting when the aroma of delicious food reached their noses. It seemed that Xu Yao was used to this , but it was hard for Tang Ye and Yan Jie, who were experiencing it for the first time. They went to the cafeteria for food every day. When they got it from the counter, they would go into a room to eat. The food there wasn't fresh and aromatic as it had been cooked for quite some time.

"It seems that the rumours are not true." Tang Ye continued in a low voice, "He's not like a dandy young master at all."

Xu Yao said, "He is not. That rumors have been spread by General Le's current wife. You have never met the current Madam Le. On the surface, she looks to be very good to Le Yao, but in fact, it is very different. And about Le Yao's cheap brother, if Omegas in the world were all like him, I would rather be single."

"They're so shameless." Yan Jie had also been in the conference room at that time. He had seen Jiang Xinduo and Le Tianyu in the video with Le Yao through Xu Yao's mecha. He had felt speechless after seeing that video.

Yan Jie said, "Tang Ye, those two people are wicked. Shortly after Mr. Xiao Le left Planet Tarot, Le Tianyu moved to Mr. Xiao Le's room. These two people are like doves that occupy magpie nests. Later, the stepmother said that Mr. Xiao Le worked too hard here. The brother also told Mr. Xiao Le to ask General for a divorce."

Tang Ye said, "We know the people, know their faces, but don't know their hearts. If I remember correctly, Jiang Xinduo married Le Feishan and gave birth to two Omegas, but Le Feishan wanted an Alpha, so Jiang Xinduo found an excuse to let the two small ones stay at her mother's house. After all, she was worried about their safety."

Xu Yao said, "I have some doubts about the relationship between Le Tianyu and General Le. You haven't seen how good General Le is to his stepson. One of Le Yao's two cousins is named Le Tianzheng, the other is Le Tianqi. After he remarried and the mother and son pair came to live together with Le Yao, the stepson changed his name to Le Tianyu. The other two little Omegas are also called Le Tian. Only Le Yao is like an outsider in their house."

Yan Jie said, "Never mind. We'll treat him as family in the future. I have to recognize Mr. Xiao Le as a part of the family for his amazing cooking skills. The sweet tremella soup he made was so delicious!"

"Tremella soup?" Xu Yao raised his eyebrows and shouted towards the kitchen, "Le Yaoyao, do I get tremella soup?"

Le Yao shouted back, "Yes, I kept it for you in the fridge! You can eat it later!"

When the dishes were served, Xu Yao saw a bowl of tremella soup in front of him. One after another, the white tremellas had been boiled until they had become a bit sticky and soft. It tasted very good with a few red wolfberries added to it. He realized that his little wife had characteristics similar to this bowl of tremella soup, making people feel sweetness even before eating.

Le Yao had cooked many dishes so his body felt hot and sweaty. With a red face and forehead damp with sweat, Le Yao said to everyone, "You can eat first. I'll ask Uncle Ming to come over and have dinner together."

No one moved their chopsticks.

Only later, after Le Yao and Uncle Ming were seated, did they start eating dinner.

Xu Yao served a big piece of meat to Le Yao, "This looks the best. Try it."

In fact, Le Yao had felt a little full after he had cooked and tried a little of the dishes back in the kitchen, but this was the first time Xu Yao had picked up food for him. This feeling was not bad. Thus, he ate it. At the same time, the other three were performing what was called 'gobbling up', while Uncle Ming's eating manner was much more polite.

Xu Yao said, "Don't come here again later!"

Tang Ye answered back, "How can you say that? I've just decided to come here often. Can I come here again, Mr. Xiao Le?"

Le Yao bit his chopsticks and murmured, "No, I have to listen to my husband."

Tang Ye was speechless. Looking at Xu Yao laugh as if he was a satisfied wolf with a big tail wagging behind him, he became even more speechless. Why is Le Yao so good to you? Hmph!

The more Xu Yao looked at his wife, the more he felt that he had gotten something very rare. After dinner, he decided to take Le Yao out for a walk. They went to the seaside near the camp, and he held Le Yao's hand seriously for the first time. Even though Xu Yao had done many more intimate things than this, at this moment, when two hands were clasped together, there was a different trace of emotion in their hearts.

At this time, Le Yao asked, "Husband, if I set up more tombs at the same place where Rong Gui's tomb is, will it have any impact on our division?"

"It depends on how many more you want to set. Why do you ask this?" said Xu Yao.

"I want to raise the dead soldiers so that they can help with night duty. They are not afraid of heat, and are not as easy to discover. They should be able to help you," said Le Yao.

Xu Yao just looked at the person who had said that sentence seriously and couldn't say anything in reply.

The author has something to say:

Ah ah ah! I can't bear to give such a good Le Yaoyao to Xu Yao!
