Chapter 279: 218. The Belated Surprise (Thanks to the Second Sister’s Alliance Hierarch 6/8)

Eventually, the filming location adhered to Bae Juhyun’s suggestion and chose the kitchen.

Fortunately, the kitchen of the house that Liu Xin’an rented was decently renovated, and since it was seldom used, it was exceptionally clean overall, so appearing on camera wouldn’t look strange at all.

The filming was naturally done by Bae Juhyun hand-held, but this time, she didn’t need to use a phone; Liu Xin’an had a more professional GoPro at home, which even had a built-in stabilizer feature, yielding much better quality footage than a smartphone could.

The GoPro was an old friend of Bae Juhyun; she had often used such cameras while participating in shows, so she was quite familiar with them.

"Starting to shoot~"

"Mm."

Liu Xin’an nodded.

It’s worth mentioning that they only bought three steaks.

Frying steak was not a difficult task for Liu Xin’an, and precisely because frying steak wasn’t much of a challenge, he never thought it could be considered a proper dish.

But it was Liu Xin’an’s first time to showcase his cooking skills in front of a camera.

As filming officially began, and with the previous experience in the supermarket under his belt, Liu Xin’an entered into the state of things even faster than before.

No longer reserved, Liu Xin’an demonstrated his refined steak-frying technique, and as the fat sizzled in the high heat, emitting enticing sounds of "zzz~", two steaks with a beautifully browned surface and an appetizing aroma were slowly removed from the pan amid Bae Juhyun’s exclamations of admiration.

Bae Juhyun, quite hungry herself, held the GoPro in one hand and a plate with the steak in the other.

After carefully placing the plate down, she aimed the camera at the steak, which was still making "zzz~" sounds in the dish.

The presentation was indeed top-notch.

But the more she looked at the steak, which was so beautifully presented, the more upset Bae Juhyun became.

Eventually, she decided to put down the camera and, huffing, approached Liu Xin’an to have a serious talk with this "culinary challenged" individual.

Was this what they called not being able to cook?

She began to suspect that his cooking skills might even surpass hers!

"Liu Xin’an!!"

Bae Juhyun called out his name, striding over with an air of determination, but her full belly of complaints gradually dissipated upon seeing Liu Xin’an casually stirring the vegetables in the pan with a spatula.

"How are you planning to fry that?"

With such delicious steak already prepared, Bae Juhyun felt she could also look forward to the stir-fried vegetables with the same eagerness.

But reality told her she had been too naive.

Liu Xin’an simply stir-fried the vegetables, then, right before taking them out of the pan, sprinkled some salt over them and served them up.

The simplicity made Bae Juhyun doubt her own eyes.

Did Liu Xin’an really add only salt, or... had he added some other seasoning while she was taking the steak to the dining table?

Given the steak’s delicious appearance and taste, Bae Juhyun thought she could trust her boyfriend on this one.

Maybe it wasn’t quite as exaggerated as Park Jinsuk had said. freeweɓnovel~cѳm

This thought reached its peak when she cut off a small, tender piece of steak with her knife.

"Mmm~"

The melt-in-your-mouth steak caused Bae Juhyun’s cheeks to rise in delight, and the typical exaggerated reaction of variety shows kept bursting from her lips as she savored the food.

Her enjoyable eating manner also gave Liu Xin’an, who had prepared this meal by hand, a great sense of accomplishment.

"Is it overcooked?"

"Not at all, it’s particularly delicious, way better than what I usually have..."

Bae Juhyun was about to say it was even tastier than anything she had on food programs, but considering the earnestly working camera nearby, she ended up swallowing the words that almost slipped out, opting for a cautious lie instead.

"Glad you can enjoy it."

Liu Xin’an put down his cutlery and then picked up a pair of chopsticks.

After all, the dinner was a mix of Chinese and Western cuisines, so naturally, they had a full set of utensils at hand.

The reason for picking up chopsticks...

Liu Xin’an wanted to try the vegetables.

He slowly lifted a chopstick-full of vibrant green vegetables to his mouth, carefully chewed, and then presented a calm expression.

The taste was the kind he made for himself when he didn’t feel like ordering takeout.

And because he had gotten accustomed to it, when Bae Juhyun curiously asked him about it, he gave a slightly vague answer.

"It’s alright, pretty good."

This response set Bae Juhyun’s mind at ease a bit, and she tentatively forked a piece of vegetable, eyeing it suspiciously.

Her earlier statement was not accurate; this stir-fried vegetable wasn’t seasoned with just salt.

To be precise, he had stir-fried it with garlic, she could smell the garlic.

After hesitating for a moment, Bae Juhyun decided to give her boyfriend a chance, for the steak’s sake.

She bit the tip of the vegetable, chewing it bit by bit like a little rabbit.

But halfway through her eating, her chewing movements slowed down increasingly.

In the end, she spat out that piece of vegetable, wrapped it in paper, and tossed it into the trash can.

Then, under Liu Xin’an’s puzzled gaze, she cut another piece of steak, chewing on it with a perplexed look on her delicate face.

"What’s wrong?"

"...I haven’t lost my sense of taste, but that bite of vegetable I just had was completely flavorless."

Liu Xin’an remained silent, and after a long while, he finally revealed an embarrassed smile.

"You’ve been wanting to cut down on fat, so I didn’t add any unnecessary seasonings."

"So you really only added salt?!"

Bae Juhyun gasped in shock, only now fully grasping why Park Jinsuk arrived at that conclusion.

But actually, Park Jinsuk had still understated it a bit.
