Zhang Ye smiled sheepishly. "I've caused you trouble. I was so drunk that I didn't know my own bearings and even ended up staying over at your place. My actions were too inappropriate."
"You're welcome." Wu Zeqing continued cooking, "Take a seat and wait for a little. Dinner's almost ready. If you still hadn't woken up, I would have called you anyway."
Zhang Ye pretended to rub his hands politely, "Is that alright?"
She smiled, "Don't worry about it. Hur Hur, take a seat."
Zhang Ye then said, "Alright then. I'm really feeling the hunger since I didn't have much in the afternoon. That Teacher Feng kept forcing me to drink." He rubbed his belly.
A few minutes later.
The final dish was ready.
Zhang Ye rushed over to help, "Let me bring it out."
Wu Zeqing gently brushed his hand aside, "There's no need for you to. You just have to wait to eat." Saying this, she brought the dish over to the dinner table and undid her apron, "There's still soup and that's it." She looked over at the cooker, "It still needs a little while more, so let's start eating first. It will be done once by the time we finish eating." Northerners usually had their soup after eating, not before.
3 dishes and some soup.
Zhang Ye praised, "It's such a spread. The servings are so much."
Wu Zeqing sat down, "If you can't finish, we can always put it in the fridge. I can finish it up tomorrow."
Zhang Ye said in surprise, "You eat leftovers?"
"What's wrong with eating leftovers?" Wu Zeqing said gracefully, "It's not good to waste."
Zhang Ye smiled, "Of course there won't be anything wasted. If I can't finish it, can I bring it home?" As he said that, he picked up the chopsticks to grab a piece of eggplant and put it into his mouth. He chewed a few times before claiming, "Don't worry, there definitely would not be any leftovers. I’ll finish it all!"
Wu Zeqing asked, "Are you sure?"
"It's more than OK!" He said, "I didn't expect you would be such a good cook."
Wu Zeqing laughed, "I've been living alone for so many years, so I get a lot of practice, but of course, I can't compare to a professional.
