Chapter 12. Pillows.

When Lu Xiao came down from upstairs, Ares had already washed the cabbage and carefully broke it into pieces.

He just learned this from searching for dumpling tutorials online.

Seeing Lu Xiao coming, Ares very tactfully stepped back and left the main position to her.

Lu Xiao was very happy because of his understanding and thoughtfulness: "Go and have a rest first. I'll call you when I need a bag later."

These past few days, Lu Xiao would let him go out when she cooked, and Ares was no longer as frightened as he was the first time.

"Okay, I'm in the living room, you can call me anytime."

Lu Xiao gave him an OK sign, turned around to find the blender, and prepared to blend the cabbage and meat.

Ares washed the cabbage and meat for her in advance, which saved her a lot of trouble.

This kind of man who knows how to do things without saying anything is really good.

So far, Lu Xiao is still very satisfied with Ares' existence. He is sensible, considerate, motivated, and most importantly, he doesn't talk much, which is really good.

Whether dumplings are delicious or not mainly depends on the dumpling filling. Lu Xiao has her own method of mixing dumpling fillings.

Whether it tastes good or not depends on the oil.

Lu Xiao also uses this kind of cooking oil when cooking, so she prepared a lot of it in advance, and can just add it now.

While Lu Xiao was busy in the kitchen, Ares replied to his adjutant: "There is something urgent that needs my attention. Get ready. I will go there tomorrow to handle it."

"Okay, your mistress is treating you well?"

"She's fine."

The adjutant stared at these three words with mixed feelings. After all, if you ask any married male how their females are, they will answer with these three words.

However, judging from the fact that the other party is willing to let Ares come out to continue working, no matter what their purpose is, it is okay.

At least Ares, who works outside, can have some time to breathe.

"No more, she asked me to help."

The adjutant, who had thought the chat was over, suddenly received this message and was unconsciously surprised. What was going on?
Why did he feel that Major General Ares seemed to be showing off?

Is it an illusion?

After Ares sent the message carefully, he turned off the terminal and waited for Lu Xiao to summon him.

He didn't know why he wanted to do this, but he just wanted to do it.

I don't want Lu Xiao to be misunderstood.

Although he was reluctant to admit it, his heart was indeed a little biased.

"Ares, you can come over now."

The first moment Ares heard the summons, he stood up and said, "I'm here."

At this time, Lu Xiao had already kneaded the dough: "Do you know how to roll out the dough?"

"I just watched a video to learn, can you let me try it first?"

"Of course." Lu Xiao handed him the rolling pin.

After Ares took it, he thought about the tutorial in the video and rolled out the dumpling wrappers under Lu Xiao's gaze.

"Sure, just roll it like this, you roll it and I wrap it. It's okay if you're slow, I'll roll a few first and you can continue rolling."

After Lu Xiao finished speaking, she quickly rolled out a dozen dumpling wrappers.

“You are awesome.”

Lu Xiao laughed: "Practice makes perfect. The more you roll, the faster it will be. Come on."

Lu Xiao was making dumplings while Ares was rolling the dumpling skins. He was a little slow at first, but he was not stupid. He could even operate mechas and aircraft carriers, so rolling the dumpling skins was not a difficult task for him. Gradually, he was able to meet Lu Xiao's needs.

The two of them worked together and finished wrapping the dumplings in no time.

Freeze some in the refrigerator, and eat it when you want to, and boil the rest. I didn't eat much at the Earl's Mansion before, and I was counting on this meal in the evening.

When the hot dumplings are served, they are served with garlic chili oil.

It smells really good!

Ares already knew that Lu Xiao was a good cook, but he still felt amazed every time he ate her.

“How is it? Is it better than what you eat elsewhere?”

Ares nodded: "Your cooking is always delicious."

"Of course. I may not be good at other things, but when it comes to cooking, I am definitely no worse than others. In fact, when I was looking for a job, if the Fifth Institute didn't want me, I would have wanted to open a restaurant. Can I open a restaurant with my cooking skills?"

"Business will definitely be very good." Regardless of Lu Xiao's cooking skills, just spreading the word that this is a restaurant opened by a female will attract many people to come, not to mention that Lu Xiao's cooking skills are so good.

Lu Xiao smiled happily: "Let's fry these for breakfast tomorrow morning."

"Okay." Ares took it to heart and decided to have it ready by the time Lu Xiao woke up tomorrow morning.

This way the little female can sleep a little longer.

After eating and drinking, Lu Xiao didn't want to move anymore. Ares would take the initiative to clean the kitchen without her asking him to do anything.

This feeling is really good.

"Ares, when do you get off work tomorrow? Can we both come back together?"

"Okay, I'll pick you up."

"Will it delay your work?"

"will not."

"Okay, I'll wait for you." Lu Xiao smiled sweetly at Ares, stood up and said, "I'm going back to my room first. I'm a little tired today. I want to take a bath. You pack up and come to my room. I haven't done the mental comfort for today yet."

"You can rest if you are tired, but not necessarily every day..."

"This won't take too long, remember to come over."

"Okay." There was a gentleness in Ares' eyes when he looked at Lu Xiao that he himself didn't even notice.

When Ares cleaned up the kitchen and came to Lu Xiao's room, he felt that his mood was completely different from the last time he came to this room.

The last time he came in was on his wedding night. He had made sufficient mental preparation before coming in.

He was also a little nervous at this moment, but also happy and expectant.

He didn't know when it started, but he began to look forward to Lu Xiao calling his name.

This change made him happy but also frightened.

He didn't know what would happen if he let things continue to develop, but selfishly he didn't really want to change it.

I felt like my will as a soldier was crumbling bit by bit.

Lu Xiao came out of a comfortable hot bath. As soon as she opened the door, she saw Ares standing in the room, his posture straight, as if he was standing in a military posture.

Although it’s very cool, it’s also a little funny: “What are you doing, why don’t you find a place to sit?”

"I'm not tired." Ares quickly glanced at Lu Xiao and looked away, his ears turning red.

The little female, who had just finished taking a bath, was white and tender with a hint of pink, and looked particularly delicious.

It smells delicious, like a freshly made cake, exuding an enticing aroma.

"You're not tired, but I feel dizzy watching you. Hurry up and find a place to sit." Lu Xiao said while wiping her head, "Oh, by the way, where's your pillow? Bring it over. Otherwise, where are you going to lie down later?"

Ares stiffened for a moment, then said okay.

Coming out of Lu Xiao's room, Ares blushed.

By bringing the pillow over, does it mean that he can sleep here?
