[R18] These men are poisonous – “These Men Are Poisonous” Chapter 80 [English]

Chapter 80 Celebrity Chef

Gao Xia’s apartment is located in the inner ring where land is at a premium, with an area of more than 300 square meters. But Zuo Ning’s first impression was not luxurious or spacious, but… deserted.

It was obviously the most upscale community in the area, the decoration style was obviously very high, and all the furniture looked expensive at first glance, but Zuo Ning just felt that something was strange.

Probably, this place doesn’t feel like a home at all. There is no smoke and smoke at all. It’s more like a model house built by a real estate developer.

“I bought this place a few years ago, and the decoration and furniture were all done directly by others. I often go out to film, and I don’t come back for more than a few days a year. It looks really deserted.”

When Gao Xia said this, his tone was still calm, but Zuo Ning always felt that he could understand He’s mood to some extent.

Many young people who stay with their families every day look forward to living alone freely, but people like them who have no relatives hate the loneliness of being alone, and are extremely envious of those who have families.

The refrigerator was empty and the kitchen was clean. Zuo Ning thought that the last time Gao Xia cooked here might have been last year.

However, when he saw that he was wearing an apron, he went into the kitchen and was busy. His movements were skillful and neat. It seemed that he really cooked by himself.

“I’ll just have something for lunch and cook you a big meal in the evening, okay?” He turned around and asked with a smile.

“Okay, you can cook any kind of noodles, I don’t choose.”

It was already eleven o’clock when we finished purchasing ingredients from the supermarket. We originally wanted to have lunch nearby, but it was crowded everywhere and Gao Xia was a public figure, so Zuo Ning suggested that we just come back and do it.

Seeing she also entered the kitchen, Gao Xia quickly stopped her: “Your feet are still hurt, go out and rest, I’ll do it.”

“It’s okay. You can move around. I’m bored when I’m alone. I just want to help you. I’ll cook secretly by the way. I can see from the ingredients you picked that your cooking skills are definitely much better than mine.”

“Then let’s wait until night. I’ll just make something casual for this meal. You don’t need to help me. You go out and rest. If you’re hungry, eat a moon cake first.”

Zuo Ning no longer insisted, and sat alone in the living room for a while, looking at the open study on the other side, and asked, “Can I visit your study? It looks beautiful.”

“Of course, you can visit every place, it’s up to you.”

The old retro European-style study room looked elegant and graceful. The black wall cabinets were filled with all kinds of books. Zuo Ning could see at a glance that a certain grid in the middle were all his novels.

In the six years since her sophomore year, she has completed more than a dozen works of varying lengths. Although they are all published online, many of them have been published as physical books.

What is on the bookcase in front of her at this moment are all her published novels. One of them is missing the second volume. It is probably the one that Wen Nianqing saw in the hotel suite.

As for other books, in addition to the original novels in which Gao Xia himself appeared, they also cover various categories such as finance, history, law, food, astronomy, geography, technology, etc.

Nowadays, many celebrities in the industry like to project a “highly educated and highly cultured” persona. They keep saying that they read a lot, talk about truths at every turn, and love to be teachers, but in fact, they have no ink in their stomachs, and their secrets are exposed once they get into deeper conversations.

Zuo Ning has read all of Gao Xia’s interviews and knows that he will never take the initiative to show off these things. Sometimes he has to touch on some high-end issues. Afterwards, he will modestly say that he just happened to read a certain type of book and has a little understanding of it.

But now, looking at the hundreds of books in this cabinet, she knew that without true talent and learning, it would be impossible to be so calm in front of the camera.

There was an old-style DVD rack at the bottom of the bookcase, which held many old DVDs and even VCDs. Zuo Ning took a closer look and found that they were all movies from the 1980s and 1990s, and most of them were very unpopular. She had never even heard of their names.

I don’t know if Gao Xia liked the movies of that time, or whether he studied acting through these.

Fragrances gradually came from the kitchen, and not long after, Gao Xia came out with plates filled with vegetables, placed them on the table one by one, and told Zuo Ning to wash his hands and eat.

He makes four dishes and one soup: fish-flavored shredded pork, stir-fried beef, hand-shredded cabbage, crispy tofu, and tomato and egg soup.

It is true that they are very homely dishes, but he said that he can eat casually. How can this be called casual?

After only a quick cooking effort, the dishes were all ready. Both the speed and the presentation of the dishes were beyond ordinary standards.

Gao Xia served Zuo Ning rice and handed him chopsticks: “Try it. I think you usually like to eat this kind of dish on the set. It should suit your taste.””

“You can tell it’s delicious just by looking at it.” Zuo Ning first picked up a piece of tofu and put it into his mouth. It was crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. It tasted delicious and she was full of praise. “You didn’t learn cooking skills, did you?”

Gao Xia smiled: “I’ve really learned it.”

Inexplicably remembering that Qiu Yimo learned to cook because he was too picky about food, Zuo Ning asked, “Is it because you are not satisfied with what you eat outside, so you learn to cook?”

“That’s not true. Do you remember that there was a popular food show four or five years ago? When I was scheduled to be on it, my manager asked me to work hard on my cooking skills. I signed up for many classes and studied quietly, just to show off my skills on the show and impress everyone. As a result, my cooking skills improved by leaps and bounds, but I fell off my horse while filming and was in the hospital for a month, so the show had to be replaced.”

After finishing the meal, Zuo Ning only felt that the program did not include Gao Xia, which must be their loss.However, Gao Xia’s cooking skills don’t stop there.

It was still far away from dinner time, so there was no need to prepare so early, so Gao Xia took the flour and other ingredients he bought this morning and made mooncakes by himself.

Watching him beating, stir-frying, stirring, and sifting, each step is so skillful, and every move he makes is like a chef. Zuo Ning really wants to record a video of him and put it on the Internet, which will definitely make all the fans scream.

“This snowskin mooncake is actually the best to make. If you want to learn it, I can teach you now. I guarantee you will be able to make it soon.”

Standing quietly behind Gao Xia and looking at he’s busy back, Zuo Ning suddenly chuckled and shook his head.

In fact, it doesn’t look like him. Except for his facial features, the person in front of him doesn’t look like her brother at all.

Gao Xia is gentle, elegant, cheerful and talkative in front of the camera. On the set, he is taciturn and calm, but he is always considerate and polite to others.

And what about eldest brother?He is wise, but not silent; he is smart, but shows strength in every gesture; he is gentle, but he never shows it easily. People around him are usually afraid of him unless they are familiar with him; he also never enters the kitchen.

These two people are completely different.
