"Sure," Xiao Yan stood up, just about to cut vegetables when he noticed Flossie Wright, "Hey, Flossie, you wanna give it a try?"
Flossie glanced at the vegetables Xiao Yan had cut and nodded haughtily, "Hmm."
Xiao Yan felt somewhat embarrassed.
However, as soon as Flossie arrived in front of the chopping board, she suddenly asked Xiao Yan, "Can my vegetables be eaten now?"
"What?" Xiao Yan was confused.
Becca Reyes found it somewhat amusing, she explained on Flossie’s behalf, "She’s asking about the vegetables from her vegetable field."
For some reason, Becca always felt that Flossie had a particular fondness for her vegetable field.
The fruit of one’s labor always matters. Becca wondered if Flossie felt the same way.
"Ah, captain Lin understands you." A suddenly enlightened Xiao Yan clapped, "I see. Captain Lin specifically told me to pick the vegetables from your section. The cabbages and carrots were growing really well."
Ignoring Becca’s teasing, Flossie nodded.
Then, she started to cut the vegetables.
The masterful knife skills amazed Xiao Yan.
Belinda Nichols had been standing aside all this time.
She knew that Flossie had come from the cooking class and probably knew some people there. But she still found it a bit strange.
In her impression, Flossie was not so easy-going.
Aside from Becca Reyes and Rowdy Brightwill who were on good terms with her, she barely acknowledged anyone else.
However, in this place, Flossie seemed different.
She couldn’t articulate a specific feeling, but Flossie, indeed, seemed different. She was not as cold and harsh as she was outside, but rather warm.
Cooking class...
Belinda took a few glances around the kitchen, trying to accept the strange feeling this unfamiliar place gave her.
There was a sense of warmth everywhere.
"Eh, who’s she?"
After admiring Flossie for a while, Xiao Yan’s attention finally shifted to Belinda.
"Oh, Flossie’s partner," Becca introduced, "Belinda."
"Hello," Xiao Yan nodded, then asked, "Is there anything particular you like to eat? I can get Captain Lin to cook it for you."
The sudden warm personality made Belinda slightly uncomfortable, but she didn’t express any change in her expression.
"Vegetables."
She said, with a stoic face.
"Err, okay,"
Xiao Yan nodded blankly.
Vegetables?
Just... Vegetables?
The unexpected answer made Xiao Yan feel a tad worried.
However, to him, Belinda was just a stranger, he didn’t care how she reacted, so he didn’t dwell on it.
The cooking class did not have any exotic food anyway, just heaps of vegetables. They were never short of them, so Belinda could have whatever she wanted.
Flossie cut vegetables swiftly, and Captain Lin cooked just as fast. Therefore, not long after Flossie rested, several home-style dishes were served.
They were steaming hot, appealing in color, aroma and taste.
"Let’s eat."
Becca brought the bowls and chopsticks, looking eager to begin, full of smiles.
The past month of physical training left them exhausted and tense. It had been a while since they last relaxed like this.
"You guys go ahead, I’ll call Yvonne Watson over."
After everything was settled, Xiao Yan took off his apron and headed for the door.
"Hey, hey, hey!" Becca called out discontentedly, "Are you asking for a beating? We finally got a chance to come back, and you’re killing our vibe?"
