Komatsu's Love Defense

Chapter 121 Encouragement

Ah Lu grinned, revealing a row of neat white teeth. He waved his arms and greeted me warmly: "Xiao Song, I'm back!"

At this moment, I could no longer suppress my emotions, and the tears accumulated in my eyes instantly fell. I quickly stepped forward and hugged A Lu tightly.

My voice was filled with tears, expressing my inner worries and reluctance: "Mr. Alu, how could you leave me alone and run to the food industry alone? I am really worried about you!"

A Lu's eyes fell on me quietly, his deep eyes reflected my face. He lowered his eyelids slightly, and whispered with an unprecedented seriousness: "I'm sorry, Xiaosong. I left you alone and went to the food world alone. I made you worry about me!"

I raised my head and looked at A Lu, tears flashing in my eyes. I nodded gently to show that I forgave his apology.

Ah Lu sighed softly, with a look of heartache on his face. He slowly squatted down and looked at me at eye level. His big hand gently stroked my head, the action was gentle and powerful, comforting me who was uneasy.

I gently raised my hand, wiped away the tears from the corners of my eyes, looked at A Lu, and smiled faintly: "Mr. A Lu, are you hungry now? I'll take you to eat the food I made!"

When Ah Lu heard that I was going to cook delicious food for him, a special look of anticipation instantly appeared on his face. He excitedly said, "Okay, okay, I'm starving!"

I took Alu to the top floor of the HOTEL GOURMET private villa directly under IGO.

The private terrace of the villa is like a quiet world, embedded in the lush green garden. On the terrace, the path paved with bluestone slabs winds and leads to every corner.

In a corner of the platform, a small pavilion stands quietly. The pavilion adopts the traditional architectural style, with pillars supporting the light eaves, and the eaves are slightly tilted.

Inside the pavilion, the blue brick walls exude a sense of vicissitudes of time. A small kitchen is embedded on one side, with a neat stove and cooking utensils visible inside.

I gently rolled up my sleeves, revealing my slender arms. I was determined to show off my cooking skills and make some of Alu's favorite dishes.

First, I put the carefully selected strawberry rice into the rice cooker and pressed the start button. Steam gradually rose, carrying the freshness of strawberries and the aroma of rice, filling the entire kitchen.

Next, I picked up a sharp kitchen knife and started to cook the ginger pork. The blade flashed with cold light, and I cut the pork into evenly thick slices with my skill. The spicy taste of ginger and the fresh fragrance of pork blended in my hands, exuding a mouth-watering aroma.

At the same time, the corn on the bone in the oven was sizzling, and the golden corn kernels were jumping in the flames, emitting an enticing aroma. I carefully turned the corn over to ensure that each side was evenly heated and roasted to the perfect taste.

A Lu stood aside, his eyes fixed on the food in my hand. His eyes were wide open, flashing with desire.

Ah Lu opened his mouth wide, saliva unconsciously flowing from the corners of his mouth, dripping onto the floor, forming a string of small water stains: "These are all my favorites, they look delicious!"

I gently placed the golden fried ginger pork on the white plate, and the tempting aroma spread instantly.

Ah Lu picked up the plate without hesitation and strode to the dining table. He skillfully used the knife and fork to cut the pork into small pieces and then put the meat into his mouth.

Ah Lu savored it, closed his eyes slightly, and felt the wonderful taste carefully: "Xiaosong... there is one thing I can't understand!"

As soon as he finished speaking, A Lu swallowed a mouthful of ginger pork, with a satisfied expression on his face: "Delicious, so delicious! This ginger pork is simply a delicacy in the world!"

I carefully took out the freshly baked corn on the bone from the oven. This corn was baked to perfection, with each kernel plump and bulging. The kernels were closely packed and exuded an enticing flavor.

I turned around and said to A Lu with a smile: "Mr. A Lu, the corn with bones is ready."

After that, I brought a whole hot corn with bone to A'lu. He grabbed the corn impatiently, took a big bite of the plump corn kernels, and showed an intoxicated expression on his face.

I continued to busy myself with other ingredients, looking up at A Lu from time to time, and asked curiously: "Mr. A Lu, what did you just say that I don't understand?"

A Lu sat opposite me, with corn kernels still hanging from the corners of his mouth. He chewed his food, making a slight "crunching" sound from time to time.

After A Lu swallowed the food in his mouth, he stretched out his left index finger and pointed it firmly at me, with a hint of doubt in his eyes: "Xiao Song, how do you know that I went to the food industry?"

I stopped cutting vegetables and looked up to meet A-Lu's gaze. My expression was calm, without showing too much surprise or nervousness.

I took a deep breath and said calmly, "Someone told me. Mr. Sani told me!"

"Sunny came to me before and told me that you went to the food world alone to challenge unknown dangers. Moreover, he gave me Mr. Jiro's phone number, hoping that I could entrust him to rescue you." I roughly told Alu that Sunny had come to see me and he had kindly given me the phone number of Jiro's grandfather.

As soon as I finished speaking, A'lu's face darkened, and the dark lines on his face became more and more obvious. He took a big bite of the corn with bones in his hand, and his teeth made a clattering sound, as if he wanted to chew the corn like a suni.

A Lu said viciously, with a hint of reluctance and annoyance in his voice: "Tsk, that bastard Sunny...he said that the food industry is nothing great, he deceived me so badly, he knew from the beginning that I couldn't leave!"

I turned around silently and continued to busy myself with the ingredients in my hands, but a slight smile appeared on the corner of my mouth: "Mr. Suni is also concerned about Mr. Alu!"

The originally large and plump corn with bones in Alu's hand had now been gnawed away by him, leaving only a lonely bone. There were still food residues hanging at the corners of his mouth, and he kept chewing, accompanied by waves of satisfied clicks.

Ah Lu raised his eyes, his eyes flashing with a bit of teasing at this moment, and his voice was full of ridicule: "He must think that he just told me how to enter the food industry, and then he went to ask for help himself. This is not beautiful at all!"

At this moment, there was a "ding" sound from the rice cooker, and the strawberry rice was cooked. I gently opened the lid of the rice cooker, and a sweet strawberry scent came to my nose.

I scooped out a bowl full of red strawberry rice and handed it to A Lu: "No matter what, I'm glad you came back safely. Eat it quickly!"

Ah Lu happily took the strawberry rice and sat at the table, eager to enjoy it. He ate it in big mouthfuls, with a satisfied and happy smile on his face.

I stood in front of the stove, handling various ingredients with skill. The kitchen knife flew in my hands, and each cut was precise and powerful.

Ah Lu sat at the dining table, completely immersed in the world of food. His eyes were shining as he stared at my hand movements. Whenever a new dish was served, he couldn't wait to eat it in big mouthfuls.

I looked up at A Lu and couldn't help but ask out of curiosity: "Mr. A Lu, what do the ingredients in the gourmet world taste like?"

A Lu picked up the red wine bottle beside him and gently poured himself a glass of red wine. He shook the glass, and the red liquid swirled in the glass. He drank the red wine in one gulp, and his cheeks began to turn slightly red.

Ah Lu wiped the wine stains from the corners of his mouth with his hand, looked at me and said with a smile: "I am in the world of food, I haven't eaten anything!"

I looked at A Lu in astonishment, my mouth wide open. I was filled with disbelief and confusion, and couldn't help but blurt out, "Mr. A Lu, who loves eating more than anyone else, why don't you eat?"

Ah Lu looked at the puzzled expression on my face, raised the corners of his mouth slightly, and revealed a gentle smile: "No... I won't eat it. I can't be the only one eating first, I want to eat with you!"

"The world of food is more profound than I imagined. There is no way I can master it all by myself. It is very difficult to conquer..." A Lu lowered his eyes, his eyes revealed unprecedented frustration and defeat.

I slowly stopped what I was doing, turned around, and stared at the dejected Ah Lu in front of me. Seeing his listless look, I suddenly lost all hope.

I couldn't help but feel distressed. I tried hard to suppress my worries and said softly, "Mr. Alu, please believe in yourself! You are the most outstanding food hunter I have ever seen!"

A Lu raised his head and looked at me, with a glimmer of surprise in his eyes: "Xiao Song, you are right, I can't give up just because of a temporary setback. But at the same time I need your strength, okay?"
