Chapter 153 Catching the Wind
The arrival time was a little later than expected because the person who was going to pick them up was stuck in traffic, so Jiang Li and her brother had to wait a little longer.

By the time we arrived at Zhou Yuan's B&B, it was already dark.

On the edge of the town, a homestay looks particularly warm under the dim lights.

Outside the B&B, one can occasionally hear the chirping of insects and the whispers of distant mountains and forests, while inside the house, it is a lively and warm scene.

Jiang Li and Jiang Xu, a brother and sister, finally arrived at their destination after a day's long journey.

Their faces were filled with joy of reuniting with good friends, especially after seeing Zhou Yuan and Zou Ruxue.

In the courtyard of the B&B, a large round table has been set up, surrounded by carefully arranged wild flowers and lanterns, creating a romantic yet simple atmosphere.

Zhou Yuan and Zou Ruxue had been waiting for a long time. They hadn't seen each other for a long time. They were also looking forward to the arrival of Jiang Li and his brother.

Zhou Yuan was dressed in casual clothes, looking casual yet elegant; Zou Ruxue was wearing an elegant dress, like a gentle moonlight in the night.

"Hey, you're finally here! Did you have a smooth journey?"

Zou Ruxue walked forward and gave Jiang Li a big hug.

Zhou Yuan also greeted Jiang Xu, patted him on the shoulder gently, and smiled as warm as spring.

"Everything is going well. I just miss you guys a little bit."

Jiang Li smiled with her eyebrows curved, and there was a rare hint of coquettishness in her tone.

Zhou Yuan was helping with the luggage and said with a smile.

"Come on in, we're only a few dishes away from dinner, so if you two are hungry, eat first."

Jiang Li took Zou Ruxue's hand and walked into the house together.

The dining area is in the yard, but cooking is still done in the kitchen.

"It just so happens that you haven't finished cooking yet, let me see if there's anything else I can do to help."

"How can that be so? We invited you to be our guest."

Although she said so, the anticipation in Zou Ruxue's eyes was already overflowing.

Ever since Jiang Li left, the two of them have never lost contact.

Whenever Jiang Li was participating in a show outside, he would mail a portion of any delicious local specialties he came across to Zhou Ruxue.

There are also snacks made by Jiang Li herself, especially the beef sauce, which is Zou Ruxue’s favorite.

"What's the big deal? Haven't you been wanting to eat my cooking for a long time?"

Jiang Li didn't say much and went straight into the kitchen with Zou Ruxue.

Zhou Yuan and Jiang Xu were in the yard, preparing things for dinner.

In the kitchen, the busy figures of Jiang Li and Zou Ruxue intertwined into a touching picture. The two of them chatted while working, which was quite lively.

Zou Ruxue is good at knife skills. With just a flick of her knife, the carrots and cucumbers were cut into even thin strips in an instant.

Jiang Li was in charge of cooking. She skillfully stir-fried the dishes in the pot and controlled the heat just right. Every dish was delicious and fragrant.

"Ruxue, you know what, your knife skills are getting better and better. I am dazzled by it."

Jiang Li raised his head and glanced in Zou Ruxue's direction, then praised with a smile.

"No, no, your cooking skills are more admirable. This braised chicken not only looks delicious, but also smells delicious. Just the smell makes me hungry."

Zou Ruxue said this very modestly, but her eyes could not hide her admiration for Jiang Li's cooking skills.

The two chatted as they did it, occasionally talking about the funny things that happened between them as a young couple, as well as some gossip that happened in the village, which made Jiang Li very amused.

As the last dish was served, dinner officially began.

Everyone sat around the table, which was filled with all kinds of delicacies, the aroma was overflowing, and it made people salivate. "My husband and I are not very good at cooking, so we finally prepared a few dishes, and Xiao Li cooked them. You guys just eat what you like, and let's have some fun!"

Zhou Yuan was really modest when he said this, so Jiang Li helped him make a braised chicken.

The rest of the dishes on the table were prepared by the couple.

On the table, plates of delicious food are arranged like works of art, and each dish looks appetizing.

The first thing that caught Jiang Li's eyes was the plate of golden and tempting braised lion's head. The skin was slightly crispy and the meat inside was tender and juicy. Every bite was the ultimate temptation for the taste buds.

Jiang Li took a light bite, and the aroma of meat filled the air, intertwined with the sweet and salty taste of the sauce, as if instantly awakening all her memories of home.

She looked up at Zou Ruxue and guessed that this dish was made by Zhou Yuan. It was okay for Zou Ruxue to help out in the kitchen, but if she really cooked, Zhou Yuan would say it was hard to describe.

"It's so delicious. It looks like Ruxue is blessed!"

Then, Jiang Li tasted the steamed sea bass.

The fish meat is as delicate as silk and can be separated with a light push. Paired with the special onion, ginger and garlic sauce, it not only retains the deliciousness of the fish meat, but also adds a bit of freshness and crispness.

As the carnivore in the family, Jiang Xu usually doesn't have a particular preference for seafood, but this time, he couldn't help but praise it again and again.

"This fish is steamed just right and very delicious. Really good!"

Zhou Yuan was laughing so hard that he couldn't stop, and she still felt a little embarrassed.

But the cook just likes to hear them say they like the food, and it makes him feel so satisfied.

In addition to these main dishes, the table was also filled with a variety of exquisite side dishes.

The cold-mixed black fungus is crisp and refreshing, with moderate sourness and spiciness, which is both appetizing and refreshing.

The stir-fried seasonal vegetables are bright in color and retain the original flavor of the vegetables, making people feel the freshness and purity of nature.

Each dish was carefully selected and cooked by Zhou Yuan and Zou Ruxue according to the tastes of the Jiang siblings.

They knew that their cooking skills were definitely not as good as Jiang Li, a real chef, but they did it with all their heart.

A welcoming banquet specially prepared for brother and sister Jiang Li and Jiang Xu.

Zhou Yuan was the first to raise his glass and once again welcomed the arrival of Jiang Li and Jiang Xu, brother and sister.

"It's true that they're getting married soon. They're already husband and wife, hahaha!"

Hearing Zhou Yuan's words, Jiang Xu couldn't help but tease him.

Zhou Yuan is about the same age as his sister Jiang Li, but they are both getting married. In contrast, Jiang Li doesn’t even have a boyfriend right now.

But Jiang Xu was not in a hurry, he felt his sister deserved the best.

During the dinner, laughter and conversation intertwined together, forming a warm and beautiful picture.

"Honestly, seeing you two so happy, I'm really happy for you."

Jiang Li raised his glass and clinked it with Zou Ruxue beside him.

"I remember when we first met, I didn't see any signs that you two were going to be together, and in the blink of an eye, you're getting married."

"Yeah, time flies so fast."

Jiang Xu also recalled the good memories he had here last year and couldn't help but sigh.

"But it's great to see you guys are so happy now. I'm dying of envy!"

Zhou Yuan and Zou Ruxue smiled at each other, their eyes full of happiness.
