"I can do this myself, if you're busy, go ahead and do your thing," Gu Lingling said, keeping her head down.

With Yang Yunhai here, she just couldn't relax.

A big tall guy like him standing there, she couldn't ignore him even if she wanted to.

"I have nothing to do this afternoon," Yang Yunhai said earnestly, "So tell me, how do we do this? I'll take notes."

He even took out a notebook after saying that.

Alright then, Gu Lingling really didn't know what else to say.

But she felt like crying not long after they started.

Yang Yunhai doesn't know how to cook, yet he's someone who isn't shy about asking questions. When she taught those military wives, saying it once was usually enough for them to understand, but with Yang Yunhai, you not only have to explain what each thing is, what it's for, but also why to use it that way.

In fact, if there was a scale here, he might even weigh it on the scale.

Gu Lingling felt so exhausted.

But seeing how serious this person was, she couldn't bring herself to say anything.

Instead, she felt a sense of admiration.

Serious men are the most charming.

The girl's hair, now reaching her shoulders, was tied into a little ponytail with black yarn, and the hair in front was neatly tucked into a triangular kerchief.

That way, she didn't have to worry about hair falling into the vegetables while marinating them, it was very clean.

Serious men are the most charming, and the same principle applies to serious women.

What's more, Gu Lingling's knife skills were simply like a work of art.

"Can I try cutting it?" Yang Yunhai couldn't help but feel a bit eager to try.

In the past, if someone had told him there would be a day when he'd enter the kitchen and even chop vegetables, he wouldn't have believed it.

But now, for some reason, seeing the little girl so focused on chopping vegetables, she seemed to have some kind of magic, pulling him to want to try it too.

"You want to chop vegetables?" Gu Lingling was taken aback, seeing Yang Yunhai like this, clearly, he had never set foot in a kitchen before.

Besides, doesn't this totally clash with his persona?

Clearly, he's a tall, high-class, handsome officer, clearly, an extraordinary, capable, and exceptional man, but he wants to enter the kitchen and learn how to chop vegetables from her?

This is too illogical!

"Uh...you know my stomach isn't great, often eating at the big canteen," Yang Yunhai awkwardly touched his nose.

Gu Lingling understood now.

No wonder, she had heard Liu Yating complain before about how bad the food at the big canteen was.

With Yunhai's picky stomach, enduring the big canteen's food must be tough for him.

Since he's so eager to learn, Gu Lingling was more than willing to teach him.

She just didn't realize that once she stepped into the kitchen, her whole demeanor would change, becoming extremely confident.

"In that case, I'll write down a few recipes for you, and you can follow them," Gu Lingling thought for a moment and said.

"Just knowing how to chop vegetables isn't enough to cook a meal."

"You could teach me the first couple of dishes, and for the others, write them down, and I'll try them myself," Yang Yunhai said.

He had great confidence in himself.

But when it came to learning how to chop vegetables, he found himself a bit out of his depth.

The chopping knife felt so obedient and agile in Gu Lingling's hand, but when it came to his hands, nothing felt right.

Yang Yunhai blushed, realizing he might have spoken too highly earlier.
