On September 13, Audrey's first Friday after school started.

As soon as school was over, Audrey rushed back to the dormitory, picked up her backpack that she had prepared long ago, and ran out of the campus.

In less than twenty minutes, Audrey appeared in front of the door of the "House in the Forest".

She took out the key, opened the door and found that there were lights on in the house, lilies were inserted in the white porcelain vase at the entrance, and water vapor remained on the white and tender flowers.

Audrey's eyes turned, she gently placed her backpack on the ground, took off her leather shoes, carried one in one hand, and tiptoed in.

Audrey, who held her breath, first came to the living room, but there was no one. When she turned her head and looked towards the dining room, she found that there was also a vase with lilies on the dining table, and the tableware was neatly arranged.

Audrey smiled and leaned into the kitchen with her hands. She saw Evan standing in front of the stove, holding a spoon in one hand and sending it to her mouth, as if she was tasting the taste. There were already several plates of prepared dishes on the table next to her. The styles of dishes were all that Audrey had never seen before, which made her a little curious.

However, at this moment, no matter how strong the curiosity is, it cannot match the sweetness in her heart.

Audrey carefully placed her shoes on the ground and saw the opportunity. When Evan put down the spoon and did not turn around, she ran behind Evan with a few steps, then jumped up and jumped onto his back, clasped his arms tightly on his shoulders.

Evan was startled, but the familiar laughter made him know immediately who the prank was. He immediately held his backhand on Audrey's thigh so that she could not fall.

"Evan! I miss you!" Audrey exhaled as she exhaled and said in Evan's ear.

After saying that, she kissed Evan on the cheek.

Evan and Audrey faced each other, letting her lie on their backs, and replied softly: "So too!"

At this moment, a pink atmosphere enveloped the two of them, immersing them in the resonance of emotions and longing, forgetting the world and forgetting themselves,

Audrey is very light, and if she can, Evan is willing to carry her for the rest of her life.

After the two got tired of it for a minute longer than a few hours, Audrey came off Evan's back. After returning to the kitchen door to put on her shoes, she looked at the prepared dishes and asked curiously: "What's the way to do this?"

Evan replied without replying: "This is Chinese cooking, I learned it from Chinatown."

Actually, of course not, but this is a lie of kindness. I believe Audrey wouldn't mind. However, in order to make Chinese food, he did go to Chinatown and buy pots and seasonings.

Evan doesn’t know how to cook Western food, and he doesn’t want to learn it. The skill of cooking in Chinese cuisine is pretty good because he has been single for many years. Evan is stewed with peanut rib soup, which is the last dish. After putting it out of the pot, he came to Audrey and introduced it to her one by one: “This is sweet and sour pork ribs, this is sweet and sour tenderloin, this is sweet and sour fish, this is fish-flavored shredded pork…”

Audrey asked strangely: "Why are they all sweet and sour?"

Evan said: "Don't you like sweet food very much? I want you to try it. If it matches the taste, it will be better for you to make it in the future."

Audrey really likes to eat sweets. She once ate four chocolate cream snacks in one go. I don’t know if it was because she was not full for a long time when she was a child.

However, even so, her weight still couldn't rise, and other girls would probably be envious of her.

Without waiting for Virginia, Evan and Audrey had the first staple food in his life, rice and Chinese dinners for stir-frying.

Virginia said before going out today that she would be back very late.

Evan prepared the chopsticks, Audrey tried it, but she gave up after finding that she couldn't use it well. She looked at Evan who was so skillful in using the chopsticks and said in surprise: "Why do you even learn to use chopsticks so quickly!"

Evan was very proud on the surface, but in his heart, how could he not be happy after using it for decades?

Among the dishes made by Evan, Audrey likes sweet and sour pork ribs the most, and she doesn’t like sweet and sour fish the most because of the thorns.

As a big foodie, Audrey not only enjoys the food when she sees delicious food, but also does not forget to learn how to cook it. However, Evan did not intend to teach her, but agreed with her, "In the future, you cook Western food, I cook Chinese food, and when you want to eat Western food, I cook, how about it?"

Audrey thought about it and agreed to Evan!

Although Chinese food is delicious, it is too troublesome to make. Moreover, due to the incomplete kitchen conditions, the oil smoke is very large, so Evan is reluctant to let Audrey be smoked and smelled of oil smoke!

Speaking of which, Evan also had an unexpected discovery because of making this Chinese meal.

As for Chinese food, rice is indispensable. To cook rice, Evan subconsciously went to the electrical appliance store to buy a rice cooker, but found that there was no such thing in the store. After going to several electrical appliance stores, Evan finally confirmed that this thing had not been invented yet.

As an amateur electrical appliance collector, this was an unexpected discovery for Evan. As a small household appliance, the rice cooker has never been in his collection directory, so he did not discover this fact until now.

In fact, machines that use electricity to cook appeared very early, and Japan was used in his army in 1937. Household rice cookers were not invented by Toshiba Company Yoshitada Minami (there is also legendary that it was Sony's co-founder Fukuda, but the author here believes in the former because from a time perspective, it is obvious that Nanyuda was in front). However, the rice cooker was not mature at this time because its containers were made of wooden and could not control the temperature. The automatic rice cooker that was truly mature in commercial was not launched by Toshiba Company until 1956.

After learning that the rice cooker had not yet been released, Evan's "inventor" heart was ready to move again.

Although Americans eat less rice, the majority of East Asian people eat more. More importantly, with an electric rice cooker, it will be convenient for them to cook in the future.

Although there may not be many opportunities to cook by yourself...

...

After the first double weekend in Los Angeles, Evan and Audrey will be separated for another five days.

This made Evan particularly miss the era of mobile phones - Audrey's dormitory had no phone calls, and it was impossible to praise the phone.

Audrey told Evan about Abbot's invitation and asked for his opinion. Audrey herself was a little hesitant. She wanted to go, but she was afraid that it would affect her dancing and study. After all, she finally entered the school.

However, Evan encouraged Audrey to go because judging from the information given by Abbott, her role will not be the protagonist, and even if she wants to perform on Broadway, it will not have much impact on her studies.

Secondly, this is also a rare big stage that can accumulate performance experience, and Audrey should not give up easily.

Moreover, Audrey's ability to enter art high school was thanks to Abbott's recommendation letter, so he should not be refuted.

This last point convinced Audrey, who decided to accept Abbott's invitation.

After Audrey returned to school, Evan immediately transformed the garage of the "House in the Forest" into the "Evan Second Laboratory Rice Cooker Project Team".
