Dating in the Kitchen Episode 5 Recap
> Dating in the Kitchen Recap
When he came to eat again, Gu Shengnan walked out gracefully. The sip of water Lu Jin was drinking had to be caught with his hand to prevent it from spilling on his clothes. Gu Shengnan wore a blue dress, her long hair down, and was not wearing the typical waiter's suit and tie.
Speaking in a cute Taiwanese accent, she presented the bill to Lu Jin, listing the dishes consumed that day, the services she provided, and the total amount in RMB. Lu Jin signed the bill. The price of 4,000 suddenly became 5,000. Gu Shengnan righteously included the cost of makeup and hair in the service. In other words, as long as she said the new clothes were worn for him, she could charge.
In the end, Lu Jin could only reluctantly eat dessert, but after he signed the bill, Gu Shengnan even took the dessert away. This truly showed that the higher the moral standard, the stronger the devil. The situation made Lu Jin very passive. When he returned and told Meng Xinjie about it, Meng Xinjie exclaimed that it was all a scheme and leaned in to quietly give him advice.
Meng Xinjie's smug look and tone of success annoyed Lu Jin, who began a pointless rivalry. The two childishly said 'You say it once, I'll count once,' until their voices became hoarse. The next day during the meal, Meng Xinjie's first seductive tactic was to send flowers, showing he understood romance. However, the start was not smooth; the fresh roses Lu Jin had just bought were taken by Gu Shengnan to make rose jam.
Tactic number two: a man reading by the window in the sunlight is the most handsome. So the next day while Gu Shengnan was cooking, Lu Jin sat steadily behind her with a book, pretending, and deliberately tilted his chin at a nice angle. His strange behavior made Gu Shengnan want to kick him out just by looking at him. If words couldn't drive him out, then a handful of fried chilies would.
She almost choked herself out of the room as well. Meanwhile, Meng Xinjie, who was hoarse and couldn't speak, was eating alone when Xu Zhaodi unexpectedly sat down in front of him. She babbled a long string of apologies for the harsh words she had said before and politely asked for help. There was an international order open to Finland, and she hoped Meng Xinjie could be a temporary translator to help her secure this order.
Just as there are unexpected changes in the weather, people get sick with colds, and occasionally, their voices become hoarse from talking too much. He wanted to help but couldn't temporarily. But how could Xu Zhaodi believe this? She thought Meng Xinjie was petty and holding a grudge and didn't want to help her, so she grabbed her bag and left. Lu Jin's lunch was ready. Today he was having silver cod with rose jam.
While serving the dish, Gu Shengnan praised Lu Jin's roses for being really fresh, completely missing the deep furrow in his brow. When paying the bill, Gu Shengnan was nibbling on a sugar-coated haws skewer while reciting the bill. Seeing Lu Jin staring, she offered him a taste. Sugar bits got stuck to the corner of her mouth, which she didn't notice.
Gu Shengnan lifted his chin and carefully wiped his mouth for him, close enough to feel each other's breath. Breathing each other's breath, Lu Jin's mind was full of what Meng Xinjie had told him about turning the passive into active. His excuse was poorly thought out; he said Gu Shengnan also had sugar bits in her hair and imitated him by wiping her mouth too. He wiped seriously and got even closer, so Gu Shengnan ran away.
The next day, for her post-meal talent, Gu Shennan played the guzheng for him. When signing the bill, she couldn't find a pen. When she found one, it was too high to reach. Lu Jin stood behind her, wrapping his coat around her and helping her get it. Gu Shennan, with her girlish heart overflowing, ran off and hid again. Lu Jin smiled, took down the resume Gu Shengnan had pinned to the wall, and left.
Signing the bills became increasingly difficult. If one was calculated incorrectly, it was free. If one had oil stains spilled on it, she had to compensate. The progress of cooking to repay the debt was nearing 100%, but Gu Shengnan pushed him back again and again. The debt couldn't be repaid anytime soon, but Gu Shengnan was in a good mood every day.
In the end, she directly reset the debt repayment progress back to zero, completely falling into the vortex of love. Lu Jin also stayed at Gu Shengnan's house for longer and longer periods. They got along intimately and happily. The hotel acquisition was also negotiated successfully; everything was sweet and smooth sailing. One day, Gu Shennan was immersed in the vegetable market selecting ingredients when someone called her.
It turned out her resume had received a response; a hotel was interested in hiring her. This was good news, but Gu Shennan refused, giving the reason that she had to cook. The house in "Cheng Deli" successively received many packages, large and small. The room was gradually decorated more exquisitely, and many items for two people were added, making it warm and comfortable. However, Lu Jin rarely answered Li Man's calls. The Finnish businessman was across the table.
Xu Zhaodi was frantically typing on translation software, nervous and anxious. The Finn, feeling disrespected, was very angry. After cursing at the translation software, he left. Xu Zhaodi was extremely anxious but couldn't communicate, having no chance to explain or persuade him to stay, thus helplessly letting the important client slip away. Meng Xinjie, however, suddenly appeared and retained the other party with fluent Finnish. Li Man couldn't reach Lu Jin by phone, so he found Meng Xinjie.
His first question, spoken heavily, was who the woman next to Lu Jin was, Gu Shengnan. At this time, Gu Shengnan, who was working hard and happily cooking for Lu Jin, was busy yet joyful. Meanwhile, her uncle, the designer, suddenly paid a visit. Seeing that the room was full of Lu Jin's things, he had a look of sorrowing over her misfortune and being angry that she wasn't fighting back, his words carrying a questioning tone.
