Back home, Xiao Wanqing changed her shoes and went straight to the kitchen, sorted the ingredients that were temporarily unused and put them in the refrigerator, and then sorted out the ingredients that were about to be used for dinner and put them in the star basin.
Lin Xian changed her shoes, hugged her bag of "Sophie", and shyly went straight to her room to find a place to hide it.
When Xiao Wanqing took off the apron from the hook on the wall and was about to put it on, she heard Lin Xian's voice from not far away, with a little smile: "Shall I help you?"
Xiao Wanqing turned her head to look at Lin Xian while putting on her apron. Lin Xian was wearing newly bought Totoro slippers, looking at her with a bright smile. Xiao Wanqing smiled and replied: "No need, there is no workload, I can do it by myself." She thought for a while, and then said softly: "It will be a while before the dinner is ready. If you are bored, You can visit each room. Don’t have any scruples, treat it like your own home.”
Lin Xian bent his lips when he heard the words, and his eyes were full of narrow smiles: "Could you accidentally discover some serious little secret?"
A little doubt flashed in Xiao Wanqing's clean and beautiful eyes, and she asked puzzledly, "For example?"
Lin Xian smiled "haha", but blinked. He didn't answer the question, and said, "It's better for me to stay and help you. I'd better wait for you to take me to visit the room."
Xiao Wanqing smiled slightly, seeing her insistence, she had no choice but to compromise: "Here, did you see the carrot on the table, can you help me peel it?"
Lin Xian grinned, made a gesture of saluting, and responded jokingly: "I obey! Your Majesty the Queen!"
Xiao Wanqing couldn't help laughing.
The speed of Lin Xian's peeling was beyond Xiao Wanqing's surprise. After a while, she successfully completed the task and applied to Xiao Wanqing for the next task. Xiao Wanqing assigned her the more difficult task of peeling yams.
"Are you so obedient at home?" Xiao Wanqing couldn't help being puzzled seeing Lin Xian's quick and easy peeling movements.
Lin Xian moved his eyes from Yam to Xiao Wanqing, bent his eyebrows, and said slyly: "You should ask my mother about this, I said I am good, and I am suspected of being a self-proclaimed braggart."
Xiao Wanqing laughed softly, looking at Lin Xian with admiration and love, she shredded the carrots and put them on a plate, and suddenly said with emotion: "It would be nice to have a daughter like you."
Lin Xian was startled for a moment, and then said righteously and dissatisfied: "That is, you said that my mother is so lucky to have a daughter like me, she doesn't know how to cherish it, and hates me every day."
Xiao Wanqing was successfully amused by Lin Xian's shamelessness, and said amusedly: "Aren't you selling melons and boasting in Lao Wang now?"
Lin Xian tilted his head, and the high ponytail flicked slightly following her movements. She giggled, and asked Xiao Wanqing, "Do you think I'm boasting?"
Xiao Wanqing froze for a moment, with a gentle smile in her eyes, she replied softly: "Well, I don't think so, what you said is true."
Lin Xian's smiling eyes were bent, like a Samoyed whose hair has been smoothed with satisfaction.
However, not long after, Xiao Wanqing wanted to bite off her tongue and take back those words that praised Lin Xian for being well-behaved. When Xiao Wanqing finished frying two dishes and started to process fresh river prawns, her good helper Lin Xian started to play tricks on her.
What Xiao Wanqing bought were live shrimps, a pot of shrimps that would jump around alive and stretch and shrink when cleaning. Xiao Wanqing has lived alone for many years, and her cooking skills are superb, so she handles it with ease. She took a lot of scissors, and began to cut off the long beards and sharp horns of the fresh shrimps one by one.
Lin Xian was about to wash the pods, and while turning on the tap to fill the water, he watched Xiao Wanqing with interest.
When Xiao Wanqing used a toothpick to pierce the joint between the head and the body of the shrimp, and while rinsing, smashed the tissue in the sandbag with the toothpick, Lin Xian said in surprise, "It struggled so hard, didn't it hurt? .”
Xiao Wanqing couldn't help shaking her hand holding the toothpick.
Lin Xian continued in a low voice: "Do you see that its eyes have been staring at you? They are big, black and round, and have been staring straight at you. It must be very painful."
Xiao Wanqing couldn't help following her words, lowered her head and quickly glanced at the eyes of the fresh shrimp in her hand, feeling that the hairs on her body stood on end in an instant.
Lin Xian continued: "Do you think the red thing next to its head is its blood? Are you going to pull its head off alive..."
Xiao Wanqing finally couldn't help interrupting her, her voice trembling slightly: "Lin Xian, stop talking..." She forced herself to calm down, put the shrimp back into the basin, and turned to look at the naughty girl who succeeded in pranking her. , gentle and helpless: "Okay, I want to tell you some bad news, maybe you won't be able to eat shrimp recently."
The smile on Lin Xian's beautiful and bright face froze immediately, and the next moment she realized that she had really scared Xiao Wanqing, and the joke went too far. Her eyes dimmed, she lowered her head and said embarrassedly: "I just want to tease you, I didn't mean to scare you."
Xiao Wanqing didn't blame her, just put the shrimp into the freezer, and answered her softly: "I know, it's okay, I'm timid." After speaking, in order to convince Lin Xian, he really didn't blame her, She argued empathetically: "When I was in college, I watched a movie, and there was a small segment where the anthropomorphic octopus legs were mashed into meat with a machine, because the octopus legs were too thick and the scene was too realistic. So much so that after reading it, I no longer dare to eat octopus legs, and even see octopus reflexively want to vomit.”
Lin Xian felt even more guilty after hearing this, she didn't know that Xiao Wanqing was so timid and had such poor mental endurance. She lowered her head and promised sullenly, "Then I won't scare you anymore."
Xiao Wanqing smiled softly and said, "Okay, it's all right." She changed the subject and said, "Can you peel these garlic for me?"
Lin Xian nodded.
When Lin Xian peeled and washed the garlic, grabbed it and was about to hand it to Xiao Wanqing, Xiao Wanqing seemed to sense it, and turned her head to look at Lin Xian. When the eyes of the two met, Xiao Wanqing narrowed her eyes slightly, and a faint smile flowed in her eyes.
In front of her forehead, a few strands of fine long hair slipped mischievously, blocking Xiao Wanqing's sight. Xiao Wanqing's movements were inconvenient, so she tilted her head slightly uncomfortably, trying to shake her forehead hair to the side.
Seeing this, Lin Xian pursed his lips and smiled lightly. She put down the garlic in her hand, approached Xiao Wanqing briskly and naturally, looked up at her, then stretched out her hand to try to help Xiao Wanqing fix those strands of hair behind her.
However, just when Lin Xian's hand was about to touch Xiao Wanqing's forehead, Xiao Wanqing noticed Lin Xian's movement, almost unconsciously, Xiao Wanqing reflexively took a step back.
The next moment, Lin Xian's movements were in vain, and her outstretched hand froze in mid-air awkwardly.
There was an eerie silence for two seconds. Lin Xian withdrew his hand as if nothing had happened, smiled and said, "Let me help you find a clip to hold your hair."
Xiao Wanqing went down the donkey calmly and said: "Well, the clip is in the top drawer on the right side of the bathroom, please help me get one."
Lin Xian nodded, then briskly turned around to pick it up.
In less than half a minute, she came back with a small and exquisite clip and handed it to Xiao Wanqing. Xiao Wanqing took the clip after washing her hands, combed the thin forehead hair to the back and clamped it, and joked: "If you eat hair later, don't be afraid, I just washed it an hour before you came."
Lin Xian smiled and accepted. She went back to the star basin, grabbed the peeled and washed garlic into the dish of ingredients prepared by Xiao Wanqing, and opened her mouth to ask Xiao Wanqing what else she needed to do. She looked sideways at her demure side face, opened her mouth and wanted to call her "Xiao Wanqing", but when she called "Xiao...", she was inexplicably stuck and could not make a sound.
Xiao Wanqing turned to look at Lin Xian suspiciously.
Lin Xian pulled out a smile, like a sensible child, and asked, "Aunt Xiao, what else can I do?"
Xiao Wanqing looked around at the things around the sink, and finally smiled and replied: "It seems that there is nothing that needs your help. There is a lot of oily smoke in the kitchen, you can go out to the living room to rest for a while."
Lin Xian smiled and ran out of the kitchen without answering. Xiao Wanqing smiled in relief, thinking that Lin Xian agreed with her suggestion. After all, he is still a playful child.
Unexpectedly, after a while, Lin Xian folded back, brought a small chair, and placed it at the door of the kitchen. She naturally sat down on the chair, looked at Xiao Wanqing, with red lips and white teeth, and a clean, cute and youthful smile: "Let me sit here and chat with you, otherwise you will be so boring by yourself."
After Xiao Wanqing was slightly stunned, a smile instantly filled her eyes. She no longer refused Lin Xian's kindness, and agreed: "Okay.
Lin Xian watched Xiao Wanqing's slender back quietly, bit her lip lightly, and her eyes gradually showed a bit of inquiry and doubt. Through several close physical contact, Xiao Wanqing's reaction gave Lin Xian a very strange feeling.
Although this gentle and beautiful woman always has a gentle smile on her face, she looks kind and approachable, but sometimes it seems unexpected, making people feel alienated and inaccessible
Lin Xian leaned gently on the back of the chair, staring at Xiao Wanqing's figure without blinking, and a sentence suddenly appeared in his mind: "It takes a long time to see people's hearts."
A bright smile gradually bloomed on the girl's white and bright face, and she thought with relief: Yes, she still has a long time to spend with Xiao Wanqing, which is enough for her to gradually understand Xiao Wanqing.
Although, she still doesn't know why she is full of curiosity about Xiao Wanqing.
