After Huo Yanqing took care of things and went downstairs, he heard a noise in the kitchen and walked over.
The aroma of the food, the crisp and sweet sound of the spatula hitting the pot, the slight sound of the range hood ventilating...
Although he couldn't see, his sense of smell and hearing still gave him wonderful feelings.
He could almost imagine what a girl wearing an apron would look like working in the kitchen. She must be beautiful, like a fluttering butterfly.
And all her busyness was for him.
The years are quiet and the rest of my life is long. It is enough for you to wash my hands and make soup for me.
Shu Xin finished cooking the last dish and turned around, only to find Huo Yanqing leaning casually at the door of the kitchen.
When did he come
Hey, why are you closing your eyes
Shu Xin hurried over and asked in a worried tone: "Uncle Wu, are you feeling uncomfortable?"
"No." Huo Yanqing slowly opened his calm eyes, with a thin smile on his lips. He reached out to touch Shu Xin's head and rubbed it gently, "What did you do? It smells so good."
"It's all home-cooked stir-fry. I wonder if you're used to it?" Shu Xin was almost used to Huo Yanqing's habit of petting her head.
"Get used to it."
Shu Xin, "..." How could he know he was used to it before he even ate it
"What do you want my help with?"
"No need." Shu Xin pushed Huo Yanqing gently, "Get out quickly. The smell of oil smoke is strong here. It's already cooked. Dinner will be served soon. Just go to the restaurant and wait."
"Okay." Huo Yan listened and turned around to go to the restaurant.
At the dinner table, Shu Xin asked again worriedly, "Is it really okay?"
"My shoulder is injured, not my hand." Huo Yanqing had a faint smile on her lips, and her voice was filled with a hint of teasing, "But if you want to feed me, you can."
Shu Xin's face turned red. When did she say she wanted to feed him? She was just... worried about the injury on his shoulder.
Why do you feel that Uncle Wu has become a bit... provocative now
After finishing the meal, Shu Xin packed up the kitchen and came out. Huo Yanqing sat on the sofa with one hand on the armrest of the sofa and tilted her forehead to wonder what she was thinking.
"Fifth Uncle, won't Ma Yun come over from Qinyuan?" Shu Xin has never seen Ma Yun here.
"Yes." Huo Yanqing put down his hand and patted the seat next to him, "Come and sit."
Shu Xin obediently went to sit down, but there was some distance between her, "Is it okay for you to be alone tonight?"
Huo Yanqing seemed to think seriously for a moment, and then asked Shu Xin, "Otherwise, will you stay with me?"
Come again
Uncle Wu, do you know that your lazy and casual words are very seductive
Shu Xin knew clearly that Huo Yanqing was joking, but her heart was still beating uncontrollably.
Huo Yanqing noticed that Shu Xin was silent and guessed that she was shy. He stopped teasing her and said seriously, "I'm fine. Don't worry."
"Oh." Shu Xin sat with Huo Yanqing for a while, and Huo Yanqing said, "It's getting late. Go back and have a rest early. I'll ask Yang Ji to see you off."
Although Shu Xin was a little worried, she knew that it was not appropriate for her to stay overnight, and Shu Youkang had already called her. He must be anxious about today's events. She had to go home to comfort her father and grandma. So I could only nod and say, "Okay, I'll come over to see you tomorrow."
"Song Li will be here early tomorrow morning, so don't run back and forth. The top priority is to handle your father's company properly. You only have seven days. I'll be fine here, don't worry."
"… good."
