The mouthful of strawberry in Qianxing's mouth immediately got stuck in his throat, unable to go up or down, tasteless and tasteless.
Huo Jinbei was still waiting quietly for her answer.
After a while, she finally managed to swallow the strawberry and replied: "Did you buy it? It's average."
After saying that, she prepared to pass by Huo Jinbei without looking back.
Unexpectedly, Huo Jinbei raised his hand and stretched it in front of her.
Qianxing jumped away instantly, took two steps back, and looked at him alertly, "What are you doing?"
Huo Jinbei's slightly surprised gaze passed over her face, but his hand went straight to the bowl she was holding——
Then, he took out a strawberry and put it into his mouth.
"Hey!" Qianxing's face instantly dropped, "I washed this!"
Huo Jinbei said: "I brought this back."
Qianxing was stunned for a moment, then his attitude became even worse and he said: "So what? You have to eat it and wash it off yourself!"
After saying that, she walked sideways out of the kitchen and went straight to the sofa in the living room and sat down.
Huo Jinbei turned around and looked at her calm look. Only three words flashed in his mind -
Made progress.
He didn't walk over, but turned around and walked into the kitchen.
Qianxing was sitting on the sofa, eating strawberries from a bowl and staring at the TV. However, her thoughts seemed to fly thousands of miles away, and she had no idea what she was thinking.
Until Huo Jinbei walked out of the kitchen again and placed a plate of cut oranges on the table.
"If the strawberry doesn't taste good, try the orange." Huo Jinbei said, "This tastes very good."
After saying that, he pushed the orange in front of her, and at the same time, he stretched out his hand to take the strawberry bowl from her hand.
"What?" Qianxing shrank back again, still staring at him.
"Didn't you say that strawberries don't taste good?" Huo Jinbei said, "I thought you didn't like eating them."
"You care whether I like to eat or not? Even if I don't like to eat, I still want to eat. Why do you interfere with me?"
When Huo Jinbei heard this, he took back his hand and said nothing more.
Qianxing was still sitting there like a mountain, watching TV and tasting the strawberries in the bowl one by one.
Huo Jinbei tasted an orange, and then looked at her again, "You really don't want to eat it?"
Qianxing ignored him.
Huo Jinbei said nothing more and just sat on the sofa and watched TV.
With such a weird atmosphere and attitude, the two of them sat in the living room and watched the overwhelming... advertisements on TV.
After sitting like this for about ten minutes, there was sudden movement at the door, and then Ruan Yin walked in carrying vegetables.
As soon as she walked in, Huo Jinbei stood up immediately and came to the door to help her carry her bag.
"Arrived so soon?" Ruan Yin was really surprised to see him, "I thought I might come back first."
"I've been back for a while." Huo Jinbei answered as he helped her put the dishes into the kitchen.
Ruan Yin looked at his back with a smile, and then looked at Qianxing sitting on the sofa.
Qianxing's eyes were fixed on the TV for a moment, but her hand was grabbing something in the bowl in front of her. Ruan Yin stepped forward to take a look, but she saw that her bowl was empty. There was clearly nothing.
"Qianxing?" Ruan Yin couldn't help but call her, "What's in your bowl?"
Qianxing finally came to his senses, looked down at the empty bowl in his hand, frowned, and put the bowl on the table in front of him.
At the same time, Huo Jinbei had brought out another plate of washed strawberries from the kitchen and placed it on the coffee table in the living room.
"Did you buy strawberries and oranges?" Ruan Yin couldn't help but ask.
Huo Jinbei said: "My colleagues gave it to me. I just brought it back for you to try."
Ruan Yin reached out and took out a strawberry and handed it to Qianxing. Qianxing didn't want to take it at first, but she still took it involuntarily.
But then I heard Ruan Yin ask: "Which colleague is so caring? Is it a man or a woman?"
The strawberry Qianxing just bit into her mouth suddenly got stuck in her throat, unable to move up or down.
Huo Jinbei raised his eyes to look at her and replied, "Female."
Ruan Yin couldn't help but glanced at Qianxing secretly, and then said: "How old are you? Why do I give you such good strawberries?"
"It's from our own basic property, and I gave it to all my colleagues in the office." Huo Jinbei said, "The director of the department is about the same age as you."
Ruan Yin immediately laughed out loud, "That's quite taking care of you. You should be able to learn a lot from following her."
Huo Jinbei responded, then glanced at Qianxing again.
Qianxing was already staring at the TV. The moment he looked over, he stuffed the remaining strawberries into his mouth.
Then she clapped her hands and stood up, saying, "Auntie, Huo Jinbei is back, so I'll leave first."
"Where are you going?" Ruan Yin asked in surprise.
"I'm going back." Qianxing said, "I haven't been back to the rental house for several days. I wonder if the second landlord will think that I died outside."
"That's nonsense." Ruan Yin pulled her to sit down again, "Sit down and let me have hot pot tonight."
"No, no," Qianxing said, "I really want to go back and take a look. This month's rent hasn't been paid yet, and isn't Huo Jinbei accompanying you?"
Ruan Yin glanced at Huo Jinbei and said, "He will only be back for one day, and he will leave again tomorrow!"
Qianxing frowned slightly after hearing this.
Ruan Yin continued: "Besides, are you going to leave as soon as he comes back? Why, my son can eat people, are you afraid that he will eat you?"
Qianxing finally glanced in the direction of Huo Jinbei, bit her lip, and sat on the sofa again.
"Don't make it sound like I'm trying to avoid him on purpose." Qianxing said, "What do I have to hide from? It's just a hot pot meal. Just eat it."
After hearing this, Ruan Yin stood up with a smile and said, "Okay, then come over and prepare the ingredients together. Let's eat early today."
Qianxing stood up first and followed Ruan Yin to the kitchen.
Huo Jinbei sat for a while longer and then stood up.
Ruan Yin was adjusting the stove and pot bottom next to the dining table. When she saw him coming over, she just winked in the direction of the kitchen and said, "Go help Qianxing. There are so many dishes, I don't think she can handle them."
Huo Jinbei responded and walked into the kitchen. Sure enough, he saw Qianxing placing a yam on the chopping board and making gestures with a knife, as if he didn't know how to cut it.
Huo Jinbei rolled up his sleeves and said, "Just roll it and cut it into pieces."
Hearing this, Qianxing raised his head and glanced at him, then decisively lowered his head and lowered his sword.
Huo Jinbei originally planned to do other things, but inadvertently glanced at her knife-cutting posture, "You don't know how to cut a hob?"
"What kind of hob doesn't have a hob? Can't it just be cut into pieces?" Qianxing said coldly.
"If you cut it flat like this, you won't be able to clamp it up when the time comes," Huo Jinbei said.
"That's because you don't know how to use chopsticks." Qianxing refused to admit defeat and continued to cut the yam into cylindrical shapes.
Huo Jinbei looked at it for a few more times, and finally couldn't help but stepped forward and reached directly from behind her. He held her hand to hold down the yam with one hand, and the other hand held her hand holding the knife.
Then, he took Qianxing's two hands and showed her step by step what cutting a hob is.
