When Masnian came in, Xiao Yingxi was trying to fry the fourth egg, and water was boiling in the pot next to her.
Toot toot…
The kettle started ringing. Masnian saw this and hurriedly walked into the kitchen, but he was still a step too late. Xiao Yingxi heard the noise and ran over to pick up the kettle.
"ah……"
The handle of the kettle was made of metal. She grabbed it and was immediately burned and screamed.
The next second, a pair of big hands grabbed her burned fingers and hurriedly came to the faucet and rinsed them with cold water.
"Brother, why did you come downstairs?"
"Xiao Yingxi, do you want to burn this kitchen down?"
Looking at the mess on the floor, there were actually broken bowls. In just ten minutes, Masnian was really impressed that this woman could ruin the kitchen like this.
"Oh, my balls."
At this time, Xiao Yingxi heard a burning smell, screamed, and hurried to the stove.
In the pot, there was another black object that could not be seen clearly. Xiao Yingxi was about to pour the eggs out of the pot when Masnian stopped her.
"Okay, stop doing it and get out."
Looking at the mess, Masnian sighed with a headache. He rolled up his sleeves and was about to clean it up when Xiao Yingxi's voice rang out.
"Brother, I can't do anything well. Do you think I'm a useless person?"
Bataaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaataaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaae it is a fool's dream to expect this man to love me even though she couldnt cook a simple bowl of egg noodles.
After saying that, Xiao Yingxi squatted down and prepared to pick up the fragments that fell on the ground.
Seeing this, Masnian squatted down and tried to stop Xiao Yingxi, but Xiao Yingxi retracted her hand and said with a bitter smile.
"Brother, are you afraid of appearing in a scene from an idol drama? Picking up pieces can still scratch your hand."
After saying that, Xiao Yingxi threw the pieces she picked up into the trash can and then said something else.
"Look, I'm fine."
Xiao Yingxi shook her hand, but the red and swollen fingers were particularly dazzling. Masnian ignored Xiao Yingxi's resistance and pulled her out of the kitchen.
"Sit here, I'll get the medicine."
Arriving at the living room, Masnian pushed Xiao Yingxi down on the sofa domineeringly, leaving these words, and then walked to the cabinet nearby. After a while, he came over with a box of burn medicine.
"Be patient, if you don't take care of it now, there will be scars here in the future."
Only then did Masnian notice that in addition to his fingers, Xiao Yingxi's palms and backs of hands were burned. He frowned, but Xiao Yingxi didn't seem to care and instead comforted Masnian.
"Brother, I'm fine. Even if I have scars, it's fine, as long as I can still draw."
Masnian ignored Xiao Yingxi and carefully helped Xiao Yingxi apply the medicine.
But the burn on the palm of her hand was too severe. Xiao Yingxi had used her whole hand to grab the kettle lid just now. Although it was only for a short time, the burn was still so severe that the skin and flesh were split open.
hiss……
Xiao Yingxi had tried hard to endure the pain, but she still couldn't help but make a sound. After Masnian heard it, he stopped his hands and raised his head, and then noticed that Xiao Yingxi's face was pale.
"Let's go to the hospital."
Masnian looked at the blood blisters that had been burned. He had to break them one by one before applying medicine. But he had just broken one, and the woman couldn't bear it anymore. He really couldn't do it anymore.
"It's okay, let's do it. I don't want to go to the hospital."
Xiao Yingxi endured the pain, preferring to let Masnian help her treat her wounds rather than going to the hospital.
Masnian hesitated for a moment, looked at the cold sweat on Xiao Yingxi's forehead, gritted his teeth, lowered his head and began to treat the wound again.
This time, Xiao Yingxi didn't make a sound, but Masnian held her hand for a while, and he could clearly feel Xiao Yingxi's body trembling from the effort, so Masnian could only speed up his movements.
Xiao Yingxi lowered her head and stared at Masnian affectionately. When she saw Masnian concentrating on applying medicine to herself, Xiao Yingxi's lips raised slightly.
"When I was a child, whenever I had a bruise somewhere, I would act coquettishly to you. I would cry non-stop when other people in the family would bandage my wounds. Only when my brother bandaged my wounds would I calm down, like
This is it now.”
Xiao Yingxi thought of all the things they had done when they were children. At that time, Masnian didn't know what Xiao Yingxi was thinking about him, and Xiao Yingxi was also ignorant. It was really beautiful at that time.
But now, thinking of this, Xiao Yingxi's bright eyes gradually dimmed, and her voice became low and bitter.
"Mas Nian, if mommy and daddy hadn't adopted you, would you have fallen in love with me?"
Xiao Yingxi suddenly asked. She always felt that Mas Nian's repeated rejection was just because of their current relationship as brother and sister.
"If I hadn't been adopted, we wouldn't have met."
Masnian gave a very realistic answer. Indeed, if he had not been adopted, he would now be just an orphan in Nanyun City. He would not have enough to eat, and he might not be alive now.
After hearing this answer, Xiao Yingxi didn't know what to say and had mixed feelings.
"So, our fate can only be that of brother and sister? Masnian, is that level of relationship so difficult to break?"
Facing Xiao Yingxi's question, Masnian's hand paused. He was struggling in his heart. How should he answer? To say that he didn't care and that he had difficulties, of course he couldn't say that.
Finally, Mas young sighed and replied.
"Luoluo, do you know what kind of pressure it will bring to the Xiao family, Yaoyuan Group, and Daddy and Mommy once our relationship is exposed? Do you know how people outside will talk about us? Daddy and Mommy will
Have you considered what kind of public opinion you will endure?"
Masnian spoke of a very real issue for most people. From brother and sister to lovers, this is not allowed in most families, even if there is no blood relationship between them.
But people with good intentions will use such things to attack their parents and the entire group.
After hearing Mas Nian's answer, Xiao Yingxi was stunned for a moment, and then asked.
"So, it's because of this that you don't want to admit your feelings for me, is it?"
Xiao Yingxi looked at Mas Nian nervously, how eager she was to get a positive answer, but Mas Nian replied firmly.
"No, I have already said that I just treat you as my sister."
After saying that, Masnian let go of Xiao Yingxi's hand. Her wound had been bandaged and wrapped with thick gauze.
Masnian warned while packing the medicine box.
"Don't get in trouble these days. I'll find a part-time worker here tomorrow. Just let her do whatever you need."
"No……"
At this time, Xiao Yingxi suddenly said such a word. Masnian was slightly stunned and stared at Xiao Yingxi with some confusion.
Xiao Yingxi suddenly raised her head, looked at Masnian very firmly, and said.
"No, you are lying. That day, I clearly felt that you were more than just a brother and sister to me. Masnian, can you please stop lying to yourself?"
