Huo Xu frowned, crossed the message away, and ignored it.
In the kitchen, the sound of chopping vegetables could be heard. He walked forward, stood at the door and looked at the girl's busy figure, and asked in a deep voice, "Do you want to help?"
"No, you go and rest."
Hearing the man's voice, Yu Ruanruan's back straightened out of reflex, and the look on her face was a little serious.
Obviously, the kiss in the elevator just now still makes her unable to let it go.
She really cares.
Just pretending to be free and calm.
Huo Xu held the door frame with his hand. Seeing her awkward look, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but curl up.
She thought with pleasure in her misery, that at least it proved that she didn't hate that kiss.
This is enough for him.
While talking, the phone in my pocket buzzed and vibrated a few more times.
The smile on Huo Xu's lips froze. He took out his phone and took a look. It was still a message from Yu Chengcheng. It had the same sentence structure as the previous one, begging him to go out and talk to her.
Huo Xu frowned, crossed out the message again, put the phone back into his pocket, and walked into the kitchen, "I'll help you wash the vegetables."
The man's approach made Yu Ruanruan feel extremely unnatural, her body stiffened, and she said without looking back, "No, I'll wash it myself later."
"But if you do it alone, it will be very slow and difficult."
"It doesn't matter." Yu Ruanruan said casually, "I'm not the kind of spoiled young lady who keeps her fingers crossed. I'm used to cooking for you before."
As soon as the words fell, both of them were startled at the same time.
Yu Ruanruan felt regretful and wanted to bite off her tongue.
Why bring that up?
She looks like a resentful woman who can't get love but is full of complaints...
"Pfft...really?"
Her inner voice and her slightly grumbling words just now inadvertently made the man laugh. Huo Xu suddenly lifted his lips and smiled, his phoenix eyes like a sea of stars.
He is obviously a sickly and crazy person, but his smile is beautiful and healing.
Yu Ruoruan met his smiling eyes, her eyes froze for a moment, and then her ears felt hot. She stopped her busy hands, feeling unwilling and angry for no reason in her heart.
"Laughing? Is it funny?"
"No...it's not funny." Huo Xu suppressed the smile at the corner of his mouth, but his starry eyes were shining brightly, and his smile did not diminish.
Yu Ruanruan became even more angry.
[Damn! What am I doing? In my previous life, I was a dog licker, washing his hands and making soup, but in the end I had nothing left!]
【Am I still going to support him like an uncle in this life?】
[It’s true that he saved me, but he also hurt me. He said that he wanted to take care of him and it was just a formality. Why are you so serious and careless? 】
Her little face fell, her little hands were clasped, and Yu Ruanruan said coldly, "Then come in! Wash the purple sweet potatoes and bitter chrysanthemums, and then delineate the shrimps."
"good."
Huo Xu looked doting on him.
The live shrimps he had just bought from the supermarket were still jumping around. He poured them all into the vegetable basket, rinsed them under the faucet, and then took a toothpick and started to pick out the shrimp lines.
The stove space in a Chinese-style kitchen is not large, so when two people are doing preparations together, they are very close to each other.
After Huo Xu picked two shrimps, he suddenly stopped what he was doing and said, "Ruanruan, help me tie an apron."
Yu Ruanruan: "..."
Yu Ruanruan was cutting shredded potatoes when she heard this and glanced at his eldest young master.
That clean white shirt was handmade and made to order. It was the first time I saw him wearing it today. It was really not a good deal if it was stained.
Looking at his image of a good man who works hard, Yu Ruanruan felt that not tying an apron for him would make her look stingy, and she was unwilling to tie it for him.
Do you still have to wait for someone to pick off the shrimp?
How beautiful he is!
"Forget it." The girl raised a polite smile, "Why don't you wash your hands and go out to stay. I'll do it later so your expensive shirt doesn't get dirty."
Huo Xu: "..."
Huo Xu stood motionless and didn't look at her, but the suddenly depressed aura around him showed that he seemed a little aggrieved.
The kitchen fell into a lasting silence.
Huo Xu stood there silently and continued to pick the shrimp.
Live shrimps are very active in nature. They flutter around in your hands and water stains are splashed everywhere.
Although Huo Xu handled it very neatly, his clothes still got wet.
Yu Ruoruan thought that if she didn't cooperate, Huo Xu would either go out and change clothes and come in to help, or stop what he was doing and tie an apron himself.
I didn't expect him to be so stubborn. If she didn't tie it for him, he would just stand still. He would rather dirty his clothes than tie it himself.
Yu Ruanruan is really going to be pissed off!
She stopped working on the knife, took a deep breath, and warned herself to keep her mind at ease and not to be irritable.
"come here."
She smiled softly and raised her fingers at Huo Xu.
After hearing her order, the man put down the shrimp in his hand, and his eyes brightened a little when he looked at Yu Ruoruan.
Yu Ruoruan pulled the apron off the hook next to her and said, "Lower your head!"
Huo Xu lowered his head in cooperation. When the girl tied his apron for him, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but curl up.
Seeing his suppressed smile, Yu Ruannai glared fiercely.
[You’re laughing! I’ll get angry when I see you!]
But the man's smile became even stronger. His scorching eyes were like pulling on a thread and could melt her. Yu Ruanruan's ears felt inexplicably hot again. She immediately looked away and her heart beat like a drum.
.
[Damn! This man is poisonous! Why can’t I control my heartbeat when I look at him? 】
Yu Ruoruan quickly picked up the kitchen knife and chopped vegetables, trying to divert her attention.
But the next second, the kitchen knife in his hand was snatched away by the man. Huo Xu said in a deep voice, "Are you planning to cut your own hand? Idiot."
Yu Ruanruan was stunned, and when she looked down, she realized that the potatoes on the chopping board had already rolled away.
She said angrily, "It's not all your fault! What can you do if you wear an apron yourself? It's a waste of time and trouble for me!"
"My fault."
He held the girl's left hand and saw a red mark scratched by the blade on her fingertips.
Fortunately, he discovered it just in time, otherwise the wound would have bled.
He blew on the red mark and said in a deep voice, "I'm going to find a band-aid."
"It's okay, there's no bleeding."
Yu Ruanruan took her hand out of his palm, feeling a little embarrassed.
She really didn't want to admit that she was still easily influenced by Huo Xu, but it was useless not to admit it. Facts proved that her heart would still beat faster because of him.
Whether it was because of her heartbeat or not is another matter, but this kind of emotion that was easily influenced by him made her very uneasy.
"It feels more secure if you stick it on, otherwise bacteria will get in and cause inflammation. Even if there is no inflammation, the wound will hurt when it comes into contact with water."
Huo Xu's tone was serious and he could not refuse.
While he was talking, the mobile phone in his pocket suddenly rang. This time it was not a text message, but an incoming call...
