Chapter 9

This time, I was merciful and stopped making sweet and sour tenderloin. I learned a braised fish in the menu. Today, I showed my skills.

Maybe I rolled up my sleeves too much. He laughed against the washbasin.

I glanced at him: "what are you laughing at?"

He shook his head, but still smiled. His eyes bent like a bright moon, especially good-looking: "I'll come. Fish are thorny and easy to hurt his hands."

As he spoke, he had taken off his coat and covered my head. There was a faint smell of tobacco. It was not strong and smells good. I almost couldn't bear to tear it off.

He quickly cleaned the fish, poured oil into the hot pot and fried scallions and garlic. Finally, the fish went into the pot, "Ho Ho", which made the hot oil in the pot splash out towards me.

I thought I was going to burn out a red spot. I didn't think Qiu Linyan first stretched out his hand to stop it. The oil splashed on the back of his hand and immediately showed several red spots.

"Does it hurt? I'll get the medicine oil." I grabbed his hand, a little worried, and a little... Distressed.

He pulled me back, touched my head and pressed it into his arms. With a soft smile, "it doesn't hurt. Some are more painful than this."

I looked up at him with mixed feelings: "did you often cook before?"

Xiao Lelin never cooked, so I instinctively thought Qiu Linyan didn't do it, but ignored the fact that they were just friends.

He shrugged, made no noise, turned to continue his fish.

At that moment, I suddenly wanted to hold him from behind. I must have suffered a lot in living alone.

But I never moved. First, I didn't have the courage. Second, the doorbell rang.

When I stepped up to open the door, he suddenly said, "next time I'll remove the doorbell."

I was surprised: "why?" Did the doorbell offend him?

He stretched out his hand to pick my chin and said, "because it has a big mouth, it makes me fight with you."

Tut, the doorbell says I'm innocent.

The doorbell rang so quickly that I didn't dare to delay. I wondered who it would be.

As soon as he opened the door, he saw Xiao Lelin's mother's shadowy face: "why did you open the door for so long? There is a traitor in the house?"

I always knew she didn't want to see me, but such nonsense really made my palms sweat.

Fortunately, she just talked casually. After the exclusion, she began to search inside and outside the house like the dormitory aunt who used to check hygiene.

Sweep your hand on the ornament: "there is ash." The tone is cold and disgusting.

It's not outer space. Is there anything abnormal?

But I was guilty of being a thief and didn't dare to refute. I obediently followed her.

She's obviously here to find fault. If I contradict her, I'll be right in her arms. Being a daughter-in-law makes me feel very tired.

"What is this?" I also sighed for her to go quickly, and she asked me with a sock.

I looked at it and answered truthfully, "it's Lelin's socks. I washed them in the morning and confiscated them."

She frowned and asked me in a very serious tone, "did you wash it? It's all gray. Have you washed it?"

I... that's gray.

I didn't speak. She must have found it, but she didn't blame me at all. Instead, she threw her socks into the dustbin and said, "in the future, the socks should be white. After washing, they should be dried in the sun. This is the sterilization. After drying, they should be ironed..."

Yes, my mother was right. I nodded one by one.

I admit my mistake and have a good attitude. She can't find a reason to be picky. She's still a little lost.

Suddenly, he turned his eyes to Qiu Linyan, who was already sitting at the table, turned to look at me and frowned: "Qiu Linyan, why are you here?"

I was guilty of being a thief. I was so nervous that my legs and stomach were cramping.
