Chapter 51: The Kitchen Explodes.

Chapter 51

The next day, Gu Zhi woke up very early.

When he got up, everyone else was still asleep.

He felt that he couldn't just eat and live here for free at his sister's place, he still needed to do something.

So he went to the kitchen, intending to make breakfast for them.

He looked around the kitchen and found the rice bucket.

He saw that people usually eat steamed buns or porridge for breakfast.

He didn't know how to make steamed buns, but he roughly knew how to cook porridge.

He washed the pot, added a full pot of water, then added half a bucket of rice.

Then after covering it with a lid, he went to make a fire, stuffing a lot of firewood into the stove.

But he didn't know why, the fire just wouldn't light up.

It went out after a while, then went out again!

He had been messing around in the kitchen for nearly half a hour, the entire kitchen was filled with thick smoke, choking him and making him cough incessantly, his whole face was blackened.

Yu Yifan's room was the closest to the kitchen, he was practically choked awake.

"Cough cough cough...is there a fire?" Yu Yifan thought there was a fire outside, he hurriedly got up, got dressed and ran out.

"Cough cough cough..." He covered his nose, realizing the thick smoke was coming from the kitchen, he thought the kitchen was on fire, and hurriedly ran over.

As soon as he entered the kitchen he was nearly suffocated by the thick smoke.

He saw Gu Zhi standing in the thick smoke, coughing violently.

He hurriedly ran over and pulled Gu Zhi.

"Gu Zhi, what are you doing?! Why is there so much smoke?!"

"Yu Yifan?" Gu Zhi squinted at him, "I'm trying to start a fire, but I don't know why it just won't light!"

Yu Yifan took a look, the stove was stuffed full of firewood, packed in very tightly.

"......"

Yu Yifan was speechless, "If you stuff in so much firewood, of course it won't light easily!"

He pulled Gu Zhi aside, sat down, and took out a lot of the firewood, leaving only a little bit, and it lit up immediately. Fôllôw new stories at novelhall.com

Gu Zhi watched in a daze, "How...how did you do that?"

"You can't add in so much firewood all at once, you have to add it slowly bit by bit, you packed it in too tightly, that's why it wouldn't light." Yu Yifan said.

Gu Zhi nodded thoughtfully, "I see, so that's how it works. I'll remember that."

With Yu Yifan's guidance, the fire finally started, and the smoke in the kitchen gradually dissipated.

"What are you cooking?" Yu Yifan asked casually.

"Porridge."

"Then keep cooking it, I'll go to the bathroom first."

"Half a pot??? Don't you know rice expands when cooked?"

Yu Yifan hurriedly scooped some of the rice out with a ladle.

Gu Zhi was stunned, it seemed like he had caused trouble for his sister and the others.

He had just promised his sister yesterday that he wouldn't cause any trouble.

Yet today he nearly burned down the kitchen, and made a huge mess of the place.

Would sister think he was useless and drive him away?

Thinking that Sang Li would drive him away, Gu Zhi became rather anxious.

He immediately ran in front of Sang Li, "Sis, I'm really sorry, I didn't do it on purpose! I only wanted to do something for you, I didn't think I would mess up so badly, I'm sorry...don't drive me away okay?"

Seeing his flustered state, Sang Li's heart inexplicably softened.

She glanced down at his hand and knitted her brows, "Didn't I tell you not to get your hand wet for now?"

Gu Zhi looked down at his hand, the white bandage wrap was all wet.

Gu Zhi unconsciously bent his fingers, not saying anything.

"Come with me." Sang Li turned and left the kitchen.

Gu Zhi obediently followed behind her.

Sang Li went to Gu Zhi's room, took the medicine she had bought yesterday from the table.

"Come over here and sit." Sang Li said gently.

Gu Zhi walked over somewhat uneasily and sat down next to Sang Li.

"Sis, I'm really sorry..."

Sang Li didn't say anything more, she grabbed his hand, undid the white cloth wrap, and applied medicine on it again.

As their fingers made contact, Gu Zhi's gaze flickered involuntarily.

"Since you don't know how to cook, don't try to do it." Sang Li suddenly said.

"I can learn, really, sis what do you like to eat? I will be sure to earnestly learn how to make it!" Gu Zhi quickly said.

Sang Li glanced at him, "You don't need to treat yourself like a slave, even though I bought you, you only need to treat me like a friend."

"Sis, do you look down on me?" Gu Zhi asked somewhat aggrievedly.

"Is telling you to treat me as a friend looking down on you?" Sang Li asked back.

Gu Zhi lowered his head a little, "Then why won't you let me repay you?"

"Is nearly burning down the kitchen your way of repaying me?"

"......"

He knew it, sister must look down on him now.

He really was so useless, he hated himself so much.

Could it be that he was this useless before he lost his memories too?
