"Sorry sorry, but I do need it," Jingwei said, hurriedly snatching the rolling pin from her hand before she could lodge it up his ass. "I'm not that skilled at pulling noodles by hand, so I need this to help."
"Oh," Xue Ning said, falling silent. It wasn't as though she knew enough to argue. "Alright then. Do what you need to do."
And what Jingwei did was to expertly flatten the dough with the rolling pin, and then portion it into six even squares. He then slowly cut the portions with a knife evenly, making long thin strips. They weren't the noodles that Xue Ning's parents sold, that's for sure!
"Are you sure these are noodles?" Xue Ning asked dubiously. "They look kind of small."
"Yeah, they are kind of like pasta. A Sun Jingwei special." Jingwei said cheerfully. "And they'll expand when I cook them!"
"Fair enough."
So Xue Ning continued to watch as Jingwei began to cook for real. It turned out that Jingwei wasn't blowing hot air when he claimed to know about cooking noodles! The kitchen was soon filled with the mouth-watering aroma of spices and chicken soup.
Xue Ning's stomach growled as Jingwei continued to bustle in the kitchen, tasting and re-tasting his soup. He had to make sure everything was perfect! If his noodles were as good as the ones his mother used to make, he's sure Xue Ning's parents would have nothing bad to say.
(If they did… Well, Jingwei may have to have his first argument with his future in-laws. Or just assume that they had very terrible taste.)
Jingwei plated the noodles carefully, his eyes deadly focused as he made sure that every bowl had approximately the same amount of ingredients, save for one that had three more dumplings than the rest.
"Is that yours?" Xue Ning asked. "You must be really hungry."
"This one?" Jingwei pointed to the bowl with additional toppings and smiled at Xue Ning, his eyes forming adorably handsome crescents. "Oh no, this is for you. I heard your stomach rumbling. Can't have my future wife going hungry!"
How could Xue Ning not grab him by his neck and kiss him after such a statement? Jingwei let out a pleased sound in surprise, eagerly wrapping his hands around her waist after flinging the spoon on the table, deepening the kiss.
Xue Ning certainly found men who cooked attractive! He vowed to cook all three meals a day once they got back to their home. He wanted kisses!
His tongue entered the hot cavern of her mouth, as his hand drifted lower to knead the plump curve of her ass. Xue Ning let out a desperate little whine and grinded their lower halves together, causing Jingwei to moan loudly. He picked Xue Ning up and deposited her on the kitchen table, lips barely a hairsbreadth apart. Xue Ning instinctively parted her legs and pulled him closer by his collar, another hand firmly behind his neck.
The kitchen was soon filled with the sound of lips fervently kissing, along with stifled moans. The both of them were too wrapped up with each other to pay attention to the sound of multiple footsteps walking into the kitchen, until it was too late!
"OH MY GOD! WHAT ARE YOU DOING IN THE KITCHEN!" A woman's voice exclaimed loudly.
"NEXT TO THE FOOD!" Another voice yelled in horror. This time the voice was male.
As Xue Ning's mouth was occupied by Jingwei's own, there was no way the words could have come from her or him.
They sounded familiar, and very angry.
Oops! They were in trouble!
Both of them froze immediately, with matching looks of dread in their eyes. Jingwei reluctantly moved away, parting his lips from Xue Ning's reddened ones - and damn it, there was even a thin string of spit connecting their lips, visible under the bright lights of the kitchen. It made Xue Ning's lips look even lewder than they had any right to be!
Someone took a sharp intake of breath, but Jingwei's worldview had narrowed down to Xue Ning's swollen lips.
If they were alone, Jingwei would have leaned in again just to kiss it off. But because of the untimely interruption, both Xue Ning and Jingwei could only hurriedly wipe their lips on their sleeves. Xue Ning took a quick glance at herself - she was still dressed, even if her clothes were more rumpled than usual!
But that wouldn't be enough, for when she turned her head around, she could only splutter in shock.
Her parents were staring at her, their faces torn between horror and anger, their eyes bulging out in anger as their mouths fell open in shock.
How dare their precious daughter have the audacity to… to fornicate in their kitchen! Next to the food! What was wrong with her!
Yue Niang pointed an angry finger at her daughter, who couldn't meet her eyes.
"Yah! Li Xue Ning! What are you doing!"
"Cooking," Xue Ning muttered, staring at the counter. How she longed to turn into that pot of noodle soup!
"Cooking? What were you cooking eh? Rice?" Her mother fired a verbal barrage in return. "If your father and I didn't interrupt, the uncooked rice would certainly become cooked! Not to mention you'll be baking a bun in that oven of yours too!"
"Mom!" Xue Ning whined, her face flaming at her mother's words. If only she could turn back time! Just one minute so she could push Jingwei away in time! "Nothing happened! We cooked noodles!"
"We are old, not blind. Our eyes are working just fine!" Her father pointed out. His voice didn't sound as upset as his wife's, but his eyes were blazing with protective rage along with anger.
His daughter was blatantly lying to him! When did she become someone like this?
No - they couldn't blame their daughter. They raised her and they knew her well enough - she always had a strong distaste for most displays of physical affection and liars, so this new change in her character was definitely due to Sun Jingwei!
To think he was still willing to give him a chance! He turned out to be a lecherous pervert!
