"The casserole is a heat conductor. At this high temperature, it's easy to get burned if you touch it." Qingyou explained. He was still processing the ingredients, so he naturally didn't notice the girl's strange behavior. "The soup isn't ready yet, and the fire is strong underneath. If I lift the lid now, I'll get burned by the steam inside."
Is it that serious?
Gui Yanxinmei stepped back in fear.
It turns out that cooking can also be dangerous
Today is the first time she knows
I looked up at the young man beside me. He was peeling potatoes in the sink. His skillful and quick technique showed a calm and relaxed manner. His profile was handsome and calm, and his jawline was impeccable.
It seems that no matter what the other person does, he can do it perfectly, and his face always has a calm and indifferent expression.
Pursing her lips, she suddenly wanted to do something.
Seeing the washed onions on the chopping board, Gui Yanxinmei hesitated for a moment, walked over slowly, and took out another kitchen knife from the shelf.
Qingyou glanced at it, and realized the intention of this young lady. He sighed softly and advised, "I'll take care of this kind of thing. Go back to the living room and watch TV."
After all, she is a wealthy princess who has never been involved in housework. What should she do if she accidentally hurts her hand?
But when Gui Yanxinmei heard these words, she translated them into another meaning.
Are you afraid that you might end up doing more harm than good? Humph! Who are you looking down on?
Gui Yan Xinmei lowered her head, neither responding nor looking at the boy. Instead, she held the onion with one hand and picked up a sharp knife with the other hand and began to cut it carefully on the chopping board.
Seeing her clumsy and fearful method, Qingyou shook his head, then looked away and continued to busy himself.
The eldest lady was stubborn with him, so what could he do but let her do what she wanted.
However, this rare silence did not last long.
Just then, Qingyou was about to heat up the oil in a pan when he heard a slight cry of pain.
"what happened?"
Putting down the spatula, he turned sideways and saw the girl pinching a finger with a cut on it. Bright red blood was flowing out of the wound like a miniature stream.
"Tada-kun..."
I looked at him pitifully, my eyes wet, like a wounded little fox, "It hurts."
The ending tone lowered, mixed with grievance.
Qingyou frowned, then walked up to her and stretched out his other hand to take out the spare medicine box from the cupboard.
"Why are you so careless?"
After opening the lid, he immediately grasped her wrist, then gently wiped the wound with a wet tissue.
The boy was tall and slender, and was a bit taller than her, so he bent over to wipe her.
In the quiet air, the distance between them was very close, very close, so close that she could smell the scent of green grass coming from each other again.
Her thick eyelashes drooped, and her thin lips under her high nose bridge were light red, like a peach dripping with water.
Gui Yanxinmei's breathing suddenly stopped, and that unknown emotion once again attacked her body.
She could clearly feel the temperature on her face rising, and she was so panicked that she just wanted to pull her hand away and escape quickly.
"Don't move."
The boy held her tightly, his head still lowered, still concentrating on the wound on his finger.
"Be good."
The voice was light yet magnetic, and the doting tone fell into her ears. As if bewitched, Gui Yanxinmei stood there in a daze, allowing the other party to clean her wounds.
a moment later
"It's done." After putting a Band-Aid on the wound, Qingyou raised his head and met the girl's gaze. "Don't touch water with your fingers for the next two days."
Gui Yan Xinmei did not respond, but just stood there blankly, as if she was distracted.
Are you stupid because of the pain?
Qingyou frowned slightly, then stretched out his hand and waved it in front of her.
The girl came back to her senses all of a sudden, looking at the handsome young man in front of her, she quickly pulled her hand away and tried her best to calm herself down.
"?"
Qingyou looked at her in confusion, not understanding the reaction of this young lady.
Gui Yanxinmei naturally shifted her gaze and said coldly, "You go ahead and do your work. I'll go to the living room to watch TV."
After saying that, he turned around, opened the door and left.
The young man was left alone, bewildered.
——Why is she so cold again? How did I offend her?
No, at least I helped you treat your wound, can’t I give you a bag of potato chips before you leave? If not, milk will do!
Holy shit! !
Chapter 59: Can't Escape
Ever since he helped Gui Yanxinmei deal with her wound, his attitude has become cold again. Not only did he go back to his bedroom after dinner with a cold face, he even stopped watching the TV series he was following.
This made Tada Kiyoyu doubt...
Was my plan to secretly eat snacks while watching TV with her discovered? !
No way...
While washing the dishes, Qingyou's expression became more and more solemn.
"Tongtong, can you come out and analyze it for me?"
He transmitted the message in his mind, wanting the system to explain to him the reason why Gui Yan Xinmei was angry this time.
It is a super-intelligent system that was recently upgraded. All its capabilities have been improved to a certain extent. It is better to let it give you suggestions than to think about them alone.
Unfortunately, the system ignored him, and he remained silent because he didn't want to call me dad.
——Tsk, what’s the big deal? It’s just calling you daddy a few times.
Qingyou sighed slightly, convinced by its inexplicable stubbornness.
Forget it, if you don't want to come out, then don't come out. Anyway, Miss Gui Yanxinmei's sudden mood changes have been going on for a long time, and there is no need to go to great lengths to waste your brain cells for her.
He shook off the water stains on his hands and walked out of the kitchen, deciding to put this trivial matter behind him.
You have to understand that the most important thing now is to take a quick bath and then conquer the four corners of the Gufeng Continent.
Today, without the interruption of that lazy Gui Yanxinmei, I can finally play a game properly!
So cool! ! !
***** *****
Tonight, the moon is very round
The Milky Way stretches across the stars, filling the night sky.
Even in the dead of night, the sky is still full of twinkling stars, like countless silver beads densely embedded in the dark night sky.
The streets were dark and silent, with only a few houses in the tall buildings still having their lights on.
Of course, one of them is Qingyou, the great writer from Zuan who has become addicted to the game without even realizing it.
"What's the use of a petty person?"
"Rotten wood cannot be carved, and a wall of dung cannot be built!"
"Don't make noise and disrupt your vision and hearing"
"A frog in a well cannot talk about the sea, and a summer insect cannot talk about ice"
"I have never seen such a shameless person"
Under the orange light, Qingyou had a stern look on her face, and her slender five fingers tapped out regular and melodious strings on the keyboard.
His lips were tightly pursed, his eyes were deep, and his whole body was filled with a powerful aura, like a peerless keyboard expert who looked down upon all living beings.
Qingyou sneered as he watched the person in the chat box fall silent after being scolded by him.
"Heh, are you trying to show me some literary skills?"
Does he really think that he got the title of Keyboard Emperor for nothing? He is truly an ant who does not know his place.
He stopped what he was doing, picked up the boiled water on the table and took a few sips, his handsome face showing a look of satisfaction.
Oh, it's so nice to play games, clear dungeons and curse at others.
After getting through the snowy night in my second year of high school, it would be nice to rent a small house and live like a stay-at-home.
As he was thinking this, he glanced at the screen inadvertently, and saw someone suddenly @ him in the chat bar, with a few big fonts attached.
"You? Dead"
Oh my god
?They are not mass-produced, and you dare to challenge me? ! !
Anger was rising in his heart. Qingyou put the cup aside, put his hands on the keyboard, and typed back quickly.
Damn it, if I don't blast you to death today, I'll be sorry for your parents' ten minutes.
It was late at night and he was fighting hard when a "crunch" sound suddenly occurred without any warning.
——How did the door open?
Qingyou was a little confused and tilted his head to look over there, but the scene he saw made him speechless.
The girl was wearing a white lace suspender nightgown, standing at the door holding a pillow, looking at him with misty eyes.
"Tada-kun..."
Qingyou's mouth twitched slightly, "Miss Guiyan"
Sure enough, he knew...
"Are you having a nightmare again?"
Look at this expression that seems like he is about to cry. Doesn’t it look like he just had a bad dream?
Gui Yan Xinmei did not answer, but stared at him with a pair of wet eyes, her cherry-colored lips pursed, and her long eyelashes trembling slightly, like a wounded little animal.
——What’s with that pitiful look in his eyes? He’s not going to sleep with me again, is he? What about the game? The trolls in Gufeng Continent haven’t been subdued by him yet.
Qingyou left the stool and walked over, trying to keep her voice as soft as possible, "Go back and have a good sleep. You won't have nightmares twice in one night. Don't worry, don't be afraid."
——Please, please go back quickly. You can sleep with me anytime you want, but not today. I still have to deal with the trolls.
But the thoughts in my mind are always very different from the reality
It would have been better if he hadn't said this. Once he said it, the fear and helplessness that had been suppressed in the eldest lady's heart instantly poured out like a flood.
"Tada-kun..."
Crystal clear tears fell from her eyes and slid across her fair skin. Gui Yan Xinmei dropped the pillow in her hand, trotted over and hugged him.
A muffled and helpless voice came from my chest, "I'm really scared..."
The clothes behind him were grabbed tightly, and he felt a huge force around his waist as if a giant python was entangled in it. Qingyou fell silent.
——To be honest, I am also afraid of you...
It's possible that I could be killed by you accidentally.
With a stiff smile, he hesitantly stretched out his hand and tentatively touched Gui Yanxinmei's head.
The girl rubbed against his chest, showing no signs of discomfort.
Seeing this, Qingyou gradually felt relieved, and her caressing became more gentle, making her tone sound softer, "It's okay, it's okay, I'm still here."
The girl responded softly, and when he touched her head gently, her body gradually stopped trembling and her emotions began to stabilize.
Qingyou couldn't help but be amazed at this change.
