What is he doing initiating everything when he doesn’t even know how to cook?
Ye Youyou was speechless for a moment. She stared at him. Without many other options, she walked up to him and snatched the vegetables from his hands. “Get the water boiling,” she commanded.
Li Jinnan could clearly tell that she was exasperated with him. He rubbed his nose and replied with a short, “OK.”
He searched around the kitchen until he found a kettle. He filled it up with water from the dispenser and set it on the stove to boil.
Ye Youyou had been focused on preparing the ingredients. When she turned around and saw that Li Jinnan had used a kettle, her expression turned complicated. She looked to Li Jinnan and asked, “GM Li, are you thirsty?”
“Not at all,” he replied.
“So, why are you boiling water?” Ye Youyou asked.
Li Jinnan’s brows creased together in a frown. He looked at her with uncertainty as he asked, “Didn’t you ask me to boil the water?”
Ye Youyou was speechless. She couldn’t find anything to say. She silently took the semi-hot water in the kettle and poured it all into a clean pot.
Watching from the sidelines as she got busy, Li Jinnan felt a little guilty and asked, “Do you need me to help with anything?”
Ye Youyou glanced at him. With an exasperated sigh, she said, “Get the bowls and chopsticks. They’re in the dishwasher.”
“OK...” Li Jinnan retrieved two pairs of chopsticks and two bowls. He laid them on the table that Ye Youyou had just wiped. He soon went back into the kitchen to carry the pot of noodles out.
The noodles had just been cooked, so the pot was hot to the touch. When his hands came into contact with the pot handles, he was caught off-guard by the heat. He immediately shrank his hands back.
Ye Youyou was startled. She quickly rushed up and asked, “Are you alright?”
As she spoke, she took Li Jinnan’s hands in hers. When she saw the burn marks that the metal handles had left behind, her frown deepened. She pulled Li Jinnan over to the sink and put his hand under the running tap.
“How could you be so careless?” Ye Youyou began to nag him as she carefully applied a little dishwashing liquid to his hand. “How can you touch a pot that was just used to cook? You’re not a child anymore, so how could you lack such common sense?”
Her touch was light and gentle. The pain from the burn hurt a little, but to Li Jinnan, it was pretty bearable. As she tended to his hands with her small and smooth ones, he suddenly felt his mood improve.
The corners of his mouth lifted imperceptibly. Li Jinnan’s dark eyes were trained on top of Yu Lili’s black hair as her scent wafted over, improving his mood at that moment even more. It was his first time being so near to a woman. Even when he had been giving Su Qianci self-defense classes, he had never gotten this close. The feeling was pretty good.
Ye Youyou’s head was bent over. She put Li Jinnan’s hands under the running water. When she looked up, she saw from the black reflective wall that Li Jinnan was staring at her. Her heart suddenly tightened, and her hands froze.
She released his hands and said, “It’ll it fine after this. Weren’t you hungry? Let’s eat first. It’ll be OK once we apply medication later.” As she spoke, she turned around and walked off with quick steps.
Li Jinnan looked at his hands and protested, “There are still soapsuds on my hands! Are there no soap suds on yours?”
Ye Youyou took one look at her hands and realized that the soapsuds were indeed still there. She had left too quickly and hadn’t thought about that. She had kind of... overreacted a little.
She felt her face heat up for some strange reason. She awkwardly hid her hands away and quickened her steps. “No!” she hurriedly replied.
Li Jinnan watched as she ran away. With a chuckle, he gently and carefully proceeded to wash his own hands.
