312 Its Hot In Here (1/2)
”You both bond over your common misery, I'm gonna go check up on Xiu. She must be really tired, I really shouldn't have listened to her,” said Zhao Wei to Ying and Dylan before she tried to pass through them to leave.
However, before she could, Ying held her arm. ”Where do you think you're going? Stay here with your husband. He's already jealous enough that you're not giving him time and attention.” She winked at Qiu Jiayi before patting her chest. ”Leave everything else to me. If I'm here, no fear.”
”It sounds more like, 'If I'm here, you can only fear.'” chuckled Xin Zimen at his own thoughts.
”I thought only I heard that,” said Qiu Jiayi before both of them pursed their lips to hide their laughter.
Meanwhile, Zhao Wei nodded her head and pushed her son as well, ”You go with her as well.” Saying that she finally sat down beside her husband who placed his arm around her waist almost instantly.
”Uhmm... Just to be sure, should I close my eyes or should I just leave the room?” asked Xin Zimen looking at Qiu Jiayi and Zhao Wei.
”Zi!” Qiu Jiayi said his name harshly while glaring at him.
”I'll take that as a warning to leave the room,” said Xin Zimen and immediately joined Ying and Dylan who were enjoying at the way Xin Zimen teased his best friend even at this age. While Ying and Dylan turned towards the kitchen, he went upstairs.
”It'll be traumatic, I'm telling you,” said Dylan to Ying as they approached the kitchen.
”Don't worry, I'm quite immune to such lovey-dovey acts,” reassured Ying to Dylan with a confident stance. Seeing her confidence, he nodded. Suddenly, he felt her hand on his shoulder while she said, ”By the way, it can't be more traumatic than seeing you in a pink apron.”
Dylan looked down to find that he had forgotten to take off the pink cute apron that Xiu put on him after blackmailing him for a while. No wonder everyone looked at him so weirdly. Dylan wanted to say something but held back since they were now standing in the kitchen.
However, both Dylan and Ying were standing still at the door looking at the scene playing before their eyes.
Inside, Xiu was now sitting at the counter with her legs dangling carelessly while Darren was the one holding the ladle and doing whatever she told him to do. Xiu was happily munching on the melon seeds that she found while staring at her boyfriend who looked so cool even when he was just stirring the Tangyuan soup.
”Is it done?” asked Darren with furrowed brows. He wasn't that good with Chinese food so he really couldn't tell.
Xiu who was busy daydreaming woke up from her trance and smiled at him, ”Yes, turn off the stove now.”
