565 Cultivating Feelings (1/2)

Once again, Xiu had her way and managed to drag Ying to her own place along with Han Bohai who trailed behind.

”Sorry for intruding,” he said as he entered through the door.

Right now, Xiu was very thankful to Nora who hadn't neglected her duties behind her back and had actually bought the groceries over the weekend. Xiu asked them to make themselves at home as she rushed over to find all the ingredients she needed to make Han Bohai's favorite dishes.

”Unlike you, your sister is quite lively,” remarked Han Bohai as he looked around the apartment.

”I already know that,” replied Ying calmly.

”I'm feeling bad right now. We shouldn't be imposing on her,” stated Han Bohai. No matter how he looked at it, he wasn't comfortable with letting Xiu cook for them.

”Isn't it all your fault?” retorted Ying. ”If you hadn't insisted on having a meal with me, she wouldn't have done this.”

”I also suggested takeouts. She is the one who didn't let us argue at all.”

Ying snorted, ”You'd need another lifetime to win an argument with her. And even then you might end up just giving in to her. She knows how to have her way.”

Han Bohai nodded his head as he said, ”No wonder you gave in so easily.”

Ying stood up to go over to Xiu's side saying, ”Let me help you with that.”

Xiu pointed at Ying with the knife in her hand saying, ”Ying Jie, do you have a doubt in my skills? I can do it myself. Don't look down on me.”

”I'm not looking down on you. I just want to help you out a little.”

”No need for that,” Xiu plainly refused to take any help at all. ”Lately, I have spent some time in the kitchen with Dylan. That has truly made me repulsive of having any assistant. Although your skills are not as bad as his, I still don't want any kitchen assistant.”

”You just had to drag Dylan into this, didn't you?”

Xiu shrugged her shoulders and didn't reply. Instead, she said, ”You should go over and cultivate some feelings.”

”Cultivate feelings?” repeated Ying as she gaped at Xiu disbelievingly.

”Yes,” nodded Xiu. ”The best way to cultivate feelings is to spend time together. Didn't he say, he's gonna leave for a few days? You won't be able to see him then. So, take this precious time and go, talk to him.”

Ying looked over at Han Bohai and said, ”I really don't see any need to cultivate any feelings here.” Seeing how Xiu squinted her eyes, Ying turned to the fridge and said, ”I'll just offer him something to drink then.”
