Chapter 163 - She nearly lost her own life. (1/2)

Hearing Deming's sudden eruption, the other two looked at each other in confusion.

After few seconds, Lifen shrugged her shoulders nonchalantly and then asked Yuzhe to walk toward the dining table where, Deming was already waiting for them.

The dining table was for four with two chairs on each side. Without much thinking Lifen walked and sat beside Yuzhe, leaving him alone at the other side.

Though Deming has never thought about this, but now seeing her sit on the same side with Yuzhe his fist clenched under the table and he gritted his teeth to control his anger and insecurities.

”Brother Yuzhe, guess what have I cooked for you”, sha asked in an innocent bubbly smile.

This was the side of Lifen, Deming has never seen before. She was behaving so cute around this brat. How could he not get irritated.

Being a man, he knows very clearly what effect innocence and cuteness of a girl has on them. It can instantly turn them on. He too always has same effect around her and he has to really try hard to suppress himself.

”It must be something I like. Since you always 'CARE' for me so much”, he intentionally emphasized on the wore 'care' and looked at Deming with smug.

It wasn't from him, what that his objective behind. It was clearly to annoy him.

”Yeah, but you answer wasn't that perfect so you got a penalty point and I will get an advantage. I will have my ice cream today as an advantage and yours share of ice cream as your penalty”, she beamed with happiness.

Yuzhe couldn't help but laugh and then gently pulled her cheeks, ”You have really become rebellious and quick witted against me. I need to be more careful around you now”.

They seemed to totally ignore the other person sitting on the table, leaving Deming fuming in anger. He didn't expected these show early in the morning.

Though he knew that Lifen merely consider Yuzhe as her mentor, brother and friend but still he can't help the insecurities in his heart.

He angrily stabbed fork on the table to make them notice him. ”Can you please focus on the breakfast?”

Lifen gave off a smile to him and then again turned to Yuzhe informing him, ”I have cooked your favourite Japanese breakfast. Taste it and let me know how is it?”.

There was miso soup, grilled salmon, poached eggs, steamed rice with some some side pickles, ajitsuke-nori (seaweed) and some warm water for green tea. The breakfast was more salty and high in protein. Just a perfect pack of food to start the day with.

”Thanks for your help, LiLi”, Yuzhe said with gentleness as she scooped the food and placed on his plate.

Then did the same for herself.

She was about to put a spoonful of rice in her mouth when Deming clear his throat and said with a slight irritation, ”What about me? Won't you serve me?”

”Huh? Why would I? Don't you have you hands? Help yourself”, she said and then immediately put the spoon in her mouth, pleasantly enjoying her food.

Yuzhe let out a low chuckle looking at Deming, as if adding salt and lemon on his wounds. Then he too followed the suit and started enjoying food.

Deming was on his edge. The closeness and their ease in each other company was irking him. She was behaving so caring towards Yuzhe, unlike him.
