Chapter 170: More shopping (2/2)

”Oh, okay.” Hannah went back to cooking. Alex resumed cutting as well. He finished the onions and proceeded to cut the potatoes. He still felt awkward cutting them but kept at it.

Suddenly, ”OUCH!” Alex screamed.

”What's wrong?” Hannah immediately came to him after hearing him scream.

DRIP DRIP

Droplets of blood fell onto the marble floor. Hannah then saw that Alex had ended up cutting his finger while cutting the potatoes.

”Oh, no. Are you okay?” she rushed to check his finger. Thankfully, it was just a shallow cut and he was fine.

”Yeah, I'm fine. I just cut a little.” Alex held his finger up high.

”Let me get some bandages,” Hannah said as she left the room and came back with a small bandage and put it on his finger.

”Honestly, you should have told me you were bad at it if you couldn't cut potatoes. I would've done it myself.”

Alex's finger had now stopped bleeding after the bandage was put on. ”I know how to cut them, Sister. Or rather, I knew it. It seems I have lost my muscle memory. Probably because I spend so much time in the game,” he said.

”I think so too. You should exercise every day after playing the entire night. You probably have a really bad lifestyle right now with only playing games and sleeping. ” Hannah chided quite a bit.

”I guess so,” he said.

”Alright, go and rest. I will do the rest,” she said as she took over the potatoes and started cutting them. Alex went outside to the lounge room and sat there watching the TV once more.

”Have I really gone that bad with the rest of my skills as well?” he wondered. He continued watching TV, flicking through the channels but nothing fun was on it. So, he took out his new smartphone and started setting it up.

After a while, he finally managed to get it working properly. When it finally worked, he was absolutely floored at how fast it was. He switched the number from his old phone and started using it.

”Cmon, the food is ready,” Hannah shouted from the kitchen.

”Coming sister,” Alex said and went to eat his food.

The food was delicious, much better than the ones made in the cafeteria. After eating, they went to the clothing stores on the next side of town and bought a bunch of clothes for themselves.

Just as they were returning from their shopping, their furniture was delivered as well. They opened the door for the delivery people and had them set up the bed and the other furniture.

Alex put his clothes inside the closet and finally, after a long day's work laid on his bed.
