”Cough cough, Xiao Zihang, Xiao Zihang, you're smart and smart, but I never thought that one day you would actually fall for this pot of porridge, right? You've really lost a lot of face.”

He lamented and mumbled to himself. No one would be able to turn a pot of rice porridge into a pot of black. In the end, he could only pour the failed product back into the trash can.

”What are you doing?”

She thought that she had forgotten to turn off the fire, so she hastily ran to the kitchen. She did not expect that the kitchen was already filled with smoke, and Xiao Zihang was standing in the smoke, whispering to each other. There was no need to ask, she could already guess from the smell, that Young Master Xiao was not good at cooking.

”You … You're awake? ”

When Xiao Zihang heard the voice, he hurriedly turned around. He looked at Tang Zhen with a little bit of guilt and arrogance, but he intentionally moved the pot of porridge behind him, not wanting Tang Zhen to see it.

After all, he was also a man. In front of the people he liked, he had to respect his image.

”You … No need to come over, I can handle it. You should go back and rest, dinner … Dinner will be ready soon. ”

Xiao Zihang looked at the messy kitchen, and said somewhat guiltily. Even he did not believe his own words, with his current standards, it was unknown when he would even be able to cook.

”Let me do it.”

Tang Zhen walked into the kitchen. The burnt smell in front of her still made her choke heavily, but in order to prevent Xiao Zihang from losing face, she endured.

She walked in front of Xiao Zihang, but Xiao Zihang had sworn to protect the pot of porridge behind his back, so that Tang Zhen would not see it.

”Why are you hiding? I was just trying to turn on the oil smoke engine. You forgot to turn it on.”

Tang Zhen explained. She held back her laughter and looked at Xiao Zihang. Taking advantage that he wasn't paying attention, she instantly pulled the pot out from behind his back.

”Tang...” Tang Zhen... ”

It was already too late for Xiao Zihang to stop it. He looked at the pot of pitch black stuff, and supported his forehead with one hand, almost burrowing into the pot without finding a hole.

”It doesn't matter, keep up the good work.” Tang Zhen forced a smile and said.

”If you want to laugh, laugh. You don't have to resist. I'm just not good at cooking. Am I proud of myself?”

Xiao Zihang said haughtily. Even at this time, he was still trying his best to maintain his composure.

”Puff …” ”Haha …”

Tang Zhen did not want to laugh, but she could not help it. She bent her body and laughed, thinking about how Xiao Zihang was obviously such a smart person, although he was usually a sloppy guy, but his work was still stable, she did not expect him to fall flat on his face here.

Xiao Zihang originally wanted to struggle on the edge of death, but seeing that Tang Zhen was laughing so happily, he momentarily forgot what face he had lost.

”Tang Zhen, this is the first time I've seen you laughing so heartily.”

Unknowingly, a hint of a smile had also appeared on the corner of Xiao Zihang's mouth. He looked at Tang Zhen with that kind of expression in his eyes, and couldn't help but extend his hands to pick up the strands of hair beside his ears.

Tang Zhen looked at Xiao Zihang in astonishment. It was probably because she was used to being on guard that she uncontrollably avoided Xiao Zihang's attacks.

”That... You can go and rest first, I'll cook for you. ”
