42 Seal (1/2)
Looking at the clothes she had in her hands before at the closed door of the closet, she didn't hesitate for long with her decision. She quickly started putting on the dress and underwear, before sliding the white knee socks he chose for her.
'I knew he likes my legs… He probably keeps staring at them when I'm not looking…' Dongmei thought as she finally wore the whole outfit and watched how the socks matched her.
She tried to find flaws with it, but couldn't help but praise his sense of style, 'It doesnt look that bad…' She took a deep breath and opened the door, awaiting his judgement.
With the door open, Dongmei only saw Wuxing's side profile as he looked through the window on the balcony. She quickly hopped to his side and asked curiously, ”How do I look?” She didn't know why she felt nervous, wanting his opinion badly.
”I knew you would look beautiful,” Wuxing glanced at her and nodded with satisfaction, observing her from up close. Seeing his gaze, she knew what she had to do and spun slowly, showing her whole outfit to him.
Gliding with his hands on her waist, he complimented her once again, genuinely liking what he saw, ”Your body will be great no matter what you wear. I like those knee socks, you can wear them more often for me.”
”Heh, I knew you will like them,” Dongmei giggled, confirming her previous thought and booped his nose playfully, saying, ”I guess I can wear them especially for you. It all depends if you behave nicely or not.”
”Haha okay, I will feed you with the best pancakes you had,” Wuxing laughed and picked her up like a princess, carrying her towards the kitchen. At that point, she stopped resisting to all of his teasings, so she gladly let him carry her.
”We will see about that. What are we doing first?” Dongmei asked after he put her down. There were many bowls placed on the kitchen island with various powdery substances which she couldn't recognize. The only thing she knew was flour which had the characteristic dense look.
”First you are going to clean your hands and wear this,” Wuxing smiled hearing her question and pulled out a nice apron from within a shelf, giving it to her.
”An apron? What about you? Where is yours?” Dongmei asked confused as she recognized the piece of red cloth with two strings attached to it. She didn't think she needed one and rather the opposite. It would be Wuxing who might get dirty.
Wuxing helped her tie the apron around her neck and waist, saying with a scheming smile, ”I'm not going to get dirty. You will. I'm going to stay by your side and lead you.” Before she could complain, he added, ”I will show you that you are not a bad cook. Can you trust me?”
Dongmei wanted to watch him cooking instead, but after hearing his gentle plea, she sighed agreeing, ”Okay…” He would help her anyway, so it can be a fun experience too.
After she washed her hands, he moved her in front of a big porcelain bowl and started commanding her, ”First gently pour the flour into the big bowl, before adding the rest, sugar baking powder, baking soda and salt. You have everything prepared on the side.”
