“Okay!” Mu Xiaoxiao rose to get the bowls and chopsticks.
The pot of the lid was lifted and the aromatic fragrance entered their noses.
Mu Xiaoxiao took a deep breath and her eyes sparkled.
Yin Shaojie scooped some noodles into her bowl and placed it in front of her. “Eat.”
Mu Xiaoxiao feasted happily. She didn’t expect the taste to be so good, and she ate two bowls of noodles until she was full.
“So full…”
Yin Shaojie didn’t know whether to laugh or to cry at her. “It’s almost time for bed. Why are you eating so much?”
“Because it’s delicious,” Mu Xiaoxiao said as she placed both her palms on the table and grinned at him. “Yin Shaojie, I think you have a talent for cooking. Wanna learn to cook some more dishes? We’ll be able to eat at home then!”
She actually like to eat home cooked food, but since both of them didn’t know how to cook, they could only eat out or call for delivery.
Yin Shaojie looked at her and harrumphed. “Dream on!”
It was already good enough that a young master such as him was cooking some noodles for her, but she still wanted him to cook for her everyday?
Did she not know that he was a very busy man?
“Aiyoh, why not? It’s not just cooking for me, you’re also cooking for yourself.” Mu Xiaoxiao tried to persuade him. If they weren’t sitting apart, she would have hugged his arm and acted coy.
“I don’t like to cook.”
Yin Shaojie placed the pot and cutlery into the kitchen sink before beckoning to her.
Mu Xiaoxiao didn’t know the reason for it and thus walked over.
Yin Shaojie pointed to the things in the sink and said, “Since I cooked the noodles, you’ll wash the dishes.”
Mu Xiaoxiao pouted. “Can I not? I don’t like to wash dishes…”
Yin Shaojie leaned his tall, handsome frame against a surface. Crossing his arms, he looked at her and said, “Baby, have you heard of the phrase, ‘do to others as they would do to you’?
He then added, “I don’t like dishwashing either.”
Probably no one in the entire world liked to clean dishes, right?
At first, Mu Xiaoxiao didn’t get what he meant. The gears in her head turned for a while and she then understood him.
She neither knew how to cook or liked to do it, but had ordered him to cook. If she wanted him to also wash the dishes, wouldn’t it be imposing on him what she didn’t like to do?
Mu Xiaoxiao caved. “Alright…”
Yin Shaojie nodded satisfactorily and rubbed her little head. “Good girl.”
Mu Xiaoxiao started at the dishes. Thinking about something, she sighed and said, “I’m really stupid.”
Yin Shaojie chuckled. “Why are you calling yourself stupid all of a sudden?”
She usually got riled up when he called her stupid.
Mu Xiaoxiao looked at him and said gloomily, “I just realized that we can’t really cook ourselves. Cooking takes up a lot of time, and we still have to get ingredients. We’re still students, so we don’t have so much time to spare.”
Also, Yin Shaojie seemed to be opening a company together with Ye Sijue. He still had to manage his business, and he’d have even less time to spare.
She thought that her sudden idea had been really dumb!
Luckily, Yin Shaojie was practical and didn’t agree to it.
Yin Shaojie hugged her from behind and helped her with the dishes. He planted a kiss on her cheek as a reward and said amusedly in a low voice, “If you want, we can hire an auntie to cook for us.”
“There’s no need to.” Mu Xiaoxiao shook her head. She was starting to think of things from his perspective now and realized that it would be quite inconvenient if there was a stranger in their home.
Suddenly, she looked towards him and said, “Oh yeah, I’ve got something to ask you.”
“Ask away.” Yin Shaojie was a little addicted to kissing her and his lips lingered around her ear.
“You’ve… dated so many girls. Is any one of them more special to you?”
