Chapter 62: Chapter 62 Professor Chi, help!
Fu Sixiu’s long legs stood up as he slowly walked to the kitchen door.
He leaned one hand against the door frame, his slightly raised phoenix eyes gazing at Chi Gui as a low and particularly pleasant voice asked, “Is there anything I can help with?”
Upon hearing his voice, Chi Gui looked up at him with some surprise, “You know how to do these?”
Such a noble young master, and he cooks?
Why did he sense a hint of disdain?
Fu Si felt as though Chi Gui had underestimated him.
He needed to prove himself.
Besides, if even a robot could do it well, how difficult could it be?
With a light chuckle, the tassel of Buddhist beads on his wrist fell, further accentuating his slender and attractive hands, “Simple.”
Chi Gui was silent for a moment, then handed him a bunch of greens, “Then you can start by picking the leaves.”
He looked at the bundle of lush, fresh greens in his hand, falling silent.
Chi Gui’s fridge, the latest global model shipped from Capital City, could keep vegetables fresh for at least half a month.
Fu Si had never paid attention to these details; he now only felt…
These greens look pretty good, don’t they?
Is picking really necessary?
Yet, with the words already spoken, Fu Si lightly pressed his tongue to the roof of his mouth and walked over with the greens, naturally pushing Little Guai away from Chi Gui’s side and taking its place.
Boldly bullying a robot that doesn’t know how to complain.
Noticing Chi Gui’s expression, Fu Si explained without changing his demeanor, “I still have some things I don’t understand, and it will be more convenient to ask you later. It knows everything, it can assist from the side as well.”
Chi Gui wasn’t bothered about such trivial matters, and after letting Fu Si sort out the vegetables, she went to prepare the seasonings for the soup.
Fu Si truly had never been in the kitchen before. Wherever he went, he was flattered and pampered by people. When had he ever needed to do such menial work?
But now, to redeem his image in front of Chi Gui, he had no choice but to grit his teeth and do it.
He was naturally intelligent, top-tier smarts, even something he had never done before, with a little thought, he performed exceptionally well.
Chi Gui, who was nearly done preparing, took the vegetables Fu Si handed over, quite surprised.
He actually did it very well.
Subconsciously looking up, she saw Fu Si slightly tilting his head, a look of asking for praise on his face.
She hesitated for a moment, “You did a great job.”
Fu Si was instantly pleased and seized the opportunity to market himself, “There’s a lot more I can do, guaranteed satisfaction.”
Chi Gui, unenthusiastically, complimented, “That’s truly impressive.”
Then she promptly dropped the greens into the pot.
Fu Si wasn’t completely satisfied with Chi’s attitude, but watching her cook earnestly, usually so aloof and solitary, she inexplicably had a homely warmth about her.
He paused, silently chuckled, then turned and walked out of the kitchen, no longer disturbing her.
The soup was soon ready.
The vegetable soup tasted light, but seeing Chi Gui scooping it out with a spoon, Fu Si inexplicably found it very appetizing.
The two sat at the small dining table, eating in silence.
Fu Sixiu’s slender fingers pinched the spoon; he ate slowly, every movement exuding the refinement of a top-tier noble.
After the meal, Fu Si took the initiative to clear the dishes and utensils to the kitchen.
Just as he walked out, he heard Chi Gui ask, “When are you leaving?”
He’d much rather move all his belongings in tonight and stay long-term!
Playfully flicking the tassel of his Buddhist beads, Fu Si chuckled, “Driving me away right after eating, Chi, don’t you think you are being too heartless?”
Chi Gui calmly looked at him, “I’ve personally cooked for you, how much more affection do you want?”
How much more affection?
That could be a lot… ɴᴇᴡ ɴᴏᴠᴇʟ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀʀᴇ ᴘᴜʙʟɪsʜᴇᴅ ᴏɴ N0v3l.Fiɾe.net
Of course, Fu Si wouldn’t really say what he was thinking out loud.
He didn’t want to be avoided by Chi Gui in the future.
Fu Si picked up his coat from the rack by the door, “Alright then. Chi, since I’m staying next door, if you need anything, just let me know. I’ll be there anytime.”
