"The meat needs to be turned often, otherwise it'll burn, and once it's burnt, it won't taste good." Bai Qingzhu explained as she continued to cook proficiently.
"Let me do it."
Xiao Lijin was surprised himself after he said this.
Bai Qingzhu glanced at him, handed him the tongs, and smiled, "Alright, then I'll start eating."
Her smile was infectious, easily touching his heart, stirring his emotions.
While Xiao Lijin was stunned, the meat started to smoke. Bai Qingzhu stood up, quickly grabbed his hand, and said, "You can't be careless upfront. See, just a moment of distraction and the meat is somewhat burnt."
Her hand was incredibly soft; though small, it gave a warm feeling when held in his larger hand.
Everything visible from her collar at that moment allowed Xiao Lijin to see clearly, reminding him of how she changed clothes last night, her body causing his heart to feel an inexplicable heat.
"Sit down, I can handle it myself."
