When the at was almost done grilling, Yun Qi wrapped a piece in lettuce leaves and handed it to her.
Ye Lingran was startled, staring at the grilled at in his hand, her heart skipped twice, and she raised her hand to take it: "Tha... thank you."
"Eat it while it’s hot to keep its original flavor." However, Yun Qi didn’t give her the wrapped at but looked at her with a deep smile, seemingly suggesting that she could just open her mouth directly.
Ye Lingran looked into his eyes filled with laughter, her charming face blushing with two obvious red hues. She couldn’t dare to et his gaze, her eyes diverted, mouth slightly open, feeling a bit embarrassed as she gently chewed the grilled at he handed over, raised her hand to tuck her hair behind her ear, and heard his warm voice whispering beside her: "How does it taste?"
"Hmm, delicious." Ye Lingran covered her mouth, nodded her head, and replied softly.
"The grilled tofu here is also delicious; you should try it too."
"Hmm, okay."
Halfway through eating, seeing that it was always him grilling the at, Ye Lingran put down her chopsticks and reached out to grab the tongs. But before she could touch them, Yun Qi had taken them away silently, cleaned two pieces of at, and clipped them into her bowl. Seeing this, Ye Lingran moved her lips: "Let do it! I see you haven’t eaten much." Saying that, she reached out to take the tongs from him.
"It’s okay, no need."
"I’ve had enough too, let handle what’s left." Ye Lingran couldn’t bear to have him always grilling while he wasn’t eating much himself, feeling a bit guilty.
Yun Qi chuckled and put down the tongs: "Hold on, I just put them up, they still need more ti."
Ye Lingran was speechless, looking at the three pieces of steak and mixed at on the grill, indeed not needing to be turned right now, so she said nothing more and silently picked up her chopsticks to eat the grilled at he had just helped her with.
In the end, those three pieces were not moved by her; she didn’t even get the chance to touch the tongs. However, by the conclusion, the waiter brought a serving of sweet soup, and while collecting the plates, accidentally pushed the water jug on the table. Yun Qi instinctively reached out to grab it, but the scissors were right next to the jug, and as the jug toppled, the scissors turned. As Yun Qi reached for the jug, the back of his hand grazed the pointed scissors, resulting in an instant wound, and bright red blood quickly seeped out, yet he managed to firmly catch the jug.
"Ow..." The pain on the back of his hand made Yun Qi instinctively furrow his brows and take a sharp breath, but he didn’t throw the jug aside, instead, he steadily placed it back on the table.
"Are you okay?" Seeing this, Ye Lingran quickly got up, looked at the blood seeping from his hand, quickly drew two paper towels, stepped around the table, grabbed his wrist, her expression showing so distress.
"I’m sorry, I’m sorry, I didn’t an it, I wasn’t careful... I’m really sorry." The waiter panicked and repeatedly apologized to Yun Qi, holding a tray and bowing several tis, his tone showing great urgency.
Yun Qi’s expression had changed due to the incident, but seeing Ye Lingran grabbing his hand and looking worriedly concerned, he couldn’t help but raise an eyebrow, a faint curve lifting at the corner of his mouth as he looked at the apologetic and anxious waiter, speaking softly: "It’s okay, no problem."
Ye Lingran rarely frowned and glared at him: "It’s bleeding so much, and it’s still okay?" After speaking, she looked at the waiter, not particularly aggressive, but appearing rather serious, entirely unlike her usual gentle and quiet deanor. Her tone was soft: "Does your restaurant have dical alcohol and bandages?"
"I’m so sorry, we have bandages but... no alcohol, really sorry, I didn’t an to."
"Then could you please bring the bandages?"
"Okay, I’ll go right away."
As the waiter left, Ye Lingran withdrew her gaze, eting Yun Qi’s eyes filled with laughter. Ye Lingran was surprised and imdiately realized her tone and attitude earlier might not have been right, suddenly becoming flustered, hurriedly let go of his hand, and explained: "Well... the scissors were used to cut grilled at, there’s oil and various seasonings on them, your wound needs alcohol and dicine to disinfect, otherwise it will get inflad and fester later."
