Chapter 726: Chapter 724: This Guy_1 Chapter 726: Chapter 724: This Guy_1 Muxia’s face stiffened.
This guy was really trying to drive her mad!
“It’s okay, if he can eat it, let him have it all.” Xu Zeming shook his head gently, showing he didn’t mind, and even praised, “I just didn’t expect Lu to be able to cook. It’s really rare for girls your age to know how to cook. You’re indeed very virtuous.”
Being complinted by the person she liked, Muxia couldn’t care less that all her cooking had been eaten by Jiang Qingchen alone. She felt as thrilled as if she had won a lottery jackpot, and was dying to jump and shout in excitent.
Ah, ah, ah!
That’s fantastic!
She felt she was not far from the position of being his girlfriend!
“Thank you, Xu. I…” Muxia was about to say sothing when she was interrupted by Jiang Qingchen.
“Muxia, the taste of this dish needs improvent!” Jiang Qingchen said slowly, chewing the food and critiquing it.
Muxia felt both angry and annoyed, and couldn’t help but glare at him with her eyes.
What was this guy’s deal? It was bad enough that he hoarded the food, but he actually criticized her cooking as diocre. Wasn’t he purposefully making her lose face in front of the person she liked?
Muxia gritted her teeth, yet her expression remained gentle—after all, Xu was still there, and she didn’t want to ruin her image in his heart: “If Qingchen thinks the taste is just average, then don’t force yourself!”
With that, she reached out to take the dish back.
Hmph!
If it’s not good, then don’t eat it!
Did he think she was so eager to feed him?
“Hey, what happened to your hand? How did it get hurt like that?”
As soon as Muxia’s hand reached out, Jiang Qingchen swiftly spotted the wound on her hand, his eyebrows imdiately furrowing tightly; the food in his mouth suddenly lost its flavor as if he was chewing wax.
Her skin was so fair and tender that even a slight injury looked extrely obvious and shocking.
Muxia answered nonchalantly, “It’s nothing, just accidentally got burnt while cooking.”
She might not care, but Jiang Qingchen slamd the table and yelled at her, “How can you be so careless? Don’t cook anymore in the future!”
Really, cooking for another man, she even hurt her own hand like this!
So much ambition!
All the anger, blood, and jealousy uncontrollably surged into his head.
Muxia, who didn’t expect him to suddenly lash out at her, was so scared that she froze, her shoulders trembling slightly.
Did he…
Need to get so angry?
Xu Zeming couldn’t help but stand up to speak for her: “Jiang Qingchen, why are you so fierce? It’s a loss for her to make such delicious food for you!”
Jiang Qingchen felt even more irritated when this was ntioned.
The food was not for him!
After giving Xu a sharp glance, Jiang Qingchen stord out of the cafeteria.
Before leaving, he threw down a sentence: “Lu Muxia, don’t go anywhere, just stay here and wait for . I’ll be right back!”
Only after he had left did Muxia co back to her senses, biting her lip with a hint of grievance.
It was her hand that was hurt, not his. Why was he so upset?
But he treated her like a sister, and it was probably natural for him to be upset seeing his sister injured.
Muxia instantly understood.
“Muxia, don’t mind him. You should know what his temper is like,” said Xu Zeming softly, comforting her on the side.
The consolation from the person she liked carried a special power; Muxia, who had already figured things out, felt even less upset now.
She nodded, “It’s okay, I know Qingchen was just worried about , that’s why he couldn’t control his emotions. I won’t take it to heart.”
“Glad you understand,” Xu Zeming said warmly, the corners of his eyes lifting slightly as his gaze fell on her hand, his brow furrowing slightly, “That hand looks pretty bad, rember to go to the infirmary and get it wrapped up later.”
“Um… I will, thank you, Xu.” Being cared for by the person she liked made Muxia’s heart thrum with excitent—she wished she could proclaim it to the whole school.
Even the wound on her hand seed to hurt less!
Just then, Jiang Qingchen returned, carrying iodine disinfectant.
“Give your hand,” he said, his voice still edged with jealousy.
Muxia was montarily taken aback when she saw what was in his hand, and instinctively asked, “Qingchen, did you go out just to buy these for ?”
Even though a trip to the infirmary would have been enough to treat the minor injury, he had hurried to buy dicine for her personally, as if afraid of any delay.
“What else?” responded Jiang Qingchen irritably.
If he wasn’t buying them for her, then who else would he be buying them for?
Muxia suddenly didn’t know what to say.
Yet her heart was filled with a strange warmth, and with it a baffling sensation.
This feeling was intangible and ineffable.
“Co on, hand it over,” Jiang Qingchen urged, seeing her dazed expression.
Snapping out of it, Muxia not only didn’t extend her hand but also hid it behind her back and even stepped back two paces, “No, I can’t, I’m afraid it will hurt!”
If Xu weren’t there, she would have just applied the dicine, and even if she ended up crying and screaming afterwards, it wouldn’t matter because Jiang Qingchen was an old acquaintance.
But with Xu around, if he saw her in a sorry state later, she would utterly lose face.
“It’s iodine, it won’t hurt,” Jiang Qingchen said, softening his tone as he saw the girl’s frightened deanor.
Because he knew she was afraid of pain, he specifically chose not to buy alcohol and instead got iodine.
Muxia checked again, “Does it really not hurt?”
“It really doesn’t hurt!” Jiang Qingchen wanted to strangle her on the spot.
With her hand injured like that, and she’s still dithering!
It could be the death of him!
Muxia, with her worries dispelled, handed over her hand.
Jiang Qingchen gently took her hand and inspected it carefully, only to see that on her hand there were five or six small and large burn wounds and a few of lighter color, probably from burns she received days before.
He pursed his lips, silently cursing her stupidity while he applied the dicine to her.
Look at the state she got herself into!
“Ouch!” Muxia couldn’t help but gasp for air, “Can’t you be gentler?”
“Serves you right! Who told you to cook!” Jiang Qingchen sounded annoyed, but his actions were notably more gentle.
After treating the wound, he clenched his teeth and lectured her, “Don’t cook anymore in the future. Hands are a girl’s second face. Could you please take better care of them?”
Muxia was silent, thinking to herself, she still planned on winning Xu’s heart through his stomach; how could she not cook?
“Indeed, junior sister, don’t do it anymore,” Xu Zeming frowned and chid in with his advice.
Since he also said so, Muxia imdiately agreed obediently, “Alright, then I won’t cook anymore.”
Jealousy bubbled up again in Jiang Qingchen’s chest.
This guy!!
When he told her not to cook, she remained silent, but as soon as Xu Zeming said sothing, she agreed right away!
Great job!
Really great job!
Inside, Jiang Qingchen was furious, wishing he could imdiately break up this not-yet-together pair of lovebirds.
