Cheng Yu kicked off her high heeled shoes when she arrived ho after a tiring day, not giving any thought to the young man who had followed her ho. She went to the kitchen and poured herself a glass of water, then slumped into the couch to take so rest.
"Are you very tired, would you like a massage?" The ignored man grabbed on this chance to make himself useful.
Cheng Yu creased her brows at him. Would he die if he was a little less stubborn? She gave him a stern look. "No. But I’m sure the veggies in the kitchen would like one."
"What?" He was confused.
She gave him an amused look. "I rember that a certain soone vehently promised to cook and wash the dishes. You don’t have to do the second part though, we have a dishwasher. So I’m only asking you to cook." Under his dreadful gaze, she added, "All the ingredients you need are in the kitchen."
She had restocked everything they needed in the kitchen so Luna would always readily have whatever she wanted to eat, but the news ca like the roaring sound of thunder to Cedric. He was just about to claim to want to go and buy the required ingredients.
Once he was allowed to go out, he would figure out a way to wiggle out of this grave he had dug himself. If worse ca to worst, he would order takeout and hide it among a pile of fresh vegetables, then he would warm it later. But now he definitely couldn’t do that!
"Is sothing wrong?" She asked when she noticed his expression that looked like the world was ending.
"Nothing..." He held back his woes. Of course sothing was wrong! He didn’t know how to cook. In fact, he didn’t think he knew what a kitchen looked like in real life.
however, he was scared that Cheng Yu would be angry with him and kick him out if she found out that he made a promise he was unable to fulfill, so he dragged himself to the kitchen. Surely, cooking shouldn’t be that hard?
...
After looking around at the foreign appliances for what felt like ages, Cedric couldn’t take it anymore. He pushed the kitchen door closed and slid his phone out of his pocket, then dialled his sister’s number.
"It must be raining actual cats and dogs. My adorable little brother finally decided to give a call?!" cedric’s sister, Han Xiaoli, exclaid as soon as the video call connected.
"Sis, I’m in trouble!" Cedric lanted anxiously.
"What happened?" Han Xiaoli looked worried.
"I don’t know how to cook." He lowered his voice into a whisper, peeking to make sure Cheng Yu was not within earshot.
"Pfft..." The latter burst into laughter. "Why do you need to know how to cook? Hold on..." She realized sothing and peeked around. The place that Cedric was in wasn’t familiar to her.
She raised an eyebrow. "That’s not our kitchen."
Cedric regretted making a video call and stuttered. "That... I decided to move out and live on my own. I’m an adult already, I can’t keep bugging dad and mum, haha!"
He thought his answer was flawless, but she was not even listening to it. She was busy checking out his background. "That’s a woman’s kitchen."
"What? How would you even know?!" he was shocked by his sister’s godly eyesight. Even he couldn’t tell a man’s house from a woman’s let alone the difference between kitchens.
The latter began to tease him. "You didn’t move in with a girl, did you? Hold on. I would know if you moved out. Are you planning to run away from ho?"
He felt his head hurt. "I didn’t and hey! It’s an ergency."
She burst into laughter as she gloated in her brother’s misfortune. "I’ll help you, under the condition that you promise not to lie to girls anymore. Everyone hates being lied to and she will not trust you anymore if you do. But I’m still curious. There is really a girl that can get you this worked up? May I know who the lucky maiden is?"
"No. You may not. Help !" He was on the verge of tears from how these won were tornting him.
When she had had enough fun laughing at him, she finally decided to be of help. "Since it’s your first ti cooking, why don’t you make her egg-fried rice? It’s a little easy to make."
"Yes yes!" He felt revived after finally hearing sothing that brought him so hope.
Under her instructions, he picked out the required ingredients and set them on one kitchen counter.
"Prepare the ingredients first so you don’t have to rush through cooking." She advised. "Take a bowl and break three eggs into it."
She had just finished speaking when he grabbed a bowl from the utensils he had prepared and broke the egg into it... as well as the shell...
Han Xiaoli facepald. "You don’t even know how to break an egg? I really should have bullied you a little more when we were younger."
Cedric looked into the phone screen pitifully like a child admitting his mistakes, so she couldn’t bring herself to scold him anymore.
She instructed him to dispose of the shells and then went to her own kitchen and broke an egg, patiently showing him what to do.
He followed suit, doing it right this ti. When he set the eggs aside, she let out a sigh. "We still have a long way to go."
She then instructed him to take a asuring cup and the glass jar labelled [rice].
Just as he placed the jar on the kitchen counter, it slid and fell onto the floor, shattering into pieces and spewing rice all over the floor.
"Are you okay? What happened?" Cheng Yu appeared faster than he imagined, and his first reaction was to try to hide the ss.
She didn’t even care about the spilled rice and checked him over instead. "Are you..."
She paused halfway through her statent when she noticed the ongoing video call.
Han Xiaoli, on the screen, looked stumped. It took a while before she caught her voice. "Cedric, what the heck are you doing with that woman?!"
