Chapter 11 Part 2

To mention it, she had a selfish motive which was she also wanted to taste Ye Shu Wei’s cooking skill…. Moreover, it was already ten days since the last time they met each other. She seemed to have a bit of urge to meet him. She even silently approved Yu Sheng’s suggestion.

Yu Sheng looked at the rearview mirror to see the silent Bei Er Duo, he said: “Anyway everyone is familiar with each other.

Bei Er Duo pretended to be unaffected by it, she still pretended to appreciate the view outside. Of course, this time her brain was full of an image of certain man.

The new apartment is clean, spacious, and has adequate lighting. Tang Li extremely likes it. She moved around the apartment together with Bei Er Duo for two times, then sat down on the sofa. Just in time, there was a bell. Yu Sheng opened the door. Yu Shu Wei stood in front of the door.

Bei Er Duo’s gaze focused on the man with relaxed clothes. 

He was wearing a well-ironed cream color t-shirt and deep gray casual pants. He was holding a plastic bag.

Ye Shu Wei was silent for a while, then came inside. He changed his clothes. Yu Sheng was smiling at him and patting his shoulder. He guided him to the kitchen, they were just silent.

After a while, Yu Sheng expressed he wanted to relax after getting the assistant: “The lunch problem is done with him. We could just sit and wait.”

Tang Li shook his head: “Isn’t it too impolite? Let me go the kitchen to see if he need any help.”

Yu Sheng stopped her: “You shouldn’t. You still have an injured head.”

Bei Er Duo took the opportunity to go to the kitchen. She said: “Let me help him. You guys just take a rest for a while.”

She entered the kitchen. She noticed that Ye Shu Wei was cutting the vegetables, and he was wearing an apron. He looked very calm.

“Do you need any help?” Bei Er Duo asked, she could see the various ingredients on the kitchen counter. 

“Could you do it?” He asked.

“It is just washing the vegetables, it is easy.”

“Then wash the potatoes and tomatoes.”

Bei Er Duo washed her hands, and folded her sleeves. She started to wash it.

Ye Shu Wei finished with his cutting. He took a chopsticks and skillfully picked slices of fish and put it inside the pan.

There was no communication inside the kitchen, it was only full of sound of boiling water and steam. They seemed to be so harmonious and compatible in this moment.

“How could you learn your cooking skill?” Bei Er Duo started the conversation.

“During the high school, I attended a boarding school. The food there was really inedible. So during the weekend when I was home, I would go to the market to buy veggies and bring it back to the dorm to put in the boiling pan. I would just stew it and eat it,” He said, “Slowly I am able to cook.”

“You are so awesome.” She praised him.

He turned his head to see him, and boringly said: “What is awesome about it?”

“Majority men couldn’t cook, they just can cook a quick-freeze dumpling.” It was the same like Chief Yu.

“That’s because they are lazy.” He lowered his gaze, and lowered the heat. He put some spices inside the fish dishes, “Everyone should be able to cook, if they want to do it.”

“But it would be different taste. There is some people that willing to do it, but they couldn’t.”

He listened to it, then took a little bowl from the kitchen counter. He picked one slice of the fish and passed it to her. “You could taste it.”

Bei Er Duo took it and the chopsticks. She bit it.

He was waiting for her reply.

“This… really is your cooking?” Bei Er Duo said, her eyes was full of sincere worship, “You cook better than my father.”

“Except you and me, do you see other person here?” He meant, if it isn’t me who cook it, then who else?

Bei Er Duo finished it. Her corner of lips were oily. Ye Shu Wei couldn’t stand to see it. He took a tissue and wipe it for her. 

The tissue was so thin that she could feel the hot temperature of his hand and she just stayed silent and looked at him. Her mind was completely blanked.

The time he retreated his hands, his gaze went down and fell on her chest part. He noticed that there was a slight oily mark on her shirt. He passed another tissue to her: “You have an oily part there, you wipe it by yourself.”

Bei Er Duo took the tissue, turned her body, and lowered her head to see it. 

… 

Is it her illusion? Before it seemed that he calmly inspected her body and she was completely didn’t avoid it. It seemed they accustomed to it…”

Suddenly she felt the kitchen to be really small. It was too small that with her extended hands they could touch each other.

The time she turned her body back, he was switching off the stove. He placed the cooked fish on the plate.

She just continued to wash the tomatoes. The time she finished, she put it on the chopping board. He was retreating two steps when her body leaned forward and head down. When she raised her head, her nose touched his back. He placed down the bowl, and turned his body. He looked at her.

“You bumped your nose?” 

“Right, but it is okay.” She tried hard to control your erratic heartbeat.

“Em, but why is your face be so red?” He examined her cheeks.

“…. Because it is too hot.”

“Here is hotter.” He reflected on it, “You can go out. I could do it by myself.”

“You don’t need any help?”

“No need.” He stood straight, “With you standing here, I would lose my concentration.”

“If not I would stand on the side, help you to take the plate?” She felt sorry for not helping him.

He took the tomatoes that she washed before, and cut it into place: “You are visible everywhere, let me unable to neglect. So just go out.”

“….”

Okay, she withdrew.

Waiting until Bei Er Duo was out, Ye Shu Wei boiled the potato soup, and stirred fry some dishes. It was the first time for him to feel twitchy. When he was done, he went close to the window, and calmed himself down. When he was calmed enough, he served the dishes out.

The only thing he knew that he never had experienced it before.
