Upon arriving at Shanyu Pavilion, Xiao Linye had property management call a courier to take the packages. Ye Yuning wasn’t around when he filled out the address. Her first priority upon returning home was always a bath. Having spent some time together recently, Xiao Linye had more or less figured out that Ye Yuning was an extremely disciplined person. That’s great! Someone capable of managing their own routine could naturally manage their future life well. If that person knew about this, perhaps they could feel a bit more at ease. A painful image of blood and despair flashed through his mind, and Xiao Linye’s chest tightened, making it hard to breathe. When Ye Yuning emerged, she saw Xiao Linye looking somewhat pale. She took a step forward. "What’s wrong? Are you feeling unwell?" Xiao Linye snapped back to reality instantly. Meeting her worried gaze, for a moment, that look overlapped with one from his memories. He recalled how familiar she had seemed the first time they met.Aside from their gender, there were just too many similarities between them. Seeing he didn’t respond, Ye Yuning asked again, "What’s actually wrong? Do you need to go to the hospital?" Looking at her anxious expression, Xiao Linye fully returned to the present. He reached out, gently tousled her soft hair, and asked softly, "Ningning, what would you like to eat tonight?" Ye Yuning was speechless. Are you really fine? Then why are you so pale? She was still quite worried. "If you’re not feeling well, let me do the cooking." "Do you even know how?" "I... guess so?" Ye Yuning wasn’t too sure about cooking. It wasn’t something she had done often before.But having lived with Xiao Linye for a while and watching him cook every day, she had a rough idea of the basic procedures. Hearing her uncertain tone, Xiao Linye said, "I’ll do it. Let’s just keep it simple tonight, okay?" "Then you teach me, and I’ll do it," she insisted. She could see that Xiao Linye’s complexion really wasn’t good. Besides, she wasn’t the type to exploit others; she was perfectly capable and willing to learn. It was like the hangover soup she’d made last time. Although it hadn’t turned out great, life was long, and there were many things one naturally had to try. Seeing her so insistent, Xiao Linye nodded. "Alright." The two of them went into the kitchen together. One good thing about the layout at Shanyu Pavilion was its very large kitchen. Unlike her place at Xiangti. Even though it was a villa, the kitchen there wasn’t very spacious; an extra person would make it feel crowded. The kitchen was spacious, so Ye Yuning moved a stool over for Xiao Linye to sit on. "What kind of noodles do you want?" Ye Yuning asked. Xiao Linye had cooked many kinds of noodles for her recently, and they were all delicious. Xiao Linye looked at her standing uncertainly in the kitchen and, after a moment’s thought, suggested, "How about tomato and egg noodles?" That seemed to be the simplest option. Ye Yuning nodded. "Okay." She quite liked that dish; its sweet and sour taste was very comforting. She took tomatoes and eggs out of the fridge. Before she even started, the ratio of ingredients she’d taken out made Xiao Linye almost unable to resist stepping in himself. One tomato to five eggs? Was she serious?! Sensing Xiao Linye’s gaze on her was a bit odd, Ye Yuning raised an eyebrow. "What’s wrong? Is something amiss?" "Get one more tomato, and put three eggs back." "Oh, okay!" Ye Yuning nodded obediently. But just as she picked them up, she added, "Actually, I also want two fried eggs. Do you want any?" Xiao Linye paused. She had no cooking skills, yet she wanted to fry eggs?But seeing the earnest look on her face, he suppressed his doubts. "Alright. Then get one more tomato." Ye Yuning obediently took another tomato from the fridge, washed it, and chopped it up. Whenever Xiao Linye prepared tomatoes, he usually chopped them finely, and they tasted excellent. Once everything was ready, Ye Yuning looked at Xiao Linye. "Should I fry the eggs first?" "Mm, prepare the ingredients for the stir-fry first." Ye Yuning still knew how to beat eggs. Scrambled eggs with tomato was a relatively simple dish; she should be able to handle it.But frying whole eggs... The moment she cracked the eggs into the hot oil, there was a loud "TSSSS!" as oil splattered everywhere. This startled Ye Yuning so much that she instinctively backed away, ready to flee the "battlefield." However, she had barely taken a step back when she bumped into his chest. "Ah, I..." Before she could finish, a strong hand gripped her waist, and with a swift turn, he had moved her behind him. Her face instantly turned beet red. By the time she regained her senses, Xiao Linye had already taken the spatula and flipped the eggs. But it was too late. The eggs, now burnt black on one side in under five seconds, bore witness to Ye Yuning’s first failed attempt at frying them. Her already flushed face turned an even deeper shade of red. "Let me do it," Xiao Linye said. "Go wait outside." Her fear of hot oil was beyond his expectations. He wondered how this girl had managed to survive before he came along. Ye Yuning looked at the charred eggs in the pan, somewhat embarrassed. "Sorry, I don’t know how they got burned." He had done it the same way before, hadn’t he? Why was it so different when she did it?
