peach mist bubbles

Chapter 45

Sensing his gaze, Fu Shiqi raised his eyes lightly: "Why, miss your pen?"

Su Tao subconsciously wanted to answer: "I miss your hand."

She abruptly stopped the words that came to her lips, and after taking a turn, she said, "This...is it easy to use?"

"improvise."

With the same answer as when she got all the questions right, Su Tao regarded him as a high praise.

She didn't intend to take it back, after all it was just a pen and she didn't lack it.

The maid at home is usually only responsible for cleaning, and Mu Muya cooks three meals a day by herself.

But today she was not at home, so lunch became a problem.

Su Tao glanced at the time, it was exactly twelve o'clock, she tentatively asked: "Um... I order takeaway?"

"Don't waste money," Fu Shiqi put on the cap of his pen neatly and stood up, "You should still have ingredients at home."

"Yes, yes," she looked up at him in a daze, "do you know how to cook?"

"boy."

Su Tao lay on the edge of the kitchen door, watching Fu Shiqi put on his apron and start working. "Do you need a hand?"

He nodded slightly, "Then please wash the dishes."

Being able to help Fu Shiqi, Su Tao felt much less guilty about eating a meal for nothing.

In her previous life, after she severed ties with Su Xuan, she rented an apartment with Yu Yizhou.

Yu Yizhou said that she doesn't need to work, but only needs to take care of her family, so Su Tao's daily life is cleaning and cooking.

Although her cooking skills are still a mess after two years of honing, she is still good at washing vegetables and cleaning the kitchen.

Mu Muya is a gourmet lover. Before the villa was built, Su Xuan specially asked the designer to leave a large space in the kitchen.

In the huge kitchen, the two were busy with their own work.

Su Tao skillfully washed and picked the vegetables, then stared blankly at Fu Shiqi's extraordinary knife skills.

"You look professional, have you done this before?"

He said truthfully: "I usually cook at home."

"You are quite versatile, you can cook, you have good grades, and you are good at fighting."

Fu Shiqi stopped chopping vegetables and looked up at her, "Do you think fighting is a specialty?"

Su Tao glanced at the potatoes that had been chopped into thin shreds, and felt that if she said the wrong thing, she would become a piece of fish on the chopping board, so she tensed her back subconsciously.

"Maybe not in others, but in you."

He sneered: "I didn't expect you to be quite good at flattering."

Su Tao silently clenched the hand hanging by her side, saying that she was flattering her!

"I'm not the only one who admires you, but you still think I'm too fake?"

Fu Shiqi's eyelids trembled slightly, "If it's you, it's fine even if it's fake."

"hiss--"

He was dazed for a second, the sharp blade cut through his fingertips, and bright red blood dripped out, staining the shredded potatoes red.

"I have no intention of eating tomatoes and potatoes." Su Tao was stunned for two seconds before remembering to get the first-aid kit, "Wait a minute, I'll get you the Band-Aid."

Fu Shiqi calmly pushed aside the stained potatoes and poured them into the trash can, took out a piece of paper to wrap the wound, and continued to chop vegetables.

Su Tao came back with the first aid kit in her arms, seeing him as if nothing had happened, she hurriedly stopped him: "Don't move!"

He didn't care and said, "Small injury."

"You are also good at adding new wounds every day," Su Tao dared not reach out to touch him, "I will help you with the medicine."

Fu Shiqi immediately put down the kitchen knife and stretched out his hand obediently.

Looking at his hands up close, they are even clearer than when viewed from a distance.

The five fingers are long and slender, the knuckles are distinct, white and clean.The nails are neatly manicured, unlike some rebellious boys with long nails.

"If you don't apply medicine, the wound will scab over."

The half-smile mocking brought Su Tao back to her senses, she lowered her head in embarrassment, and hurriedly found the band-aid from the box.

Su Tao took away the half-stained paper, and frowned in pain when she saw the depth of the wound.

"Are you not afraid of pain?" She raised her eyes in amazement, "The wound is quite deep."

"I can feel the pain, but there's nothing to be afraid of." Fu Shiqi lowered his eyes, watching quietly as she carefully pinched her fingers and put on the Band-Aid.

Su Tao's fingertips were warm, but when he held his index finger, he was unexpectedly pricked by the coolness.

Why is this man's hands always cold?

She withdrew her hand after finishing the Band-Aid, "It's better not to touch the water, it's easy to get infected, and I'll wash the dishes after meals."

The band-aid is a pink Hello Kitty, which makes his fingertips more pink.

Fu Shiqi slightly raised the corner of his lips, and lazily replied, "Okay."

After completing the task, Su Tao took two steps back to the door, "Then I'll go out first."

"Ah."

Su Tao closed the glass door of the kitchen, and turned on the projection in the living room while waiting.

She chose an all-English movie, a high-rated suspense movie.

Su Tao was so absorbed in watching that he didn't notice the person standing behind him.

Fu Shiqi couldn't count the number of times he saw her back, it was always a long diagonal line across the classroom.

Except for the office and the bathroom, she almost never leaves the classroom, and has been doing homework at the desk.

But now she is in front of her eyes, but she is still as far away as if she is separated by ten thousand mountains.

Fu Shiqi lowered his eyes sadly, the restrained gloom hidden in his heart showed signs of gushing out again.

Su Tao yawned, and when he turned his head, he saw Fu Shiqi standing behind him gloomy, with the gloomy look in his eyes that made people shudder.

Why did he...?
He also looked like this when he was in the alley.

She didn't know why Fu Shiqi sometimes suddenly fell into a gloomy state, but he was no different from ordinary people on weekdays.

Su Tao could only try to divert his attention, and asked casually, "Have you eaten?"

Hearing her soft voice, it was like the sun piercing through the dark clouds, and the haze gradually dissipated.

Fu Shiqi raised his eyelids, but there was silence in his eyes.

"Well, it's time to eat."

Su Tao looked at the dining table, which was already filled with excellent dishes, her eyes lit up, "Thank you."

She took out two sets of bowls and chopsticks from the cupboard and set them up, pulled out the stool and sat down first.

"It happens to have my favorite Kung Pao Chicken!"

Fu Shiqi was not in a hurry to pick up his chopsticks, and tapped his index finger on the table, "It's not just right, I asked Auntie about your preference."

Su Tao stopped moving, "You..."

"Auntie said that she wanted to play mahjong on the weekend, but considering that you wanted to decline the invitation, she asked me to take care of your lunch after she knew I could cook."

His indifferent answer pinched Su Tao's imagination away.

It turned out that it was simply because of the need of the mission, not because I wanted to know her appetite.

While Su Tao felt rejoiced, she was also a little depressed.

She took a piece of chicken and chewed a few mouthfuls, it was unexpectedly tender.

Su Tao praised sincerely: "I didn't expect your cooking skills to be quite good."

Fu Shiqi's tone was loose as usual, "I used to work part-time as a back cook, and I learned a lot from the master chef."

Su Tao knew that his family background was not good, and he never meant to discriminate against him.He is not ashamed of it, and spends his spare time earning as much money as possible.

Compared with Yu Yizhou, it can be regarded as an interpretation of what it means to rely on face but rely on hard work to make a living.
