Just as I was holding an egg in one hand and a tomato in the other, wondering whether to add the tomato or egg first, the oiled pan suddenly “boomed” and caught fire.
Mu Zixu appeared before me.
Before I could fully recover from the shock, he had quickly extinguished the fire and cleaned up the mess, as if nothing had happened.
Then he pointed at me and laughed, “Mi Xiaoying, I’m truly impressed. You’re really something special. Can’t even make the simplest tomato scrambled eggs and almost started a fire.”
I glared at him for three seconds, then “wailed” like the Yellow River bursting its banks, which startled Mu Zixu, leaving him at a loss.
Seeing I had no intention of stopping, he finally made a helpless face, half-begging and coaxing, “Girl, please, stop crying! I was wrong, okay?”
Hmph, I’m ignoring him!!!
Actually, not knowing how to cook isn’t a big deal.
At most, I’ll help you cook from now on, okay?
Really?
I “whoosh” stopped crying, fiercely sniffed, and stared at him with my already small eyes as if afraid he would go back on his word.
Mm!
Really!
As long as you stop crying! He nodded eagerly.
That was the first time I discovered tears could be so useful.
Hmm…
Seems like I should learn how to use them more.
Standing at the bottom of Mu Zixu’s company building, I lightly weighed the lunch box in my hand and walked with light steps, pushing open the spotless, shiny glass door.
This was the first time I had cooked for someone.
“Miss, do you have an appointment?”
Just like the receptionist in many novels, I was blocked from entering.
Mu Zixu is the head of this company. He established his own software company right after graduation and has achieved some success over the years.
I am studying at a third-tier university, choosing the easiest and most relaxed Chinese literature major. Now, I’m a freelancer, writing occasionally to earn some manuscript fees, barely supporting myself.
“Uh, I forgot to make an appointment. What should I do?” I deliberately frowned.
The lady in front of me looked very serious.
“Sorry, you’ll need to make an appointment and come back next time,” she spoke in an official tone.
