Su Jing gently pushed Gu Jue away. She could not be so close to him any longer. Otherwise, she would die of the heat from herself.
“Let’s cook.”
Su Jing lowered her head and didn’t dare to look Gu Jue in the eyes. She quickly walked over to the sink and washed her hands.
Su Jing’s reaction was so cute. Gu Jue’s smile grew wider as he tried to savor the Su Jing’s scent. He, too, walked over and began to process the ingredients.
The original Su Jing did not know how to cook, so all the kitchen facilities were brand new and didn’t have any signs of being used.
As Gu Jue washed the vegetables, he asked her, “Sister, how do you normally eat?”
Su Jing helped him get some useful kitchen tools, “I would order takeout or just eat out.”
She was talking about the lifestyle of the original Su Jing. After all, she was the daughter of a rich family, so she did not want to cook for herself.
As for Su Jing herself, although her cooking skills were not very good, she often cooked for herself in her free time. After all, it was too expensive to eat outside, so it was better to save as much as possible.
“It’s not good for your health to always eat out, sister. From now on, I will cook something nice for you at home.”
Gu Jue broke off the cabbage leaves in his hand and placed them into the basket.
Su Jing looked at his face and recalled the flirtatious atmosphere a moment ago. Her face turned red, and she immediately turned her head away, “Sure, sure.”
Seeing her like this, Gu Jue realized his actions might have scared her, so he said in a low voice, “You looked startled. Perhaps I need to control myself from now on.”
“What?” Su Jing thought she heard Gu Jue speaking.
“It’s nothing.” Gu Jue shook his head and continued to process the ingredients.
Su Jing didn’t expect Gu Jue to be so good at cooking. There was not much she could help with.
Gu Jue skillfully cut, stir-fried, seasoned, and placed the dishes on the plate. The only thing she could do was carry the dishes and place them on the dining table.
Soon, Gu Jue finished cooking three dishes and a soup. The two of them sat around the dining table.
Su Jing held a pair of chopsticks in her hand and took a deep sniff, “It smells so good!”
She picked up a piece of meat and ate it. It was tender, fresh, and fragrant. The taste was simply too amazing!
She revealed a satisfied expression and said, “Why are you so good at cooking? It’s comparable to a chef from a five-star hotel!”
Gu Jue helped Su Jing to fill a bowl of rice and handed it to her, “If I didn’t cook for the family at home, I wouldn’t have anything to eat. That’s why I’ve been able to cook since I was young.”
Listening to Gu Jue’s experience, Su Jing suddenly felt a bitter taste in her mouth.
Her heart ached as she filled Gu Jue’s bowl with a lot of meat, “Don’t worry if you stay with me. If you want to cook, just do it. If you don’t want to cook, I’ll cook for you. Otherwise, we can go out and eat or buy some food. I won’t let you starve.”
Gu Jue also placed a lot of food into Su Jing’s bowl and replied obediently, “I know, sister. Thank you. You are the best person I’ve ever met in my life.”
Su Jing saw the sadness in Gu Jue’s eyes and was afraid that he would recall bad memories. So, she comforted him, “You still have a long life ahead of you. You will definitely meet better people in the future.”
Gu Jue suddenly lowered his head and asked in a disappointed tone, “Sister, are you rejecting me?”
‘Why did he mention rejecting him? Did they talk about anything that needed to be rejected?’
Su Jing scratched her head and asked, “Rejected? Are we talking about the same topic?”
“It’s okay, I understand. Let’s take it slow.” Gu Jue comforted Su Jing instead.
Su Jing was extremely confused.
‘What did he understand? What did he mean by taking it slow? Why was it that she couldn’t understand what he was saying?’

Gu Jue took a bite of the food, chewed on it, and swallowed it.
Time seemed to be playing at a slow speed. Su Jing watched as he swallowed the food and her throat felt dry. She couldn’t help but swallow her saliva as well.
Gu Jue bit on the tip of his chopsticks and asked her with his doe-like eyes, “Can I call you Jingjing?”
“Isn’t it nice to call me sister?” Su Jing liked when he called her sister, as he did it with a hint of teenage innocence.
Gu Jue shook his head, “No, I want to call you by your name..”
