Chen Ling smiled and said, “It’s okay, no blood was shed.”
“Sob… really?”
“Really, see for yourself.”
“Sob… that’s a relief. You scared me. Why did you reach out your hand? Don’t scare me, sob.”
Chen Ling pulled back his hand and patted her head gently, “If I didn’t reach out my hand, you would have lost your finger.”
“Sob~” Sui Li’er finally understood that Chen Ling had also acted to protect her. Her heart warmed up instantly, “Sob… thank you, Lord God, you’re so kind…”
〚 Ding~ Target Sui Li’er feels happy, points +10 million! 〛
Sui Li’er wiped away her tears and said seriously, “Don’t reach out your hand, just call out to me, and I’ll stop!”
Chen Ling nodded, inwardly thinking, That’s impossible. How could I give up this chance to deduct points?
So he used the same trick again.
This time, Sui Li’er was startled once more, quickly dropping the knife and grabbing Chen Ling’s hand. “Sob~”
〚 Points -1 million! 〛
“Are you really okay?”
“Don’t worry, I’m a god, even a forbidden curse can’t harm me. Can you imagine me being chopped by you?”
〚 Ding~ Points +1 million! 〛
And so, the cycle continued. Chen Ling reaching out his hand didn’t deduct points anymore. Sui Li’er got used to it, and every time he reached out to protect her, she would smile happily.
Inner thoughts: Lord God protecting me again!
〚 Ding~ Target points +1 million! 〛
Chen Ling: Damn…
“Stop!”
“Got it!” Sui Li’er’s reaction was quick, and she stopped her hand from cutting, avoiding cutting herself and seeing blood.
“Hehe~ Thanks~”
〚 Points +1 million 〛
Chen Ling: “…”
After a while, Sui Li’er finally managed to cut the meat into strips and looked at the ingredients in front of her with joy. “Look~ Hehe~”
Chen Ling couldn’t help but say, “You cut it nicely.” But please don’t cut anymore.
Then Sui Li’er washed the vegetables, heated the oil in the wok, and following the instructions on her phone, she directly poured the meat into it.
“Sizzling~”
The oil immediately started splattering everywhere. Chen Ling quickly used the system to retrieve all the oil splatters that were about to hit her. Even so, it still scared Sui Li’er, causing her to step back several steps and run to the door. Holding a ladle in her hand, tears welled up in her eyes, “This, it’s so scary! Sob!”
Chen Ling couldn’t help but laugh, “It’s okay, I’ll protect you.”
“Sob~ You… wait for me! I’ll be right back!” After saying that, Sui Li’er ran back to her room and returned wearing a towel on her head and a face mask. She also wrapped a towel around her neck and held a few pieces of cloth, looking like she was fully armed and ready to rob a bank.
Chen Ling couldn’t help but laugh at her exaggerated appearance, thinking she’s just like his mother when she’s cooking. “What are you doing?”
“Sob! I won’t be scared like this!” Then she walked to the front of the oil pan, looked inside, and immediately froze. “It’s splattering? So quickly?”
“Ah! Why? Sob~”
〚 Ding~ Target feels frustrated! Points -100,000! 〛
Chen Ling was laughing beside her, intentionally not intervening earlier just to see her anxious expression.
“Sob~ Such a waste, it’s all my fault…”
Seeing that she seemed a little upset, and the points hadn’t increased yet, Chen Ling quickly reassured her, “It’s okay, we can buy another piece of meat and cut it again. I’ll deduct the cost from your one day’s salary.”
“Okay~” Sui Li’er took off her self-made full armor with a dissatisfied look, pouted, and stood in front of the cutting board, looking at the piece of meat. She murmured softly, “Cutting meat is so troublesome.”
Chen Ling chuckled lightly and walked behind her, “Let me teach you, silly girl.”
“Hmph~ I don’t need…”
!!!
Before she could finish her sentence, she felt Chen Ling’s body pressing against her back!
He was close, his arms wrapped around her, and his two warm hands held her hands, gripping the knife and the meat together. Sui Li’er froze in place, her heart thumping “thud, thud” twice, feeling like the world had stopped, and only her heart was pounding wildly.
Occasionally, the oil splatters beside them would still pop, but their frequency was far slower than Sui Li’er’s heart.
“Um~” Sui Li’er’s body couldn’t help but tremble.
〚 Ding~ Target, Sui Li’er, emotional anomaly! Points +1 billion! 〛
Seeing her reaction, Chen Ling chuckled softly and held her cute little hand, saying calmly, “The chicken breast needs to be deboned. You should cut it horizontally and remove this white layer.”
“Then, for this kind of defrosted meat, you should slice it instead of using brute force to chop it directly. It won’t cut well that way.”
“Like this, a gentle slice, and it will be cut easily.”
“Do you see? Very light, just like when cutting a person—uh, I mean… just like when butchering a pig.”
“Sob~”
〚 Ding~ Sui Li’er, points +1 billion! 〛
She could hardly hear Chen Ling’s words, her brain had stopped thinking, and she stood stiffly in front of him, savoring this intimate moment between the two of them. Inner thoughts: Cooking together with him is so blissful!
Seeing her lack of response, Chen Ling lightly teased, “Silly girl.”
He didn’t say anything else, simply held Sui Li’er’s small hand and quickly cut the small piece of meat into several evenly sized strips.
“Wow! So fast!?” Sui Li’er finally came back to her senses, wondering what had happened just now. Her little brain had been in a daze, and she turned around happily to look at Chen Ling, “You can cook! You’re amazing!”
Chen Ling smiled and replied, “Just a little. My dad taught me.”
“Oh~ Your dad is amazing too.”
Chen Ling shrugged and said calmly, “Not as amazing as me.”
“Hehe~ I believe you.”
Chen Ling smiled and then let go of her hand, stepping away from her.
His departure made Sui Li’er feel a sudden cold at her back. “Eh? Aren’t you coming back?”
Chen Ling suppressed a smile and asked, “What?”
“Uh~ Nothing!”
〚 Ding~ Target feels shy, points +1 million! 〛
Looking at the meat that Chen Ling had cut so quickly, she thought to herself, It’s gone so fast… Couldn’t you have persevered a bit longer? Next time, I must cook a dish that requires a lot of meat!
“Eh? The vegetables need to be cut too.”
Chen Ling nodded and walked over to the pile of vegetables, picking up the knife. “Dong dong dong,” he started chopping.
Sui Li’er: ??? Hey! Without holding me?!
“Wait a minute!” She quickly stopped him.
“Hmm?”
“Uh~” Blushing, Sui Li’er walked gently in front of Chen Ling, squatted down, took a small step forward, and then stood up, squeezing through his arms.
When she stood up, she accidentally touched little Chen Ling.
〚 Still Mind Spell~ 〛
She didn’t realize it, and cheerfully reached out her little hand, placing it on Chen Ling’s hand with a happy smile. “Hehe~ Teach me, teach me~”
