Although it rained all night in Shencheng last night, the temperature still did not drop significantly at dusk.

"The sun is obviously going to set..."

Qin Zheng stood at the door of Tang Xu's house on the second floor, looking at the setting sun from a distance.

"That's what summer is like. Let's go home and cut the watermelon and eat it."

Tang Xu opened the door to his house with the key, and then took Qin Zheng back home.

The first thing he did when he entered the house was to turn on the air conditioner. Tang Xu put the things he had just bought out into the kitchen refrigerator one after another. Then he took out the watermelon from the refrigerator, cut it into small pieces and put it into a bowl. He and Qin

Each person has a bowl of Zheng, and the rest is for the dragon cub.

The cool breeze of the air conditioner is refreshing. The two of them are sitting on the sofa in the living room eating watermelon while feeling the coolness brought by the air conditioner. The world in the air-conditioned room is completely different from the world outside.

"If it rains more, it might not be so hot."

"It doesn't matter if it rains, as long as it doesn't thunder. Aren't you afraid of thunder?"

Qin Zheng nodded, with a somewhat regretful expression.

"Speaking of which, why are you afraid of thunder? It's not the kind of thing a normal girl would be afraid of when living alone. I mean, you should be more afraid than others."

"Maybe it's because I'm born with it. I've been afraid of thunder since I was a child."

Qin Zheng's explanation was general and perfunctory, so Tang Xu could only nod his head in vague understanding and stopped asking further questions.

Human beings' joys and sorrows are not the same, and there is no absolute empathy in this world.

"It's time to look into what's for dinner."

Tang Xu thought about it for a while and made a decision in his mind.

Just do what you say, Chef Tang is doing business online. Once you wear an apron, no one will love you.

"Tang Chu, let me help you."

Qin Zheng volunteered to try to help, but Tang Xu couldn't trust Qin Zheng, considering that Qin Zheng was a guest after all, and the type who couldn't tell the difference between salt and sugar. The shadow left by that bowl of vegetable porridge on Tang Xu continued to this day.

Zheng.

"That's not necessary."

Tang Xu refused bluntly, and Qin Zheng felt a little embarrassed.

She had not forgotten the bowl of vegetable porridge from last time. The more Tang Xu refused to let her help, the more Qin Zheng felt that Tang Xu was worried about it because of the vegetable porridge incident last time.

The thoughts of a girl are very complicated, let alone a lady like Qin Zheng who comes from the Jiangnan water town.

"I can help you wash and chop the vegetables..."

Qin Zheng muttered, twirling the chestnut hair tail between her fingers. The expression on her face looked like that of a little girl who knew she had done something wrong and wanted to try to make amends.

Tang Xu felt a little helpless. Considering Qin Zheng's face problem, he agreed to let her help a little.

Tang Chu didn't know what the newlyweds' life was like. But the back view of the two of them busy in the kitchen did have that flavor.

Tang Xu has spare aprons at home. Of course, he and his father used them in the past.

"Isn't your mother cooking at home? In most families, the hostess cooks."

Qin Zheng asked Tang Xu curiously while handling the tomatoes on the cutting board with a kitchen knife.

"It stands to reason that this is indeed the case, but my mother was born with poor cooking skills, and she is the type who can turn the kitchen into a battlefield. I still have a curved spatula at home. According to my father, it is my mother's

A masterpiece for a first time cook.”

"puff……"

Qin Zheng couldn't help laughing.

"How can it be so scary? Your dad must be teasing you."

"My mother can really do it. She is a very special person."

When Tang Xu described his mother, he used the word "special".

Qin Zheng was very interested in this, not only because he heard a few words about his parents from Tang Xu, but Chang Le also talked about Tang Xu's parents when everyone got together to eat hot pot.

At that time, Chang Le had a look of longing on his face and described Tang Xu's mother as a fairy who was free from the secular world. Qin Zheng always felt puzzled, how could a middle-aged woman be so beautiful?

Upon closer inspection, Tang Xu beside him did indeed have delicate features and handsome features.

If these appearance genes are inherited, then his parents should be very beautiful people.

"Hey, hey, look at the cutting board, what are you looking at me for? If you take a kitchen knife and cut blindly here, it will be really bad for you, right?"

The reminder from Tang Xu beside her brought Qin Zheng's thoughts back to reality from the distance. Because she subconsciously wanted to observe Tang Xu just now, she took her eyes away from the cutting board.

"Why don't you just stop doing it? If you cut it for cooking, it will be more than worth the gain. Speaking of which, I shouldn't take chances with you..."

Tang Xu shook his head, a little disappointed with Qin Zheng's performance.

How could Qin Zheng accept this grievance? She originally wanted to prove it to Tang Xu. Tang Xu's current reaction just inspired Qin Zheng's fighting spirit even more. The more Tang Xu looked down on her cooking skills, the more she had to handle everything.

, Tang Chu was convinced.

Qin Zheng's body seems to exude the light of being about to transform into a Super Saiyan. However, that is not a precursor to the upcoming transformation, but the unique light of confidence of contemporary independent women!

However, the light of confidence only flickered for three minutes.

"hiss……"

The moment her finger was cut by the kitchen knife, Qin Zheng took a breath of air.

She didn't cry out, even though her fingers were connected to her heart and the pain was heartbreaking.

There was a sound of something breaking in her heart, which was the self-esteem she struggled to maintain in front of Tang Xu.

"People, you can't force yourself, you know?"

Qin Zheng sat down obediently on the chair in the kitchen, and Tang Xu carefully put a band-aid on the injured index finger.

"Fortunately, it was just an accidental scratch and the wound was not deep. Otherwise, I would have been blackmailed by you."

Tang Xu complained while putting a band-aid on Qin Zheng. Qin Zheng looked like a deflated rubber ball, and his listless look was pitiful.

Tang Xu felt Qin Zheng's loss, so he stopped complaining and his tone became much softer.

"Does it hurt?"

He asked Qin Zheng softly, and Qin Zheng nodded silently.

Seeing this, Tang Xu couldn't bear it and reached out his hand to gently rub Qin Zheng's head.

"The hurt is on your body, and the pain is on my heart..."

"You are so fake, Tang Chu."

"No way."

"You might as well give me a breath, then maybe my fingers won't hurt."

"Huh? Huhu? What is that?"

Tang Xu had a wonderful expression on his face, while Qin Zheng pointed to his injured finger with another finger.

"Just blow on it and say huh huh, and the pain will fly away."

"If I had this ability, why would I still be here? I would go directly to the central hospital to be the director and ask him to come to my house and cook for me."

"..."

Qin Zheng felt speechless, and wanted to take advantage of her injury to let Tang Xu try to coax her plan to fail.

This guy is really a straight man...

Qin Zheng sighed, but the expression on his face was still full of disappointment. Seeing this, Tang Xu fumbled around in the kitchen cabinet for a long time and took out a small plastic funnel.

Qin Zheng looked puzzled. Under her hesitant gaze, Tang Xu held the slender end of the funnel in his mouth and pointed the other side at Qin Zheng's injured finger.

"Huh...huh...huh..."

Tang Xu exhaled loudly, perhaps because the long handle of the funnel was too thin and the airflow did not spread smoothly at the other end of the funnel. Tang Xu himself was holding it in until his face turned red.

"Tang Xu, what are you doing..."

"I was wondering if this would make my breathing more even."

Tang Xu reached out and took off the funnel from his mouth, talking nonsense, and finally couldn't help laughing.

"You must be poisonous!"

Qin Zheng reached out and clenched her pink fist and lightly punched Tang Xu on the shoulder. She couldn't help but laugh along with Tang Xu.

Seeing that his plan to make Qin Zheng laugh was successful, Tang Xu put the funnel aside.

Thanks to his wife-loving father, Tang Chu knew how to please a girl.

Qin Zheng thought he was on the first floor, but actually he was on the fifth floor.

This is called pretending to be a pig and eating the tiger.
