Chapter 102: Cooking Guidance

Lin Beixiu finally settled on the price and packed the big fish.

“What else do you want to eat?”

Qin Muxue shook her head. Besides the fish, she hadn’t even mentioned anything, but Lin Beixiu had already bought it for her. What else could she want?

Seeing this, Lin Beixiu casually bought some other things and took her back home.

“Oh, what about Mantou?”

Mantou: Now you remember me.

“They’re at home, don’t worry, Mom is taking care of it.”

Qin Muxue would never admit that she didn’t want a cat to disrupt their time alone.

In the kitchen, the two of them helped out again. Lin Beixiu couldn’t chase her away and could only watch her indulgently.

“Alright, be careful with the knife.”

“I’ve improved, just watch.”

Lin Beixiu’s mouth twitched. “Did you ever set the kitchen on fire during the holidays?”

Qin Muxue said indignantly, “No, do you dare give me the spatula and let me cook?”

“Really?”

Lin Beixiu still had some doubts. Stir-frying vegetables should be simple and safe, right?

“Come on.”

“Okay.”

Qin Muxue glanced at Lin Beixiu standing far away, turned her head without a good mood, and focused on preparing the vegetables.

Lin Beixiu watched as she stood far away, poured oil slowly, then suddenly poured the vegetables in, causing them to jump far away.

Except for a small sound, nothing happened.

Lin Beixiu was startled by her actions and instinctively hugged her waist when she jumped over.

Lin Beixiu felt her waist was so slender. Even though it wasn’t the first time he felt it, he still easily got lost in his thoughts.

Before Qin Muxue could enjoy the moment, Lin Beixiu pushed her away.

“I’ve cleaned the pot, there’s no water to splatter the oil.”

Qin Muxue felt embarrassed and a bit disappointed.

“I’m not scared.”

Lin Beixiu hesitated for a moment and asked worriedly, “Did you get splattered with oil while cooking last time?”

“No, don’t worry.”

Seeing this, Lin Beixiu didn’t say much and guided her to continue stir-frying the vegetables.

After two dishes.

“Little Beixiu, don’t just talk, come and guide me hands-on.”

Lin Beixiu helplessly rubbed his forehead. “How should I guide you?”

“You stand behind me and teach me step by step.”

“Use more force here, be careful not to flip it out.”

In the kitchen, Lin Beixiu stood close behind Qin Muxue, holding her hand and stirring the vegetables together with the spatula. Qin Muxue followed passively, like a primary school student just learning to write.

Lin Beixiu didn’t want to, but… he couldn’t refuse.

“Is it okay now? If you still can’t learn this, you should start over.”

Qin Muxue hadn’t finished calculating, but Lin Beixiu stepped back, feeling a bit regretful.

“I’ve learned it all.”

Lin Beixiu quickly said, “Serve the dishes, I’ll handle the fish.”

“Okay.”

Grandpa Zhang helplessly shouted from the living room, “You two young people have plenty of time to show affection. Now, I’m hungry, hurry up and cook.”

Both of them blushed upon hearing the voice.

After dinner, Lin Beixiu had just finished washing the dishes and returned to his room, only to find Qin Muxue already lying on his bed.

“Older sister, you really…”

Lin Beixiu sat on the stool, looking at the egg tarts she brought, and took a bite.

“Hurry up, go to bed, I’ll take you out for a walk in the afternoon.”

“Sis, spare me, okay?”

Lin Beixiu twitched his mouth. He really didn’t feel like moving.

Qin Muxue looked mischievous and satisfied lying on the bed.

“You’ve gained weight again, Little Beixiu, this won’t do.”

Lin Beixiu retorted, “Forget it.”

“By the way, I told Grandpa that I’ll stay here for two days, hehe…”

Lin Beixiu: !!

“You’re going too far.”

“Hehe, Grandpa is happy anyway.”

Qin Muxue was as happy as a child who got candy, and Lin Beixiu, looking at her, could only smile helplessly.

“As long as you’re happy.”

Lin Beixiu yawned and lay down beside her.

“Goodnight.”

Lin Beixiu turned over, facing away from her.

Qin Muxue chuckled as she watched his back, sneakily reaching out to his waist and lightly pinching him.

It’s well known that the waist is sensitive.

Lin Beixiu turned around, “Older sister Qin.”

Qin Muxue widened her eyes, trying to act innocent.

She teased him, making Lin Beixiu say helplessly, “Are you not letting me sleep?”

“Oh, Little Beixiu, don’t be angry.”

Qin Muxue reached out and grabbed his hand, and Lin Beixiu, after a brief struggle, gave up.

“Little Beixiu~”

Lin Beixiu remained silent as Qin Muxue approached.

Lin Beixiu still couldn’t believe that the once bossy Sister Mu had become so charming and seductive.

“Go to sleep.”

“Mm.”

When Lin Beixiu fell asleep, Qin Muxue unconsciously hugged him and then closed her eyes contentedly.

When Lin Beixiu woke up fully rested and got up, he discovered this scene.

Watching her peaceful sleeping face, Lin Beixiu’s heart was filled with mixed emotions. Since he found out she was his childhood Sister Mu, he couldn’t quite understand his feelings towards her.

Was it love? Maybe a little, but he was clear-headed.

Lin Beixiu treated Qin Muxue more like a sister, being kind to her to make up for their childhood.

“Mm~”

Qin Muxue murmured, half asleep, and opened her eyes to see Lin Beixiu’s mischievous expression.

“Have you had enough sleep, Older sister?”

“Oh.”

Blushing, Qin Muxue hesitated to let go of his hand.

“Good afternoon, Little Beixiu.”

Lin Beixiu got up without a trace, putting on his shoes.

“What’s wrong, Little Beixiu? Didn’t sleep well? You look a bit off.” Qin Muxue looked at him with concern.

“I’m fine.”

Lin Beixiu smiled, “I’ll wash my face, then we’ll go out for a walk.”

On the way, Qin Muxue occasionally glanced at him, unable to figure out what was going on with Lin Beixiu.

“Why are you looking at me like that? Is there something on my face?”

Qin Muxue shook her head, “Just admiring your handsomeness.”

“You’re incorrigible.”

The two of them arrived at the bus stop.

“Where are we going?”

Lin Beixiu casually said, “To the mall. I’ve informed Grandpa, we won’t be back for dinner tonight. I’ll take you out for fun.”

“Oh, you’re being generous.”

“Hehe, just returning the favor.”

While waiting for the bus, Qin Muxue found something fun again, putting her hand into his pocket for warmth.

When Lin Beixiu looked over, Qin Muxue explained, “It’s warmer here.”

Lin Beixiu glanced at her pocket but didn’t say anything, letting her be.

“The bus is here, let’s go.”

The two got on the bus, and Lin Beixiu bought tickets for both of them.

With few people on the bus and two empty seats, Qin Muxue sat inside, and Lin Beixiu sat next to her. Qin Muxue’s hand once again slipped into his pocket, occasionally teasing him by tickling him through his clothes.
