?Chapter 120: Chapter 120: You’re too tall, I can’t reach. Can you bend down a little? Chapter 120: Chapter 120: You’re too tall, I can’t reach. Can you bend down a little? Wait a minute… A bright idea suddenly shed through Kang Li’s mind!
How could she have forgotten?
During lunchtime, when she cooked, the man had helped her out. Whether it was picking vegetables, rinsing them, or washing dishes after the meal, his actions did not reveal any unfamiliarity.
From this, could she deduce that there was at least a fifty percent chance he knew how to cook?
Thinking this, Kang Li continued her steps toward the kitchen without stopping.
“Do you need any help?”
Standing at the kitchen door, Kang Li looked towards the man who was cutting potatoes at the chopping board, side-on to her.
“No, go and rest.”
Luo Yanqing’s hand froze as he turned to look at Kang Li.
“Are you sure you don’t need help?”
Kang Li stepped forward and stood beside the man.
Luo Yanqing nodded and made a sound of agreement.
“Why aren’t you wearing an apron?” Kang Li said as she casually took an apron, “Let me help you put it on!”
Upon hearing this, Luo Yanqing did not respond for a long while.
Kang Li: “Turn around!” Seeing the man still facing the chopping board and not turning, Kang Li couldn’t help but urge him with her cheerful yet gentle voice.
With his lips slightly pursed, Luo Yanqing put down the knife and turned around.
“You’re too tall, I can’t reach it. Can you bend down a little?”
Actually, she could have easily put the apron on his neck by tiptoeing, but she didn’t want to do so. She wanted to interact with the man, to see his embarrassed look.
Luo Yanqing hesitated for a moment then slightly bent his waist.
Noticing the man’s ears turning red, Kang Li kept her face unchanged, yet she couldn’t help butugh inwardly: This man is really too innocent, not at all like a man in his mid-twenties who had been married!
“Are you nning to stir-fry the potatoes?”
After helping the man put on the apron, Kang Li moved behind him and tied the straps for him.
Luo Yanqing: “Yes.”
“If you don’t need my help, then I’ll stay here and talk to you.” Kang Li did not leave. She stepped aside to stand, making sure not to block the light and affect the man’s cutting.
Luo Yanqing, hearing what she said, did not respond.
Kang Li raised her eyebrow: “Don’t you want to talk to me?”
Luo Yanqing shook his head.
“At home, you can call me Kang Li, or you can call me Li Bao. Actually, from childhood, my family and fellow vigers have all called me Li Bao, they all feel it’s more affectionate.”
Kang Li casually chatted, even though Luo Yanqing did not verbally respond, she didn’t feel awkward at all. Her eyes sparkled purely as she looked at the man’s handsome profile and spoke in a rxed and casual tone:
“I have five brothers. I don’t know if you have heard from Director Song, but among my five brothers, the oldest and the third one work on the farm. My second brother is in the military,
my fourth brother is a driver working for the transport team in our county, and as for my youngest brother, who came with me to North City, he now works at North City Petrochemical.”
Luo Yanqing: “The director mentioned it to me.”
Kang Li blinked her eyes slyly, tilted her head and asked, “Then did you know that my younger brother’s job here was actually arranged by your organization for me?”
Luo Yanqing: “Yes.”
Kang Li: “You don’t have any objections, right?”
Luo Yanqing shook his head.
Kang Li smiled, “That’s good.”
As porridge simmered on the stove, Luo Yanqing finished cutting the potatoes, rinsed them briefly, and then soaked the potato strips in a small porcin basin, methodically preparing other ingredients.
“I’ve been frail since I was born, growing up constantly taken by my parents to seek doctors and medicine, but don’t worry. Although I’m a bit weak, it’s fine as long as I don’t do heavy physical work.”
