Big Bad? What the hell happened today?
Zoey’s heart jumped as she listened. Grabbing Jerry Xiao, he looked up and down nervously, “Where is the injury? Let me see.”
She panicked and didn’t care that this was a public place, not to mention her usual modesty, and went to lift Jerry Xiao’s T-shirt.
Jerry Xiao became uncomfortable, grabbed her hand, looked at her reddened eyes and reminded her, “Zoey , calm down, this is a supermarket.”
Being reminded by him of this, she froze for a moment. Thinking about what she had just done, her face was suddenly hot and hot. And …
If there is no mishearing, it seems that just now he did not even name himself …
“Uncle, auntie seems to be very nervous about you oh.” The little one sat in the stroller, wiggling his two thin legs, and spoke leisurely.
Jerry Xiao’s deep eyes glanced at Zoey , and his eyes welled up.
Zoey did not dare to think about the meaning of that look, at this point, simply can not dig a hole to bury themselves and KK together.
This little thing, can’t you stop talking?!
The atmosphere around him became both subtle and awkward, and Zoey was wondering how to explain her overwrought behavior when she saw the supermarket staff running over.
“Eh, what’s wrong with this? You little couple quarrel, quarrel, take what supermarket things out of anger? These are smashed flat, are you responsible for compensation?”
A young couple?
Zoey more and more embarrassed, not even dare to explain, for fear of being more and more black. Hurry to squat down and help each other to pack things, not even dare to refute a word.
KK snickered, while Jerry Xiao stood aside, completely out of the way, watching the good show.
A young couple? They led a child and looked a bit like that.
Zoey got up only after the cartons were scattered all over the floor.
“Things are almost all together, let’s go back …” She also did not dare to look at Jerry Xiao’s expression. She pushed KK and turned around to leave.
“Wait.” Jerry Xiao took her by the hand. The heat in his palm was so intense that Zoey’s heart was beating fast and she looked up at him. He didn’t seem to care, but turned his head to search the supermarket. After a while, he turned his head and asked, “Which section is the household goods?”
A woman is a monster who knows how to shop! This is only her second visit to this supermarket, but she seems to have already mapped out all the sections here.
Jerry Xiao walked over to the children’s section and looked around the children’s section, but the more he looked, the more confused he became.
Zoey walks over, “What do you want to pick?”
“Some things for kids. Toothpaste, toothbrush, body wash, what else?”
Zoey looked at his serious side face, her heart was incredibly soft, “For KK?”
“Hmm.” Jerry Xiao nodded, his eyes still balking. Asked Zoey again , “The brand you used last time, isn’t it for children? How is it? Does it work well? There are other things, what brand is better to pick?”
Zoey, a corner of her heart, was struck by his serious and tender look.
He, would be a good, good father …
“You’re so good to him.” Zoey touched a sentimental sentence, squatted down, skillfully picked out the brand that the children commonly use at home, and told him, “This body wash, which is completely plant-derived, is not irritating to the child’s tender skin. The toothbrush is soft and fine bristles, the child may recently have to change teeth, can not use too stiff toothbrush. There are also advertisements often do electric toothbrushes, and must not be used for children. Towels are not so much about, but still try to pick a softer …”
The company’s main business is to provide a wide range of products and services to the market. Jerry Xiao listened carefully to her soft words, looked at her back, and his heart inexplicably rose with a strange heartbeat.
At that moment, I felt that the woman who knew so much was incredibly beautiful.
“There! I’ve got everything I need.” She straightened up and Jerry Xiao looked away as Zoey put everything in the cart before saying, “You don’t really need to pick so much. KK is only staying for one night anyway, so it’s a waste to buy all this for the house.” … Jerry Xiao glanced at KK, “Who said it’s only for one night?”
He would like that the child could come more often.
KK also smiled, “KK should come to play with Uncle more often in the future. And bring Nini over with you.”
What?
Zoey was almost glaring at her son. This kid, one person is already enough to make her headache, but also to bring his sister into it, this is not intentionally to make things difficult for himself?
“What’s your reaction to this?” Jerry Xiao looked at Zoey strangely .
“Auntie doesn’t seem to want me to come to Uncle Oh!” KK also added fuel to the fire.
“I didn’t.” Zoey hurried to cover up. Afraid that Jerry Xiao would find out something, he immediately changed the subject, “Now let’s go back, it’s already very late.”
Jerry Xiao finally picked out a pair of happy little slippers for the child before turning back.
The cart was full of things that belonged to the kids, except for the food that Zoey picked out that Jerry liked.
Zoey’s heart is full of mixed feelings, a feeling she can’t tell.
He is really a very good father, and he hid him like this, and in the future he will not be able to forgive himself when he finds out.
But, the child is all she has … She doesn’t dare to take the risk …
Jerry Xiao was listening to this sound with almost a sense of enjoyment.
The child sat on the couch watching anime while Jerry Xiao kept him company and looked up at the kitchen again.
“Uncle, are you having a crush on Auntie?” KK craned her little neck.
You really don’t understand the world of adults! A kitchen door is closed, what else is there to see? If you want to see Zoey, why don’t you just run into the kitchen and watch?
“Who said that? Why should I have a crush on her?” When asked by the child, Jerry Xiao retorted almost immediately. Resisting the urge to throw another glance over.
KK skimmed his lips, leisurely reminded, “Auntie looks so beautiful, and can cook, chasing her people must be lined up to outer space la … uncle if not catch, not be KO off it is strange!”
Jerry Xiao twitched his eyebrows and squeezed his KK, “Man-child!”
But …
This woman, chasing her seems to be really quite a lot.
A Sea Gu, a Lucas Wang, and even her brother Owen Baker likes her!
KK patted him on the shoulder, “Uncle, don’t hold on. KK is looking out for you!”
…
Zoey is busy in the kitchen, making soup and cutting tofu.
Without looking up, I saw him standing in the doorway, his gaze deep and complex.
Zoey’s heart skipped a beat, the tofu in her hand didn’t hold tight, a knife down, almost cut her finger. She let out a cry of surprise and hurriedly put down the knife.
Jerry Xiao frowned, striding in and looking at her, “Don’t be a hero if you can’t cook, it’s not too late to go out and eat.”
“You startled me. Standing in the doorway without saying a word.”
Jerry Xiao excuses himself, “I was hungry and came to see how long it would take you to get it done. Just a reminder, it’s after 7:00.”
“Well, right away!” Zoey hurriedly picked up the knife again to cut the tofu. Thinking that there were still ribs he was having a hard time with, he tentatively asked him, “Can you do me a favor?”
“Hmm?” He raised an eyebrow. The way she begged made him purse his lips slightly. It seemed hard to refuse.
“Just bought ribs to cut up. I’m not strong enough, so …”
Jerry Xiao gets it.
Without hesitation, he reached over, “Give me the knife.”
Zoey hurriedly handed him the knife, but was unsure, “Are you sure you can do it?”
I don’t think he’s ever been in a kitchen before.
“You’re nosy! Stay aside and watch. Where are the ribs?” He was upset that his ‘strength’ was being doubted. Wasn’t it just ribs? If they women can do it, how can he not?
Zoey hurriedly carried the ribs over, Jerry Xiao looked at those bloody things some dumbfounded. It was common in the past, and now it feels completely different to hold it in your hand.
It’s so sticky and greasy, it’s disgusting!
Zoey looked at his sinking face with amusement, “If you can’t do it, I’ll do it!”
She said to take the knife over.
He didn’t look at her kindly, pretending to be calm, “Is it better to chop them up?”
“Hmm. Just chop it up into little pieces like this, it’ll be fine.” Zoey made a gesture to compare a size and looked at him not quite convinced, “Are you sure you’re OK?”
“Hey Zoey Baker, try doubting that again!” He was going to be pissed off, and Zoey quickly laughed and covered her mouth.
He squeezed the knife with one hand and the ribs with the other, his movements were clumsy as hell. But a heavy knife went down, and the ribs were smoothly chopped into a large piece.
“Isn’t that so?” Jerry Xiao asked her with a parting glance.
“Mmm!” Zoey hurriedly nodded her head. And carefully added, “It would be perfect if it could be chopped a little smaller!”
He frowned and spat, “What a pain in the ass!”
She smiled up and turned around to go about her business. Not forgetting to turn around and check his grades, advising him to be careful by the way.
Jerry Xiao was originally a little depressed, but gradually he realized that it was actually not a bad thing to stay in a space with her and occasionally listen to her fold over and teach him how to cut and how big to cut.
As I was thinking about it, I heard the sound of a porcelain pot being heaved on the table, followed by the sound of her muffled grunts of pain.
Jerry Xiao stopped moving almost immediately and turned his head to look at her. She saw her fingers burned, grabbing each ear and jumping in the kitchen.
“It’s hot, it’s hot …”
“Idiot!” Jerry Xiao scolded, grabbed Zoey’s hand and put it under the faucet without a second thought.
Move sharply to unscrew the water.
The cool water rushed down and gently tripped over Zoey’s red, swollen fingers. He was right next to her again, very close. Firmly against her back, she could hear his steady, strong heartbeat.
Large palms gripped both of her hands, hard and warm.
Zoey’s heart had never beaten so fast, and it seemed to hold her breath.
On the tips of the fingers, it is as if they are not so hot either.
I can’t help but remember the last time I was burned by coffee in the office, he also gave himself medicine.
This man …
It doesn’t seem to be as heartless as it appears …
“Why are you still dazed when you’re burned like this?” His tone was not very good, he just cast a glance at her with downcast eyes, but did not let go of her hand either.
Zoey giggles, “No daze.”
“How’s the hand?”
“It’s okay already.” Her voice was soft, and she struggled tentatively. He then immediately released her and took a step back. zoey’s heartbeat, which hadn’t slowed down, still had a hint of loss as his scent faded around him.
Jerry Xiao glanced at her, said nothing, turned around and went out.
Looking at the disappearing back, looking at the mess of ribs on the anvil, Zoey couldn’t help but smile openly.
It was the first time I knew that cooking was such a heartwarming thing to do.
