Chapter 108: Qin Yunxi’s Cooking Skills

In Ye Xiao’s domain, even older girls couldn’t compete, let alone a simple girl like Qin Yunxi.

Ye Xiao, feeling guilty, restrained herself, yet was also excited by the strange sensation.

—

The next day, the sky was clear and bright, and a ray of sunlight shone through the window, landing on Ye Xiao’s cheek.

She rubbed her eyes, reaching out to find Qin Yunxi beside her, but to her surprise, the space was empty.

She had been so tired last night that, had Qin Yunxi not played with fire, she wouldn’t have even bothered to lift a finger.

However, it seemed that her actions had gone too far, and Qin Yunxi had run away.

Thinking about it, it made sense. After all, for a girl like that, someone who had run away from home and found someone she could trust for the first time, being subjected to such strange actions would inevitably make her feel betrayed.

If Ye Xiao had been in her place, she might have even called the police to arrest someone like herself.

With that in mind, it was a relief that Qin Yunxi had only run away and hadn’t gone so far as to report her.

Ye Xiao felt a bit of regret for her impulsive actions the previous night.

But, in a way, it was also good. It gave Qin Yunxi a small taste of the harshness of society. Even someone like Ye Xiao, who seemed harmless, could do strange things to an older girl.

In this way, Qin Yunxi would learn to survive better in society.

At least, her first experience wasn’t with some scumbag who had deceived her.

She got out of bed, dressed, and rubbed her eyes as she walked toward the fridge.

Not only had she bought Qin Yunxi clothes yesterday, but she’d also gotten a lot of snacks, having someone deliver them and filling the fridge to the brim, so she wasn’t worried about breakfast.

She lazily took out a carton of milk and some bread sausages, not bothering to heat them up, and walked toward the dining table.

To her surprise, there was already a cup of hot milk on the table, and beside it was toast heated by the bread maker.

“Crackle~”

At that moment, a sizzling sound came from the kitchen.

Ye Xiao tiptoed toward the kitchen and saw Qin Yunxi standing in front of the stove in the sleepwear she’d bought the day before, looking at the frying pan with a fearful expression.

She hadn’t left!

For some reason, Ye Xiao felt an unexpected surge of joy in her heart.

“Fishy, Trashy Big Sister, what are you doing here?”

Ye Xiao asked, already knowing the answer.

“Yesterday, you made me breakfast…”

When Qin Yunxi saw Ye Xiao, her face instantly turned a beautiful shade of red.

Her family had been overly protective of her, so she knew very little about such matters. Even the biological lessons in middle school textbooks about having babies had never reached her.

Until yesterday, she had thought that for two people to have a baby, all they had to do was kiss.

But last night, Ye Xiao had done far more than just kissing her.

Remembering what happened the previous night, her face turned even redder.

Now the question arose: since both of them were girls, who would carry the baby? Would it be Ye Xiao, or would it be her?

To drive these strange thoughts from her mind, she decided to do something to distract herself and stop thinking about such embarrassing matters.

So, she chose to make breakfast for Ye Xiao. However, it was a bit too embarrassing for her to outright say the reason why she was doing it.

So, she chose to make breakfast for Ye Xiao, but it was too embarrassing to directly say the reason behind it.

“So, Big Sister is planning to make me breakfast to repay me?”

Toasting bread and heating milk weren’t difficult, but for a beginner, the hardest part was frying the eggs.

Ye Xiao couldn’t help but glance at the somewhat messy stove, where there were quite a few eggshells and egg whites. These were clearly the results of Qin Yunxi’s cooking attempts.

Miss, are you here to repay me, or to get revenge for what I did to you last night?

Those eggs are innocent, if you have any grievances, come at me.

“Mmm…”

Qin Yunxi lowered her head, not daring to meet Ye Xiao’s gaze.

Ye Xiao couldn’t help but feel amused. It was clear that Qin Yunxi was trying hard. At least now, she had successfully cracked an egg into the pan.

“Fishy, Trashy Big Sister, do you want to check your egg?”

“Huh?” Qin Yunxi froze, sniffing the air. A faint burnt smell drifted into her nose.

She hurriedly turned around, clumsily picking up the spatula and flipping the egg several times, but she couldn’t manage to turn it over.

Finally flipping it, she was afraid the other side would also burn, so in a flurry of movements, she scooped the fried egg onto a plate.

Ye Xiao leaned against the kitchen glass door, watching with interest as Qin Yunxi tried to manage.

“Let me do it,” Ye Xiao said, pulling over a small stool, pushing Qin Yunxi aside, and then standing in front of the stove.

Ten minutes later, the two of them sat at the dining table.

Qin Yunxi sniffled, embarrassed as she looked at Ye Xiao, seemingly having been choked by the oil smoke.

In front of them were two plates of fried eggs. The one in front of Qin Yunxi had been made by Ye Xiao, while the one in front of Ye Xiao was made by Qin Yunxi.

On the surface, Qin Yunxi’s egg looked quite successful, but if you flipped it over, you’d see that the other side was burnt.

“I’m sorry…”

Qin Yunxi spoke like a child who had done something wrong, apologizing to Ye Xiao.

She felt deeply guilty. She had wanted to make breakfast for Ye Xiao, but found that she couldn’t do anything right.

“It’s okay, Fishy, Trashy Big Sister. For your first time, this is already really good. At least it’s barely edible. When I made it for the first time, it wasn’t this good.”

Ye Xiao spoke reassuringly.

“Really?”

Qin Yunxi’s eyes brightened.

“Well, I was only 6 years old back then.”

Ye Xiao couldn’t help but chuckle.

In her previous life, her parents had been busy, so she started trying to cook when she was 6 years old.

At that time, she was shorter than she was now and much weaker. When she first fried an egg, it had bits of eggshell in it, and it tasted terrible.

Qin Yunxi’s expression fell again. She couldn’t even do as well as Ye Xiao had at 6 years old. She felt like her life was a failure.

“Big Sister, you don’t need to feel too guilty. At least there are no eggshells in this egg.”

Ye Xiao picked up the fried egg and took a bite.

From Qin Yunxi’s perspective, she could see the burnt side of the egg. It looked unappetizing. If it were her, she definitely wouldn’t eat it, but she was still eager to hear Ye Xiao’s evaluation of her cooking skills.

As she watched Ye Xiao take a bite and chew carefully, her expression didn’t seem too bad.

But the next moment, Ye Xiao suddenly furrowed her brows and spat out a small piece of eggshell.

“…” It felt like a slap to the face.

After spitting out the eggshell, Ye Xiao didn’t seem to want to eat anymore, but seeing Qin Yunxi’s expectant gaze, she pinched her nose and forced herself to finish the egg.

Qin Yunxi nervously clutched the hem of her skirt, and when she saw Ye Xiao finish it, her mood brightened.

“Although it’s a bit burnt, it’s crispy. If we weren’t talking, Fishy, Trashy Big Sister, it probably wouldn’t have burned.”

Ye Xiao took the opportunity to cover for Qin Yunxi.

Then, she quickly took a few sips of milk to mask the burnt taste.

To be honest, it was really hard to eat, but in order to not discourage the child, Ye Xiao endured it.
