In front of the kitchen counter, Chu Zhi stood in front wearing a brown apron. Behind her, shirtless Qi Yan held her in his arms.
There was a chopping board on the cooking table in front of them, and three or four long pork ribs were placed next to the chopping board.
Originally, Qi Yan was the one cooking at home every day, but now that he was sick, he obviously couldn't cook anymore, so this task was taken over by Chu Zhi.
Chu Zhi's cooking skills are good, but she has a fatal flaw, that is, her knife skills are not good. She can't even cut potatoes into shreds, let alone chop ribs.
There was no other way, the two of them could only take such measures.
Chu Zhi stood in front, Qi Yan stood behind her, an arm passed under her armpit.
There were two people, one holding the ribs and the other holding a kitchen knife, ready to cut the ribs.
Qi Yan's body temperature is always very high, and he likes to be naked. Even through clothes, Chu Zhi still feels that the other person's body is particularly hot.
Chu Zhi frowned and struggled a little, "Qi Yan, you feel so hot. Do you have a fever?"
With such a serious trauma, it is very normal to have a fever, so she asked.
She responded to the deep laughter coming from behind. Qi Yan did it on purpose. He deliberately used this gesture to hug the little girl standing in front of him into his arms.
His chest was pressed tightly against the other person's back, he bowed his waist slightly, and his mouth was pressed tightly against the other person's ear.
So when he laughed in a low voice, the dull laughter came out against Chu Zhi's ears.
It sounded particularly low and hoarse, and gradually spread out along her ears, leaving a tingling sensation wherever it passed.
"Zhizhi, I don't have a fever."
"As soon as I get close to you, I can't help but get hot all over. Please be considerate." Qi Yan said in a low voice.
Chu Zhi was a little uncomfortable with these unreasonable words. She waved her arm back in an attempt to push the person behind her away.
"Be more serious, I'm cooking." Chu Zhi couldn't stand the other party always acting like this, as if he had nothing else in mind except this.
When Qi Yan heard this, he immediately suppressed the smile on his face and nodded seriously.
"Okay, Zhizhi baby, I'm getting serious now."
Chu Zhi couldn't help but feel her heart tremble when she heard what the other party called her.
"Don't be like this, cut the ribs quickly, I'm going to cook, and then you go to rest." Chu Zhi lowered her eyelids and said softly.
"Okay, I listen to you. Then hold on to the ribs and I'm going to start chopping."
"Yeah, okay." After Chu Zhi nodded, she pressed the ribs tightly with both hands, indicating to the people behind her that they could start chopping.
Fortunately, the person behind him injured his left shoulder, otherwise the two of them would really not be able to eat ribs tonight.
The ribs here at Qi Yan are delivered whole, because this way you can cut them into pieces when you want to braise them, and you can marinate them whole and bake them in the oven when you want to roast them.
"Bang!"
Men are men after all, and they have an absolute advantage in strength.
Chu Zhi struggled for a long time and chopped the ribs that were not broken several times, but the other party cut them off with one strike.
"Continue, move your hands back." Qi Yan said.
This was just the first chop, and there were still three ribs on the chopping board waiting for the two of them to chop together.
"Yeah." Chu Zhi nodded and moved her hand back obediently.
The two people's bodies were so close that Chu Zhi still felt uncomfortable, but she had tried her best to adapt to such close contact as soon as possible.
After all, although it was not voluntary, they were now in a relationship between boyfriend and girlfriend, and there would be many more intimate actions than this in the future.
The sooner you adapt, the better for yourself.
When they first started chopping the first rib, the two people didn't cooperate very well, and the speed was a little slower. By the time they cut the second rib, both of them had obviously found the trick.
No need for Qi Yan to say, Chu Zhi knew it was time to move his hand back, moving and slashing, and the cooperation was very tacit. The three ribs were chopped quickly with the cooperation of two people.
After chopping the ribs, Qi Yan moved back twice without Chu Zhi opening his mouth, and there was a slight distance between them.
Qi Yan knew in his heart that the little girl was still slightly resistant to his intimate behavior, so he was willing to give in a little and give the other party some time to adapt.
Sure enough, when he took a few steps back, Chu Zhi's shoulder blade line instantly relaxed a lot and was no longer tight.
"Zhizhi, what are you going to cook?" Although he took a few steps away, Qi Yan still stayed in the kitchen, staring at Chu Zhi with burning eyes.
Chu Zhi thought for a while and felt that it would be better to give the other party some information about her cooking skills first, in case the other party has very high expectations for her.
"My, my cooking skills can only be said to be average. You, don't complain..."
Before Chu Zhi finished speaking, she was hurriedly interrupted by the other party.
Qi Yan still laughed softly at first, then raised his eyebrows and looked at her with burning eyes.
"What are you thinking about, honey? Even if you pour me a glass of boiled water, I will be happy."
"What's more, if you cook for me yourself, no matter what you make, I will eat it all."
Qi Yan was always like this, which made her a little overwhelmed. Chu Zhi nodded lightly and said without looking back while preparing the ingredients.
"You are injured, go back to the bedroom and rest first."
Qi Yan still stared at the other party with his black eyes. He saw wherever the other party went.
He raised the corners of his lips, with a smile on his face, "No, I just want to look at you. I'm happy when I look at you."
When he said this, Chu Zhi was standing in front of the refrigerator door selecting ingredients. After hearing his words, she paused slightly.
Here it comes again, she can't resist this feeling at all. She couldn't help but feel a little softer towards Qi Yan, but this moment of softness lasted only a few seconds.
After her heart softens, she will fall into deep shame and feel that she really only cares about food and not about fighting.
I only remember that the other person was kind to me at the moment, but I completely forgot how he forced himself on me before.
She couldn't help but despise herself in her heart, it felt so bad.
Qi Yan looked at her back, but finally couldn't hold back and walked towards his little girl.
"What's wrong? Can't decide what to eat?" Qi Yan asked with some confusion.
Chu Zhi reacted quickly and nodded gently, "Well, I wonder what you like to eat?"
After hearing her question, Qi Yan smiled even more, "I'm not picky about food, just cook what you like."
Since the other party said so, Chu Zhi could only do it.
Chu Zhi looked at it for a while, then took out a few tomatoes from the refrigerator, a handful of green vegetables, a small bag of mushrooms, some celery, and some lilies.
Since you are sick, your diet must be light.
While she was cooking, someone stood motionless in the kitchen. Although the other person's body didn't move, his eyes kept following her.
Like the supervisor, it makes people a little uncomfortable.
As soon as she didn't adapt, Qi Yan noticed it.
Qi Yan quickly walked over, shirtless, "I'll wash the vegetables."
Chu Zhi hesitated after hearing this, but finally agreed. It was better to find some work for the other party than to stand behind and oversee the work all the time.
