t to take Shen Yi'an's hand."Miss Shen, you saved my daughter and me. I haven't had a chance to properly thank you. As soon as I heard that you were being slandered, I had to come see for myself which..."It's nothing." Shen Yian immediately turned around, a blush flashing across her face.

What do I do

Let's wash the rice.

Shen Yi'an took out a basket and poured two large bowls of rice into it, then handed it to Song Lin.

Song Lin didn't say anything, turned around and started washing rice.

Shen Yian opened the refrigerator to prepare today's dishes, egg drop soup, shrimp with white bamboo shoots, and braised pork.

After taking the ingredients, she discovered that the refrigerator was half empty and muttered to herself, "I have to buy groceries again."

At that moment, the water behind her stopped. She immediately closed the refrigerator door and was about to take Song Lin's place washing dishes.

Little did they know, Song Lin behind them also happened to turn around. The two of them bumped straight into each other in the small kitchen.

"Ouch!" Shen Yian bumped her forehead against Song Lin's chest, dropping the white gourd and shrimp in her hand.

"How do you always bump into things"

“......”

Shen Yian pursed her lips, in fact, she had always been troubled ever since she met Song Lin.

But she didn't dare to say that, only said sorry and prepared to bend down to pick up the ingredients on the ground.

Song Lin reached out and shielded her body, then handed the rinsed rice to her.

"Stand still."

Shen Yian just wanted to ask what was wrong, then he saw the tall and straight Song Lin squat down.

He picked up each shrimp one by one, and even silently brushed the ice that had fallen out of the shrimp bag to the side.

She only then discovered that quite a few ice cubes were scattered just beside her feet. If she had moved a little while ago and stepped on them, she would have ended up flat on her back.

Shen Yian gratefully retracted his gaze, just in time to see the rice in the basket in his hand.

Although the rice wasn't actually dirty, she could tell at a glance that Song Lin had really taken his time washing it.

Suddenly, she felt a mixture of emotions.

Once, Gu Cheng went to her place for a meal. Afraid that her mother would be too tired, she cooked by herself, while Gu Cheng leaned against the kitchen door talking about his ideal married life.

At that time, she really thought Gu Cheng wanted to marry her. Otherwise, who would talk endlessly about the picture of her washing dishes and cooking for him

She casually shoved the rice bucket in her hand into Gu Cheng's, smiling and telling him to experience it beforehand.

Gu Cheng's face flashed a trace of unnaturalness, but he quickly laughed and said, "It is an honor."

Shen Yian didn't mind his awkwardness, thinking it was only natural for a man to help with housework. However, when Gu Chengjiao served her rice, there wasn't even a drop of water on top, clearly just a superficial effort.

Gu Cheng also said he hadn't done it and wouldn't.

What he said made sense, but he forgot that he had also once said that his family was ordinary and that he had to do everything for himself since he was a child, so he would never let her suffer in the future.

At that time, she and Gu Cheng were deeply in love, so instinctively she found an excuse for him without delving into it further.

Okay, she admitted she was stupid. The reason sounded ridiculous now.

Song Rin, who grew up suffering alongside Aunt Mo, never seemed to shirk his responsibilities.

"Alright." Song Lin got up and put the shrimp back on the plate.

Shen Yian came to his senses and looked down, surprised to find that Song Lin had actually wiped the floor.

Thank you.

"Well, let's cook. What else do we need to make" Song Lin looked like he was on duty, a bit serious and a bit playful.

"Could you wash the shrimp for me, and by the way, check for any shrimp lines."

"Mm."

Song Lin nodded and turned to deal with the shrimp.

Shen Yian stood beside him, washing snow peas and pork.

As darkness fell, their figures, one tall and one short, were reflected in the glass window before them.

Perhaps sensing something, they both almost simultaneously looked up to the glass window and saw each other's slightly surprised expressions on it.

Shen Yian turned away sheepishly: "I, I'm hot."me has just begun.Song Lin put down the report, picked up his water glass and brought it to his lips only to find it was empty.He got up and walked out of the study, but he found that the lights in th...
