Dinner was ready, and Tan Yanli turned around only to find Lin Runjie leaning against the kitchen door with his arms crossed, watching her.
She had been so absorbed in cooking that she didn't notice anyone watching her, nor did she know how long he had been standing there.
"Let me carry the dishes!"
Lin Runjie walked into the kitchen, picked up the tray, and headed out.
Tan Yanli was about to serve the rice when she let out a small cry, "Oh no!"
"What's wrong?"
Hearing her yelp, Lin Runjie quickly set the tray down by the dining table and hurried back to the kitchen. He approached her and nervously grabbed her hand, asking, "What happened? Did you burn your hand?"
"No!"
Tan Yanli pulled her hand back and awkwardly replied, "I wanted to serve the rice, only to realize that I forgot to press the cooking button on the rice cooker..."
"Oh dear, what a blockhead I am!"
