Chapter 218: Chapter 218: No Rush for the Moment (1st Update)
Once you get used to something, it’s hard to stop!
In less than ten minutes, Lin Xi ran back from school to the entrance of the villa area, then walked to the villa Bai Bing bought at a slightly faster pace than normal.
As soon as he entered, Lin Xi was hit by a strong smell of oil smoke, with a hint of spiciness.
He walked towards the kitchen and found it filled with smoke, as if something was on fire.
Just as he was about to go in to check, Bai Bing rushed out holding a spatula, looking extremely disheveled, with messy hair and tears streaming down her face, even with a few smudges of pot black on her face.
"..." Lin Xi froze.
Bai Bing, seeing Lin Xi, also froze, and at that moment, she felt dizzy and weak all over, suddenly losing control of her body.
Just as she was about to fall to the ground, she felt a pair of strong arms supporting her in time.
"You should really rest!" Lin Xi’s tone was somewhat stern because he realized Bai Bing was very weak.
Besides, hmm, the kitchen’s current state made it obvious why she ended up like this.
Bai Bing calmed down from her panic, rolled her eyes at Lin Xi, and secretly cursed, "It’s all because of you!"
But she couldn’t muster the courage to say it out loud, so she pretended she hadn’t heard anything.
"Gurgle, gurgle..."
The sound made her very embarrassed, feeling like the most awkward situations of her life had all happened in the past two days.
And hadn’t she eaten a lot in the morning? How was she already starving before noon?
"When did I become such a big eater?" Bai Bing wondered to herself.
But why had she never heard anyone mention this?
In the next moment, Lin Xi picked her up by the waist, without saying anything, and walked towards the room. Bai Bing instantly panicked again, exclaiming,
"What are you doing?"
"Hmm?" Lin Xi paused, looked down at the Bai Bing in his arms, and said, "Taking you to rest."
"Rest for what?" Bai Bing probed further.
"Of course, the cooking is up to me now!" Lin Xi explained a bit, then resumed walking towards his room.
"Oh..." Bai Bing’s face instantly flushed, the atmosphere a bit awkward, feeling like she’d misunderstood. But knowing Lin Xi didn’t have that kind of intention made her feel just a tiny bit disappointed.
"..."
Bai Bing’s face reddened even more, inwardly scolding herself harshly, questioning why she thought like that!
After reaching the room, Lin Xi laid Bai Bing down properly and seemed to realize something, saying, "Did you just think I was going to?"
He paused for a moment before continuing, "Actually, I did have that thought, but you’re too weak now. It’s not appropriate."
"Get a good rest first, there’ll be plenty of time in the future, no rush."
After saying this, Lin Xi turned and left the room, while Bai Bing lay on the bed as if struck by lightning.
It took her a long time to snap out of it, feeling speechless inside!
