Chapter 819: Chapter 810 Temporary (2)

While emotions were heating up on one side, Bo Yan was enduring great hardships on the other.

In fact, from appearances, Xia Siyu was particularly clingy to him. After being apart for over half a month, there truly was a sense of “absence makes the heart grow fonder.” Concerned about her health, Bo Yan didn’t open the wine bottle. Instead, he used fresh chicken to simmer a pot of soup slowly over low heat, filling the entire house with the aroma of food.

In cold weather, or when she was feeling unwell, a pot of warm chicken soup was better than anything. Just after Xia Siyu finished bathing and drying her hair, she smelled the soup and couldn’t resist coming down, even skipping her skincare routine.

Bo Yan was still busy in the kitchen. It was just the two of them, so not many dishes were prepared. He washed some vegetables, cut them up, arranged them on a plate, then took out an electric hotpot. Once the chicken was ready, they might as well have hotpot together.

Bo Yan was still preparing the food when Xia Siyu approached him from behind and hugged him. Bo Yan paused, then gave a light smile, “I’m chopping vegetables, be careful not to get hurt.”

“I’ll help you,” she said, sniffing the air and feeling hungry.

“Have you applied your face mask after the bath? Did you put on your skincare? Take care, or you’ll get wrinkles,” Bo Yan, wary of the knife in his hand, didn’t want to accidentally hurt her.

“You’re the one who’ll get wrinkles!” Xia Siyu retorted, annoyed, “Besides, what if I get wrinkles? Even with wrinkles, I’ll still be a beautiful woman with wrinkles.”

Angered, she tried to grab the knife from him: “Move aside, let me chop the vegetables!”

Bo Yan got scared and quickly put the knife away. That was something she definitely should not touch. What if something happened? He had no choice but to say, “Alright, could you help me place these chopped vegetables on the table?”

Xia Siyu glanced at the knife then at the neatly arranged vegetables beside it and unhappily agreed, “Fine then.”

She then carried the plates out one by one. Xia Siyu had her little preferences, placing her favorite tofu and enoki mushrooms in front of her and pushing the leafy greens toward where he sat.

Bo Yan still had to compliment her from behind, “Wife is so amazing. Wife is so capable.”

As soon as he finished speaking, there was a “clatter” as a plate fell to the floor, scattering vegetable leaves everywhere. Xia Siyu, without blinking, picked up the vegetables from the floor, intending to put them back on the plate. Bo Yan quickly intervened, “Let me clean it up.”

He carefully picked up the larger vegetable pieces and washed them thoroughly. Xia Siyu, on the other hand, took a broom and dustpan to sweep up the larger ceramic pieces. Just after she emptied the trash and put away the broom and dustpan, she noticed another ceramic piece on the floor. Without much thought, she reached out to pick it up.

Bo Yan had just uttered “be careful” when her finger got pricked. After being pricked, she held up her bleeding finger, looking aggrieved at him.

Bo Yan had no choice but to pull her over and squeeze the blood out of the wound. Luckily, her finger was not seriously injured; it was just a minor scrape. After squeezing out the congestion and cleaning it, he bandaged it with an adhesive bandage. Xia Siyu watched him as he washed her finger and said, “In romance novels, the male protagonist is always so caring towards the female protagonist, sucking the dirt from her wounds. As he sucks, they somehow end up in bed.”

Bo Yan was both amused and annoyed, flicking her forehead, “What kind of nonsense novels are you reading! So you want me to suck the blood, is that it? Fine then, I’ll suck it!”

Having said that, he immediately took her finger into his mouth.
