At the kitchen, Davi and the two young boys were cooking happily when a certain man was left sitting in the couch. But when he heard their laughers, he stood and walked towards the kitchen. He then leaned quietly at the kitchen’s door frame as he watched them.
That moment, Davi immediately felt his presence due to his piercing gaze so she turned her head and she was right. The man’s face was blank but the moment she looked at his mystifying eyes, she didn’t know why but he just turned into an abandoned adorable little beast in her eyes. Causing her to immediately walked towards him.
“Wanna join us?” she asked hesitantly when the man instantly nodded, causing Davi to be a bit taken aback. Well, she was just kidding, she can’t possibly ask this man of all people to help them cook. She just wanted him to sit there like a king but when she saw eagerness in his gorgeous eyes, she just doesn’t have the heart to say no to him.
“A-are you sure?”
“Yes.”
Davi was shocked on how fast he said yes. She then helped him roll his sleeves before she finally gave him his most awaited task. She gave him a wooden spatula and asked him to simply stir the soup.
Sei-er immediately nodded as his gaze was directed to the boiling pot.
That moment, Davi and the two young boys all focused their gaze towards him as they waited for him to do his task. Yijin on the other hand was unbelievably restless, as though he was about to witness something unthinkable.
Sei-er then carefully lifted his hand and he started stirring the soup seriously, as though he was doing some scientific experiment. His stance wasn’t relaxed at all that Davi couldn’t help but chuckle.
She walked closer to him and she held his hand gently.
“Lower your arm, hold it like a pencil,” she said as she kept smiling while the man just replied with an “Mn.”
After Davi’s instruction, the man finally relaxed a bit. And as Davi watched him she just couldn’t help but felt the fluffiness again.
“Am I doing it right?” he then asked and Davi just nodded like a rattle.
“Mm… great job, you’re doing well, but make sure that the spoon will reach the bottom, okay?” she replied and when he nodded she turned away and continued peeling tomatoes while she kept glancing at him.
That moment, Yijin sidled at her.
“Miss, the boss never held any kitchen utensils before… are you sure this is fine? What if he’ll get seared? What if he’ll get hurt?” he whispered worriedly.
“Stop getting worried, he’s still a man, okay? And besides, the great me is here, I’ll make sure he won’t get hurt.” Davi assured him as she patted the young man’s shoulder. And hearing her assurance caused Yijin to finally relaxed and he stepped back to continue his task.
Until time passed and the soup was already cooked. Davi told him to just sit and rest but he looked as though he wasn’t pleased to just sit and watch. But because it was an order from the wife, the obedient Sei-er could only gaze at the peeled potatoes as though he was slicing them in his imagination.
That moment, Davi noticed the adorable beast quietly behaving while he seemed suppressing himself hard even though his eager aura was wildly blazing out. And looking at him like that was a torture to her, causing her to finally gave in.
“Okay, do you want to slice the potatoes?”
“Yes.”
Sei-er’s instant reply almost made Davi burst out of laughter. The man looked like he was waiting for her to say it all this time.
God, this adorable little thing is at it again.
Looking at his determined eyes, Davi then gave him a knife.
Sei-er immediately began the work. He started slicing the potatoes carefully and slowly as though the potatoes were some really precious fragile things that was meant to be sliced royally.
Until time passed and Davi finally started helping him sliced the potatoes. It was because the man was slicing way too slow. He was like a curious god-turned-human who was just trying his best to try doing human stuffs for the first time ever.
That moment, Davi sliced the potatoes in her own fast pace, causing Sei-er’s eyes to widen a bit, as amazement slowly flashed across his gorgeous eyes. And after he watched her, something glittered in his eyes.
He gripped his knife and he started copying Davi’s fast pace. Sei-er’s sudden fast pace surprised Davi and at the same time, worried her.
“Be careful, you’ll get…” Davi couldn’t continue her words because the moment Davi talked, the man suddenly looked at her before he even stopped slicing.
Davi instantly shifted her gaze into his hands and the moment she saw blood coming out of his skin, she suddenly grabbed his hand.
And before the man could even react, his thumb was already in his wife’s mouth, sucking the small cut in his thumb.
That very moment, Sei-er felt like he was suddenly being struck by a thousand thunder bolts all at once.
