"We didn't do anything!" Zheng Yuntong raised her voice guiltily. Fortunately, the sound of the range hood drowned out her voice and didn't reach the living room.
"It's just that … it's just that the two of us are alone in the living room. It's a little awkward." Zheng Yuntong lowered her head and twisted the corner of her shirt. "It's nothing."
Xu Moyan smiled and didn't press her. She only said, "From what I see, you guys are progressing well."
Zheng Yuntong blushed and said, "I … I'll go out and entertain them!"
After saying that, she escaped from the kitchen.
Xu Moyan looked at her fleeing figure and felt as if Zheng Yuntong had just escaped from a fire pit and entered a wolf's den. She couldn't help but laugh.
After a while, Xu Moyan was processing the lotus roots and preparing to make a sour and refreshing cold lotus root slices. The cold dish was simple and refreshing. It was also very appetizing.
She was focused on cutting the lotus roots into thin slices when she heard the sound of the door opening. Thinking that it was Zheng Yuntong, she didn't raise her head. "Stay in the living room and entertain the guests. How can a host leave a guest alone there? "
"Shen Zongyi is familiar with Zheng Yuntong. He's not considered a guest, so there's no need to entertain him." A voice with a hint of laughter came from behind him. With the loud noise of the range hood, the voice was especially clear and melodious.
Ever since she got to know Wei Zilin, Goddess Yu Linling's voice always came out of nowhere and caught Xu Moyan off guard.
The result of being caught off guard was that the knife slanted and almost cut her hand. Luckily, she reacted quickly and didn't cause any substantial damage.
Wei Zilin also noticed her actions and frowned slightly. He took two or three steps forward and grabbed her hand without hesitation. He pinched each of her fingers with his long, well-defined fingers and carefully checked each of them. Only when he confirmed that there were no injuries did he let go.
Xu Moyan was stunned. He always showed such intimate gestures from time to time. Perhaps in his eyes, it was a gentleman's action and he didn't have any other feelings in his heart. But to her, it was really difficult to resist and not let herself think too much.
If he did this again and again, she might really not be able to resist and fall pitifully just like that.
Every time his tender care came, it always caught her off guard.
"I heard from Zheng Yuntong that your culinary skills are very good. Why are you so careless when you're chopping vegetables?" Wei Zilin frowned slightly and asked in a seemingly reproachful tone.
Xu Moyan quickly pursed her lips and said, "I was distracted just now. I don't usually."
"It's my fault. I shouldn't have suddenly made a sound behind you." Wei Zilin suddenly blamed himself.
This made Xu Moyan feel embarrassed. It seemed like she was making a big deal out of nothing. It was her own fault, yet she blamed it on him.
"No, I didn't pay attention." Xu Moyan raised her head and looked at Wei Zilin. For some reason, she could see a slight hint of blame in his eyes.
It seemed like … he was blaming her for being so careless?
He didn't know if he was right, but he still said, "I will pay attention to it. This kind of situation won't happen again."
As expected, the reproach in Wei Zilin's eyes dissipated.
It seemed that she had indeed understood correctly.
Then, Wei Zilin pushed himself away slightly and leaned against the table leisurely. "I gave the living room to Shen Zongyi and Zheng Yuntong. It seems like I have nowhere else to go. It's not appropriate to be a third wheel there. Do you mind taking me in for a while? "
Xu Moyan couldn't help but laugh. "Alright, then you can stay here. Actually, we can start eating very soon."
"Don't worry, I won't cause trouble for you." Wei Zilin smiled.
Xu Moyan smiled and lowered her head to continue working.
But Wei Zilin being here was indeed different from not being here.
She could feel his presence everywhere. It made her a little uneasy and unable to focus all her attention on cooking.
She didn't know if it was because she didn't dare to look up. But she kept feeling that Wei Zilin's gaze was always on her. She didn't know what he was looking at or what he was thinking about.
She couldn't help but notice if there was anything wrong with her body. Did she look bad wearing an apron? Did she look bad when she chopped vegetables? In short, it was hard to focus.
She didn't understand Wei Zilin's gaze.
Wei Zilin didn't think much about it. He only focused on Xu Moyan's movements. Different from her own worries, this was the first time he paid so much attention to someone's cooking. It looked good.
Her body was straight and her head was lowered. For the convenience of cooking, her previously loose hair was casually tied into a bun at the back of her head, revealing her fair and elegant neck. The action of lowering her head made her neck slender and elegant.
Another strand of hair by her ear wasn't well-behaved enough and gradually fell down. Wei Zilin almost raised his hand to push that strand of hair behind her ear.
He raised his hand before realizing that it was inappropriate and put it back down.
She seemed to be not very used to his nearness. From her reaction, she didn't seem to reject or hate it. She just wasn't used to it. Every time he got close, it would make her flustered.
So he thought, it's better not to be rash. He should take it step by step. He didn't want her to think that he was a casual man and leave a bad impression.
The two of them didn't speak. The kitchen wasn't quiet. It was filled with the roar of the range hood and the crisp sound of the knife being raised and lowered.
Even so, it was still a little awkward not to say anything.
Xu Moyan felt that she was so nervous that she couldn't breathe. Especially since Wei Zilin's gaze was still on her.
She was a little worried that the imperfections on her face had been discovered by him.
Just as she was thinking about this, she heard Wei Zilin say, "I've seen those cooking videos on your Weibo. I hope you don't mind."
Xu Moyan was slightly stunned. Then, she smiled and shook her head. "No, I put it on there for people to see. It's just that my Weibo is only known by Lin Chu and Yuntong. Now, there's you and Assistant Shen. But I feel that Assistant Shen probably won't mind. "
His attention was on Zheng Yuntong. Other unrelated people really didn't have anything to do with him.
Wei Zilin also understood the teasing in her words. He chuckled. His sweet laughter was like jade colliding with each other. It came out of his throat and hit Xu Moyan's heart, making her heart shrink.
"Among the people I know in real life, only you guys know this account. I'm indeed a little embarrassed. I probably feel that the internet should be separated from reality. Even though there's nothing inappropriate in the account, it's still a little embarrassing to be seen by familiar people. "Xu Moyan said and suddenly paused.
Indeed, there was nothing inappropriate in the past. But on the night of Yu Lingling's interview, she foolishly posted a Weibo post about embarrassing herself in front of her idol.
This happened a few days ago. She didn't post frequently on Weibo. If Wei Zilin went to browse, he would see that Weibo post after scrolling down a few posts.
Xu Moyan groaned in her heart. She had already confirmed Wei Zilin's identity as Yu Lingling. She just hoped that he wouldn't guess from that Weibo post that she was the idiot who asked him if he needed a girlfriend that night.
But even if he didn't guess it, just that Weibo post alone was quite embarrassing.
She wasn't worried that Wei Zilin would recognize her voice. After all, it was just a simple sentence. And it was said under the condition that she was extremely nervous and her voice was trembling. It was different from how she repeatedly listened to Yu Lingling's voice for six years before she could match Wei Zilin with Yu Lingling. And just based on what she said that night, Wei Zilin shouldn't be able to recognize her.
Probably ….
Wei Zilin smiled slightly. "I think you filmed it very well. The image is very nice. Just as Zheng Yuntong said, it's very … refreshing."
He didn't seem to be familiar with this word. Even when he said it, it felt a little strange.
"But why didn't you just dub it? Why did you use subtitles instead? It would be a lot more troublesome for the post-production." Wei Zilin watched as Xu Moyan sprinkled a bit of sliced ginger on the lotus.
"You don't have confidence. After hearing so many beautiful voices, you always feel that my voice isn't nice and will ruin the beautiful image. If my voice is nice, I also hope that I can dub it for the video. It should add a lot of color. "Xu Moyan smiled and picked up the plate of sweet and sour lotus slices.
She felt that anyone who had heard Yu Linling's voice for too long would dislike their own voice a little.
"I feel that your voice is not bad. It's the very clean kind. There aren't many people with such a clean voice nowadays, "Wei Zilin said.
Xu Moyan was stunned. Before she could think of how to reply, Wei Zilin took the sweet and sour lotus slices from her hands. He glanced at the clean and tidy table. "This is the last dish?"
Xu Moyan had the habit of cooking. While cooking, she would use the time to clean up the table and pots. So after last night's dishes, the table was also very clean, as if it had been specially tidied up.
Xu Moyan still hadn't recovered from the previous sentence. She nodded in a daze. "Yes, I'll get four more bowls of rice. Then we can start eating."
"I'll take it out first." Wei Zilin nodded. Without waiting for Xu Moyan's reaction, he had already taken the lotus slices out.
After a while, he returned. At this time, Xu Moyan had just filled two bowls of rice.
Wei Zilin didn't say much. He just tacitly took the two bowls of rice out. A gust of wind came and went, leaving Xu Moyan with a light and refreshing aura.
Zheng Yuntong and Shen Zongyi were already sitting at the dining table waiting. Seeing Wei Zilin personally carrying the dishes and shuttling between the kitchen and dining room, she couldn't help but tilt her head and whisper to Shen Zongyi, "Why do I feel that Boss is very comfortable in our house? It's like he's at home. He's so busy, as if he and Moyan are …" a couple.
Before Zheng Yuntong could finish her sentence, Wei Zilin and Xu Moyan had already come out and sat down at the dining table.
Zheng Yuntong hurriedly retracted her neck and sat upright. Shen Zongyi, who was originally very happy because of her approaching, was now a little unhappy. He looked at Wei Zilin with resentment. He brought Wei Zilin over out of goodwill, but in the end, their emotional interaction was always obstructed by Wei Zilin.
Zheng Yuntong finally took the initiative to approach them. How could Wei Zilin come out at such a bad time!
