Translator: Endlessæantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Yan Ruo had never seen Bai Lin so expressive and naturally showing her emotions. For a moment, he was both fond and curious. He could not help but want to tease her, to see more expressions on her face.
He looked down and saw Bai Lin clenching her little fist, as if she was going to rush up to him and give him a beating in the next second. Yan Ruo was afraid that he would really make her angry, so he turned around and said, “Granny, Xiao Lin’s just being kind. I’m not very skilled in the kitchen. Do you want to ask Xiao Lin to help too?”
Granny looked at Bai Lin who was outside the door. She could tell that Bai Lin was acting coquettishly again.
No matter how this child was outside, she would always be a delicate little girl at home and around the people close to her.
Since she was willing to show this side of herself in front of others, did it mean that she had already accepted Yan Ruo as someone close to her?
Granny smiled and said, “My dear darling, get me four eggs. Xiao Yan doesn’t know where the eggs are. Only you can help me with this.”
Bai Lin immediately smiled and nodded. “Mm! I’m coming!’
Right after that, she gave Yan Ruo a warning look as if saying “Granny likes me the most!”.
Yan Ruo laughed helplessly. He had truly gained too much today. He had seen many different sides of Bai Lin, and he liked every single one of them.
He could not wait to bring Bai Lin home so that he would be the only one to see all her expressions.
After Bai Lin took the eggs, there was nothing else for her to do. Yan Ruo, on the other hand, was helping Granny in the kitchen while he inquired about Bai Lin’s eating habits and preferences.
It was rare for Granny to have such an opportunity, and she was very willing to tell Yan Ruo. In the time it took to cook a meal, Yan Ruo even knew about Bai Lin’s extremely unremarkable habit of using her left hand to peel an apple.
Bai Lin wanted to stop Granny, but a voice in her heart was telling her, “Let him know, let him understand you better.”
In the end, Bai Lin did not interrupt them.
Granny was very good at cooking. She could even cook the most common home-cooked dishes deliciously. She moved quick, and with Yan Ruffs help in cooking, she was even faster. Not long after, four simple dishes and a soup were served on the table.
Bai Lin had a strange habit. She liked to add a little sugar to the rice and mix it well before eating.
Of course, Yan Ruo already knew about this habit of her as Granny had told him everything.
He held a small jar of white sugar and pa.s.sed it to Bai Lin. Bai Lin wanted to take it, but she felt that everything about her would be under his control at the same time. She was having a huge battle in her heart.
Granny looked at the silent stalemate between the two and could not help but burst out laughing.
Bai Lin’s face turned red as she s.n.a.t.c.hed the sugar jar away. Granny’s smile made her feel a little bashful. She did not know where this feeling came from, but she knew that she did not want to face Yan Ruo anymore.
It was unexpected that the more panicked and anxious a person was, the worse they would do.
Bai Lin had actually poured a large spoonful of white sugar into the rice.
When Yan Ruo saw that Bai Lin also had a clumsy side to her, he felt that his Xiao Lin was really cute.
Bai Lin was a little annoyed. She did not know what was wrong with her. Ever since Yan Ruo said that he was coming yesterday, she had been feeling a little strange. She felt that her heart was beating very fast. She had done 50 push-ups and 50 sit-ups on the floor last night, but she was still frustrated.
In the end, she ran five kilometers outside at 11 p.m. before she managed to suppress the inexplicable restlessness in her heart.
There was a pampering smile on Yan Ruffs face. He took Bai Lin’s bowl of rice with excessive white sugar and placed his own bowl of rice that had not been touched in front of her. He opened the sugar jar and gently sprinkled some white sugar on it.
“Is this much okay?” he asked softly.
Bai Lin did not expect Yan Ruo to do this. She picked up her chopsticks and poked the rice a few times, mixing the white sugar together to hide her panic. “Okay, okay. Eat your rice!”
Granny looked at the interaction between the two of them, feeling pink and sweet bubbles poured out like a can of soda water that had just been opened. She could also see that Yan Ruo was a child who would tolerate Bai Lin, so she was very satisfied with this grandson-in-law of hers..
