Oh no! My online romance partner is actually a Miao holy maiden!

However, just as he picked up his phone, he heard a noise outside the door.

Who is it?

Xu Yi called out.

Hesitantly, he started walking towards the door.

"Brother Yi, it's Ling'er! Aren't you surprised? Aren't you surprised?"

The door opened, and Bai Ling instantly came into Xu Yi's view.

She was carrying large and small plastic bags from the vegetable market.

She was tilting her head and smiling sweetly at Xu Yi, her eyes sparkling. There was no trace of the resentment she had shown in the cafeteria at noon.

Xu Yi looked at the girl in front of him.

For a moment, I was pleasantly surprised, and my voice unconsciously rose a few decibels.

"Ling'er? Didn't you say you moved back to the dorm? Why are you here again?"

Bai Ling'er pouted and gave a slightly arrogant snort. As she squeezed into the room, she muttered, "I came here to have dinner with Brother Yi. Going back to the dormitory was Third Brother's idea, not Ling'er's."

She placed the heavy plastic bag on the table, turned her head, and looked at Xu Yi with a pained expression.

"With Ling'er not here, Brother Yi will definitely order all that takeout again. I just went to the supermarket and bought a lot of your favorite dishes. Ling'er will cook for you tonight."

As she spoke, she casually kicked off her shoes, put on slippers, and walked towards the kitchen.

Xu Yi was left standing there alone, somewhat lost in thought.

For some reason, the moment I saw Bai Ling'er...

The emptiness in his heart was instantly filled.

There was even a hint of sweetness that he himself didn't realize.

Watching Bai Ling'er's busy figure in the kitchen.

Xu Yi felt a sudden tenderness in her heart, deeply moved.

He breathed a sigh of relief and strode over, saying, "Ling'er, let me help you pick the vegetables."

"Oh, Brother Yi, hurry up and get out of here! The kitchen is smoky..."

Bai Ling'er heard the sound and was about to turn around and push him, but she overestimated the distance between them.

As she turned, she unexpectedly bumped into Xu Yi's arms.

Xu Yi instinctively reached out and grabbed it.

His palm landed precisely on the girl's slender waist, and he gently pulled her into his arms.

Their bodies were pressed tightly together.

Xu Yi was so close that he could clearly feel the astonishing heat emanating from the girl's body.

Bai Ling'er tilted her head slightly, her eyes reflecting Xu Yi's somewhat flustered face.

Xu Yi's heart rate jumped to 180 at that moment.

For some reason, his gaze was fixed on Bai Ling'er's slightly parted red lips, which were trembling with surprise.

Her lips were moist and red, radiating an alluring color.

Xu Yi felt a sudden dryness in his throat, and his breathing became heavy.

The two were getting closer and closer...

"Glug glug..."

The water that was boiling in the pot suddenly boiled, making a loud "clattering" sound as it hit the lid.

This instantly shattered the already ambiguous atmosphere.

Xu Yi suddenly realized what was happening and released Bai Ling'er in a flash.

He took a step back somewhat awkwardly, coughing dryly, and said, "Um... the pot's boiling, be careful."

Bai Ling'er wasn't angry after being released. Instead, she noticed Xu Yi's bright red ears and panicked eyes. She just felt that her brother Yi was too funny.

She turned around and turned off the heat, her voice filled with undisguised joy.

"Okay, I'll listen to Brother Yi."

The atmosphere in the kitchen then became somewhat awkward.

Although Xu Yi was helping to wash the vegetables, his eyes kept drifting towards Bai Ling'er.

Bai Ling'er, as if on purpose, would occasionally and accidentally get into physical contact with Xu Yi while getting seasonings.

The kitchen was filled with smoke and fire as they waited for the three dishes and soup to be served.

A fine layer of sweat had already formed on Bai Ling'er's fair forehead, and a few strands of hair clung to her temples, adding a touch of captivating purity and allure.

Xu Yi felt a pang of heartache and gently called out to her, "Ling'er, wait a moment, don't move."

Bai Ling'er stood obediently in place, blinking her eyes in confusion.

Xu Yi walked over and casually pulled a tissue from the tissue box next to him.

He gently wiped the sweat from her forehead.

His eyes were overflowing with tenderness.

Bai Ling'er keenly sensed Xu Yi's change.

Although her brother Yi had been good to her before, he always maintained a somewhat distant and guarded demeanor.

Now, his gentleness finally carries a man's possessiveness and tenderness.

"Thank you, Brother Yi. Ling'er loves it when Brother Yi takes care of me the most."

Bai Ling'er greedily enjoyed Xu Yi's service.

Her voice was incredibly soft and sweet, but her eyes held a deeper desire.

See, Brother Yi, you can't escape!

If Ling'er works just a little harder, it won't be long before we can take you back to the village to get married!

The two sat facing each other at the dining table.

Xu Yi picked up some food for Bai Ling'er while chewing absentmindedly.

He felt that something was different about the atmosphere tonight, but he couldn't quite put his finger on it.

After dinner, Bai Ling'er stood up and began to clear the dishes.

"Brother Yi, you can sit down and rest. You must be tired from class this afternoon. Ling'er will go wash the dishes."

"Let me do it, you're already tired enough from cooking."

Xu Yi stood up.

"No, Mother said that my husband's hands will become rough from washing dishes, and it will hurt when they become rough. Ling'er can do this."

Without saying a word, Bai Ling'er pressed Xu Yi back onto the sofa and took the plate into the kitchen.

Xu Yi was completely confused. Was it hurting from the grinding?

The moment Bai Ling'er stepped into the kitchen, a smile appeared on her lips.

The strategy of feigning weakness to lure the enemy into a trap, and using retreat as a means of advancement, proved to be very effective.

Since the concession at noon made Brother Yi feel bad, now we have to add fuel to the fire.

As Bai Ling'er pondered this, she slowly and methodically washed the dishes.

When she was washing the last porcelain bowl, she deliberately loosened her grip and used a clever trick.

"Snap!"

A crisp cracking sound rang out in the kitchen.

"what!"

Immediately following was Bai Ling'er's sweet cry.

Upon hearing this voice, Xu Yi immediately jumped up from the sofa.

He had only one thought in his mind: Ling'er is injured!

"Ling'er!"

Xu Yifeng rushed into the kitchen like a whirlwind.

At a glance, you can see Bai Ling'er squatting on the ground, and there is a bright red cut on her fair right index finger.

In that instant, Xu Yi felt as if something had clenched his heart tightly, making him extremely nervous.

His mind went completely blank on instinct.

Without even thinking, I stepped over it.

He grabbed Bai Ling'er's injured wrist and put the bleeding finger in his mouth.

"Hmm..."

The warm mouth instantly enveloped the wound.

Xu Yi sucked hard, trying to clean the blood from the wound.

Bai Ling'er, who was squatting on the ground, froze completely.

She originally just wanted to pretend to be injured to test how much Xu Yi cared about her, and also to feel guilty.

But she never expected that Brother Yi, who usually acted like an innocent virgin even when holding hands, would be so rough and direct this time.

Once the bloody taste in my mouth subsided.

Xu Yicai anxiously took his finger out, examining it carefully while also blaming him.

"How could you be so careless? There's a first-aid kit at home. Wait for me, I'll go get some iodine and bandages..."

As they were talking, Xu Yi looked up.

He met Bai Ling'er's gaze, which was fixed intently on him.

His eyes were like a hunter staring at his prey.

Xu Yi's mind cleared instantly, and he suddenly felt a chill run down his spine.

Damn it! What was I doing just now?!

Suck it straight in the mouth? What kind of cheesy, domineering CEO move is this?! You must watch too many adult dramas!
