"How did it come to this?"

Song Zhizhen looked at the two people's embarrassed appearance and blurted out in surprise.

Ran Qiu brushed off the dust on his body and looked at Tang Junhe beside him with a stern face.

She immediately understood what was going on and looked at Tang Junhe in disbelief.

"You set the kitchen on fire?"

Tang Junhe's face froze, and he immediately corrected: "It's just the stove."

He had never cooked before and stuffed too much firewood into the stove at once. Unexpectedly, the fire became so big that the flames burst out of the stove.

Fortunately, Ran Qiu reacted in time. When he found that something was wrong, he immediately picked up a basin of water beside him and poured it on the fire. The fire was extinguished immediately, and thick smoke billowed out, smoking both of them out.

So, the scene that Song Zhi just saw happened.

Hearing this, Song Zhi didn't know what to say for a moment.

She looked at Tang Junhe speechlessly, unable to speak for a long time.

You can't praise him for doing a good job, at least he didn't order the kitchen directly, but only the stove?

Even Ran Qiu, who was usually good-tempered, was angered by Tang Junhe this time. He had a cold face and spoke to Tang Junhe in a harsh tone.

"Don't come into the kitchen again."

Ran Qiu was really afraid of Tang Junhe.

He had used this kitchen for so many years and nothing had ever happened there, but this time it was almost set on fire by Tang Junhe. He still felt a lingering fear when he thought of the flames rising into the sky.

When the three little guys heard the noise, they all came over. After understanding the whole story, the three clever little guys looked at each other and covered their mouths and laughed secretly.

"This brother is so stupid. We have never lit a stove before."

San Ya even muttered softly.

When Tang Junhe heard this, his face instantly darkened.

But he was not in a bad mood at the moment, after all, it was indeed his fault.

He ignored me first, so naturally there was nothing more to say.

"You two should go wash your faces."

Song Zhi shook his head helplessly and urged the two men who were covered in dust.

The two followed her to the pool.

Song Zhi fetched a basin of well water for them to wash their faces.

In such weather, the well water is even warm and does not feel cold.

Ran Qiu was fine, just a little dust on his body. Now that he had washed it off, he looked back to his original appearance, and his dishevel was much less messy.

But not only was a piece of Tang Junhe's clothes burned off, but even a little hair on his forehead was singed by the fire.

Fortunately, it was just a little bit, otherwise, if the fire started, wouldn’t it burn him bald?

Song Zhi's expression became even more helpless.

"You don't know how to light a fire, so why do you insist on rushing to do the work? Look at what has happened now."

Tang Junhe's face became even uglier after being scolded by her, but because Ran Qiu was still present, he said nothing.

"I'm going to cook first."

Ran Qiu dusted himself off, turned around and went back into the kitchen.

Only Song Zhi and Tang Junhe were left by the well.

"Don't rush to do things you don't know how to do in the future. Today, luckily, only the stove burned. If it burned down the house, it would be terrible!"

Song Zhi had a serious face.

Ran Qiu's family only has this one house, and it was left by their ancestors.

Tang Junhe replied with three words in a muffled voice.

"knew."

Song Zhi gave him a towel and asked him to wipe his face. When he was about to leave, he suddenly heard Tang Junhe, who was wiping his face, say.

"I just don't want you to be alone with him. It makes me feel uncomfortable."

His voice was not loud.

Every word and sentence fell into Song Zhi's ears clearly.

Song Zhi paused and looked at him in surprise.

She found it hard to believe that such straightforward words came out of Tang Junhe's mouth.

But she still lowered her eyes and said, "I don't have that kind of thought about Ran Qiu, so don't bother me."

He almost burned down a house because of this.

Tang Junhe pursed his lips tightly and looked at her with burning eyes.

However, before he could speak, he heard Song Zhi speak again.

"Of course, I don't have any thoughts about you either."

Song Zhi looked at him deeply before speaking with her lips pursed.

"You're on your own."

She doesn't want to have a relationship now. She just wants to complete her studies, raise Xiao Qingbai, and help Song Anshan run the company in the future.

Tang Junhe stopped talking quietly, and his hands hanging by his sides were slightly clenched.

After Song Zhi finished speaking, she turned around and went into the kitchen without caring about his reaction.

After all this trouble, a lot of time was wasted. Ran Qiu was too busy in the kitchen alone, so she went to help.

"Why did you come in? Go out now, I can do it alone."

Seeing her come in, Ran Qiu was a little surprised. He quickly put down the green onion in his hand and stopped her from pushing the person out.

The fire had just been put out in the house, but there was still an unpleasant pungent smell.

But it was getting dark soon, and Ran Qiu had no time to clean up, so he could only prepare lunch first.

"We've been friends for such a long time, don't be so polite to me."

Song Zhi walked around his hand and went straight to the stove. She tidied up the messy firewood next to the stove and started to make a fire.

Just now, a basin of water was poured on the firewood, which got wet and couldn't burn. Song Zhi could only pick up some dry firewood again.

But the stove was also wet, and it was still difficult to light a fire.

"Let me do it."

Seeing this, Ran Qiu hurried over to help.

Ran Qiu was obviously experienced. He first put a layer of corn cobs underneath, then put dry firewood on top, and then lit it. Sparks came out little by little, and it caught fire in a short while.

Although the fire was not very big because the stove was a little wet.

But as long as you burn it for a while and dry the stove, everything will be fine.

Song Zhi gave him a thumbs up and praised him sincerely.

"sharp."

The kitchen window reflected the two people talking and laughing, and all of it fell into the eyes of Tang Junhe outside the window.

He looked at Ran Qiu's tender eyes when he looked at Song Zhi, and his expression became even more tense.

His eyes fell on the slender figure, and his mind recalled what she had just said.

Even if you don't have any thoughts, what about Ran Qiu?

Everyone knows what Ran Qiu is thinking.

As a man himself, Tang Junhe knew very well what Ran Qiu was thinking.

He just doesn't dare to take action because he has nothing now, so he feels inferior. But what about the future?

When he has some career in the future, he will definitely not suppress his thoughts like he does now.

He was like a time bomb next to Song Zhi, which could explode at any time.

Moreover, love grows over time. If Song Zhi always has him by her side, she might really fall in love with him.

What man can tolerate such a rival who is always by his sweetheart's side?
