Chapter 75 Senior Misunderstood
"What's up?"
Li Beiting turned around to look at her and continued without waiting for her to answer.
"I still have work to do. If it's not serious business, we can talk later."
Jiang Yao's words were blocked again.
She said sullenly, "It's okay."
For the next half day, the two passed each other many times in the laboratory, but there was no opportunity for formal communication.
Jiang Yao was always a little uneasy.
Li Beiting left early after school.
Lian Yingying and the others invited her to dinner, but Jiang Yao refused.
She returned to the villa in a delicate mood, but happened to run into Li Beiting again.
This time, Jiang Yao didn't hesitate any longer. He took the initiative to step forward and handed over a beautiful packaging box.
"Senior, thank you for sending me back last night. Although you said that I didn't need to thank you all the time, you have helped me so many times. This is a small gift I made myself as a reward. I won't bother you if I don't have anything important to do in the future."
She has never been a person who doesn't know her limits. Since the other person's attitude is cold, she will keep her distance.
After saying that, Jiang Yao turned around and was about to leave.
Li Beiting suddenly called out from behind, "Aren't you going out with your boyfriend tonight?"
"What?"
Jiang Yao's footsteps suddenly stopped.
She turned around and looked at him in surprise, "My boyfriend?"
"It was Mr. Qin yesterday. You admitted it yourself."
Li Beiting appeared calm on the surface, but the palms of his hands hanging by his sides were slightly sweaty.
“How could I…”
Jiang Yao was halfway through his speech when a vague scene suddenly flashed back in his mind and he couldn't help but burst out laughing.
His brows and eyes relaxed.
"Senior, I think you misunderstood. I was too drunk yesterday and might have said something wrong in my daze. In fact, I have only met Mr. Qin a few times, and he is not my boyfriend."
After he finished speaking, a hint of surprise flashed in Li Beiting's eyes.
His complexion began to improve at a visible speed.
"Is it a misunderstanding?"
He confirmed again.
"Of course it's a misunderstanding." Jiang Yao emphasized seriously.
At that moment, a rare faint smile appeared on Li Beiting's face.
It's like ice and snow melting.
A pair of deep and vast eyes looked at her steadily.
Jiang Yao's cheeks started to feel hot for some unknown reason when he was stared at. Even his heartbeat became irregular, with sudden arrhythmia.
She thought it was the aftereffect of being drunk last night.
Otherwise, why would she have the illusion that the senior was very happy knowing that she didn't have a boyfriend?
This must be an illusion, right?
"Yeah." Li Beiting didn't continue the conversation. "I accept this gift."
After the misunderstanding was cleared up, he took the initiative to invite her out, in a rare good mood.
"Want to come to my house for dinner?"
Jiang Yao came back to his senses and was a little surprised, "You can cook?"
“…”
Li Beiting couldn't say anything against his will, so he could only say, "I can order takeout."
Jiang Yao found it a little funny. "How about this? I'll cook for you myself and make you a meal. How about that?"
Li Beiting: "Isn't it troublesome?"
"What's the trouble? You hosted me at the Imperial Hotel last time, and I haven't invited you back yet. Although my cooking skills are not as good as those of a five-star chef, it's still decent. It depends on whether Mr. Li is willing to give me the honor."
Jiang Yao's eyes were bright and her mood became very good after the misunderstanding was resolved.
"Then I will respectfully obey your command."
Jiang Yao followed Li Beiting into his house.
I was in a bad mood when I came here last time and hadn't taken a close look at the decoration of this villa.
Now, when she takes a look at it, she finds that its design, structure and style are very similar to her villa.
It is very likely that they are the style of the same designer.
Her villa was given to her by her uncle.
What about Li Beiting?
"Senior, did you buy this villa yourself?"
She asked with some curiosity.
"It was given to me by an elder in my family." Li Beiting answered casually.
Jiang Yao thought, what a coincidence, the elders of both families actually found the same decoration company.
When she followed Li Beiting to the kitchen and opened the refrigerator, she discovered another problem.
It's empty inside.
It can be seen that he really doesn't cook much!
Li Beiting felt a little embarrassed for once and wanted to forget it.
Jiang Yao didn't think it was a difficult task.
"It's okay, I'll go home and get some food, wait for me."
After she finished speaking, she went out. When she told Wang Ma that she was going to cook for Li Beiting, the meaningful expression on his face made her feel uncomfortable.
Afraid that Aunt Wang would say something else, Jiang Yao hurried back after taking the dishes.
Although Li Beiting can't cook, he is not idle either.
Jiang Yao was busy in the kitchen, and he helped by washing and cutting vegetables.
The slender fingers dipped in water pressed the vegetables, while the other hand held the kitchen knife to cut them.
Jiang Yao was watching with trepidation, fearing that he might cut his fingers. Those were a pair of hands that could earn tens of millions in minutes, and they might even be insured.
Fortunately, her worries were unnecessary.
Although Li Beiting's movements were unfamiliar, he was not clumsy at all.
The cut was done cleanly and neatly, and the afterglow of the setting sun outside the window shone on him, revealing a certain artistic beauty.
Jiang Yao felt that he was also possessed by a ghost. He was so fascinated by the act of cutting vegetables that he could become obsessed with it.
She got to work quickly, and the two of them worked well together.
An hour later, a table of delicious food was served.
Jiang Yao sat at the dining table, looking at the man opposite with shining eyes.
"How is it? Does it taste okay?"
Li Beiting picked up one and tasted it, and his taste buds were filled with a familiar taste.
It tastes exactly like what I had as a child.
His eyes changed.
"It was delicious."
Jiang Yao's eyebrows curved, and he felt a strange and indescribable sense of accomplishment and satisfaction in his heart.
It was a very enjoyable meal.
On the way, the two were talking about research topics, and Li Beiting suddenly mentioned something.
"Do you remember the academic seminar I mentioned last time?"
Jiang Yao was stunned when he heard this.
Of course she remembered.
At that time, she had been waiting for a long time, waiting for Li Beiting to invite her.
Unfortunately, he never mentioned it later. She thought it was over and felt sad for a while.
"Something happened at University A before, and the seminar was postponed. But it will be held again soon. I wonder if you would still be willing to honor me then?"
Jiang Yao's eyes became bright and dazzling again, "Of course I do."
We chatted for a while about the topic of the research.
It's very late.
Jiang Yao got up and prepared to go back, but when he went out, he found that it was raining heavily outside.
Even the air became chilly.
"I send you."
Li Beiting took out a black umbrella and opened it.
Keep rain out.
Jiang Yao did not refuse his kindness.
The man held an umbrella and took her into the rain.
The two of them were so close that they could even hear each other's breathing clearly.
Jiang Yao felt a little uncomfortable, but then she noticed that the man had held the umbrella on her side, and her right shoulder was wet.
"Come closer!"
Li Beiting moved closer obediently.
His long arms touched her shoulders.
Even though there was a layer of cloth between us, it felt as if a heat spread throughout our bodies along the place where we were touching.
Jiang Yao felt that his breathing was a little difficult and his head was dizzy, as if he was still drunk.
He didn't notice the puddle of water on the slippery ground in front of him and just stepped on it.
As a result, my foot slipped.
Before she could even scream, Li Beiting grabbed her waist and pulled her into his arms.
Her head rested against the man's warm chest.
"thump"……
"thump"……
