However, she didn't think much of it, just gently dried her hair and walked lightly towards the living room.
As I passed the kitchen, I looked through the glass door and saw Lu Qingzhou cooking.
The corners of her mouth unconsciously turned up, revealing a gentle smile.
She gently pushed open the kitchen door: "Honey, what are you making for dinner tonight?"
Lu Qingzhou was preoccupied with her own thoughts when she was startled by the sudden sound, and the spoon in her hand almost flew out of her hand.
His voice sounded somewhat unnatural, with a hint of barely concealed panic: "Ah... just, just stir-fry a few dishes."
As he spoke, his eyes darted around, and he didn't dare to look directly at Su Qingyao. He just hurriedly lowered his head, staring intently at the pot, pretending to be focused on stir-frying the vegetables in the pot.
Seeing Lu Qingzhou's somewhat unusual expression, Su Qingyao frowned slightly and asked with concern, "What's wrong? You don't look well."
Lu Qingzhou's heart skipped a beat.
'Damn, is it that obvious?'
He glanced at the burn on the back of his hand and forced a slightly stiff smile: "It's nothing, it's nothing. I just accidentally got splashed with oil, it hurts a little."
Hearing him say that, Su Qingyao looked distressed and hurriedly went over, extending her fair fingers to gently hold his hand and examine it; "How could you be so careless? I'll go get you some medicine to apply."
Seeing Su Qingyao's concerned expression, Lu Qingzhou felt as if he had been struck hard by a hammer, and a sense of guilt arose in his heart.
He took a deep breath and tried to calm himself down, but his heart was still pounding like a drum.
Su Qingyao hurriedly returned with the medicine.
Holding Lu Qingzhou's hand, she carefully applied the ointment to his skin.
Her eyes were fixed intently on the scalded area on Lu Qingzhou's hand, and she moved very carefully, afraid that she might hurt him if she was even slightly rough.
Lu Qingzhou watched Su Qingyao's movements absentmindedly, but his eyes were secretly observing her expression.
Seeing the pained look on her face, Lu Qingzhou felt an even stronger sense of guilt, which almost consumed him completely.
'Yaoyao cares about me so much, I can't be so foolish.'
Su Qingyao noticed Lu Qingzhou's slightly heavy breathing.
She quickly looked up at him and asked, "Does it hurt a lot?"
Lu Qingzhou shook her head, "No, it's nothing."
At this moment, Zhouzhou, who was sitting on the sofa in the living room watching TV, saw Su Qingyao hurriedly walk into the kitchen with medicine. Her big eyes blinked, full of curiosity.
She immediately dropped the remote control in her hand, and with her short legs, followed after him like a little cannonball.
She peeked out from behind Su Qingyao, tilted her little head to look at Lu Qingzhou's hand, and asked with a worried expression, "Daddy, how did you hurt your hand?"
Although the voice was young, it was full of concern.
Lu Qingzhou glanced at her, his eyes full of tenderness, and said softly, "It's alright, Dad just got burned by the oil."
Zhouzhou said "Oh".
She said in a childish voice, "Be careful next time. Does it hurt? I'll blow on it for you."
As she spoke, she pouted and gently blew on Lu Qingzhou's hand, looking as serious as a little adult.
Her cheeks puffed out slightly from blowing hard, and her eyes were fixed on Lu Qingzhou's hand, as if she could blow away the pain.
Lu Qingzhou and Su Qingyao chuckled as they looked at Zhouzhou's adorable appearance.
Lu Qingzhou smiled and patted her head: "It's okay, some medicine will do the trick. You can play now, we can eat in a little while."
After Lu Qingzhou applied the medicine, Zhouzhou's bright black eyes stared at the phone Lu Qingzhou had put in her pocket.
She said playfully, "Dad, can I play with your phone for a while?"
Before Lu Qingzhou could respond, Su Qingyao frowned slightly and said softly, "What are kids doing playing on their phones? They'll go blind."
Zhouzhou glanced at Su Qingyao, then put on a pitiful look, her little mouth pouting slightly.
Lu Qingzhou smiled, ultimately unable to refuse Zhouzhou's expectant gaze. She then took out her phone from her pocket and said, "It's okay, let her play for a while."
Lu Qingzhou glanced at an unread message on her phone screen, thinking she would check it later, and handed the phone to Zhouzhou without paying much attention.
Su Qingyao laughed and scolded, "You just spoil her. What will you do if you spoil her too much?"
Then he looked at Zhouzhou and said sternly, "You can only watch for ten minutes. You must return the phone to your father."
Zhouzhou nodded hurriedly, grabbed her phone, and ran to the living room.
With a few deft swipes of her little finger across Lu Qingzhou's phone screen, she unlocked the screen.
Su Qingyao returned to the living room and threw the cotton swab in the trash can.
I sat on the sofa, casually watching the cartoon that Zhouzhou was playing on TV.
After watching for a while, she turned to look at Zhouzhou, only to see that the little girl was still playing on her phone, her fingers constantly tapping the screen, completely absorbed in what she was watching.
She pouted and said sternly, "Su Yizhou, it's time to play on your phone."
Upon hearing this, Zhouzhou gave a soft snort, made a bitter face, and reluctantly tossed her phone onto the sofa.
He muttered discontentedly, "Fine, I won't watch it then. You shouldn't watch my cartoons either."
Su Qingyao immediately straightened her face, her eyes carrying a hint of maternal authority: "You've got some nerve, daring to talk back to me."
As he spoke, he reached out to grab Zhouzhou.
Zhouzhou wasn't stupid; she knew that if they got caught, she would definitely get a "lesson," so she and Su Qingyao chased each other around the coffee table.
Her short legs moved quickly, like a nimble little rabbit.
Looking at Su Qingyao's gloomy face, Zhouzhou shouted angrily, "If you hit me, I'll have Daddy deal with you and make you cry."
