With a "gulp", Xia Xi subconsciously swallowed the food in her mouth into her throat. It was stuck, so she turned her face and coughed.
Xu Yanfeng moved his fingertips, the emotion in his eyes dissipated, he raised his hand and patted her back, the corners of his lips slightly raised, as if smiling: "How can you choke while eating fruit?"
Xia Xi's face flushed red, and she pretended to be calm and asked indifferently, "Why is it you?"
Xu Yanfeng slowly spoke: "Who do you think you are?"
Xia Xi didn't answer, and returned her gaze to the computer: "I need to work."
The implication is that you can leave.
Seeing her like this, Xu Yanfeng knew that she was still angry. He sighed silently and told himself not to be impatient and to take it slow.
"Okay, I won't bother you anymore." Xu Yanfeng placed the glass bowl of fruit next to her computer and tapped the table with his knuckles. "Remember to eat the fruit."
Xia Xi didn't look at him.
Xu Yanfeng turned and left her room, returning the door to its previous half-closed state.
After the person disappeared, Xia Xi turned around and looked at the door for a few seconds. Then her eyes moved to the bowl of fruit. Her expression relaxed a little, and she took a strawberry and bit it.
A memory rushed into her mind and her expression froze. Did she just bite Xu Yanfeng's finger?

The Cold War lasted for a week.
It was Monday again. Xia Xi got up early and heard the continuous clanging sounds of pots and pans coming from the kitchen. She wondered what Aunt Zhang was doing.
Unable to suppress his curiosity, Xia Xi walked over.
A similar scene was playing out in front of her - Xu Yanfeng took over Aunt Zhang's seat and was cooking at the sink. Aunt Zhang looked anxious and helpless, wanting to drive Xu Yanfeng away, but because of his status as her employer, she had to respect his wishes.
Aunt Zhang would say from time to time: "Let me do it."
No matter how many times Aunt Zhang said it, Xu Yanfeng remained unmoved, pretending not to hear. It was as if he had made a bet with someone and vowed to make a decent breakfast.
Aunt Zhang suddenly caught a glimpse of Xia Xi at the kitchen door, was stunned for a moment, and then gave her a helpless expression.
Xia Xi understood her helplessness and did not go over to dissuade her. He quietly left the kitchen and went to see the two children in the children's room.
Ziheng and Youyou both woke up and washed up in the bathroom of their respective rooms.
After waiting for a while, Xu Yanfeng brought out his masterpiece and placed it on the dining table.
He stir-fried a plate of shredded potatoes and fried a few eggs. Aunt Zhang prepared the rest: pumpkin and millet porridge, beef lasagna, and a few side dishes. It was a typical Chinese breakfast.
After Xia Xi and the two children sat down at the dining table, Xu Yanfeng served them porridge one by one.
Xia Xi stretched out her hand: "I myself..."
"Don't move." Xu Yanfeng interrupted her and placed a bowl of millet porridge in front of her. "Try the food I cooked."
He deliberately emphasized the three words "I did it".
Even if he didn't say it, Xia Xi knew it, she saw it with her own eyes.
However, Xu Yanfeng was concentrating on stir-frying the food in the wok and did not notice her.
Xia Xi stared at the plate of shredded potatoes. They didn't look very good, and some of them were even burnt. Then he looked at the fried eggs in another plate. Compared with the pile of "black charcoal" last time, it could be said that it was a great improvement.
Seeing that Xia Xi was still reluctant to pick up her chopsticks, Xu Yanfeng used his serving chopsticks to pick up a piece of food for her: "It's not poisonous, really."
Xia Xi: “…”
Does he have such low expectations for his cooking skills?
Ziheng and Youyou suddenly started laughing for some reason. Xia Xi looked at them and asked, "What are you laughing at?"
Youyou said, "Mom, your expression is similar to mine when I take medicine, haha."
Ziheng said, "Mom, your stomach isn't good. Don't force yourself if you don't want to eat."
Xu Yanfeng: “…”
Xia Xi tilted her head to look at Xu Yanfeng, who looked a little shocked. She paused, unable to remain as hard as iron, and took a bite of the shredded potatoes he had just given her.
It wasn't as bad as she'd imagined, but it wasn't delicious either. She commented calmly, "It's okay."
Ziheng didn't believe it: "Really? Don't lie to a child just to save his pride."
The "others" he mentioned were Xu Yanfeng, who said with a sullen face, "Brat, don't think I won't beat up kids."
Ziheng stopped talking and lowered his head to eat the lasagna.
Xia Xi spoke up at the right time to defend Xu Yanfeng: "It's really okay."
Xu Yanfeng was instantly flattered and said gently, "If you like me, I'll do it more often in the future."
Xia Xi paused, drank a mouthful of porridge, and then said, "No need."
Xu Yanfeng hesitated and asked, "You just said it was okay. Were you trying to comfort me?"
Xia Xi glanced up at him and pushed the plate of shredded potatoes towards him: "You made this dish yourself, haven't you ever tasted it?"
Xu Yanfeng had indeed never tasted it before, but after hearing her say so, he picked up a few and put them in his mouth. Perhaps because he had a filter for what he made, he felt that being able to achieve this level of skill was already considered talented.
But why did she refuse him to cook for her again in the future?
Xu Yanfeng asked what was in his heart. Xia Xi was silent for a moment and said, "There is no need to learn how to cook. Aren't you busy at work?" Why waste time on such trivial matters for a big boss who is busy with all kinds of things? It's enough to have something to eat.
Xu Yanfeng: "Are you worried about me?"
Xia Xi: "What are you worried about?"
Xu Yanfeng lowered his eyelids and chuckled softly, "You're worried that I'm too tired from work."
Xia Xi was slightly speechless. His ability to understand was truly top-notch.
"Xu Yanfeng." She called his name seriously.
Xu Yanfeng's eyes moved slightly and he raised them: "What?"
Xia Xi said bluntly: "I give you the steps to let you come down, not to let you climb up."
