Xu Tingchuan watched her busy in the kitchen wearing an apron. Although her movements were a little clumsy, he found her incredibly adorable.
He went into the kitchen, gently wrapped his arms around her from behind, lowered his head, and inhaled the fragrance of her hair.
"It's not done yet, you can go out now." Ni Sitian was a little embarrassed that he saw her in such a flustered state. She really didn't have any talent for cooking, and she could make a mess of the kitchen even when she was trying to do something simple.
"Let me help you." Xu Tingchuan took her hand and helped her cut the kale.
Ni Sitian's ears turned red. With him hugging her from behind like this, she had no mind to chop vegetables. His breath was all over her face, making it hard to ignore his presence, and his large hands were also enveloping her hands.
Her heart skipped a beat, and her gaze shifted from the kale to his hands. His hands were large and wide, with long, slender fingers and distinct knuckles—they were very beautiful hands.
Such beautiful hands once touched her...
Ni Sitian's fingers slipped, a sharp pain shot through her fingertips, and she gasped softly.
Xu Tingchuan quickly grabbed her hand. The tip of her index finger was cut by the blade, and bright red blood gushed from her fair fingertip.
Without a second thought, he put her finger in his mouth and gently sucked her blood.
Ni Sitian was a little startled by his actions and subconsciously tried to pull her hand back, but he held it tightly.
Her fingertips were being sucked in his soft mouth, and a strange sensation flowed from her fingertips throughout her body.
She lowered her head, her cheeks burning red, her heart trembling slightly.
She didn't know what was wrong with her; her heart was pounding, and it felt like something was about to overflow from her chest, making her feel warm all over.
She had to admit that his gesture made her feel cherished, and she really liked that feeling.
Xu Tingchuan sucked on her finger for a while before releasing it. His eyes were fixed on the wound on her fingertip, his brows furrowed slightly. Then he looked up at Ni Sitian and scolded her in a somewhat stern tone, "How could you be so distracted while chopping vegetables? What were you thinking about? Luckily I was holding your hand. You know you almost cut your finger off!"
Ni Sitian pursed her lips, shrinking back as he scolded her in a somewhat fierce tone.
Seeing that she seemed afraid of him, Xu Tingchuan took a breath and softened his tone: "That was very dangerous, do you understand? Don't do that again next time."
Ni Sitian nodded, her cheeks almost flushed red. She felt she must be crazy—how could she be thinking such intimate things while chopping vegetables! How could she possibly explain this to herself!
Seeing that she remained silent, Xu Tingchuan thought he had frightened her. He sighed helplessly, took her hand, walked out of the kitchen, and got a first-aid kit to disinfect her wound.
The cut wasn't deep, but it looked particularly unsightly on her pale fingertip. He lowered his eyes and carefully treated it for her.
"Does it hurt?" He heard her gasp and looked up at her.
He remembered that Ni Sitian was particularly afraid of pain and was incredibly timid. She was even afraid of getting injections, but this time she didn't cry when she cut her hand.
"It hurts." Looking at his careful manner, she felt a warm glow in her heart and a little wanted to act coquettishly.
"Serves you right." Xu Tingchuan snorted and asked, "What were you thinking about just now, lost in thought?"
Ni Sitian choked a little. Why was he still thinking about this?
She pursed her lips and made up an excuse: "I... I was just thinking about what gift to give the editor-in-chief for his birthday tomorrow..."
After she finished speaking, she felt embarrassed. Fortunately, Xu Tingchuan carefully put a band-aid on her and didn't seem to suspect anything.
