Why is the shrimp head broken?
Xu Xi picked up another shrimp and tried again, but it broke again.
She was a little depressed. Why didn't she make a complete shrimp like Chen Shuning? Could it be that she really couldn't do this little thing right?
After Chen Shuning finished teaching, he didn't turn around to continue cutting beef. Instead, he stood next to Xu Xi, wanting to see the results of his teaching. He didn't expect to see such a scene. What went wrong when he was teaching just now?
Xu Xi turned her head to look at Chen Shuning, who was standing next to her and watching her break off two shrimp heads. It seemed a bit embarrassing that she couldn't even do this in front of the person she loved. Xu Xi's cheeks were a little hot.
Xu Xi stopped talking and asked Chen Shuning in a weak voice, "Do you think I'm stupid?"
"No." Chen Shuning shook his head. Actually, it's okay not to have the shrimp head.
“…”
Xu Xi was half-believing and half-doubting, but she didn't say anything. She just stared at the shrimp in her hand, feeling depressed, nervous, and embarrassed.
She silently mustered her courage and consoled herself mentally. Nothing in life is easy to master after just one try. Thinking back to when she first drew her first blueprint, it was such a mess.
Xu Xi picked up another shrimp. "Let me try again."
"Wait a moment." Chen Shuning stared at the new shrimp in Xu Xi's hand, stretched out his finger and touched the shrimp head, saying, "Don't pinch the whole shrimp head with your hand, just pinch the little bit of shrimp shell on the top of the shrimp head, bend it slightly, and see the black stuff inside. Then pinch it with your fingers and pull it out."
Xu Xi nodded obediently and did as she was told. "Okay."
Then, it broke again.
Xu Xi blinked: "..."
Otherwise she should just wash the vegetables. She probably can’t handle the shrimp today.
Chen Shuning raised his eyes and met Xu Xi's gaze. He also blinked along with her, noticing something was wrong with her.
The air around them suddenly became very quiet.
Chen Shuning pursed his lips and was silent for two seconds, then suddenly said, "I'll teach you again."
Seeing that there was still a chance, Xu Xi immediately agreed. "Okay."
Xu Xi thought Chen Shuning was going to explain what she had just said in detail. However, she never expected that after waiting for two seconds, she didn't hear Chen Shuning speak. Instead, Chen Shuning walked up behind her, put his hands around her waist, and then reached out from behind to hold her hands. She leaned slightly to look over his shoulder.
Chen Shuning: "Come. Get another one."
She took a shrimp, and then, standing forward and backward, taught Xu Xi step by step how to remove the shrimp thread.
Xu Xi's heart was in a state of confusion at this moment. Her cheeks and ears were very hot, and her hands seemed to have lost consciousness. She just let Chen Shuning teach her how to pinch out the shrimp thread and then remove it.
This scene seems to be something I have seen on TV when I was a child. The two protagonists in the TV series are like this, doing daily things together, so romantic and sweet. I didn’t expect that there would be such a scene between her and Chen Shuning.
Xu Xi bit her lip slightly, suppressing the volcano that was about to erupt inside her. Her hands followed Chen Shuning's method in processing the shrimp, and this time, she finally succeeded.
Xu Xi covered her face in her heart, it was worthy of being taught by her hands-on.
Now that you have learned it, there is no need to continue to maintain this standing posture.
Being embraced from behind by the person you like and taught by him/her hand-in-hand is actually a good opportunity for Xu Xi to warm up her relationship. But now she is really nervous and her hands are shaking. If she continues like this, she can't guarantee what kind of deviant behavior she will do.
They had only known each other for a short time, and she had never behaved like this before. She didn't know what the consequences would be if she got impulsive.
Xu Xi breathed a sigh of relief in her heart, turned around calmly, with a faint smile on her face, and said softly to Chen Shuning:
"I, I can do it."
Xu Xi remembered that when Chen Shuning took her hand and took out the shrimp thread, the force was directed upwards, instead of pulling the bottom and breaking it apart like the two shrimps she had dealt with before.
Because they were standing quite close to each other just now, when Xu Xi turned around, the two of them were almost touching each other.
Chen Shuning stood there, staring at her silently for a few seconds before stepping back and revealing a nonchalant smile. His tone was natural and casual, as if their almost touching and hand-in-hand teaching just now weren't anything special or ambiguous. Chen Shuning seemed quite at ease.
"Then I'll trouble you with the rest."
"It's not a trouble. You are willing to teach me how to cook, so I am the one who troubles you." Xu Xi used a silly smile to hide her nervousness and panic.
She looked at Chen Shuning, who was so calm and composed, but she actually felt a sense of loss inexplicably in her heart.
Because she knew that if you like someone and encounter a situation like the one just now, you will be nervous, your heartbeat will speed up, and you will have all sorts of random thoughts. But what if you don't like someone? What will happen? Just be calm and composed like Chen Shuning just now.
