364: Wheatgrass

Wheatgrass

Xi Ting said, "Otherwise, if you twist it a little more, I might not be able to guarantee what will happen later."

As if to prove his point.

Qin Yan felt it as she sat on his lap. She stiffened in his arms and dared not move anymore.

After a while, Xi Ting closed his documents. He then got off work early.

Xi Ting and Qin Yan got into the car. As the car started, Xi Ting asked, "Yan Yan, are you hungry? Do you want to eat anything?"

Qin Yan thought for a while before nodding, "I am indeed hungry but there isn't any particular thing that I want to eat."

She continued, "You too haven't eaten anything since lunch. We will eat as per your choice today."

Xi Ting thought for a while and turned the car into another street, "Then, let's eat sweet and sour spare ribs. Didn't you say you wanted to eat this? I will make it for you. I have time today so I can make it for you."

Qin Yan raised her brows in surprise. "You want to cook for me?"

"Mm."

"You… know how to do it?"

Xi Ting kept quiet for a while before saying, "It shouldn't be a problem after looking at the recipe."

He could learn anything easily. It was just cooking. He felt that such a simple matter wasn't difficult for him. It was just following the recipe, he definitely knew how to do it.

"Are you sure?" Qin Yan didn't trust him.

How could someone who had never cooked before be able to do so? Although he had boiled brown sugar water for her once and it tasted good, it wasn't difficult at all. Anyone could do it.

A dish like sweet and sour spare ribs might seem simple, but it was still difficult to cook. She herself… wasn't confident that she could cook it well.

Xi Ting looked confident, "I'm sure. Do you have anything else you want to eat? Tell me, I'll make it for you."

Ten minutes later.

Xi Ting parked the car in the underground garage of a large mall. They got out of the car and took the elevator to the shopping area upstairs.

After getting the shopping cart, Qin Yan followed Xi Ting and chatted with him while looking at the goods on the shelf, "Ah Ting, have you shopped in the supermarket like this before?"

"No."

The mall was usually crowded. Especially in the shopping district, most of them were older people. Young people like them were rare.

Xi Ting's handsome face was as eye-catching as Qin Yan's. Most of the people around couldn't help but take a few glances at the couple.

Xi Ting wasn't used to walking around in a crowd, especially with a group of aunties and uncles around him. He pushed the cart to the place where the vegetables were sold and casually took a look. He didn't know what dishes were placed there, so he took a bundle and placed it in the cart.

Qin Yan looked at the leeks in the shopping cart and casually asked, "What are you doing with this?"

"Mm?" Xi Ting looked down at the food he'd just picked up. After a few seconds of silence, he thought of a reason, "I think this bag of food looks good. It's green. Eating more green food is good for your body."

Qin Yan was speechless. She seriously suspected that Xi Ting had no idea what vegetable he was holding.

She couldn't help but ask, "Do you know what this vegetable is?"

Xi Ting pursed his lips and kept quiet for a few seconds before raising an eyebrow, "It should be wheatgrass. But I only know that you can eat wheat. Can you eat wheatgrass now? Have you eaten this before, how does it taste?"

Qin Yan was confused.

She widened her eyes slowly and looked at him in disbelief. After confirming that he wasn't joking, she almost burst out laughing, "Ah Ting, say it again. What's this?"

Xi Ting realized that he might have said something wrong. He kept quiet for a longer time.

"Isn't it wheatgrass? What's that?" This was the first time he had encountered a problem since he was young and had won scholarships every year.

He… didn't seem to recognize this bundle. It looked just like wheatgrass. But it wasn't? What was that?

Qin Yan was about to burst out laughing. This was the funniest joke she'd heard this year. Xi Ting actually thought of leeks as wheat. She almost choked on her laughter when he said the word "wheatgrass".

But even though she found it funny, she also found it normal. It was normal for a rich young master like him, who grew up in a big city, to not know some vegetables.

But she still found it funny when she thought about how he mistook the chives for wheat sprouts.

"Ahem, this is chives," Qin Yan held back her laughter and took the bag of chives out of the shopping cart, "There's no need for chives in the food we will cook today. Forget it, why don't you find a place to wait for me and I'll go get the vegetables?"

He didn't even know this. He definitely didn't know many other dishes.

Qin Yan felt that it was better for her to get the groceries quickly.

Xi Ting pursed his lips and looked a little unnatural. He kept quiet for a while before saying awkwardly, "I know vegetables. But this leek looks exactly like wheatgrass. I was wrong. Wait, I definitely won't get it wrong again."

Qin Yan didn't believe him at all, "Wait for me here, I'll go get the groceries. I'll be back soon, alright?" She reached out to push the shopping cart over, "Twenty minutes at most, no, ten minutes. Just wait for me for ten minutes."

"I told you, it was just an accident," Xi Ting wanted to find a chance to make up for this mistake in front of the woman he loved.

He even got the wrong vegetables. Was Qin Yan looking down on him? She must have felt like he didn't even have the basic knowledge.

Xi Ting couldn't tolerate being humiliated in front of his girlfriend. No matter what, he had to turn the situation around.

He pushed the shopping cart forward and endured the unbearable smell. He looked around and finally picked a box of ribs.

As if to prove that it was really an accident, he held the box of ribs and said to her seriously, "This is ribs, I didn't recognize it wrongly, right?"

Qin Yan was speechless. Who could mistake ribs?

20 minutes later.

The two of them left the supermarket.

Xi Ting was carrying the bags, and Qin Yan followed him empty-handed. When they reached the underground garage and found their car, she looked at the man beside her putting the bags into the trunk one by one and suddenly felt a sense of bliss.

Qin Yan had thought that a man like Xi Ting wouldn't like shopping at the supermarket. She knew that he was a clean freak.

When she passed by the seafood stall, she saw him frowning. It was obvious that he couldn't stand the smell.

But he endured it. He didn't utter a single word of complaint or thought of leaving early.

Instead, he patiently waited for her to pick. He was willing to wait for her.

She had bought a lot of things today, and most of them were heavy.

Xi Ting was in charge of carrying all the shopping bags while Qin Yan was empty-handed the whole time. She wanted to help carry a few light bags, but he rejected her. He even helped her carry her bag.

Although it was just a small matter, it was these small matters that made her feel how much this man cared for her.

This man was already so charming that women would fall in love with him easily. He was so nice to her and doted on her…1

She didn't regret liking him at all. Because Xi Ting was a really good man.

The couple arrived in their abode in 15 minutes. After getting out of the car, Qin Yan was still empty-handed, and Xi Ting was still in charge of carrying everything.

When they reached the living room, Xi Ting let go of Qin Yan's hand, "You play in the living room, I'll go to the kitchen to cook. I'll call you when it's done."

"You don't need my help?" Qin Yan looked at him skeptically, "Are you sure you can handle it alone?"

"Mm, I can do it alone. Don't worry." With that, Xi Ting carried the bags into the kitchen.

Qin Yan was really worried about letting him do it alone. She thought for a while and ran to the kitchen door. She stuck her head in and said, "Ah Ting, let me help you. It'll be more efficient if we do it together."

She was really worried that he might set the kitchen on fire.
