365: Baby, I'm hungry too!

Baby, I'm hungry too!

Xi Ting placed the bag on the kitchen counter, turned around, and gently pushed Qin Yan's head out.

He looked at her with his dark eyes and said word by word, "You don't have to bother about anything, just wait for dinner. I promise you will be able to eat in an hour at most."

Qin Yan was speechless. Really? Why did she feel that this was impossible?

This man was undeniably outstanding in his work. But no matter how outstanding a person was, there were still things they weren't good at. She felt that he was definitely not good at cooking.

But the man clearly wanted to perform well and didn't give Qin Yan any chance to help him. With that, he closed the kitchen door.

Qin Yan was speechless. She sighed. Forget it. Since he was so confident, he must have made preparations beforehand. She should have some confidence in him.

For now… she would trust him.

Qin Yan didn't have high expectations for Xi Ting, and she didn't expect him to have any talent in cooking.

She didn't ask for much. As long as it wasn't too bad, she was fine with it. She was happy that he didn't want her help.

Thinking of all this, Qin Yan returned to the living room and took out her books to read.

Xi Ting had been in the kitchen for more than half an hour. Qin Yan grew worried. She thought for a while, put her books aside, jumped off the couch, and ran towards the kitchen.

As she got closer, she could smell the pungent smoke. She immediately pushed the door open, and a puff of white smoke hit her face, causing her to cough uncontrollably.

"Cough, cough, cough. Ah Ting, what are you doing," Qin Yan coughed so hard that she was tearing up. She held her nose and blew the white smoke away as she walked in.

As soon as she went near the platform, she saw the two black and unclear objects in the nonstick pot. She was stunned as she asked with a twitch of her lips, "What is in the pot?"

"Cough," Xi Ting choked too. He covered his mouth and coughed. He looked down at the two pieces of black stuff in the pot and kept quiet for a while before saying, "Steak."

Qin Yan asked, "… Steak?" She couldn't help but confirm, "Are you sure?"

The two balls were so black that it was hard to tell what they were.

"Mm," Xi Ting also felt that his steak was a failure and looked a little unnatural, "This steak… I don't know how it became like this. I made it according to the recipe, it shouldn't be like this."

Qin Yan was speechless. She wanted to laugh but held it in. She recalled how Xi Ting had confidently said that it wasn't difficult to follow the recipe. He could definitely do it.

But now… it was done. He just couldn't eat it. It seemed like a smart man like Xi Ting didn't know everything.

He could manage a company with tens of thousands of people well. But in terms of culinary skills, he was obviously not talented.

Qin Yan wasn't surprised at all. In her opinion, it was already good enough that Xi Ting didn't set the kitchen on fire.

"There are still two pieces of steak left," Xi Ting kept quiet for a while before picking up two pieces of steak from the nonstick pan and throwing them into the trash can, "I'll do it again. I've got experience this time, I'll definitely be able to do it well."

"Let me do it," Qin Yan sighed, "Go out and wait. Dinner will be ready in 40 minutes at most."

"I've already said that I'll be the one cooking today," Xi Ting furrowed his brows, "Believe me, I'm really experienced now. Wait for a while more, I'll be done with the steak soon. It was just a mistake."

He found an excuse for himself and refused to admit that his culinary skills were terrible.

What could possibly stump Xi Ting? As long as he wanted to do it, there was nothing he couldn't do. He didn't believe it.

He had to make this meal today. He wanted her to know that he would definitely do what he promised her.

"Baby, go out and wait a while more," Xi Ting took the pot and washed it in the sink. He looked as if he wouldn't leave the kitchen until the steak was done, "In half an hour, no, at most 20 minutes, I'll be done with the steak."

"Eat some snacks first. I'll prepare the meal as soon as possible."

Qin Yan was speechless. She didn't want to dampen his enthusiasm. But she was really worried that he would burn the kitchen down.

She thought for a while and said tactfully, "Ah Ting, why don't we cook together?"

"The two of us should cook faster. You cook one dish, and I'll cook another. We can have a taste of each other's dishes later. Don't you find this interesting?"

"Fine, let's do it together," Xi Ting finally agreed.

With Qin Yan's addition, the meal was finally ready after an hour.

Xi Ting really didn't know how to cook. He had no talent for cooking. He almost fried the last two steaks.

In the end, with Qin Yan's help, the steak was barely edible, but it looked terrible.

The sweet and sour spare ribs were almost done twice, and the second time was only barely edible with Qin Yan's help.

In the end, Qin Yan had made four dishes and soup. One sweet and sour spare ribs, two steaks, and two dishes were all prepared by Qin Yan alone.

Xi Ting walked out of the kitchen in defeat. No matter how unwilling he was to admit it, he had to admit that he wasn't talented in cooking.

It seemed like a simple dish, but it wasn't the case for him. Even though he followed the recipe step by step, its appearance and taste were barely satisfactory. He had almost set the kitchen on fire.

This was the first time he'd failed in his first try, and it was in front of Qin Yan too. It was embarrassing.

After all, it was a very simple thing for him to say. He didn't expect himself to slap his face so quickly.

He wanted to show off in front of his girlfriend, but instead of doing well, he had embarrassed himself in front of her.

Xi Ting helped Qin Yan bring the dishes out. While entering the dining room, Xi Ting's gaze caught the sight of sweat beads on Qin Yan's smooth face. Suddenly, he remembered another scenario which would make his cookie sweat.

"Baby, I'm hungry too," said the man as he looked at her deeply.

Qin Yan felt threatened, "I'm really hungry, I'm so hungry, can we eat first…"

The man's eyes were burning, and his breath was getting warmer. Even his chest was getting warmer. The arm around Qin Yan's waist was giving off steam.

Qin Yan knew very well what it meant for men to change. Every time Xi Ting looked at her like that, she would be unable to get out of bed. She was afraid of his gaze now.

Thankfully, this time, Xi Ting didn't want her so badly. Qin Yan heard him take a deep breath and looked up to see his expression.

Beads of sweat were forming on his forehead. They slid down his forehead.

The man was obviously aroused, but he controlling himself. Qin Yan found him extremely sexy and charming. It was an indescribable temptation.

Especially when beads of sweat rolled down his face and across his well-defined facial features. It was a unique temptation.

Qin Yan couldn't help but gulp. She had to admit that this man before her, who had already become her boyfriend, was really the best of the best. Even she was tempted by him.

If she didn't know how strong he was in that aspect and how scary it was to be tormented by him, Qin Yan wouldn't mind sleeping with him.

As a result, even though she sometimes coveted his beauty, she only dared to think about it in her heart and didn't dare to let him know.

If he found out…She probably wouldn't be able to get out of bed for three days.

"Alright, let's eat first," Xi Ting hugged her tightly, his chest heaving up and down. After taking a few deep breaths, he gradually suppressed the restlessness in his body and spoke with a hoarse voice.

After he calmed down, he let go of Qin Yan and said hoarsely, "Baby, I'll feed you first."1

Qin Yan blushed and looked at him fearfully, "Ah Ting, I have to go to grandpa's house tomorrow morning."

"So?" Xi Ting raised an eyebrow.

Qin Yan said, "… I have to sleep early tonight."

"Mm, you do have to sleep early," said the man considerately, nodding at Qin Yan.
