"I am back."

When Tang Yuze opened the door, he saw his sister Xia Jinxi still sitting on the sofa watching Tiga, while his mother Lin Hui, who had nothing to do, was watching a short video on a certain audio platform on the other side.

Tang Yuze put a large bag of snacks he had just bought from the supermarket on the coffee table. It contained potato chips, gummy candies, jellies and Cheetos.

"Xiao Xi, come and have some snacks."

After removing the wrapper of a piece of candy, Tang Yuze brought the candy to Xia Jinxi.

"No... no need."

"Don't be polite. If you don't eat it, I'll force it into your mouth."

After two days of getting along, Tang Yuze has realized that he must be a little tougher when dealing with Xia Jinxi and not give her any chance to reject your good intentions.

"Ah, ah..."

"Ok?"

However, Tang Yuze originally planned to give the candy to his sister and let her eat it herself, but who knew that Xia Jinxi actually opened her mouth slightly.

The look on her face shows that she wants him to feed her!

The worst thing is that Lin Hui is now standing next to them, staring at them, with an expression on her face that seems to be saying, "You guys continue, I'll just watch."

But there was no way out. He was now in a dilemma and could only slowly move his hand closer to Xia Jinxi's lychee-shaped mouth and gently put the candy in.

During this time, his fingers accidentally brushed Xia Jinxi's lips. It can be said that the touch was softer and more tender than the gummy candy in his hand.

"Is it tasty?"

"Mmm, soft and sweet."

"As long as it tastes good, you can take whatever you want from here. But we'll have dinner soon, so don't eat too much."

After saying that, Tang Yuze put down his schoolbag and prepared to go to the kitchen to cook.

Their father Tang Liu used to cook for the family. But since his parents went to work in other places, Tang Yuze also started to master cooking in order to be able to take care of himself.

Now, even if his parents take time off to go home during the holidays, Tang Yuze is still responsible for cooking. There is no other way, who can blame him for his good cooking skills?

"Brother, can I help you?"

"No need... Never mind, then Xiaoxi, you can help me wash the vegetables next to it."

Tang Yuze originally didn't intend to ask his sister for help, after all, her injury had not healed yet, but after seeing Xia Jinxi's pleading look, he softened his heart.

For her now, an environment that is too comfortable would probably make her feel a little uncomfortable.

So Tang Yuze found her the easiest job in the kitchen.

Having said that, Tang Yuze is already standing in the kitchen, but the system doesn't seem to be issuing any new tasks.

In other words, the two simple tasks that appeared before actually have no necessary connection with his location?

With this thought in mind, Tang Yuze started to prepare dinner, and Xia Jinxi, who had helped him wash the vegetables, did not leave the kitchen, but watched him from the side.

Xia Jinxi often cooks at home, so she can see how good Tang Yuze's cooking skills are now.

Whether it is the most basic knife skills, the control of heat, or the stir-frying techniques, he is very sophisticated.

Tang Yuze, who put all his energy into the pot, had an expression of concentration between his brows. Coupled with the boy's perfect looks, no girl could remain unmoved by such a scene.

Others say that serious boys are the most handsome. Xia Jinxi didn’t understand this before, because she had only come into contact with irresponsible fathers and those naughty kids in the village primary school.

So, this was the first time for her to see a boy working seriously at such a close distance, and she couldn't help but feel touched.

It didn't take long for Tang Yuze to finish today's dinner, which included shredded pork with fish sauce, a plate of green vegetables, and seaweed egg drop soup. Each dish exuded a unique aroma and stimulated the nasal cavity and taste buds.

There were only three of them having dinner, and it was just this one meal and they wouldn't leave it for the night, so Tang Yuze only prepared two dishes and a soup.

"By the way, Yuze, I have to go back to work the day after tomorrow."

After dinner, Lin Hui suddenly brought up this matter.

"So soon, won't you stay a few more days?"

"Well, I have an early flight tomorrow morning, so I won't be back tomorrow."

"Really?... That can't be helped."

Tang Yuze knew that his parents worked in other cities and had a heavy workload, and were usually very busy. Including this time to pick up Xia Jinxi, only Lin Hui could come back, and he could not force her to stay.

"What about Xiao Xi?"

But the problem now is that if he has to go to school during the day, he won’t be able to take care of Xia Jinxi at home.

"It shouldn't be a problem for Xiaoxi to look after the house alone during the day. You don't have to go to evening self-study anyway, so you can just go home at night."

"How about lunch?"

"Xiao Xi can cook for herself. You bought so many ingredients yesterday. You won't be hungry, right?"

"No, I'm afraid Xiaoxi will be too burdened psychologically. She doesn't dare to take food from the refrigerator casually. Besides, she hasn't cooked in our kitchen much. What if something unexpected happens?"

"this..."

Lin Hui frowned.

Given Xia Jinxi's family's conditions, they usually cook with firewood on the stove, unlike the Tang family, which has complete facilities and relies on natural gas for cooking.

Even if there is no life-threatening natural gas leak, using new kitchen utensils alone is dangerous enough, such as cutting your hands.

If anything went wrong, Xia Jinxi, a girl who had just arrived, would not be able to solve it on her own.

"Forget it, forget it. At worst, I can come back and cook at noon every day."

Jiangcheng Middle School has a two and a half hour lunch break, and Tang Yuze's home is only ten minutes' walk from the school. If he goes home to cook at noon every day, he still has time.

"But mom, even if I try to take as much time as possible to go home every day, I can't let Xiaoxi stay at home for a long time."

In order to take care of his sister, Tang Yuze can find ways to make adjustments, but to solve the root of the problem, he still has to find a way to make Xia Jinxi make changes herself.

"Yes, that's why I told you before that you should help Xixi with her homework when you are at home."

"When her academic performance improves and she gets more used to life here, I will come back and help her with the admission procedures for Jiangcheng Middle School."

Although Lin Hui also wanted to stay at home and take care of Xia Jinxi, she had no choice. To maintain the livelihood of their Tang family, it was too difficult to rely solely on her husband Tang Liu's salary.

Therefore, the best way at this stage is to let her son live with her, so that the girl's psychological trauma can be slowly healed through long-term interaction.

Judging from the situation in the past few days, Tang Yuze can indeed be considered a caring and good brother, so Lin Hui can go back to work.

"Row."

After emphasizing again what needed to be done, Lin Hui left home with peace of mind.
