Thinking that Bai Chenyao wasn’t looking her way and couldn’t see her shaking her head, Gu Tiantian finally spoke.
"No, I... I thought it was Li Mu in the kitchen, so I came to take a look."
Bai Chenyao continued washing the dishes without stopping, but he quickly turned his head, his dark eyes intently focused on Gu Tiantian standing at the doorway.
"Why Li Mu?"
His words carried a hint of coldness.
Gu Tiantian felt the air around her suddenly drop a few degrees.
Unsure why Bai Chenyao’s tone suddenly changed, luckily, Gu Tiantian was used to it and hurriedly explained.
"He came over to deliver some food, so I thought he’d stay to help with the dishes. But to my surprise, A Yao, you not only excel at work, you’re also quite the domestic man!"
Bai Chenyao glanced at her, his voice relatively gentle.
"Come over!"
Gu Tiantian didn’t hesitate and quickly walked in.
However, while walking, she made sure to hold onto the countertop.
She had been quite exhausted, her legs still a bit weak.
"Wipe them clean!"
Gu Tiantian blinked and followed Bai Chenyao’s gaze.
Seeing the dishes he placed on the countertop, she quickly understood.
"Okay!"
After all, wiping dishes is nothing compared to what she went through, not really a punishment.
Noticing Gu Tiantian’s expression, Bai Chenyao’s face turned a bit colder.
"You think having you wipe dishes is punishing you?"
Gu Tiantian froze, nearly dropping the plate she was holding.
"Ah? No, no, I... why would I think that?"
She couldn’t tell which nerve Bai Chenyao had hit wrong, sometimes looking indifferent and approachable, sometimes cold and aloof, as if putting up a "Strangers Keep Away" sign.
"Then what do you think?"
After washing the last dish, Bai Chenyao fixed his burning gaze on her.
Gu Tiantian swallowed, batting her dark eyes, and quickly responded.
"I... I naturally think... it’s rare and so fortunate because, no matter what, A Yao, you are so busy every day. Just waking up to see you every morning is unbelievable, feeling honored and overwhelmed. Now, still being able to do the dishes with you in the kitchen feels so blissful and sweet."
"Blissful and sweet?"
Bai Chenyao raised an eyebrow, his expression still cold.
Gu Tiantian nodded vigorously like a little chicken pecking rice, her voice cheerful.
"Yes, blissful and sweet. Look, it’s just the two of us now, no matter what we do, it’s together, isn’t that blissful and sweet?"
Seeing Bai Chenyao’s stern face gradually soften, Gu Tiantian let out a long sigh of relief in her heart.
Darn it... so Bai Chenyao likes this kind of thing.
She figured it out!
From now on, she would definitely change the way she interacts with Bai Chenyao, believing that as long as Bai Chenyao is comfortable and happy, her days wouldn’t be too difficult.
As for the stuff in bed... she decided to endure for now. If it becomes unbearable, she will just sweet-talk him, like she did last night.
Although it lasted a long while, she wasn’t entirely passive. In fact, most of the time, whether she admits it or not, she found herself quite comfortable.
Once he gets bored, she would be free.
Thinking this way, Gu Tiantian’s mood lifted.
Bai Chenyao didn’t leave but leaned half his body against the countertop, calmly watching Gu Tiantian wipe the plates.
As time passed, one person focused on wiping the plates, and another focused intently on the one wiping, the gaze growing warmer.
Unnoticed, the kitchen gradually turned warm and harmonious.
