Su Yubing was very bad at cooking.
This had been established many years ago.
Su Yubing tried to help anyway.
She accidentally burned the seasoning.
Mo Yuxin calmly took it from her.
"Sit down."
"I can help."
"You can help by eating."
"That's not helping."
"It is. You look happy when you eat."
Su Yubing smiled.
"You are getting better at sweet talking."
Mo Yuxin nodded.
"I've had a good teacher."
"Who?"
"You."
Su Yubing leaned closer.
"Then give me a kiss."
Mo Yuxin looked around.
There was no one nearby.
She kissed her.
It was brief and soft.
When they separated, Su Yubing smiled.
"Much better."
Mo Yuxin returned to cooking.
"Greedy."
"You're the clingy one."
"I am not."
"You held my hand for three days straight."
"That is practical."
"Why?"
"Because I like holding it."
Su Yubing laughed.
They ate dinner beside the river.
The stars came out.
