At the moment, Lisa felt as if she was on stage, performing in the opera, as an old military general.

Feeling her heartbeat speed up indescribably, Lisa panicked internally and could only immerse herself in eating to hide her agitation. Once she had finished eating everything in her bowl, her heart had finally calmed down.

Mingyu looked at her from across the table. “Are you not afraid about getting fat from eating so much?”

Lisa: “…”

Why did her heart actually speed up for this trade-building straight guy?!

She set down her chopsticks and looked solemnly at him. “Let me instruct you a bit more. Even if a girl eats a lot, you should not tell her she will get fat. On the contrary, you should comfort her and say that even if you get fat, I will still like you just as much.”

“You girls have so many issues.” Mingyu placed quite a bit of ridicule in his tone in the word ‘girls.’

Lisa paid no mind to his tone and merely said, “Falling in love is naturally a troublesome matter.”

Mingyu started. “I second this point.”

The hotpot dinner continued rather merrily, but the mood became rather unpleasant when the question of who would be washing the dishes came up. Lisa felt that since she provided all the food and hotpot ingredients, Mingyu should clean up. Mingyu retorted that she was the one to invite him to dinner.

Lisa felt aggrieved. “But last time when you treated me to lamb kebab, I had washed everything!”

Mingyu replied, “But today, I still prepped the ingredients. I also cooked the hotpot as well as making the salad.”

“…” Lisa reflected on this for a long time and chose to compromise. “Then we’ll each wash half.

Mingyu: “…”

In the end, the two of them went to the kitchen and washed the dishes together. With the size and configuration of this apartment, the two of them did not feel crowded at all even when together in the kitchen. Mingyu and Lisa silently washed the tableware in the kitchen, with only the slight sound of running water hitting the porcelain tableware being heard.

When she reached out for the next plate, Lisa’s fingertips carelessly brushed against Mingyu’s palm. An electric shock traveled through her body. Mingyu turned his head to glance at her. The two of them had coincidentally reached for the same plate to place into the sink.

Lisa picked up another plate and rinsed it beneath the continuously running water. Her fingers had yet to stop burning. Her heart began beating rapidly from just that minor touch a moment ago, causing Lisa to involuntarily knit her brows together.

After the dishes were done, Mingyu left. Lisa  sat cross-legged on the sofa and stared blankly into space.

Why did her heart speed up because of Mr. Kim?

It must be because Mr. Kim was toxic.

Mn.

After giving herself a rational explanation, Lisa’s heart felt much better. She decided that since the dishes were done so early, she could get some beauty rest.

She put this matter aside, and Mingyu naturally did the same. The two of them lived their lives like before, only with a few minutes in their day being changed.
