After eating and drinking together, Si Hongqi helped Tian Ruyi in washing the dishes. They were standing side by side in front of the sink. One was washing while the other was wiping the utensils dry before placing them back in the container.
"You shouldn't have come at this hour of the night you know," Tian Ruyi said, breaking the awkward silence between them.
"I had a free meal so why not?" He chuckled a bit as he washed the last bowl before handing it to her.
She rolled her eyes and huffed. "Right free meal. You still spent money for some of the ingredients so it was not entirely a free meal." She wiped the bowl with the towel before placing it back in the drawer.
After drying his hand, he turned to look at her with an amused smile. "If you put it that way, I guess you're right."
"See?"
"At least I was able to taste your cooking then."
She had a flushed look on her face when she turned to face him. "R-Really?"
