"Can you really manage alone?" Huo Jingtang didn't want her to overdo it. He originally wanted everyone to cook together, but it ended up all on her shoulders, which made him feel very distressed.
"Yes, I can manage better alone." Qin Yucen glanced at him, her face pale. "Why are you frowning again?"
"Forget it; let's not cook. Let's go out to eat." Huo Jingtang pulled the celery from her hand, "Or I could have Zhong Lang get takeout from Jiazhen Building."
"I know you're worried about me, afraid that I'll get tired. But am I that fragile?" Qin Yucen grasped the celery back. "It's just a meal; it won't defeat me. We're together to have fun. Even if they don't eat, we still need to eat, right? Don't be so petty; actually, they left to give us some alone time. You must see that."
She could understand the intent behind each of their words. They were well-meaning, wanting to give the two of them some privacy.
