Ella leaned against the head of the bed, holding her knees with her hands, lowered her head, and a hint of sadness in her eyes covered by her bangs.

"Mother……"

At this time, Ella heard someone knocking on the door.

"Is it Zhang Ziling?"

Ella raised her head slightly, turned over and got out of bed, and her fair feet walked to the door in a pair of worn slippers.

"Huh~"

Ella shook her head, shook off the worry on her face, stretched out her slender fingers and hung them on the door handle, and gently pulled them down.

"I beat those three gangsters so soon?" Ella looked at Zhang Ziling outside the door and smiled.

"What's wrong with you?" Zhang Ziling did not answer Ella's question, but frowned and stared at Ella.

"I'm not doing anything?" Ella looked puzzled.

"Is that right?" Zhang Ziling looked at Ella, smiled faintly, and gently raised his palm and reached towards Ella's cheek.

Seeing Zhang Ziling's actions, Ella subconsciously retreated.

"Don't move."

Zhang Ziling said a whisper, miraculously causing Ella to stop moving.

What's wrong with me?

Ella looked at Zhang Ziling approaching her palm in surprise, and was puzzled.

I've only known him for a few hours!

Suddenly, Zhang Ziling's next move made Ella stunned.

Zhang Ziling gently wiped away the tears on Ella's cheek.

"Next time I'm pretending to be happy, remember to wipe my tears clean first." Zhang Ziling smiled at the dull Aila and showed off the bag in his other hand. "I went to buy some vegetables. You probably haven't eaten Chinese food."

Ella watched Zhang Ziling walk into the kitchen in a daze, and a soft part in her heart suddenly jumped.

Shaking his head fiercely, Ella rushed into the kitchen.

"Don't you have no money?"

"I never worry about money," Zhang Ziling smiled, took out the ingredients from the bag, found the cutting board, then looked at Ella and asked, "Do you have a knife?"

"Ah...yes!" Ella looked at Zhang Ziling who was smiling and was slightly enlightened. Then she ran to the closet and flipped out, taking out a brand new kitchen knife.

"The knife is not bad." Zhang Ziling took the kitchen knife and rinsed it with water. Then he shook his hand holding the knife and the water droplets flew into the sky.

Zhang Ziling's eyes narrowed, and Ella seemed to feel a murderous aura from Zhang Ziling's eyes.

At this time, the water droplets fell to the ground, and Zhang Ziling's knife... moved!

Seeing Zhang Ziling cutting vegetables, Ella's mind was so shocked that she was blank.

The knife in Zhang Ziling's hand was so fast that it was divided into two afterimages. He only saw the ingredients on the cutting board being cut into thinner silk strips than the head, and then floated into a plate not far away.

"May I ask... are you cooking?"

Ella swallowed and looked at the ingredients flying under Zhang Ziling's knife, as if watching a dance.

It turns out that Chinese people cook like this...

"Of course." Zhang Ziling replied with a smile. The kitchen knife rotated twice on the index finger and steadily inserted it on the cutting board. A bag of ingredients was processed by Zhang Ziling and placed neatly on the plate.

Ella subconsciously looked at the time.

Three minutes later...

In her opinion, it took Zhang Ziling only three minutes to process the ingredients that would take more than an hour!

At this time, Ella began to believe what Benny and the other two said.

The sword shadow that Zhang Ziling waved made Ella see it intoxicating.

Soon, Ella came to the dining table in a daze and sat down mechanically.

During the period when Zhang Ziling cooked, Ella's worldview was completely refreshed...

She never thought that watching a person cook is like watching a painter painting, and the food that comes out of the pot is like those rare and famous paintings, which makes people reluctant to touch.

Zhang Ziling put the dishes on the table and sat opposite Ella.

"You don't know how to use chopsticks, are you?" Zhang Ziling asked.

Ella shook her head, "I have only watched Chinese cuisine on TV, nor have I used chopsticks."

"Then I will teach you." Zhang Ziling smiled gently, then stood up and walked towards Ella.

Looking at Zhang Ziling who was getting closer, Ella's fair cheeks suddenly turned red and she lowered her head slightly.

He is here!

Ella's heartbeat never so fast!

Is that true? A man who knows how to cook is very handsome!

Just as Ella was thinking about random things, Zhang Ziling had already arrived next to Ella.

Knowing that Zhang Ziling was standing next to him now, Ella straightened her waist and did not dare to look at Zhang Ziling next to her.

Why am I so shy?

Ella was confused.

"Give me your hand." Zhang Ziling whispered.

Hearing Zhang Ziling's gentle tone, Ella's body shook and mechanically reached out her hand.

Looking at Ella's trembling little hands, Zhang Ziling smiled and placed a pair of chopsticks in her hand.

"Sharpen like me." Zhang Ziling took another pair of chopsticks to demonstrate.

"Is that true?" Ella clumsyly picked up the chopsticks, but why couldn't she hold it like Zhang Ziling.

"Am I too stupid?" Ella said embarrassedly when she saw that she could not hold Zhang Ziling's appearance no matter what.

"You're just getting into chopsticks and are a little uncomfortable." Zhang Ziling put down the chopsticks and held Ella's hand, "I'll teach you."

Feeling the warmth of Zhang Ziling's palm, Ella's face turned red at first, her fingers became a little stiff, but she quickly relaxed.

"so……"

Zhang Ziling corrected Ella's posture, "You try to use your fingers."

Ella followed Zhang Ziling's method, looked at the chopsticks that were separated and closed by herself, and said in surprise: "I seem to be able to do it! So amazing!"

"So smart." Zhang Ziling looked at Ella's surprise look and smiled: "Please have a meal."

"Thank you." Ella thanked Zhang Ziling politely, then carefully used chopsticks, gently picked up the steaming food and put it in her mouth.

After a moment, Ella's eyes lit up, then she supported her chin with her hands and closed her eyes.

"Yeah~"

"How is it?" Zhang Ziling asked, looking at Ella who shut up and waved her head.

"tasty!"

Ella opened her eyes and said in surprise: "It's so delicious! The Chinese dishes are so delicious!"

"Can I eat whatever I want?" Ella stared at Zhang Ziling with hope.

"Please give yourself your own wish." Zhang Ziling smiled faintly and signaled Ella to enjoy it.

"That's great! I'm so glad to bring you back!" Ella cheered happily, and then began to use chopsticks clumsyly to enjoy the Chinese dishes on the table.

Seeing Ella enjoying the dishes she made happily, Zhang Ziling retreated to the side and began to look at the room carefully.

"Strange..." Zhang Ziling looked around the house and frowned slightly, "How could this be the case?"

Zhang Ziling remembered the tears on his cheeks before, nodded thoughtfully, and then looked at Ella at the dining table.

There seems to be some stories in this Dutch girl...
