The first time in history

Chapter 121 A plump figure beyond her peers

"We..." Lin Leilei sat next to Qian Mingduo and looked at him in disbelief. "Can we cook? To be more precise, can you cook? I have never cooked before."

"Please remove that word." Qian Mingduo said with a smile, "I can do it, but I'm not very good at it."

"How do you know how to cook? When did you learn it?"

"I've been home alone since junior high school." Qian Mingduo glanced at Lin Leilei and continued, "My parents have been working away from home. I had no choice but to support myself, so I learned to cook very early. I just don't know if it suits your taste."

"You're amazing!" Lin Leilei said with envy, "I can't even make the simplest scrambled eggs with tomatoes."

"What's so great about that?" Qian Mingduo leaned back on the sofa. "I have no choice. If I don't cook, I will starve. I am forced to do this."

"Then what delicious food should we make for mom tonight?" Lin Leilei sat cross-legged and asked excitedly, "Do you have any special dishes?"

“Hmm…” Qian Mingduo was surprised when he saw Lin Leilei sitting cross-legged with her five hearts facing upwards. “How come you can also sit cross-legged with your five hearts facing upwards? That’s amazing.”

Lin Leilei smiled sheepishly and said, "I have been practicing dancing since I was a child. My body is very flexible, and my muscles have been stretched."

“That’s amazing.” Qian Mingduo leaned back and tilted his head to look at Lin Leilei: “I only know how to cross my legs, not something as difficult as yours.”

"Let's stop flattering each other," Lin Leilei said with a happy smile, "I flatter you that you are a great cook, and you flatter me that I am a great cross-legged sitter. If people hear us, they will think we are both shameless!"

"Okay, let's stop flattering each other." Qian Mingduo gently held Lin Leilei's ankle and stroked it slowly. "But... you'd better stop doing this kind of action now. Your foot is not fully healed yet, so don't stick it out again."

“Got it.” Lin Leilei nodded obediently and opened her crossed legs. “No more.”

"Okay," Qian Mingduo stood up and walked into the kitchen, "Let's see what vegetables we have at home, and then decide what to buy later?"

"Are you really going to do it?" Lin Leilei followed him into the kitchen. "You are not kidding, are you?"

"You must be joking," Qian Mingduo walked towards the door. "You put on your shoes and change your clothes. I'll go home and put on my shoes, and then we'll meet at the door."

"Wait a minute," Lin Leilei called out to Qian Mingduo, and said as she walked into the bedroom, "I'll be out soon." Qian Mingduo didn't know what Lin Leilei was going to do, so he could only wait for her to come out.

After a while, Lin Leilei came out of the bedroom with two skirts. She put a white skirt with small purple flowers on it against her chest and said to Qian Mingduo, "Take a look first. Do I look good in this skirt?"

"Hmm..." Qian Mingduo looked at it carefully and said, "Another one." Lin Leilei put a light blue skirt with light yellow flowers on her chest and asked quietly, "How about this one?"

“Hmm…” Qian Mingduo looked left and right, then pulled Lin Leilei to the dressing mirror at the door and said to Lin Leilei in the mirror: “To be honest, you look good in any dress.”

Fifteen-year-old Lin Leilei stood gracefully in front of the tall mirror, her delicate pink face reflecting the soft light, like a delicate flower in bud about to bloom.

Qian Mingduo rested his chin on Lin Leilei's shoulder, greedily inhaling the girl's unique fragrance. Then he said softly: "Let me describe to you how I feel about this skirt?"

"Yeah!" Lin Leilei nodded shyly.

"This skirt with small purple flowers on a white background sways gracefully above the knees. The white background is as pure as snow, as if carrying the innocence and purity of your youth; the tiny purple flowers are dotted on it, like a nebula in a dream, adding a bit of mystery and charm to you."

At this time, a breeze blew in. Qian Mingduo continued, "The breeze gently blew past, and the hem of the skirt swayed slightly, as if whispering the secrets in the girl's heart. The sunlight shone on you through the window. Between the light and shadow, you were like a fairy walking out of a painting, fresh and refined, with a bit of the shyness and longing that only girls have."

"It's just that...your face is a little red right now," Qian Mingduo teased, "like a ripe red apple."

"I feel so embarrassed because of what you said!" Lin Leilei looked at herself in the mirror. "I just tried on a skirt, and you compared me to a fairy and said so many nice things to me."

Afterwards, Lin Leilei gently turned her sideways and looked at herself in the mirror intently. Her figure, which was fuller than that of her peers, looked even more graceful against the backdrop of her skirt.

"This one looks better." Qian Mingduo couldn't help but stand up again and prepare to express his feelings about the skirt.

"I won't say any more," Lin Leilei said shyly, "If you say anything more, I'll blush again."

"Okay, I won't say any more." Qian Mingduo walked to the door, turned back and said, "In a word, no matter which skirt you wear, you look like a walking flower, very beautiful. See you at the door later."

Lin Leilei didn’t even wear that skirt. It was the same skirt she wore when she went to her piano teacher’s house this morning.

"I knew you definitely didn't wear those two skirts," Qian Mingduo said confidently, "You have difficulty making choices."

"Both look good. I really don't know which one to wear?" Lin Leilei pouted and said, "I'll just wear what I wore this morning."

"Actually... I think the yellow floral dress would be more suitable for you," Qian Mingduo said with a smile.

"Why?" Lin Leilei asked in confusion, "What scene is it?"

"Don't you see it's almost dusk? There will be a yellow sunset soon." Qian Mingduo opened his eyes wide and said, "Won't the colorful floral dress you wear be very suitable for the occasion?"

"Wait for me," Lin Leilei said, and immediately turned around, opened the door, and quickly jumped in with her uninjured foot. Qian Mingduo looked at this scene and could only sigh and shook his head helplessly.

"Let's go." Lin Leilei took Qian Mingduo's hand. As expected, she came out wearing the yellow floral dress and said as if nothing had happened, "Let's go buy some groceries."

"It seems that I have cured your choice difficulty."

"Yes, Dr. Qian." Lin Leilei smiled shyly.

After walking downstairs, Qian Mingduo was about to pull his hand out of Lin Leilei's, but unexpectedly she held it even tighter.

Qian Mingduo looked at her in confusion, only to see Lin Leilei said seriously: "People who don't know us definitely don't know why we are holding hands. And those who know us, they all know that my foot is injured. If I don't hold your hand, I can't walk at all. So, what's wrong with doing this?"
