Lily feels shy. She pulls up the blanket again and covers her face. Perhaps she is too frisky and wakes
up the man lying beside her. Rex reaches out to pull her into his long arms. "You up?"
Lily feels sore and doesn't want to talk to him. She sinks her face into the quilt and replies sullenly,
"Yes."
Rex looks at her, who is acting like an ostrich, and he is in an extremely good mood. "Don't cover you
up. You might hardly breathe."
The more Rex talks like that, the more Lily doesn't want to talk to him. Lily just woke up, and her brain
is a blank. Suddenly, she recalls that Adair's gamified lesson is today. She checks the time and finds
that it is almost half past ten. She is so shocked that she forgets about her shyness. She pops her head
out and says, "Oh no!"
She lets out a cry. Rex is startled and becomes concerned about her health. "What's wrong?"
"I forgot that Adair has a gamified lesson today!"
"..."
Is that the reason?
Rex is so frightened that his heart almost skips a beat, but he calms her down in a soft voice. "Don't
panic. I asked my driver to drive him to school this morning. And Fanny is with him."
Hearing this, Lily heaves a sigh of relief. "Thank God..."
She is aware of something. "Adair should be in class at eight o'clock. You were up so early?"
"I woke up at seven, in fact."
Lily does a calculation. Last night, they didn't stop making sex until three, at least. If Rex got up at
seven he only had slept for four hours. How much physical strength he has...
"Men are different from women," Rex says in a calm but triumphant manner, as if he knows what Lily is
thinking. "Men only get more excited in bed."
Lily glares at him. "Stop talking about it!"
Speaking of last night, Rex recalls the passionate and heated scenes in this room. A fire burns in his
eyes. "Didn't you like it?"
"No!" Lily wants to stop this topic and reaches out to cover Rex's mouth. "I ... I'm still in pain..."
Rex gently kisses her on the palm. Lily takes back her hand as if she gets an electric shock. He feels a
heartache. "It hurts? What about applying some medicine there?"
Apply medicine ... Lily doesn't believe that he just wants to apply medicine. He must do other things to
her after that, so she shakes her head vigilantly. "No need. It's not that serious. I'll just rest for a while."
"What do you want for lunch?"
He jumps to another topic so fast. Lily almost doesn't catch it. She thinks of the hotpot last night. Now,
she prefers to eat light. "Porridge, thanks."
Rex agrees at once. "Alright, I'll cook for you."
"You?" Lily is a bit suspicious about his cooking. Although she did taste the food he cooked, he might
be a bit rusty now. After all, he hasn't gotten into the kitchen for a long time. "Fanny will do it."
Obviously, she doesn't trust in his cooking, so Rex gives her a passionate kiss, uncovers the blanket
and gets out of bed. "Just wait and see."
...
On the first floor, Fanny is about to prepare lunch when she sees Rex in pajamas coming downstairs.
His hair is still stained with water droplets. It is obvious that he just washed up.
She thinks that Rex must be hungry, so she immediately explains, "Sir, lunch isn’t ready yet. I thought
you would come later, so I didn't get it ready..."
Rex raises his hand and interrupts her, "Where is the rice?"
"What?" Fanny freezes. She doesn't understand why Rex, who has never entered the kitchen,
suddenly asks about this. She points to the milky white box in the corner and answers, "Inside that
box."
Rex walks over, opens the lid, rolls up his sleeves and scoops out some rice. Then he turns around and
asks, "Is the fish frozen in the fridge?"
"Yes," says Fanny. Rex is opening the fridge to get the fish. At the sight of it, she walks forward and
says, "Sir, let me do it."
"No need. You can go out and rest for a while. I'll just make some porridge." Rex refuses without
hesitation. He doesn't even look up at her. Obviously, he wants to do it by himself.
Although Fanny wants to assist Rex by his side, she leaves the kitchen when seeing his confident
expression.
The kitchen door closes. Rex looks at the frozen fish that he just took out to defrost and the rice in the
basin. His cooking is indeed a bit rusty. After all, it has been a long time since he has got into the
kitchen. But he could still take out something from his memory.
After defrosting the fish with warm water, he carefully slices it with a blade. The fish meat is tender and
easy to disperse. He must slice it fast and accurately to keep its shape. Soon, he is about to finish, but
his hand suddenly becomes unstable. The sharp blade slides into his index finger, leaving behind a
faint bloodstain.
He frowns and turns on the tap, washing his finger with running water. He doesn't pay too much
attention to it after making sure that it stops bleeding.
Egg white, pepper and olive oil are dripped onto the fish slices. Finally, they are mixed evenly with a
proper amount of corn flour. When the fish is marinated, Rex cleans the rice and put some shredded
ginger into it. He cooks it over medium heat.
Fifteen minutes later, the scent of rice fills the air. Rex takes the marinated fish slices and carefully puts
them into the hot porridge with chopsticks.
Two minutes later, he turns off the fire and seasons it. It tastes good. Although it is not as delicious as
the one cooked by those professional cooks, it is not bad.
Rex nods in satisfaction. When he places the white porridge into a bowl, he feels something is missing.
Then, he minces some green onions and sprinkles them into the porridge as decoration.
After it is done, he takes it to the dining table. Fanny smells the porridge from afar. She walks over and
sees it, which looks pretty good. She is surprised that Rex can cook. "Sir, you are a wonderful cook!"
Rex doesn't show any expression on his face, but he actually couldn't restrain his excitement.
Therefore, he asks Fanny to take Lily downstairs.
Ten minutes later, Lily gets dressed and walks to him. Just as she enters the dining room, a strong
fragrance greets her. She quickens her pace, and catches sight of the two bowls of fish porridge and a
salad on the table. She then looks at Rex who is sitting on the main seat with an indifferent face.
However, she knows that he is waiting for her praise.
She sits down and says in an exaggerated tone, "Wow, did you cook it?"
Everyone wants to get the praise from his “client” after making a meal for a long time, and Rex is no
exception. Hearing it, he feels that the hard work of cooking is worth it. He only says in a soft voice,
"Yes, I cooked it."
He doesn't pretend to be unapproachable. He just doesn't know how to express his feelings. Instead,
he wants to be valued by others. Lily knows it.
She tastes the porridge with a white porcelain spoon aside. It's good. The rice is well cooked and a
thick layer of rice oil could be seen above it. The warm porridge is mixed with the marinated fish slices,
perfectly balanced.
"Delicious! Where did you learn it?" Lily can't put down the spoon. She takes the porridge one mouthful
after another. Soon, she finishes half a bowl of it.
Seeing that Lily is satisfied, Rex begins to taste the porridge. "I got the recipe from the owner of the
Cantonese restaurant, where we had meals with Adair before. It's not a complete one, but is good
enough."
Fanny echoes, "Right, Mr. Rex made it all by himself. I wanted to help, but he refused. He said that he
wanted to cook for you."
