She watched him turn on the stove, heat up the stewed chicken, and then quickly pour oil into the pot, followed by a whole plate of pork belly that was already cut into chunks.
Immediately, crackling sounds arose from inside the pot.
Chi Yang turned around and said, "You can go to watch some TV in the living room for a while, or take a shower first. It's very smoky in here so don't come in."
"I want to help you though."
"There's no need for that. I've already done all the preparations, so these dishes will be on the table very soon."
"But…"
"No buts. Be a good girl, go out and play for a while!"
Hence, before waiting for Zhong Nuannuan to finish speaking, Chi Yang pushed Zhong Nuannuan out while the oil was still burning, then closed the kitchen door to prevent the smoke from entering the living room.
Even so, the kitchen door was not closed completely, and there was still a small gap left.
