Her face flushed, she shoved the mess of things under the table. Just as she turned around, she saw Lu Xiao standing in the doorway.
"Why are you back?"
Perhaps it was her guilty conscience, because seeing the man himself now made Su Tang's face turn an even deeper shade of red. Her voice sounded a little unnatural.
"What were you doing? Why are you so flustered?"
Lu Xiao walked in and placed what he was carrying on the table.
"Mom just learned to make a few things. She was going to wait until your next visit to let you try them, but I was free this afternoon, so I brought them over for you."
Su Tang turned to look at the food on the table and just said, "Oh," a few times.
The next second, a cool hand rested on her forehead.
"Are you sick? Your face is so red, and you're a little warm."
The physical contact with Lu Xiao made Su Tang jump back immediately. She turned away to hide her unnatural expression.
"I'm… I'm not sick. It's just maybe a little too stuffy in the room."
