Chapter 943 Extra 19
But when the beef patty was put down, it made a sizzling sound, and a picture flashed through Qi Xiaosi's mind. She screamed in fright and jumped away quickly.
"Xiao Si!!"
Luo Chen shouted, pressing his hands on her shoulders to calm her down. "Look at me!"
Qi Xiaosi came back to her senses and met Luo's eyes. The panic in her heart finally calmed down. "Yes, I'm sorry! I let you down."
"It's okay." Luo gave her a smile, then stood up and started packing his things.
Seeing him like this, Qi Xiaosi couldn't help but panic. "Luo, can you give me another chance? I, I don't want to give up like this."
"No need." Luo said as he cleaned up, "Wait until I'm done, then go eat something."
Seeing how calm he was, Qi Xiaosi didn't know what to say. She always felt that Luo's emotions were very stable, as if he was comforting herself.
After Luo packed up his things, Qi Xiaosi was taken to a food stall.
Luo ordered some things with ease, and then asked Qi Xiaosi what she wanted to order, but Qi Xiaosi was not in the mood and could only shake her head.
Luo didn't say much. After putting down the menu, he asked, "Can you tell me what happened to you just now?"
"I..." Qi Xiaosi stammered, considering whether or not to confess to Luo. However, they had only known each other for a short time, so wouldn't it be a bit too abrupt to open up to her all of a sudden?
"Judging from your reaction just now, it should be PTSD."
"You still know this?"
Qi Xiaosi widened her eyes and looked at Luo in disbelief.
"I have an aunt who's a psychologist, so she knows a little bit about it." Perhaps to put Qi Xiaosi at ease, Luo's tone was very gentle. "You were recommended to the culinary school, but you can't cook. This is very strange."
"Then, combined with your reaction just now, I boldly guess that you used to be able to cook and were quite talented, which is why you were recommended to the culinary school."
"Of course, this is all my guess. You can also just laugh it off as nonsense. I will still help you."
Qi Xiaosi was a little touched.
She and the man in front of her had only known each other for a short time, but the emotions he expressed were indeed so sincere.
Perhaps it was Luo's sincerity that opened Qi Xiaosi's heart and made her tell her the story of the past.
"I started cooking when I was seven years old," Qi Xiaosi said quietly. "At that time, people around me called me a genius and said I would become someone like Master Ji in the future."
At this point, she let out a wry smile. "You know, children are wild and untamable. Amidst all the praise, I felt like my cooking skills were unmatched."
"I started to become arrogant and dismissive of many things. I even became lazy about cooking, thinking I could make delicious dishes without practicing."
"Until one day, I cooked for everyone as usual. Due to my negligence and carelessness, I set the kitchen on fire."
"That fire almost cost me my life."
At this point, Qi Xiaosi trembled all over and curled up slightly, trying to protect herself. "Yes, I survived in the end! But my parents died in the fire to protect me."
"If I had been more careful about lighting the fire and had paid more attention, this tragedy would not have happened."
