"Thank you." She took the towel handed to her.
"Are you headed to the kitchen? There's usually no one there at this time."
"Okay."
Wang Lili followed him to the kitchen. Meng Sheng turned on the fire and had her stand next to it.
It was just at the hem of her clothes, the spot close enough to the stove to dry quickly.
"Should I wait for you outside? Once you're done, call for me, and I'll come in to turn off the fire." He was afraid she didn't know how to turn it off.
Wasn't that just like having him stand guard for her?
Wang Lili felt a little embarrassed and quickly said, "Brother Meng Sheng, why don't you just wait here for a bit."
Waiting here was better than being alone and having him stand at the door.
Besides, she felt a bit uneasy being alone in someone else's kitchen; it was better with him around.
"Alright, I'll wait here, there's no rush."
