Chapter 187 - 187: Sharing Household Chores
Gu Shaoting felt that he was completely useless. He muttered, “I just wanted to share household chores with you.”
Shu Pan suddenly looked up. She was a little surprised that Gu Shaoting would think that. Actually, he didn’t need to do this. He was a lucky child and had been waited on since he was young. He’d probably go through life without doing this kind of menial work.
“Let me do the dishes.” Gu Shaoting insisted.
Shu Pan figured since he volunteered, why not?
She watched him take off his suit jacket, walk into the kitchen, roll up his sleeves, clumsily pick up a bowl and started washing the dishes.
Shu Pan saw his insistence and had no choice but to leave the kitchen.
Sigh! She didn’t know what triggered him to suddenly say that he would do the dishes. In their three years marriage, he had never once offered to share household chores.
Shu Pan walked to the living room, picked up the TV remote, and turned on the TV. She randomly selected a news channel.
Shu Pan watched the news mindlessly as she looked in the direction of the kitchen from time to time to find Gu Shaoting washing dishes attentively through the glass door.
She could not help but sigh in her heart. Strange things happened every year, but there were especially many this year.
Perhaps it was because Shu Pan looked up too often that Gu Shaoting looked back at her unexpectedly. Their eyes met, and Shu Pan saw the slight smile in
Gu Shaoting’s eyes.
Shu Pan’s face turned a shade of pink when she was caught.
She turned her eyes back to the television but she was still thinking about Gu Shaoting. She felt that he had really become a different person after losing his memory.
In her opinion, his coldness and resentment from the past seemed to have disappeared. He seemed more amiable now.
Just as Shu Pan was lost in her thoughts, a sound came from the kitchen.
Crash!
It was the sound of porcelain bowl shattering. Shu Pan hurried into the kitchen.
What she saw was broken pieces of the bowl on the floor and Gu Shaoting standing there flummoxed like a child who had done something wrong.
Suddenlv. he sauatted down to Dick uD the Dieces.
“Be careful with your hand…” As soon as Shu Pan finished speaking, she saw the blood on Gu Shaoting’s fingers.
“Panpan, my hand is bleeding.” Gu Shaoting stretched out his hand to Shu Pan, as if to prove that he wasn’t lying.
Shu Pan grabbed his hand and washed it under the tap with all her might.
Seeing Shu Pan’s nervous expression, Gu Shaoting wished that he had cut himself in more places because this wound was too small.
“Alright, go get a band-aid from the medicine box under the TV console. I’ll take care of things here.” Shu Pan instructed.
Gu Shaoting gave her an embarrassed look but it was better if he didn’t cause Shu Pan more trouble. He walked out of the kitchen, casually pressing a tissue on his finger.
Shu Pan couldn’t help but massage her temples. What a troublemaker…
She used a broom to sweep away the broken porcelain pieces on the floor and then washed the remaining dishes.
When she came out of the kitchen, Gu Shaoting was already sitting on the sofa. When he saw Shu Pan, he patted the seat next to him as an invitation for her to sit.
Shu Pan frowned, not understanding his purpose. She then picked a seat further away from him and sat down.
“Panpan…
“Please call me Shu Pan.” Shu Pan interrupted him. Shu Pan felt that calling her Panpan was too intimate. It was what her family called her, but he wasn’t…
Gu Shaoting couldn’t help but raise his eyebrows. “But I like calling you
Panpan.”
Gu Shaoting’s tone was firm.
Shu Pan had experienced his shamelessness and persistence..
