"Let me do it, you can take the cucumbers and cherry tomatoes out." Professor Yuan said, taking the knife from her and nudging her aside.
"I think I should do it." Xia Yue felt uncomfortable and wanted to take back the knife.
"Child, no need to be polite, take these two things out. I'll be done here shortly." Professor Yuan dodged her hand with a smile.
Worried that they might hurt themselves fighting over the knife, Xia Yue limited her movements. Seeing such persistence, she could only nod, bringing the cucumbers and cherry tomatoes outside.
She set them on the table at the pavilion, greeted Professors Chen and Luo, and began eating at the invitation of Professor Hao.
In a short while, Professor Yuan came out with a watermelon.
She had five bowls filled with cut watermelon pieces.
"One bowl per person, if you want more, there's plenty in the kitchen," said Professor Yuan as she set the bowls down in front of them and sat down.
