Besides, Shen Mo has her own things to do, and Xiao Yu doesn't want to trouble others.
"Don't hesitate to ask if you need any help," Shen Mo said politely before going back to her own business.
"Okay." Xiao Yu looked up at her, picked up a small knife, and began to process the ingredients in her hands.
Oh dear, that was dangerous! The tip of the knife grazed my finger; it was just a hair's breadth away from slicing it.
[This is too dangerous! Little Fish, you'd better give up quickly. I'm terrified watching this.]
I'm not worried about Xiao Yu blowing up the kitchen anymore; I'm more worried she'll kill herself.
[This child is so honest! You should ask for help right away; I'm getting so worried!]
Viewers watching on screen were on the edge of their seats when they saw Xiao Yu scaling the fish.
However, Xiao Yu, who was struggling with the fish scales, did not feel that her actions were dangerous.
When Xiao Yu's knife nearly sliced her finger for the third time, Shen Mo finally couldn't bear to watch any longer.
Actually, Shen Mo didn't want to pay too much attention to Xiao Yu, but since this was a live broadcast, she still had to find a way to get closer to him. But what she saw shocked her.
"Xiaoyu." Shen Mo put down the vegetables in her hand and walked to Xiaoyu's side. "Let me do it."
"Hmm?" Xiao Yu tilted her head to look at her. "What's wrong?" Xiao Yu had no idea how dangerous her previous actions had been.
Thinking that Shen Mo was annoyed by her slow processing, she tightened her grip on the knife, appearing somewhat hesitant.
"This is too dangerous for you." Seeing that Xiao Yu seemed reluctant to let her handle the fish, Shen Mo's smile froze for a moment.
If it weren't a live stream, and if there weren't only the two of them in the kitchen, she wouldn't have paid any attention to the other person, regardless of whether she was hurt.
Even if Xiao Yu gets injured in the end, it has nothing to do with her. But this is a live broadcast. If she pretends not to see anything, she will definitely be criticized by netizens.
She kindly offered to help, but Xiao Yu seemed reluctant.
As if doing so would steal her thunder, Xiao Yu's reaction did indeed make Shen Mo somewhat unhappy.
"Danger?" Xiao Yu seemed a little confused. She was just scaling a fish, how could it be dangerous?
Xiao Yu's attention had been focused on the fish scales, and she hadn't noticed the distance between the knife tip and her fingers at all.
After hearing what Chen Mo said, he was completely baffled.
“I noticed that you almost cut your finger several times when you were scaling the fish. That’s very dangerous. It would be bad if you got hurt.”
Shen Mo patiently explained, forcing herself to smile, "I'll handle the rest. If you really want to do something, you can help me cook later."
"Is it okay?" Xiao Yu's eyes lit up when she heard the word "cook".
"Of course." Although Xiao Yu had said before that she was a kitchen killer and had almost burned down the kitchen while cooking before.
However, in Shen Mo's opinion, this was very likely an exaggeration by Xiao Yu, with the aim of leaving a deeper impression on the viewers of the show.
Shen Mo didn't believe that anyone would actually set the kitchen on fire while cooking.
In addition, she was very confident in herself and felt that as long as she was there to watch over things, nothing serious would happen.
I have a bad feeling.
"They're not really going to miss dinner tonight, are they? I was just joking; I didn't mean for them to go hungry."
[That's too risky. Shen Mo is still too young; she has no idea how terrifying a kitchen killer can be.]
Yes, Shen Mo had no idea how terrifying the kitchen killer was, which meant she would pay a heavy price for it.
"You're amazing!" Xiao Yu's eyes widened as she watched Shen Mo deftly scrape off the scales from the grass carp, her gaze filled with admiration.
For Xiao Yu, who has absolutely no cooking skills, every time she sees others skillfully preparing plates of delicious and visually appealing dishes, she can't help but drool with envy.
"Actually, it's very simple. Practice makes perfect. If you practice a few more times, you'll be as proficient as I am."
Shen Mo tilted her head and glanced at Xiao Yu, and saw the undisguised admiration and envy in the other's eyes.
Shen Mo paused for a moment, thinking that Xiao Yu was a really strange person, not at all like someone who was in this circle.
Either Xiao Yu's disguise was too good, and she couldn't see through it at all, or Xiao Yu was just too stupid and didn't pretend at all.
But is that possible? At least in Shen Mo's opinion, it's absolutely impossible. She doesn't believe that anyone in this circle would be as naive as Xiao Yu.
If Xiao Yu were really that naive, she wouldn't always try to get close to Tang Xue and Lin Xiaoxiao.
Lin Xiaoxiao is the president of the Lin Group. Everyone knows that as long as you can get on Lin Xiaoxiao's good side, you will never have to worry about resources in the future.
Therefore, in Shen Mo's view, Xiao Yu's purpose was the same as hers.
Shen Mo is an internet celebrity, not a star. Therefore, if Shen Mo wants to enter this circle, she must find someone who can help her and clear all obstacles for her.
When Shen Mo saw Lin Xiaoxiao on the show, she had already set her sights on Lin Xiaoxiao.
Shen Mo had naturally seen the trending topics about Lin Xiaoxiao and Tang Xue, and it was because of this that Shen Mo became certain of Lin Xiaoxiao's sexual orientation.
She felt that Lin Xiaoxiao definitely liked women, but she didn't think there was any true love between Tang Xue and Lin Xiaoxiao.
In Shen Mo's view, the relationship between Tang Xue and Lin Xiaoxiao was more like a transaction.
There are many rumors online, and everyone is saying that Tang Xue was able to get such good resources.
It's because she got on Lin Xiaoxiao's good side; this is what's known as the unspoken rule in this industry.
Therefore, in Shen Mo's view, what Tang Xue could do, she could naturally do as well.
As long as she can get into this circle and get good resources, she doesn't care whether she's with men or women.
"What's wrong?" Seeing that Shen Mo had suddenly lost in thought, Xiao Yu nudged her arm.
"Ah! It's nothing." Chen Mo snapped out of her reverie and continued with her work.
Xiao Yu touched her chin, feeling that Shen Mo was acting strangely earlier, but she couldn't quite put her finger on it. Before she could figure it out, Xiao Yu's attention was drawn to Shen Mo's hands.
Before deciding to participate in this program, Shen Mo had made a concerted effort to practice her cooking skills.
Therefore, dealing with these is not a difficult task for Chen Mo.
After preparing the ingredients, Chen Mo sliced the grass carp and soaked it in a basin.
"Alright, the fish is cleaned. Let's cook the vegetables first." Putting the bowl aside, Chen Mo found an apron for Xiao Yu. "Put this on, or your clothes will get dirty."
"Really?" Holding the apron, Xiao Yu seemed a little hesitant, but she was still very happy that someone was willing to teach her how to cook.
However, Xiao Yu felt uneasy whenever she thought about how she almost set the kitchen on fire when she went in before.
"Don't worry, I'm watching over you." Shen Mo patted Xiao Yu's shoulder. "As long as you follow my instructions, there won't be any problems."
"Okay, I'll give it a try." With Chen Mo's comfort, Xiao Yu regained some confidence.
Perhaps she wasn't unsuitable for cooking; it was just that she hadn't found a good teacher. Maybe Chen Mo was the benefactor in her life, the one who could teach her to cook.
"Pour in the oil first." Since she had decided to teach Xiao Yu how to cook, Chen Mo naturally prepared to start teaching her from scratch.
"Um, what do we do with this fire?" Xiao Yu glanced at the stove. To be honest, she had studied the stove before, but she still didn't understand how to use it.
Shen Mo smiled mysteriously, "I know how to do that." In order to stand out on this show.
Shen Mo learned everything she could, and even went to the countryside to see the rural kitchens. So, this stove was really no challenge for her.
"You're so amazing! You can do everything!" Xiao Yu's eyes practically sparkled with admiration.
Shen Mo smiled, said nothing, and quickly started a fire.
"Should we stir-fry this green vegetable first?" Xiao Yu asked nervously, holding a plate of green vegetables and looking at the pot in front of her.
"Don't be so tense, relax." Chen Mo added a few more pieces of firewood, glanced at the oil in the pot, and said, "Alright, you can pour the vegetables in now."
"Okay." Xiao Yu flicked her wrist, and the vegetables in the plate went into the pot. The crackling sound startled her.
"This is normal, don't be afraid," Chen Mo reassured Xiao Yu. "Okay, you can add the seasoning now."
"good."
"No, that's vinegar, don't put it in..."
"No, no, no, that's not salt, you've got the wrong one."
"Oh my god, don't put that in!"
"How did it catch fire? Cover it with a lid! Oh my god, don't pour water in!"

Chapter 80
==================
Lin Xiaoxiao came downstairs after taking a shower. Before she could even say a word to Tang Xue, she saw smoke rising from the direction of the kitchen.
Then they heard Shen Mo's desperate voice. The two exchanged a glance and quickly ran towards the kitchen.
Before they even reached the kitchen, they saw two figures rushing out, coughing.
"What's going on? What happened?" The commotion naturally disturbed the others as well.
Hearing the noise, the people in the yard rushed in. They saw the kitchen still smoking and Shen Mo and Xiao Yu looking disheveled. They exchanged glances, all looking bewildered.
They really didn't understand how cooking a meal could have resulted in the kitchen being set on fire.
"I'm sorry, it's all my fault." Xiao Yu wiped her face, looking very frustrated and remorseful.
She really shouldn't have taken chances. She knew her own situation, but she still couldn't resist the temptation, and in the end, she messed things up.
"No, this has nothing to do with you, it's my problem." Although Chen Mo hadn't yet recovered from what had just happened, she said.
But she quickly picked up where Xiao Yu left off. To be honest, Shen Mo really didn't expect that someone could cause so many problems just by cooking a simple dish.
Previously, Xiao Yu said that she almost set the kitchen on fire while cooking, and Shen Mo genuinely thought that Xiao Yu was using such a topic to attract the audience's attention.
I never expected that Xiao Yu was exaggerating at all when she said that. If she hadn't acted quickly, who knows what the kitchen would have become.
