Ms. Li couldn’t help but finish half a plate. Then, she put down her chopsticks in embarrassment.

Xu Tian had already finished eating and was unwillingly being forced to drink her milk by her brother’s stare.

Xu Le said, “Teacher Li, if you like it, eat more. Anyway, I am going to the store today. If I left the food in the fridge as leftovers, it won’t taste good when I come back.” After finding a reasonable way out for her, Teacher Li was overjoyed. She went forward and hugged Xu Le. “I love your culinary skills to death! When are you going to teach? I will definitely be the first to forward it!”

Xu Le was experienced this time and avoided her facial cleansing milk. He coughed lightly and said, “I have a favor to ask of Teacher Li.”

He expressed that he wanted Ms. Li to help him take care of Xu Tian. He would pay her according to the highest hourly rate, so that she could help his sister with homework and so on.

Teacher Li waved her hand generously and said, “Xu Tian is my student. Moreover, we live so close to each other, and I don’t have any children. It’s alright for me to help take care of her.”

“That’s right… Xu Le, can you come over to my house to cook again next time?”

Xu Le smiled. “Sure.”

Now that Xu Tian’s daily living and studies were taken care of, he heaved a sigh of relief. When he went to the shop in the morning, he was in a much better mood.

There was a long line at the door even before it opened.

Xu Le was too short to squeeze in, which made him not know whether to laugh or cry. He waved his hands and said, “Brothers, sisters, uncles, aunties, let me through. I’m opening the door!”

“Wow! It’s Xu Le!”

“He’s so cute, so small!”

“Can I take a picture with you?”

“How old are you? Why do you look so small?”

Many people took out their phones to take pictures of him. Xu Le was already used to these questions, so he ignored them and started his busy schedule for the day. Fortunately, there were only a few dishes on the menu, and everyone paid with their phones, so the orders would not be missed. Everything was going smoothly until noon when a rather discordant voice sounded. “Give me a serving of Konjac Noodle and Pork Flatbread!” Xu Le didn’t raise his head either. “The restaurant only sells the dishes on the menu. You can go next door and take a look.”

Xu Tian’s soft voice sounded. “No, since she wants to eat that, just make it for her.”

Xu Le subconsciously looked at his sister. “You skipped class today?”

“No.” Xu Tian grabbed the hand of the girl beside her and said coquettishly, “This is Ms. Li’s sister. I brought her here for good food.”

Xu Le handed over the dishes he had prepared and glanced at the girl. His hand trembled and he almost couldn’t hold the knife.

In his heart, he thought that he had recognized the wrong person. After confirming it again, he realized that it was indeed the school belle from his university days. Back then, when that girl in a white dress walked past them with her long hair fluttering in the wind, his roommate’s eyes were fixed on her.

However, Xu Le spent all his time playing games in his dorm and relied on his talent to graduate successfully. He had only heard about her from other people.
