Chapter 36 Second Meeting with the Peony Fairy (1/2)
Xiao Bing wouldn't starve to death. In fact, when he came home, he was already full, or at least full of drink. That night, he and Ye Tianming each drank more than ten bottles of beer, and then came home drunk.
He walked into the house and looked at the clock hanging on the wall. It was already eleven o'clock in the evening. Xiao Bing laid on his bed and was fast asleep.
The next morning, probably because of the hangover the night before, Xiao Bing got up a little late. When he got up, he glanced at the time. It was already over eight o'clock in the morning, but Su Xiaoxiao was still cooking soup in the kitchen.
Xiao Bing went in and asked, surprised, ”Why are you still at home? Don't you need to go to school? It is not good to ask for leave every day...”
”You should care more about your little girlfriend, not me...” Su Xiaoxiao seemed to realize that there seemed to be something wrong with her tone. So she quickly changed the topic and said, ”Today is a weekend, I'm going to make soup for my mom.”
Xiao Bing laughed, ”Your mom would be very happy to have such a filial daughter like you.”
Su Xiaoxiao glanced at Xiao Bing and asked, ”Today is a holiday, aren't you going to ask Ye Xiaoxi for a date?”
”You just reminded me.” Xiao Bing's eyes lit up and said, ”I'll call her later.”
That little girl, Yezi, was really too attractive. Xiao Bing felt as if he was in a honey pot for the last two days. Upon the name of Yezi, he felt his whole heart turn sweet.
Su Xiaoxiao stared straight at Xiao Bing with a serious face. ”Xiao Bing, I must remind you.”
Xiao Bing hurried to listen carefully. She called his full name. He must have done something wrong.
”Don't let your relationship affect the noodle shop business. My parents set up the Xiaoxiao Noodle House. They worked so hard every day to run the noodle shop. It's worth more than just money. It's the result of their painstaking efforts, and they traded it for caring for me and my sister.”
Su Xiaoxiao looked at him so seriously that Xiao Bing could not refute it. Ever since he promised to stay at the restaurant, he seemed to rarely stay there. Sometimes there were special situations, and sometimes it was to do things for the Su family. Now, since the Su family had settled their business and he was the only one in the restaurant that could make the special noodles, he couldn't affect the business because of himself.
So Xiao Bing accepted it with an open mind. When facing criticism, Xiao Bing was able to accept it very well.
Seeing that Xiao Bing didn't talk back, Su Xiaoxiao continued, ”Actually, since you could invite Mr. Zhang to treat my mother, you should be a very capable person, that's why he was willing to do this for your sake. A noodle restaurant may not be the right place for you. If you don't want to do it, you can tell me.”
Xiao Bing said, ”I accept your criticism and I promise it won't happen again.”
Afterwards, Xiao Bing smiled and said, ”How about I make breakfast for you, to make amends.”
Su Xiaoxiao looked at Xiao Bing's smirking appearance and felt unhappy. She really didn't know what Ye Xiaoxi liked about him. He was dirty-minded, and not serious. Did the campus belle have poor taste?
Xiao Bing would be furious if he knew what Su Xiaoxiao was thinking. How can a handsome and capable man like himself have that sort of image in her mind?
Su Xiaoxiao glanced at Xiao Bing and said, ”Breakfast is ready. Go and eat it.”
Su Xiaoxiao went on cooking soup again.
Xiao Bing sat down and munched on his breakfast. He said, ”When you go to the hospital, tell your mom that I'll be in the restaurant. She doesn't need to worry.”
”She is not worried. But I am.”
Xiao Bing laughed, ”I am actually a very reliable person. I'll go to the restaurant after I finish breakfast. By the way, you look very nice in this outfit. Like a neighborhood girl. ”
Su Xiaoxiao looked down at the apron and the clothes she was wearing, her face was slightly hot and she snorted, ”Nonsense.”
Xiao Bing stopped talking and kept eating. He had several steamed buns, put down his chopsticks and wiped his mouth, ”I'll go first.”
”Come back early tonight!”
”Got it!” Xiao Bing walked out of the door. He suddenly felt like her last sentence sounded like the talk between a husband and wife... Well, don't overthink too much, don't overthink.
Walking on the road, Xiao Bing thought about what Su Xiaoxiao said. In fact, he didn't blame her. No one wanted to have a guest at his restaurant for nothing. What's more, the noodle restaurant couldn't attract more customers without its exclusive noodles. But this way, Yezi would be alone. ”Alas, today's weather is good and sunny. It would be great if we could take a walk in the park...” Xiao Bing thought to himself.
