Chapter 62 Slight Fascination, Slight Intoxication (2/2)
”No. I just saw someone I know.” Xiao Bing pointed at a place not far away. Xiaoxiao followed his gaze and saw Zhang Gui and Yingzi on the street with their hands joined together. Yingzi put on light makeup today, instead of her usual heavy makeup. She looked a far cry from the whore she used to look like. Now she looked like a good wife to Zhang Gui.
”You know that woman?” Xiaoxiao asked.
”No. But I know that man.”
”...”
”That man is the husband of the new owner of the building next to our Noodle House. The woman beside him should a whore. Looks like he's cheating on his wife again.”
”Whore?” Xiaoxiao sized up the affectionate couple and shook her head, ”She doesn't look like one to me.”
”Really? Why?”
Xiaoxiao made an analysis. ”I don't know much about whores. But as a woman, I can tell that her smile comes from the bottom of her heart. To be honest, that man looks neither handsome nor rich. Though he has a restaurant, I'm sure that she really loves him, and this man loves her... Could there be true love between a man and a whore?”
Xiao Bing could not help laughing after hearing her analysis. ”You are making some sense. Why don't you study psychology from now on?”
Xiaoxiao shook her head. ”It is easy to get stressed out when studying psychology. I might go crazy if I have a weak mind.”
”You look like a little manic to me now, hahaha!”
Su Xiaoxiao rolled her eyes at him.
When they reached home, Xiao Bing began cooking in the kitchen with Xiaoxiao helping him. Suddenly, his phone rang as he was holding a big spoon. ”It must be Yezi. Answer the call. I'll take over,” Xiaoxiao said.
”Okay.” Xiao Bing went to the living room after answering the call.
”Hey, Brother Bing. What are you doing?”
”Cooking. You want to come over?”
”Really? Are you sure that it's not Xiaoxiao that is cooking for you?”
Xiao Bing grinned, ”How can I impress her with my skills if I don't show it to her?”
”Then I would love to have a taste. But I'm afraid Xiaoxiao won't be happy about it.”
”She definitely wants you to be here,” Xiao Bing said. ”Though she looks cold, she has a warm heart. She's a very kind person.”
”Well, have you felt the warmth of her heart?”
”Don't think too much. Are you coming or not? I'll make more if you are.”
”Haha, just kidding. I'd better not to come... because the food is already prepared here. I just want to know if you found any suitable location.”
”There are two that we can do with but we are not entirely satisfied.”
”We can't make do when it comes to business. The expansion can wait a couple of days. But we must try our best to make it perfect.”
”I could have paid a visit to two other stores if I did not go to the police station. But we can continue tomorrow.”
”Alright. Tell me if you need help.”
Xiao Bing chuckled. His voice suddenly turned soft as he said, ”Yezi...”
”What?”
”Are you missing me...” Xiao Bing did not expect his heart to thump after saying this. He was looking forward to the answer. Many women had asked him the same question before, but he had always found it childish. He never thought that he would be this nervous and eager in front of a girl.
Before he could hear the answer, he heard a scream from the kitchen. Startled, he said in a hurry, ”I'll call you later. I'll go and check on Xiaoxiao.”
He ended the call and rushed into the kitchen. He found Xiaoxiao standing there with her hands clasped. She was frowning and there were tears in her eyes. When he held her hands, he realized there was a blister on it. Looking at her watering eyes, he could not help blaming himself. ”It's all my fault. I shouldn't have picked up that call.”
”It has nothing to do with you. I cook all the time. I wasn't being careful enough...”
Xiao Bing lowered his head and began to suck on her wound. He even gently licked the blister. Watching him do all of these, Xiaoxiao suddenly felt like it didn't hurt that much. She kept staring at him, not knowing that she was already drowning in his gentleness.
