566 Brought Him Before Her (2/2)

'As if I'm that easy to find. Once I decided to hide, you won't even be able to see my shadow! Then you'll regret talking so rudely to me all the time. And looking down at my skills.'

*End of Flashback*

But the one thing he loved about the things she made was that it brought a very homey feeling. It reminded him of those summer days in his childhood where he would run home just to eat the food made by his mother. And he loved that feeling.

”Is it that spicy?”

Xiu's question brought Han Bohai back to the present and he realized that this meal was made by the girl sitting before him. Who had the same name as his Sister Xiu.

”Is it really spicy?” Xiu repeated her question and he shook his head in reply. ”Then is it that bad?” He shook his head again. He seemed to have not eaten this good of a meal in years. How could it be bad? ”Then why are you crying?”

Only now did Han Bohai lifted his hand to touch the cheek where a tear was rolling down. He didn't even realize when his tears had fallen. It was truly a wonder to himself how he could cry so easily and that too before a stranger. Perhaps, the taste of the food touched him so deeply that he couldn't hold back his emotions.

”Why are you really crying?” Xiu asked in a soft voice again.

Shaking his head, he answered, ”The taste just reminded me of someone.”

Xiu's expressions also softened as she asked, ”And who is that person?”

”Someone very special,” said Han Bohai.

Xiu didn't even notice how her lips curled up into a wide smile when she heard that. Even if he wasn't talking about her, she'd just assume he was. That thought was enough to keep her happy for the whole day. Actually, no! Seeing him in person today was also enough to keep her in a good mood for the whole week.

Wiping his tears, he said, ”I'm sorry for spoiling the mood. I couldn't help it.”

”It's fine as long as you are enjoying the food.” Xiu obviously didn't mind anything right now. In fact, right now she was in such a good mood that even if someone slapped her she'd still be grinning like an idiot. ”Eat more. Don't hold back just because of me.”

Han Bohai didn't need to be told twice. He was already enjoying this meal very much. How was he supposed to shy away now?

Xiu couldn't express in words just how much she was pleased to see the way Han Bohai enjoyed his food. It reminded her of old times when he would do anything to eat at her place. At every chance, he would avoid the takeout food saying, 'It's not healthy. Homemade food is still the best.'

Seeing him like this, Xiu thought he hadn't changed at all. He was still that Xiao Bobo who heartily enjoyed eating everything she cooked no matter how simple it was. Even if she made instant noodles, he would say it tastes better when she made it.

There was a bit of sadness in her eyes as she watched him eat. But mostly it was just pure happiness of seeing him so close. God really knew how to play this game. In the end, he was still brought right before her.
