Chapter 818 - Salty Person (1/2)
After leaving Ah-Si's room, Nora had brought a bowl of soup for Xiu and Darren. Obviously, she wished to brag a little about her cooking skills.
”Xiu, I brought some soup for you.”
Xiu looked at Nora who had her eyes covered as she stepped inside the room. ”Why are you covering your eyes?”
Nora slowly peeked through the gap in her eyes and put her hand down as she sighed, ”Because I don't trust you both.”
”Excuse me?”
”You even kicked the nurses out of the room. I was afraid the blinding light of your love might blind me. Or the pink bubbles emitting around you too might get into my eyes.”
”Regan, can I throw a slipper at her?” asked Xiu as she looked at her husband.
Darren ran his head through her hair to calm her down, ”There is no need for that. See? She is so thoughtful, she even brought you soup.”
Nora put the table on the bed and placed the two bowls of soup before them saying, ”You both should try it.”
Xiu eyed the soup that looked just alright in an appearance before she took a sniff of it. However, her eyes still held doubt as she eyed this bowl of soup intently.
”Why are you being so cautious?” asked Nora. ”I made it with so much love.”
”I have to be cautious,” replied Xiu. ”I don't trust the - you who would want to cook.”
Nora glared at her, ”I made it for my sick boyfriend and he had it as well. He said it's delicious. Don't you dare slander me!”
Xiu frowned at her words, ”Ah-Si is sick? What happened to him?”
”He has a fever,” replied Nora looking worried.
”Fever? How did he get a fever out of nowhere?”
”Do you have the trademark to get sick out of nowhere? No one else can do the same?” Nora shot back.
”You!” Xiu huffed and decided not to say anything when she felt Darren's hand on her back. She calmed down instantly. She took the spoon and drank the soup, only to want to spurt it all out. She choked it down with much difficulty and seeing how Darren was about to take a sip as well, she held his hand, ”Don't!”
”Why are you stopping him?” inquired Nora and Darren had the inquisitive look on his face as well.
Xiu looked at her best friend and said, ”Nora, if you want to kill me just give me a tiny bit of poison. Don't feed me such things in an attempt to make me hate one of the things I cherish in my life; eating. Food is sacred!”
”What does that supposed to mean?”
”Is it raining salt these days?” retorted Xiu. ”How can you even feed a patient with this kind of a thing? Isn't it torture enough for me to eat bland food that now you're throwing this salty food at my face?”
Nora stepped up and took a sip from her bowl, she also wanted to spit it out. She coughed a little before saying, ”How come it's so salty?”
”You tell me, food goddess! How is it this salty? Did the salt god overwhelm your food with blessings?”
