416 Fried Eggs (1/2)

The meat and vegetables in the kitchen refrigerator were pretty fresh and came with many variations. One could tell that the people who lived there cooked often.

Brother Shuang glanced at the sauces on the countertop and the ingredients in the refrigerator. Very soon, she made up her mind on the menu after falling into silence for two to three seconds.

She made sautéed shredded pork in sweet bean sauce, sweet and sour spare ribs, stir-fried bamboo shoots, braised baby cabbage in broth, slicing the few varieties of vegetables in the refrigerator with sauces and lastly, and two bowls of simple mixed rice with poached egg on top.

In less than twenty minutes, three plates and three side dishes were served on the table. The dishes of colors and fragrance would make anyone drool.

Ye Shuang removed her jacket when she was cooking. She was only wearing a simple shirt and long pants. She rolled her sleeves up to her elbows, showing her beautiful, ripped arms. She wore a sky-blue apron. She lifted her head and smiled at Xiao Qi after bending while placing the last glass of warm water on the table. ”Alright, let's eat.”

Xiao Qi calmed completely as she was treated with such a warm atmosphere. The hot dishes' fragrance lingered in the room while the bright light shone on Brother Shuang's ridiculously handsome face. Such an image would give one indescribable comfort, making life better.

Xiao Qi had finally released the last breath of concern out of her chest and sat at the table obediently. She picked up the rice bowl, and having a pair of chopsticks shoved into her right hand, she ate, being served obediently like a four year old.

Ye Shuang was a little hungry as well, so she included a portion for herself when she was cooking. As Brother Shuang sat across from Xiao Qi with a rice bowl, she fed herself while taking care of the little girl who seemed to be too shy to eat at ease. ”You should eat more after the shock. You will naturally feel better after you've filled your stomach with food. Not a fan of ribs? I'll cook you fish tomorrow. I didn't have enough time today, so you'll have to bear with this. Here.”

The little girl panicked when Ye Shuang gave her a rib. ”I'll help myself. Thank you so much, Brother Ye.”

Brother Shuang smiled. ”We've been ordered to take care of you, and you encountered such a disturbance in the middle of the night. Just tell me if there's anything that you need, don't be shy.”

Xiao Qi's lifted lips went stiff, and she turned grim again. This time, it was not because she recalled the scare earlier.

What irritated her more was that she had told Ye Shuang everything before seeing his handsome face.

She realized that she had exposed that about herself while she was attracted to Ye Shuang's good looks. Her little heart had been crushed completely.

After they were done eating, Brother Shuang looked puzzled at Xiao Qi, who had become gloomier rather than more energized. She could not figure this girl out after frowning for a while; it was her first time seeing a lady who was not mesmerized by her good looks.

Fortunately, the little lady took care of the dishes despite being upset. Doing the dishes was what Ye Shuang hated most, so she appreciated that.

”I'm thinking…” Brother Shuang paused when Xiao Qi sat across her again after wiping her hands. She proceeded to speak, feeling troubled. ”If you trust me, I'm thinking maybe I'll move here with you before Xiao San returns.”

Ye Shuang paused after saying that. She seemed to be giving Xiao Qi, who was shocked by the suggestion, some time to think. She then glanced at the bathroom room and said with hidden meaning, ”After all, it's a little dangerous for you to be staying here alone.”

”It's very dangerous indeed,” Xiao Qi replied hesitantly.
