Looking at the handsome face that was getting closer and closer to her, Xie Yunqi closed her eyes in panic, feeling full of anxiety: What are you doing? Why did it suddenly turn out like this?! A serious command came from above, 'Close your eyes', and the drowsy Xie Yunqi instinctively followed the voice and closed his eyes. A chill came from her hand, and Xie Yunqi secretly opened her eyes through a gap. She heard a light laugh coming from in front of her: "Alright ... Oh, "Xie Yunqi sat up from the bed and instinctively looked towards the cold place. Her eyes gradually widened, and she looked at the gift on her wrist with surprise - the bracelet and dial were both silver in color, with a simple and elegant style. The dial only had a cloud logo and 12 Miletus numbers, which really met Xie Yunqi's expectations. Do you like it? "The man seemed to ask casually, but his eyes were slightly uneasy. I love it so much! Thank you, brother! "Xie Yunqi laughed and gave the person in front of her a big hug, cheering as she ran away to show Xie Rui the amazing gift she had just received. The handsome man who still wanted to communicate with his "younger brother" looked somewhat surprised as Xie Yunqi, who was playing with his watch with his head down, bounced out of the room, lowered his head, and concealed a faint laugh that overflowed. Memories are over. Ah ah ah ah ah, "Xie Yunqi rubbed her hair frantically and said," Why did I agree to have a picnic with this guy? It must have been a brainstorm at that time, yet he was bought off by that guy with a watch People like Xie Beixiao are like the moon in water, the kind of person who can only be observed from afar and cannot be close to. This guy and the fox must have been from the same family 800 years ago: the same cunning. If we make friends with him, he might sell us and even count the money for us. Cough, by the way, why haven't you seen Xiaoyao lately? Is she sick? "Xie Yunqi had a deep impression of the maid who always stuttered when speaking. Xie Beixiao's movements of caressing her fingers stopped: "Her mother is sick, quite seriously. She quit her job a few days ago and said she wants to go back and take care of her mother. I have transferred some money to her card, which is enough to treat her mother's illness Ah? I see, I really hope her mother gets better soon, "Xie Yunqi scratched her head, brushing past this, not knowing what to say next, and the atmosphere began to become awkward again. Xie Beixiao smiled and looked at him without saying a word. Xie Yunqi was speechless at first and said, "Hmm, brother, try this ham. I baked it with catfish meat, and it has a faint fish aroma. It tastes oily and very tender and delicious Well, I'll try it... "Xie Beixiao paused for a moment and took a bite of the ham he had given him with a strong meat aroma." Hmm, the taste is indeed good, with a moderate salty aroma and a refreshing and chewy texture If friends who are familiar with Xie Beixiao's personality see him, they will definitely be shocked. You should know that this guy has always had an extreme cleanliness obsession, let alone eating things that others have picked up. Looking at the corners of his brother's mouth curling up while enjoying delicious food, Xie Yunqi threw the little anxiety in his heart to the country of Zhawa and felt a sense of accomplishment: "Brother, try this. The pickled chili chicken feet I made yesterday were marinated for a day and didn't have any fishy smell at all. When I first ate them, they were nothing, but the more I chewed them, the spicier and more crispy they became. They were both appetizing and refreshing Mmm, "Xie Beixiao picked up the chicken feet and put them in his mouth, with a very elegant demeanor. He squinted his eyes in enjoyment, indicating that he was in a good mood at the moment." I really like this flavor, make more next time "Wow!" Xie Yunqi exclaimed strangely, "So you like spicy food, brother?! Not bad, I also like spicy food! In fact, I have always been indifferent to spicy food. When the competition is over, I have to cook all kinds of delicious spicy food, such as boiled fish, chopped chili fish head, spicy chicken, Mapo tofu, etc Xie Yunqi spoke incessantly, while Xie Beixiao listened attentively while eating. The atmosphere gradually improved, no longer as dull as before. After speaking for a few minutes, Xie Yunqi's mouth became dry and he saw a small celadon bowl in front of him. The fingers holding the bowl were as white as jade. Xie Yunqi was stunned for a moment, took the small bowl, gulped down the milk inside, wiped his lips, and said, "Thank you, brother Xie Beixiao shook his head and smiled lightly, "Don't always pick up things for me. You should also eat some yourself, otherwise it will cool down later. Here, have some bread slices to cushion your stomach first, and then have some side dishes Well, okay, I really feel a bit hungry when you mention it, "Xie Yunqi chuckled foolishly as she touched her stomach. She spread a layer of sour and sweet homemade strawberry jam on the freshly baked bread with a faint heat brought by the servant, rolled it up, and took a big bite. The fragrance of wheat and the sweetness of strawberries lingered between her lips and teeth. Xie Beixiao looked at him and suddenly reached out a hand to touch his fair, jade like cheek. Xie Yunqi tilted his head to look at him and asked in confusion, "What's wrong, brother He shook the bright red strawberry jam on his slender fingers and said, "It's stained with jam Ah, really, let me give you some paper to wipe, "Xie Yunqi hurriedly lowered her head and searched for tissues from the basket. When I looked up, I saw my elder brother putting his finger into his mouth and gently l*****g it, "It tastes good Xie Yunqi's face suddenly turned red: 'Brother!!' Xie Beixiao looked at him innocently and said, "What This, this won't work, it will eat bacteria, "Xie Yunqi stuttered. Xie Beixiao touched his silly fur and picked up a chicken claw to eat. Xie Yunqi, whose skin looked like it had been roasted, was stunned for a moment and diverted his attention. He shouted, "Don't finish all of it, leave me one, brother Xie Beixiao chuckled lightly. The meal was pretty good, of course Xie Yunqi said. If his brother hadn't teased him from time to time and praised his cooking skills, the meal would have been even better. Originally, Xie Yunqi planned to eat until he was 80% full, but suddenly realized that Xie Beixiao could always say a few words on any topic, and was quite insightful. He was the kind of knowledgeable person that Xie Yunqi respected the most in his previous life. Because he had never been to school, it was his grandfather who bought textbooks to teach him word by word in his spare time cooking. Therefore, whenever he met someone who had a lot of knowledge, he was always unconsciously attracted. Xie Beixiao seemed to have noticed this and was consciously guiding him to ask more questions before answering them himself. In short, the two of them enjoyed their meal together, and piles of food that had already been eaten were taken down by the servant. Picking up the wet handkerchief held by the servant's hands and wiping the fingers stained with oil, Xie Beixiao asked, "Did you confirm that you said you were going to the food planet to participate in the food competition last time Well, I've already registered my name, "Xie Yunqi nodded vigorously." Then I'll be able to see what level of cooking I really have. To have good cooking skills, besides practicing more, I also need to learn from others. I can't just work in isolation. It's a good opportunity to exchange cooking tips with others Very good, work hard, "Xie Beixiao nodded and patted his shoulder." Don't let the royal family's reputation slip away Xie Yunqi grinned and said, "Haha, brother, don't worry, I will definitely win a championship. I still have confidence in my cooking skills Xie Beixiao shook his head, clearly feeling that he was overly optimistic, but he didn't intend to pour cold water on him when he was confident. He just smiled and said, "It's okay no matter what, the key is to participate, don't burden yourself too much Xie Yunqi made a face at him and waved his small fist, "I knew you didn't believe what I said, just wait and see Returning to the room, Xie Yunqi thought of Xiaoyao she had just mentioned and planned to give her a call. In the past few days, his phone has stored many numbers of new acquaintances. His fingers swiped on the screen and quickly found the familiar name. He quickly dialed it: Sorry, the number you dialed is currently unanswered. Please leave a message if you have any questions Xiaoyao, this is Xie Yunqi. I want to ask how your mother's illness is. If you don't have enough money, be sure to tell me, "Xie Yunqi said Xiao Yao, who took off her maid uniform and put on a simple white shirt and pleated skirt, looked sweet and lovely. She inserted a bouquet of beautiful flowers that she had just selected from the flower shop into the vase in front of the hospital bed. Watching her mother's sleeping face with a smile, she truly let go of her inner dissatisfaction. If it weren't for that person, she wouldn't have had enough money to pay the doctor in a timely manner to have them perform this surgery. She doesn't blame anyone, only hates herself for being too young. At a young and reckless age, I always believed that everything should go according to my own ideas. Now, upon further reflection, I find it somewhat unbelievable that I was discussing 'love' with the Crown Prince with a stiff neck. It was not a foolish and laughable remark, but rather... too naive. She and the prince were already in an unequal position, and the prince's pride made him disdain to lower his noble head and listen to the thoughts of those humble people, only to sneer at it. Her feelings for the Second Prince were not the love at first sight she had imagined. After careful consideration, she realized that it was more of a longing for the kind of life that was impossible to enjoy from birth, and for the positive, optimistic, and approachable attitude towards life. She wanted to become someone like the Second Prince and enjoy a comfortable life since birth. She didn't have to give up any unwanted possessions and already had many things that people couldn't ask for. It seemed that from the day she was born, she didn't have to learn the skill of making better choices between two things, and at the same time, she had a likable personality.
