Chapter 1103: Chapter 1100: Xiao Lizi and Baby Boy. Extra (61) (To Be Continued)

Bai Lu felt somewhat resentful, "Who said I worked overtime until dawn? My daily schedule is very normal..."

Basically, Bai Lu’s daily schedule was normal, but there were occasional exceptions.

"Doctor Bai, you were working overtime at three AM the night before last, weren’t you?"

Bai Lu still wanted to argue, but Yan Xu said, "That night, I woke up feeling thirsty and uncomfortable, came out to get some water to drink, and saw that the light in your room was still on."

Bai Lu had no rebuttal and could only reluctantly crawl back onto the sofa and continue reading her book.

Soon after, a rich aroma wafted from the kitchen.

Bai Lu was already extremely hungry, and now, sniffing the air, her stomach growled even louder. How could she continue reading?

She simply closed the book, got up, and walked back to the kitchen.

"I’m here for a sneak lesson!"

Yan Xu turned his head to glance at her, "Your skill level is on par with Aunt Spoon’s?"

Bai Lu "cough cough" coughed twice and raised her hand, making a small gesture with her fingers, "Seems like, just a tiny bit better?"

Yan Xu shook his head with a smile, "Then you should just focus on waiting for the food, Doctor Bai." No,

Bai Lu grew a bit miffed, "Yan Xu, that’s blatant discrimination. You can’t be serious, just frying a few dumplings, right? Am I, as a genius doctor, going to be defeated by them?"

As she spoke, she rolled up her sleeves to help.

Yan Xu extended his hand to stop her, "That’s enough, we all have our specialties. If you don’t know, you don’t know—it’s not something to be ashamed of. If you want to learn, just stand back and watch."

Bai Lu had no choice but to watch from a distance of one meter as Yan Xu expertly held a pan with one hand and a spatula with the other, scooping out a pan full of golden brown dumplings onto a plate. Unable to resist, she sniffed and swallowed.

"So delicious!"

Yan Xu pushed the plate towards her, "Take it out. Would you like anything else to eat?"

Having the chance to eat such delicious fried dumplings was already an unexpected treat for Bai Lu; she dared not hope for more.

"No, no more, I just wanted a few dumplings to quell the craving!"

Besides, how could she have the nerve to bother Young Master Yan to labor in the kitchen for her so late?

She hurriedly took out the dumplings and ran back to get their bowls and chopsticks.

"Yan Xu, would you like a glass of juice? I can make you one."

She at least ought to do something for Yan Xu, who had toiled over the stove cooking dumplings for her.

Yan Xu had already washed and put away the pan and spatula and wiped his hands. He grabbed Bai Lu as she was about to get fruits from the refrigerator to make juice.

"No need, I’ll just have plain water. Don’t trouble yourself, fried dumplings should be eaten hot; they’re not good once they’re cold."

With that, he had already pulled Bai Lu’s arm, leading her out of the kitchen.

Bai Lu scurried to pour Yan Xu a glass of water before she finally sat down, picked up a dumpling, dipped it in vinegar and chili sauce, and popped it into her mouth.

With the thin and fragrant skin packed with bursting juicy meat filling, they were so delicious that she clicked her tongue a few times in approval.

"To be able to eat such a treat so late at night is like living the life of the immortals."

Yan Xu watched her amusedly, "Eat slowly, no one is competing with you for them!"

Bai Lu gobbled up five or six dumplings in one go before her cravings were slightly appeased. She then took out her mobile phone and snapped several close-up shots of the partially eaten dumplings.

A few seconds later, Bai Lu’s Friends Circle was updated.

"The life of an immortal!", with the attached photo, was the same few dumplings she had just captured from different angles along with a cup of hot tea.

The one to claim the top spot was Bai Shao, the mother.

"Baby, did you actually learn how to pan-fry dumplings?"

Without waiting for Bai Lu to reply, Zhu Qianying had already responded to Xiao Shao’s comment, "Judging by the looks of it, the dumplings were pan-fried by our baby boy. Xiao Shao, take a look, can you see our baby boy’s reflection on the table?"

Upon reading Zhu Qianying’s latter words, Bai Lu quickly enlarged the photo to take a closer look. Sure enough, on the smooth surface of the table, there indeed seemed to be a shadow resembling their baby boy.

Yan Xu watched Bai Lu eating while fiddling with her mobile phone and decided to pick up his own phone, open Friends Circle, and reply to Zhu Qianying, "Mother, it was indeed your beloved son!"

Bai Lu continued to scroll through her mobile phone while not forgetting to eat; the dumplings on her plate were quickly disappearing. Realizing her conscience, she leaned over and poked Yan Xu’s arm, "Hey, aren’t you eating? If you don’t eat, I’ll finish them all!"

Yan Xu glanced at the dumplings on the table and replied calmly, "Go ahead, I’m not hungry."

So he had spent all that time in the kitchen, purely to serve her?

"Young Master Yan, you know I’ll be so touched I won’t be able to sleep."

Yan Xu’s eyes flickered slightly, but his tone betrayed no emotion.

"Consider it compensation for keeping me company during my recovery..."

Yan Xu readily gave Bai Lu an out, and she quickly took it.

"Then next time you need company, remember to call me!"

Yan Xu smiled and nodded, "Definitely!"

Bai Lu, seeing him agree so readily, couldn’t help but push her luck, "Then... can I request something other than dumplings for a midnight snack?"

Yan Xu was very accommodating, "As long as there are ingredients in the fridge, anything that’s not too much trouble is fine."

Bai Lu happily made a ’yea’ gesture and quickly picked up another dumpling to put in her mouth.

However, one-third of that whole plate of dumplings still ended up in Yan Xu’s stomach, because he was worried that she would overeat and suffer a sleepless night of discomfort.

After finishing the dumplings, Bai Lu took the initiative to tidy up. When she finished washing the dishes and came out, Yan Xu was still sitting on the sofa reading a book.

"Aren’t you going to sleep?"

Normally, at this time, Yan Xu would be preparing for bed.

Without shifting his position, Yan Xu said, "I ate, so I’ll sleep half an hour later."

Bai Lu uttered a sound of acknowledgment, "Then you should wake up half an hour later tomorrow morning, just push back the time for your morning run."

Yan Xu nodded.

Bai Lu returned to her original spot intending to continue reading, but to her dismay, she found that even having shared one-third of the dumplings with Yan Xu, she had still overeaten!

Helplessly, she picked up her book and stood leaning against the back of the sofa to read.

Seeing her stance, Yan Xu raised an eyebrow, "You really overdid it?"

Bai Lu sighed in resignation, "Yeah... I guess my stomach just can’t handle good food!"

Yan Xu put his book aside and went to the kitchen to fetch the medicine box from the cabinet.

"Take a look for yourself to see which one suits, all our spare medicines are right here. If it’s really bad, call the pharmacy and have them deliver it."

Bai Lu rummaged through the medicine box on the coffee table for a while before finding a bottle of digestive tablets.

She made do with taking several tablets. After finishing up, she tidied the medicines back into the medicine box. In the process, she also picked out some expired ones, "These few medicines, I’ll replace them with new ones tomorrow. Also, why do we have such a small stock of digestive medicine? Should I prepare a few types for tomorrow?"

Although Yan Xu often stayed here, his body was usually in excellent health. Except for incidents like this accidental injury, he rarely needed to search the medicine box for anything.

"You decide. Right now, only Grandpa lives here year-round, so there’s no need to stock too much."
