Chapter 160: A Familiar Taste

Chapter 160: Chapter 160: A Familiar Taste

"Second Brother, if you say one more word, I’ll turn you into a pig-headed Second Brother!" Wan Chu’er said through gritted teeth.

Xiao Bai’s eyes widened in disbelief, "Why would you want to turn me into a pig-headed Second Brother? Is it because your cooking is really terrible and I found out, so now you’re lashing out in embarrassment? Wan Chu’er, you can’t be like this..."

Seeing Wan Chu’er’s fist coming his way, Xiao Bai quickly dodged, shouting as he did, "I’m saying it for your own good, okay, okay, I’ll stop talking. Hurry, the noodles are about to overcook, once they’re ready, you’ve got to eat them right away, oh—, Second Brother was wrong, Second Brother won’t say anymore..."

Xiao Bai rubbed his shoulders, feeling emotionally wounded inside. Truth really is hard to accept!

During the meal, Xiao Bai picked up a poached egg from his own bowl and passed it towards Wan Chu’er’s bowl.

Wan Chu’er’s face showed disgust as she quickly blocked it, "You eat it, I prefer scrambled eggs."

Xiao Bai looked at the two poached eggs in his own bowl and clicked his tongue twice, "You really don’t know how to enjoy life. Let me tell you, poached eggs are the proper way to eat eggs."

What kind of theory is that, Wan Chu’er scoffed, "Eat up, eat up, if you don’t hurry, your noodles will overcook."

Xiao Bai then stopped talking and just started to eat, but after just one bite, he paused.

"Ouch, all of this commotion made me forget something important." Saying this, he stood up and hurried over to his suitcase.

Wan Chu’er blinked, guessing what could be so important to Xiao Bai.

Then she saw Xiao Bai take a jar of pickles out of his suitcase, with its familiar packaging and the label that she and Bai Zhixi had designed themselves, which left her momentarily stunned.

Xiao Bai said with a cheeky smile, "I was afraid you couldn’t get this in Beijing, so Second Brother brought it especially for you. How can you eat noodles without pickles?"

Wan Chu’er recalled the Wu Family Noodle House in Wutong County. There was a time when she and Bai Zhixi went to the noodle house, and she casually mentioned that noodles and pickles make a good pairing, which even Boss Wu wrote down and hung on the wall of Wu Family Noodle House.

Times change, places change, people change...

Xiao Bai casually took a bowl from the kitchen, scooped out some pickles and said with a smile, "Try it, see if it’s still that familiar taste, Second Brother is good to you, right?"

But when he looked up, he saw Wan Chu’er’s dazed expression and said, "What’s wrong? Are you so touched you’re about to cry? Haha, Wan Chu’er, you don’t have to thank me too much."

The slight sadness in Wan Chu’er’s heart was washed away by Xiao Bai’s words, and she started to laugh, "Second Brother, I finally notice there are moments when you’re not so silly."

She picked up a piece of pickle and chewed it slowly in her mouth, finding the taste unchanged, still the same as when Bai Zhixi was around.

"Thank you, Second Brother."

"If you really want to thank me, then stop swinging your fists at Second Brother from now on. Whatever Second Brother says, you listen up, it’s all for your own good."

Wan Chu’er: "...Your noodles are really about to burn."

Xiao Bai glared at her, "Stubborn girl!" He then stopped talking and focused on eating, for he really was hungry.

After the meal, Wan Chu’er washed the dishes while Xiao Bai quickly took a bath and got dressed.

They had plans to meet someone in the afternoon, so he definitely needed to tidy up a bit.

Wan Chu’er stared blankly at the transformed Xiao Bai, blinking several times, but suppressed the urge to tease him and kept her comments to herself.

Xiao Bai was decked out in a crisp white suit with a black shirt underneath, and in the pocket of the jacket, he placed a floral handkerchief. On his feet were a pair of shiny leather shoes.

The clothes were one thing, but he had also styled his hair in a trendy fashion and even spritzed on some cologne.

He was so vain it was almost unbearable!
