Chapter 430 - Fishball Rice Noodles

…

…

Fu Jiayan didn’t discover anything at all. He merely outstretched his arms to give Xiang Yi a hug.

Xiang Yi remained still and took a step back to avoid being touched by Xiang Yi.

“Save the hug.”

Not having his hug reciprocated, Fu Jiayan scratched his head and said, “I’m not that ugly, right…”

Due to the angle, Xiang Yi didn’t notice the slender figure in the doorway and said seriously, “It’s not because of you. It’s because I’m carrying a torch for someone.”

“Oh… huh!??!”

Fu Jiayan was flabbergasted. ‘Xiang Yi has a crush on someone? Who can it be?’

He didn’t know much about “Two Under One Roof” before joining the streams. Usually, he was really busy with work too and rarely surfed the Internet. SO, he didn’t even know what the UntimelyCouple was…

Simply put, he barely paid any attention to the things on the Internet…

…

Hear the Xiang Yi’s calm and gentle voice, the rhythm of Shi Sui’s gentle finger-tapping against the wall became extremely chaotic.

‘There’s someone she likes, huh?’

‘Could it be me? Or is it someone else?’

Shi Sui realized that he was actually a little nervous.

Until…

“Xiang Yi! I’m here to pick you up!” the manager, Ah Nan’s gentle and enthusiastic voice came from outside the door.

He was carrying a large backpack on his bag, clad in a short-sleeved shirt and a pair of pants. He looked like a fresh and clean college student.

Si Chuanbai, who was dressed in a smart suit and exuding the aura of an elite, was standing beside him. Their heights were about ten centimeters apart and although they were dressed in starkly different styles, they surprisingly didn’t seem out of place standing together.

“Ah Nan.” Xiang Yi grinned and asked, “Have you had breakfast?”

Ah Nan said honestly, “No, my car broke down. Mr. Si sent me here.”

The man beside him, Si Chuanbai, suddenly covered his lips with his hand and coughed twice.

Ah Nan immediately acknowledged, “Mr. Si hasn’t had breakfast yet!”

Xiang Yi said, “Quickly come inside then. I’ve cooked some fishball with rice noodles.”

Si Chuanbai said with a smile, “I’ll have to trouble you then, Missy.”

…

The fish balls were made by Xiang Yi early in the morning. She chopped up some fresh fish meat and mixed them with sweet potato flour. A variety of fillings was then stored inside the fish paste before being rolled into bright and shiny balls with rich fillings.

The rice noodles cooked in the claypot were crisp and smooth. They were then added to some soup cooked with ribs, paired with a ladle full of fish balls and seasoned with scallions, chili oil, and soya sauce. The bowl of piping hot rice noodles was then served to him.

“Gulp…” Ah Nan swallowed his saliva and tried his best to curb his appetite before pushing the bowl to Si Chuanbai. “Mr. Si, please.”

Si Chuanbai held up his glasses and glanced at the rice noodles expressionlessly. “I’m not hungry yet.”

Ah Nan asked with glistening eyes, “Shall I eat first?”

“It’s up to you.”

‘Oh, yay!’ Ah Nan cheered gleefully and picked up his chopsticks to start eating, taking large mouthfulsat a time.

The rice noodles were slightly springy and the broth was warm and viscous. It was good for warming one’s stomach and the best part of it all was the fish balls that were each stuffed with a different filling. The fishballs in his bowl were stuffed with pork, fresh shrimp, mushrooms and tofu… Each one was fresh and delicious!

The food was so warm that Ah Nan kept huffing and puffing. “Hoo… Hah… Sss…”

Si Chuanbai said, “Slow down, no one’s going to snatch your food away.”

“This is delicious! This is really tasty too!”

When it was Si Chuanbai’s turn, he tried his best to control himself but to no avail.

On the other hand, Fu Jiayan also huffed and puffed as he ate, not bothering about his image as an A-lister at all.

After finishing a bowl of noodles, Ah Nan made a heart with his fingers and said to Xiang Yi, “Love you, Xiang Yi!”

Xiang Yig grinned and acted like she was catching the heart.

Although she hadn’t known Ah Nan for long, she felt as if they were best friends.

Fu Jiayan, who saw that scene, suddenly had a horrified gaze…
