Chapter 632: Chapter 631: 631, it's not that I'm picky, it's just really not tasty!

“…” Is it ready to eat already? So fast?

But looking at his serious expression, Mo Weiyi made an effort to seem pleased, “Great job, great job, hurry up, I’m starving!”

Xiao Yebai’s lips curled slightly, and Aunt Zhou kindly said, “Princess, I’ll make you a couple of side dishes.”

She looked in the bowl and seeing nothing but noodles and a white egg. It obviously didn’t look appetizing, hence her kind proposition.

But Xiao Yebai shot her a look immediately.

Aunt Zhou: “…”

Mo Weiyi didn’t think it was a big deal, “That sounds great, Aunt Zhou, could you make some more food, Xiaobai hasn’t had dinner yet,”

“Sure thing, princess,” Aunt Zhou sighed in relief and busied herself.

First, she tidied up the messy drawer, then cleaned the stove, even the pot…

Tsk tsk tsk.

Master Xiao, could you please avoid my kitchen from now on? Aunt Zhou silently grumbled in her mind, can’t you just remain your non-worldly self, Master Xiao?

Xiao Yebai placed the bowl of noodles on the dining table.

Mo Weiyi was already sitting there, looking at the clear soup with a poached egg and noodles. She held up her two bear paws, “Xiaobai, you feed me.”

Only her fingers could move, but the doctors had said it was best not to move them.

Xiao Yebai picked up the chopsticks, first picking up the poached egg and bringing it to Mo Weiyi’s small mouth.

Watching her open her mouth and take a small bite.

“How is it?” Xiao Yebai asked a bit unsure.”

Mo Weiyi chewed a bit, “…Not bad.”

It was a poached egg, it didn’t have much flavor, but it wasn’t terrible; it was edible.

Xiao Yebai quickly raised his eyebrows.

Mo Weiyi: “…”

Why did it seem like he was quite proud?

Almost like he was acting coy?

That makes sense, he’d never cooked before, and now for the first time, he had humbly made her noodles and even received praise. He might as well be coy.

Soon, the visibly pleased Xiao Yebai picked up another chopstick-full of noodles.

Mo Weiyi lowered her head slightly, bit the noodles and sucked them completely into her mouth. She chewed slowly and swallowed.

“…”

She didn’t say a word.

Because…

It really was… not tasty at all!

If the previous poached egg could be swallowed reluctantly, the noodles were utterly tasteless, as though they hadn’t been salted. Moreover, the noodles were overcooked and melted in her mouth, offering no resistance at all.

It was edible…

But it was tough to swallow.

Mo Weiyi struggled to finish that mouthful of noodles and carefully asked, “Xiaobai, did you forget to add salt?”

Xiao Yebai: “…”

He stayed silent, just picked up noodles with his chopsticks and tasted them.

Mo Weiyi: “…”

He always ate with elegance and poise, yet, even so, Mo Weiyi could tell his facial features had subtly changed while chewing.

Mo Weiyi relaxed inwardly, blurting out, “Not to nitpick, but it really doesn’t taste good!”

See, you can’t even stomach it yourself.

Xiao Yebai: “…”

Although it tasted bad, he still finished the chunk of noodles and then stood up, “I’m sorry. I haven’t cooked in a long time, I’m out of practice.”

Holding the bowl of noodles, he left.

“Xiaobai, where are you going?” Mo Weiyi hastily called out to him.

“I’m going to dump it,”Xiao Yebai said solemnly.

Mo Weiyi quickly said, “I really wasn’t criticizing you. I think it’s already amazing. But, if you’d added some salt, adjusted the taste, and paid a little more attention to the heat, maybe added some greens… it’d be even better.”

Xiao Yebai looked at her, “Oh.”

Mo Weiyi also quickly stood up, “Honestly, you did really well for your first time cooking noodles for me, way better than me by a hundred times!”

Now, Xiao Yebai’s gaze was getting a bit strange.

Mo Weiyi: “…”

Why did it seem as if he was so reluctant to be compared to her?

“I’m going to dump this now,” Xiao Yebai cut straight to the chase, “We’ll eat Aunt Zhou’s food later.”

“Alright then.” Mo Weiyi didn’t insist, however…

She quickly moved closer, rising on her tiptoes and gently brushed against the man’s handsome cheek, “This is your reward.”

…

Aunt Zhou quickly prepared a four-dish soup, all of them light dishes.

After setting the table, she glanced at Xiao Yebai and tactfully left the room.

It was time to give the couple a chance to bond.

Sure enough, as soon as she got to the living room, she heard the little princess’s tender voice in the dining room, “Xiaobai, feed me.”

“Hmm.” The man’s deep voice agreed.

Aunt Zhou chuckled and went back into the kitchen to stay busy.

Mo Weiyi sat there eating, mouthful after mouthful. Once she was full, the first thing she said was, “Xiaobai, I need to teach that Lu Qingtian a lesson!”

Xiao Yebai looked at her, “How do you plan on doing that?”

Mo Weiyi thought for a moment.

She was seriously considering it.

Then she said, “You can teach her a lesson for me.”

Xiao Yebai: “…”

“Anyway, it’s because of you,” Mo Weiyi said confidently.

Hiding behind his glasses, his dark eyes narrowed, Xiao Yebai asked, “What do you mean?”

“Who asked you to have her deliver things to me this morning? She sees you’re attractive and is jealous of my beauty, and wants to take revenge on me,” Mo Weiyi stated logically, “So it’s all your fault. Who asked you to be so handsome?”

The corners of the man’s lips curled up, “I understand.”

“You understand? Do you know what to do next time?”

Xiao Yebai grunted, “Next time, I’ll ask older women for help.”
