Chapter 40: Husband
Li Xuan was about to refuse, but looking at Xiyan's expectant little face, thinking that her appetite has been bad these days, and it is rare for her to have something she wants to eat, so she said, "It's okay." β
"This wonton stall has been around for years." Xi Yan said while helping Li Xuan wipe the stool seriously with a handkerchief. "It was opened by an old couple. In the past, Brother Yunheng and I often came, and their son was still young at that time...... Now I heard that even my grandchildren have ......"
Xi Yan said to herself, not seeing Li Xuan's meaningful look.
"I'm done, you can sit down." She said earnestly.
"Hmm." Li Xuan nodded and sat down. "Why have you been here lately?"
Xi Yan's face flushed, "It's not the recent, I went out with Brother Yunheng last time...... You also saw the ......" and was taught a lesson by him.
"Girl, you're here again!" When the old man saw her, he hurriedly came over to clean up the remaining dishes and chopsticks on the table, and asked without raising his head: "It's still the same as before, right?" β
"Hmm!" Xiyan nodded happily, "No coriander, no green onions!" β
"Okay!" The old man responded loudly, and then asked Li Xuan, "Can the young man eat two bowls this time?" Seeing that the other party didn't answer, he raised his head in surprise, "Hey, I'm sorry, I recognized the wrong person." He looked embarrassedly at the well-dressed young man in front of him, whose face was not good.
"It's okay, it's okay." Xi Yan hurriedly pulled Li Xuan's sleeve and waved his hand at the old man. "What you saw before...... It's my brother, this ......," her cheeks flushed, "and this is my husband." β
"Oh oh oh," the old man woke up like a dream, "no wonder, hehe, it's really a talented woman, a talented woman...... I don't know this ...... What does Childe want to eat? β
"Just like her."
"Oh...... Good! β
"Uncle, put more coriander on him!" Xiyan hurriedly added.
"Okay!"
The old man turned around and went back to Zhang Luo, only to realize that Li Xuan had been staring at her.
"What's wrong?" Xiyan asked a little awkwardly. "Don't you like cilantro?"
"I just think it's funny." Li Xuan smiled. "Why don't you call that at home?"
Xiyan blushed and whispered, "Don't make fun of me, the prince." β
Li Xuan saw that she was shy, so he didn't say more. In just a short time, two bowls of fragrant chicken soup wontons were served. There are more than a dozen large wontons with thin skin in each bowl, one bowl of soup has some seaweed egg shredded shrimp skin floating on it, which is Xiyan's, and the other bowl is also sprinkled with fine green onions and coriander segments, which are Li Xuan's.
"Wow, it smells so good!" Xiyan fanned her hand, took a deep breath through her nose, and said contentedly.
Li Xuan couldn't help but be amused by her expression, and instantly had a little more affection for this ravioli.
Xi Yan hurriedly took out two pairs of chopsticks from the bamboo tube, handed one pair to Li Xuan, and held one pair in his hand, "You can also taste it, it's delicious!" β
Seeing Xiyan's elated expression, he didn't want to ruin her interest, so he took the chopsticks and ate them. The taste of this wonton is really good, Rao is Li Xuan is so picky, he can't help but eat one after another, and the bowl has bottomed out in a blink of an eye.
On the contrary, Xiyan was facing most of the bowl of wontons with a bitter face at this time.5./books/21/21058/
Blessing to the farmer. Li Xuan asked curiously, "Didn't you say you wanted to eat wontons?" Why don't you eat it again? β
Xiyan shook her head, "But I'm too full to eat." β
"How much did you eat?" Li Xuan frowned. "I don't see you eating much these days, but you're not feeling well?"
"No, no." Xiyan hurriedly waved his hand. "It's so hot, I don't have much appetite. Besides......" Xiyan blinked mischievously and said in a voice that only two people could hear, "the old man and the old woman like me, and they give me a lot every time." β
"Really?" Li Xuan looked at her bowl in disbelief.
"Hmm." Xiyan nodded seriously. "Brother Yunheng counted it last time, and it was really more than his."
Li Xuan deliberately ignored the name he didn't want to mention, and just said lightly, "Even so, you still have too little to eat." β
"But I really can't eat it." She looked at his bowl again, "Have you finished eating?" Would you like to add something else? There are other foods to eat here besides ravioli. Yuyan asked flatteringly, trying to distract him.
Li Xuan knew her careful thoughts, and he no longer forced her, so he pushed the boat down the river and said, "I can still eat some more ......"
"Then let's have another bowl of wontons orβ"
Before she finished speaking, Li Xuan had already taken her bowl and ate it.
Xiyan looked at him dumbfounded. But she's already eaten it!
"See what?" Li Xuan raised his head.
"That...... That ......" Xiyan blushed. "This bowl...... I've eaten it" "So? He raised an eyebrow. β¦β¦ You...... Aren't you dirty......"
"Where's the dirty?" Li Xuan asked deliberately.
"That's it...... Well...... Only...... It's ......"
Seeing that she couldn't "just" come out, he asked funny: "Is it saliva?" β
Xiyan nodded awkwardly.
"It's not like I haven't eaten it." He scoffed disapprehantly.
Xiyan couldn't answer at all - why was he so ...... now? She couldn't tell what was different about him, she just knew that he would never do this before. This man is really strange!
When they got home, it was already time to hold the lights. After the family had dinner, Li Xuan went to Ning Ruo's room. Xiyan knew that he wouldn't come over tonight, so he went to bed early after a simple wash. In the past, she would be so sleepy that she couldn't open her eyes if she couldn't read a few pages, but today she still didn't feel sleepy after reading a book. I reluctantly turned off the lights and lay on the bed, tossing and turning and unable to sleep.
Well, she seems to have gotten used to the days when he's around every night. Xi Yan thought to herself, reaching out and pulling out a small rouge box from under her pillow. This is the first time he's given her a gift! Is she still decent today? He must have sensed that she was different from when she was a child, right? Although she wanted this rouge box very much at the time, she still obediently returned it to him, it was he who said he wanted to give it to her, not that she was shameless and begged him to come in vain! He gave it to her on his own initiative! Xiyan gently pasted the rouge box on her cheek, which was cool and comfortable. I really hope that the days to come will be like today......
When she was eating just now, she inadvertently called Li Xuan's name again, but fortunately, only Sister Ning Ruo heard it at that time. I don't know if she is too careful, but she really feels that Ning Ruo's expression has changed slightly...... There is a difference between dignity and inferiority, she will have to pay attention in the future, and she can't be so open-mouthed anymore...... I don't know what he's doing with Sister Ning Ruo now? When he bought jewelry today, he also specially chose one for her, and he was really good to Ning Ruoke...... It's always that good......
Xiyan's consciousness gradually blurred, but she was still clutching her rouge box tightly in her hand......
