Chapter 17 (5)
"It's time to eat, Xiao Tao came over to help me serve the food!"
I put the fried chicken cartilage in the pot on the plate as a side dish to eat with the hot pot, I don't know if Sydney likes to eat it or not, but at least in my heart, Xiao Tao likes to eat this, but because the calories are too high, I can only make it for her occasionally.
"Here comes my brother." Xiao Tao answered and opened the kitchen door, but she didn't know why she looked unhappy.
It's almost time to get rid of her anger when she doesn't let her cook.
Xiao Tao dragged the plate with one hand, pointed at one of my fingers, and suddenly asked in a panic:
"Brother, what's wrong with your hand!" Xiao Tao happened to see my hand as she took the plate.
"Oh, you say this?" I held up that finger and smiled disappreciatively at Xiao Tao and said:
"I accidentally got caught when I was steaming the crab, and I didn't expect its pincers to be quite powerful."
"Does it hurt?" Xiao Tao put the plate on the board next to me anyway, stood on tiptoe and blew my wound in distress.
"Thank you, little peach, it doesn't hurt anymore." I gently placed my free hand on top of my sister's head and gently caressed and comforted her.
I thought their claws were just ornaments, but I didn't expect them to have so much power after untying the bands, but if they were not untied and put them in the steamer like that, the crabs would be contaminated with the chemical toxins produced by the high temperature of the bands, so I had to loosen them at the risk of being pincered. But it really hurts, there were traces of blood oozing out at the time, but fortunately I didn't let Xiao Tao into the kitchen, if Xiao Tao was accidentally caught I would definitely want these crabs to look good.
"You're lying, and lo and behold, your wounds are bleeding again!" Xiao Tao said in a panic.
I followed her gaze, and sure enough, the wound was bleeding again, and the flow was so slow that I didn't even notice it.
"Brother, you just keep this action and wait for me, don't move! It's like we're playing 'We're all wooden', okay? After Xiao Tao said eagerly, he turned around and left the kitchen, leaving me alone in the kitchen in front of the wooden man.
"Really, Xiao Tao's guy is too fussful, but this time let's follow her, this is also Xiao Tao's kindness." I thought so to myself.
Little Peach ran back to her room in a hurry, and when she passed by the living room, Sydney looked at the panicked Little Peach and asked strangely:
"What's wrong, little peach sister? Is something wrong? ”
"Don't make a move, I'll deal with it!" Xiao Tao's footsteps didn't even stop, just threw out this sentence.
"Hey! Tell me what's the matter! Sydney protested quietly, and then suddenly thought:
"Sister Peach came out of the kitchen, but isn't there only one person in the kitchen? Could it be that something happened to Mr. Hikari? ”
Sydney naturally couldn't sit idly by when she thought of this, and she said to herself:
"Sister Xiao Tao just said don't let her make a move, but she didn't say that she can't go into the kitchen, in that case, I will go to the kitchen to see what happened?"
Sydney came to the kitchen door with a reserved pace a little faster than usual, and said:
"Sorry Hikari, bother."
It's a pity that I'm still playing the role of the wooden man, and I can't respond to Sydney.
"Dodge, dodge, dodge!" Little Peach walked sideways from Sydney's side through the kitchen door to me.
"Okay brother, it's game over." Xiao Tao has a band-aid in her hand, and only a slipper is left on her foot.
"First of all, it has to be disinfected first." Xiao Tao said to me seriously.
Xiao Tao picked up my finger and carefully sucked it in her mouth, faintly feeling Xiao Tao's soft tongue skimming my wound from time to time.
"Little Peach, you ......"
"It's what my brother said before! If the wound is bleeding, you can disinfect it with saliva if there is really no way! ”
"That's what I said, but now isn't the time to be at the end of the road!"
"Shut up, it's noisy!" Xiao Tao said vaguely.
Sydney stared at the scene in front of her at the door and didn't say anything, silently returned to the living room and sat on the sofa, not knowing what she was thinking, or maybe she didn't think about anything.
Finally, Momo let go of my finger and carefully applied the band-aid to the wound on my finger.
"Okay, that's it, that's fine!" Xiao Tao happily announced and added:
"Don't take it down just yet, it'll be fine tomorrow."
After a long toss, all the dishes are finally brought to the table, and the bottom of the seafood pot is boiled in a cassette oven, exuding the attractive umami unique to seafood.
"Little Peach, is it okay to drink peach juice?" I took out the peach juice I bought at the supermarket and asked for Peach's opinion.
"No need, I'll just drink tea, didn't the tea only be brewed once in the morning?"
"Then I'll brew it."
"No, I'll do it."
Sydney came to visit Xiao Tao today, and it turned out that she would be so diligent, as if she was swearing her status.
"Oops, my clothes are still on the balcony and haven't been brought in." I slapped my head and thought about it.
"Then I'll help you collect your clothes."
"Well, thank you, thank you."
Sydney came to my room to help me put away my clothes and put them on my bed for the time being, and then we walked out of the room together.
"Brother, what are you doing in the room?"
As soon as I arrived in the living room, I was greeted by Xiao Tao's questioning.
"It's nothing, it's just that Sydney helps me collect my clothes." I'll be honest.
"Is that really all there is to it?" Xiao Tao was skeptical of my words.
"It's true, we didn't do anything." Sydney said suddenly.
"I always feel uncomfortable, but forget it." Xiao Tao stopped questioning, and then poured us a cup of black tea.
"Does Sydney drink pu-erh or juice? Don't force it. "I asked Sydney if she liked Pu'er tea with a slightly bitter taste before Little Peach poured tea for Sydney, and if she didn't like it, there was juice here.
"Shh Xiao Tao smacked her tongue very quietly to express her dissatisfaction.
"It's okay, it's not bad to change the flavor once in a while, thank you Xiao Tao!" Sydney took the tea that Xiao Tao poured for her, blew the hot air, and took a sip of the tea carefully and elegantly.
"Ahem!" Sydney then choked on the tea, because the tea made by Xiao Tao was too strong.
"Sydney, you don't have to force it." I quickly took out a disposable paper cup and poured a glass of juice for Sydney.
"I'm sorry for the trouble." Sydney took a sip of juice and said to me apologetically.
"It's okay, but I hope you don't blame Xiao Tao, she didn't mean to soak it so strongly."
"How can you blame something...... "Sydney looked at Xiao Tao gently and said:
"Since Xiao Tao is the younger sister of the light, I will also love her as my own sister."
Little Peach shivered hard and leaned closer to me.
"Hahaha, come and eat crabs, it's not delicious when it's cold." I could see that Peach's mood was continuing to fall, so I quickly took out the crabs in the steamer and distributed them to them.
A pike crab is bigger than the palm of our hand.
"Oops, I forgot the ingredients I made in the kitchen, I'll go to the kitchen to get them later."
Of course, to eat crabs, you should dip them in vinegar with ginger shreds to eat, although crabs are nutritious but cold, and Xiao Tao happens to be a cold physique, if you don't use ginger to disperse the cold, it may cause a lot of damage to Xiao Tao's body.
When Xiao Tao saw her brother enter the kitchen, she hurriedly warned Sydney:
"I will never give my brother to you, absolutely not!" Xiao Tao looked into Sydney's eyes and couldn't help but sit in my seat to express her determination.
"Why? It's like I'm a bad person. Sydney asked with some grievances.
"Because I only have one friend, my brother, don't even think about taking him away from me!"
"Really? But where was Sister Peach when I had dinner with him at noon today? Sydney didn't tell Peach's lies bitterly, but asked questions implicitly.
"I'll ...... at noon," Momo didn't know how to answer.
"When you talk to me at noon, you keep showing a lonely look."
Xiao Tao's heart hurt violently as if she was being held hard, and she began to reflect on whether she had gradually stopped needing her brother's company since she had made friends. This kind of thing...... I don't need my brother anymore, and I don't want my brother to have his own friends...... Everything seems to be too selfish.
"Don't worry, I'll take care of the light and won't betray him."
"No way!"
"So you're going to let him spend the whole of high school bored?"
"I don't want to ...... But I'll be admitted to that high school to accompany my brother. ”
"I can't be in the same class with him, but I can do it."
"That's not going to work either!"
"Then do you want Hikari to be chased by other girls? Circumstances that none of us know? ”
Xiao Tao was silent, compared to other girls Sydney, she is the most considerate girl she knows so far, and she exudes a noble aura and seems to have a lonely past.
"Huh? When did your relationship get so good? I came out of the kitchen with the spices, and I was a little surprised to see that Xiao Tao was talking to Sydney.
"Ah...... No, I ......" Little Peach didn't know how to answer.
"Well, Xiao Tao is like my sister, so it's supposed to be good!" Sydney smiled and gave Xiao Tao a voice, and then whispered in Xiao Tao's ear:
"Little Sister Peach, you're thinking about it, well, even if you oppose it, I'll make a move on the light."
Xiao Tao choked on her own saliva and coughed violently.
"Hey Peach, are you okay?" I looked at Peach in amazement, not understanding what was going on.
"Nothing brother...... I am fine. Xiao Tao took out a tissue to wipe the corners of her mouth, and said to me reluctantly.
"yes, that's good."
Since Xiao Tao himself said that it was okay, then it was really nothing.
