Chapter 91 My Sister's Cooking Skills

evening,

Bai Yuzhe returned home early. Bai Youqing had texted him earlier that day, saying she had a surprise for him.

Upon opening the door, the lights in the living room were already on.

On the table sat a delicately packaged pink bunny box, which looked like the size of a birthday cake. Next to it were two glass jars of braised beef, thoughtfully labeled as to which one was spicy and which one was non-spicy.

Without even guessing, Bai Yuze knew it was Uncle Li who sent it. Only Uncle Li would send two cans of braised beef on his and Bai Youqing's birthdays.

Upon opening the outer packaging, Bai Yuze found a bag of fruit and a birthday greeting from Li Xuanyu and Uncle Li.

Carrying two cans of beef, he entered the kitchen and immediately saw his sister standing next to the sink.

She had long hair tied in a ponytail, her sleeves rolled up to reveal her fair and translucent wrists, and she wore a plaid apron over her school uniform.

This fully proves what his sister said on her phone: she wanted to give him a surprise.

She was preparing to cook for herself.

For Bai Yuze, this was not a surprise, but a shock. After putting the braised beef in the refrigerator, Bai Yuze turned his head, his face hesitant, and said:

"How about I do it? You've been studying all day, you must be very tired."

"It's okay. I've been learning from the teacher for a long time to prepare for today." Bai Youqing heard footsteps beside her and turned to look at her brother.

A beautiful smile,

He then continued to bend down and pick the vegetable leaves.

Bai Yuzhe didn't want to undermine his sister's confidence, but he also didn't want to go hungry tonight.

"Is there anything I can help you with?"

"no."

"Really not?"

Bai Yuzhe didn't distrust her; it was just that over the years, his younger sister had never lifted a finger in the kitchen.

It's like someone who never plays LoL suddenly going to the competition and telling Faker, "You don't need to play mid lane anymore, just leave it to me." What's the difference?

He was really worried; the meal was for tonight, and the person was leaving tomorrow morning.

"I really don't need your help, you should go and rest."

Bai Youqing didn't even look up, as if washing vegetables was some important task.

That's what he said, but Bai Yuze still didn't leave.

Leaning against the wall, he watched Bai Youqing get busy with great interest.

Since he had nothing better to do, he decided to chat with his sister, Banglao, to try and strengthen their relationship.

"How are your grades this semester?"

"How well do you get along with your classmates at school?"

boom!

It was the sound of a cleaver hitting the cutting board.

Bai Youqing suppressed her anger, "Brother, how much do you not trust my cooking skills?"

"It was my mistake; I didn't trust my own sister."

Seeing his sister's growing rage, Bai Yuzhe decisively lowered his head, admitted his mistake, and left the kitchen.

He put on his sneakers, opened the door, and went downstairs.

He remembered that the downstairs lights had only been replaced recently, but now it was pitch black again. That damned landlord was always trying to take advantage of people.

Inside the residential compound, a group of elderly women and men were carrying heavy stereo speakers.

It seems they are also preparing to embark on a new journey.

Walking into the convenience store outside the residential area, Bai Yuze selected several newly stocked instant noodles, bread, boneless chicken feet, and sugary drinks.

As the saying goes, it's better to be safe than sorry.

Even if his sister messes up the cooking, he'll still have something to eat.

On the way home,

Bai Yuze ran into an acquaintance.

To be precise, she is her younger sister's best friend, Gu Xiaorou.

She wore a purple-blue dress, had medium-length choppy hair with bangs, a slightly chubby face, and her eyes gleamed with nervousness and unease.

A hamster was huddled under the only streetlight outside, shivering, while a little hamster peeked out and cautiously observed what was happening.

The remoteness of the house and the broken lights in the stairwell terrified the little girl.

"Hello, are you Gu Xiaorou?"

Bai Yuze carried the plastic bag and walked to a distance of three or four meters from her, afraid that he might scare her away if he wasn't careful.

"Hello, I am."

His voice was timid and hesitant, with a slight tremor in his words.

Seeing this scene, Bai Yuze suddenly regretted living in this place.

It's fine for me, a grown man, to live here, but what about my sister's social interactions? It seems like moving is going to be on the agenda.

"I'm Bai Youqing's older brother, Bai Yuze. Are you here to play with Bai Youqing?"

Seeing the other party's uneasy appearance, Bai Yuze tried his best to show a kind smile and said.

"Yes, I know you. Xiaoqing told me about you."

Gu Xiaorou looked at Bai Yuze with sparkling eyes, full of curiosity. In Bai Youqing's words, he was the best brother in the world, without exception.

This wasn't her first time visiting Bai Youqing's house; she usually came during the day and hadn't run into Bai Yuze.

The other party is always elusive, appearing only briefly and never returning.

When you meet someone you know,

Gu Xiaorou was no longer so scared and cautiously followed behind Bai Yuze.

My mind was filled with thoughts as I recalled the other person's appearance when we first met. He was handsome and kind, very good-looking, but I always felt that the brother and sister did not look alike.

Could it be a blended family?

Gu Xiaorou kept her questions to herself, as it would be very impolite to ask them aloud.

"Xiaorou, how is Xiaoqing doing at school? Is anyone bullying her or anything?"

Bai Yuzhe usually learns about his younger sister's school situation from her homeroom teacher, such as whether she is an excellent student or not.

He was tired of hearing people say he was always happy to help others; he wanted to hear something different.

Ideally, it should be something like a dark past.

"Being bullied?"

Gu Xiaorou thought about it carefully, then shook her head.

"Xiaoqing has excellent grades at school, is beautiful, and is also very good at fighting. No one dares to bully her."

"So, what's your relationship with Xiaoqing like?"

"It's alright, Xiaoqing often takes me out to play, but since my new deskmate came, it's been much less so." Gu Xiaorou's tone was tinged with bitterness as she spoke.

Bai Yuze gazed at the doorway of their house they were approaching and asked softly, "Does Xiaoqing have a boyfriend in class?"

"Hmm!"

Gu Xiaorou pursed her lips.

She didn't know how to answer that question for a moment.

After a long pause, as if editing the words in his mind, he slowly began to speak, "At the beginning of the semester..."

Other classmates said that Ye Qing seemed to have a crush on Xiao Qing, and the two even studied together for a while. However, something happened later that led to a big fight, and they started to get along very poorly.

"What's up?"

"secret."

Gu Xiaorou giggled, turned her head to face the direction behind him, and called out affectionately, "Xiao Qing!"

Bai Yuze was stunned for a moment.

Without turning his head, he could sense the murderous gaze behind him.

"Xiaorou, you're finally here! I've missed you so much!"

Bai Youqing stood at the door, beckoning to Gu Xiaorou beside Bai Yuzhe, while giving her brother a fierce glare.

Why do all these adults like to ask so many questions about the younger generation's friends?

Wouldn't it be better to ask yourself directly?

Although I might not say it myself.
