Chapter 124: One Mouth At A Time

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Eh… so disgusting.

Rong Yan’s face instantly stopped burning. When he looked up again, he had already regained his usual calmness.

Xiaoxiao didn’t want to lower her seniority again and find herself a “big brother”. She said seriously, “I think he might not like this nickname. Moreover, his family’s situation is special. If I call him that, others might mistakenly think that I’m interested in him.”

Madam Song and Ning Fengnian were unwilling to let others think that their daughter wanted to climb up the social ladder, so they gave up on this thought. Anyway, Tianci looked innocent and childish, and he was not much different from Xiaoxiao. They would just call him that.

It was time to eat. Everyone went to the kitchen to serve the dishes. Rong Yan’s emotions had fluctuated and he was helping to clear the table as he calmed down. At this moment, he heard Xiaoxiao ask softly in his ear, “1 forgot to ask you. Do you not like the title of ‘Little Big Brother Ah Yan’?”

Rong Yan felt that the heat that had finally subsided was about to rise again. Xiaoxiao scratched her head. “If you don’t like it…” 1 can change it.

Rong Yan moved his lips. “No, I’m fine with it.”

He was sitting and Xiaoxiao was standing, so she happened to see Rong Yan’s red ears. Xiaoxiao touched her chin, feeling very surprised. Was Little Big Brother… shy?

Unable to suppress the naughtiness in her heart, Xiaoxiao held back her laughter and called out again, “Little Big Brother Ah Yan?”

Ah, his ears turned even redder! It was so fun!

Rong Yan did not know that he had been tricked. He only felt that this girl was getting more and more arrogant because of his favor. He had only agreed to be her address. Was there a need to be so happy?

However, on second thought, he felt that she was so happy just by him responding.

Xiaoxiao heard her Little Big Brother, whose ears were about to bleed, reply softly again, “Mm.”

Oh my god, he was so cute and fun. She really wanted to continue teasing him!

Xiaoxiao had really spent a lot of effort to find her integrity and focus on setting the table. Rong Yan did not eat much. For a moment, he thought of “Little Big Brother Ah Yan” with all kinds of intonations. Then, he thought of what Ning Xiaoxiao said about “mistaking that I’m interested in him”. So was she deliberately showing him that she did not have any other intentions towards Shen Tianci?

After dinner, Xiaoxiao asked again, “Are you going to Shen Tianci’s birthday?”

Rong Yan asked, “Where?” This meant that he agreed. Although she felt that Little Big Brother was a little awkward, Xiaoxiao still told him the address. “Shall we leave together then?”

“Together” was another word he was unfamiliar with.

That night, it was a little difficult for Rong Yan to fall asleep because he seemed to hear “Little Big Brother Ah Yan” ringing in his ears. However, the Ning Family fell asleep very quickly because they were tired. The new puppy lay in Xiaoxiao’s room and slept soundly.

When he woke up in the morning, Rong Yan had just turned over when Yun Yi knocked on the door. “Master, you’re up?”

Rong Yan replied with a “yes” and the outside quietened down. When he finished washing up and saw the breakfast Yun Yi sent over, he knew that it was definitely not their cooking. As expected, Yun Yi said the next moment, “Miss Ning made this breakfast for you. Do you want to eat it now?”

Miss Ning said that it was tiring for them to go out hunting and they did not eat last night, so breakfast was prepared for them. It could be considered a welcome meal. The guards felt that Miss Ning was simply a Bodhisattva who saved the hardships. They wanted to scream with every bite.

Xiaoxiao respected the different habits of the families. Rong Yan’s family rules were that there was a difference in status, so she wouldn’t force them to accept that everyone was equal. Hence, the breakfast she gave Rong Yan was different from the guards.

The guards were each given two small soup dumplings, two vegetable buns, and a bowl of lean meat porridge. It warmed their stomachs and hearts.

Rong Yan’s appetite was not as big as theirs, and it was obvious that he was an exquisite person. Xiaoxiao had prepared a bowl of chicken soup noodles for him. Last night, she used the pheasant he gave her to make a big pot of soup. Today, she used it as the noodles’s soup. There were emerald green vegetables and two poached eggs in the noodles. She heard that Rong Yan had woken up and the noodles were still chewy when she brought them over.

Other than the noodles, Xiaoxiao also gave him an exquisite bamboo steamer. Rong Yan opened it curiously and saw six translucent “shells” lying inside the steam. The pink shrimp-green vegetables with red carrots in the “shells” could be seen vaguely. There was also a small plate of Ning Xiaoxiao’s special sauce beside the steamer.

With just one look, he felt hungry.

Yun Yi said, “Miss Ning said that this is called crystal prawn dumplings.” He did some calculations. There were six crystal prawn dumplings. There were a total of five people in their courtyard, excluding the secret guards that could not be seen. If Master could not finish them, they might be able to try one.

Then, he saw Rong Yan eat them one by one.

Yun Yi:… Envious, the kind that wants to cry..
