Chapter 404 Time is precious!

On the way back, Lei Jingwu drove, Yao Shula sat in the passenger seat, Yao Shuxin sat in the middle of the back seat, with Yao Shuli and Xiao Tiantian sitting on her left and right sides.

Yao Shuxin was wearing gloves, and there were two insulated containers in front of her, containing steamed buns and braised pig's trotters that Yao Shula had prepared for her.

Yao Shuxin didn't have time to speak. Just now at the airport, she had already eagerly expressed how much she missed her older sister.

Right now, all she wants to do is eat!

The food she'd eaten in North America over the past two years... had made her feel like eating was just a way to survive.

Eating is supposed to be an enjoyable experience...

"Second Sister, have some water, it's warm, just right!" Xiao Tiantian quickly brought the water cup in his hand to Yao Shuxin's lips.

Following Xiaotian's hand, Yao Shuxin quickly took a sip.

Yao Shuli quickly wiped Yao Shuxin's face with the handkerchief in his hand.

"Second sister, eat slowly, have something to fill your stomach first! Brother Jingwu specially booked a table at a private restaurant, let's go there to eat."

"I ordered a lot of delicious food for you!" Yao Shuli whispered to Yao Shuxin.

Yao Shuxin was gnawing on a pig's trotter in her hand. She didn't even have time to speak, she just nodded frantically.

Yao Shula looked at Yao Shuxin with some surprise. The intelligent, beautiful, and rational future female PhD she had just seen at the airport seemed like a figment of her imagination.

She knew that when Liu Zi came back after leaving, he wanted to eat Chinese food, but Yao Shuxin's reaction still surprised her a little.

"Shuxin, didn't you say there was a Chinese restaurant near your school? What happened?" Yao Shula looked at Yao Shuxin and felt a little sorry for her.

Yao Shuxin chewed the pig's trotter in her mouth and swallowed it before speaking.

"It's called a Chinese restaurant, but actually... Sister, I don't even want to talk about it anymore!"

Not only are the dumplings dry, but they also come with ketchup! In China, dumplings are usually eaten with alcohol, or with garlic, and then a bowl of dumpling soup!

I've never seen dumplings with ketchup before.

Yao Shula...

Dumplings with ketchup... I've never seen that before!

Yao Shuli and Xiao Tiantian also gaped, wondering what dumplings with ketchup would taste like...

"Second sister, is it filled with chives and pork?" Xiao Tiantian asked curiously.

“It could also be pork and scallion filling!” Yao Shuli said confidently.

Yao Shula: "Shuxin, why did you say on the phone that the Chinese restaurant near the school was pretty good?"

Yao Shuxin chuckled and picked up another steamed bun.

"Isn't that because I didn't want you to worry? If you knew I wasn't eating well outside, you wouldn't be able to sleep!"

Sister, let me tell you, the first month after I arrived there was the hardest time for me. It wasn't the studies that were difficult, but the food!

I miss your cooking so much. Every time I eat bread, I think about the food you make for us.

To put it bluntly, when I was doing experiments and dissecting rabbits, all I could think about was braised rabbit legs!

"But now it's all good. I've completely adapted to the state where eating is all about living. I'm sure I can get through the next three years smoothly," Yao Shuxin said confidently.

Yao Shula...

She knew that Liuzi wasn't used to eating out, but she really didn't know she would be this uncomfortable.

"Don't worry! Your sister has already filled the fridge to the brim, just waiting to make you all sorts of delicious food!"

However, we'll still eat out for lunch to welcome you back!

...

Yao Shuxin enjoyed a sumptuous meal.

Even Yao Shuli, who has a big appetite and is still growing, looked at her thin second sister in surprise.

Good heavens, my second sister ate almost twice the amount I would have eaten in two meals.

Everyone at the table, starting with Yao Shula, including Lei Jingwu, Xiao Tiantian, Yao Shuli, and Gu Xiaoman, was serving Yao Shuxin food and peeling shrimp.

Yao Shuxin didn't mince words, and smiled at everyone while stuffing food into her mouth.

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief only after Yao Shuxin burped.

"Shuxin, would you like to order two more dishes?" Lei Jingwu asked, looking at the table where the food was almost gone.

Yao Shuxin quickly waved her hand.

"No need, I'm full! My older sister can just cook something simple when I get home tonight! Ahhh! It's so good to be home! Everything is so nice!" Yao Shuxin had a satisfied smile on her face.

Yao Shula quickly and gently patted Yao Shuxin's back.

"It's okay, you can eat whatever you want, I'll make it for you!"

Yao Shuxin nodded and then told her about her plans for the next few days.

She wanted to go back to school to see her teachers and a few classmates who were staying on to pursue graduate studies.

...

When they went to bed at night, Yao Shuxin still slept in the same room as Yao Shula. Yao Shula had made two separate beds, but Yao Shuxin insisted on sharing a bed with her sister.

"Sis, let's sleep together like we did when we were little, it's warmer that way! I've already warmed up the blankets." Yao Shuxin moved to the side.

Yao Shula laughed and quickly crawled under the covers as well.

Yao Shuxin hugged Yao Shula's arm and let out a long sigh of relief.

"The bed at home is comfortable! It's even better with my sister around!"

"Alright, you're still the same as when you were little! Come on, tell your sister how you've been these past two years. Is there anything you're hiding from your sister?" Yao Shuli reached out and touched Yao Shuxin's hair.

Yao Shuxin quickly looked up, her face full of smiles.

"Apart from the food not being good, everything else is fine! There's nothing I'm hiding from my sister."

Oh, sister, let me tell you, I'm the only student in the class who got straight A's. None of those blondes and blue-eyed girls can compare to me.

"And some boys even want to pursue me! But I told you, I don't want to waste my time. I'm going out to study and learn, not to date," Yao Shuxin said smugly.

Yao Shula was not surprised at all.

Yao Shuxin was already quite good-looking. She was a bit reserved when she was in school, but now she's not reserved at all. She's outgoing and confident, so how could she not have suitors?

“This is your own business, but one thing is for sure: protect yourself! You can definitely make your own decisions about other things; you're an adult now!” Yao Shula said with a smile.

Yao Shuxin hummed in agreement and leaned closer to Yao Shula.

Feeling her sister's warmth, Yao Shuxin felt extremely happy!

The two sisters stood side by side, and even without saying a word, they could feel the comforting scent in the air.

"Sister, I know what you mean by not wasting time!" Yao Shuxin suddenly said.

Yao Shula...

"When did I say that?" Yao Shula couldn't remember for a moment.

Yao Shuxin turned over and rested her head on the pillow.

"When we were little! Back then, we were still in Yun County. Yao Guohua didn't want us anymore, and I hated him so much back then! You were saying that back then!"

You're right, time is precious, and we shouldn't waste it on irrelevant people!

Yao Shula looked at Yao Shuxin in surprise.

When Yao Shuxin said those words, she must have truly forgotten about that person!
