“Baby, how can you say we don’t know each other? We clearly do know each other. Look, you even kept my things safe for me.” Pei Xiangxue immediately got angry when he heard Hong Baobao say that she didn’t know him.

Although they weren't exactly close, at least they knew each other.

Hong Baobao glanced at Pei Xiangxue speechlessly and said indifferently, "You know better than anyone why this thing is in my hands."

If he hadn't forcibly handed it to her and turned away without giving her a chance to return it, it would never have ended up in her hands.

Pei Xiangxue looked embarrassed when he heard what Hong Baobao said.

"By the way, do you know me?" Hong Baobao asked again.

If Pei Xiangxue didn't recognize her, he probably wouldn't have handed the item to her.

And now, she has appeared at home.

He also knows his brother, so he should know him too.

But after Hong Baobao said that, Pei Xiangxue denied it, saying, "I don't know you."

Hong Baobao raised an eyebrow and asked, "Then why did you hand the things to me? Aren't you afraid I'll throw them away?"

To be honest, she did intend to throw the ring away; she had even walked right up to the trash can, but she almost did.

"So what if I throw you away? I'll marry you off to me later, so I won't lose out." Pei Xiangxue said, while winking at Hong Baobao.

It's so cringeworthy, that's how Hong Baobao feels.

As for Shen Quan, after listening to a few sentences of Hong Baobao and Pei Xiangxue's conversation, he understood what was going on.

These two people were complete strangers.

At first, he didn't think much of it, but as he listened, Shen Quan heard Pei Xiangxue say something about marrying the baby to him.

Upon hearing this, Shen Quan frowned and warned Pei Xiangxue, "Don't you dare lay a finger on my sister."

Pei Xiangxue awkwardly touched his nose and said to Shen Quan, "We're good friends, we know each other inside and out, wouldn't it be great if I became your brother-in-law?"

Pei Xiangxue thought it was fine.

Shen Quan was unusually serious, saying, "You're not good enough for my sister."

Pei Xiangxue: "..."

That really hurts.

Are they friends? Or are they just frenemy friends?

Upon hearing this, Hong Baobao couldn't help but smile.

"Never mind, I'm not talking to you anymore." After saying this to Shen Quan, Pei Xiangxue turned to Hong Baobao and said, "Baobao, thank you for helping me get this."

When thanking Hong Baobao, Pei Xiangxue was still very serious.

"You're welcome."

When she got home and saw Pei Xiangxue, Hong Baobao felt somewhat relieved. Luckily, she hadn't actually thrown her things away.

After all, he knew his brother.

Judging from the situation, the two of them have a good relationship, so it's best to avoid the possibility that her actions might affect their relationship in the future.

As for Pei Xiangxue, he only ate a bite or two of noodles earlier, and there's still a lot left.

After Pei Xiangxue finished speaking, he continued eating his noodles.

"What is this?" Shen Quan was a rare person who would be curious about anything, but at this moment, he was curious about the box containing the diamond ring.

Upon hearing this, Pei Xiangxue quickly put the diamond ring away.

"It's nothing, just an engagement ring for my girlfriend." Pei Xiangxue's words were a little slurred because he was still eating noodles.

Shen Quan didn't ask any further questions.

At this moment, Shen Quan looked at Hong Baobao and asked, "Baobao, have you eaten? How about I make you a bowl of noodles?"

Hong Baobao had actually already eaten, but the fact that Shen Quan had made it himself was still somewhat tempting for her.

Seeing how much Pei Xiangxue is enjoying his food, I suppose his brother's cooking skills must be excellent.

“Okay, then I’ll trouble you, brother.” Hong Baobao’s tone was somewhat expectant.

She really wanted to try her brother's cooking.

She only found out today that her brother could actually cook.

Neither Hong Baobao nor Shen Quan noticed that Pei Xiangxue paused for a moment when Shen Quan agreed to make Hong Baobao a bowl of noodles.

Pei Xiangxue lowered his head, looking at the few remaining noodles in the bowl, his face showing distress.

In the end, Pei Xiangxue said nothing and continued eating the noodles in his bowl.

Because I had previously made noodles for Pei Xiangxue, all the ingredients were readily available.

A bowl of noodles can be made quite quickly.

Shen Quan's noodles look and smell delicious, and they look very appetizing.

Hong Baobao sniffed the faint scent in the air, then sat down and took a bite.

I thought the noodles would be delicious, but after taking a bite, Hong Baobao realized that they weren't.

Pei Xiangxue had been paying close attention ever since Shen Quan brought the noodles over.

Just then, he saw Hong Baobao take a bite of noodles and almost burst into tears. He held back his laughter for a long time before he managed to suppress it.

After eating it this time, she probably wouldn't dare to eat Shen Quan's noodles again.

Indeed, Hong Baobao felt that eating it once was enough.

She could barely finish this bowl.

The noodles look delicious and look appealing, but why do they taste so bad?

It was salty and sour, with a strange taste that Hong Baobao couldn't quite put her finger on.

Well, in short, it's definitely not delicious.

It was the first time Shen Quan cooked for his younger sister. When Hong Baobao started eating, Shen Quan watched intently.

"How is it? Is it delicious?" Shen Quan asked.

Faced with her older brother's expectant yet nervous expression, Hong Baobao couldn't bring herself to tell the truth, so she simply nodded and said, "Mmm, delicious."

"If you like it, eat more. Your brother will cook for you often in the future."

Pei Xiangxue coughed twice, his shoulders trembling.

Shen Quan thought that Pei Xiangxue was just choked.

But Hong Baobao knew that he was trying not to laugh.

Shen Quan was afraid that Pei Xiangxue would disturb his sister's meal, so he kicked him and said, "Be quiet, and eat slowly. No one is going to take it from you."

Pei Xiangxue: "..."

With a younger sister, there's no longer a brother to be a troublesome friend.

Besides, he knew, of course, that no one would try to take it from him; only he could stomach such terrible noodles.

After Pei Xiangxue finished laughing, he continued eating.

Pei Xiangxue finished eating very quickly.

Watching Hong Baobao, except for the first bite, she ate every subsequent bite with a completely expressionless face.

Pei Xiangxue was somewhat surprised. Could it be that Hong Baobao has no sense of taste?

Otherwise, who could stomach the food that Shen Quan makes?

As for him, the reason he was able to eat it was simply because he was used to it.
