Wei Mingshen took a bite of the bun and exclaimed, "Hmm, the taste is no worse than that of the pan-fried bun shop."

Mentioning that pan-fried bun shop, Su Xueli immediately thought of the girl who was infatuated with him, and couldn't help but chuckle.

I asked him, "Did you go to that pan-fried dumpling shop to see Jiao Li again?"

Wei Mingshen turned his face away: "Don't talk nonsense, why would I look at her? I'd rather avoid her than not look at her. Oh right, you handled the last matter very well. That time I went to her shop with a few people to eat fried buns, she didn't even look at me."

Su Xueli laughed so hard she could barely hold her spoon.

Wei Mingshen stared at her suspiciously and concluded, "You must have said something nice about me to make her give up on me."

Su Xueli retorted, "Do you want her to keep sending you handkerchiefs?"

Wei Mingshen waved his hand: "Alright, alright, let's leave this topic at that."

The noodles were cooked and eaten right there at the small table in the kitchen.

Su Xueli served three bowls, and of course, she served a small bowl for Xiaodoudou. She broke the fried dough into pieces and put them into his noodle bowl so that he could heat them up before eating.

The three of them were eating noodles around the table when Little Bean's eyes suddenly fixed on the colorful little figures outside. She dropped her bowl and chopsticks and ran out, picked up a Sun Wukong figure and laughed heartily. Then she picked up Pigsy and Tang Sanzang, and couldn't put them down.

Su Xueli smiled and said, "Dou Dou, come and eat. You can choose whatever you want later."

"Really, Auntie!" Little Bean came running back, jumping for joy.

"Auntie, can I have this?" he asked, holding a Sun Wukong figure in both hands.

Su Xueli said kindly, "Sure, you can take this one, and you can also pick another one you like."

"Ah, okay, okay, hehehe..." He laughed so hard he sat on the ground rubbing his little feet.

Su Xueli and Zhou Mingtao were infected by the laughter and exchanged a glance before laughing as well.

Su Xueli pointed to his small bowl, "Dou Dou, stop playing and come eat. Your tummy will hurt if you eat cold food."

He then stood up, ran to the dining table, picked up the small bowl, and started shoveling noodles into his mouth. His eating manner stunned Su Xueli; he was practically shoveling food down his throat. He finished the bowl of noodles and a piece of fried dough in no time.

After finishing eating, he picked up the Sun Wukong toy and said, "Auntie, I'm leaving now, can you give me another one?"

Su Xueli said, "Didn't Auntie say you can choose for yourself?"

Wei Mingshen stood up and said, "I'll pick one for him. There's a paint that was applied with a slight flaw just now, so let the child take it and play with it."

Su Xueli said, "Okay."

Wei Mingshen took his hand and led him to the patch of little figures drying in the sun. He picked up the flawed Pigsy and said, "Little friend, Pigsy and Monkey King look best together. Take these two and play with them."

Little Bean happily took it, hugged it and ran off, but stopped halfway and said to Wei Mingshen, "My mom said I'm going to school soon, and I need to be polite. If someone gives me something, I should say thank you. Thank you, Uncle."

Wei Mingshen immediately beamed and said loudly, "Hey, hey, uncle, no need to thank me."

"Little Bean, come play again, Uncle likes you." He even opened the courtyard gate for Little Bean with great enthusiasm.

Su Xueli: "..."

He returned with a beaming smile, and Su Xueli asked him, "Does it feel good to get a good deal?"

Wei Mingshen immediately sat up straight and asked innocently, "Who did I take advantage of? How could I refuse when the child calls me uncle? Wouldn't that hurt the child's feelings?"

Haha, that sounds so high-sounding.

Okay, she decided not to argue with him about it, to avoid further conflict.

She said, "Hurry up and finish your meal so I can clean up the dishes."

Wei Mingshen quickly finished his noodles and soup, then stood up and said, "I need to sleep for a while before I get back to work."

This is troublesome! Su Xueli immediately called out to him, "Don't you dare sleep in my bed!"
