In the morning, there were people walking on the streets of the city, which was not like the two or three years ago when the city was affected by the fighting. The main streets of Jincheng were five horizontal and five vertical, with various small streets and lanes interspersed. When they came out, many stores had just taken down their doors, and the restaurants that served food had not yet opened.
Chen Xiao was not looking for a big store this time, he went to the side streets. His nose followed the smell like a radar and he found a breakfast stall at the corner of the street.
This small street is across from a main road, and many big shops have their back doors here. The porters and waiters who unload goods are a large group of diners, and the business of the snack shops at the corner of the street is not as hot as this stall.
Chen Xiao had sharp eyes. Just then, four people stood up. He subconsciously reached out and held Xi Yunting's hand, then walked quickly to the table.
"Waiter, clean up the table." Chen Xiao let go of his hand and sat down neatly on the bench. He turned around and saw Xi Yunting paused before sitting next to him. Chen Xiao thought for a moment and said embarrassedly, "Brother, is this your first time to come to this kind of street stall? Don't underestimate this kind of stall. In fact, many of them are made with exquisite craftsmanship. The food they make is usually local specialties and delicious. You can tell from the business of this store that the taste is not bad."
The waiter came over to clean up the table and smiled when he heard what he said, "Your Excellency is right. My family has been doing this business for 30 years. My grandfather passed it on to my father, and my father passed it on to his son. Now the shop owner is already the third generation. If I hadn't been reluctant to leave the old neighbors on this street, I would have rented a shop and moved out long ago."
Chen Xiao smiled and said, "What special dishes do you recommend? Don't worry, tell me all of them."
The waiter said, "Our shredded chicken noodles, fresh meat noodles, and assorted noodles are almost must-orders for every customer. In addition, we have dumplings with various fillings, including winter bamboo shoots, fresh mushrooms, three fresh fillings, fresh meat filling..." The dumplings seemed to be the main product of this restaurant, and the waiter listed eight or nine kinds of fillings in one breath.
Chen Xiao said, "Give me a bowl of shredded chicken noodles, and a tray of bamboo shoots and fresh meat stuffed buns." Then he turned to Xi Yunting and asked, "What do you want to eat, big brother?"
Xi Yunting said: "Assorted noodles and a tray of mushroom buns."
"Okay, sir, please wait a moment."
After a while, the hot noodles and buns were served on the table. Chen Xiao was immediately hungry when he saw them. The chef was very skilled, and the thin noodles were rolled into a ball and floated in the large and deep bowl. The soup was golden in color, dotted with emerald green onions, and the fresh and fragrant smell filled his nose.
Chen Xiao tilted his head and looked. Xi Yunting's bowl was almost the same, except that the soup was amber in color, and it was topped with red carrots, yellow bean sprouts, and green side dishes, which made it even more colorful, fragrant, and delicious. This visual effect alone created a great impact, making people's appetites run wild.
Look at the buns in the steamer, they are neither too big nor too small, white and plump. The dough is very chewy, fragrant and sweet. The filling is very filling, and the thick juice flows out when you take a bite. It is so delicious that you can't bear to put it in your mouth even if it is hot, and you put it in your mouth while inhaling.
As expected, it is a three-generation old craft that has not moved for thirty years. The taste made Chen Xiao feel it was a pity to eat only one portion, so after finishing a bowl of noodles and two trays of buns, he ordered another portion of Xi Yunting's.
"It's delicious." Chen Xiao said with satisfaction, "Now I feel that it's great to be able to practice, and I eat more than before."
Xi Yunting didn't know whether to laugh or cry when he heard this. Others seek immortality, either for immortality or to increase their strength. This was the first time he had seen Xiaodi being so happy just to have a few more bites. But thinking about it, it was indeed very much like Xiaodi's style.
"Hmm." Chen Xiao took a bite of the bun and chewed it with his cheeks bulging. Just by watching him eat and enjoying the delicious food, it seemed as if he could empathize with his satisfaction and happiness. Xi Yunting couldn't help but be aroused by him and ordered another bowl of noodles.
Chen Xiao gave him a thumbs up and said, "If it's so delicious, you should eat more, so as not to let down a cultivator's appetite."
Xi Yunting laughed softly, and Chen Xiao was stunned. This was the first time he heard Xi Yunting laugh out loud. His voice was low and his laughter was slightly bass-like, and every laugh seemed to hit the eardrum, and Chen Xiao felt half of his body numb.
Xi Yunting's mood usually doesn't fluctuate much, and his expression doesn't change much either. He only smiles a faint smile. It's very rare to see a smile with eyebrows and eyes curved, lips curled up, and white teeth faintly visible. He is handsome and masculine, but his smile makes people feel like sunshine that clears the haze, comfortable and warm.
Chen Xiao even stopped moving his mouth. Xi Yunting realized something, and he coughed lightly, his smile faded. Chen Xiao swallowed the bun in his mouth and said regretfully, "Brother, you should smile more. You look more lively when you smile. And smiling more is good for your body and has great benefits for your body and mind."
Xi Yunting was actually a little embarrassed. His eyes flickered slightly and he said, "This is the first time I've heard of it."
Chen Xiao said seriously: "Hey, brother, don't you know that laughing can exercise your abdominal muscles and lung strength." After saying that, Chen Xiao was amused and laughed.
Xi Yunting looked at him helplessly, his eyes were particularly gentle: "Naughty."
At the end of breakfast, Chen Xiao stroked his swollen stomach and said regretfully: "I really can't eat any more..."
Xi Yunting was at a loss as to what to do with him, so he could only say, "If you want to eat, I'll come with you tomorrow. There's no need to do this."
Chen Xiao immediately said, "It's agreed that we'll come back tomorrow to try the flavors we didn't try today."
Chen Xiao asked the waiter to settle the bill, and the two prepared to leave. When they stood up, they could clearly see that Chen Xiao's waist and abdomen had an arc, which looked tight, while Xi Yunting's belly was flat. Chen Xiao didn't know what he was thinking, he reached out and touched Xi Yunting's lower abdomen.
Xi Yunting's abdominal muscles trembled sensitively, and he resisted the urge to dodge, looking at Chen Xiao in surprise. Chen Xiao's face was no less surprised than his, and he said in surprise: "Ah, no wonder it doesn't show after eating. Big brother doesn't look like he has much meat, but he actually has abdominal muscles!" Not only did he touch it, he also grabbed a handful of it. The tight muscles in Xi Yunting's abdomen were like a piece of iron holding a flannel, flexible on the surface and hard on the inside. This made Chen Xiao look envious: "I wonder when I can cultivate a good figure like big brother."
The hand seemed to have magic power. With his light touch and movement, the strange feeling was reflected from the abdomen to the waist and back, and then rushed to the top of the head along the Dazhui. Waves of numbing sensations exploded into balls of white light in Xi Yunting's mind. Unprecedented stimulation and comfort flowed back to his body with the blood, making his muscles tense and almost trembling.
Xi Yunting didn't dare to let Chen Xiao go on so he raised his hand and held Chen Xiao's hand. He was afraid that his heartbeat would be noticed by Xiaodi, so even though he was very reluctant to let this excitement go, he still firmly moved his unruly claws away.
"Brother Xiao." He called out, and when Chen Xiao looked up at him, he said, "As long as you keep training, you will naturally build muscles."
His tense face made his expression and voice a little stiff. Chen Xiao immediately realized that his actions were reckless. He apologized immediately: "Sorry, big brother, I shouldn't have touched you so carelessly." This was not the environment of casual play and physical contact in the previous life. With the personality of big brother, he would probably find him offensive, right? "It's all my fault. I ate too much and my brain was confused. Please forgive my offense."
The actions of both of them attracted the attention of the people around them. Xi Yunting let go of Chen Xiao's hand and said softly: "It's okay, just be careful about the occasion in the future."
Chen Xiao was only concerned with regret and reflection, and didn't realize the mystery behind Xi Yunting's words. He was in a low mood and walked silently beside Xi Yunting without saying a word.
Xi Yunting glanced at him, his heart full of words wanting to comfort him but he didn't know how to say them.
How could he tell Xiaodi that he not only didn't mind his offense at all, but on the contrary, he enjoyed it? His heart was beating like a drum, his mouth was tight, and his blood was boiling. At that moment, if it wasn't for the wrong occasion, if it wasn't for his personality, Xi Yunting would probably have been looking forward to removing the thin clothes and touching their skin directly.
That feeling reminded Xi Yunting of the uncontrollable actions he had done to his sleeping brother Xiao in the leeward valley. Today's feeling was even more exciting than that time.
After his thoughts wandered for a while, Xi Yunting came back to his senses and felt self-loathing again. Xiaodi had no intention of offending him, he was just curious and naughty. How shameless and filthy he was to have such a lustful thought.
The fading heaviness weighed on his heart once again, causing his chest to ache, as if he had an incurable disease.
The atmosphere was obviously good, but he ruined it. Chen Xiao secretly glanced at Xi Yunting's cold and solemn expression, and felt even more depressed.
Although he was just playing around when he touched her, he didn't mean to test her. Now that he thought about it, Xi Yunting's reaction indirectly showed that he didn't like physical contact from the same sex. This was like a bucket of cold water poured on Chen Xiao's head, which made him completely lose some unspeakable thoughts in his heart. Well, he should be a good brother in the future and be careful not to cross the line and make his elder brother unhappy.
Although he thought so, Chen Xiao still felt indescribably lost and heavy in his heart, and there was always a lingering discomfort. This made him vaguely realize that Xi Yunting's position in his heart had changed a little. But he didn't dare to reveal it or think deeply about it, fearing that his feelings would have nowhere to go, which would be even more pathetic.
Chen Xiao didn't dare to touch that dangerous idea again, and the invisible foodie deliberately shifted his focus to the breakfast he had just eaten. After savoring it, he unconsciously looked at Xi Yunting's still somewhat cold face. He had provoked the other party and made him angry. Would the eldest brother still fulfill the promise tomorrow and come out for breakfast together?
