"Well, since he's still scared when it's pointed out, that proves he's not completely corrupted."
Bai Xiaoqian's father grinned and said, "That's perfect, then finish your homework here, play a few games, and then stay here for dinner!"
"Dinner?" When Tan Xing heard the word, Chu Shangli felt his eyes light up: "Can I stay here for dinner?"
"Well, no problem." Bai Xiaoqian's mother said softly and nodded.
"Then—just sit for a while..."
"Hey, hey, you—" Qiu Feishuang said with disdain: "Are you serious? You were obviously a little disgusted just now, but after hearing the word 'dinner', you suddenly don't dislike it anymore?"
"No, it's not that I dislike you, I'm just not used to it. But if you can treat me to a meal, then no matter how strange your words and actions are, you must be a good person! Hmm, hmm."
"What if there's poison in the food?" Feng Ruye whispered in a threatening tone.
"It doesn't matter if it's poisonous." Tan Xing raised his eyes and said firmly, "Even if it's rat poison soup, it doesn't matter. The most important thing is—yes, the most important thing is that it's 'food'."
Bai Xiaoqian's father raised the corner of his lips, Chu Shangli stared at Bai Xiaoqian's father's eyes——
There was a look in those eyes that seemed to be scrutinizing.
Those eyes, which were naturally a little blue, but were pure black upon closer inspection, now seemed to have turned into a mirror.
A mirror that can see into the human soul.
It probably only lasted for two or three seconds before Bai Xiaoqian's father immediately revealed his youthful innocence again.
"Yeah, isn't there a saying that 'once you eat a meal, you're family'? So, if we can sit down and eat together, we become family—"
Chu Shangli's first reaction was to think of that somewhat sad legend - but, Bai Xiaoqian's father probably didn't tell that story.
Besides, the subject matter is subtly different.
Under Bai Xiaoqian's guidance, Chu Shangli and the others were led into a greenhouse full of roses.
Flowers bloomed brilliantly everywhere—but they were all white—
In the center of the flower shed stood a pure white table.
The light that keeps the flowers blooming is also warm white.
The ground is paved with pure white bricks and stones, with white fine sand on both sides.
If Bai Xiaoqian were to describe her true feelings, it would probably be that the colors were too monotonous—
Although the flowers are blooming and growing well, this place looks like a hospital ward.
"They are all - white." Chu Shangli whispered.
"Well, because my mother likes white." Bai Xiaoqian answered frankly.
Bai Xiaoqian's mother likes white - but she can't see, right?
Chu Shangli originally wanted to ask this question, but quickly swallowed it down.
Precisely because she can't see, she plants her favorite colors everywhere without any deception. This is true loyalty.
"Don't you find it irritating, Xiaoqian?"
"Not really." Bai Xiaoqian shook her head and smiled, "Although my favorite color is not white, I also like white--"
"Is that... true?"
Chu Shangli looked around and it seemed that he was the only one who couldn't open his eyes because of the pure white.
Perhaps it was because she preferred bright and colorful things by nature, so she didn't feel comfortable with such monotony.
Chu Shangli suddenly realized that it was not surprising that roses were white, but were rose vines also white?
How should we take in nutrition in this way?
