Chapter 848 High Energy Throughout
Xiao Yuti was unaware of what had happened before. When she saw Feng Tianyu carrying a tied-up rabbit, she subconsciously assumed that Feng Tianyu had come to visit and brought his own food.
"Tianyu, you want to eat rabbit meat today? This rabbit is still alive, right? It might be too late to process it now. How about I have someone send some over?"
Ye Wanxi couldn't hold back: "Pfft..."
The little rabbit, already tied up like a dumpling and seething with anger, almost exploded on the spot upon hearing this.
It knew it, it knew it all along. The master was becoming increasingly intolerant of it, the beloved empress rabbit, and even wanted to eat it. It was outrageous! It was so angry it was trembling with rage!
As soon as Xiao Yuti finished speaking, Madam Xiao slapped her: "What rabbit meat? That's the little rabbit raised by Tianyu."
Xiao Yuti froze, then realized she had made a blunder. Feeling guilty, she touched her nose and chuckled awkwardly, "So it was your little rabbit. Why was it tied up like that? I thought..."
Feng Tianyu said coldly, "Oh, I don't know what's wrong with him. He's in heat. Tie him up so he doesn't hurt anyone."
The little rabbit, who had been unfairly blamed, exclaimed: "!!!" You're the one in heat! Your whole family is in heat! Bullying a rabbit that can't speak human language—are you even human? That's outrageous! That's outrageous!
Upon hearing this, Xiao Yuti chuckled twice, then dared not continue the topic. She said, "Everyone's here, I'll go get the dishes," and slipped into the kitchen.
Little Qianqian, whose ears had been covered by her mother the moment Feng Tianyu opened his mouth, looked at Feng Tianyu with a bewildered expression, then at her father who was hurrying away, completely confused and full of questions.
Xiao Yuti wasn't exaggerating; he brought out all his best dishes to entertain Ye Wanxi and her companion.
Beer-braised duck, boiled seafood, braised pork, boiled cabbage—plates of these dishes were served one after another, their aroma filling the air.
Ye Wanxi's stomach started growling after just a few sniffs.
Because there were many dishes prepared, they were served a little late. The people present didn't exchange many pleasantries and just started eating.
After a few bites, Ye Wanxi praised Xiao Yuti's cooking skills: "This beer duck is especially fresh and fragrant, and it really whets the appetite. The braised pork is also fatty but not greasy, and it's very flavorful. It's the best dish to eat with rice. It's a waste that Uncle Xiao is not a chef with such skills."
"Eat more if you like it." Madam Xiao couldn't help but smile when she heard Ye Wanxi praise her husband's cooking skills. She said mysteriously, "I'm not bragging, but your Uncle Xiao's cooking skills are really good. When he was pursuing me, he would bring me food every day. At first, I didn't want to eat it. After all, we weren't familiar with each other back then, so how could I just eat food brought by a boy?"
Ye Wanxi blinked, her face showing curiosity: "Did you eat it later?"
"I ate it." Madam Xiao said, feeling both embarrassed and a little sweet. "It smelled so good! I was too shy to eat it the first time, and I thought about it all day long after I got back. I was even a little worried that if he saw that I didn't eat it on the first day, he might not send it to me on the second day."
Did he deliver it the next day?
"He gave it to her." Madam Xiao looked up at Xiao Yuti, her eyes filled with a smile. "He gave it to her for two whole years."
Seeing this, Ye Wanxi couldn't help but tease, "What does this show? It shows that pursuing someone requires patience, and sincerity can move mountains. If Uncle Xiao had been hurt in his pride after seeing that you hadn't eaten the first day and had stopped cooking for you, you two would never have ended up together. Also, it proves a saying..."
"What did you say?"
"The way to a person's heart is through their stomach. You see, he won your heart by winning your stomach, and that's how he won your heart too."
Madam Xiao was stunned. She secretly glanced at her husband and her face flushed red. "You child, how come you've become so glib after just a few months? Have you been corrupted by Tianyu? You even dare to make fun of your elders."
Feng Tianyu, who was caught in the crossfire even while lying down, was speechless.
However, Feng Tianyu's attention was quickly drawn to Ye Wanxi's words, and then he thought of how his junior sister had praised Xiao Yuti's cooking...
Ye Wanxi turned her head and saw her senior brother staring at the braised pork that she had just praised, looking thoughtful and deep. Her eyelids twitched violently.
"Stop! Forget it, there's no way I'm letting you into the kitchen!"
Uncle Xiao goes into the kitchen to make delicious food, while you go into the kitchen purely to fry things; they're completely different things.
A hint of regret flashed across Feng Tianyu's eyes, but thankfully he didn't insist. Since he couldn't cook for his junior sister himself, all he could do was feed her wholeheartedly.
Ye Wanxi loves seafood, and Xiao Yuti prepared a lot of seafood today, including fish, clams, crabs, shrimp, and various kinds.
However, shrimp and crab are relatively inconvenient to eat. Ye Wanxi would eat them at home, but she would avoid them when she was out because she found it troublesome.
Feng Tianyu knew this, so he would usually take on the task himself, leaving Ye Wanxi to just eat.
Sisi can now basically eat by herself, which makes mealtimes very easy. She eats whatever her parents put on her plate, but there are also some foods that she prefers to eat.
To ensure his wife could eat in peace, Xiao Yuti thoughtfully took over the task of feeding their daughter, and is currently peeling shrimp and crab meat for her.
Sisi, holding her own little spoon, glanced at her father, who was engrossed in peeling shrimp beside her, and then at Feng Tianyu, who was doing the same thing across from her. She frowned and said, "Dad, Mom said that Sisi is a little kid and some things are hard to prepare. Sisi is too young to eat by herself, so she asked Dad to help. Sister Wanxi is a big girl, why does she also need her brother's help? Doesn't she know how to eat these things?"
As soon as the child said this, the dining table fell silent, and everyone's eyes were immediately focused on Ye Wanxi and her companion.
Ye Wanxi paused, her hand holding the chopsticks still, and the tips of her ears turned red instantly.
Madam Xiao hadn't expected her daughter to have so many ideas. Amused, she couldn't help but tease the two of them, saying, "Your sister Wanxi probably doesn't know how to eat these things. It's because your brother likes her that he's making food for her. Just like how Qianqian's father likes her and would thoughtfully peel shrimp for her so she could eat happily."
After listening to her mother's explanation, Sisi nodded as if she understood: "I understand! Brother helps Sister Wanxi because he likes Sister Wanxi. Brother likes Sister Wanxi just like Dad likes Sisi."
Madam Xiao: "..." It seems right, but something seems wrong.
Feng Tianyu: "..." What the hell is this? It's completely different! His feelings for his junior sister are romantic, not paternal love!
