Chapter 109 A Little Scheming
"Brother, is the girl next door a lesbian? I was wondering why she sent me a fruit basket and treated me to dinner. She must have a crush on me!"
Ji Xiaomi frowned and complained while eating lunch.
"I'm so good-looking, that girl must have fallen in love with me at first sight!"
【……】
Didn’t you realize before that your sister is quite narcissistic?
Xiaonian knew the identities of Chaoyang and Chaolu, so he naturally thought that Chaoyang and Chaolu were so nice to Ji Xiaomi because they recognized her.
[Pfft...are you thinking too much?]
Xiao Hei, who was basking in the sun, couldn't help laughing out loud.
[Maybe the people next door are just simply enthusiastic? Besides, everyone living in this area is pretty wealthy, so they probably don't need a meal or two, right?]
"What do you know? The richer people are, the more stingy they tend to be. Only the second generation of rich people tend to be generous. Most of the first generation of rich people are very stingy. After all, they earned their money bit by bit."
Ji Xiaomi has a lot of reasons to talk about.
"Once in a while it's considered generous, but this happens repeatedly, it's definitely not as simple as that!"
She was excitedly expressing her guess when someone suddenly knocked on the gate of the yard.
Ji Xiaomi was stunned for a moment and guessed that it must be from next door. After hesitating for a moment, she got up and opened the door.
It was the boy who delivered the fruit basket yesterday evening.
"Good afternoon, Moe."
Chaoyang gave her a small smile and greeted her.
Ji Xiaomi coughed lightly: "Good afternoon. What's wrong with you..."
She looked at the basket in Chaoyang's hand. It was covered with a tablecloth, so she couldn't see what was inside.
"I made some dessert for you to try." He paused again and said, "By the way, I want to apologize to my sister. Did I scare you today?"
Ji Xiaomi was stunned.
Hey, why is he...
"My sister told me at lunch, don't get me wrong, she didn't mean it that way. She was just being straightforward."
As he spoke, Chaoyang gestured to the basket in his hand.
"Would it be convenient for me to come in? I need to eat my dessert quickly, or the cream will melt."
After thinking for a few seconds, Ji Xiaomi said in her heart.
She felt that Aye gave her a pretty good impression. He was good-looking, polite, and a little gentle.
[Humph, seeing beauty and forgetting the rules!]
Xiao Hei cursed and hid away.
Ji Xiaomi: "..."
Soon, Chaoyang was welcomed into the yard by Ji Xiaomi.
There is a small table in the yard, just big enough for two people to sit.
After Chaoyang sat down, he lifted the tablecloth on the basket, revealing the fruit cream cakes inside.
He made two varieties in total, strawberry and orange.
There was also a bottle of apple juice in it.
"Which one do you want?"
"Strawberry, right?"
Chaoyang took out a small strawberry-flavored cake and placed it in front of him. He didn't eat the other one either. He just silently covered the small basket with the tablecloth and put it aside.
"I didn't expect you could make desserts..."
Ji Xiaomi picked up the fork and took a bite of the cake. The cake tasted sweet and delicious.
"It's just a little hobby, as long as you like it." Chaoyang raised his eyebrows, but soon sighed softly, "As for my sister, you've met her too. She's tall and has dark skin, which is why she doesn't have many friends. So when she saw you moving in, she seemed so enthusiastic, but actually, she just wanted to make friends with you."
Um……
Chaolu really doesn’t have many friends. After all, she only likes fighting and killing, and doesn’t like making friends.
It's not really a lie.
Ji Xiaomi, who was eating cake, was stunned: "...Is that so."
So, this is actually a misunderstanding?
"Yeah." Chaoyang nodded. "My sister lacks communication skills and speaks bluntly. She said she likes you very much, meaning that she thinks you are a good person and wants to be friends with you.
She has had a boyfriend before, if you don’t believe me I can show you their photos.”
"Haha, no need, no need, I believe you."
Ji Xiaomi felt a little embarrassed.
[That's normal. After all, you usually like to read novels about men and women.]
New Year's complaints.
Ji Xiaomi: "..."
cough.
Ji Xiaomi felt awkward and a little embarrassed. She looked at the cake in her hand and couldn't help but steal a glance at the boy opposite her.
It turned out that the other person was looking at him, and when he glanced at him, his eyes happened to meet.
Ji Xiaomi: ...It feels even more awkward.
"Well, you don't have to feel embarrassed. It's true that my sister was too abrupt. It's not like no one has misunderstood me before."
Chaoyang was amused by Ji Xiaomi's little action.
So cute.
The more Chaoyang said this, the more embarrassed Ji Xiaomi felt.
These two siblings are quite nice, but she was judging them by her own standards...
"Mo Yi, if you're really embarrassed, why don't you come to my house for dinner tonight."
Chaoyang took the opportunity to make a suggestion.
"It's a good opportunity to talk things out. It's just a misunderstanding, not a big deal."
Ji Xiaomi raised her head and said, "How about I treat you guys to a meal? You and your sister brought me fruit and small cakes, and I even ate your food...it's time for me to treat you."
It's not good to always eat other people's food.
"Alright, then I'll come and help you tonight?"
"Uh...okay."
After the chat, Chaoyang did not stay for too long. Instead, he exchanged a few more words and then got up and left.
Only after everyone got into the car did Ji Xiaomi start to worry.
"He wants to help me... so I have to cook for myself, right?"
How could she cook? When she was in the mountains, Uncle Xiao cooked for her, and when she came out, she cooked ready-made meals exchanged through the system.
[Then you still agree? ]
"Well... since he's already proposed it, I can't refuse." Ji Xiaomi felt a little guilty and her eyes began to drift to the side. "He means well."
Now Xiaonian finally discovered something was wrong.
[…Are you attracted to him?]
"I don't!"
Ji Xiaomi immediately denied it.
"Brother, you're overthinking it. I'm leaving after getting the energy beads. Do you think I'm going to have a relationship here? How bad would that make me?"
【Too.】
Xiaonian dispelled his doubts.
I think I'm thinking too much.
Tsk, they are indeed siblings, they both tend to overthink.
"Um, brother, can you cook?" Ji Xiaomi chuckled, "Or, do you have any simple and delicious dishes that you can teach me?"
【……】
【I am a system, I will be a ghost. 】
Despite all the complaints, Xiaonian still contacted the food system in the system group and asked for some simple recipes, which he then showed to Ji Xiaomi.
Ji Xiaomi crammed for the exam and studied for an entire afternoon. By the evening, he was suddenly full of confidence.
No problem!
"Knock, knock, knock."
Ji Xiaomi ran to open the door, while Xiao Hei hid while cursing.
The door opened, and Chaoyang, wearing a white shirt, stood at the door carrying a bag of fruit and smiled at her.
"Good evening."
He said.
