He saw the red number, which only he could see, drop from 20 to 5.
Bai Yun'an completely lost it!
【Wait, what's wrong with this child? Can't she even accept praise? Can't she take a kind word?】
[Why is my affection level still dropping?! Shouldn't she like me more now? I've already given her candy!]
[Aren't kids always the most likely to show favoritism? I give all the best food and drinks to this child, how could they not like me!]
For a child like Juanjuan, who is good at keeping things to herself, intelligent, and sensitive, sincerity is the only way to win her heart.
But Bai Yun'an doesn't understand it yet.
Juanjuan ate the candy in her mouth while listening to her third brother's somewhat distraught voice.
Her body involuntarily shrank back, and then she timidly and hesitantly took a step back.
"Third Brother, I'm going to feed the chickens..."
After saying that, he turned and ran.
Bai Yun'an smiled.
Why is this kid so hard to win over?!
He felt exhausted. He had given the child delicious food and said nice things, but the child's favorability had decreased instead of increased!
It feels like I've been cheated on by a jerk, losing both money (and my feelings)!
Are you kidding me?!
He watched the child run away, feeling slightly agitated, wondering why the child was acting so strangely.
Threatening him doesn't work, pleasing him doesn't work, coaxing him doesn't work, what else do you want from him!
"The third brother?"
The sudden sound made Bai Yun'an instantly hide the displeasure in his eyes.
He looked up and saw his older brother looking at him thoughtfully not far away.
Bai Yun'an revealed a harmless smile.
"Big brother, what's wrong?"
Bai Yunqi looked on, and a suspicion arose in his heart.
Just now, he sensed an unsettling aura of hostility emanating from this so-called third brother.
But it seems that's not the case now.
Could it be that I only completed half of the cleansing and marrow-refining process, and there's a problem with my perception?
Bai Yunqi waved to him: "Come on, let's go gather firewood!"
Dinner was made by Juanjuan again.
In fact, Jiang Dai and Bai Tian, the parents, went to help, but were kicked out by their child.
Jiang Dai would knead the dough, adding water if it was too thick and flour if it was too thin. It seemed like she was doing the right thing, but she kept doing it over and over again.
If Juanjuan hadn't stopped her, she probably would have eaten all the noodles she bought.
Bai Tian wasn't much better off.
He said stir-frying was dangerous, so he was asked to help roll the dough. However, because he didn't know how to use the tools properly and there was no peanut oil, the dough burned completely.
Juanjuan: ...
The four-year-old child forcefully pushed his parents out of the dilapidated small kitchen.
Jiang Dai: [There's nothing I can do about it... My mom used to cook at home, but since I started working here, it's been pre-made meals and boxed lunches.]
Bai Tian: [The company cafeteria is great, and food delivery is good too, but unfortunately, we don't have that here.]
The two useless adults exchanged a glance; one went to do the laundry, and the other went to clean the house.
When Bai Yunqi and the others returned from gathering firewood, Juanjuan had already prepared dinner.
On the small wooden table were sweet potato pancakes made from wheat flour, brown rice porridge, and stir-fried wild vegetables with meat.
"Wow! At least we don't have to eat wild vegetable pancakes today!"
Bai Yunqi's voice was slightly exaggerated, but you could tell he was genuinely happy.
Bai Yunxing hasn't changed much. For him, as long as there's something to eat, that's enough. In the past, when he was fighting alongside the army, he would eat whatever was available, like dry naan bread, for several days in a row.
Bai Yun'an took a bite of the stir-fried wild vegetables with meat, and his eyes lit up immediately.
The pork is infused with the fresh, plant-like aroma of wild vegetables, making it not greasy at all. The slightly bitter wild vegetables are now masked by the meat's fragrance, and even have a slightly addictive aroma.
"Juanjuan, did you cook this? It looks delicious!"
Bai Yun'an praised the little guy.
Actually, I was thinking: [If I could take out the ingredients and seasonings from my spatial storage, this dish would taste even better.]
Juanjuan looked up at her third brother and nodded silently.
Sure enough, that's how Third Brother is. He praises himself to his face, but he doesn't really think her cooking is that delicious.
Didn't I hear my third brother say, "Could it taste even better?"
Third Brother... he's just lying to kids.
Bai Yun'an watched as his favorability dropped a little more, now standing at 4.
My hand trembled as I picked up the food.
