The egg crepe was fried too thick, turning into a fragrant pancake. Li Xian used chopsticks to break it into small pieces for her.
The pancake cooled down after a while.
But Xu Nuo looked at Li Xian with expectant eyes and pushed the pancake to him: "Try the breakfast I made for you and see if it's good."
She looked every bit the virtuous wife and loving mother, washing her hands to prepare food and waiting for her husband to come home and enjoy it.
Completely forgetting that all he did was flip the pancake over, and that was with Li Xian's help.
"Okay." Li Xian wiped his hands clean, sat down, picked up a piece and took a big bite, his cheeks clenching tightly.
Outside, the sunlight was warm and gentle; inside, a beautiful face shone brightly.
Li Xian felt a tightness in his throat, and an indescribable emotion spread across his tongue.
Seeing Li Xian's serious expression, Xu Nuo quickly asked him, "Is it delicious?"
Li Xian snapped out of his daze and saw Xu Nuo staring at him expectantly. He quickly nodded to her, his voice hoarse, "It's delicious."
Xu Nuo's big eyes lit up with a knowing smile as she thought to herself with delight that she was sure she wouldn't mess up her first time making breakfast for Li Xian.
Look how delicious his food is.
So Xu Nuo opened her mouth wide and took a big bite, then blinked her big, expectant eyes.
Then she slapped her head and sighed regretfully, "Oh no, I forgot to add salt, it's not tasty enough."
Li Xian savored the delicious aroma. The food, grown with herbal water, had its own sweet fragrance, making it incredibly delicious to him even without any seasoning.
What's more, apart from his parents, no one else makes him breakfast.
Li Xian put down his chopsticks, rubbed the radish shreds on her lips, and removed them, saying earnestly, "It's delicious, so soft and sticky, really."
It was the best breakfast he had ever eaten.
Xu Nuo took a bite and found that it was indeed quite delicious after chewing it. Although there was no seasoning, it had a natural food aroma.
As the clouds cleared, she happily lowered her head and nibbled on an egg pancake like a little squirrel.
When Li Xian saw that her cup was empty, he went to get hot water to make her some malted milk powder. When he came back, his gaze fell on her bowl and he couldn't help but laugh.
Half an egg pancake, with neat little teeth marks all around it.
She looked up at him and smiled, "I'm full."
Reaching out to take the cup, Li Xian held it higher, saying, "It's hot."
"Oh." She withdrew her hand, rolled up a small circle of pancake, and fed it to Li Xian's mouth: "Open your mouth."
Seeing that he opened his mouth to accept it, Xu Nu smiled and poked his arm, complaining softly, "You didn't even praise me."
Her little mouth was pouting high, looking quite displeased, but her eyes held an undisguised joy.
"ah."
With a dizzying sensation, Xu Nuo was picked up and found herself sitting on Li Xian's lap. Her ears felt warm, and the man's deep voice, tingling with pleasure, seemed to exclaim, "Nuonuo, you're so good."
Xu Nuo chuckled, her little mouth involuntarily curling up, and she looked at him with a mischievous glint in her eyes: "How good is it?"
His eyes were dark, and he said earnestly, "Very good, very good."
Xu Nuo deliberately made things difficult for him: "What does 'very, very good' mean? How good is 'very, very good'?"
Li Xian was stumped by his question and stammered, "It's...very good, very good."
Looking down, he saw a mischievous glint in her eyes. Annoyed, he hugged her tightly, looking rather aggrieved and helpless: "You're teasing me again."
Xu Nuo wrapped her arms around his waist and mocked him mercilessly: "Hmph, you're the idiot. If you asked me, that's what I would have said."
She straightened up, cleared her throat, and immediately got into character, looking at Li Xian with tender affection, and speaking in a strange, high-pitched voice.
"Li Xian, do you know? You are my only one. Since I met you, everyone else in the world has become a compromise."
She was talking nonsense, but he took it all seriously.
I felt frozen in place, with only my heart pounding rapidly.
Xu Nuo immediately shook his arm: "How was it? How was it? Weren't you very touched?"
Li Xian's cold face turned red from his neck to his ears. Xu Nuo was smug, looking like a playboy who had flirted with a respectable woman. She lightly scratched the corner of his mouth with her fingertip: "Look at you, you're still shy."
Li Xian's breath hitched. He blinked, his eyes darting to the side repeatedly, unable to look at her directly.
Xu Nuo poked his shoulder with a mischievous grin, adding insult to injury: "Look at you, your face is red, your neck is red, oh dear, why are your ears so red..."
The person who could no longer tolerate her grabbed her head and shut her up.
Finally, the smug, spoiled girl pleaded in a soft voice, "I won't laugh... um..."
Her voice was swallowed up again.
Her delicate face flushed crimson, her long eyelashes glistening with moisture. The man, his face red, lightly pecked her swollen, red lips.
Finally, they released the person.
She was panting.
She was exhausted, like she had just run a marathon, and collapsed into his arms.
Feeling extremely resentful that she had just been completely outmaneuvered, she opened her mouth and bit his chest.
…
Neither of them moved. Xu Nuo nestled in Li Xian's arms, while Li Xian sat at the table, listening to each other's breathing and feeling each other's warmth.
Li Xian's hand gently landed on her back.
Xu Nuo was full and feeling a little sleepy.
A voice suddenly came from outside, like a thunderclap, hitting Xu Nuo's head.
"Brother Li."
Xu Nuo was so frightened that she jumped off Li Xian and hid behind the door like a rabbit.
Li Xian froze. A small head peeked out from behind the door and urged him in a low voice, "Hurry up, hurry up, don't get caught."
Duan San stood in the courtyard, reluctant to go in. He looked at the thriving fruits and vegetables, marveling at them and feeling very envious.
What incredible luck Li Ge got! He just randomly picked a plant and it grew into something like this.
No, it's a treasure.
Looking back, Li Xian had a gloomy face, and his aura was so overwhelming that it seemed like he could crush someone.
Duan San's legs went weak: "Brother Li, Brother Li."
Li Xian wanted to tie the man up and throw him ten miles away, his voice cold and hard: "Speak."
Duan San felt a chill on his neck, took a small step back, and said, "A few days ago you asked me to inquire about that Xu Yan family matter. I asked Brother Yue, and it's true that someone named Xu Jinhong mortgaged his house to Eighth Master. He was hiding in that house, but Brother Yue caught him yesterday and gave him a good beating."
Duan San scoffed, "Xu Jinhong doesn't have the money to pay back, but he said his younger brother is a city leader who receives government grain rations, so he must have money. He's urging Yue Ge and the others to go to his brother's house to ask for the money."
Li Xian's eyes turned cold: "Yue Dong and the others went?"
Duan San waved his hand: "No."
After Duan San finished asking around, he told Yue Dong that he couldn't go to Xu Jinhong's brother's house.
Yue Dong asked, "What's wrong? Whose house is that?"
Duan San said, "That girl is friends with Brother Li, and they have a good relationship."
Yue Dong has been in this line of work for many years and rarely gives people face. But as soon as he heard Li Xian's name, he immediately perked up. Who is the most popular person in front of Master Ri Ba?
That's Li Xian, the guy who runs a smuggling operation.
