Little Cabbage was wiping her nose with a tissue, looking pitiful, which made Yue Jiuling and Mu Xiaoyi feel sorry for her.
Ya Zi and Ye Dongfeng overheard their conversation and came over. Ye Dongfeng asked curiously, "That's strange. Why are your plants so afraid of the cold? That's not right. In the past, Chinese cabbages in the north grew very well in winter. They could survive unless it snowed heavily."
“I know what’s going on,” Ya Zi suddenly said, just as everyone was concerned about Xiao Baicai’s fear of the cold. “Xiao Baicai, I remember you said you were a southern vegetable, so it’s hard for southern vegetables to survive the winter in the north. It’s normal that you’re so afraid of the cold now, because you haven’t adapted to the weather here yet.”
Upon hearing Ya Zi's words, Xiao Baicai suddenly realized something and happily said, "That's right, I almost forgot. I'm actually a southern vegetable. No wonder I'm so afraid of the cold."
J City is a city close to the north, so the weather is quite cold in winter. It's normal for bok choy, a vegetable from the south, to get cold.
Little Cabbage picked up a hand warmer from the checkout counter, then sniffled and said, "Hey, I knew it! Before I could become human, I could bury myself in the ground in winter and it wasn't so cold. Why am I still so afraid of the cold now that I'm wearing clothes? Turns out it's because it's my first time being human and I'm not used to winter yet!"
"Haha, it's okay, you'll get used to it eventually."
Mu Xiaoyi patted Xiaobaicai's head and said with a smile, "By the way, where's your boyfriend? Isn't he at the restaurant today?"
"Qi Ge hasn't been home these past few days because some of his friends came over, and they've been out for a few days on business."
Little Cabbage explained, "Let's go eat first. Today is another day with new dishes!"
"Huh? No way, that big shot Qiongqi isn't going home? Aren't you worried about him?"
Upon hearing Xiaobaicai's words, Ye Dongfeng immediately gossiped, "What kind of friend came? Your partner actually dared to leave you behind and not come back for several days."
Since Xiaobaicai got together with Qiongqi, there has been no news of them being separated. Qiongqi really dotes on Xiaobaicai. Even if Xiaobaicai sometimes has to work overtime, Qiongqi will come to pick her up late at night. So everyone is a little curious about Qiongqi being away from home for several days.
Yue Jiuling frowned and said, "They haven't been back for days? How could they bear to leave you behind? This doesn't seem like Qiongqi's style at all."
Ya Zi also asked, "Did he say anything to you when he left?"
"No, they just said they had something to take care of and then left. I didn't ask them anything else. What happened?"
Xiao Baicai looked at her colleagues in confusion, and then said, "Actually, you don't need to worry. Although Brother Qi is not at home, Xiao Hui and the others who stayed behind are taking good care of me."
"Yeah, it's just strange. I can't figure out what would make him willing to leave you behind and go out to take care of things."
Mu Xiaoyi shook her head and said, "Oh well, let's ignore him for now and eat first."
Ye Dongfeng followed behind Xiaobaicai. When they reached the second floor, he quickly stepped past Xiaobaicai, pushed open a private room prepared for them, went in, picked a seat, and said, "Alright, Xiaobaicai, you can serve us the food now. Oh dear, I didn't eat lunch today just to get this meal from you. I deliberately went hungry to freeload."
"Hahaha, you deserve it, who told you to do this?"
Hearing Ye Dongfeng's words, Mu Xiaoyi mocked him, while Yue Jiuling laughed beside her, "Wow, Dongfeng, you really don't need to make yourself like this for a meal!"
Little Cabbage laughed and said, "You guys are really something. Alright, you all wait here. I'll go and have them serve the dishes now."
As she spoke, Xiaobaicai left the private room and went downstairs to urge the staff to serve the dishes.
Seeing that Xiaobaicai had already left, Yazi glanced at his colleagues and said softly, "Qiongqi is a very powerful demon. Under normal circumstances, he wouldn't leave his territory on his own initiative, let alone go out without Xiaobaicai this time. So I guess it might be..."
