Room 901, Qingjiao Apartment.
Looking at the neat and tidy living room, Lin Xiao secretly admired: Bai Xuemei's family is really efficient!
In just one day, they rented a house from the school that was intended for young teachers as temporary accommodation, and kept it spotless.
He watched for a while longer as the fairy-like junior girl knitted a scarf.
She lowered her eyes and knitted with great care, stitch by stitch.
So he got up, opened the refrigerator, and found it was full!
There are fresh noodles, eggs, and some fresh vegetables and fruits.
The frozen compartment also contains prawns, steaks, and pork belly.
Wow.
Isn't this forcing him to do it himself?
He took out an autumn pear and sat down next to Bai Youyou to peel it.
"Junior, what are you planning to eat for lunch? In the cafeteria or cook for yourself?"
Bai Youyou paused for a moment, then looked up at Lin Xiao, blinking her clear, moist almond-shaped eyes.
What can the senior do?
Lin Xiao placed the long, mosquito-coil-like fruit peel on the coffee table and scooped the pulp into a glass bowl for fruit.
"Cooking takes at least forty minutes, and then you have to wash the pots and pans. How about I cook you a bowl of noodles?"
Bai Youyou's eyes lit up, and a sweet dimple appeared on her lips.
"Okay! Thank you for your hard work, senior! I'll do the washing and cleaning!"
Lin Xiao was taken aback, then laughed incredulously, "Junior, do you know how to wash pots and pans?"
She looked like a pampered young lady from a wealthy family who never lifted a finger.
Given that she has high-functioning autism, the Bai family doesn't seem to need her to do these housework chores.
Bai Youyou blushed and said with a smile, "It's very simple, isn't it? I can do it!"
Lin Xiao raised a brow.
I neither agree nor disagree.
Washing pots and pans is indeed very simple.
The fairy-like junior is actually not stupid. On the contrary, her concentration is beyond the reach of ordinary people.
Lin Xiao peeled the pear flesh, but the rest was too difficult to cut, so he gnawed on it with his teeth.
The main focus is on avoiding waste.
He placed a small metal fork in the bowl and pushed the sliced pear flesh in front of Bai Youyou.
"Junior, have a pear."
Bai Youyou nodded and said "Oh," but did not look up immediately.
Lin Xiao checked the time and went to the refrigerator to find all the ingredients needed to make noodles.
One pot is used to cook noodles, and another pot is used to cook noodle soup.
The pork belly is sliced very thinly and repeatedly stir-fried in a hot pan until the oil is rendered.
Add scallions, ginger, and garlic and stir-fry until fragrant.
Turn the heat to low and fry two soft-boiled eggs.
Add a little pickled cowpeas, stir-fry, add a small spoonful of chili powder, and pour in purified water.
Bring to a boil over high heat, then simmer over low heat until flavorful.
Once the noodles are cooked, divide them into two portions.
Add a handful of bok choy and blanch it.
Add a little chicken bouillon and light soy sauce for seasoning.
Finally, pour the soup over the noodles and stir gently to combine.
Lin Xiao brought the noodles to the table and invited Bai Youyou to eat.
"Junior, eat your noodles first, otherwise they'll get soggy and won't taste good."
Bai Youyou sniffed and put down the scarf she was knitting.
She worked tirelessly for over ten hours to complete the knitting, and it's already quite long now.
"Coming!" Bai Youyou replied innocently.
Lin Xiao walked over and gestured; it was already a third of his own height.
His dark eyes flickered.
He turned and followed me, sitting down at the dining table. He smiled and said, "Junior, you rented this whole place just to knit this scarf for me? Isn't that a bit too much?"
Bai Youyou tied her long hair up with a purple silk scrunchie, revealing her fair swan neck.
She waved her hand, then eagerly slurped up a mouthful of noodles.
Her clear almond-shaped eyes lit up instantly.
She took another slurp.
"Senior, it's so delicious!" she exclaimed in delight.
Lin Xiao raised his eyebrows slightly, his peach blossom eyes filled with laughter, and he also lowered his head to eat.
Hmm.
It's really good.
It tastes much better than the noodles at those hole-in-the-wall restaurants.
It's fragrant and flavorful.
The key is cleanliness.
Before long, the silly junior girl finished the whole bowl of soup.
She wiped her mouth and smiled, "I rented this apartment because I wanted to be alone with my senior."
Her smile was bright and innocent.
But Lin Xiao was somewhat stunned.
Why did she want to be alone with him?
Are the school library, the grove of trees, and dormitory 808 not enough for the two of them?
"So, how much did it cost to rent this house?" Lin Xiao asked.
Bai Youyou shook her head, "I don't know. My dad had someone rent it."
"Does your dad know you want to be alone with me in this room?" Lin Xiao asked in surprise.
Bai Youyou shook her head again. "He doesn't know. I told him I wanted my own space."
Lin Xiao responded with an "oh," relieved.
Lin Xiao finished eating, cleared the dishes, and planned to clean up the kitchen.
He felt that he had earned this money far too easily.
I got a free meal again, saving myself the cost of the meal.
"Senior, it's a promise, I'll wash the pots and pans. Leave it to me." Bai Youyou reached out and pushed him towards the sofa, saying coquettishly, "You go and knit me a scarf."
This gesture was very intimate, clearly going beyond the typical relationship between an upperclassman and a lowerclassman.
Lin Xiao's heart skipped a beat.
The nerdy junior seems a little different than before.
Surely it's not that he's suddenly become enlightened about matters between men and women?
If Old Man Bai found out, he'd probably send someone to beat him up.
wrong.
Shouldn't we thank him?
After all, he was Bai Xuemei's mentor.
And he didn't do anything.
Aside from the beginning, I only played a few mini-games with my junior.
He stopped playing after that.
