"Okay."
Little Yuzu responded and went to wash her hands.
Cheng Cheng followed Xiao Ye into the kitchen.
Xiao Ye stood at the door and closed the kitchen door after Cheng Cheng came in.
Cheng Cheng washed her hands, picked up the bowl, and noticed Xiao Ye blocking the doorway: "What's wrong?"
"You interrupted me and I forgot for a moment. What were you and Xiaoyouzi talking about? Is there any result?" Xiao Ye looked at Cheng Cheng with a deep gaze.
Feeling a little guilty, Cheng Cheng unconsciously swallowed, his Adam's apple bobbing slightly.
He quickly composed himself and casually said, "We were just chatting casually at the door. There's no way we can get results so quickly with paper figures."
"Hmm?" Xiao Ye raised an eyebrow: "Just chatting? What did you talk about? Tell me about it."
"It's nothing, just some private matters. Why are you being so nosy? Don't ask anymore." Cheng Cheng tried to brush it off.
Xiao Ye's eyes were filled with amusement: "Private matters? What private matters of yours can't I hear about?"
"And you were chatting with the door closed?"
Xiao Ye clearly didn't believe Cheng Cheng's lies.
Faced with Xiao Ye's increasingly aggressive words, Cheng Cheng immediately said, "I already said it's a private matter, it's normal to close the door!"
Xiao Ye scoffed and retorted, "Are you sure?"
"I'm sure!"
Cheng Cheng, holding the bowl and chopsticks, couldn't open the door, so she could only order, "Quick, open the door for me, I want to eat with Xiaoyouzi."
As he spoke, he secretly glanced at Xiao Ye's expression.
Xiao Ye opened the door helplessly: "You have no conscience."
Before Cheng Cheng could speak, Xiao Ye glanced at Xiao Youzi, who was sitting normally, and then said, "Go out, I need to cook."
"Mmm-hmm." Cheng Cheng nodded hurriedly, picked up her bowl and chopsticks, and left.
Xiao Ye closed the door on his own initiative.
He stood in front of the kitchen door, his eyes lowered, his expression inscrutable.
Cheng Cheng was not usually so guarded or cautious.
The way they acted just now was clearly suspicious.
Xiao Ye already had bad thoughts in his mind.
However, he suppressed his anger, turned around and started cooking, his expression calm.
Poor Cheng Cheng thought he was being cautious, but little did he know that his little actions had already exposed him.
He came out, placed a bowl of small pomelos in front of him, and said self-satisfiedly, "Don't worry, I won't give myself away."
Seeing that Cheng Cheng wasn't very bright, Xiao Youzi, being kind-hearted, didn't say anything to discourage him.
After the two ate some side dishes for about ten minutes, Xiao Ye came out with a plate of fragrant dishes.
Wearing a blue apron, Xiao Ye looked more like a married man, and the muscles on his arms were showing.
"It smells so good~" Little Yuzu took a deep breath.
The aroma of spicy chicken filled her nose.
Little Yuzu exclaimed excitedly, "Eat up, eat up! It'll be so delicious with rice!"
After happily eating two large bowls of rice at Cheng Cheng's house, Xiao Youzi was completely unable to walk any further.
She lay on the carpet, gently placing her hand on her round belly: "I'm so full, I can't walk anymore, I need to rest."
A satisfied smile graced Xiaoyouzi's delicate and pretty face.
"It's not good to lie like this." Cheng Cheng poked Xiao Youzi's cheek.
Little Yuzu tried to dodge the poke, but failed and almost bumped into the coffee table leg.
Be careful.
Xiao Ye quickly placed his hand in front of Xiao Youzi's head, saying, "Cheng Cheng, stop poking her. Xiao Youzi, get up too."
"Okay." Little Yuzu slowly got up, leaned back on the sofa, glanced at the time, and said, "It's about time, I'm going home now. You guys enjoy your meal!"
Little Yuzu quickly got up, showing no trace of her previous clumsy demeanor.
"Bye-bye~" She didn't even mention the result the paper doll had predicted, only giving Cheng Cheng a look that said "good luck," before slipping away.
Xiao Ye stood up: "Wait a minute, Xiao Youzi, um..."
Before he could speak, Xiao Ye was grabbed by Cheng Cheng.
Cheng Cheng tugged at Xiao Ye, signaling him to be quiet, then waved to Xiao Youzi, "You go back first, I'll handle the rest."
After Xiaoyouzi left, Xiao Ye shifted his gaze to Cheng Cheng: "Is there anything you want to say?"
"Sit down first, don't look at me like that." Cheng Cheng forcefully pulled Xiao Ye to sit down.
Xiao Ye sat down patiently.
He didn't say anything, but gave Cheng Cheng a look that said, "Let's see how you try to argue with me."
This made Cheng Cheng a little scared.
He scratched his head, quietly moved a little further away, and said, "It was just now that Xiaoyouzi told me that she found news about your uncle."
"Why are you hiding so far away?" Xiao Ye narrowed his eyes, his gaze fixed on Cheng Cheng with an unfriendly expression.
Seeing that he was still concerned about how far away she was hiding even at this point, Cheng Cheng couldn't help but say, "I'm telling you that I've found your uncle's whereabouts."
"And then?" Xiao Ye shifted and sat down next to Cheng Cheng.
Cheng Cheng jumped up like a rabbit with its fur standing on end: "Your uncle is in the north, very far north. Little Youzi drew a map for him."
As he spoke, Cheng Cheng shoved the map into Xiao Ye's hand and continued, "Your parents can't be found, so that's it!"
After finishing his speech, Cheng Cheng was afraid that Xiao Ye would get angry, so he tried to slip away.
However, before he could even run, Xiao Ye, with quick eyes and hands, grabbed fate by the back of the neck.
Grabbing Cheng Cheng by the back of the neck, Xiao Ye said, "Why are you running? Come back and sit down."
Cheng Cheng obediently sat down.
"Is that why you're being so cautious?"
