Shi Xi walked downstairs.
Her feet still hurt a little, but compared to her craving for popcorn, Shi Xi could still bear it.
The nanny had just put the barbecue grill away and was tidying up the kitchen when she saw Shi Xi come downstairs.
"Auntie, do you have an air fryer and baby corn? I want to eat popcorn," Shi Xi asked.
"Yes, I'll make it for you right away," the nanny said.
"I can do it myself. Can you find the baby corn for me?" Shi Xi's eyes crinkled into a smile. "Does Auntie want some?"
The nanny was clearly past the age of snacking. "I've already eaten dinner," she said.
Shi Xi: "Auntie, please get some rest. I'll put the pot away after I've finished cooking."
Seeing that Shi Xi was skilled at her work, the nanny said with relief, "Then I'll go back and rest now."
Goodnight, Auntie.
"Good night."
Who doesn't love a pretty, cute little girl?
After the fragrant popcorn was popped, Shi Xi scooped it into a large bowl.
Although we had barbecue tonight.
But snacks are snacks.
Shi Xi was about to take the popcorn back to her room when she heard footsteps.
Um?
Shi Xi turned her head and saw that it was Chu Yuan.
"Teacher Chu Yuan?" Shi Xi asked, "What is Teacher Chu Yuan looking for?"
"Come out and get some water." Chu Yuan glanced at the popcorn in Shi Xi's arms.
"I popped this popcorn myself. Would you like some, Teacher Chu Yuan?" Shi Xi happily shared her snacks.
Chu Yuan shook his head, "Thank you, but no need."
Shi Xi put down the popcorn and said, "Let me pour you some water first."
Finding the quilt, Shi Xi poured Chu Yuan a glass of warm water.
Just as she handed over the cup, Shi Xi heard a "glug, glug glug" sound.
"What was that sound?" Shi Xi asked, puzzled.
"Hmm?" Chu Yuan took the cup, looking puzzled.
Shi Xi described it as, "It was a 'gurgling' sound, like... the sound of someone being hungry."
Chu Yuan was about to make an excuse when his stomach rumbled again.
Shi Xi looked in the direction of the sound and asked in surprise, "Are you hungry?"
Chu Yuan said helplessly, "A little."
Shi Xi: It's not that I'm just a little hungry.
In this episode, Chu Yuan's tent flooded during the night, and the compressed biscuits he found yesterday got wet and became inedible.
He searched for food all day and then met Nan Wan on the road. Chu Yuan gave his food to Nan Wan.
They had barely eaten all day, and their tent was in a terrible state.
Chu Yuan was just thinking about how to get through the day when he saw smoke rising from this side.
He then thought of finding a place to stay and asking if he could get some food.
Unexpectedly, I ran into Shi Xi.
Even more unexpectedly, this was Xie Yunzhou's villa.
I was only able to stay because of Shi Xi's influence.
Chu Yuan didn't want to ask Xie Yunzhou for food, so he remained hungry.
Shi Xi had no idea what Chu Yuan had gone through that day. Hearing his stomach rumble, she said, "Eat some popcorn first, and I'll cook you a bowl of noodles."
Chu Yuan: "Thank you for your help."
"It'll only take a few minutes, no problem," Shi Xi said, and started boiling water to prepare to cut the tomatoes.
When preparing for the evening barbecue, Shi Xi roughly knew where the ingredients were kept.
Chu Yuan stood to the side, slowly sipping his water, and asked, "Are you and Mr. Xie dating?"
"No, we're just friends." Shi Xi said, cutting a tomato.
Chu Yuan thought about how Xie Yunzhou and Shi Xi got along.
They really don't seem like friends.
More like lovers.
What kind of friends would hug each other and sleep in the same room?
