Chapter 79 Makes you waver countless times
Shishu served dinner, but Xihe didn't move his chopsticks for a long time. He just curled up in a ball and remained silent.
"What's wrong? Not to your liking?"
The dishes ordered by Xiao Mingxuan were all Xihe's favorites, but the little girl didn't even pick up the chopsticks. Was she tired of eating them?
A little head popped out from his arms, revealing Xihe's slightly sad expression.
"Feeling uncomfortable?" Xiao Mingxuan asked again.
Xihe pursed his lips, shook his head, and still said nothing.
Xiao Mingxuan frowned slightly, "What's the matter? Speak!"
Xihe was about to open her mouth, but suddenly changed her mind and closed her slightly open mouth again. She covered her mouth with both hands, looking pitiful.
In just a moment, Xiao Mingxuan's eyes changed and he asked, "What's wrong with your mouth?"
"Nothing!" Xihe covered his mouth and mumbled a few words incoherently.
Xiao Mingxuan didn't believe a word of it. He put down his chopsticks, stood up, and picked up a little quail in his arms.
"Open your mouth, let me see what's going on."
The little girl shook her head like a rattle and refused to let go.
"Zhao Xihe!" Xiao Mingxuan's tone changed, becoming rather sharp. "Be obedient and open your mouth."
Xiao Mingxuan didn't often call her by her full name, and once he did, it meant he was angry.
The little girl reluctantly let go of her hand, and her whole body was like a drowned rat, listless and listless.
"Open your mouth." Xiao Mingxuan said lightly.
The little girl was afraid that the big bad wolf would get angry again, so she opened her mouth obediently, and the holes between her teeth appeared clearly in front of the wolf.
Xiao Mingxuan was stunned for a moment, then suddenly laughed out loud, "So it's about changing teeth."
Hearing the other person's laughter, Xihe glared at him and covered her mouth with her hand, "You are not allowed to laugh!"
Xiao Mingxuan tilted his head and hid the smile on his lips.
Xihe covered her mouth and complained, "Wow, you're as bad as your sister! You both have dimples!"
She had lost a tooth, and Zhao Siyuan made her laugh for most of the day.
Xiao Mingxuan didn't admit it and quietly changed the subject, "Is it because of your teeth that you don't want to eat?"
Xihe nodded dejectedly, "It's too ugly! I don't want to open my mouth."
Xiao Mingxuan changed to a more comfortable position and hugged the little girl. He pulled her hand away and carefully checked her again before he felt relieved. "It's okay. It's just normal tooth replacement. New teeth have already appeared in the empty space and will grow back soon."
"Really?" Xihe asked worriedly.
Xiao Mingxuan nodded, "It will be quick, don't be afraid."
Xihe finally felt relieved, but then she thought of the big hole again and cried, "Little brother, will it be very ugly?"
Xiao Mingxuan paused and said with a smile, "A little bit."
"You!" The little girl who was finally coaxed started crying again.
What's wrong with this guy!
Shouldn't it be said that it's not ugly?
"Little brother, I'm going to make trouble!" Xihe Mou said angrily with all his might.
"Oh? How are you going to make trouble?" Xiao Mingxuan took his hand and waited patiently.
The little girl looked left and right, and suddenly pounced towards Xiao Mingxuan. Xiao Mingxuan subconsciously stretched out his arms to catch her.
The next second, a warmth came over my cheek, accompanied by a slight stinging pain.
"Xiao Xier, you...bite me?" Xiao Mingxuan was startled by his own words, but the wet and hot feeling on his cheek clearly reminded him of what had happened.
The little girl snorted twice, turned her head away slightly arrogantly, and muttered, "Who told you to laugh at me?"
There were several teeth marks on Xiao Mingxuan's fair cheeks, which were as obvious as if the white paper had been stained.
The other party remained silent for a long time, his expression difficult to interpret. Xihe held himself together for a moment before finally giving in. "Alright, I was wrong. How about... you bite back? Let's call it a draw?"
Xiao Mingxuan's serious expression suddenly cracked, and he slapped Xihe on the butt in annoyance, "Shut up! What do you think of me?"
Bite it back?
"Then...what should I do?" Xihe hung her head. "Little brother, you're becoming increasingly difficult to appease!"
I still remember the tit-for-tat between them when they first met. After they calmed down, every time Xihe made a mistake, Xiao Mingxuan wouldn't take it too seriously as long as she apologized quickly enough.
Nowadays, we always bully her until we have bullied her enough. She is becoming more and more difficult to coax.
But we became closer.
"Oh? Do you mean I have a bad temper?" Xiao Mingxuan suddenly asked coldly.
Xihe realized the seriousness of the question. If she gave a wrong answer, she would be in big trouble today. She quickly denied it, "No! Absolutely not!"
"Hmm?" Xiao Mingxuan narrowed his eyes and asked, "Really?"
"I promise!"
Perhaps the little girl's expression was too serious, Xiao Mingxuan just smiled and moved on.
Xihe was about to change her teeth, so she could no longer eat many dishes. Xiao Mingxuan asked the secretary to clear the table of food and replace it with some light and soft meals.
The little girl watched her favorite food being taken away and stretched out her Erkang hand to keep it, but was ruthlessly pulled back by Xiao Mingxuan.
"Come, open your mouth." Xiao Mingxuan brought a bowl of hot porridge and was feeding it to the little girl mouthful by mouthful.
Xihe reluctantly opened her mouth and swallowed a mouthful of tasteless porridge, and her already depressed mood became even more depressed.
"You have to pay attention to your diet recently. If you really can't figure it out, come to me and I'll make it for you."
The food in the National Academy is unified, and everyone is treated the same, whether they are royal relatives or aristocratic families. If you don’t want to eat, you can only make it yourself.
"Little brother, can you cook?" Xihe asked.
Xiao Mingxuan hummed, "I've done this before... myself, I still remember it."
When Xiao Mingxuan first arrived in Tianshuo, the people in the palace didn't take him seriously, and lack of food and clothing was common. If Shi Jian wasn't around again, he would have to do it himself.
I still remember that he was very young at that time, unable to even reach the stove, and could only use a stool to support himself. Sometimes when he had nothing to eat, he would find some wild vegetables in the backyard of Mingyue Palace to fill his stomach.
In the long run, I managed to survive.
"Little brother, then don't do it! Let's go out to eat, okay?" Xihe suddenly grabbed Xiao Mingxuan's hands and said word by word.
After finishing a bowl of porridge, Xiao Mingxuan put down the bowl, washed his hands with a towel beside him, and said, "Don't you want to eat what I made?"
Xihe shook her head and said with a smile: "I want to eat what you cook, but... I don't want you to cook it."
Xiao Mingxuan was stunned for a moment, and muttered subconsciously: "What do you mean?"
Xihe grabbed one of Xiao Mingxuan's hands and played with it, whispering, "Because little brother has me now, you are not alone, and you won't have to live the same life as before. We can go out to eat whatever we want. I... don't want you to suffer."
I also don’t want to... see you reminiscing about the lonely look of the past.
Xiao Mingxuan was stunned for a moment, staring at Xihe with his eyes fixed. There was a storm in his eyes, as if he had thousands of words to say, but in the end it turned into a sigh.
"Xiao Xi'er, you really are..."
"What?" Xihe asked.
Xiao Mingxuan did not say anything else.
It really is...it makes people waver for you countless times.
