"Am I that bad?" Shi Hao pushed open the door, holding a tray in his hand, and stood in the doorway.
"Sorry, I didn't close the door," Shi Xi whispered in Mi Rou's ear, but her eyes darted around.
"You're acting on impulse. You did it on purpose."
"Xiao Xi, I just made this soup. Drink some before you go to sleep! Don't worry, I used only healthy ingredients, it won't make you fat." Shi Hao placed the tray on the table, picked up the bowl, and handed it to Shi Xi.
This nourishing soup contains spring scallions, which should be beneficial to Xiaoxi's health.
"Thank you, brother. As long as it's made by you, I'll drink it even if it makes me gain 20 pounds."
Shi Xi took a sip, savoring it slowly. The taste was so familiar. "Big brother, why does this soup... taste like Chun Sheng?"
"I put a scallion in the soup. Do you know what a scallion is?"
“I know, Xiao Xiao made me a mango mille-feuille with Chun Sheng in it. Big brother, did you go to the black market to buy Chun Sheng?” Shi Xi’s heart was touched, no, very touched.
"No, I just happened to be there on business and bought a Spring Growth plant. Di Chenxiao has Spring Growth plants, so you should eat more of them in the future."
Shi Xi: "..."
Eat more? Spring scallions are a great tonic; eating too much might cause nosebleeds!
She simply stayed on the sidelines, quietly drinking her soup and watching the show.
Shi Hao slowly approached Mi Rou, "Mi Rou, let's continue with the question we just discussed. Am I really that bad?"
Mi Rou lowered her head guiltily, "How much did you hear?"
"Not much, all I heard was you saying how terrible I am!"
"I... I felt I wasn't good enough for you. Your sister wanted to introduce me to you as your girlfriend, and I didn't know how to refuse, so... I said bad things about you. Actually, those weren't my true feelings." It was good that she hadn't heard the main part; otherwise, the person in front of her was Shi Xi's older brother, and how would she face him in the future?
"At least you have some self-awareness, knowing you're not good enough for me. So what's your honest opinion?" Shi Hao looked expressionlessly at the woman who was different each time they met.
The first time they met, she pointed a gun at him; the second time, she seemed preoccupied; the third time, she became addicted to feigning weakness.
He heard everything from outside the door, but he didn't want to break the silence. He wanted to see how the woman pointing a gun at him would react and what she would do next.
He knew that Shi Xi had been hurt by this woman, which is why she made him apologize to Shi Xi that day.
Shi Han probably knew that Xiao Xi was injured, which is why he said those things at the gate.
But did Shi Han also go to the black market?
Mi Rou suppressed her anger. What did she mean by having self-awareness? She couldn't even tell that Mi Rou was talking nonsense. Her brain was really not up to par.
"My true feelings aren't important. What's important is, what did you mean just now? Did you fall in love with me at first sight? People care about the true feelings of the person they like. Am I right, Young Master Shi?"
"Narcissistic? We've only met once and exchanged a few words. Do you think you have some kind of natural beauty that makes people fall in love at first sight?"
“You’re right. I may not be naturally beautiful, but I do remember who struck up a conversation with me first.” Mi Rou crossed her arms and turned away from Shi Hao.
What's with the act of feigning weakness?
I'm not pretending anymore!
"I felt sorry for you, walking aimlessly with your head down, like a little rabbit that couldn't find its way home, so pitiful."
"You're the little rabbit, you're the pitiful one, your whole family are little rabbits."
