Chapter 12 Late Night Snack

Yin Yin murmured, "Just a popular young idol, just turned 20. He's the male lead in the movie we're currently preparing." "Do you have a photo? I want to see what type of man Little Sister likes," Qiao Xuan Pu didn't even think about eating, his face full of smiles as he eagerly asked about his beloved wife, radiating the aura of a doting mother-in-law. Yin Yin gave him a disdainful look and reluctantly took out her phone, muttering, "So gossipy." Then she handed the opened screen photo to Qiao Xuan Pu. Qiao Xuan Pu saw the picture, his eyebrows furrowed and his expression changed. He pushed his glasses up and murmured in disbelief, "What kind of taste does Little Sister have? She likes this type of guy? He's even skinnier than me. A gust of wind could blow him away. With his delicate features, I thought he was a beauty with long hair." Yin Yin sneered and hummed, "Hmph, many women nowadays like young idols." Qiao Xuan Pu looked at Yin Yin seriously and asked, "What about you?" Yin Yin didn't hesitate, "In terms of personality, I like you the most. In terms of appearance, Third Brother is the epitome of a real man..." As she spoke, Yin Yin and Qiao Xuan Pu's gazes turned to the opposite side, only to find that the person had already left and the soup was still half full. "Where's Third Brother?" Qiao Xuan Pu asked in surprise. Qiao Yi Chuan pointed upstairs, "He left with a gloomy face." Everyone looked at each other. No conclusion was reached. They discussed the new term "young idol" while eating. --- From the moment she was born, Bai Ruo Xi experienced what it meant to be a star chaser. It turned out that it was all about following and pestering them relentlessly. After finally getting off the car, she was dragged into a concert by her enthusiastic classmates. She paid half a month's salary to listen to a night of howling ghosts, watching the chaotic dance and not understanding the appeal of those possessed dances. She couldn't appreciate the chanting-like rap and hip-hop songs. The most unbearable thing was that all the girls around her went crazy, their screams almost piercing her eardrums. By the time she got home, it was already late at night. Tired and hungry, she dragged her exhausted body to the kitchen in the dark and opened the refrigerator. The refrigerator was fully stocked. She took out two slices of bread and stuffed them into her mouth before closing the refrigerator. Just as she turned around, she bumped into a wall of flesh. "Hmm?" The pain caused her to let out a soft whimper from her throat, and her heart raced in fear. She pressed herself against the refrigerator, looking up to see what kind of ghost it was. The moonlight outside the window was bright, and the light from outside illuminated the kitchen, but the figure stood with its back to the light, blocking all the light. She couldn't see the person's face clearly, but she could deduce that there were only three people in the house who were one meter eighty tall, and only one had such a well-built and solid chest, like a rock. That was the man she feared the most - Qiao Xuan Shuo. She was always nervous when she saw him during the day, and at night, he seemed even more sinister, terrifying, and extremely dangerous. Bai Ruo Xi was so scared that her legs went weak, and her whole body stiffened, unable to move. She bit down on the bread, staring at the figure in fear, like a leopard encountering a hunter in the middle of the night. If she made even the slightest movement, her neck would be snapped and she would become a meal. The man looked at her for a moment and suddenly reached out his hand. Bai Ruo Xi closed her eyes in fear, trembling and unable to move, wanting to scream but reluctant to let go of the bread in her mouth. Struggling in her heart: What does he want to do? What does he want to do? Kill and dismember her? Or beat her in the dark? Did he find out that she was following Tang Li De and wants to punish her? The man's hand touched her shoulder, and in that instant, it felt like being struck by lightning. But before she could react, her stiff body was pushed away forcefully, and the man coldly uttered a sentence. "Don't get in the way." Bai Ruo Xi was pushed forward by the rough man, stumbling a few steps and leaning against the kitchen table. Her stomach was in pain from the impact, showing that this man's roughness was extraordinary. But she also breathed a sigh of relief. So he just wanted to open the refrigerator. Bai Ruo Xi put down the bread and turned around, rubbing her stomach with one hand, watching Qiao Xuan Shuo open the refrigerator. The light from the refrigerator illuminated the room. He was wearing casual clothes, elegant and handsome, lacking a bit of majesty but with a touch of casualness. However, it didn't change his cold attitude. "Third Brother, why didn't you turn on the lights?" Bai Ruo Xi asked with a resentful tone. "Why didn't you turn them on?" Qiao Xuan Shuo took something out from inside without even looking at her. Bai Ruo Xi put on a pouty face and turned on the lights at the power switch. The spacious and magnificent kitchen instantly became bright. Bai Ruo Xi tactfully turned around and left, not daring to provoke him, nor could she afford to provoke him. Suddenly, a commanding tone came from the man, "Where's the pot? Find it." Bai Ruo Xi was taken aback, turned around, and found that Qiao Xuan Shuo had already closed the refrigerator and was standing in front of the stove with his back to her, motionless. There were only the two of them here, and Bai Ruo Xi knew that this man was asking her. But why did he ask her when the pot's location was so obvious? Bai Ruo Xi stuffed the remaining half of the bread into her mouth and walked over to hand him the frying pan. "Spatula," the man took the pan and continued to give cold orders. Bai Ruo Xi turned around again to get the spatula. "Knife, cutting board." "Oil." "Salt." "Water..." "..." Every time she tried to leave, she was called back. Bai Ruo Xi was so angry that she tore the remaining bread from her mouth and threw it into the trash can. She asked in a panting voice, "You have eyes and hands, why do you keep ordering me around? Is there anyone who tortures people like you do? If you want something, just say it all at once." Qiao Xuan Shuo didn't even listen to her words, as if he was blown away by the wind, and said indifferently, "Plate." "You..." Bai Ruo Xi clenched her teeth, he was too much... even if he pointed a gun at her head, she wouldn't help him anymore. She couldn't let him boss her around so spinelessly. The lid of the pot was lifted, and a fragrant smell wafted out. Bai Ruo Xi had just made up her mind, but her stomach betrayed her and growled. She quickly found a plate and handed it to him, her eyes fixed on the pot. The pot contained only ordinary noodles, but the color was enticing, and the aroma filled the air. There were her favorite fried eggs, at least seven or eight of them, and a pot of milky white soup made with the eggs. It had meat, vegetables, and instant noodles. In an instant, her anger disappeared, and she swallowed her saliva. "Third Brother, you cooked so much for a late-night snack. Can you finish it all?" She was hungry and had no strength left, let alone any dignity. "I can't finish it." Qiao Xuan Shuo scooped up a bowl and sat down at the small dining table next to him. This time, Bai Ruo Xi didn't wait for his command. She had already found the chopsticks and handed them over, her voice becoming gentle, "If you can't finish it, can you give me some?" Qiao Xuan Shuo took her chopsticks, as cold as an iceberg, and ignored her, eating his noodles with a cold attitude. She had already become so gentle and charming, but she didn't see any tenderness in him. She felt very hurt, very hurt. There were many people in the Qiao family who cared for her, and many who didn't like her, but no one was as cold and heartless as him, as rejecting as him. She took a deep breath, feeling very low, and whispered, "If you don't speak, I'll take it as your permission."
