Not fishy at all, so tender and smooth...
So delicious...
Who knew that even cold fish soup could be so tasty.
"Wow... this fish soup is so good even when cold, it must be a delicacy when hot!"
She couldn’t help but grab the takeout bowl and start eating voraciously.
"Hey, hey, hey, Weiyi, don’t just focus on eating by yourself! Save so for and Qiumo too!"
For a mont, Lin Yiran and Xia Weiyi were competing over the soup.
A short while.
The nourishing fish soup was divided among the three of them.
Xia Weiyi smacked her lips, still craving more, and said, "Qiumo, at noon tomorrow, ask your Haozi to save us a few bowls of nourishing fish soup, so that even if we go after class, we can have the delicious fish soup right away."
"Yes, yes, Qiumo, ask your Haozi to save a few bowls for and Weiyi! Please, please!" Lin Yiran clasped her hands together and pouted, pleading with her.
"I..."
Shen Qiumo’s face showed a hint of embarrassnt.
Her two roommates noticed it.
"Qiumo, if it’s difficult, forget it, we can line up to buy it ourselves."
Xia Weiyi walked up next to Shen Qiumo with a smile and inquired, "Qiumo, are you and that Haozi boyfriend and girlfriend now?"
"He and I haven’t officially determined our relationship, I don’t even know if we’re considered boyfriend and girlfriend!"
Xia Weiyi: "..."
Lin Yiran: "..."
Not determined yet?
Then at most, they’re just ambiguous, huh~
With so romantic experience, Xia Weiyi analyzed for her, "Is he purposely keeping you hanging?"
"I’m telling you, this is a typical tactic of a jerk, keeping you dangling while having another girlfriend. You, ah! You’re the so-called backup."
"Weiyi, don’t scare ! Are the standards for backups so high now? Does that an I don’t even qualify as a backup?!" Lin Yiran wore a face of "questioning life."
Shen Qiumo: "..."
Yikes~
What a ss!
With what they said, her mind was even more of a jumble.
But what she was sure of was.
He was definitely not stringing her along.
Nor was she the so-called backup.
As for why he hadn’t confessed yet, it must be for a reason...
She’s willing to wait longer!
...
Outside the window, the stars were twinkling, and the night view was enchanting.
Huang Tao took a towel and wrapped it around Xuanxuan, who had just finished her bath, trying to use it to soak up the water droplets left on her body.
Xuanxuan stood obediently, letting her dad help her dry off.
"Co on, let’s put on pajamas."
Huang Tao put the prepared pajamas on her.
It was a pink Peppa Pig pajama set, which she picked herself, and it was one of her favorites.
"Hmm, you’ve put on lotion, ti to sleep now..."
He finished applying her face cream, carried her to the bedroom.
Placed her gently on the bed.
He turned on the small lamp on the bedside table, then pulled the small blanket over Xuanxuan.
Xuanxuan obediently closed her eyes.
But after a while, she opened them again, pouted, and said, "Daddy, I can’t sleep now."
"Then... how about Daddy tells you a bedti story?" Huang Tao rembered he hadn’t recited a bedti story for her for a while, a pang of guilt arose in his heart.
Her eyes curved as she excitedly said, "Yes, yes!"
She loved hearing her dad tell stories.
In the past, every night before bed, her dad would tell her a bedti story, then she’d fall asleep amidst his stories, slowly drifting into dreamland.
But since her dad opened the shop, she hadn’t heard him tell bedti stories anymore.
She knew it wasn’t that her dad didn’t want to tell stories but that he was too tired...
To let her dad have more ti to rest, she quietly read picture books on her own, never actively asking her dad to tell stories.
So when she heard her dad say he’d tell a story, she was overjoyed~
But also worried that her dad might be too tired!
"Dad, if you’re tired, Xuanxuan can read picture books by herself."
Her sensible deanor made his heart ache.
He sat down beside Xuanxuan, gently stroking her hair: "Daddy’s not tired, with your Aunt Suqin and Uncle Haozi helping, Daddy is much more relaxed now, in the future, Daddy will try to make more ti to be with you."
"Hmm~"
Xuanxuan nodded like a pecking chick, her little body snuggling closer to dad, resting her head on his belly, ready to listen to Dad’s bedti story.
"Ahem!"
Huang Tao opened his bedti storybook, cleared his throat, lowered his voice, and began the story: "In a nest lived two baby birds, one nad Chirp and the other nad Cheep, their stomachs were growling ’grumble grumble,’ but mommy hadn’t brought food ho yet..."
Xuanxuan listened quietly, slowly getting absorbed by her dad’s narrative.
Her big blinking eyes were full of worry and urgency: "Daddy, when will mommy bird co back? What if mommy bird doesn’t co back? Will the baby birds go hungry!"
Huang Tao gently patted her little head: "Don’t worry, mommy bird will co back to feed the baby birds once she catches a worm."
The story got interrupted by the little one, and Huang Tao continued: "After a while, mommy bird ca back, with a big worm in her beak, Chirp and Cheep stretched their necks and opened their mouths eagerly, saying: ’Mommy, give , give ,’ in the end, Chirp got the worm, Cheep cried out harder: ’I want it too, I want it too,’ mommy bird said: ’Okay, mommy will go catch another worm for you to eat now...’"
