"Hey brother, you’re lucky today, I bought a Yellow River Carp, soone caught it themselves."
Around five o’clock, Cao Jinse arrived ho, a bit earlier than usual since it’s the weekend.
On weekdays, she rarely cos back for dinner, either socializing or making do at the company, because Cao Xiugo also eats in the Kyoto University cafeteria. But on weekends, when Cao Xiugo doesn’t teach, she usually cos back ho.
"Yes, young master, it’s a big one."
Youmao showed off the bag in her hand.
The fish wasn’t dead yet, it was indeed quite large, probably seven or eight pounds, struggling and jumping in the bag.
An average girl wouldn’t necessarily have the strength to carry it.
"Isn’t it too big to finish?"
"How couldn’t we finish it? Youmao alone can eat most of it, so there’s no need to make other dishes."
Hearing the young lady’s words, Youmao was not offended; instead, she took pride in it and clapped her hands triumphantly beside her.
"The Yellow River Carp is the finest among carp, historically a delicacy at banquets. As the Classic of Poetry says, ’What fish to eat? Only the carp of the river.’ So, brother, we have the best ingredient, now it’s your ti to shine tonight."
The Cao Family has a pretty clear division of labor.
So are responsible for buying.
So are responsible for cooking.
"*Gloop.*"
Perhaps already thinking about the upcoming taste bud delight, Youmao couldn’t help but swallow.
Cao Jinse heard that and turned her head, saying, "You little rabbit, you’re really in for a treat."
"It’s a pity soone isn’t."
Cao Jinse looked at her big brother, not understanding.
Cao Xiugo didn’t explain.
Cao Jinse didn’t think much of it, instructing Youmao, "Go get it killed first."
You can’t just be responsible for eating.
In this household, everyone has to have a part.
Youmao wasn’t lazy, and with a nod of who else but , she imdiately carried the fish towards the kitchen.
Besides eating, she was the most professional at killing things in this house.
Cao Jinse looked at the setup under the locust tree, not noticing why there were two chairs, "Brother, have you been reading the whole afternoon again?"
"Hmm."
Cao Xiugo smiled lightly: "Live and learn."
"Tut-tut."
Cao Jinse sat down where soone else previously did, "Brother, do you really want to be a big professor?"
Seeing an extra cup, Cao Jinse didn’t think much of it, naturally picking up the priceless enal teapot and poured herself a cup of cold tea.
"This cup..."
By the ti Cao Xiugo marked a page in Diary of a Madman for next reading and looked up to stop her, it was too late.
"What’s up?"
Cao Jinse was puzzled, thinking there might be sothing wrong with the tea, she looked down at the slightly yellow tea in the cup but found nothing unusual, so she took a tentative sip again.
It tasted the sa as usual.
Cao Xiugo hesitated, as if he had sothing difficult to express.
"Brother, what’s wrong with you?"
Cao Jinse asked with a puzzled smile, still holding the teacup.
Cao Xiugo hesitated for a mont but ultimately chose to tell the truth. As the big brother, he couldn’t deceive his sister, especially when they might cross paths and reveal everything.
"Just now, Jiang ca."
Cao Jinse was caught off guard, not realizing the main point, just surprised, "When?"
"He sat here for an hour or two, left around four o’clock."
Cao Jinse subconsciously turned back, looking toward the courtyard gate.
Cao Xiugo imdiately explained, "I invited him to stay for dinner, but he declined."
Cao Jinse withdrew her gaze, "Why did he co? Didn’t ssage ."
Cao Xiugo looked at her, expression slightly odd.
Cao Jinse stared back, not understanding his aning.
"He ca to see ."
"..."
Assud too much.
But after all, Princess Cao is Princess Cao, with a thick skin, under Xiugo’s gaze, she rely lowered her head and sipped the still-authentic tasting cold tea.
"What did he want with you?"
Still expressing doubt.
"To chat."
"To chat?"
"Hmm."
"The two of you chat? For more than an hour?"
Cao Jinse laughed, "What did you chat about?"
"Can’t n have sothing to talk about?"
"Brother, there’s sothing off about how that sounds."
Cao Xiugo remained calm, watching his sister almost finishing the tea, then suddenly said, "Let change your cup."
Cao Jinse was slightly stunned, puzzled, and a mont later, suddenly understood.
No wonder there were two chairs here.
Her expression froze, caught in an awkward situation, unsure whether to put the cup down or not.
The wheel of fate turns, no one escapes it.
Who told her soone just drank from her cup not long ago.
"Why didn’t you say so earlier!"
Won.
There are always so common points in certain details.
Princess Cao had nowhere to vent her frustration but to bla her big brother.
"Didn’t have ti."
Teacher Cao maintained an attitude of ’let him be, the wind breezes over the hills,’ calm and serene.
Cao Jinse was at a loss for words, amidst the awkwardness, not knowing whether to blush in front of her big brother.
Blushing seed inappropriate.
Not blushing also seed inappropriate.
"It’s okay, at least Jiang doesn’t know."
"..."
What do you an Jiang doesn’t know?
Is this sothing a brother should say?
Who’s really at a loss here?
But it also indirectly proved that Teacher Cao, being a role model, indeed discerns right from wrong. No matter who’s at a loss, it’s never soone’s responsibility.
People were simply drinking tea; you can’t accuse them of taking advantage.
"You really are my brother."
Cao Jinse finally found the opportunity to forcefully put down the cup, expressing a kind of helplessness not knowing where to vent.
"Fish is done being killed～"
Youmao ca hopping over.
