Ye Shuang could only let Bai Yuyou stick close to him like this, as her attention was now fully on the stove.
Steam was still rising from the pot. The oil from the fried eggs was fully emulsified by the hot water, gradually making the soup thick and white. After Ye Shuang added the loofah, he also put in a bit of salt and monosodium glutamate.
If some meat were added, it would be perfect.
Unfortunately, he couldn't add any, because Ye Shuang didn't have any meat on hand and could only rely on salt and monosodium glutamate to season it.
Generally speaking, in provinces like Guangfu, people don't add monosodium glutamate when making soup. Once you add it, your grandma will rap your head with a soup ladle and scold,
"Are you out of your mind? Eating monosodium glutamate causes cancer."
And then throw away the monosodium glutamate you secretly bought.
But actually, normal use of monosodium glutamate doesn't cause cancer. It was just a rumor spread by foreign chicken bouillon manufacturers in order to break into the domestic market. Moreover, nowadays, if you randomly buy a bottle of chicken bouillon, monosodium glutamate is often the first ingredient on the list.
It can only be said that this kind of business battle decades ago had a rather significant impact in an era when information was not well - developed.
Rather than monosodium glutamate, the truly terrifying thing has always been the human heart.
Recalling his previous experiences, Ye Shuang silently sighed in his heart.
After preparing the meal, Ye Shuang placed everything on the table. Bai Yuyou sat on the chair, looking at the two dishes and one soup he had made for her, and was at a loss while holding the chopsticks.
"What's wrong? Weren't you hungry just now?" Ye Shuang asked when he saw that Bai Yuyou wasn't moving her chopsticks.
"I can't eat." Bai Yuyou said.
Ye Shuang was taken aback for a moment, then joked, "What, are you afraid I put poison in it?"
Bai Yuyou shook her head and said, "Anyone who eats with me will have bad luck. I can't eat first."
The smile on Ye Shuang's face gradually faded, and then he asked in a serious tone, "Who told you that?"
Bai Yuyou still had no expression on her face and just answered in a low voice, "My classmates in the class."
Then, she added, "Everyone says so."
Ye Shuang was silent for a few seconds, then he pinched his aching forehead. After that, he pulled up a chair and sat beside Bai Yuyou. "They're all talking nonsense. Now we believe in science. A beautiful girl like you can only bring good luck to people."
"Good luck?"
"Yes, eat." Ye Shuang picked up a piece of cucumber and put it in the girl's bowl. "If you don't believe it, time will tell you the answer."
Bai Yuyou picked up the cucumber in her bowl, looked at it for a while, then turned to look at the man beside her. "How long will it take?"
"Maybe just one second. My good luck might have already started." Ye Shuang smiled and then urged,
"Come on, quickly eat this scrambled eggs with tomatoes. It's perfect on top of the rice."
Hearing this, Bai Yuyou put the cucumber in her mouth. The simple taste of salt mixed with the flavor of the wok was surprisingly delicious.
Then she scooped up a spoonful of scrambled eggs with tomatoes mixed with rice.
"Delicious."
"I'm glad you like it." Ye Shuang just watched her eat with a smile, as if observing a small animal.
Suddenly, Bai Yuyou raised her eyes and asked, "Will you leave here?"
Ye Shuang was taken aback by this question, but still replied, "Of course. We can't live together forever."
"Is it because there isn't enough money?" Bai Yuyou asked. "I still have money. I'll give it all to you."
"It's not about the money. You'll understand these things later."
After Ye Shuang said this, he noticed that Bai Yuyou lowered her head. Although she still had the same expression, he somehow felt the girl's disappointed mood, and even her previously expressionless eyes dimmed a bit.
"You want to be with me all the time?" Ye Shuang asked.
Bai Yuyou didn't speak, just nodded slightly.
"Why? We've known each other for less than a day."
"I don't know..." Bai Yuyou said in a low voice.
Seeing that the other party couldn't express her true thoughts, Ye Shuang subconsciously reached out and placed his hand on her head. He said slowly in a gentle tone,
"Don't worry too much about the future. When you've experienced some things, the scenery you see will be different from before."
Bai Yuyou kept her head down, and her hair fell on the dining table, as smooth as silk.
"These two days happen to be the weekend. You don't have to go to school, right? How about we go out for a stroll this afternoon?" Ye Shuang said with a smile when he saw that Bai Yuyou was in a bad mood.
"Stroll?"
"Yeah, to buy some daily - wear clothes. It seems like you only have a school uniform." Ye Shuang continued when he saw that the girl was a bit interested.
Bai Yuyou nodded, and her mood finally improved a bit.
After lunch, looking at the clean plates and soup bowls, Ye Shuang realized he had underestimated one thing -
Bai Yuyou had an extremely large appetite. She ate three big bowls of rice without changing her expression and even seemed a bit unsatisfied... until Ye Shuang gave her his half - bowl of rice.
"How many packs of instant noodles do you eat in one meal when you buy such a big pack?" Ye Shuang suddenly asked, as if remembering something.
Bai Yuyou just blinked. "Don't you soak them all together?"
Good grief... She eats a whole big pack at once?!
Ye Shuang looked at the girl's abdomen and found it was still as flat as before.
Could this girl be the reincarnation of a Snorlax?
When Bai Yuyou noticed Ye Shuang looking at her stomach, she pulled up her clothes, revealing her smooth abdomen. "Do you want to see this?"
Ye Shuang immediately pulled her clothes down and told her, "Don't do this next time, especially in front of boys."
"Why?"
"No reason." Ye Shuang said. He felt that if he wanted to see any part of her body, this girl would take it off without hesitation.
"Oh..."
Soon it was afternoon, and Ye Shuang took Bai Yuyou out directly.
Bai Yuyou was still wearing her school uniform and followed behind Ye Shuang.
There were quite a lot of people on the street in the afternoon. With the honking of passing cars, it was very lively.
However, Ye Shuang noticed that Bai Yuyou became even more taciturn. Her expressionless face combined with her cold demeanor gave people an indescribable sense of distance.
But Ye Shuang knew that Bai Yuyou wasn't aloof. She was just simply not used to crowded places. Even to try to calm herself down, her slightly furrowed brows made her look as if she was angry.
Still, many passers - by cast their glances over, after all, Bai Yuyou's looks combined with her unique temperament were really eye - catching. At least among the girls Ye Shuang knew, she was at the top - level, without a doubt.
"If you feel uncomfortable, just hold onto my clothes." Ye Shuang said.
Hearing this, Bai Yuyou stretched out her slender, white - as - scallion fingers and slightly pinched the corner of Ye Shuang's clothes.
As if there was some special magic, her mood calmed down a lot at this moment, but her body got even closer.
At the same time, this scene attracted even more people's attention, but Ye Shuang didn't care. He led the girl towards a nearby clothing store.
