“The noodles have just been cooked. They’re still warm.”
‘As she spoke, she picked up a mouthful of noodles and cautiously brought it to his mouth.
Youyou’s gaze fell on the bowl of noodles and he suddenly raised his hand. Thinking that he was going to knock over the bowl of noodles, Yun Shishi instinctively retracted her hand a little. However, the boy suddenly reached out to straighten the bowl.
It turned out that her bowl was a little tilted and the contents were on the verge of spilling over.
Yun Shishi calmed down a little. Then, she saw that Youyou had very cooperatively taken a mouthful of the noodles and was no longer showing any resistance!
It was such an emotional moment for her that her hands started shaking!
She could not believe that the boy had really accepted her!
If it had not been for Mu Yazhe and Gong Jie, she would have thought that Youyou was eating only because he was hungry.
The boy had knocked over the bowls of noodles that both Gong Jie and Mu Yazhe had brought him. It was only when she fed him that he ate and did not show signs of resistance.
Did that mean that he had completely accepted her? She was greatly encouraged! Even though he did not speak or even look at her, the fact that he was willing to eat what she fed him really cheered her up!
Halfway through, the boy lowered his head and refused to eat anymore.
Yun Shishi tried to persuade him again. “Youyou, have another bite! If you eat this little, you’ll be hungry tonight!”
Youyou looked at her intently for a long time before he finally relented and took another bite. When he finished the noodles, she asked him if he wanted some soup. When he shook his head, she looked surprised. Wasn’t the food too dry without the soup?
Nevertheless, she was grateful enough that he finished the noodles, hence she did not wish to ask for too much. Putting away the bowl, she asked, “Was it delicious?”
She expected that he would remain silent like before, but Youyou suddenly spoke. He remarked icily, “It tasted awful.”
Yun Shishi was shaken. She picked up the bowl of noodles and took a sip of the soup. It was so salty that her brow immediately creased!
So salty!? How could he even eat it?! She suddenly felt a little guilty. Just how much willpower did it take for him to finish all that disgusting noodles?!
She burst out laughing as she looked at Youyou and said guiltily, “I’m so sorry that it tastes so awful!”
Youyou was stunned when he saw her laughing. When she smiled, she looked very beautiful and charming. This was especially so when he noticed that she gave him an inexplicable sense of warmth! Just like the warmest sunlight in winter.
The boy’s cold and stiff lips relaxed a little on reflex. But when Yun Shishi looked at him again, his icy expression had returned. He looked away, refusing to make further eye contact.
‘When Yun Shishi walked out with the almost empty bowl, Mu Yazhe and Gong Jie crowded around her. Seeing that there was only soup left in the bowl, they were so shocked that their jaws dropped!
“He ate all of it?”
“Uh huh!”
Gong Jie was immediately displeased. “That’s unfair! Why did this brat knock over the noodles that Brother-in-law and I brought in?!”
Unable to contain his annoyance, Mu Yazhe glared at him and said, “Shut up.”
“That’s a fact,” Gong Jie said.
‘Mu Yazhe changed the subject. “Anyway, it’s always a good thing he’s willing to eat, no matter who feeds him.”
Yun Shishi nodded, tears welling in her eyes. She wiped them away with her fingers and smiled.
This meant that Youyou was starting to accept her! This was indeed a breakthrough to be proud of! It was no mean feat..
