Chapter 14: "Am I very old?"

  Chapter 14 "Am I Very Old?"

   "I'm not sleepy." Xu Youyou replied, she used to often suffer from insomnia, and she was used to it.

   "By the way, would you like to try the crab roe buns I made?" Afraid that he would ask why he didn't sleep, he cleverly changed the subject.

  She changed the topic quite abruptly, but Mo Shenbai didn't let it go, and said in a light tone: "I'm going to go for a morning run."

   "Oh." Xu Youyou pursed her pink lips, not to say she was disappointed, but it was a pity that no one shared the delicious food that she worked so hard on.

   "When I come back, if you haven't slept yet, I'll try it."

  Xu Youyou's lowered eyelids flicked up, and when she looked at him, it was as if there were stars flickering, and she said with a smile, "Okay!"

  Mo Shenbai turned around and left the kitchen for a morning run.

  Xu Youyou hadn't slept all night, her arms were sore from peeling crabs, her shoulders were stiff, and suddenly she felt less tired and more energetic.

   An hour later, Mo Shenbaichen ran back upstairs to take a shower, changed into sportswear, and sat at the dining table in a white shirt.

  Xu Youyou opened the steamer, a crab roe bun the size of a fist was steaming, and put another bowl of millet porridge in front of him, "Mr. Mo, I boiled this millet porridge for three hours, you can try it."

   Mo Shenbai took a sip, then glanced sideways at her, "Are you good at cooking?"

  The noodles cooked before, and the crab roe buns made today are all in good shape, not inferior to the professional chef he hired.

   "When I was living in the country, there was an old man next door who was a chef. I heard that his ancestors were imperial cooks. I like to lie on his stove and watch him cook when I am free."

  Mo Shenbai raised his eyebrows slightly, did not speak, and had breakfast quietly.

  Xu Youyou watched him pick up the crab roe buns, and carefully reminded: "Mr. Mo, the crab roe buns have a lot of soup, and it may be a little hot. Be careful not to splash it on your clothes."

  Mo Shenbai put down his chopsticks, turned to look at her, "Am I very old?"

   "Huh?" Xu Youyou didn't realize what he meant for a while.

   "Your brother and I are friends, logically you can also call me brother." The man's thin lips were lightly closed, and his tone was slightly cold, showing displeasure.

  Although he was almost ten years older than her, because of Xu Jialu's relationship, they were considered peers. From the first time she met to now, she called him "you" one after another, as if he was seventy or eighty years old.

  Xu Youyou choked, he didn't expect a title of honor to make him unhappy, pursed her lips lightly, and explained with a serious face: "I just want to show a kind of respect for you, after all, you—"

   After a pause, he did not continue.

   After all, you are the leader of the Mohist family, in charge of the Mohist group, and even the economic lifeline of the entire Mohist city.

  I am depending on others to ask for others, so I have to be careful.

  Mo Shenbai seemed to know what she wanted to say, and her thin lips parted slightly, "You don't have to be cautious when you live here, lest your brother think that I bullied you."

  He was just a little puzzled, how could Xu Jialu, a dog who wanted to go to heaven, have such a well-behaved sister.

   When Xu Shi mentioned his brother, Xu Youyou had a smile on his face, and his voice was sweet and waxy, "No, I will tell my brother that you are very good to me, you..."

  Mo Shenbai glanced over from the corner of the eye, Xu Youyou fell silent, and immediately changed his words after realizing it, "I will tell him that you take good care of me."

  Mo Shenbai pulled his lower lip and didn't answer, anyway, Xu Jialu wouldn't believe what she said.

  After breakfast, Mo Shenbai is going to work, and Xu Youyou is also going to school.

  Mo Shenbai's eyes fell on the pink drawing board bag on her back, as if thinking of something, he asked, "How do you go to school on weekdays?"

  As far as he knows, there is no subway near Lanyueju, and the nearest bus is three kilometers away.

   Today's two updates are over. See you tomorrow.

   Remarks: The male protagonist scolded Xu Jialugou because of his good relationship, just like today's young people want to be each other's father, just joking, not really scolding or disrespecting.
