Chapter 726: Yummy
From the courtyard, Boyuan could hear Ningning chattering on the phone with his mother, so he hurried with his shower. But when he was done was.h.i.+ng his clothes, they were about to end the call.
Just as he was about to stop them, there was a knock on the door:
“Uncle Boyuan, it’s us.”
When he opened the door, it was indeed Ye Hao and his son s.h.i.+ Tou. Baffled, he asked, “Is there… anything you need?”
Ye Hao waved the plastic bag in his hand, “I’m here to deliver this. This was specially prepared by our host. Did you just take a shower?”
Boyuan grunted in acknowledgement and moved aside to invite them in, “Come in.”
Ningning did not know that s.h.i.+ Tou had come. He had just ended the call with his mom and was still feeling euphoric. He did not notice s.h.i.+ Tou who had run in ahead of the rest until s.h.i.+ Tou said, “Hey Ningning, what are you doing?”
Hearing s.h.i.+ Tou’s voice, Ningning sat up on the bed immediately, blinking his eyes in succession and waving his little hands in front of his eyes, as if not believing his eyes, “s.h.i.+ Tou?”
“Yes it’s true, I’m here! I’m real, if you don’t believe, you can touch me,” s.h.i.+ Tou laughed and sat at the edge of the bed.
Ningning not only reached out to touch s.h.i.+ Tou’s face, but he also pinched it a few times.
“s.h.i.+ Tou, does it hurt?” he asked.
s.h.i.+ Tou was dumbfounded. If Ningning wanted to ascertain that he was not dreaming, shouldn’t he pinch himself instead?
He suddenly laughed in amus.e.m.e.nt as he realized that the cunning Ningning wouldn’t pinch himself as it would hurt. Fortunately, s.h.i.+ Tou was a magnanimous boy.
Boyuan and Ye Hao came in right behind s.h.i.+ Tou and naturally saw everything.
Ye Hao burst into laughter:
“Hahaha, Boyuan, your son takes after you!” he joked.
Boyuan raised his eyebrows and thought to himself, “Of course! Ningning is my son!”
He walked to the wall and pulled out a stool, “Sit,” he told Ye Hao.
Ye Hao smiled as he sat down. He casually placed the plastic bag on the table, “Our host planted it himself. He just brought out a box of these from the cellar.”
“Do the rest have this too?”
“Yes, they all have it.” Ye Hao thought to himself, “Come on! I’m an adult, not a child, I know when to be diplomatic, okay? If I send this to you only, I would have offended the rest. And who knew what the viewers would say when this is aired.”
Boyuan opened the plastic bag and took a look. Wow, what big and red apples.
These were planted manually, so they were all pure and natural.
“Thank you.”
Ye Hao waved his hand, “Don’t mention it. There are so many, s.h.i.+ Tou and I won’t be able to finish them.” He couldn’t possibly let them spoil, right?
Ningning saw the big red apples and salivated.
Boyuan knew Ningning wanted to eat the apples.
“Ningning, are you thinking of eating the apples?”
“Yes, I’m thinking…” Ningning swallowed several times.
“Then keep thinking. There’s no knife to peel them.”
What? How could this be?
s.h.i.+ Tou quickly said, “We have it in our room, I’ll go get it!”
However, he was stopped by Boyuan, “s.h.i.+ Tou, there’s no need. He ate quite a lot tonight. It’s not good for him to eat anymore.”
If Ningning ate too much, he would feel bloated and uncomfortable.
“Alright,” s.h.i.+ Tou said, and looked sympathetically at Ningning, “Let’s eat them tomorrow. We still have a lot of it in our room. If you like them, I’ll give them all to you.”
Ningning pouted, feeling aggrieved.
