Chapter 113 - Bossing My Sister Around
…
It was almost eleven o"clock before Xiang Yi woke up. Sleepily, he walked out of his room, rubbing his eyes.
Outside the French windows and among the sea of flowers, Xiang Yi was tr.i.m.m.i.n.g the withered flowers and excess branches of the plants wearing a light-colored straw hat.
She was a patient person, and even if it was repeating simple tasks, she wouldn"t get impatient.
Xiang Yu felt a lump form in his throat. It really was his little sister...
Yesterday had not been a dream.
He instinctively picked up his phone and sent a message to the family group chat. Just as he was about to click send, he suddenly paused —
If his older brothers were to find out about his little sister"s secret, the crazy sis-con demons would once again appear… then would he still be able to order his sister around?
No way.
The self-acclaimed most clever member of the Xiang family, Yuyu, then decided to delete this message and swaggered into the garden arrogantly. He sat on the rocking chair next to Xiang Yi and crossed his legs, saying to his sister with the tone of a mob boss: "Sis, bring your brother a gla.s.s of water!"
Xiang Yi paused what she was doing and smiled, her eyes forming into half moons. "You"re up? Do you want to eat anything?"
Oh~!
My~sister~is~so~gentle~ah~
How could he boss her around!
Xiang Yi felt full of guilt as he leapt from the rocking chair and indifferently said, "Your legs are so short; no need for you to run. I"ll go to the kitchen and find some food myself."
"There"s a thermos of rice in the fridge, just heat it up before you eat it."
"I know, I know, women are so naggy!"
…
Xiang Yu devoured the rice in the kitchen quickly, then poured a gla.s.s of warm water for his sister with a dollop of honey.
Hmm. One more!
After evenly mixing the water, Xiang Yi happily went to look for his sister carrying the gla.s.s of honey water. When he approached her, his expression immediately changed as he stuck a hand in his pocket and arrogantly said, "Eh, poured this for you on the way."
Xiang Yi happily received the gla.s.s and took a small sip. Immediately, the flattery began. "It"s so sweet, and the temperature is perfect. Big brother, you"re the best; anything you make is just instantly amazing."
"Hmph. Of course, who am I." Xiang Yu couldn"t suppress the smile on his face, his spirits soaring to the sky. In a great mood, he s.n.a.t.c.hed the garden prunes from Xiang Yi"s hands. "See that rocking chair? Go sit in it. You work so slow I can"t watch anymore, I"ll show you your big brother"s tr.i.m.m.i.n.g speed!"
On the spot, Xiang Yu demonstrated his esport legend hand speed.
He had completely forgotten about bossing his sister around :)
…
The dull and warm day pa.s.sed by in a fleeting nature.
At eight in the evening, the stream began.
Countless viewers instantly flooded into the broadcast channel for "Two Under One Roof".
—[I"ve been squatting all day waiting for this stream! Excited!!]
—[I see s.h.i.+ Yingdi, that black s.h.i.+rt looks so good!]
—[Smog"s creamy sweats.h.i.+rt is so cute]
—[Danger!! The Little Vase has entered the kitchen. Friends, get ready to eat!!]
…
Xiang Yi tied her hair into a bun and went to check the stewed vegetables in her ca.s.serole pot.
As the cameras followed her, the lens focused on a pot of red sugar colored brine.
The duck wings, beef, eggs, s.h.i.+take mushrooms, and bean curd that had been marinating for the entire afternoon glowed a bright red. Just a glance was enough to stir one"s appet.i.te.
Xiang Yi turned off the flame, letting the vegetable soak in the broth. She quickly made some scallion noodles and a.s.sorted sides while the ca.s.serole was soaking. Remembering what Li Jianyu had instructed, she attempted to pay attention and interact with the netizens more, turning to the camera and saying warmly: "A simple and homely dinner is done, has everyone eaten dinner yet?"
— [You call this home-cooked? Sorry to disrupt you /depressed]
— [Ahhh I really want to bring a bowl to Yi mei"s home and leech her food!]
— [I"m not like you. I want to bring a tub /doge /doge]
