Chapter 79: Let people waver for you countless times

Shishu served dinner, but Xihe didn't move his chopsticks for a long time. He just curled up in a ball, sullen and silent.

"What's wrong? Not to your liking?"

The dishes ordered by Xiao Mingxuan were all Xihe's favorites, but the little girl didn't even pick up the chopsticks. Was she tired of eating them?

A little head popped out from his arms, revealing Xihe's slightly sad expression.

"Feeling uncomfortable?" Xiao Mingxuan asked again.

Xihe pursed his lips, shook his head, and still said nothing.

Xiao Mingxuan frowned slightly, "What's the matter? Speak!"

Xihe was about to open his mouth, but suddenly changed his mind and closed his slightly opened mouth again. He covered his mouth with both hands, looking pitiful.

In just a moment, Xiao Mingxuan's eyes changed and he asked, "What's wrong with your mouth?"

"Nothing!" Xihe covered his mouth and mumbled a few words indistinctly.

Xiao Mingxuan didn't believe a word of it. He put down his chopsticks, stood up and picked up a little quail in his arms.

"Open your mouth, let me see what's going on."

The little girl shook her head like a rattle and refused to let go.

"Zhao Xihe!" Xiao Mingxuan's tone changed, and it became quite sharp. "Be obedient and open your mouth."

Xiao Mingxuan didn't often call her by her full name, and once he did, it meant he was angry.

The little girl reluctantly let go of her hand, and her whole body was like a drowned rat, listless and listless.

"Open your mouth." Xiao Mingxuan said lightly.

The little girl was afraid that the big bad wolf would get angry again, so she opened her mouth obediently, and the holes between her teeth appeared clearly in front of the wolf.

Xiao Mingxuan was stunned for a moment, then suddenly laughed out loud, "So it's about changing teeth."

Hearing the other person's laughter, Xihe glared at him and covered his mouth with his hand, "Don't laugh!"

Xiao Mingxuan tilted his head and hid the smile on his lips.

Xihe covered her mouth and complained, "Wow, you are as bad as your sister! You are all laughing!"

She had lost a tooth, and Zhao Siyuan made her laugh for most of the day.

Xiao Mingxuan didn't admit it and quietly changed the subject, "Is it because of your teeth that you don't want to eat?"

Xihe nodded with a depressed look, "It's too ugly! I don't want to open my mouth."

Xiao Mingxuan changed to a more comfortable position and hugged the little girl. He pulled her hand down and checked her carefully again before he felt relieved. "It's okay. It's just normal tooth replacement. New teeth have already appeared in the empty space. They will grow back soon."

"Really?" Xihe asked worriedly.

Xiao Mingxuan nodded, "It will be quick, don't be afraid."

Xihe was relieved at this moment, but then he thought about the big hole again and cried, "Little brother, will it be ugly?"

Xiao Mingxuan paused and said with a smile: "A little bit."

"You!" The little girl who was finally coaxed started crying again.

What's wrong with this guy!

Shouldn't it be said that it's not ugly?

"Little brother, I'm going to make trouble!" Xihe gathered all his strength and said angrily.

"Oh? How are you going to make trouble?" Xiao Mingxuan took his hand and waited calmly.

The little girl looked left and right, and suddenly pounced towards Xiao Mingxuan. Xiao Mingxuan subconsciously stretched out his arms to catch her.

The next second, I felt a warmth on my cheek, accompanied by a slight tingling sensation.

"Xiao Xi'er, you...bite me?" Xiao Mingxuan was startled by his own words, but the hot and wet touch on his cheek reminded him clearly what happened. The little girl snorted twice, turned her head away slightly arrogantly, and muttered, "Who told you to laugh at me!"

There were several teeth marks on Xiao Mingxuan's fair cheek, which were particularly obvious, as if the white paper had been stained.

The other party didn't speak for a long time, and his expression was hard to understand. Xihe held himself back for a while before giving in. "Okay, I was wrong, how about... you bite back? Let's call it even?"

Xiao Mingxuan's serious expression suddenly cracked, and he slapped Xihe on the butt in annoyance, "Shut up! What do you think of me?"

Bite back?

"Then...what should I do?" Xihe hung her head, "Little brother, you are becoming more and more difficult to comfort!"

I still remember the tit-for-tat between the two when they first met. After they calmed down, every time Xihe made a mistake, Xiao Mingxuan would not take it too seriously as long as he apologized quickly enough.

Nowadays, we have to bully her every time and not stop until we have bullied her enough. She is becoming more and more difficult to coax.

But we became closer.

"Oh? Do you mean I have a bad temper?" Xiao Mingxuan suddenly asked coldly.

Xihe realized the seriousness of the question. If he gave a bad answer, he would be in big trouble today. He quickly denied it, "No! Absolutely not!"

"Hmm?" Xiao Mingxuan narrowed his eyes and asked, "Really?"

"I promise!"

Perhaps it was because the little girl's expression was too serious, Xiao Mingxuan just smiled and moved on.

Xihe was about to change her teeth, so she could no longer eat many dishes. Xiao Mingxuan asked the secretary to clear all the dishes on the table and replace them with some light and soft meals.

The little girl watched her favorite food being taken away and stretched out her Erkang hand to keep it, but was ruthlessly pulled back by Xiao Mingxuan.

"Come, open your mouth." Xiao Mingxuan brought a bowl of hot porridge and was feeding it to the little girl mouthful by mouthful.

Xihe opened his mouth reluctantly and swallowed a mouthful of tasteless porridge. His already depressed mood became even more depressed.

"You have to pay attention to your diet recently. If you really can't figure it out, come to me and I'll make it for you."

The diet in the National Academy is unified, and everyone is treated the same regardless of whether they are royal relatives or aristocratic families. If you don’t want to eat, you can only make it yourself.

"Little brother, can you cook?" Xihe asked.

Xiao Mingxuan said “hmm”, “I have done this before…I still remember it.”

When Xiao Mingxuan first came to Tianshuo, the people in the palace didn't take him seriously, and it was common for him to be short of food and clothing. If Shi Jian wasn't around again, he would have to do it himself.

I still remember that he was very young at that time and couldn't even reach the stove, so he could only use a stool. Sometimes when he had nothing to eat, he would find some wild vegetables in the backyard of Mingyue Palace to fill his stomach.

In the long run, he survived.

"Brother, then don't do it! Let's go out to eat, okay?" Xihe suddenly grabbed Xiao Mingxuan's hands and said word by word.

After finishing a bowl of porridge, Xiao Mingxuan put down the bowl, washed his hands with a towel beside him, and said, "Don't you want to eat what I made?"

Xihe shook her head and said with a smile: "I want to eat what you cook, but... I don't want you to cook it."

Xiao Mingxuan was stunned for a moment, and murmured subconsciously: "What do you mean?"

Xihe grabbed one of Xiao Mingxuan's hands and played with it, whispering, "Because you have me now, little brother, you are not alone, and you won't live the same life as before. We can go out to eat anything we want, I... don't want you to suffer."

I also don’t want to... see you reminiscing about the lonely look in the past again.

Xiao Mingxuan was stunned for a moment, his eyes fixed on Xihe, a storm flowing in his eyes, as if he had thousands of words to say, but in the end it turned into a sigh.

"Xiao Xi'er, you really are..."

"What?" Xihe asked.

Xiao Mingxuan did not say anything else.

It really is...it makes people waver for you countless times.
