Chapter 995 It Doesn't Matter How Much You Buy

Hearing footsteps behind him, Guangyou stopped his hands and dried them with a towel.

He turned his head to look at Xiao Ai who was walking towards the kitchen, and asked:
"Xiao Ai, aren't you going to chat with Sister Mingmei?"

Walking into the kitchen, Xiao Ai glanced at the table full of ingredients and said:

"I'm here to see if you need help."

When she said this, there was no expression on her face, she seemed very calm.

It was impossible to see that she was smiling just a few seconds ago.

In the past, Guangyou would have said "no, I can do it alone", but now he said:
"Yes, there is, but I should be able to handle it by myself."

Just a few words change, but the senses are completely different.

The former seems to express:

"You don't have to come, I can do it alone."

The latter is expressing:

"Although there are people who need help, I can actually do it by myself."

The former is slightly blunt, while the latter is more tactful.

Ignoring Guangyou's euphemistic refusal, she walked to the sink and began to wash the ingredients.

She said:
"It happens that I'm fine now."

"Come and help you."

Seeing that she had started to help, Guangyou couldn't say anything, and the speech he had just prepared was completely useless.

He nodded and said:
"alright."

"But you just need to clean these for me, and I'll do the rest."

"En." Xiao Ai replied indifferently.

"Where's Miss Mingmei?" Guangyou asked while changing the ingredients into knives, "Why don't you chat with Miss Mingmei?"

"Sister has something to do right now." Xiao Ai was busy cleaning the ingredients, and responded without raising her head.

There is indeed something, but it's just to pour a cup of milk tea for the three of them.

"Okay." Guangyou nodded, and didn't ask any further questions, just looked at Xiao Ai one more time.

The two of them didn't chat much while they were doing things.

One is cleaning the ingredients, and the other is cutting the cleaned ingredients into the desired shape and size.

Usually, the two of them often cooperate like this, and they have a tacit understanding.

After Xiao Ai finished cleaning all the ingredients, Guangyou almost prepared the ingredients.

After drying his hands with a towel, Guangyou said to Xiao Ai:

"Xiao Ai, I can do the rest by myself."

"Go and chat with Sister Mingmei."

"You two sisters haven't seen each other for a while."

And Xiao Ai still used the same reason, she asked:

"My sister has something to do now, how can I talk?"

These words made Guangyou frowned, he looked at Xiao Ai, his eyes seemed to be filled with suspicion, and asked:
"Is something really wrong?"

"En." Xiao Ai looked at Shang Guangyou without a trace of dodge.

Those icy blue eyes were like a calm lake, without a single ripple in their eyes.

If it wasn't for Guangyou's understanding of Xiao Ai's thoughts, then he might really believe it.

Under Xiao Ai's calm gaze, he walked forward and got closer to her.

Standing in front of her, Guangyou asked:

"Xiao Ai, what can Miss Mingmei do?"

Before Xiao Ai could speak, he made a random guess:
"Could Miss Mingmei go to pour some water for us?"

"No." Xiao Ai said so, but the corners of her eyebrows raised involuntarily.

This small movement was caught by Guangyou keenly, he knew it in his heart, but he still asked:
"Why do I think it is?"

He didn't expect that he guessed so casually, and he guessed right.

"That's what you think." Xiao Ai still maintained a calm expression.

Without spending too much time on such details, Guangyou said:
"OK then."

"However, Xiao Ai, you should go to the living room. Sister Mingmei is probably going to be busy soon, so go and chat with her."

"Although there is something to help, I can do it alone."

Facing Guangyou's rejection again, Xiao Ai fell into a moment of silence.

Recalling what happened last time, he stretched out his hand, gently rubbed Xiao Ai's tea hair, and said with a smile:
"Go, chat with Sister Mingmei."

"I know you want to help me, even with the little things."

"However, you two sisters haven't seen each other for a while, so you should have accumulated a lot of topics?"

"Most of the chats with text messages and emails are short-lived."

After all, you have to wait, not face to face.

Same thing, different results.

Without thinking too much like last time, Xiao Ai responded calmly:

"I didn't talk too much."

Usually Mingmei doesn't go out, so there are few topics that can be thought of.

And it is impossible for Xiao Ai to say that most of her topics are related to him.

"Whether there is a topic or not, it's good for the two sisters to be together." Guangyou said with a smile, "You can help me a lot, and this day is not bad."

"Yeah." After thinking about it for a moment, Xiao Ai said, "Then I'll prepare the dinner."

"Okay." Guangyou nodded without thinking much, "I'll prepare the lunch, and you will prepare the dinner."

Seeing that he agreed, Xiao Ai nodded, turned and left the kitchen.

Guangyou also continued to prepare lunch.

"This girl"

There was a hint of a smile on the corner of his mouth, but his tone of voice seemed a little helpless.

...

After lunch.

"Guangyou, your cooking skills are really getting better and better."

After unabashedly praising her, Ming Mei still did not forget to tease Xiao Ai:

"Zhibao will be lucky in the future."

"Actually, Xiao Ai's cooking skills are also very good." Guangyou put away the empty plate on the table and said, "Why don't I let Xiao Ai show up for dinner."

He took this opportunity to talk about Xiao Ai's dinner preparation.

Hearing this, Mingmei smiled and said:

"Well, speaking of it, I really haven't eaten much of Shiho's cooking."

In the past, it was difficult for the two sisters to meet each other, let alone have a good dinner together.

At most, I will go to a coffee shop for afternoon tea.

Naturally, she really didn't taste Xiao Ai's cuisine much.

"Her cooking skills are really good."

Just when Guangyou finished speaking and was about to take the empty bowl to the kitchen, Mingmei cast a glance at Guangyou and said at the same time:
"Let me clean up the bowl, you go to the sofa to rest for a while."

After receiving the gaze, Guangyou nodded understandingly, and said:
"OK then."

Without too much politeness, after finishing speaking, Guangyou put down the empty bowl, walked to the sofa and sat down.

He knew that Mingmei wanted to give him and create a space to be alone.

After Xiao Ai sat beside him, Guangyou picked up the bouquet of roses on the table, lowered his head and smelled the fragrance of the flowers, and said with a smile:

"Um…"

"It's really delicious."

"Actually, I originally wanted to buy 99 flowers."

"But I didn't bring enough money."

"Why do you buy so much?" Xiao Ai looked at You and asked, "Could it be that you bought it to eat?"

"Isn't this more romantic?" Guangyou said with a smile, "If it weren't for the conditions, I would have bought nine hundred and ninety-nine."

"When the time comes, I will make a love heart with roses on the grass."

"."

After trying to make up the picture of a love heart with 99 roses, the corners of Xiao Ai's lips turned up unconsciously.

However, she said:
"I don't think it's romantic, but rather wasteful."

"One or two, I can still find a vase to put them."

"Nine hundred and ninety-nine flowers. Do you want to transform my room into a rose garden?"

"I also thought of this, so I didn't buy it." Guangyou restrained his smile and said solemnly.

Looking at the twelve beautiful roses, Xiao Ai said softly:

"actually."

"It doesn't matter how much you buy."
