After dealing with all those troublesome matters; by eleven at night, Li Miaosheng was finally able to close his stall on time.
However, his stomach was starting to feel a bit hungry; even Bai Ze, who had been dozing off beside him, was awakened by hunger.
The two food lovers looked at each other, and realizing there was an opportunity to take advantage of, Li Miaosheng immediately muttered to himself:
“Ah~~! What should I do, business was unexpectedly good today, I made quite a bit of money! Right!~ I should treat myself well…..”
“Tonight, I’ll go to the uncle’s noodle stall and have a few bowls of beef noodles!”
He spoke loudly, clearly making sure Bai Ze nearby could hear him.
“What? There’s noodles!……”
Drool immediately dripped from the little loli’s mouth; but Li Miaosheng caught this clearly and looked at her with an indescribable expression……
Noticing her own image; Bai Ze wiped the drool from her mouth and pretended she hadn’t heard anything, turning her face away.
But at this moment, he went even further:
“Ahh~~ the uncle’s beef noodles are truly something else, like the smooth and chewy noodles, the rich and fragrant broth, and most importantly, that bite of tender, flavorful beef…..”
“Wow! Just thinking about it feels amazing….. slurp slurp~”
After saying that, he still stared at Bai Ze with a punchable expression; unexpectedly, hearing this made Bai Ze somewhat tempted.
Even as she kept chanting in her mind: Don’t give in! It’s just a bowl of beef noodles, you can endure it, you are the divine beast Bai Ze!……
Seeing her wavering, Li Miaosheng stroked his chin and said softly:
“Emm~~ right now, just a small apology can get you three big bowls for free; opportunity doesn’t come twice, a limited-time special offer, only this one…….”
Before he could finish, loli Bai Ze quickly ran to his side, hugged him, and with teary eyes pleaded:
“Ah~ human, I was wrong! Please give me three big bowls; this beast is still not full, okay? sniff?”
Seeing her expression, Li Miaosheng froze for a moment, his face shifting into slight surprise before shaking his head:
“No! Not sincere enough; when apologizing, shouldn’t you show some sincerity?”
“R-really have to show it?!”
“Mm! That’s right; you need to express sincere apology to big brother, only then will I take you for a midnight snack….”
Bai Ze hesitated for a moment, then suddenly reached to lift her skirt…
But before she could lift it, Li Miaosheng quickly stopped her:
“Hey hey! I told you to apologize, why are you lifting your skirt?”
“…………. are you being a pervert??”
His expression became extremely complicated, as if he had just discovered another troublesome situation…….
Meanwhile, Bai Ze looked confused, her face flushed red as she retorted:
“N-no! You foolish human; the highest form of apology for us is to show our belly…..”
“Oh…. huh?! What the hell, are you sure that’s not being a pervert? And you’re not even wearing anything underneath, are you?”
As soon as he said that, Bai Ze’s face turned even redder, and she shouted:
“I am wearing something! Cat-patterned!”
“………………”
The scene fell into silence; words once spoken were like spilled water.
Impossible to take back……
After learning what kind of underwear this loli Bai Ze was wearing, Li Miaosheng felt nothing at all, and even smiled slightly.
He then put on a sympathetic expression and reached out to pat her head:
“Alright! Don’t say anything more, I’ll take you to eat now! I’m sorry for making things difficult for you just now, it hasn’t been easy for you these past two thousand years! Being alive until now is truly a miracle…….”
{I really am a deeply sinful man, to think I would bully someone mentally challenged, damn it~~}
The protagonist mentally slapped himself, all his guilt turning into tears that seeped from the corners of his eyes.
Leaving Bai Ze completely confused, forgetting what she was even supposed to do as she was dragged to the noodle stall.
…………
Unfortunately, by the time they arrived, the uncle was already preparing to close up.
But after their persistent pleading, he finally agreed to reluctantly keep working a bit longer.
“Sigh!~ I say, kid; why didn’t you come earlier, why wait until I was closing to show up?”
“Are you doing this on purpose to mess with me…..”
Xingtian grumbled, scratching his short hair…..
“No no no! We’re not that kind of people, huff huff! It’s so hot….”
“Mmm mmm~~” (That’s right!~)
The two answered together; the delicious noodles and rich broth made it impossible for them to stop eating, leaving them hurriedly slurping and speaking unclearly……
Seeing this, the uncle who had been annoyed earlier suddenly calmed down.
He frowned slightly and said:
“Alright, eat slower; I know you’re not, tsk! By the way, kid……..”
Li Miaosheng paused when he heard this.
“Hmm? slurp~ uncle, what’s the matter?”
“It’s nothing much; just where did you kidnap this little girl from……”
“Huh? Kidnap? What do you mean kidnap….” he asked, confused, biting off his noodles mid-sentence.
“Sigh~ you young people these days; doing bad things all the time and pretending to be clueless…..”
“I’m asking you, where did this little girl beside you come from! If you’ve done something wrong, I don’t mind helping correct your character!…..”
Li Miaosheng froze, looking awkward:
“Uncle, what are you talking about!~ This is…… this is my cousin who came to visit me a few days ago, how could she be kidnapped; hahaha~ hahaha!”
Hearing this, the uncle’s serious expression gradually eased.
Seeing how happily the little girl was eating, he figured she probably wasn’t kidnapped….. then cleared his throat:
“Is that so? That’s good!~ By the way, I have an extra bowl of tomato and egg noodles here, which of you…..”
Before he could finish, a soft, alluring voice came from not far from the stall:
“Oh! Little husband, you’re all eating here? So lively, mind if I join!”
Su Jiuli, dressed in casual clothes, smiled.
