Chapter 111 A Delicious Taste
What do they mean? Are they mocking her for never having eaten good food?
Out of anger, I lost control of my strength, and the half-piece of pastry in my hand crumbled into pieces and fell to the ground.
Lin Bao exclaimed in surprise, "Oh dear! How could you be like this?"
“My mother kindly gave you some pastries, how could you crush them and throw them on the ground?”
"If you don't like it, you can leave it there and not eat it. Nobody's forcing you!"
Lin Bao walked over and picked up all the pastry crumbs from the ground. Staring at the pastries mixed with dirt, he said with heartache, "I know this isn't very tasty, but even if it isn't, it was bought with money. How can you waste something like this?"
“This is something my mother herself wouldn’t eat, and you’re wasting it like this. I have to clean this up right away, or my mother will be heartbroken when she comes out and sees it.”
Lin's mother came out of the kitchen with a spatula in her hand and saw her son carrying something in his hands as he walked out. Then she heard what her son was saying.
She glanced at the table and, sure enough, there was only an empty plate and a bowl on it, and the empty plate was completely empty.
Lin's mother didn't say anything, or even make a sound, before turning around and going back to the kitchen.
Gu Jiao'er wanted to speak, but Lin Bao didn't give her a chance to open her mouth. Lin Cai sat to the side and watched the whole process, and almost couldn't help but laugh.
Her third brother is so funny, especially since she just saw her mother come out of the kitchen.
Mother in the kitchen must have heard what Third Brother said. She came out to look but didn't say anything. She probably knows something too.
Lin Bao's actions left Gu Jiao'er so angry she dared not vent her anger. She sat there with her hands clenched, watching Lin Bao walk out while talking.
They didn't even notice that Lin's mother had just come out of the kitchen.
Lin Bao left, leaving only Lin Cai and Gu Jiao'er in the main room. Since Gu Jiao'er was still there, Lin Cai asked with a smile, "Have you taken a fancy to Gu Zhan?"
Perhaps because Lin Cai asked the question suddenly, Gu Jiao'er didn't react for a moment. After she realized what Lin Cai had asked, she glared at Lin Cai.
"none of your business."
"Gu Jiao'er, get your facts straight and know where you are right now."
Talking back to her at her house? This girl must be out of her mind.
“I didn’t come here voluntarily…” Gu Jiao’er stopped looking at Lin Cai.
She was telling the truth; she didn't come voluntarily.
Upon hearing this, Lin Cai immediately laughed: "Heh, you didn't come here voluntarily, so what are you doing sitting here?"
If you didn't come voluntarily, then why don't you hurry up and leave? Are you sitting here waiting for drinks or food?
"You... I won't leave..." She didn't come here voluntarily; she just wanted to stay and wouldn't leave.
This time, Lin Cai really found it hilarious and was surprised by Gu Jiao'er's shamelessness.
Lin Bao came in from outside and heard what Gu Jiao'er said. He looked at Gu Jiao'er in shock and said, "Gu Er Ya, when did your skin become so thick?"
Gu Erya was Gu Jiao'er's previous name. Because she didn't like the name, she had it changed.
Hearing Lin Bao call out that name again, Gu Jiao'er's expression changed, and she stood up from the stool.
Just then, Lin's mother came out of the kitchen carrying two bowls. Seeing Gu Jiao'er standing up, she went to Lin Cai.
He placed both bowls on a stool next to Lin Cai and said, "Didn't you say you were hungry? Hurry up and eat."
The voice was a bit fierce. Lin Cai turned around and looked at the bowl, which contained steamed egg custard and a bowl of pan-fried tofu.
The steamed egg custard is topped with sesame oil, and the pan-fried tofu is also deep-fried, making it look very appetizing and smell especially delicious.
Lin Bao's mouth watered when he smelled it.
Gu Jiao'er, who had stood up, didn't know whether to leave or sit down, so she just stood there looking at Lin's mother.
After Lin's mother finished speaking, she turned around as if she had just noticed Gu Jiao'er, and then said, "Oh dear, look at my eyes! So the young lady is still here!"
"Young lady, are you hungry? Would you like to..." Before she could finish speaking, Lin's mother seemed to have just noticed the empty plate on the table.
"You've finished all the pastries, so it seems you're not hungry anymore. Please sit down for a while, and I'll come back to teach this brat a lesson after I've finished cleaning up the kitchen."
"They're dragging me into this again," Lin Bao rolled his eyes unhappily. Watching his mother go back into the kitchen, he glared fiercely at Gu Jiao'er.
"Gu Erya, stop daydreaming. My mother will never help you."
Although Lin Bao didn't explain it clearly, Gu Jiao'er understood what he meant. She looked up at Lin Bao and said, "How will you know if you don't try?"
This was definitely a provocation, and a face-to-face one at that. Lin Cai's gaze darted back and forth between the two of them as she ate her delicious food.
She said that someone wasn't telling the truth, and it seems that they really weren't, otherwise why would these two be speaking in riddles now?
The aroma of the steamed egg custard was so enticing, and being in the same room, Lin Bao couldn't resist the scent any longer. He shamelessly approached Lin Cai.
"Little sister, does the steamed egg custard smell good?"
Lin Cai glanced at him, then took a spoonful: "It's made with eggs, and Mom even added sesame oil. Don't you think it smells good?"
"Third brother doesn't know! I've only smelled it but haven't tasted it. Why don't you let third brother try it and see if it smells good?"
This coaxing tone almost made Lin Cai laugh. Looking at the pitiful Lin Bao, she handed him her untouched half of the steamed egg custard.
"I'm full, I can't eat anymore, but you can have a taste!"
Seeing the bowl being handed to him, Lin Bao quickly took it. Although he often ate meat, he couldn't eat steamed egg custard as often.
So sometimes when he sees something, he gets hungry, but his mother says it's for his younger sister, so he has to resist.
The brother and sister shared a bowl of steamed egg custard, while Gu Jiao'er, smelling the aroma, inwardly complained that her mother hadn't made another bowl.
Knowing there were guests at home, they only made one bowl; that's really stingy.
But even though she was angry, she could only watch and dared not do anything. After Lin's mother went into the kitchen, she seemed to have endless things to do and did not come out for a long time.
The brother and sister over there were too busy eating to pay any attention to her. Gu Jiao'er couldn't stand it any longer, so she grabbed her headscarf and ran out.
The two siblings, who were still discussing how the steamed egg custard tasted, both looked puzzled when they saw the person leave.
They didn't realize what was happening until Lin's mother came out of the kitchen.
"Phew~ They're finally gone, otherwise I would have had to stay in the kitchen for a while longer..."
Upon hearing this, the two siblings suddenly laughed.
