Hearing the noise coming from the kitchen, Xiao Chaoxi glanced over there curiously.
Hanamaki is cooking?
Can he also cook?
They all grew up in an orphanage, and their meals and drinks were cooked by the chef in the canteen of the orphanage. In her impression, Hanamaki probably couldn't cook.
But Hanamaki looks very skilled at chopping vegetables. Where did he learn to cook?
Xiao Zhaoxi couldn't figure it out, but she couldn't figure it out, so she wasn't going to ask Hanamaki.
She keeps everything in her heart. This is Xiao Zhaoxi's original character. She is not very good at communicating with other people.
This is related to her previous growth experience.
Since she was a child, her academic performance has been good, her grades are good, and she is well-behaved. Naturally, she is a good child in the eyes of teachers and deans.
Someone like her is definitely an outlier in the orphanage.
Naturally, she was ostracized by those "bad kids" with poor grades.
Being alone, she is easily bullied.
Over time, she slowly closed herself off, becoming more and more introverted and taciturn.
Zhi!
After a while, a nice smell of meat wafted out of the kitchen. Xiao Zhaoxi could not help but swallow when she smelled this smell.
It smells so good!
Although Xiao Zhaoxi had a full lunch, she realized that she was hungry after smelling the aroma.
After a while, Li Jie walked out of the kitchen with the fried shredded green pepper and pork. When he saw Xiao Zhaoxi still sitting on the sofa, he waved to her.
"Would you like some?"
He rummaged around in the kitchen and finally found a few green peppers and a small piece of pork, but fortunately they were still young and couldn't eat that much.
A large plate of shredded pork with green pepper, paired with the leftover rice from lunch, is enough to fill your stomach.
Xiao Chaoxi hesitated for a while, but finally couldn't bear the temptation of the fragrance. She nodded lightly and replied in an inaudible voice.
"Um."
"bring it on."
Li Jie smiled and waved to her: "It just so happens that I can't eat that much by myself."
"good."
Xiao Zhaoxi replied softly, then stood up and walked slowly towards the dining table.
Seeing Li Jie return to the kitchen, Xiao Zhaoxi quickly walked to the dining room and quickly sat on the chair.
Smelling the aroma of vegetables coming from the tip of her nose, Xiao Zhaoxi took a deep breath.
The green peppers are paired with the tender and smooth pork, especially when paired with the steam just out of the pot. Whether it smells or looks, this plate of green pepper pork is delicious!
Xiao Zhaoxi couldn't wait to take a bite.
Then, Xiao Zhaoxi secretly glanced towards the kitchen and saw Hanamaki washing the dishes. She quickly reached out and picked up a piece of shredded meat.
Then, he stuffed it into his mouth and chewed it quickly.
tasty!
Xiao Zhaoxi had a look of enjoyment on her face.
This is definitely the best dish she has ever tasted!
have to!
have to!
Suddenly, Xiao Chaoxi heard the sound of footsteps near her ears, and she immediately woke up from her intoxication.
Seeing 'Hanamaki' looking at him with a smile on his face, a blush suddenly appeared on Xiao Zhaoxi's face.
‘Hanamaki’ must have seen it!
How embarrassing!
Xiao Zhaoxi's current mentality was as if she had been caught stealing food, and she felt extremely ashamed.
"Eat."
Seeing Xiao Zhaoxi almost burying her head under the table, Li Jie couldn't help but smile, and then pretended that nothing happened, and just pushed the bowl in front of Xiao Zhaoxi.
After all, he is still a child, and he is still very sensitive.
"I...I'm not hungry anymore..."
When she said these words, Xiao Zhaoxi made a lot of determination, because the food in front of her was the most delicious food she had ever eaten in her life.
Now that the words are spoken, it means that she will not be able to eat such delicious food.
After saying that, Xiao Chaoxi was about to get up and go back to her room. Her performance just now was really embarrassing.
However, she had just stood halfway when a small hand pressed on her shoulder.
"Please help me eat a little. I can't eat so much by myself."
Xiao Zhaoxi slowly raised her head, glanced at the Hanamaki beside her, and was greeted with a warm smile.
As Li Jie spoke, he picked up Kuaizi, picked up some vegetables, and piled them into Xiao Zhaoxi's bowl.
In fact, he saw everything Xiao Chaoxi did when she stole food just now.
Although the orphanage treats them well, there are many children in the orphanage and the funding is not large. If they can usually have enough to eat, it is considered good.
How can they be picky about food and drink?
They eat whatever is cooked in the courtyard. Meat dishes are not available every day. They can only eat them every one or two days, and they are only small meat dishes.
In addition, how can the craftsmanship in the orphanage canteen be compared with Li Jie?
Even though Li Jie is only eleven years old and lacks wrist strength, his cooking skills exceed 90% of the chefs in the country.
Here, as soon as the words fell, Xiao Chaoxi's whole body froze.
She really wanted to eat, but she just said she was full and then broke her promise in the blink of an eye. Isn't it bad?
At this time, she was very confused.
However, as waves of fragrance wafted in, her willpower was quickly broken.
"Then...then I'll eat a little bit."
As he spoke, Xiao Zhaoxi put his thumb on his index finger and made a gesture.
"Um."
Li Jie smiled and nodded.
A little bit, the universe at your fingertips!
What happened next was just as he expected. At first, Xiao Chaoxi still ate in small bites.
But as she ate, her appetite got better and better, and she ate faster and faster.
In the end, most of the dishes on the table went into her stomach.
“So full!”
After finishing eating, Xiao Zhaoxi patted her bulging belly.
The next second, she immediately realized that there was someone else around her. However, she didn't know when Hanamaki was no longer on the chair next to her.
After turning around and searching around, Xiao Zhaoxi found that 'Hanamaki' was lying on the bed again, and it looked like she had fallen asleep again.
'It's okay, it's okay.'
Xiao Zhaoxi patted her chest with luck.
'Fortunately, Hanamaki was asleep and didn't see the little move he just made.'
'wrong!'
When did Hanamaki go to bed?
Did he see himself gobbling it down?
Because she was eating so seriously, Xiao Zhaoxi didn't even notice when Hanamaki left.
'He...he should have seen it, right?'
'How... would he... think of himself?'
Until now, Xiao Zhaoxi has realized the problem. She just ate too much, and it seemed that she ate very quickly?
Just like, just like a starving ghost reincarnated.
‘It’s over… it’s over…’
'He doesn't think I'm good at eating, does he?'
Xiao Zhaoxi is very clear about the current situation. From now on, 'Hanamaki' will be her brother, and they are a family.
